Thanks very much for all the reviews!

Chapter 6

Reunions, Reactions and Reasons

Victor pulled up outside the manor with a slightly anxious Piper and Phoebe in the back. They all got out, without saying anything and Piper lead the way up the steps, Phoebe followed her and Victor was very close behind them. Piper opened the door silently praying everything would be okay and went into the hallway.

They three of them stood in the hall a moment as Victor looked around him, "Well it looks pretty much the same," He concluded his eyes focusing on Piper and Phoebe again.

"Well Grams isn't big on redecorating, she likes to keep things as they are," Piper said smiling slightly.

Victor nodded and smiled, "So where is Prue then?" He asked.

"Em I don't know, somewhere," Piper answered then raised her voice as she called out Prue's name, "Prue we're home."

"Okay, I'm just making tea, Grams called she'll be later coming home tonight from work," Prue called back as Piper and Phoebe exchanged slightly relieved looks.

"Right well actually there is someone here who would like to see you," Piper said as she looked at Victor.

"Who is it?" Prue asked casually as she drained the spaghetti in the sink.

"Em…" Piper started but Victor cut in, "It's your dad,"

They heard a clatter as Prue obviously dropped something and a second later she came into the hallway a hard expression on her face, "What is he doing here?" She asked Piper and Phoebe coldly not looking at Victor at all.

"Don't I even get a hello?" Victor asked sounding hurt.

"You lost the right to getting a hello when you abandoned us without saying bye," Prue glared at him.

Victor sighed, "Okay I deserved that but like I said to Piper and Phoebe already I couldn't be sorrier about that,"

"Why did you leave then?" Prue asked unemotionally, as if she didn't care.

"I had every intention of coming back…but your Grams forbade me form coming anywhere near you," Victor said as he reached out for Prue's hand but she grabbed it away and looked away from him.

"Yeah right," She said crossing her arms and shaking her head.

"It's the truth," Victor said almost desperately.

"I really don't care if it is or not, so why don't you just tell us what you want then leave us alone like you've done for the last however many years," Prue said bitterly.

"What I want is to see my three daughters," Victor said looking at Piper and Phoebe as if for a bit of support but they remained quiet.

Prue looked as if she were about to say a nasty comment but she stopped herself realising what he had said, "Three daughters?" She asked curiously.

"Yes," Victor nodded, "What is wrong with that?"

Before anyone could answer Paige walked down the stairs humming a little tune to herself but she stopped when she saw everyone at the bottom of the stairs, she could sense the tension, "Who is this?" She asked her sisters.

"Victor," Prue said as if she was saying a bad word.

"Victor," Paige repeated oblivious to who it was then she suddenly realised and her eyes grew wide, "Oh," Was all she could think of to say.

"Who are you?" Victor asked politely.

Before Paige could answer Prue told him sharply, "She's your other daughter."

"Glen," Cole, Andy and Leo cheered as he opened his front door to reveal all three of them standing outside.

"What are you guys doing here?" Glen asked surprised to see them.

"Well the girls have something on so we thought why not have a guys night in," Andy said piling videotapes, cans and packets of crisps into Glen's hands and walking past him into his house as Cole and Leo followed him.

"Sure of course you guys can come in," Glen said sarcastically as he then followed the three of them into the living room too.

"Parents out?" Cole asked as he flopped down onto the couch, not before grabbing a can from Glen.

"Yeah," Glen nodded taking a seat too.

"Good," Cole said with a grin.

"What are these?" Glen asked referring to the tapes that he dropped onto the table.

"Well what would a guys night in be incomplete without?" Andy asked as if it were obvious.

Glen grinned, "Football reruns."

"Exactly," Andy said now also grinning, "Leo do the honours," He handed a tape to Leo who put it into the VCR.

They all lay back on the two couches in Glen's living room, took a gulp of their cola and a handful of crisps and watched the first few minutes of the game in silence.

"So I'm guessing Paige didn't mention whatever they were all up to tonight," Leo asked Glen.

Glen sort of jumped at the mention of Paige's name as it reminded him of earlier that morning, "Paige? Why would I know?" He asked concentrating hard on the TV.

"Em, maybe because she is your girlfriend," Cole said raising his eyebrows.

"Right, well no I mean I haven't talked to her since last night," Glen lied.

"Okay, well I'm sure we'll find out tomorrow form them," Andy said and they all nodded and turned their attention back to the TV.

Andy's phone suddenly went off and he pulled it out his pocket and read the caller ID, he sighed and slipped it back in his pocket.

"Who was that?" Leo asked.

"It was just…Lindsay," Andy mumbled looking at the TV.

"Oh yeah, I've been meaning to talk to you about that," Cole grinned, "Another girl pregnant, tut tut," Cole shook his head and pretended to be disappointed.

"I know," Andy sighed, "You know what the worst thing is though," The others shook their heads and he continued, "No one is mad at me, disappointed, angry or anything,"

"Isn't that a good thing?" Cole asked confused.

"Well yeah but it makes me feel so guilty, I mean Prue has been so supportive and my parents well they were shocked at first but now they are taking it fine, I mean surely they should be up in arms, calling me the worst son ever but my dad actually congratulated me, I mean my dad," Andy told them all as they looked amazed.

"Woah can I have your parents?" Glen asked.

The others laughed.

"Well you know you should feel really grateful that Prue is so understanding and your parents are too," Leo said.

"I know," Andy sighed and lay back down on the couch but Glen suddenly jumped making Andy also, "Yes did you see that shot?"

Their eyes all automatically shifted to the screen yet again.

"This is great, Prue doesn't let me watch football, she complains until I eventually switch it off just to shut her up," Andy grinned.

"Yeah, Pipers the same," Leo agreed, "She goes on and on about them being a bunch of ruffians fighting over a ball."

"Nah, Phoebe will let me watch and she'll watch it with me but she asks questions about what is going on the whole way through, it gets really annoying after a while," Cole told them.

"Paige is completely opposite, she's the one that tells me we're watching it and yells at the TV all the way through about how pathetic they are being," Glen laughed at the memory.

"Listen to us," Andy said, "We're meant to be having a guys night in but we're sitting here talking about the girls,"

"Well you gotta love em," Cole grinned and sighed.

"Here, here," The all agreed raising their cans in the air and then they fell back laughing.

"Other daughter," Victor repeated studying Paige then he shook his head and looked away from her to Prue, "That is not possible, I would have known."

"No, you probably left before mum was able to tell you she was pregnant!" Prue said her voice raised.

"I did not leave when your mother was pregnant, Phoebe was only two months old for crying out loud!" Victor's voice had now reached the came level as Prue's.

"Well explain how Paige got here then!" Prue spat.

"I think I can do that," They all turned round to see Grams standing in the doorway a grim expression on her face.

She walked in and hung her coat up then turned to them all, "Victor," She acknowledged his presence her voice rather cool.

"Penny," He gave a small nod.

"Okay Grams what are you talking about?" Prue asked impatiently.

"Maybe we should all have a seat," Grams suggested leading the way to the living room, they all curiously followed her.

Grams sat down on her usual seat and Victor sat down on the couch, which Phoebe sat down beside him, he smiled and she returned it, while Piper sat beside Phoebe. Prue sat on a seat as far as she could from Victor while Paige hung at the door awkwardly, this was the second time that day that she had felt awkward and she did not like it.

Prue noticed her, "Paige," She patted to her seat and shifted up far enough for Paige to squeeze on too, Paige smiled weakly and went over quickly.

"So Victor," Grams began, "Why are you here?"

"Well I met up with Piper and Phoebe today and…"

"And you girls brought him back here?" Grams asked disbelievingly.

"Well…" Victor began.

"Yes," Phoebe answered, "We did and you know what we aren't going to apologise for it because yeah he may have left us but he is still our dad and he is here now can we not just give him a chance to explain."

Victor gave her an appreciated smile.

"Phoebe how can you be so naïve he didn't just abandon us which is bad enough he left mum alone when she was pregnant with his child!" Prue said to Phoebe.

"No he never," Grams interrupted.

"What?" Prue asked looking at her grandmother.

"Look girls I should have told you this before but…Paige sweetie," She looked at her youngest granddaughter, "Victor isn't you real dad,"

The sisters all looked shocked, especially Paige.

"I didn't think she could be," Victor said quietly, "I mean me and Patty never…well you know after Phoebe was born,"

"So who is my dad?" Paige asked quietly looking only at Grams as she spoke.

Everyone turned very curiously to Grams fro an answer, "A man called Sam Wilder, he was your mothers wh… friend but they grew closer than that,"

"Where is here now?" Paige asked.

"Well he was around until your mother died but then he left, he had to, it was complicated, his job pulled him away," Grams tried to explain.

"So that make me only a half sister," Paige realised and looked down at the floor.

"Well technically yes but you'll never be thought of like that, you're as much a part of this family as any of us," Grams assured her.

Prue slipped her arm around Paige's shoulders and gave her shoulder a squeeze, but Paige shook her off and looked at Grams, "Why didn't you tell me before?" She asked louder than she had since they all came into the living room.

"Well there was no real need for you to know it would have just have upset you and you all were never close without knowing I thought it would only make things worse if you knew the truth and you know what you wouldn't have even had to know if Victor," She said his name with great dislike, "Hadn't interfered."

"You know I'm sorry I shouldn't have come round," Victor stood up quickly.

"No, wait you can't just leave," Phoebe protested and stood up too.

"Phoebe its for the best," Prue said gently.

"You would think that, you knew him, I didn't and now we have I have the chance to you are just going to spoil it," Phoebe shouted annoyed at Prue.

"Phoebe I was two and a half," Prue shouted.

"Well its still something, and you remember mum so much better than any of us, you were nearly four when she died," Phoebe said sadly looking away from Prue, feeling tears sting her eyes.

"Okay I can remember," Prue admitted.

"I only have a faint memory of her," Phoebe sighed.

"Well be thankful you even had that, I have none, since she died a week after I was born," Paige said quietly and she got up and left the room quickly.

Phoebe and Prue felt immediately bad and went to go after her. "No girls don't leave her for a bit," Grams said calmly as they both obediently sat back down.

They all then heard cries from the kitchen, Prue looked startled for a moment before remembering that Abbie was asleep in there, well she was.

"Em…I'll go and…yeah," Prue got up and left the room leaving an awkward silence behind her.

"So, Prue got a babysitting job?" Victor asked making conversation.

"Em…sort of," Piper answered looking to Grams and Phoebe for some help but they looked away.

"Actually she is my daughter," Prue said coming back through carrying the now quiet Abbie in her arms.

Victor took a minute to digest the information, "But…but your only sixteen,"

"Seventeen," Prue corrected coldly.

"Still…Penny how could you let this happen?" He turned to Grams.

"It's not Grams' fault," Prue defended.

"You are under her care," Victor argued.

"Grams has done a better job of raising us then you could have ever, at least she was there!" Prue said keeping her voice down as not to scare Abbie.

"Girls maybe you should go and check on Paige now," Grams suggested.

"Sure," They all mumbled getting up and leaving the room, Prue glaring at Victor, Piper giving a weak smile and phoebe a big smile.

"Victor what is it you want?" Grams asked once the girls were clearly out of hearing.

"I want to be part of their lives," Victor said.

"Well where were you when Patty died, you didn't seem to want to be a part of their lives then," Grams said coldly.

"Of course I wanted to be but…I got married again and…"

"So you chose your new wife over your children?" Grams asked disbelievingly.

"You wouldn't have let me near them anyway, you wanted to raise them a s witches and I wanted to raise them a little girls," He paused, "Do they know about…?"

"No," Grams answered.

"Oh well good," Victor replied happily.

"They will though, when it's the right time," Grams added.

Victor's phone started to ring, he looked down at it.

"Your wife?" Grams asked slightly nosily.

"As a matter of fact yes," Victor said before answering his phone, "Hi sweetie, yeah I'm fine, you? Good, sure, yeah I'll see you then, love you too, bye," He hung up and looked at Grams.

"So did you have anymore kids?" Grams asked casually.

"No but Vanessa, my wifehas two kids though, they are grown up but they visit sometimes," Victor answered.

"And you are living…?" Grams asked.

"Boston," Victor answered. "I'm here on business, I actually didn't plan on coming here, I knew no one want to see me but when I saw Piper and Phoebe and how they weren't angry I thought maybe it would be okay but I guess I was wrong, anyway I have to go back to Boston tonight."

"What, after all you have said about wanting to be in the girls lives, you are just going to leave again," Grams said shaking her head.

"I have to go back, actually," He checked his watch, "I really should be leaving now," He got up and walked to the door, grams followed him.

"You are really just going to leave?" Grams asked.

"I'll be in touch," He said, "Tell the girls goodbye from me," And with that he closed the front door behind him.

Grams sighed and leant back on the door. Wondering if he really did mean it this time but she didn't have much hope.
