Piper took Paige into the sitting room as noise erupted from the quiet upstairs.
"What's up sis?" Paige asked.
"It's Lacey"Piper said.
"What about her?" Paige asked.
"She's only a kid Paige, you're meant to be able to tell how she's feeling" Piper began.
"No that's phoebe's power" Paige interrupted jokily.
"You know what I mean, anyway, you know how she feels about Richard, she hates him, she doesn't want to be dragged around the town by him every other Saturday, can't you tell she doesn't want to go" Piper finished.
"I can tell, but there's nothing I can do about it anymore, I can't use magic and the only other way is through the legal systems and I don't want to drag them through that" Paige resigned.
"I know you don't want to drag them through it but she's got to have a reason for hating him, the guy's bad news Paige, you could be putting them in danger, he didn't want to know them until last year he left when Lacey was 4 and Nathan was 1 and he didn't want top know until her found out that Lacey single-handedly vanquished that demon" Piper pointed out.
"Piper,
we didn't tell you because we thought you'd be mad," Paige
said.
"Didn't tell me what?" Piper asked.
"Well Leo doesn't know either, but Lacey didn't vanquish that demon alone, Chris was there, he helped her" Paige told her sister.
"Paige I was mad enough when i found out you'd let Lacey go up against a demon, but it wasn't just her, you risked 2 of our families lives" Piper said in disbelief.
Phoebe ran in.
"Keep
it down I just got Josh to sleep" She moaned.
Phoebe studied her
sister's faces.
"Paige did you tell her?" She asked.
"You knew aswell"Piper huffed.
"Well yeah, we told them to get out the way and let us deal with it but they were so determined" Phoebe answered.
"Are you mad?" Paige asked.
"No
Paige I am way past mad, you endangered one of my children" Piper
fumed.
"You were fine with it when it was just Lacey"Phoebe
pointed out.
"Frankly Phoebe, I wasn't I just didn't show
it" Piper told her sister.
