"Paige," Piper said as she was the first to reach her.
Paige looked up at them, she was soaked to the skin and trembling like a leaf, but she still had a stubborn look in her eyes, one all three of the Halliwell's could identify with.
"Le-le-leave m-me a-a-alone," she said defiantly standing up to reach their height.
"Paige please just come with us, just so we can get out of the rain, we can talk and you can get warmed up and then if you still don't want to stay with us I can call my friend Darryl at the police force and he can take you down to child services," Prue said, while Piper and Phoebe shot her a weird glance wondering why she was saying Paige could leave.
Still trembling from the cold Paige accepted their offer if only to get herself warm again. She stumbled towards the car her limbs frozen from the rain and the wind, however as she fell she felt three sets of hands grab her and steady her as Prue, Piper and Phoebe helped her into the backseat.
Phoebe jumped into the backseat alongside Paige as her older sisters got into the front and drove off. She noticed how much Paige was shivering and reached into the boot and got an old picnic blanket for Paige.
"Thanks," Paige trembled.
"It's no problem," Phoebe said as she began to rub her arms up and down Paige's in an attempt to warm her up. Piper and Prue grinned from the front seat surprised at how well their young sister had fallen into the role of an older sister.
When they reached the Halliwell Manor Piper ran inside to put the kettle on and Phoebe went upstairs to get some warm clothes of her own for Paige to wear. Prue led Paige to the bathroom and began to run a hot bath for her. When she turned around she noticed that Paige had begun to cry.
"Sweetie, it's ok come here," Prue said pulling Paige into a hug.
As she did so she noticed that Paige flinched at her touch but eventually her sobs caused her to relax into Prue's embrace and Prue tried to comfort the teen not missing her constant shivering.
"Sshh, what's wrong," she soothed.
"It's just that you guys don't even know me, and you're being so nice and I, I, I just want my mom and dad back," Paige said breaking down again.
"Sshh, it'll be ok, I know it's hard I lost my mom when I was really young too, but it does get easier, and you want to know something?" Prue said soothingly.
Paige nodded through her tears.
"I promise you that me, Piper and Phoebe will help you through this ok," Prue said as Phoebe came into the bathroom with some warm clothes for Paige.
"But why are you doing so much for me?" Paige asked, but Prue shushed her.
"First, let's get you warmed up or you're gonna get a cold, you're still shaking like a leaf," Prue said.
"Here's some warm clothes for you, we'll leave you to it, call us if you need anything ok," Phoebe said as her and Prue backed from the bathroom and closed the door.
"How are we going to tell her?" Phoebe asked Prue as they walked back downstairs to where Piper was.
"Yeah, I mean I don't think she's going to take it well to find out in one day that she's a whitelighter and our sister," Piper said from where she stood making hot chocolate.
"Technically if she is our sister then wouldn't she be a witch-whitelighter?" Phoebe asked a look of confusion crossing her face.
"Wow I hadn't really thought about that, we'd been so focused on getting Paige back I forgot that I saw her orb, so that must mean that Mom had an affair with her whitelighter," Prue said giving Piper a knowing look.
"Oh Pipe, maybe that's why they were so against you and Leo getting together because they knew about Paige and were angry at mom for doing it so they didn't want it to happen again," Phoebe said.
"She did a bad thing," Piper said in a sarcastic voice.
"Who did what?" Paige said shyly standing outside the door of the kitchen dressed in Phoebe's clothes. The three sisters in the kitchen stood stunned for a second. Dressed in Phoebe's clothes, her dark hair falling in waves around her face, she looked so much like Phoebe it took the girl's breath away.
"What?" Paige asked again.
"Noth…" Prue began but she was interrupted by a sneeze from Paige.
"Oh sweetie, you're not getting sick are you?" Prue asked rushing over and placing her hand on Paige's forward to check her temperature.
Paige backed away from the loving gesture still not completely ready to accept these people into her lives after being independent for so long.
"No, I'm fine it's just a little hayfever," Paige said trying to stop the shivers that had begun to return.
"No,no,no missy you're getting this hot cocoa into you and then you're going to bed," Piper said.
"No really I'm fine," Paige said not sure that she wanted to show the vulnerability that would come with being sick.
"No way Paige you're coming with us," Phoebe said grabbing Paige and steering her towards the living room. When they got there Phoebe pushed Paige back onto the couch and sat down next to her.
"Prue do you know what this calls for?" Phoebe asked her.
"Oh do I ever, Paige you're going to love this it's basically what we call a Halliwell sick day and basically it involves movies, hot chocolate and a lot of ice cream," Prue said smiling.
"And as the sick person you get the privilege of picking out all of the movies that we watch," Piper said walking in with the hot chocolates.
"Pheebs, why don't you show Paige the movies we have and Piper and I will go and get blankets and pillows," Prue said motioning for Piper to follow her.
"Come on Paige," Phoebe said pulling Paige off the couch.
"Ok, ok I'm coming," Paige said not being able to stop the grin that crossed her face, somehow these girls managed to make her feel right at home. Her thoughts were interrupted by another sneeze and she wiped her nose on her sleeve slightly embarrassed.
"PRUE, PIPER CAN YOU BRING SOME TISSUES AS WELL," Phoebe yelled to her sister's and smiling at Paige and pulling her again towards where they kept all their movies.
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"Why did you need my help with this?" Piper groaned from underneath a pile of blankets and pillows that Prue had piled on top of her.
"It's just a little idea that I'm having, if Paige really is sick then she'll probably be a little more willing for us to take care of her and less likely to fight us off because she won't be feeling all too hot, so I'm hoping that if we help her get better then it will bring us closer and probably make it a little easier for her to accept us as sisters," Prue said adding a box of tissues to the top of her pile on Piper.
"Oh, Prue you're not just a pretty face you know," Piper's muffled voice said from behind her pile.
"I know I amaze myself with my brilliance sometimes," Prue laughed.
"I know sometimes I used to wonder why you didn't have blonde hair," Piper joked from behind the pile.
Prue smacked her slightly on the backside as she walked past, "Smartass," she said.
Meanwhile in the living room Paige had picked out The Lion King for them all to watch and hadn't been able to hide her smile again when Phoebe informed her that The Lion King was also her favourite Halliwell sick day movie.
The two girls had settled themselves back in their original positions and Paige was telling Phoebe about the time her parents took her to see The Lion King at the movies, her story was slowed by the interruption of her sneezes.
"You know Paige, I think you could really rival Pheebs with sneezes like that," Prue said walking back into the room.
"Yeah I think you could be right, when Phoebe sneezes the astronauts on the space station can hear her," Piper's voice said behind her pile.
Spreading the blankets and pillows out between them the four girls settled down to watch their movie. Halfway through they stopped for an ice cream break and then continued on in their viewing.
When the movie had finished Prue noticed that Paige and Phoebe had fallen asleep. She nudged Piper,
"How cute is that," she said.
Piper looked over, Paige had her head pillowed on Phoebe's arm and Phoebe had subconsciously placed her arm protectively across Paige's waist.
"It's a little scary how well she's falling into the big sister role isn't it," Prue said smiling.
"That's because she's had one of the best role models," Piper said getting up and giving Prue a hug. Together the oldest sisters pulled the blankets around the two youngest and walked upstairs to enter their own dream lands.
