Chapter 10
"Yeah, this is her," Leo said cautiously "Her name is Paige Matthews"
"Hey Paige" They all say together creepily like kindergarten students talking to their teacher.
"Leo, could you come in the kitchen I need to talk to you, it's kind of important," Piper said hinting toward Leo to come to the kitchen.
"What do you need?" Leo said.
"Does she know were witches? Is she a witch? Can we tell her? I am so confused with this situation Leo." Piper said frantically facing around the kitchen looking for something to eat.
"Calm down Piper, its okay." Leo said trying to calm her down. "No, she doesn't know you or her are witches, no you probably might not want to tell her just yet. But right now I have to go they're calling, I'm going to go and tell Prue, Paige, and Phoebe." as he walked out of the kitchen but making sure to still at least give Piper a hug. "Hey, guys I have to go I'll be back soon I promise, don't worry Paige"
"Oh, I won't" Paige said as Leo walked out of the door (He had to use the door because Paige didn't know about any of that stuff yet)
"Prue! Phoebe! Come to the kitchen Please" Piper said calling them "Paige, do you want anything to eat? I'll make you something, just make your self comfortable"
"Okay, where's your bathroom?" Paige said looking around.
"Up stairs to the left" Piper said
"Thanks! Found it!" Paige said
"I wonder why Left her here with us?" Prue said.
"She doesn't know anything about witches or witchcraft or even that she's going to be a witch, so don't say anything to her about her or us. I don't want her to leave, Leo would kill me if he knew I let his charge to" Piper said quietly to her sisters making sure for Paige not to hear her.
"Ok, I wont say anything, we should probably go back out there" Phoebe said.
"Hey" Paige said to Piper, Phoebe, and Prue as they walked in from the kitchen.
"What did you want to eat?" Piper said, "I'm a pretty good cook, I'm the chef at Quake"
"Oh, really? I eat there sometimes, there food is good" Paige said "but I'll just have a peanut butter sandwich, you do have peanut butter right?"
"Yeah, we do, I'll be right back" Phoebe said, "I think I am capable enough to make a simple sandwich"
"You sure about that," Piper said "sometimes I'm not so sure" she said laughing.
"Shut up!" Phoebe yelled as she was walking into the kitchen.
"So… How did you meet Leo?" Piper asked Paige curiously
"Well, I don't really remember" Paige said trying to remember. "He just kind of showed up one day really."
"Oh, I see," Piper, said, "How long have you known him?"
"I don't know maybe a month or two," Paige said starting to get annoyed by all the questions about him.
"I'm sorry for all the questions, were just trying to get to know you better that's all," Prue said. "You can ask us questions if you want" Piper gave Prue and evil look like why the hell did you just say that, I don't want her asking about our lives.
"It's okay," Paige said. "Well I don't really know what to ask you, How long have you all been living together?"
"Well, for a while we each had our own apartments, and Phoebe lived in New York, our grams' lived in this house, until just recently she died." Prue explained. "And our father is out and has been out of the picture for a while now."
"I advise don't ask about him, it's a touchy subject for her" Piper said.
"Why did you all end up moving back here?" Paige asked.
"Well, this house has been in our family for I don't know how long and it was left to us in our grams' will," Piper said.
"I never knew my parents or grandparents really," Paige, said, "I had really great foster parents, but they died in a car accident a while back though, so I've just been living on my own, and I am a social worker"
"Wow that's interesting, sorry you never knew your parents," Prue said
"Oh its okay, I really never wanted to they must not have cared about me too much any way." Paige said.
"Hey Phoebe you almost done in there?" Piper said "I thought you weren't going to have any trouble, I mean you live here you know where everything is right."
"Yeah I'm coming I'm coming, I just made a little mess in here that's all." Phoebe said walking in carrying PBJ sandwiches for everyone.
"Oh, so that's what took you so long," Piper said grabbing a sandwich "Good thing you did too I was starting to get hungry"
"See I am useful around here sometimes" Phoebe said. "So what have you guys been talking about?"
"A lot of stuff actually," Prue and Piper, said "Yeah, you keep thinking that your useful" Piper said as Phoebe stuck her tongue out at her."
"Well, so what do you want to talk about?" Paige said. Just then, Leo orbed in,
"Do you guys have a sandwich for me, I'm starving?" Leo asked as he too a seat next to Piper on the couch.
"Yeah, we do, but watch out Phoebe make them" Piper said laughing.
"Shut up Piper!" Phoebe said, handing Leo a sandwich.
"So Paige, have you been having a good time over here?" Leo asked Paige in between bites of his sandwich.
"You really like that sandwich don't you?" Phoebe asked.
"Yeah, its ok but I think I was just hungry" Leo said taking another bite.
"Leo, will you come talk to me in the kitchen please?" Piper asked, walking toward the kitchen.
"Yeah, sure, what's it about?" Leo said as he was following her.
"We'll be right back you guys" Piper said.
"Leo, do you want to go on another date with me? I know it's weird that I just asked you to come out of the room just to say that but I didn't want to say it in front of every one, you know? I had a great time during our last date, I and I wanted to plan the next one so I could surprise you this time." Piper said very seriously.
"Yeah, sure you don't have to be so worried to ask me out, you know that right?" Leo said.
"Yeah, I know that now, I just don't normally ask the guy out, I wait for them." Piper said. "Paige seems like a nice person, when are you going to tell her that she is a witch?"
"When she needs to know, I don't want to freak her out or anything," Leo said. "I'm glad you like her, can I tell you a little secret about her and trust you not to tell anyone, not even your sisters?"
"Yeah you know you can trust me Leo," Piper said.
"I know I can trust you its just kind of a really big secret, and it involves your family and Paige's," Leo said
"I swear on our relationship that I won't tell a soul." Piper said really wanting to know what Leo had to say now.
"Okay, well…" Leo said wondering how he was going to say this to her when not even Paige knew. "Well, your mom had an affair with her white lighter."
"So what are you saying by that?" Piper said.
"Your mother and her white lighter, Had a child, and that child is Paige," Leo said afraid to hear what Piper was going to say to him. "You can't say anything to anyone, Paige doesn't even know yet"
"Are you kidding me?" Piper said a little louder than she expected to.
"No, I'm not kidding, but you can tell anyone," Leo said "I had to tell some one and you're the one I trust the most, and I know you can keep a secret"
"Okay, I won't let you down Leo," Piper said "I Promise"
"Thank you Piper," Leo said.
"It's ok, your welcome" Piper said. As Leo came up and hugged her, and she hugged him back, she was so glad to be in his arms, she never wanted to leave but they had to they couldn't leave them waiting out there for too long. "We should probably go back out there, they'll be wondering what were doing"
"Yeah, your right, but remember don't say anything to anyone." Leo said
"I won't" Piper said starting to get very annoyed and starting to feel like he didn't trust her. "Can you please stop telling me that, it makes me feel like you don't trust me or something?"
"Okay I'm sorry, it's just that I wasn't really supposed to tell anyone my self and I don't want anyone to find out" Leo said.
"Okay let's go back out there," Piper said as she walked out the door into the living room.
"Okay were back, sorry that took so long, I just had to talk to Leo" Piper said to all of them as she was carefully looking at her half sister, wondering if it was real, or if what they talked about in the kitchen had really happened.
"We were just talking about our lives and our families," Phoebe said.
"Yeah, were getting to know each other really well!" Paige said.
Piper was starting to worry, do they know about the secret Leo had just told her, no they could not Leo said that not even Paige knew that they were sister and she didn't even know she was a witch. "Oh, that's cool" Piper said coolly.
"Leo, when are we leaving?" Paige asked as she was starting to get bored talking about her family to people she didn't even know.
"We'll go right now," Leo said looking at all of them (mostly Piper), "Just call if you need anything"
"Will do," Prue said.
"Bye Leo" Piper said.
"Bye everyone" Leo said in return as he walked himself out the door.
"That Paige girl seems nice enough," Prue said.
"Yeah, she is nice" Phoebe said.
"Yeah she is," Piper, said, "I think I'm going to go and take a nap, I'm pretty tired"
"Okay honey" Prue said, "I'll talk to you later, do you need anything?"
"No, I don't need anything except sleep" Piper said going up stairs, but not intending to actually sleep. Her plans were to call down her mother and grams to ask if what she had just learned about Paige was real. She walked up stairs to her room, and made it look like she was in her bed and locked the door, then she headed up to the attic to look if they're was a way to summon them. "Hmmm… let's see," Piper said to her self "oh here it is 'How to summon a spirit' all I need is something that belonged to each of them and 9 candles placed in a circle, sounds easy enough" Then she walked around the attic, being sure to be quiet, because she was supposed to be sleeping, looking for supplies, she found a pair of Grams boots, and Moms hair brush, "I think these will be perfect to use, I hope this works" she continued thinking to herself.
She did exactly what the Book of Shadows told her to do, then there was a light breeze all around her, then her mother and Grams appeared, they were see through, but none the less they were there.
"Mom? Grams? Is that really you?" Piper said, making sure she had done the spell right.
"Yes, honey, it's us. Where are your sisters?" Her mother asked.
"They're downstairs," Piper, said, "I just needed to ask you a little question, and I couldn't let them know, it's kind of a secret"
"Okay, ask anything" Grams said.
"Well, today Leo told me that Paige Matthews was our half sister and that you had an affair with your white lighter" Piper said "Is that true?"
"Yes, it's true, she is your half sister, and we gave her up for adoption because white lighters and witches aren't supposed to date, let alone have a child together." Her mother said, "I'm sorry I didn't tell you guys,"
Just then, the attic door opened, with Prue and Phoebe looking very confused.
AN: What did they hear of their Grams, their mom, and Pipers conversation?
Sorry it took so long to up date, I had a minor case of writers block.
