"I really don't know where to start," Paige told them.

"Why did you leave in the first place?" Piper softly asked.

FLASHBACK

The consensus had been to eliminate their powers, and start a fresh life as mortals. The only thing was that Paige didn't agree, and what really hurt her was the fact that her sisters didn't seem to care. Paige was so angry and hurt that when the Angel of Destiny had come to take her powers away, she didn't even look at her sisters. She stormed up to her room and started packing. She felt that the best decision for everybody was for her to move out of the manor, and into an apartment of her own. She would try and stay in contact with them, but she wasn't holding her breath.

Sleepiness fell on Paige rather quickly, she took a quick glance at the clock, and it was only quarter to nine. She slumped down on her bed, and quickly fell asleep. As Paige fell deeper and deeper into sleep, she kept replaying what her life would be like without her sisters, and it wasn't good. Maybe leaving her sisters was the wrong decision, they were adults after all; they should be able to work it out. It was around eleven when she woke up to the sounds of shrieks, but they seemed happy. She opened her door, and made her way up to the attic; that was where everything seemed to happen anyway. The door was slightly opened, so she decided to just peer in without being seen. The sight she saw not only confused her, but also made her upset. Piper and Phoebe surrounded what seemed to be another woman, but this wasn't just any person, no, this was their oldest sister...Prue. If all their powers had been taken away just that day, then how was it that Prue had been resurrected? Paige took a step back, and unfortunately she stepped on a creaky floorboard.

Piper and Phoebe were shocked when Paige just ran up the stairs. They knew she wasn't happy about it, but this seemed to be a bit dramatic. Piper and Phoebe had talked about it the night before, and they decided to ask the Angel of Destiny if they could bring Prue back. At first he was reluctant, but they quickly wore him down. They were to go to the attic just before midnight, and Prue would be waiting there. She would be living the life that was taken away from her. Everybody around her would just think that she had gone away for a while, the only people who would know the truth would be the Halliwell Sisters. Piper and Phoebe were reluctant to go to Paige about it; they thought it would be best if she found out the next morning.

Piper and Phoebe were so thrilled that they were getting their oldest sister back that they forgot all about Paige. They hadn't heard from her at all, except for when they were getting their powers taken away.

Piper and Phoebe made their way towards the attic a bit earlier than they were told to. They could barely contain their excitement at dinner, and thankfully Paige hadn't shown up, because knowing Phoebe she would have blabbed the whole thing out. They weren't absolutely certain on how Prue was coming to them, because they weren't able to summon anymore. Piper figured she would just appear, and that would be that. They guessed that the Angel of Destiny could understand their excitement because Prue arrived a little earlier than they were told. Bright white lights filled the attic where Piper and Phoebe were sitting. When the lights dissipated, Prue was left standing there in a beautiful white gown, with her longish hair flowing down her back. Tears of joy flowed down the sister's faces; they both ran across the room to embrace the sister who they longed to be held by.

"I missed you so much Prue," Paige heard Piper say.

Tears were evident in both sisters voices, and it hurt Paige to know that there was so much history between her other sisters. Paige grew up as an only child, and when she finally was reconnected with Piper and Phoebe, she kind of forgot that they did have a life before her. Paige was reconsidering about leaving before she came up to the attic. When she saw her other sisters hugging each other, she realized how happy they were being together, and this wasn't including her. She was about to turn around when her left heel hit a creak in the floorboard, causing all the attention to turn to her.

"What was that?" Phoebe asked worried

"Oh my God Paige!" Piper said in a hushed voice.

"Paige is that you out there?" Phoebe asked cautiously

Paige was kicking her self for making the noise, she didn't know what she should say, or maybe she should just run for it. No, she needed to at least say goodbye. As Paige walked into the attic, she plastered a fake smile on her face.

"Um yeah, it's me. I was going to the washroom when I heard voices, what's going on?" Paige asked.

Piper and Phoebe looked at her guiltily.

"We sort of made the Angel of Destiny bring Prue back," Piper explained.

"Oh, well...hello Prue," Paige swallowed.

"Hi Paige, it's nice to finally meet you!" Prue moved in for a hug.

Paige cleared her throat, and gave Prue a quick hug.

"Well, I'm going to go back to bed. Good-night" Paige backed out of the attic, and made a run for her bedroom.

She started to pack her things in the couple of suitcases that were stored in her closest. She started throwing clothing, toiletries, and anything else she could think of into the bags. By the time she had everything organized, it was just past three, and she figured everybody would either still be talking in the attic, or they would be asleep. She took one last look at her barely empty room, and turned out the light. It looked like everybody was still in the attic, so she made a bee-line towards the front door. She packed everything in her car, and started driving east.

"So that's how it happened? I feel horrible," Phoebe told an obvious upset Paige.

"Ya Paige, you should of said something," Piper said.

Prue just sat there staring at Paige. Tears started streaming down her face, and she moved towards Paige and enveloped her in a hug. They hadn't even gotten to the abuse part of it, and it was already hard to deal with.

"Paige, I could never take your place in this family. I want you to know that I love you, and I want you to be apart of this family again," Prue told her.

Paige gave a slight smile, and nodded. "I want that too."

"Anyways, I want to finish this story," Paige hurried, "I'm going to jump to when Alex started to become verbally abusive towards me, which is a few months after we were married."

FLASHBACK

It was really early in the morning when Paige felt something tugging at her leg. She rubbed her eyes groggily, and looked at the end of the bed.

"Alex?" Paige asked.

"Yeah, I'm hungry, go make me a snack," Alex demanded.

Paige looked over at the clock and groaned, "Alex, it's six in the morning, we don't have to be up till at least eight."

"I don't care, with your fucking tossing all night, I couldn't sleep. I'm up now, and I'm hungry, so I'll say it again, go make me something to eat," Alex raised his voice.

"Make it yourself," Paige half-joked.

"What did you say to me bitch?" Alex demanded.

"Alex what is your problem?" Paige asked annoyed.

"Don't you ever talk back to me again, or you'll be sorry," Alex screamed.

Paige was getting scared, so she did what she was told and headed towards their kitchen.

1 year later.

"Paige? Is that you?" Alex asked.

Paige had just gone out with some friends from work and she lost track of time. She tried to call home, but the phone line was busy.

"Yeah, it's me, sorry I'm late," Paige said.

"Where the hell have you been?" Alex demanded.

"Look Alex, I don't have to tell you everything, but for your information, I was just out with some friends, which I don't need your permission to do," Paige yelled.

Alex's face turned red as he turned his heels to face Paige, "Listen bitch, from now on, you will be telling where you are going, who you are with, and you will be home before five each night."

Alex moved towards Paige, and pushed her on to the couch, glaring at her. Paige tried to get up, but Alex held her down.

"Listen babe, I hate to do this to you, but I don't want to lose you," Alex said softly, while kissing her collarbone.

Paige just sat there wondering what she should do. She knew that Alex really did love her, and he just wanted to protect her. After some thinking, she gave into Alex and let him carry her towards the bedroom.

"I don't want to go any further than that," Paige half laughed, half cried.

"We understand, but what about after when Ella was born? Did he start hurting you again?" Piper asked.

"Yes and no. He was really good around Ella, but he would have his moments, where he would just go nuts on me," Paige explained, "There wasn't any really big events that set him off after that, the day that this baby was conceived, he was just like the sweetie that I thought I married."

"Ya but Paige, you have to have known that what he was doing wasn't right," Phoebe stated.

"No I loved him, and I just couldn't let go," Paige shrugged, "I now know that it was wrong for me to have stayed with him that long, but part of me still loves him. He's the father of my babies, and he could be so sweet sometimes."

"Honey, you have got to get that he was a good guy out of your head. He was an abusive bastard, and now you are free to live your life," Prue said as she stroked Paige's hair.

Paige swallowed, "I know, I think I need to go to sleep now. I need to rest my head; I'll tell you the rest tomorrow."

"Ok sweetie, have a good sleep," Phoebe called up to her as she headed towards the stairs.

Once Paige was all the way up the stairs, Piper looked at her other sister's, and let out a huge breath. "Oh boy, we have a lot of stuff to deal with,"

After a few minutes of just sitting in silence, Phoebe declared that she was going up to bed; Piper and Prue followed shortly. A night of sleep may make all the difference.

Paige woke up from a peaceful night of sleep for once in her life. She looked beside her, and realized that Ella wasn't beside her. She started to panic, because she knew that she had moved her there before she went to bed last night. Paige quickly threw on her robe and ran down the stairs in a panic. When she made it to the kitchen, she let out a breath of relief; Ella was sitting with the other kids at the kitchen table, while her sisters were making breakfast.

"Morning sleepy head," Piper smiled.

"What are you guys doing, you scared the crap out of me when Ella wasn't beside me when I woke up," Paige laughed.

"Sorry sweetie, but when we looked into your room, she was awake, so we got her dressed and brought her down with the rest of the kids," Prue explained.

Ella was sitting in between Emma and Noah; she had her hair in a cute pony tail, and was wearing a pink sweatshirt with the word 'cutie' scrawled across it and a pair of blue jeans.

"I guess we've never done the formal introduction thing with the kids...huh?" Piper asked.

"Ooooo...let me start," Phoebe pleaded.

"Okay, this is Noah Dominique Halliwell, and this is Julian Caleb Halliwell. They're two years old, oh and they're identical," Phoebe said with a smile.

"They're so cute Phoebes, and they look like you too," Paige said.

"Ok, me next," Prue said excitedly, "I only have one, but this is my Emma. She's three."

"And lastly, my little angel boys, and my baby girl" Piper laughed at Wyatt's face, "You may remember Wyatt, and this is his little brother, Chris, and the little one in the bassinet in Madison or "Maddy" as we call her. Wyatt's now six, Chris is four, and Maddy's almost a month."

"Mommy, I'm four and a half!" Chris said exasperated.

The adults laughed.

"How bout you Paige? We know you have one on the way, but tell us more about Ella," Phoebe asked.

"Well Ella's my little princess. She's around the same age as your kids Phoebe, and she's been a complete angel about this whole move," Paige said grinning. Just as she was about to say something about the new baby, her cell phone rang.

"Just a sec, it could be one of my friends," Paige said.

She went into the living room and sat down on the couch.

"Hello?" Paige asked.

"Where the hell are you? I want you and Ella home now!" the voice demanded.

"Alex?" Paige said quietly.

"Damn straight, now where the fuck are you?" Alex demanded.

Words couldn't form in her mouth, so she just sat there.

"Fine don't tell me, but I'll tell you this, I will find you!" Alex yelled before he slammed down the phone.

Paige broke down in tears, wondering if she really did do the right thing. Her sister's quickly rushed into the room when they heard crying. Paige told them everything.

"We'll figure this out Paige, don't worry," Prue comforted.

As words of comfort were being whispered to Paige, a little girl wandered into the room.

"Hey Ella, come here Princess," Paige said.

"Mommy?" Ella whispered.

"Mhm," Paige replied.

"I wove you," Ella said.

Paige smiled, and gave her a hug. Tears sprung to her eyes, but she refused to let them fall in front of her. "I love you too Princess,"

Okay, bitter sweet ending to that chapter. Well I thought that that one was crap, but let me know what you think. Review, Review, Review!!!
