Part 4

She lifted the bottle of beer to her lips and took a huge gulp, he was pushing her…with the comments and the glares. Paige had decided that she didn't need Rich kicking off doing the whole protective gig so she decided to keep her lid on but that meant more alcohol…

The group was laughing apart from Rich and Paige, Rich was pretty much in the worry stages of the night, and Paige was in the 'keep your head strait' part of the night. "So Pipe now you got us here, how about you tell us this news?" Paige broke out of her thoughts
Piper looked at her baby sister, "Sounds like a good idea – okay guys, I got some news and well…no we have go some news" She said taking Leo's hand, "Guy's Leo and I…we want you all to be the first to know that…we are getting married" She said with a huge smile.
"What…guys I thought you were going to say a cat or something" Phoebe smiled as she jumped up, "Congratulations guys" she said as she hugged Leo and Piper. Paige smiled, and once Phoebe had left Leo and Moved on to Piper – she walked over and through her arms around his neck – "Dude congratulations…I'm so happy for you right now"

Leo smiled and hugged her back, "Your sure Paige, I mean I want you to be okay with this…" He said
"I'm more than okay…it's really great" Paige was so happy for her sister and her brother. Rich walked over and as Leo put Paige down he took his hand, "Mate that's great news"
"Thanks man – appreciate it…" Leo smiled. Then Paige turned to Piper her big sister, she smiled then hugged her – "You deserve to be happy" She whispered, "Way to go…congratulations"
"Thanks honey…" Piper smiled, "Glad you came, and I wanted to tell you together"
"You set me up…" Paige reminded, "But it was worth it" she smiled – then she turned to them all. "I'll get the bottle of campaign in"
"My little sis is all grown up…" Prue said walking over to Piper and hugging her. The group were all caught up in the happiness that the didn't notice Jack follow Paige.

"Hey mark – grab us a bottle of bubbly and some glasses dude"
"Celebrating?" He asked
"Looks that way…I'll let Pipe break the news later" Paige said to Piper's best bar man.
"Oh that good?" He asked, "I won't be a minuet" He said Paige smiled, "Okay then thanks dude." She waited at the bar for Mark to return with the bottle. It was then she hared him…

"Long time no talk" He said, "You're not around the manor a lot anymore"
"Yeah you made sure of that dent yeah?" She spat back as she turned to face him,
"I got a problem" He said as he looked into her eyes –
"You do?" She said sarcastically "and let me guess it has something to do with me?"
"When doesn't it…I have a problem with you"
"And it'd be? Come on enlighten me?"
"It'd be that I don't like the way you're treating Prue…"
"Prue's my sister she has a problem she tells me herself" She spat back
"You see Paige, for some reason un-be-known to me she don't want to hurt your feelings"
"But you however have no problem doing that…" she asked
"You know I don't – listen, if you can be happy for Piper and Leo then you can be happy for Prue and me"
"Where do you get off trying to be my father? Huh? I'm not fifteen any more Jack and I'm not scared of you. You were never my father, and no matter how much you tried to hold power over me you held none"
"You know what maybe if your dad never ran of with that tramp secretary maybe he could have forced some respect into you" Jack growled lowly
"don't talk about my dad?"
"Why? Daddy chose a secretary over you…like Prue choose me over you"
Paige lent forward, "I told you not to talk about my dad – and you do know that if Andy never died in the line of fire – you'd be gone along time ago. He was ten times the man you will ever be."
"At least I've stayed around now my girlfriends pregnant and haven't left like your dad!"
"You do think you hold some power over me don't you"
"I did Paige – and you know it. I was there when you were fifteen – the closest thing to a dad you had"
"You were and still are just my sisters boyfriend – nothing more or less to me – you just like to play that role. And some how Prue doesn't see what you are really like but when she does…"
"What? You know she wouldn't leave…she's seen me hit you – she saw me standing over you with a knife. She's over there now carrying my kid and it's eating you up but guess what…you'll be happy for her or you deal with me"
"Is this where I say 'anything, please just don't hit me'?" Paige asked "Not gonna work" she informed him.

"You trying my patients"
"Oh please – where the hell did you learn that one?" Paige laughed, "Dude your trying too hard…"
"Maybe your boyfriend will teach you some respect"
"Maybe your girlfriend will see what loser you are and get out of this god damn relationship before you kill her…or worse marry her"
"I'd never…"
"Don't fucking sit there and tell me you'd never – I know you would because you have…to me and her. I don't know if she's scared of you or what but you mess up once I'll kill you"
"Is it my turn to be scared now?" He asked trying to sound confident
"I should be if I were you" Paige replied

It was then that he took hold of her arm tightly and pulled her close to him, "I'd watch your mouth if I were you"
"Let go of my ARM!" She growled into his face

"Paige?" She didn't need to look around to see who it was, it was mark, "Jack – is there a problem?"
"No problem" Jack said, "remember – Prue and me have been together for five years now, and we are as strong as ever. Nothing…is coming between us"
"Get off!" Paige re growled
"Got it…I said YOU GOT IT?" He shouted a little now
"If you don't back the fuck up away from me…"
"You'll what?" He asked

"Man…get away from her" Mark said, he then saw Rich coming over
"Hay Jack what the hell are you doing?" He asked as she walked over and pulled the two apart. They were looking into each others eyes nothing been spoken just the tension that could have been cut with a knife. "You okay?" Rich asked as he looked at Paige who Jack had let go of just before Rich had got close. Paige never answered just kept staring at Jack like she was going to kill him.

"See no manners – did your dad never teach you to answer someone when you're asked a question. I think you should sort your girl friend out man!" Jack said aiming the last part at Rich. "I think maybe you should leave my girlfriend alone before I kill you"
"What did your daddy run off with a secretary to…you not loved as a child? Seems that that's the cause of a lot of bad manners around this place"

Paige tightened her fists as she used all her strength to hold back – it was then jack smiled at her "No wonder mommy killed herself, knew just how little Paige was going to turn out…" he turned away laughing

Paige walked after him; Rich's best attempts to hold her back had no effect she was to wired, running on pure adrenalin. "Turn around…don't walk away!" Paige shouted. They were so close to the table that Phoebe, Piper, Leo and Prue all looked over. Jack continued to walk it was then that Paige got close enough, grabbed his arm and summoned enough strength to swing him around;

"I said don't walk away from me you mother fucker" she shouted, then pulling back her arm she then thrust it into his face sending him sailing back and landing on the table causing it, along with the glasses and bottles to collapse to the floor. She ran at him and none of them were fast enough to get her… all that could be hared were the screams from her sisters …

Phoebe screaming for Paige to stop, Prue screaming for Jack to stop and Piper screaming for a bouncer. Rich and Leo both were trying to pull them apart causing a full scale fight including all four of them.
