Starlene was waiting when they arrived. "You're hired," Piper said the moment she saw her. THey could all see the enormous relief in her eyes. She impulsively hugged Piper then pulled away quickly. "I'm sorry. I just really need this job," she said, tryin to explain her reaction. "There's something I have to tell you though. It won't affect my job of course, but you may not want me to work for you.", she said nervously, "I have..cancer. The reason I needed this job so badly is I have a child. She's only three and she needs so much. I can't afford treatment. She comes first. Always," she said, letting her words hang. She waited quietly for rejection. Piper smiled compasssionately. "It doesn't change a thing. I want you to work for me anyway. As a matter of fact, anything you need, time off, whatever, you tell me. I'll do whatever I can to help you," Piper said, wanting to help. Starlene was shocked, they all could see it. "Thank you so much," she said, tears in her eyes, "I'll work hard I promise. When would you like me to start?." Piper thought a moment. "This afternoon if you don't mind. Four o'clock?," she asked. "I'll be here!," Starlene said happily and turned to leave. "and Starlene, I know you'll work hard. I'm happy to have you," Piper called out. Starlene turned back and smiled brilliantly. As soon as she was gone, both Paige and Phoebe hugged their sister. "Piper, I love that about you. Your compassion. You are such a wonderful person," Paige told her with a lump in her throat. Piper just shrugged modestly. They all turned guiltily towards Glenn. "Oh, I am sorry. We haven't been the best company," Paige said apologettically. Phoebe and Piper nodded their agreement to Paige's statement. "That's fine. I like to watch you work," he said with a wink. Paige blushed and her heart did cartwheels. "Stop it!," she told herself firmly, "This is Glenn. Best friend. Emphasis on the friend part!" "You know, you guys," Piper said thoughtfully, "It's pretty obvious why Rathin chose Starlene as his next victim. Which is all the more reason we HAVE to protect her!" Phoebe and Paige agreed wholeheartedly. As they began to walk off, Glenn caught Paige's hand. "Paige, there's something I have to tell you," Glenn began, preparing. "You guys go ahead and sit down. I'll be there in a sec," Paige told her sisters, then looked at Glenn. "Good news or bad?," she asked fearfully. Glenn smiled, warming her heart. "Great." Paige breathed a sigh of relief. "What is it? Don't leave me hanging here!," Paige demanded. Glenn took a deep breath and told her, "I'm getting married. She's wonderful. Her name is Emma." That's all it took for Paige. Tears sprang into her eyes and she turned away, not wanting him to see her cry. Glenn grabbed her and turned her to face him."What's this? Why are you crying?," he asked softly, brushing at the tears on her cheeks. "I'm sorry. I really am happy for you," Paige said, trying hard to smile. Glenn didn't buy it for a minute. "Tell me what's wrong Paige. We've been friends for too long for you to hold something back ow!," he said forcefully. Paige sighed, resigning herself. "I just feel as though I've lost something. It's stupid really. I AM happy for you Glenn. Believe me when I tell you that," she said pleadingly. GLenn decided to trust her. "You can't lose me! I don't go away. Kind of like a mesquito," he said, attempting to make her smile. Satisfaction poured through him at the sight of that tiny smile. "There you go. You're beautiful when you smile Paige," he told her gently. The compliment took her breath away. He thought she was beautiful. Glenn slung an arm about her shoulders and they walked to where her sisters were. She barely heard him telling them the new and their congratulations. She did however, notice the sympathetic smiles they tossed at her while he wasn't looking. Paige had a feeling they understood what was happening to her. They had noticed the tears. They'd recognised the pain in her eyes and were determind to comfort her the moment they had the chance. "I hate to see my baby sister in so much anguish," Piper thought to herself, "This is just not right."
