Disclaimer; I don't own Charmed or its characters or anything you recognise in this fic.

Summary; A story involving all 4 sisters when they were younger. The sisters are a little bit like they are on the show but the age gaps are completely different, Paige is quite young and Piper and Phoebe are a similar age and Prue is a few years older than them all. I haven't read a story that is exactly like this but I am very sorry if it seems like all the others out there, this was not my intention.

A/N; this is my first fan fiction that I have posted so please review. I have never written in chapters before so I don't know how well this will go. Sorry if I have got details wrong.

All In The Family For Once

Chapter One, Birthdays and Powers

Piper groaned and smacked her hand on the snooze button of her alarm clock. Rolling over and burying her face in the pillow promptly welcomed sleep again.

Phoebe, across the room, drew her pillow over her head to block out the early sounds of the morning.

Prue, across the hall, stretched and flung open he bedroom window and breathed in the fresh morning air.

Paige, in the room next to Prue, bounced off her bed and ran into piper and phoebe's room.

Piper heard the door creak and tensed her muscles, preparing for what she knew was coming. Oomph, escaped her lips and Paige launched herself into the air and landed on piper's stomach, forcing the air out o her lungs.

"Piper, guess what?" she squealed.

"What?" Piper obediently said, knowing the routine well by now.

"I get my powers unbound today!" she sang loudly as Phoebe wrapped her pillow round her head and groaned.

"I know sweetie, you have mentioned it a million times!" Piper smiled up at her littlest sister and opened the covers to let Paige snuggle into the covers.

The pair lay still for a minute listening to Phoebe's steady snoring and the chirruping of the birds on the tree outside.

" Pipe?" came a quiet voice.

"Yeh." Piper's hushed voice replied.

"It will go ok today right, I mean nothing bad will happen will it?" Paige looked to her big sister with a worried look on her young face.

"Of course it will honey, you are lot older now and you'll be able to control the power better. Paige, honey, it will be ok and if anything goes wrong I'll be there to freeze everything before you get hurt!"

When Paige was a baby she hadn't understood her power and couldn't control it, causing her to orb to places without knowing it and orbs things to herself without trying, which had resulted in various injuries, so Grams had bound her powers. She had tried to unbind Paige's powers once before, when she was old enough to understand and remember. Paige had been able to control her orbing abilities but if she got even slightly emotional she had power surges, which had seriously hurt her. Grams had suspected that this had only happened to Paige, not Prue, Piper or Phoebe, because of her father and his whitelighter blood, but didn't quite understand why.

"You sure?" Paige looked uncertain.

"Yes! Paige, it'll be fine!" Piper was the only sister Paige admitted to being scared or nervous to.

"Good, love you Pipe!" she bounced out of Piper's bed and ran to Phoebe's bed and flipped the bottom of the duvet up so Phoebe's feet were exposed to the cold morning air. She loved winding Phoebe up.

Later that morning, with Prue and Phoebe still to be found in pyjamas, the family gathered in the lounge.

"Paige, you know what to expect right?" Grams asked the youngest Halliwell.

"Yep. I finally get my powers back!" Paige gave Piper a glance and on receiving a wink in return, eyed the red liquid Grams handed her and downed it one gulp. No one dared to breath for a minute, but Paige finally cracked one eye open to see the damage and sighed when everything was ok.

"Great, it worked, lets get breakfast!" Prue said in her short way and disappeared into the kitchen. Paige shut her eyes and muttered under her breath, "Bagel."

"Hey!" Prue's frustrated voice echoed out from the kitchen as her bagel appeared in Paige's hand. Paige high fived Phoebe and Piper and the 3 went off to practice orbing. Grams raised her eyebrows and thought to herself, 'I see trouble from that young witch in the near future.'

A/N please review, I know nothing exciting happens in this chapter and it is not very well written but I would like to know if anyone thinks this story will go anywhere, so please review. I like this type of story so I will probably write more like this (but totally unrelated to this).
