Paige eventually made her way to the Matthews when she was nine. After they died she was put back into the foster care system until she turned eighteen.

Set before Paige moves into the Manor

Part One

It was the beginning of yet another bright spring day in San Francisco. Piper and Phoebe were in the kitchen eating breakfast and making small talk when the conversation turned to Paige.

"Did you see Paige after the demon vanquish last night?" asked Piper. "She didn't look so good."

Phoebe agreed. "You're right. She looked like she was ill. Do you think we should go and check on her?"

"Yeah but should it be at work or should we try and get her before or after?"

"I'm thinking now. We can have Leo orb us over there and make sure she is okay."

"Sounds like a plan. Want the honors?"

"Certainly. LEO!! LEO, YOUR WIFE WISHES TO SEE YOU!!"

Leo orbs in. "Do you really have to say that?" he asks. "I get enough grief from the other whitelighters as it is. So what's up?"

"Paige is what's up," replied Piper. "Phoebe and I noticed that she didn't look so good last night so could you orb us over to her apartment to make sure she is okay."

"Inside or outside?" asked Leo.

"Oh, outside her door would work just fine," said Phoebe. "We wouldn't want to interrupt anything she might have going on. I know I wouldn't like it if in New York you guys had just randomly orbed in to my apartment in the morning. Plus, Paige has been an only child until she found us. She probably isn't used to having people check on her well-being especially her sisters."

"Okay," said Leo. "Hold on."

Piper, Phoebe and Leo orbed to right outside Paige's apartment door where Phoebe cautiously but firmly knocked on the door.

Part Two

After no response came from inside the apartment after the first knock, Piper told herself to calm down. 'Maybe she is just at work' she thought to herself. "Did anyone notice if her car was still here?" she asked.

"I did." Said Leo. "And yes it was. Doesn't look like it has moved since last night."

"Okay, then let's try knocking just a little louder now," Piper said as she proceeded to begin the hand motion to blow up the door.

"Whoa, slow down sweetie," said Phoebe. "Why don't I try knocking a little louder this time before we resort to applying any magical forces on the door?"

"Fine, but if this doesn't work we are either orbing in or I am going to blast down that door." Said Piper somewhat grumpily.

Phoebe just started knocking on Paige's door again while Leo tried to not look as hopeful that this would work. Then the call from the elders came. "Uhh … guys. I got to go and take this. The elders you know. Call me if you need anything." Leo said as he orbed out.

'Well there goes the first option,' thought Piper. "Okay Phoebe. It doesn't look like she is alive in there so as our first option is gone, I think it is time I …" She was interrupted by a faint "Yeah … Alright already I'm coming," that was coming from the other side of the door.

Paige opened the door a minute later in her robe and sleepwear. "Hi, guys," she said with a yawn. "Do we need to vanquish another demon right now? 'Cause I'm pretty tired and if this could wait like two hours so I could grab a nap then that would be a real good thing."

"Actually Paige, we came to check in on you and make sure you were okay." Said Phoebe.

"Yeah," Piper chimed in. "We noticed that you looked pretty tired last night and wanted to make sure everything was okay."

Paige replied, "I'm doing fine guys. Whatever would have you …" She broke off in a fit of coughing that seemed to take everything out of her as she sagged against the doorframe and used it as support for herself.

"Whoa," said Phoebe. "Yeah it sure looks like you're fine" she added as she added her support to that of the doorframe. "Piper, she is really warm."

"That does it," Piper exclaimed. "You are coming home with us. That way I know you are being looked after properly and that you are being cared for. No ifs ands or buts. LEO! GET YOUR TUSH DOWN! HERE NOW!"

"Wait a minute," protested Paige weakly as Leo orbed in. "I really don't think that …"

"Shhh, don't fight us on this Paige. We want to help you." Said Phoebe. "You can't tell me that you want to stay here all by yourself."

"Okay then. Let me go get changed and..."

Piper intervened. "Nope. No way. Our whitelighter taxi is here and there is no waiting. Besides what you have on will work just fine for a relaxing stay at home sick day. Let's go."
