Henry knocked on the door before striding in as he usually did, he spent pretty much every day here so felt right at home, but as he bumped into Phoebe in the hall his heart lurched with nerves. 'Oh hi Henry, Paige isn't here right now and me and Piper are going for her birthday present but your welcome to hang around 'til she gets home' Phoebe said brightly. 'Actually,' Henry stammered, 'It's you guys I came to see, I think you best sit down.' Phoebe's face instantly changed from smiley and cheerful to worried and anxious, 'Piper,' she called 'you need to get down here' Noticing the change in tone Henry chuckled to himself and said 'Phoebe, don't worry, it's nothing magical I just need to talk to you.' As Piper walked down the stairs Phoebe seemed to have relaxed and was sitting patiently at the kitchen table. 'What's the big emergency I was getting ready….' Piper said with wet and tangled hair drooping around her towelled shoulders. 'Henry needed to speak to us and I overreacted as usual you could go and finish up?' 'No it's fine I'm here now, so Henry what's with the formal conversation…..not that I don't welcome a good chat with a good friend' she grinned. With what appeared to be an increased confidence Henry explained that he had a bit of a speech prepared and the two girls would have to be patient with him. Smiling kindly Piper and Phoebe sat quietly and expectantly. 'Okay here goes,' he said sighing, 'Me and Paige have been seeing each other for a while now and as you can probably tell she has me wrapped right around her little finger,' Piper chuckled as Henry motioned this, 'and I was thinking lately that with it being her birthday soon I might get her something special,' he paused again and held a finger up to stop Phoebe reeling off a list of things he should buy, he hadn't come for ideas, he already knew exactly what to get her! 'I know you guys mean everything to her, ever since you welcomed her back into the family you've become three parts of a whole, so I know what your opinions mean to her,' Pheobe and Piper could see that Henry was losing his train of thought so prompted him to explain what was going on. 'I want to ask Paige to marry me, but only with your blessings.' The last sentence was rushed and Henry looked as though he was readying himself to be ejected from the property, so the two sisters reactions surprised him. Phoebe almost knocked him off his chair with a powerful hug and Piper smiled proudly, 'Oh Henry of course we want you to marry Paige, definitely, definitely, definitely' giggled Phoebe who was clearly overwhelmed with excitement. Piper was more composed and said evenly, 'Thanks Henry, it means a lot that you came for our blessing, not that you needed it, we can see that you make Paige happy and that's all we need.' Henry was grinning like a school boy, 'There was actually a few other things that I wanted to mention, don't feel under any pressure 'cos I completely understand if there isn't the space but…..well I wouldn't want to come between you three, and Paige always seems happiest when she's at the manor' 'Henry, your rambling' Piper said mocking him playfully, 'Oh sorry,' replied Henry, 'Well I was basically wondering if I could move in here?' Henry again braced himself for a negative reaction but Piper simply chuckled, 'Well I'm guessing that you'll be sharing with Paige so you won't take up any extra room, as long as your prepared for the kids 3am feeding cry, your welcome' Henry grinned again, he pounced on his soon to be sister in laws, fingers crossed, knocking the wind out of them as they all laughed hysterically. All three composed themselves and Henry politely asked if the girls would help him pick an engagement ring, after all they would have a much better idea of what Paige would like than him, he was just a parole officer, he chuckled to himself at that thought.
