Charmed At Last
Chapter 10: Two Reasons To Celebrate
Glenn gave Paige a suspicious look. "Missy....what is it?" Glenn asked, as he stared into Paige's deep brown eyes.
Paige turned her head slightly, to avoid Glenn's eyes. "Well, I was wondering what you thought about....kids?" Paige asked, slowly turning back to him, with a hopeful glance.
Glenn considered the question for a moment and then smiled. "Well babe, I figure after we're married and all, we have have a few magical lil' beings." Glenn answered.
Paige's face immedietly fell. "Oh..." Paige's voice trailed off.
Glenn reached up and grabbed Paige's face, turning her to face him, directly. "What is it? I've known you long enough to know somethin' is up. Then talk about kids..." Glenn said, as he looked at Paige.
Paige gave Glenn a sly smile. "Nothin'. Just....I'mpregnant!" Paige said, making sure that the last part of her sentence blended together. Then she kissed Glenn, before he could have a chance to respond. As Paige pulled away from the kiss, stood up, then she grabbed Glenn's arm. "Now, let's go to P3 and I want you to meet my oldest sister, who I just met!" Paige said, in a cheerful tone. Orbs started to surround Paige and Glenn.
Glenn quickly grabbed Paige and yanked her back down to the couch, stopping her from orbing. "What the hell, Paige! You can't just tell me that you're pregnant and then want to orb us off! How'd this happen?" Glenn asked.
"Well, I'm guessing the way that anyone gets pregnant. Magical or mortal." Paige answered.
"You know that isn't what I meant!" Glenn said, in an annoyed tone. Glenn took a deep breath. "Are you sure?" Glenn asked, lowering his tone.
"Yes, very sure. Watch this...." Paige said, as she held up her hand. A glowing white ball of light appeared in her hand and then she pulled a penny from her pocket. Paige tossed the penny into the air and then threw the glowing ball of light at the penny. As the penny hit the ball of light, the penny exploded into nothingness. "That is our baby's power. Or one of them...I'm not sure how many she or he will have. It's a mix of Piper's exploding power and a whitelighter's harmless white light balls." Paige explained.
Glenn stared in awe. "Really, it is that powerful and not even born? Didn't Piper say it took her a while to develope her exploding power?" Glenn asked.
Paige nodded. "Yeah, a long while." Paige answered.
Glenn shook his head. "Paige....I don't know what to say...How long have you known?" Glenn asked.
"Well, only about five weeks..." Paige said, as she stared at the floor.
"And how far along are you?" Glenn asked.
"Umm, about, three months and one week." Paige whispered. Paige could feel the tears begin to form in her eyes. 'Damnit Paige! You've gone and done it again. You always do something wrong! He isn't happy and never wanted this!' Paige mentally screamed at herself.
Glenn could tell Paige was mentally struggling with this. He'd known her long enough to tell. Glenn gently placed his hand on Paige's shoulder. "What's that saying that goes around your family? 'Everything happens for a reason.' Obviously, there is a reason for this." Glenn said. Glenn smiled. "Honestly, I wouldn't have purposly had this happen, this early, but I'm happy we'll be having a baby! Paige, I love you and I already love our child!" Glenn said, as he gently kissed Paige.
Paige smiled, brightly. "So..so you're okay with this?" Paige asked, in a hopeful tone. She could feel tears of joy, spilling down her face.
Glenn nodded, slowly. "Of course! I guess...we have about five months and three weeks to prepare." Glenn said, as he hugged Paige tightly. "I love you so much...." Glenn whispered, into Paige's ear.
Paige buried her face in Glenn's shoulder, smelling his cologne. "I love you so much more..." Paige whispered back.
Glenn smiled. "Yeah, but I love you the mostest!" Glenn whispered, as he ended their, I Love You, game. They had started that when they were in high school and it stuck with them.
"So, what now?" Paige asked, as she pulled free of the hug.
"Well, what about my meeting that new sister you were telling me about?" Glenn asked.
Paige nodded. "Yeah, Prue. She is my, Phoebe, and Piper's oldest sister." Paige said.
"I thought she died?" Glenn said, with a puzzled look.
"We all thought she did, but she didn't. We were made to think she did, so that when we really needed her, she'd come back. My being pregnant, was the thing that led to her coming back." Paige said.
"Is she still a Charmed One?" Glenn asked.
"We all are. It only takes three of us, out of four, to make up the Power of Three. The Power of Four is much stronger." Paige explained.
"Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go meet her!" Glenn urged.
Paige smiled and wrapped her arms around Glenn. "Ready, let's go!" Paige said, as the two disappeared, in a swirl of blue and white orbs.
There was a clink of glasses and then Phoebe grinned and took a gulp of champaign. "Prue! I'm soooo happy to have you back! Where've you been for the last year?" Phoebe asked.
"Oh..here, there, and everywhere. Off the demonic radar but I still had my powers. For a while, I got to live a 'normal' life. But I was glad to give it up, so I could come back to you, Piper, Leo, and finally Paige." Prue said, as she took another sip from her glass. Prue looked over at the hallway. "Oh look, speak of the devil...angel....witch...Whatever..." Prue mumbled, as she rolled her eyes. "This is gonna be a lil' confusing." Prue said, then laughed. Prue waved her hand. "Paige! Over here!" Prue called.
Paige looked straight forward, hearing Prue's call. "Over there. That's her!" Paige said, as she grabbed Glenn's arm, and quickened her steps. Paige was at Prue's side in 10 second flat. "Prue, this is my boyfriend and father of my baby, Glenn Belland. We were high school sweethearts. Glenn, this is Prue, my oldest sister that I never knew and thought was dead." Paige introduced.
Prue laughed and held out her hand. "Nice to meet you, Glenn." Prue greeted.
Glenn shook Prue's hand. "Likewise." Glenn responded.
Prue squinted her eyes and two bar stools quickly slid across the floor, P3 was so loud and busy, nobody noticed. "Take a seat." Prue said, as she pointed to the bar stools.
Paige happily plopped down on the bar stool. "Isn't her power the best?" Paige asked.
Glenn rolled his eyes and sat down. "Hey, I'm sure any power is fun." Glenn responded.
Phoebe gave a curious look to Paige. "Hey, Paige, there has been somethin' bugging me. I need to ask you something." Phoebe said.
Paige nodded. "Go on...." Paige said, as she waited for Phoebe's question.
Phoebe turned her head, slightly, to the side. "Paige, how did you know where to find Glenn?" Phoebe asked.
Paige shook her head. "I...I didn't. Suddenly I felt myself sense him and orb out." Paige said.
"You mean, you didn't try to sense him?" Piper asked.
"Nope." Paige replied.
"Maybe the baby has orbing and sensing too?" Piper suggested.
"But Paige said she, 'felt herself sense him'." Prue pointed out.
"Well, maybe if..Paige can tap into the baby's powers....the baby can tap into her powers?" Phoebe suggested.
"Yeah, if she heard us saying that Glenn, her daddy, was in trouble she may have tapped into Paige's powers to find him!" Prue said.
Glenn looked confused. "Why are you calling it a her?" Glenn asked.
Prue rolled her sparkling blue eyes. "It's a loooong story. But, you'll find out soon enough. Just trust me." Prue said, with a sly grin.
Phoebe took another gulp from her glass and then as she started to take the glass from her face, she noticed a familiar face, from behind the glass. Phoebe gasped.
"Pheebs? What's wrong?" Prue asked, noticing Phoebe's sudden discomfert.
"Nothing....Just drank a little too much at one time, I'll be right back...." Phoebe said, as she hopped off her seat and ran towards the hallway. As she turned to corner where nobody could see her, she bumped into someone, and looked up. "It is you! Oh my God...." Phoebe's voice was suddenly cut off. TO BE CONTINUED....
