Chapter 14
Lunch, Leaving and Lied
Prue and Andy sat at the kitchen table next morning; Abbie sprawled out in Prue's arms. Andy's arm securely around Prue, both with wide smiles plastered on their faces.
Grams walked into the kitchen past them then did a double take stopping to look at them curiously, "Okay whats going on?" She asked.
"Well…" Prue looked excitedly at Andy and he squeezed her hand, "We're engaged!" Prue squealed happily.
"Well its about time," Grams exclaimed thrusting her arms out.
Prue and Andy raised their eyebrows at her, she softened and a smile appeared on her face. "I mean congratulations,"
Prue and Andy grinned at her, shaking their heads, "Well thank you," Prue smiled.
"Okay then well we have a wedding to plan, I think…"
Prue held her hand up quickly to stop Grams, "Woah hold on, we're not rushing into anything, we're going to enjoy being engaged for a while," She looked to Andy who nodded and kissed her head.
""Oh…" Grams said slightly disappointed but quickly became happy again, "Well still I'm really happy for you two," She smiled happily at them.
"I'm happy too," Prue sighed, letting all her worries that clouded her love for Andy over the last few months out with it.
Paige sat looking out the living room window, her head rested comfortably in her hands, waiting. Grams cheerfully humming to her walked in seeing Paige, "What are you doing?" She asked curiously.
"N…nothing," Paige startled at Grams voice quickly came away from the window and smiled sweetly at Grams.
Grams looked at her oddly, "So what are your plans today?" She asked.
"Em…eh…I don't really know yet," She lied her fingers crossed tightly behind her back.
"Oh well do you want to come to lunch with me?" Grams asked.
"Eh…I can't," Paige said slowly just as a car horn beeped.
"Hmm, I wonder who that is?" Grams said nosily making her way over to the window.
"Eh…I don't know but why…" Paige stepped in front of Grams quickly and tried to change the subject.
Grams stopped and looked at Paige suspiciously, "Whats wrong?"
"Nothing," Paige answered placing a false smile on her face.
Suddenly the doorbell rang, "I'll get it," Paige shouted quickly.
"No I'll get it," Grams said firmly making her way into the hall, pulling open the door she gasped in shock, "Sam?"
"Hi Penny," He smiled kindly at her the looked over at Paige who was standing behind Grams wondering what Grams was going to say, "Hi, Paige,"
She smiled at him, "Hi,"
Grams looked at her, "Paige you know him?" She asked feeling confused.
Paige nodded, "Let me explain Grams," She looked at Sam, "Could you give us a minute?"
He nodded, "Sure I'll be in the car waiting," Smiling at Grams he left.
"Whats going on Paige?" Grams asked impatience in her voice as she rested her hands on her hips.
"Okay Grams Sam is a policeman and he came to our school and I recognised him from the photo you showed me and I talked to him…and he invited me to lunch today," She stopped to take a breath.
"Why didn't you tell me?" Grams asked slightly hurt that she wouldn't confide something like that to her.
"I didn't think you'd understand, I saw how you were when Victor came over, I thought you might stop me from seeing him," Paige explained quietly.
"Oh sweetie if its what you want I wouldn't stop you," Grams assured her pulling her in for a hug.
"Really?" Paige asked surprised.
"Of course," Grams laughed, "Now you better go,"
"Bye then," Paige smiled opening the door, she stopped and turned back to face Grams, "Thanks Grams," The she walked out the door.
"I'll see you later then," Grams turned to see Prue, Andy and Abbie coming into the hall.
"Count on it," Andy promised kissing Prue's cheek and giving Abbie a kiss on her head he turned to the door. "Bye," He waved at Grams before leaving.
"So where is he off to?" Grams asked Prue the minute he left.
"Oh he has a doctors appointment with Lindsay," Prue said still smiling even when she mentioned Lindsay's name.
Grams looked at her surprised, "And you don't mind?"
"Why should I?" She asked grinning.
Grams raised her eyebrows at her, "Oh maybe because you have been moaning about Lindsay forever,"
"Its different we're engaged now she can't break us up anymore,"
"Good to hear that," Grams said happily, "Well I'm going to pop out to the shops,"
"Bye then," Prue lifted Abbie's arms and waved them, "Say bye Grams,"
Gram blew Abbie a kiss and left.
Prue then turned to see Phoebe coming downstairs in dark denim hip hugging jeans, a hot pink crop top that showed off her cute belly button ring which she got done in her more wild days without Grams permission and sandals that matched her top, "You look nice, where you off to?" Prue asked hoping Phoebe wasn't still annoyed at her.
The look on Phoebe's face told her plainly that she was still annoyed, "I've got a date," She replied coolly.
Prue sighed, "Look Pheebs I'm really sorry about last night," She apologised. Phoebe's expression didn't change. Prue sighed again and decided she needed to take drastic measures. She held up Abbie in front of Phoebe and spoke in a babyish voice, "Please Aunt Phoebe forgive mummy she didn't mean it," Slowly Prue lifted Abbie down and looked at Phoebe.
Phoebe held her hard expression for a second before she broke down and smiled, "That's not fair you know you're not allowed to use my absolutely adorable niece on me like that,"
Prue grinned, "Did she convince you then?" Prue asked hopefully.
Phoebe nodded, "Of course she did you know I can't say no to her, can I sweetie?" Phoebe cooed at Abbie, tickling her under her chin to which Abbie giggled helplessly. Then she looked back at Prue, "I'm sorry too, I shouldn't have snapped at you like that, I guess,"
"You guess?" Prue asked.
Phoebe raised her eyebrows, "Don't push it," She warned then broke into a grin to show she was joking.
Prue laughed, "Okay then so we're cool?" She asked already knowing the answer but just making sure.
"You know we are," Phoebe smiled, "Now if you don't mind I have a date that I'm already late for,"
"Oh yeah right, well have a good time with Jamie was it?" Prue tried to remember the boy Phoebe was with last night.
Phoebe shook her head, "Em actually I'm not going with Jamie this time,"
"Oh I thought you said you had fun last night?" Prue asked confused.
"I did but… I don't want him to get too clingy, I mean it was just one date right? No strings attached its not like we're dating," Phoebe shrugged casually.
"Uh huh," Prue nodded biting her lip not wanting to say the wrong thing, "But you know Pheebs just because Cole left doesn't mean they all will." She said gently.
"Yeah I know…I just…am late so I better…you know go," She gestured her hand towards the door and left without casting even a glance back at Prue or Abbie.
"Okay Miss Taylor there is your baby," The doctor pointed to the screen where a fuzzy picture showed up.
"Where I don't see it?" Lindsay asked not even really looking properly.
"Its right there," Andy said before the doctor could answer, taking her finger and putting it on the screen.
"Oh wow its great," Lindsay commented slightly sarcastic but Andy didn't seem to notice he was still staring in awe at the screen, even though he had been through it before it still was huge to him.
"I know it is isn't it?" Andy stated more than questioned.
"Well just think in about six months you'll have a little baby," the doctor smiled warmly at them.
Andy was quick to pick up on what he had just said, "Six months? Don't you mean five?"
"Em no I don't think so," He scanned his notes, "No it says right here that Lindsay is three months along right now,"
Lindsay covered her face in her hands and cursed silently several times to herself.
Andy ignored her and looked at the doctor almost desperately, "Are you sure?" He asked.
"Yes," The doctor replied looking concerned at the two of them, "Is everything all right?" He asked.
Andy gave out a hollow laugh, "Well then everything is just fine," He said sarcasm dripping from his voice.
"So what do you want?" Sam asked Paige once they were sat at a little restaurant of Sam's choice.
"Em, I think I'll have the tuna baguette but without the salad, I just hate tomatoes," Paige replied smiling.
"I know what you mean I hate it when people spoil a perfectly good meal by putting salad with it," Sam agreed.
"Yeah I mean I'm all for healthy living and everything but tomatoes so spoil the taste of everything they touch," Paige grinned thinking about how ridiculous they must have sounded but somehow it didn't seem to matter.
Once they order was taken Sam turned to Paige, "So what did your Grams say about you seeing me today?"
"Surprisingly she was okay with it…I think she likes you more than Victor," Paige let a small grin appear on her face.
"Really?" He sounded quite surprised.
Paige laughed and Sam joined in too.
"So how is your sisters, wait let me get this right…Prue, Piper and Phoebe?" He asked looking at her to see if he got in right.
She nodded actually quite surprised that he got it right, "Yeah, they're all fine," She decided not to go into too much detail.
"Good," He smiled warmly just as their food arrived. They ate in silence until they were finished. "Did you like?" Sam asked as their plates were cleared away.
Paige nodded, "It was lovely and hey no salad," She grinned.
Sam laughed as the waiter asked if they wanted anything for desert, "Today's specials are apple pie, strawberries and cream or chocolate cake,"
"Chocolate cake," Paige and Sam both answered at the same time and then both started laughing.
The waiter smiled at them, "Two chocolates cakes it is then," He then sauntered away.
"So you like chocolate cake?" Sam asked still smiling.
Paige nodded enthusiastically, "It's only like my favourite food," She grinned.
"Me too," He agreed, "So tell me a little bit about your other favourite things…like what do you do in your spare time?"
Paige shrugged, "I dunno really, just mainly hang around with my sisters or Glen,"
Sam smiled awkwardly, "So Glen is he like your…boyfriend?"
Paige felt her cheeks redden slightly, "Em, yeah but he's also my best friend,"
"Sorry didn't mean to embarrass you," Sam apologised.
"No you never," Paige half lied.
"Its just I don't know anything about you," He sighed.
"Well we did like just meet," Paige smiled slightly.
"I guess," Sam agreed but was cut off by their deserts coming.
Once they were finished San got up to pay the bill and came back over to the table, "You ready?" He asked Paige. She nodded and followed him out to his car.
They both got into the car but Sam didn't start it, he turned to Paige, "I had a really nice time,"
"Me too, thanks." She smiled.
Sam smiled too but then his face grew serious, "Look Paige, last night, I was told I'm being transferred to New York,"
Paige let whet he said sink in, "Oh," Was all she could say as her face fell slightly.
"I know its bad timing after we just met and that's why I want you to come with me,"
"What!" Paige exclaimed shocked.
"I know it's a big deal and everything…"
"I can't go," She said then realised it was a bit too harsh added, "I mean we just met,"
"I know but I guess…well I just didn't want you to feel like I'm abandoning you again," He sighed.
"You're not," Paige sighed, "I mean I wish you didn't have to leave but I'm glad I got to meet you and see what you're like for myself, instead of just being told by other people and hey I've lived my whole life without a dad until now," She smiled slightly.
"I didn't really expect you to say yes," He admitted looking at her closely.
"I guess it just wasn't meant to be," She sighed and leant back against the car seat.
"I guess not," He agreed.
Paige just thought of something and sat back up, "If you knew this, why didn't you tell me earlier at lunch?" She asked curiously.
"I just wanted to have one day together without something like that over our heads," He answered.
She nodded, "Well thank you for today,"
"Your welcome," He replied as he started the car.
They slowly pulled up outside the manor, Sam looking at Paige a slight hint of regret or sadness in his eyes, "Listen Paige if you ever change you're mind or something…here," He handed her a small card containing his details.
"Thanks," She smiled taking the card and getting out of the car.
She topped at the bottom of the steps leading to the manor and gave a little wave, "Bye then I guess,"
He nodded, "Bye Paige…you're a good kid, of course I always knew you would be," He smiled proudly at her before starting up the engine.
Paige waved a last time and smiled as he drove off, she watched him drive away for a moment before sighing to herself and taking a look a the card he gave her, she slipped it in her pocket and let out a small smile as she walked up the steps into the manor.
"Andy…" Lindsay started as soon as they both walked out the doctor's office.
"I'll be the one talking," Andy cut her off sharply, he gave her a hard look, "It's not my baby is it?"
"Look Andy I…"
"Answer the question," Andy said through his teeth trying to remain as calm as possible.
"No," She mumbled looking at the floor, her voice shaky.
Andy gave a hollow laugh, "I can't believe you, what did you think that I would never find out?" He asked in disbelief.
"Well…"
He cut her off again, anger breaking through, "You're unbelievable you know that, just when I think you can't get any worse…"
"Andy please," She begged, her eyes watery as she looked pleadingly at him.
"Please what?" He spat, "Forgive you, forget about all this, is that what?" He shouted rage building up.
Lindsay didn't answer.
"How could you lie to me about something like this?" he asked looking at her in disgust.
"Andy…"
"Save it," Andy sighed shaking his head, "I'm going and I don't want to see you ever again and I mean that with every bone in my body," Glaring deadly at her one more time he walked away.
So I'm guessing you are all happy he finally found out, I know I am! Lol!
