CHAPTER 24: LIFE IS PERFECT
Paige awoke the next morning to the ringing of the phone. She stood up sleepily and called for the phone, "Hello?" she asked, only half-awake. "Hey Paige, it's Greg, I was just wondering if you missing our date last night had something to do with your uh, job?"
"Oh my God! Our date last night! I'm so sorry! It was our 6 month anniversary! Well I was kinda kidnapped, no don't worry I'm fine now. Okay look I'm gonna orb over there and come get you, hold on and I'll be right there." Paige hung up her cell phone and put it back in her purse. She was preparing to orb out when a stern voice stopped her, "Don't even think about it Paige, you are not to go anywhere alone. I am going with you and we are going to wake up Phoebe and Leo to warn them that we are leaving." Knowing better than to argue with Piper, Paige just nodded her head and walked back over to the couch where Phoebe was sleeping. When everyone grew tired of the demon stuff, Paige grabbed blankets our of Piper and Leo's closet to make a bed. She slept on the floor while Phoebe slept on the couch. Piper and Leo had fallen asleep on their bed with all three children in between them. "Pheebs, wake up. Piper and I are leaving for a second to get Greg. I'm gonna orb us there and we will orb straight back with him. Stay here and stand guard over the kids with Leo. He can orb you out if anyone attacks in the five seconds we're gone." Phoebe groggily mumbled something that Paige took for an "Okay" and she heard Leo mumble "Okay" behind her. Piper came up behind her and grabbed her hand. Within seconds they were in Greg's apartment. "Greg honey! We're here!" Paige yelled. Greg came out from the bathroom, brushing his hair. He walked over to Paige and gave her a long kiss. Piper cleared her throat loudly, breaking them up. "Hold on one sec Paige, I just gotta get dressed." Greg walked into his bedroom and shut the door. "After that little PDA, don't you every complain about me and Leo again." Paige just gave her a sarcastic smile while telling her to shut up. Greg walked out of the bedroom and grabbed Paige around the waist, preparing to orb out. "Hey hey hey, move apart and make room for the sister." Announced Piper, pulling Greg and Paige apart. She put her hand on Paige's shoulder and all three of them orbed out.
Leo was sitting on the bed, comforting Prudence and May while Phoebe was sound asleep. The twins had just woken up and were hungry for breakfast. Leo didn't want to leave Phoebe alone to go get their bottles. She would be unprotected in her sleep, he just had to wait for Piper and Paige to get back. No sooner had the thought entered his mind, did he see blue and white lights take the form of three familiar people. Piper heard the familiar crying of her daughters that meant they were hungry. She instructed Paige and Greg to stay with Phoebe and Wyatt while her, Leo, and the girls orbed down to the kitchen to get a couple of bottles and some snacks for everyone. As soon as Leo and Piper were gone, Paige pulled Greg down onto her bed of blankets and cuddled up close to him. She felt terrible for missing their anniversary dinner last night. Almost as if he knew what she was thinking Greg spoke up, "Paige, don't keep beating yourself up about last night. I'm more concerned about you. You were kidnapped and you're acting as if nothing happened. That's something really big Paige."
"I would have thought that too if I hadn't been turned into a vampire, a wood nymph, a goddess, a superhero, a demon, a mummy, shrunk, switched bodies with my sister, visited limbo, gone back in time, and so on and so forth. I just feel bad about ruining our date." Sitting up and turning to him, she continued, "Listen, there was something I've been meaning to tell you for about a week. Okay, well every time I see you, talk to you, or think about you, I get this feeling, it's kinda like a nervous, anxious feeling. Kinda hard to describe, but it's not bad. Now I talked to Piper about it because I had no clue what it was, I've never gotten that feeling before-"
Greg sat up and faced her before cutting her off, "Paige, I know the feeling. It's the feeling I get when I'm with you which is why I asked you to dinner after the party tomorrow night. Paige Matthews, I love you with all my heart, I can't live without you and I never want to. I know we haven't known each other very long but will you marry me?"
"Oh my God! YES!!!! I would love to marry you!" Paige jumped up and pulled her new fiancée to his feet, hugging him. Piper and Leo orbed in, holding bowls, boxes of cereal, milk, spoons, and bottles. "Umm…..did we come at a bad time?" asked Piper, a little sarcastically. "No! Greg just asked me to marry him!!" squealed Paige, running over to Piper. Piper dropped all the breakfast supplies on the bed and grabbed Paige. They both started jumping up and down, screaming. All the commotion woke up Phoebe, who was very confused. "Why must you scream?"
"Because I'm getting married!!" Yelled Paige. Phoebe was over by her sisters in a second, screaming along with them. Leo and Greg just looked on awkwardly. They had both become like brothers in the past couple months, bonding over the fact they both knew this moment would eventually happen. Leo turned to Greg, "Congratulations!" he said, shaking Greg's hand. "Thanks, I know it didn't come at a very good time but I just couldn't wait any longer."
"Don't worry about it, it's actually good, it'll get everyone's mind off of everything that's going on." By this point, Piper and Phoebe were done congratulating Paige and Paige and Greg were beaming at each other. "I suppose you want your ring?" Paige nodded her head and Greg pulled a little velvet box out of his pocket. He opened it, revealing a beautiful diamond ring and slipped it on her finger. She looked at it briefly before hugging him again. Everything was perfect for the moment, and no one wanted to ruin that feeling with mentions of demons and evil plots to kidnap them……
