Growing Part 1:
Paige – The super mama?
In this very short epilogue there will be three kinds of chapters.
- - - 1. The first kinds are chapters, which have something to do with the future of the charmed ones as we saw it on the show. You'll still see if what we saw there will match how things are here. Those chapters are marked with ?
- - - 2. the second kind of chapters are like normal writing, showing a little scene of their lives in the year 2015
- - - 3. Last but not least... there will be chapters, which deal with Prue's kids. The titles of those are mostly linked with the girl's passion and the happenings in the chapter. They're marked with !
Now... a little less on the structure but on the actual story. We're in the year 2015, what means, 11 years passed. We don't have single women standing in front of us anymore; we don't have kids anymore, but most likely teens. There's nothing which is the same thing as in all my starting chapters. They're only the basics. Here comes what it's after 10 years. I think we all know how complicated it is, if you didn't see a close friend for a while... and how much can change in even a little amount of time. You have been warned ;)
lats but not leats... most of the chapters are built up like the tv series 'once and again' there will be scenes of the life of the family mixed with the individual comments of the characters. Those comments will always come from the person, listed in the title of the chapter.

Paige was sitting on her bed, her husband Alex stood almost in front of her, getting dressed
"Don't go"
"Paige..."
"Don't Paige me... you can't go... I can't handle them all by myself!"
"Your sisters are there, they can help you"
"They're not my sisters' kids, but ours! You can't go... please Alex..."
"Paige, I have been home for a month now. I can't take off any longer"
"Well... then... let's... you could take fatherhood holiday, then I go to work..."
"Paige..."
Alex said, sighted and then leaned down to her height and kissed her
"I love you... you will handle this today... I'll see you tonight"
With those words Alex started for the stairs of the apartment, they had in the attic of the manor.
"Don't you dare to go now, Alexander!"
She yelled after him, but as he didn't listen, she sighted heavily and fell back onto her bed, trying to relax some more.

Hi, I'm Paige, Paige Manning. My life has always been a little... well a lot of trouble. When I was a teenager my parents died in a car accident. From then on I was left to handle myself.
It was 14 years ago, when I met my half sisters Prue, Piper and Phoebe. They're the best. My life changed completely. I became witch and with that, the success in having men, who love you for who you are and not just of what you can, decreased. My life became very chaotic, but that's how my character is anyway. It was okay. I actually loved it really much. I never had to do anything for more than just a few weeks. My life changed almost every week. It was cool. By now I had a billion of jobs and relationships already.
about... oh let's say... four years ago... everything started to change. Prue got me into a commercial agency through her connections to them. At first it was just another tempt job but that soon changed. I found my true destination there: I started to love my work at this commercial agency. I never loved something more than that. Well, okay that's a lie. A year after that, I met Alexander. Prue's photo agency makes a lot of pictures for the commercial agency I work at. I was signed to do this commercial for the airline Alex works for. Prue put herself onto that job as well, so we could work together. That's when I met him, only because Prue wanted me on the photo shoot there, I met my soul mate. It was love at first sight. Though I never actually thought, he could love me. Considering, he's indeed 15 years younger than me. But somehow we handled it.
Sometimes I think, he's the one being older. The straight headed. Not the crazy, young one.
He's a pilot. It's perfect. I have my freedom; I can be alone, when he's gone to work... we can technically be every weekend somewhere else... and when I need him he's there. Well... as you just saw... not always.
Our wedding was great. Seriously! The fact, that he's a pilot made it possible for us to marry in Greek and still, have all my family and friends there. We both wore completely white, except form some, blue accents. It indeed was complete and perfect Greek wedding. Everything matched. We even had blue roses.
We married a year ago, when I found out I was pregnant. We were thrilled. Well... he was. From the beginning, I knew, there was something different on this pregnancy. Something scary. And I knew well. After the second appointment, we found out we'd have triplets, yes, you heard right.
After the 5th month of my pregnancy I had to go on bed rest, since doctor's feared I go into pre-labour. The hell started.
For a month I'm now the mother of three, permanently crying, chewing my nipples, always dirty... little brats. I love the boys, I seriously do, but, I can't handle them. When I look at their faces, when they're asleep, I think... wow... that's my baby... but as soon as they're awake, the hell starts all over again. Alex is perfect with them. I'm a lousy mom. I know it. And I know my sisters know. One would have been enough already. But three at once? It's just something I can't handle.
But, who do I try to kid? This all went too fast for me. I love Alex, I love my kids, but I don't love them as MY kids... it'd be perfect if they were just another niece or nephew of mine. If I didn't have the burden on me to... to care for them. If I just, could be the... cool aunty, always giving them everything they want...

Paige had been laying for only a few seconds when you could hear baby crying coming from the next room.

You hear that? Hell's portals opened again. I better go...

"I hate, hate, hate it!"
Paige mumbled, got up and wanted to go through to the babies' room. She put her hand on the doorknob and then pulled away and orbed out. She couldn't handle that, she just wasn't able to.
