Sory this has been taking so long, but something is wrong with my document manager. Same with my other stories. So sory if you've been waiting.
Grams told them everything, about being witches, about being charmed, and about magic and their powers. When she was done they all just sat their gawking. Every family had it's secrets, but theirs was huge.
"I have a surprise for you girls." Grams said going upstairs.
"Should we go too?" Prue asked. They all shrugged still to stuned to speak. Just then Grams came down the stairs followed by their mother.
"Mom?" Prue asked standing up. Patty nodded. Prue got up and hugged her. Sure enough she was corporeal.
"It's really her" Prue said turning towards her sisters. A tear fell down her cheek. She remembered their other much more than her sisters. She was nine when she died.
"Mommy" Piper said getting up and joining in on the hug. Phoebe was a little shocked. She didn't get up right away neither did Paige. When she didn't know what to do she usually just followed what her sisters did. Phoebe slowly got up, and Paige followed. Phoebe went to hug her mom, but Paige held back. This was all to much for her. She ran upstairs. Her sisters were too busy with their mother to notice.
"How did you get here?" Piper asked hesitantly.
"Magic can do wonderful things, girls. If you use it correctly it will bring you a lot of joy." Patty said.
"Correctly?" Phoebe asked.
"I know it might be tempting, but no personal gain." Patty said.
"Then what's the point?" Prue asked.
"To save innocents." Grams chipped in.
"Take that muggers!" Piper said throwing her hands in the air.
"The demons, Piper" Patty said.
"We have to fight them?" Phoebe asked worriedly, and she thought PE was hard.
"Not just yet. You probably won't get your powers for a while." Patty said.
"So how long are you here for?" Piper asked.
"Only for a few days to help you start off. Usually I wouldn't be able to stay for more than a few hours, but since you are the charmed ones and all they decided to be nice" Patty said
"They?" Prue asked.
"The elders that I talked about, dear" Grams said.
"Oh" Prue nodded.
"Now, where's my baby?" Patty asked referring to Paige.
"She probably went upstairs, I'll get her" Prue said. She didn't want to leave her mother, but she knew she'd still be their when she came back.
"No, I should." Patty said pulling away from her oldest daughters too go get the youngest one.
"Can I come in?" Patty knocked on the door to Paige's room.
"Yeah" Paige said. Patty came in and sat next to her.
"Paige, I've been watching you from up their, and I know all this change is tough for you, but it is also really good." Patty said. It hurt her watching Paige cry and not being able to comfort her like a mom could, but now she had her chance.
"But I liked it how it used to be." Paige said.
"I promise, you'll like this too. Magic can be very rewarding." Patty said. Paige looked up at her mom and smiled. She didn't have many memories of her so she was trying to make some new ones. She hugged her mom, and held on for a while.
"I'm ready to go downstairs." she said letting go. Patty took her hand, and they went downstairs.
"Paige, you okay?" Prue asked when Paige came into the living room. Paige nodded, and smiled weakly.
"So girls, you have me for a bit. Anything you want me to do?" Patty asked. Grams smiled and went upstairs to enjoy some peace. patty didn't know what she was doing offering to do whatever the girls pleased.
"Let's go see a movie together." Piper suggested.
"Let's have a picnic in the park" Prue said.
"I don't think you should go out because if someone you knew saw you they would probobly wonder why you're alive" Paige said.
"Then how about we watch a movie here, and order a pizza." Phoebe said
"Chinese" Paige argued
"Both" Patty said. Paige and Phoebe smiled up at their mother. Prue made the call to order food, and Piper put in a movie. They all sat back and watched. Prue looked around. She had gotten her wish So what if she only had a mother for a few days, she still had one. For those few days she would be normal.
Piper snuggled closer to her mom. She liked the fealing of being close to her. She wondered what her life would be like if mom hadn't died. She felt sad about all the things in her life her mom had missed, but was glad she was here now, even if not for very long.
Phoebe leaned against Piper enjoying this family moment. If dad were here we would be totaly normal, and everything would be how it used to be, she thought. But for now she was enjoying her first gift before wanting more.
Paige leaned against her mom. Piper was on one side she was on the other. She liked it. She barely had any memories of her mom, but the few she had were coming up in her mind. She wanted to cry for everything she lost, but she also wanted to smile for everything she had just gotten. She was so confused, but in the end she knew the good stuff outweighed the bad.
