A/N: Reviews are my best friend... actually they're my only friends so keep 'em coming so I don't get too lonely.

Since Grams was no longer needed as the immediate Underworld threat was over, the dead Halliwell had said her goodbyes and left Paige and Piper watching their youngsters play.

'I'd better get Marie back to the home.' Paige said softly.

'It won't be for long.' Piper assured her. 'See you at home?'

'Yeah.'

Carol Walsh looked very relieved when Paige walked into the orphanage with Marie at her side.

'You found her!'

'Yeah,' Paige said. 'Sorry it took so long.'

'I better ring the police, they're out looking for her.' Carol said before adding; 'You can see her to bed if you want.'

Paige found herself being dragged up the stairs by someone who was less than a third of her size but she also found she liked it.

Each child seemed to have a small box-type room to themselves, Marie's was painted lilac and just had a bed and dresser in it.

'Do you like purple?' Paige asked.

'It's my favourite.' Marie answered sitting down on the bed.

Paige kneeled down in front of her. 'Then that's what I'll paint your room.'

'Can I really come live with you?'

'I hope so, sweetie,' Paige smiled weakly. 'I really hope so.'

'Where do you live?' asked Marie.

Paige explained as she helped her daughter change into her nightclothes; 'I live with my sisters, Piper and Phoebe, Piper's son is Wyatt, the boy you were playing with.'

'I like him, he's cute.'

'Good.' Paige replied unsure of how much to tell her about her family- as in the fact they were witches. 'Er... how did you know I was your mom?'

'I dreamed it.' Marie answered bluntly.

Prophetic dreams? They were common enough but not in children. 'When?'

'Ages ago, I didn't know when you'd come.'

'I'm sorry,' Paige sighed. 'But how did you know it wasn't just a dream?'

Marie slipped into the bed. 'I just believed it.'

Paige stopped herself from asking any more questions realising the little girl was probably a bit scared. 'I've gotta go, honey.'

'Are you going in white lights again?'

'Erm, yeah,' Paige grimaced. 'Can you not tell that to anyone?'

'Will you come see me tomorrow?'

Paige planted a kiss on Marie's forehead. 'You try and stop me.'

'Night.' Marie smiled.

'Night, sweetie.'

Paige orbed into her room at the manor. She knew she really should go down and talk to sisters but she needed a moment to gather herself, so much had happened.

But still... she needed to explain everything to them, especially Phoebe, before Andy spread more poison.

She made her way quietly down the stairs, stopping when she heard raised voices coming from the conservatory. Quickly she made her way to the doorway, carefully keeping out of sight.

'I don't care what she went though, Piper,' Phoebe shouted. 'We're her sisters, she should have told us.'

'Phoebe's right,' Andy put in unhelpfully. 'If she hasn't told you about the kid, what else is she hiding?'

'The kid has a name!' Piper told the ex-cop in exasperation.

'You have to talk to Paige.' Leo's calming voice instructed.

'Leo's right.' Chris put in.

Paige took a breath and rounded the corner. 'Talking about me were you?'
