Chapter 2 – Mistake

Paige and Phoebe came home later that afternoon. Nobody mentioned what had happened earlier. Leo and Piper had pretty much forgotten about it until there was a ring from the doorbell.

Paige opened the door to a tall, slim, smartly-dressed woman followed by three policemen.

"Where can I find Piper Halliwell and Leo Wyatt?" one of the policemen asked. He was tall and muscley and had beard stubble.

"Umm…" Paige replied with a bewildered look.

The woman and the policemen barged past, inviting themselves in. Piper and Leo were in the sitting room with Chris. Wyatt was with Phoebe at magic school. When the policemen and woman entered the room, Piper shot Leo a confused look.

"Piper Halliwell and Leo Wyatt?" The muscled policeman asked.

"Yes…?" Piper answered.

"I'm Detective Jameson. This is Nancy Rogers from Social Service." He gestured towards the smart looking woman, "I'm taking you both into custody."

"Whaa…?" Piper said with a look of shock and disbelief as the Nancy took Chris from her and walked stepped outside and waited in the hallway. The policeman handcuffed her first and then Leo.

"I'm arresting you on suspicion of child abuse. You do not have to say anything. Anything you do say can and will be used against you in court."

"There must be a mistake, we-" Leo started.

"I don't make mistakes." Detective Jameson replied.

Detective Jameson whisked Leo and Piper away towards the police car as a bemused Paige watched them.

"Wait…where are you taking us? Where are you taking Chris? I want my baby. Give me my baby!" Piper half screamed at the guy. She tried to squirm out of his grasp and Paige could tell her oldest sister was panicking big time.

"Hey lady, I think it's best if you come with us." Said a very handsome police officer. He was of average height and had a dimple in his cheek when he smiled. He had gorgeous brown eyes and Paige couldn't help notice his muscles and chest. She tried to look away from his eyes, those mesmerizing eyes.

"W-Why?"

"To give a statement…mostly." He smiled, showing his cute dimple. Paige couldn't help notice there was something with the way he said 'mostly'. She followed the man outside. It was dark and cold and Paige didn't have a jacket. She was wearing a backless top and short skirt. She shivered from the cold and wondered what would become of her sister, brother-in-law and nephew,

Paige waited on a chair in the police station. The temperature wasn't much different to outside and Paige hugged herself. She still had no idea what was going on. Her mind wandered to Wyatt and Phoebe who were currently unaware of this event. She kept her head down trying to avoid the creepy grins she received from random people. She recognised Betsy Brown and waved at her. Betsy didn't look to happy as she walked towards Paige.

"Paige." She didn't bother to sit down and Paige didn't bother offer her a seat either.

"Hi Betsy." Paige replied. Something told her Betsy wasn't in the mood to be cheerful.

"You worked with Social Services, right?"

"Yeah, so?"

"So? How could you stand aside and let Piper treat that poor baby like that? I thought of all people you would stand up for him." Betsy looked very upset and distraught.

"Woah…I don't even know what's going on." Paige answered.

"Don't play innocent with me! You know exactly what I'm talking about. You're as much as a monster as your sister. I hope you both rot in hell. How could y-" Betsy raised her voice drawing attention to some police officers.

"Betsy, I think that's enough don't you think?" The man from before said. Betsy shot him a look before leaving. The man came to sit by Paige.

"Hey lady, sorry about that." He said

"It's okay…Thanks…What's going on?"

He stared at her with half a smile on his lips.

"You seriously don't know?" He asked as Paige shook her head, "Your sister's been arrested on suspicion of child abuse."

"What? That's crazy! Piper would never hurt Chris, or Wyatt, she loves them like crazy!"

"Betsy Brown said she saw your sister hit the baby, Chris."

"Betsy Brown is sick in the head." Paige muttered.

It was silent for a few minutes as Paige registered what this man had just told her.

"Lady, you look cold, do you want a jacket?"

"I'm fine really I…" Paige started to say, but he already took of his brown jacket and put it around her shoulders. His jacket had the sweetest smell. It smelt of mints and strawberries and something else. She smiled.

"Thanks." She said.

"You want anything, lady, something to eat or drink?"

"No thanks. And by the way my name isn't 'lady'." Paige said.

"I thought so. Well then what is your name?" He asked.

"Paige Matthews."

"Nice to meet you, Paige." He held out his hand and Paige shook it.

"You too…?"

"Henry Mitchell."

"Well, nice to meet you, Henry." Paige smiled shyly, "

"So what's gonna happen to my sister and brother-in-law?" Paige asked with a look of concern.

"They'll be put on trial most probably. I don't know much about it yet."

They sat in silence for a while, trying to avoid looking at each other.

"Listen I gotta go, catch you later?"

"Sure."

Henry got up and walked away, as Paige watched after him. She couldn't help smiling a lot. Then she remembered the jacket.

"Wait! You forgot you…"

He was already gone.

"…Jacket."
