A/N: Now, what would be the worst thing to happen right now? Oh, I wouldn't do that, would I? Hmm, would I?
'It's a wizard.'
'Nice to see you too, Chris,' Paige grumbled after his orb into the attic.
'The word down there is that some high power has got a wizard working for him,' Chris ignored her comment. 'I don't know how, I thought they were all extinct.'
Paige was glad Maddy was still downstairs, she didn't do humble pie very easily. 'What high power?'
'Don't know, the other demons don't seem to know.'
'Okay, we need to get Piper and Phoebe back here.'
'I'm on it.'
As he orbed off again Paige looked over to where Wyatt was shooting mini-orbs at his brother. If this was as bad as it sounded- massive high power and all- those two might need some protecting. Leo and Chris might be needed and Maddy... Well, it could all get a little hairy and she didn't have any powers so best not to put her in a position she couldn't handle.
With a sigh she looked to the book, turning the pages until she found what she was looking for. Quickly, she collected the things she'd need for the spell- white candles, sage stick, incense.
'Hear my words, hear my cry,
Spirit from the other side,
Come to me, I summon thee,
Cross now the great divide.'
Admittedly, Maddy was taking her time in the kitchen.
Lately, Paige had just been different. Snappy when she should have been grateful, harsh when she should have been kind. And the sad fact was that Maddy didn't have a clue why.
Insecurities maybe? All that Prue trouble popping up again? But that had been dormant for months, they'd been in a good steady rut, a nice homely rut that felt natural. In truth, she sort of believed she'd only met Prue in order to meet Paige, didn't the sisters say everything happened for a reason? That's how she felt.
Knowing that taking this long to get a bottle wasn't believable, she picked it up and turned to the door.
'Prue?!'
The dark haired spirit in front of her nodded. 'Paige, nice to meet you. I mean, I know you, I have been watching over you for like three years.'
'W-wha..?'
'Am I doing here?' Prue supplied helpfully. 'Apparently I have a purpose, everything happens for a reason.'
She couldn't help but smile at the mantra Piper and Phoebe had been belting out as long as she'd known them. 'Yeah, guess it does.'
'And,' Prue grinned moving over to the play-pen. 'I really wanna meet my nephews.'
'Go for it,' Paige offered following her over.
Carefully Prue picked up little Chris. 'He's got Leo's nose.'
'Ah, don't worry about it. He grows up more like Piper.'
'Just because I can watch over them doesn't mean I always get everything. How are they?'
'You're asking me?'
'You're their sister.'
'Well, Phoebe's split up with Jason, she's taken it badly. Piper, I think her and Leo are back on track, these two are helping.'
Prue kneeled, stroking Wyatt's head gently. 'I wish I'd seen them being born.'
'Was amazing.'
'I've missed so much.'
'Are you jealous of me?'
'Hell, yeah! You've got everything I thought I'd have. You killed all the demons I wanted to, you got rid of Cole.' The voice seemed slightly bitter. 'Anyway, I don't know much about you.'
Uh-oh. 'You don't?'
'It's difficult to up there, it's complicated.'
'Oh, right.'
'You married? Engaged? Involved?'
'Yeah, involved, I supposed,' she shrugged then the intricacies of the situation suddenly struck her.
'What's his name?'
Footsteps echoed on the stairs. 'Paige, sweetie, I got the bottle.'
Paige closed her eyes as Maddy bounded in and caught sight of Prue holding Chris. Great.
