Chapter 8
Schoolkid9, Sam and Suspicion
"Okay everyone, opening night is in one week and we have a lot of work to do," Mrs. Evans voice rang out across the stage as everyone scurried to their place, her eyes scanned the room watching them all with great delight when someone came up behind her and tapped her shoulder, she swung round, "Ah, there you are, thought you might have pulled out too,"
The boy shook his head, "Of course not, I hate letting people down," He grinned as she smiled widely at him before clearing her throat to get the rest of the cast's attention, "Oh yes and everyone I almost forgot to mention, Tony Dawn pulled out last night and at the last minute this young man was very helpful to offer to fill in his part of school kid 9 for him,"
Everyone turned their attention to the boy beside Mrs. Evans; a lot of them looked very surprised but no one was more surprised than Phoebe.
"Cole?" She asked raising her eyebrows slightly at the thought of him in a play.
"Hi," He smiled as she climbed down from the stage and made her way over to him.
"Okay, what are you doing here?" She asked suspiciously.
"Mrs. Evans just told you, I'm in the play," Cole said seriously.
"Okay," Phoebe began slowly looking at him closely, "Em…why though?"
"Well…Tony backed out and I offered, plus it means we can spend more time together since I'm leaving," Cole smiled happily at her then noticed she wasn't, "That okay?"
"What? Oh yeah that's great…Cole listen about yesterday, when you told me and how I reacted but I was just…"
"Shocked?" He didn't wait for her to answer, "Yeah it's okay, look we can talk later yeah? We better get on stage,"
Phoebe nodded, a little taken aback by his eagerness but followed him onto the stage then suddenly saw Lee and began to worry about how awkward it was going to be when Cole saw them kiss.
Paige walked into the manor after school where she found Grams waiting on the other side but she barged right past her not even looking at her and started the stairs.
"Paige," Grams said calmly calling after her.
Paige didn't look round but stopped walking.
Grams sighed and moved towards her grandaughter slowly, "Paige you can't ignore me forever,"
"Can't I?" Paige muttered and began walking again but Grams caught her arm stopping her, "Paige please we have to talk,"
Paige suddenly turned round, a look of anger on her face, "Talk? Okay how about we talk about the fact that you lied to me for fourteen years of my life,"
Grams answered quietly, her voice brisk though, "Paige, I did that because I thought it was for the best,"
Paige shook her head at Grams but didn't say anything.
Grams sighed, "Okay maybe I should have said something but what good would it have done anyway, it wouldn't have changed anything, we all love you just as much and Sam would have still left," Grams added the last part softly.
"What was he like?" Paige asked sudden curiosity taking over.
"Sam?" Paige nodded, "Well he was very kind, smart, always helping people, your mother was very fond of him, he was quite tall and…actually you have his eyes,"
Paige smiled a little.
"Actually I have a photo of him somewhere," Grams said making her way over to the cabinet and bringing out an old photo album that had a thick layer of dust covering the top, Grams carefully blew it away and opened the pages gently and eventually came across what she was looking for, "Here we are," She handed a photo to Paige who studied it for a minute before looking up.
"I do have his eyes," She smiled making Grams smile also.
"What did he do?" Paige asked her eyes wondering to the photo again.
"Do?" Grams asked.
"Like as in a job," Paige explained.
"Oh," Grams answered slowly wondering what to say, she could hardly say oh your dad was a whitelighter but then again the last Grams heard Sam's wings were clipped and he was living as a mortal, "Well he really just did volunteer work…but you know that was a long time ago he probably has another job now," Grams finished quickly.
"And another family," Paige said quietly.
"Probably sweetie," Grams said gently pulling her close to her.
Paige pulled away then and handed the photo back to Grams, "It doesn't matter anyway, its all in the past now and as far as I'm concerned I've got all the family I could possibly want,"
"You going to be okay then?" Grams asked.
"I'm going to be just fine," Paige answered smiling properly for the first time in about a month.
"Hi, Andy," Lindsay smiled as Andy opened his front door to her.
"Lindsay, what are you doing here?" Andy asked in a strained voice.
"Oh, is this a bad time?" Lindsay asked.
"Well actually it is…." Andy began but she pushed past him anyway.
"Great then," She smiled.
"Sure come in." Andy answered sarcastically, "So Lindsay what's on your mind?"
"Well I just needed someone to talk to," She sighed sitting back on Andy's couch.
"What's wrong with Miranda and Karen or your parents?" Andy asked sighing again as he sat down on the other couch.
"Well they don't understand and my parent s aren't really speaking to me right now,"
Andy suddenly felt a bit guilty, "Okay so…how are you?" Andy asked trying to sound enthusiastic about it.
"Well I'm not too good, I feel sick all the time and my stomach is so swollen," She moaned.
"Well the sickness gets better and as for you stomach to be honest it doesn't look big at all which actually is quite strange considering your like what three months pregnant," Andy answered looking slightly suspicious.
"Oh," Lindsay thought quickly, "Well maybe it's a small baby,"
Andy smiled slightly, "Yeah I guess,"
"Well look at the time, I really should be going now, thanks Andy," Lindsay got up quickly and made for the door deciding she better leave before he got too suspicious.
Andy stood up and followed her to the door, "Okay then, bye," He said as she closed the door loudly behind her. He stared at the closed door for a minute curious about he sudden urge to go but then shook his head and sighed realising he would never understand Lindsay Taylor.
Lindsay closed the door behind her and was startled at who she saw leaning on the gate, "Chris?"
"Hi," He smiled.
"What are you doing here?" She hissed looking anxiously back at the door to make sure Andy was not there.
"I saw you go into Andy's and have been waiting for you to come out," He explained.
"Why?" She asked trying to walk past him but he caught her arm, she turned to face him.
"I need to talk to you," He said seriously.
"Fine," Lindsay sighed, "But not here," She walked over to her car and got in, Chris got in too. She started the car and drove off, "What is it then?"
"Well, look here is the thing, I've been thinking a lot about you and me and…the baby and…. em well I mean that could be my child you are carrying and…well I can't ignore that, I shouldn't ignore that…it's my responsibility and…"
"Chris you're babbling," Lindsay interrupted tapping her fingers impatiently on the steering wheel.
"Right, sorry, okay well what I'm trying to say is that I want to be part of this baby's life, I want to support you and I don't care what anyone says about it,"
"Wait a minute did I hear right? You don't care if anyone finds out that you got me pregnant," Lindsay asked surprised, thinking of the self-obsessed guy she thought he was.
"That's right," Chris nodded then stopped thinking what Lindsay had just said, "Wait…so the baby is definitely mine?"
"What…no…how do you think that?" Lindsay asked casually.
"You just said that I got you pregnant," Chris repeated her words.
Lindsay silently cursed herself and sighed.
"So it's true?" Chris asked studying her face.
Lindsay sighed again knowing she really couldn't get herself out of it now, "Yes okay its yours,"
His face lit up, "Well that's great then, I mean I would have supported you before anyway but now that it's mine it makes it so much simpler,"
"No Chris wait, this doesn't change anything, I've told Andy the baby is his," Lindsay said gently keeping her eyes fixed on the road.
"I know but its okay you thought that I would want nothing to do with you but I do so we can tell Andy the baby is mine and we can be a family me, you and the baby."
Lindsay shook her head slowly, "No,"
"Why not?" Chris asked slightly hurt.
Lindsay sighed, "Because…because I love Andy,"
"Oh," Chris looked down then quickly looked back up, "But Lindsay Andy loves Prue, he doesn't love you," It came out a bit more harsh than he intended it to.
"I know but maybe…" She started.
"If you have his baby things will change and he might realise he loves you…Lindsay that won't happen," Lindsay pulled up outside his house and stopped the car but Chris didn't get out.
"Bye, Chris," She said quietly.
"Lindz…"
"Bye, Chris," She repeated firmly.
Chris sighed and got out the car silently and watched her drive off.
Paige lay sprawled out on her bed doing her homework when she heard a soft knock at her door, she sat up and called, "Come in," The door slowly opened and there stood her three sisters, they stood at the door as if waiting for permission to come in, "Well don't just stand there get over here," Their faces all broke into smiles and they walked over as Paige threw her homework under the bed.
They all jumped up onto her bed too, "So Grams told us she talked to you," Prue said.
"Oh," Paige answered.
"So we thought we should talk too," Piper added.
"Okay," Paige replied.
"Well you know Paige just because your only our half sister that doesn't make any difference to us, we love you just as much," It was Phoebe's turn to speak.
"I know," Paige sighed smiling at them.
"You do?" Phoebe asked thinking they would have to say a lot more to convince her of that.
"Yes and I love you guys too," Paige grinned at them before Phoebe called, "Group hug," And they all jumped on each other.
