A/N: Hey, I know it's been a while. Holiday and all that, meant to out something up before I went but I ran out of time, very sorry. And sorry about the cliffhanger... may as well add a sorry for breathing here too.
Maddy watched in horror as Paige leapt in front of her taking the beam of light directly into her body. Piper flicked her hands and froze the demon leaving the sisters, Chris and Maddy unfrozen.
'Paige!' Phoebe screamed as she ran over falling next to her unconscious sister at the same time as Madeline. 'You keep away from her.'
Maddy ignored the comment and checked Paige's pulse. 'She's still breathing.'
Phoebe looked to Piper. 'We have to call Leo.'
'We can't.'
'We have to!' Phoebe insisted. 'She'll die!'
Piper bit her lip. 'Leo!'
The Elder appeared and, seeing the lifeless body, crouched down straight away, he didn't even look at his ex-wife, he just rested his healing hands on Paige.
Paige felt her body slowly warm and her eyes fluttered open. 'Maddy?'
'I'm here,' she answered and Paige became aware of the hand on her forehead. She managed to focus her eyes and saw Leo in full Elder-gear crouching above her with Maddy and Phoebe next to him.
'Are you okay?' Leo asked gently.
'The demons...' Paige whispered.
'Oh, yeah,' Phoebe said. 'Piper, come here.'
Piper stepped hesitantly forward, Leo stood and spotted her... bump and all. 'Piper?!'
'Not now, Leo,' Piper grimaced helping Maddy pull Paige to her feet.
'But you're pregnant!'
'Leo!' Phoebe shouted. 'Shut up a minute.'
Phoebe held a small slip of paper in front of Paige's eyes and she struggled to focus on it. 'I...'
'Come on, Paige,' Piper insisted.
'Loveless Demons we vanquish thee, take your hate, so let it be,' Paige said with her sisters and the demons exploded into a thousand pieces.
Paige pulled away from Piper and threw herself into Maddy's arms. 'I love you.'
'Will someone please tell me what's going on?' Leo implored.
'Let's go home,' Piper sighed. 'Paige, are you alright to orb?'
'Yeah,' Paige answered taking hold of the picnic basket and Madeline tightly.
When the group materialised in the living room at the manor, everyone was silent, no one really knew what to say.
Leo was obviously struggling with Piper's pregnancy shock while Chris was standing next to his mother nervously. Maddy seemed to be trying to break Paige's fingers while Phoebe continued to stare at her.
'Is it mine?' Leo asked finally.
'What?!' Chris said incredulously.
'Is it his?!' Leo questioned his ex-wife.
'No!' Chris and Piper said with simultaneous disgust.
'Then what?'
'It's yours, alright?' Piper said.
'Why didn't you tell me? I've got a right to know.'
Chris snorted. 'You haven't got a right to anything.'
Leo turned on him angrily. 'This has nothing to do with you.'
'It has actually,' Chris replied. 'More than you'd think.'
'What?'
Piper grimaced. 'Leo, meet your son Chris.'
Paige suddenly knew she was intruding. 'Come on,' she whispered to Maddy and led her up the stair into the bedroom.
Once there Paige slumped down onto the bed pulling Maddy down next to her. 'I didn't have that one in my day planner.'
'I know,' Maddy sighed. 'That wasn't a good way for them to find out, or for Leo to find out about Chris.'
'At least it take the heat off us,' Paige commented.
'No such luck,' Phoebe said from the doorway.
'Phoebe, hi,' Paige said. 'You remember Madeline?'
'How could I forget?'
'I do love her,' Paige said glancing at her girlfriend. 'I'm sorry if you can't deal with that.'
'I might have been able to deal with it if you'd told me from the start,' she pointed out.
'Oh, come on, Phoebe!' Paige snorted. 'You know as well as I do that Piper would've killed her.'
'So it was better to lie to us?' she asked.
'Yes!' Paige answered. 'You don't believe her, I do. Not just that, she means everything to me.'
Phoebe turned to Madeline. 'Why are you doing this?'
'I'm not working my way through the family, Phoebe, you've no need to worry.'
'What I'm worried about is my sister getting involved with a liar,' Phoebe spat.
'Are you sure it's not because she's dating a woman?' Maddy questioned sharply.
'No!' Phoebe answered instantly. 'She could be dating a demon and I wouldn't mind if I knew she was alright.'
'I think,' Paige said slowly. 'It's time you heard the truth about Prue.'
