Innocent Eyes – In My Own Time
"You're what?" asked Paige looking the young girl up and down,
"Hey daughter… Parker," said Parker as she walked over to her new Aunts, "Are you Piper? Or Prue?" The three sisters looked at each other, how were they meant to tell this girl after she had just found her family that Prue had been dead for years?
"I'm Piper," said Piper and holding her hand out, Parker shook it and smiled,
"So that makes you…" she began
"Paige," Paige said and she also held out her hand,
"But wait… I was told that Phoebe Halliwell was living with Piper and Prue Halliwell," questioned Parker,
"Well yes," said Phoebe, "I was… but Prue passed away a while ago and this is Paige… our half sister and you're Aunt,"
"Oh… ok," said Parker as she walked back into the living room.
"I'll be right back… I'm going to help Piper make the tea," she signalled to Piper to follow her, "Paige will keep you company,"
When Phoebe and Piper had left Paige sat down next to Parker, there were a few moments of awkward silence before Paige spoke,
"I don't really know what to say," she said,
"Me neither really," replied Parker, "I didn't actually know what to say to Phoebe… because you know she's my mother and all but I don't know her or anything like that and was it stupid just turning up on her doorstep this morning…" she finished,
"No… not at all was it stupid. You wanted to know your mother… so did I," said Paige honestly,
"You never knew your mother either?" asked Parker,
"Nope." Said Paige and then realised that this was how she could connect with the girl and make her feel better, "You see, Our mother – your grandmother – had an affair whilst she was still married to Piper and Phoebe's father. And well I was the end product and well she felt that she had to give me up so she took me to a church and gave me to a nun there… that was the last time she ever saw me. And she only had one request for the nun give me a name beginning with a..."
"'P'" finished Parker, "That's what Phoebe told the adoption agency,
"Yeah, well my mother passes away before I could meet her. But I did meet my estranged father not too long ago… well actually now that I think about it; it was actually quite long ago. And we kept in touch but he also passed away a few years back," she finished, and looked up at Parker,
"So I guess we have a lot in common," said Parker, as she placed her hand in Paige's,
"Guess so,"
Just then Phoebe and Piper walked in, they were carrying a tray full of tea, and they say it down and then sat on the couch opposite Paige and Parker. Piper sat back with her cup of tea placed neatly in her hands and looked Parker up and down,
"So, Parker is it?" she asked, Phoebe shot a glare at her. Having grown up with Piper Phoebe could tell when she was being hostile to someone new to them.
"Yes, and you're Piper," said Parker she smiled sweetly at Piper then at Phoebe,
"So tell us how you found Phoebe," Said Paige,
"Well when I was adopted the adoption agency wouldn't allow my parents access to my file where the information about my real parents was kept. However they couldn't keep it from me after I turned sixteen, so as soon as I did I went over there and got the information. Then I got on the first plane to San Francisco and well here I am… there wasn't really a story there," she stopped quite abruptly when she saw the look on Piper's face,
"Parker, won't you're parents be worried where you are?" she asked, acting concerned,
"No, I told them that though I loved them dearly I had to know my real mother. And since they have always been straight with me about my adoption they understood… they are the ones who paid my plane ticket over here and gave me enough money to buy another one when and if I decide to go home," she finished her sentence very quickly then looked around at the sisters,
"What do you mean if?" Asked Piper glaring down at Phoebe,
"Well what they thought was that I could transfer schools and move to San Francisco to get to know Phoebe, if that's alright with you guys," said Parker sheepishly, her head hanging by her shoulders glumly,
"Well I don't know how long you can stay and I don't know about transferring schools… but you can stay the night." Said Phoebe smiling,
"Thanks… mom," said Parker, then she smiled awkwardly,
"That was a little weird," said Phoebe,
"Yeah tell me about it, I could call you Phoebe if you prefer,"
"I'll get used to it," she replied, "Come on you can either sleep on the couch or you could bunk on my floor and we could have a girly sleepover tonight?" suggested Phoebe,
"Can we have marshmallow's and hot chocolate?" asked Parker,
"I wouldn't have it any other way," smiled Phoebe,
"Can I join in?" asked Paige,
"Yeah," replied Parker,
"Ok well I have to get to work, but Parker you can hang here with Paige for the day… if she's not too busy," said Phoebe as she looked at Paige for approval,
"I think we can find something to do," replied Paige,
"You know… my parents give me $300 to buy new clothes, because I really need some… and I here the malls here are meant to be great," said Parker slyly,
"You read my mind, let me just grab a coat," said Paige as she and Parker left the room. Leaving Phoebe and Piper alone,
"Well, she seems nice," said Piper,
"Piper, please not now… I never thought I would have to deal with this and quite frankly I can't right now," said Phoebe as she headed for the manor door,
"Ok we'll talk later but you'll have to explain at some point!" yelled Piper after her, before leaving the manor herself to go to the club.
