Chapter Six.
Paige stared in shock as Shane dropped the back pack he was holding and ran across the room, swooping Paige up into a big hug.
"Can't… breathe…"Paige gasped as she struggled to push against him.
Shane let go quickly and held her at arm's length. "Paige, honey, where have you been? I've been looking everywhere for you!"
"I was at the manor." Paige's eyes widened as she remembered the truth spell.
"What's that? Some new club?" Shane lowered his arms and held her hands, Paige quickly pulled them away.
"No, it's where I live."
"Paige, you live here, with me." His eyes suddenly clouded with fear. "Are you trying to tell me you are breaking up with me?"
"No." Paige looked around the room, searching for an escape.
Shane looked confused. "What's wrong?"
Paige looked up, dreading what she would say. "Prue is alive, she was meant to be dead, but then Piper, Phoebe and I cast this spell that brought her back to life and now it seems like they don't need me anymore."
Shane stood up, shocked. "Paige, I think you should talk to someone."
"No, I'm fine." Paige plastered a smile on her face, deciding to make the most of the truth spell. "So how long have we lived here?"
"About a year…" He started, Paige cut him off.
"And are we…" she paused, cringing. "Married?"
Shane looked at his hands. "No." He paused. "So that's what this is about."
Shane lifted her chin gently, looking her in the eyes, and gave her a soft kiss on her lips.
Then he walked silently over to the chest of drawers and pulled out a small box. He walked over to her slowly, unsure, before kneeling down onto one knee. He opened the box, revealing a beautiful diamond engagement ring and offered it up towards her. Paige stared in shock.
"I wanted to wait until tonight at dinner, but…" Determination set into his eyes.
"I love you, Paige Matthews. Will you marry me?"
But before she could answer, she disappeared in a swirl of bright lights.
"I cannot believe you did that!" Paige cried angrily, storming down the stairs with her sisters close behind.
"I told you she wouldn't like it." Phoebe whispered to Prue.
"I was with Shane, I don't know how to explain this to him." Paige cried, turning around and throwing her arms up in the air before storming off into the kitchen. Piper and Phoebe shared a look.
"Wait, Shane? As in the Shane?" Piper asked as they walked into the kitchen.
Prue ignored her Piper. "Paige, don't be ridiculous. We had to, you just ran off on us and we had no way to find you!" She said, putting her hands firmly onto the bench.
"Paige grabbed a bottle of water out of the fridge and spun around to face their not-so-dead sister. "See, there's this new invention, called the phone. Try using it."
"I'm sorry, I must have been too busy being dead to remember." Prue retaliated.
"Just because…"
"Okay, stop it, right now!" Piper said fiercely, standing between her sisters.
"Why are you two fighting?" Phoebe said. "Prue, we just brought you back to life, with the help of Paige, I might add. You should be just a little more thankful. And Paige, give her some understanding, will you? I mean, just a few hours ago she was a pile of bones."
Prue crinkled up her nose. "Let's not talk about how dead I used to be, okay? And besides, I don't remember any of that. All I know is that I went to bed last night with two sisters, and I wake up with three."
Paige looked at Prue. "I'm sorry. But this is hard for me too, my life has changed."
"We heard." Phoebe's eyes twinkled mischievously. "So, what's this we hear about Shane? Are you two together? "
Paige leaned against the table. "Apparently so. He asked me to marry him."
"What?" Piper's mouth hung open in shock. "What did you say?"
"Nothing, I didn't get a chance to. I was called, remember?"
"Yeah, I'm sorry about that." Prue said guiltily.
"That's okay." Paige paused. "I don't know what to say to him. Technically I've only known him for a few months, but he has known me for a couple of years. How do I explain to him that I need more time?"
Piper put her arm around Paige's shoulders. "You just tell him that you need to think about it."
Phoebe smiled. "This is going to be so great. We have you back, Prue. We have Paige. We can all be together. One happy family."
Paige suddenly frowned, her hand flew to her head.
"Paige, what's wrong?" Prue asked, concern kicking in.
"I… I don't know." Paige said truthfully, before her eyes rolled into the back of her head and she collapsed into Piper's arms.
