Title: Sister Switch Off

Chapter twenty-four ~ Sisterly Guidance
"Paige?" Piper knocked on Paige's bedroom door. It was now dark outside, and the moonlight shone on Paige's pale skin. Piper thought it made her sister look a little creepy, so she turned on the light.
"Yeah?"
"What's going on?" Piper shut the bedroom door, knowing that there was going to be some big sisterly bonding going on. She sat on the bed beside her youngest sister.
Paige sat up straight and pulled her legs up, wrapping her arms around her knees. Piper thought it made her look a little childish- even a little vulnerable.
"Does Dan want kids?" Paige asked, quite bluntly.
"That's something you're going to have to ask him." Paige sighed.
"But you dated him. And you two were in love; didn't you talk about your future?"
It was Piper's turn to sigh. She didn't think she'd ever have to bring up anything personal that she had talked about or did with Dan, ever again. When she chose Leo, she wanted everything personal she had with the other man gone. Now that Dan was back and completely taken with Paige, she knew in the back of her mind that Paige would ask questions.
"Paige, Dan loves kids. He took care of his niece, Jenny, for a while when he first moved in next door. Right now, I don't know if Dan wants children, especially since he just found out about his new heritage."
"Piper, is it bad that I love him?"
"No, wait- you love him?"
"Not like you and Leo. I love him like I love you."
"You love him like I love him, right?"
"Kind of." Paige sighed again. "I love him like there's gonna be another love. I mean, ugh." She growled in frusteration. "I'm not in love with him. I want to be, but I don't know what's stopping me from falling for him. And when I thought he didn't want kids, it drew back anything that may have formed.
"Piper, I want to be head over heels in love with this man."
Piper didn't know what to tell her. She had never felt that way about a man. Paige had such a liking towards Dan that she actually wanted to fall in love with him. With Piper, it was always in or out of love; there was no standing in the doorway waiting for something to happen.
"Paige," Piper said, thinking of words of wisdom, "I think that when the time comes," she paused. How was she going to form her words to say what she wanted to? "You'll be happy that it took so long, because you'll love Dan even more because of the hardships and the struggling that it will take to get you to that point."
There, she said what she wanted to. And she thought she did a darn good job for someone who had never been in the position that Paige was in.
Paige smiled at Piper.
"Thank you. Not for the piece of advice you just gave me, because I know you don't know what the hell you were talking about. Thank you for being here, Piper. Thank you for being the big sister who does what she can do to please everyone."
"Just for your information, I did know what I was talking about; I just hadn't experienced it." Piper smiled. "You're welcome."
"You should have been there when I was growing up. I probably wouldn't have turned out the way I was." Paige said, referring to her drinking and smoking habits as a teenager.
"No, you'd have been worse." Piper paused to see Paige's face. "I wasn't the best big sister, you know. I always look back and think 'Maybe if I would have done this'. I blame a lot of Phoebe's younger behavior on myself."
"Her younger behavior?"
"She was a delinquint. She'd gotten picked up by the cops and brought home several times for shoplifting. I figure if I had been a little more sisterly and friendly to her when we were kids, she wouldn't have been such a messed up teen."
"I don't understand. Phoebe's very-" Paige searched for her words.
"Level headed?" Piper tried to fill in the blanks.
"I was thinking something along the lines of law abiding, but that phrase doesn't sound right to me." The two sisters laughed.
"Do you want to do something that can and probably will get us into a bit of trouble?" Piper asked.
"Magical or no?"
"Magic is included, yes."
"Will they-" Paige looked up, "have a fit?"
"Probably."
"Just me and you or are the others included?"
"Phoebe and Wyatt."
"Does it involve me orbing all of us to the Bahamas where we can just lay out and relax and just feel at peace?"
"Um, no. I was thinking more along the lines of having a spell casting party. Maybe we can write a few more to add to the Book of Shadows."
"Writing- eh, sounds okay. Casting is what really draws my attention."
"Good, let's go downstairs and inform the boys of our plan."
"Um, we aren't going to go up a couple of bust sizes in the result of a personal gain issue, are we?"
"That may very well be a possibility." Piper said, lifting her eyebrows.
"Well, we'll just have to make a few adjustments to our spells, won't we?"
