Paige pouted as Piper helped her into pajamas and then as Prue tucked her into bed. She wasn't entirely sure what had happened between the living room and the bathroom, but she knew she had remembered something important and that she had to tell her sisters as soon as possible.

Well not all of them. How could she possibly tell Phoebe her boyfriend was the evil demon who kidnapped and raped her?

Piper came over and kissed her on the head "Well, I'm going back to bed. Goodnight Paige, I love you."

"Night Paigey." Phoebe said as she repeated Piper's actions, though Paige had to try not to flinch or start crying right then and there.

As Piper and Phoebe left the room, they met with Prue who stood at the doorway of her bedroom.

"Goodnight guys." She said pulling both of her little sisters into a big hug "I love you both."

"We love you too." Phoebe replied "Take care of Paige, okay?"

"Always"

"I guess maybe we'll have a talk with her in the morning, if she doesn't say anything beforehand." Piper suggested with a shrug "This is becoming a bigger and bigger issue. Maybe its time to look to someone for professional help."

Prue frowned "Yeah, that's something we need to discuss though we'd probably need to find someone magical because who else will understand the full story? That's a discussion for tomorrow though. It's already 4 am. We might as well go back to sleep for a few more hours."

Piper nodded "Alright. Sounds good. Let us know if anything happens."

"Of course" Prue reassured her sisters pulling them into one last big hug "Sleep tight"

"You too Prue" Phoebe replied and as Piper walked away she added softly "And thanks."

"Anytime baby sister." Prue smiled at Phoebe before retreating back into her room where Paige lay in bed looking frightened and conflicted as she played with the seams on Prue's quilt.

Prue climbed into bed and leaned over to kiss Paige's head, deciding that she herself wouldn't bring up Paige's latest incident.

"Night sweetie. I love you." Prue said tucking the sheets around Paige's chin "I'm here if you need me."

Prue then leaned over and shut out her night table lamp cloaking her room in darkness.

Prue lay awake waiting. She knew it wouldn't be long. Any minute now…

"Prue?" Came Paige's tiny voice from next to her, just like Prue had expected

Prue turned towards Paige "What's the matter honey?"

Paige didn't even respond she just flung herself into Prue's arms and began sobbing into her shoulder. What was she going to do? How was she supposed to tell her sisters what was going on? Would they even believe her?

Prue's eyes widened in shock. Paige was tough, and it wasn't often she acted like this. The last time really had been just before she returned from the underworld. Now Prue was worried. Whatever Paige saw before her sisters got to her must've been awful.

"Shhh honey" Prue attempted to sooth rubbing Paige's back "What's wrong? What did you see before that's got you so upset, huh?"

Paige shook her head and for a minute Prue wondered if she had been too pushy.

Then she wailed- "Ohh, you're going to be sooo mad at me."

Prue was even more surprised now. "Paige, nothing you say will drive me away. I'm your big sister, and I'll love you no matter what." She reassured her sister anyway

"I have to tell somebody, I tried to tell Piper but she misunderstood." Paige replied with more head shaking. "You probably won't even believe me." She sniffed.

Prue smoothed her sister's hair, and pulled her into a warm hug "Of course I'd believe you. You're my baby sister and nothing trumps that. Nothing okay?"

"What about another baby sister? What then?" Paige said again dissolving into sobs

"Phoebe?" Prue asked "What's this got to do with her?"

"Nothing. Nothing at all." Paige replied turning away from Prue and trying to pull the covers over her head "Forget I said anything…I should've never brought it up."

"You don't think I would've?" Prue replied as she saw Paige retreat away, "Paige?!"

She could hear her sister's sniffling again as she began to hiccup beneath the blanket that she thought was shielding her from Prue.

"Paige, you cannot just say something like that to me and then take it all back. If something is going on I need to know so I can protect you and this family." Prue tried to reason with her sister, but also kind of trick the truth out of her. 'You wouldn't want anything bad to happen to say Phoebe would you?"

"No" Paige said from beneath the blankets "No"

"Well what if whatever you are keeping from me could put her in danger?"

"Maybe if I don't keep it from you I will be in danger? What then?! If I tell you both Phoebe and I will get hurt. This whole family will get hurt!" Paige screamed at her sister her voice breaking into sobs "And it will all be my fault as usual!"

Prue didn't know what to say. Was Paige hinting at what she thought she was? It couldn't be…

"Is this about Cole?" Prue asked her voice rising a little bit into sort of a shriek in conjunction with her own shock.

Paige tensed from her spot under the covers. "No! I never said that! Leave me alone!" She yelled dissolving into more tears

Prue was surprised neither of her sisters had come in yet to see what was going on. Their rooms were right next door. What if Phoebe had heard something? What would she do? Hopefully she was asleep, and Prue knew that if she was all that was shared between her and Paige would be a secret still.

"Paige, please, you have to tell me. I'm your big sister! I'll fix it!" Prue pleaded, knowing that she had to know the truth so she could break whatever news it was to her sisters. If it was as big as Prue thought, then she would do everything in her power to stop the blowup she anticipated.

"Go away Prue!" Paige sobbed "I have a headache and you're yelling at me."

Prue listened to her sister's whine and couldn't picture her as anything but the child she really was. Prue really had to be more careful and mindful of Paige's delicacy. Her little sister had had enough.

" Okay, okay shh." Prue calmed Paige pulling her out of her cocoon and letting her lean against her chest. "I'm sorry honey that I yelled at you. Do you want me to get you some Tylenol or Advil or something?"

Paige shook her head "No just hold me"

Prue was once again taken aback by Paige's blatant immaturity but nevertheless complied with her sister. She wasn't acting like herself, and Prue would have to get to the bottom of it eventually. But it could wait one more night, it would have too.

Prue looked at her sister's face as it was illuminated by the light of the moon shining through her curtains. Her eyes were closed, but Prue knew she wasn't asleep and couldn't help wondering what was going through her head. She was almost sure whatever had happened to Paige had something to do with Cole, but how could she face that if it was true? Would she really be forced to choose sides like that? Was the man her sister loved really capable of hurting someone as innocent as Paige? How could he do this to Phoebe?

But Prue was jumping ahead to conclusions. She could be talking about anybody, though the pool was limited. Maybe, well, there were too many maybes. Prue would just have to wait until morning.

"I'm sorry" Paige mumbled again, though this time she sounded very close to sleep "Please don't hate me."

Prue leaned down and kissed her baby sister one last time "I could never hate you baby. I love you very much and that will never change."

Paige was silent for a long time, and Prue was almost sure she had fallen asleep. She was close to sleep herself.

Before she drowsed off, almost inaudible, came Paige's voice again.

"Wait"
