A/N: This is just a little idea I had after I watched one of the reruns on my old charmed tape: "House Call" and I felt bad for Paige, so I decided to make this! I hope everyone likes it. I doubt I'll get more than like 20 reviews let alone 1 review on this first chapter since fanfiction.net has gotten so popular and nobody really looks at the new works anymore....they just like to stick to the old and better ones. Enjoy? And remember to check out my other story: "Separation." Just a little click to my profile people...I promise you I'll update on that soon.

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters or ANY part of Charmed at all (although I wish I did. God that Julian McMahon is just so....yummy.) Don't send your tons of mafia hitmen to kill me please?

Summary: Glenn and Jessica live a happy marriage and they also have the blessing of expecting a new baby any time soon and Glenn couldn't be any happier....but trouble strikes the Belland household that leads to pain and suffering for Glenn as he runs to the Charmed Ones for help with anger and revenge on his mind. Paige can't help wondering if it was destiny for them being more than just friends....what will happen? Please read and review!

Takes place one year after "House Call." I ignored the whole goddesses, leo becoming an elder and leaving, Chris coming from the future thing so in this fic, that stuff never happened. After Wyatt was born, just the normal kind of situations appeared up in the Halliwell household....

A Moment to Spare- Chapter 1

by countertiger-x

Somebody was after them. Somebody wanted to cut every inch of their bodies into pieces.....Somebody wanted both of them dead.

But who?

Glenn kept running, the sweat beads racing down the side of his cheek. He knew things like this existed, he believed it all since...forever. He only needed Paige and her weird sisters to confirm that everything was indeed, so...true. But why him? Why was it chasing him and Jessica? They didn't do anything wrong. All they did was go and live great lives, and they were even starting a family.

But why them? Why him?

Glenn looked around and realized that he'd been running into nothing. He'd been in a room of endless dark and had nothing to lead him to a right way, if there was one. He looked behind him, and the creature was gone. Why had it been chasing him? Things like this just didn't happen every-....

"GLENN! HELP! PLEASE!!!"

Glenn jerked around and looked where the shriek came from. He knew her voice. "JESSICA! JESSICA, WHERE ARE YOU??" he yelled out into the darkness.

"GLENN HELP ME! PLEASE!! GLENN!" she just kept screaming. Glenn started to run again, just following the tracks of her voice. He ran faster, hoping he would find her somewhere. He just needed to get to her. Jessica was in trouble, and she wouldn't let anything happen to her. Not his wife.

Or his unborn son...

He ran, feeling something heavy pulling on his chest, knowing it was a symptom of exhaustion. He knew he had to stop or he would collapse. He halted as he caught his ragged breath and bent down to rest and pull all of his weight to his knees. His mouth was open, sucking in all the possible air he could and he used his right hand to wipe the drenches of sweat from his head. He looked up slowly and saw that there was some sort of a figure a few yards ahead of him.

He arched his eyebrows, trying to make out the shape in the dark, but couldn't quite catch what it was....until it collapsed to the floor.

It was Jessica.

He snapped from his resting state and ran as fast as he could to her and slid as soon as he reached her place. He took her into his lap as she stayed lying on the floor. Crimson red blood was all over her, and as Glenn lightly touch her cheek, it spread to his hand. He saw her stomach, doused in blood and he held her tightly as he stared at her pale white face. Her eyes turned toward Glenn and her voice sounded extremely fragile as she spoke.

"Glenn....Glenn....evil...."

"Jess, don't speak....." he whispered, his cracking voice revealing his tears. "You shouldn't move..."

He felt the humongous ache in his heart as he saw her weak and wounded. She couldn't leave him....she meant everything to her. He held her to his chest and cuddled into her soft blonde hair. "You'll be okay...you and the baby...." he said as he rubbed her bloody stomach.

"Glenn....he's gone...baby's gone....." she said as she slowly tried to speak, but her breathing grew slower. Her teeth were stained with the same red that stained her skin. "No...NO.....this isn't happening..." he whispered.

"Glenn....just kiss me...I love you...." she kept going. Glenn hesitated and stared into her eyes. He didn't want to lose her. All he wanted was for everything to be normal. He leaned his head forward and kissed her gently, loving the feeling as their lips touched, trying to think of nothing else but him and her. As he lifted his head up his eyes were closed and once he opened his eyes, the sight in front of him shocked him. It wasn't Jessica anymore.

It was now his old time lover and childhood friend, Paige Matthews who was bloody and hurt and dying.

His heart leaped. "Paige?? Paige...." he said, holding her head closely. He stroked her bright red hair and she stared at him with longing eyes as Glenn returned the stare, suddenly forgetting all about his wife and his unborn son. "God...Paige....don't leave...what happened to you...." he whispered.

"Evil....Glenn...run. They took everything....Glenn...just run."

"I won't leave you."

"Glenn....somebody's after you. You have to go..." her voice getting fainter and fainter. Suddenly, her eyes broke their gaze and closed as her body went limp in his arms and the rising and falling of her chest stopped abruptly. Glenn couldn't begin to realize what was happening. "Paige...? PAIGE??? PAIGE!!!" he screamed but heard laughing up ahead. He looked up from Paige and saw a huge fireball headed towards him. He gasped as he closed his eyes and waited for it to hit...covering Paige for protection-----

"AH."

Glenn gasped for air as he sat up suddenly in his bed. His breathing was heavy, and he realized he'd been holding his breath in his sleep. He looked around at the familiar surroundings of his bedroom in his beautiful Los Angeles apartment. He looked at his shirtless, bare chest realizing that he was drenched in sweat and he ran his hand through his hair as a way to calm himself down. He turned to his right to see the time on the digital alarm clock.

4:30 am

He glanced to his left to find his beautiful, blonde wife, Jessica. He'd loved her ever since that day they met climbing the Matterhorn in Switzerland. He had sprained his ankle climbing the steep rocks and the crew he was with was forced to leave him behind if they wanted to continue before a storm hit. So they left him in a safe spot with supplies for him to catch up later.

But it was Jessica who insisted on staying with him. Who tended to his ankle all through the night. Who cared enough to think twice about leaving Glenn behind. She cared so much and he loved her for that. He vowed to for the rest of his life.

As the moonlight from the nearby balcony window shone brightly on her face, he just sat and stared and awed her amazing beauty for a few minutes. He leaned over and kissed her lightly on the cheek, also kissing her huge, bulging stomach that he and Jessica were just so proud of. Glenn felt his heart warm at the thought of being a father. He never thought he would, and the idea seemed ridiculous since he acted like a big kid sometimes. 'I guess I just grew up....' he thought to himself.

Which wasn't a bad thing.

Glenn pulled the sheets that covered him as he slept off him and walked over to the apartment balcony. He opened the doors and walked outside, looking at the amazing view he had of the Santa Monica pier and beach. It was still dark outside, since it was too early for the sun to rise. He inhaled the nice, fresh air of the beach and could smell the scents of different salts from the water. He loved going out to the pier with Jessica, just to walk around and to get some nice food. He'd even gotten their pictures painted by a cartoonist, since there were always all sorts of artists or businesses trying to sell on the pier.

A sudden pain in his head caused Glenn to lean on the railings of the balcony more and to grab his head to ease the sudden ache. Flashbacks of the dream replaced into his vision and he rubbed his forehead harder. The same dream had been coming to him for numerous nights, showing the same thing over and over. He was running from something evil but couldn't see what it was. He ends up in a room of endless dark until he hears Jessica screaming for help. Once he sees her, he goes over to her and comforts her as he sees her wounded and in danger of death.

Only...tonight was the first night Paige came into the picture.

'Why did I dream about Paige? What does she have to do with this nightmare? I mean....it can't be real. I love Jessica....not Paige. I can't love Paige....she's an old friend. I can't be thinking about this now....I'm married and going to be a father....what sort of example would I set if Jessica knew I was dreaming about another woman, one that she hated with everything she had.....'

A sudden grab to his waist surprised him but he was thankful to see that it was only Jessica cuddling into his shoulder. He smiled and embraced her, feeling the space taken up by her stomach and rubbed her back a little to make her feel comfortable.

"Hey...why are you awake? I thought you were sleeping...." he said, hugging her and looking onto the beach at the same time.

"I should ask you the same question. You've been doing this for days now....waking up in the middle of the night and coming up from bed to the balcony. What's been up Glenn? I mean....I love you and I want to know what's bothering you....." she said, with some sort of seriousness lingering in her voice. He turned to Jessica so that they were looking into each other's eyes. Glenn suddenly turned away, not knowing what to say.

'Oh, it's just a little nightmare including a force of evil magic chasing you and killing you while I'm let to watch you die.....yet you turn into my best friend who is literal your definition of hell and I end up kissing her....and right now I feel that I could still have feelings for her.....'

"It's nothing hon. I guess I never did get used to the sleeping hours here in California....and one morning I saw the sunrise and it was just....really cool. So I kept on waking up to watch the sunrise."

Jessica looked at him with beady eyes, partly knowing that it was a lie. "You came out here....for a sunrise. Four straight weeks....you've been waking up for a sunrise?" she said with sarcasm. Glenn smiled and nodded. Jessica's look suddenly turned into worry.

"Glenn......if it's something about me, then I'll understand. Please, I just want to know what's bothering you. You've been acting so different, and pretty...weird. Just tell me..."

Glenn stared back into her eyes and sensed her worry and fear about his dream irritation. He wanted to tell her everything. He yearned to explain ever little detail of his reoccurring dream so he could just get everything off his chest and stop hiding, but he knew that it wasn't possible. He could only talk about these kind of things with certain people, since Jessica hated and was petrified of all kinds of magic and got worried easily.

He could only talk to certain people like Paige.

He couldn't imagine how much he'd miss her since he'd last saw her. Sure he was married, and they were only friends now and he definitely believed that he loved Jessica....but he couldn't ignore how special Paige meant to him. She was the first one he told when he was getting married. He was the first one she told about her sisters and about her magical bloodline. She meant so much to him and missed her so, yet there was nothing he could do to keep in touch and he just had to ignore her since that he didn't want the love between him and Jessica to disappear and fade away and he believed that might happen if he kept close to Paige.

Paige was his first love for the longest time since high school and he couldn't ignore that.

"Hey Jess, I'm being honest here about this," Glenn said turning back to Jessica. "It's not you or anyone else that's bothering me. Nothing is bothering me at all. It's just that I love watching the sunrise and it keeps me up....but it definitely disappoints me a lot since the sunrise doesn't get any more beautiful as you...." he said, feeling crappy since it was all partially a lie.

Yet it seemed to work on Jessica. She smiled and cuddled back into Glenn's shoulder as Glenn embraced her into a tight hold and rocked her back and forth slowly. She closed her eyes and Glenn looked down at her and kissed her head lightly.

'I promise I won't let anything happen to you and the baby.' he thought.

'Or Paige.....'

---

Paige tossed and turned on her springy mattress, trying to find the least uncomfortable spot on her bed to try sleeping on but it was no use. Sleep just never seemed to fit into her schedule anymore. She lied on her bed flat on her back and stared at the ceiling as she sighed heavily.

"Here goes another tired day with no work, no outings, no friends and not even a mere date. Paige, my dear....you need a life." she mumbled to herself.

She shifted and glanced over to her side where the digital clock was and found that it was 7:30 am. Piper was probably up and Phoebe was probably still out with her new boy toy that she wouldn't shut up about. Things have been slow at the Halliwell household and being a full time witch wasn't as exciting as she thought it would be. It was only her second year in being a witch yet she had never been so bored and dull in her life.

'God, I'll watch TV.' she thought with utter bitterness, and grabbed the remote from the night stand by her desk and turned on her little Sony 15 inch TV. As soon as she turned her TV on it showed an early movie on HBO with a guy and a girl standing on what looked like a bridge and just stopped kissing each other.

"Jamie...I......love you."

(Pause)

"Now would be the time to say something?"

"I told you not to fall in love with me...."

(They kiss.)

Paige's eyes rolled. "Puhhleeeeeze.....the book was way better." she mumbled as she changed the channel to the next movie channel she had: Showtime. It was another early movie and it had a man and a woman standing on a huge elephant talking but about to break into song. 'Wasn't that guy on star wars...?' Paige thought as she watched a little.

"Love is a many splendid thing! Love lifts us up where we belong....all you need is love!"

"Please don't start that again...."

"All you need is love!!!"

"A girl has got to eat..."

"All you need is love!"

"She'll end up on the streets!"

"All you need is looooove!"

"Love is just a game...."

"I was meant for loving you baby, and you were meant for loving me!"

"The only way of loving me baby is to pay a lovely fee...."

Paige arched her eyebrows in confusion. "Yeah...prostitution is definitely a way of showing real love. I think I'll skip this channel...." she said, changing the channel again. The next channel indicated that it was the Disney Channel. A curly haired boy and a long haired blonde who looked as if they were set in early 90's high school by the way they dressed stood in a high school auditorium.

"Topanga, if I had to dream up a beautiful woman....she wouldn't even come close to you. Would you be my girlfriend?"

(Girl smiles and they kiss.)

"Okay..when does THAT ever happen in real life? And what are they 10???? Next channel." Paige yelled at the television set. She flipped the channel to her favorite music video channel: MTV2 that was in the middle of a video that had a boy band with a couple in wedding clothes and were about to get married.

"I do cherish you
For the rest of my life
You don't have to think twice
I will love you still
From the depths of my soul
It's beyond my control
I've waited so long to say this to you
If you're asking do I love you this much
I do."

Paige hit her bed in frustration and let out a small whimper. "God fine I won't watch TV! I give up!!!" she screamed as she viciously used the remote to turn the TV off. "The band should have broken up years ago anyway..." she muttered under her breath. She sighed and got out of bed to see who was up and in the kitchen early this morning.

As she walked into the kitchen, Paige yawned and stretched her arms a bit and found Piper cooking at the stove with one year old Wyatt sitting at a high chair near her, his blonde hair a bit messed up with chocolate and pancake bits smeared all over his face. Paige grinned at the sight of her nephew and ran to him and started giving him showers of kisses.

Wyatt laughed as Paige started to give him little tickles. "Hey Wyatt...how you doing buddy?" she exclaimed in an exceptionally loud voice trying to make him laugh. Wyatt giggled, waving his arms around as his aunt greeted him playfully. Piper turned around from her cooking and smiled as she saw Paige playing with Wyatt.

"Awake already? Paige....are you actually sleeping early? This is the first time that I have seen you up without big black bags over your eyes....and I'll give you 10 points for not showing up in lingerie!" Piper said sarcastically. Paige narrowed her eyes to Piper and gave her a look that basically said: 'Just shut up...'

"Har har, what are you, auditioning for Saturday Night Live? You don't have to be that harsh on me." Paige said, sarcastically, pulling up a chair to the island table in the middle of their kitchen and leaned on her elbow. Piper laughed.

"I'm sorry, Paige, I guess I'm just in a cheerful mood since Leo and I have been...well....."

"Returning to your sex life?" Paige finished, smirking.

Piper acted as if she were thinking for a bit and nodded her head. " I guess you can say that!!" she exclaimed in a perky sort of way. She went over to her son and dropped a chocolate chip pancake onto his plate. "Daddy's definitely getting fun again. Isn't that right sweetie? Isn't that right?" Piper said in a different voice to please Wyatt. Wyatt didn't respond and went to eat his pancake.

"I swear this kid has the best table manners at 14 months." Piper said as she turned off the stove and laid a big plate of pancakes onto the island.

Paige laughed and grabbed one with her hands and eating it right on the spot. Piper pretended to act disgusted. "So what's been up with you? You seem....cranky this morning."

Paige sighed. "Well....I think something's trying to scream out to me that I have no life. I mean the subject of love and dating just seems to always be creeping up into my mind in every way possible and then sitting around the house doing NOTHING makes me feel worthless since I don't have a job and my friends are long gone with lives of their own. It's really frustrating."

"Well Paige, you quit your job to be a full-time witch and apparently right now, witchcraft seems to be giving us a break. I mean....not ONE demon or innocent in....2 months. That has seriously got to be a record for us."

"Yeah, but then again it makes you suspicious...I mean maybe the world of evil is once again joining together to find someway to stop us. I mean....we're the charmed ones. Anything's possible since EVERYBODY wants to slice our heads off."

"You're too vile, and I told you I was in a good mood. Stop spoiling it." Piper pouted. Paige rolled her eyes and apologized.

"Well Paige, I don't understand why you're not dating...I mean you've met a bunch of new guys that were head over heels for you but then you just dumped them like that. What's up with that missy? I was especially disappointed when you dumped the band manager one.....he was LOADED." Piper said, once again bringing humor into their conversation.

"Eh, he wasn't my type. And yeah I don't really know WHAT'S wrong with me. It seems that every guy has some big flaw that's so noticeable to me. I keep comparing them to...."

"To....what?"

"To....um....Glenn."

"Glenn? I thought you were over him and accepted the fact that you're just friends since he got married to that 'blonde bimbette.'"

"It's weird...I thought I was over him, but then....I just can't stop thinking of how hurt I was when I found out his marital status. It...just sucks since I always thought he was the one for me, no matter which guys came along....I always had my mind set on Glenn." Paige said, her heart feeling light and hurt getting all her feelings about Glenn out. It was shocking to her when she realized how much she cared about Glenn.

Piper was about to open her mouth when she was interrupted by a sudden happy, perky voice.

"Did someone say date? Cause I just had the BEST one of MY LIFE!!!!" Phoebe exclaimed as she skipped into the kitchen. She eyed Wyatt and attacked him with her huge hugs and kisses and praises. Piper and Paige glanced at each other for a bit and smirked. Phoebe turned back to her sisters. "Did I mention I love my love life? Because it's just so GOOD to me. SO....GOOD."

"What happened with your new BOYFRIEND, Tucker?" Piper asked. Phoebe seemed to glow as Piper said her new love's name.

"Well....he's GREAT. I mean, I have never liked so much in my LIFE excluding my satan husband!! We have so much in common and we just have so much fun on our get togethers....it's like we knew each other for YEARS and...I think this could be big you guys!" she exclaimed. She turned to Paige and saw her tired, frustrated look and narrowed her eyes to her. "What's wrong Paige?"

"Oh....Paige is just feeling kind of lonely in her life with her new discoveries of boredom and all. Plus she's still crazy about Glenn." Piper explained, taking Wyatt into her arms and bouncing him on his knee. He laughed playfully as his hair bounced along with him. Paige gave Piper a dirty look.

"That's not what I said. I just said I couldn't stop thinking about him."

"Glenn? I thought you were over him?" Phoebe asked, very confused.

"I guess I'm not...well I guess I really just can't accept that he's married and.....yeah. It kind of sucks." Paige said, turning away to lean on her elbow again.

Phoebe came up to her and hugged her a bit. "It's okay Paige...you'll find someone else. I mean I'm sure you will. Look at me, I came back from the marriage of hell to the greatest relationship of my life! It works and it rules, I'll tell ya! All you have to do is give it time...." Phoebe explained. Paige felt a bit better and forced a smile to show up on her face. "Yeah I guess you're right."

Phoebe smiled and she went back to Piper to explain all the exciting details of her date. Paige sighed as she felt tired as she leaned on the table.

'I just hope I get over him soon....'
