Hey everyone I'm back and as promised am updating. Enjoy!
"So, you are able to control lightning? That is your power Andy?" Prue asked as she sat with Andy on the porch.
"Not only lightning dear Prue, I can control weather in general," Andy replied with a smile.
"That is a very special and powerful gift," Prue said.
"Yes, but it can also be a burden," Andy sighed.
"How do you mean?" Prue questioned.
"Well, if I am not careful my emotions can affect the weather too," Andy explained.
"Example?"
"If I get too angry there could be a tornado or gigantic thunderstorm and if I get very upset it could rain," he answered.
"Oh, I see now," Prue smiled.
"Who told you I could control the weather?" Andy requested.
"No one told me I saw it," Prue replied.
"But you were unconscious, weren't you?" Andy was now obviously very confused.
"I was."
"Then how could you see...?"
Prue interrupted him.
"A family spell."
"I'm still utterly bewildered Prue," Andy confessed.
"Whenever one of us falls unconscious we think three words and we can hear and see all that is happening around us, do you understand now?" Prue told him.
Andy gave a nod.
"I think I understand," Andy said.
Prue sighed.
Andy suddenly chuckled.
Prue looked across at him.
"What is it?" she asked.
"I was remembering the first time I saw you," Andy replied.
Prue grinned.
"I was washing our clothing."
"You were so afraid of me," Andy grinned.
"I was afraid I would get into such terrible trouble for watching two lords and listening to their conversation," Prue corrected.
"You were listening to what we were saying?" he asked.
"About your perfect women? Oh, yes every word," she said with a cheeky smirk. "When Lord Leonard mentioned the image of his perfect woman I remember thinking that is Piper exactly."
"When I looked up and saw you I remember thinking, my perfect girl is real and running from me," Andy laughed.
"Andy?"
"Yes?"
"You told me if your emotions are too strong the weather shows them, right?"
"Yes."
"What are you feeling now," Prue requested watching him carefully.
"Look for yourself," he pointed to the sky.
Prue did so.
All of the clouds disappeared to reveal a full moon and bright stars.
"It's beautiful," Prue grinned.
Andy looked across at her.
(Author's Note: OK I know this is corny and everyone says it but please deal with it because it adds to the romance of the situation. Thank you)
"So are you," he told her.
She looked at him and they shared their first kiss.
Paige pushed another carrot stick into her mouth nervously as she sat in one corner of the living room sofa, Chris watching her from the other end.
"Christopher?" Paige addressed him softly.
"So, we're back down to Christopher now, are we?" Chris sighed.
At Paige's uncomfortable nod he added.
"What is it Paige?"
"Arh, I believe I owe you a thank you," Paige mumbled.
"I believe you already did that Paige," Chris smirked giving her a bedazzling smile.
Paige flushed bright crimson.
"I'm sorry about that, but I was almost killed so I was awfully tired," she explained quickly looking at her hands.
"I understand," Chris said the smile still playing upon his lips.
"Well, thank you for saving my life all the same," Paige insisted. "Again."
"Yes, this is the second time is it not?" Chris requested.
"Yes," Paige grumbled.
"Yes," Chris said in a smug tone.
"That is no reason for you to be so arrogant, Lord Perry," she hissed.
"I'm sorry if I sound conceited to you, Miss Halliwell but I do not mean to sound so I assure you of that," he said sounding extremely offended, turning away from her.
Paige looked up at him.
As much as he scared her, he was still cute and had still saved her life twice.
"I am sorry Lord Perry, I'm just a little shaken by the fact that those demons keep resurfacing," she apologised, moving closer to him.
He looked at her and sighed.
"Now even further back to Lord Perry? ...that's quite all right Paige."
After a long silence Chris cleared his throat.
"So, where is your mother and Grandmother?" he asked.
"Visiting my father... I mean, my stepfather," Paige told him.
"Your stepfather?" Chris asked.
"Victor Halliwell isn't my real father as I've told you but he's as good as, he hasn't been the best father to my sisters but whenever he visits he's great. He accepted me as a Halliwell and as a foster daughter. Anyway, as much as they despise doing it my mother and Grams go and visit him every second month to tell him about our lives," Paige explained.
"Oh, I see," Chris said.
Paige nodded.
"Oh, Paige, I have something for you," Chris called.
"You do?" Paige inquired almost curiously.
"Yes," and he pulled a book out of his pocket. "This," he handed it to her.
"My book!" Paige exclaimed, taking the book in her hands.
"I thought you would want it back," Chris smiled.
"Oh, yes of course," Paige beamed.
"I thought maybe you had thought that I had stolen it or something," Chris grinned.
"Actually Lord Perry, I had thought that," Paige said in an apologetic tone.
"I'm sorry."
"Why did it take you so long to return it to me?" Paige questioned.
"I... well, I believe I had thought that as long as I had your book in my possession I would have an excuse to keep seeing you," Chris said shyly.
Paige flushed.
"I'm flattered," she smiled. "You probably think it is childish of me to enjoying reading fairytales."
Chris chuckled.
"Not at all."
"You don't?"
"No, I find it quite intriguing, Miss Halliwell," he flashed her one of his heart-melting-smiles.
Paige smiled at her book.
"Thank you," she sighed addressing Chris.
"Paige?"
"Yes?"
"When you were attacked...?" he paused.
"Yes?" she picked up a glass of water and took a sip.
"Why did you call for me?" he asked.
Paige chocked on her water.
"Pardon me," she coughed.
"Why did you call for me?" he repeated watching her intensely.
"I...Arh...well, two of my sisters were unconscious, my other sister warding off twenty demons and I was dying..." Paige trailed off.
"And I was the first name that came to your mind?" Chris smirked.
"Well, I...yes, I mean, I remembered that you were a Whitelighter, so I convinced Piper to call for Leo and I called for you," Paige finished.
"I felt your pain you know Paige, I could feel you dying, I felt like I was dying too Paige," Chris cried, moving even closer to her.
"You did?"
"Yes," he whispered.
Paige looked up and found herself staring into emerald green eyes.
"You are so beautiful," Chris whispered reaching up and stroking her cheek tenderly. He leaned in to kiss her but at the last minute she snapped to her senses and moved away.
"I'm sorry, I can't do this," and she stood up.
"Do what? Why not?" he called also standing.
"I don't know if I trust you," Paige replied croakily.
"You told me at the waterfall that you did," Chris objected.
"I know I did but I don't know if I trust you enough yet," Paige was on the verge of tears. "I've just been hurt too many times... Chris."
It was her saying his nickname that calmed him.
"I understand," and the two sat down together.
Cole, Phoebe, Andy, Prue, Leo and Piper enter all grinning ear to ear.
"Come Chris, we must be off," Andy announced.
Chris and Paige stood and everyone walked to the door.
And Paige kissed each man on the cheek before stopping at Chris. "Goodnight Christopher," and when she didn't do anything he took up her hand and kissed it.
"Goodnight Paige," Chris said and watched her walk back to the couch.
Cole pulled Chris aside.
"I think we have to tell them," he said.
"No Cole," Chris objected.
"All right."
The Cousin Lords then left.
