A/N: Maybe this was a predictable twist, I dunno but I reckon it makes sense. I think.
She needed to get away for a while so Paige made a flimsy excuse about needing to talk to a witch she knew.
In truth she orbed over to P3 to see her little nephew.
He was in his play-pen up on the stage, Grams was smiling down on him fondly- it seemed she'd finally got over the whole 'Wyatt being a boy' thing.
'Hi.' Paige said weakly.
Grams looked up. 'I think I know why you're here.'
'You do?'
'I know everything.' Grams answered bluntly.
Paige blushed. Oh.'
'I had a feeling you'd want to see Wyatt.'
Paige moved up to the stage, stooping down to scoop up the little boy in her arms. 'I wonder how she is.'
'She's fine.' Grams smiled.
Paige shot her a curious glance. 'You watch her?'
'She is part of the family.' Grams replied.
'Has she got any powers?'
'They won't show themselves until she's reunited with her family.' Grams said gently. 'Like with you.'
'Will Andy find out about her?' Paige asked quietly.
'I don't know,' Grams answered. 'But perhaps now's the time to tell Piper and Phoebe the truth.'
'They'll want me to take her back,' Paige said bitterly. 'She's still in the orphanage, isn't she?'
'Each prospective parent said there was something strange about her,' Grams smiled. 'They were right.'
'So she kept the name I left her with?'
'Marie Matthews, yes.'
Paige planted a kiss on Wyatt's head before putting her nephew back down. 'Who else knows? Do the Elders?'
'Them?' Grams laughed. 'They haven't got a clue about anything!'
'I think I might go and...'
'Go see her, Paige, she needs you.'

Having decided it was better to drive rather than orbing in and risk being exposed, Paige arrived at Lynton Orphanage some twenty minutes later.
The bespectacled woman on reception looked up in interest as she came in, almost as if the orphanage didn't get any visitors. Paige instantly felt a pang of guilt for leaving her daughter in such a place.
'Can I help you?' the woman asked.
'I er... need to speak to someone about Marie Matthews.' Paige said shakily.
'And you are?'
Paige took a deep breath. 'Paige Matthews, her mother.'
