Charmed isn't mine, unfortunately. I worked on most of this instead of writing my Lord of the Flies essay. Yeah, that book. Lol. The movie 'The Girl Next Door' is not mine. It belongs to whoever made it, but I'm not quite sure who did.
Prince Halliwell: Glad you liked the chapter. Chronokinesis is a great power, eh? Lol. Hmm, astral orbing or an orbed version of magical separation, those are very ingenious powers. I'm going to take those into consideration. I love them! And about glamouring, I read your review and that gave me an idea. Oh questions! Lol. Well, I'm not exactly sure about the number of chapters, but I want to have at least 20. I have a feeling though that it will be a lot more than 20 chapters. About the sequel, I want to do one and I think I will. And finally Paige's child will be born in, hmm, probably about chapter 15 or 16 maybe. You'll understand how that works when the time comes. Lol. Thanks so much for your review!
The-Cheese-Fairy: Oh don't be mad. Please! Okay, you're over it? Good. Lol. You'll have to read what Kyle has planned for the proposal. I thought you would like Phoebe getting left behind. Lol. I, personally, thought that Phoebe was perfect for the part of telling Paige to stay behind. Hehe. I loved Paige's "I'm pregnant not dumb" line too. Thanks a bunch for the review!
This chapter is set one month after the last chapter. So the date would be August 11, 2005. Okay, here we go!
The Pentacles and their Whitelighter were in Kyle's apartment, waiting for Paige to show up. The current time was 5:45pm. Kyle had told her to come at 6:00pm because he wanted to surprise her with something special. Hopefully, Paige didn't know what he had planned.
"Kyle, we've been planning this for a month, everything will go fine. Don't worry." Jess said trying to calm down a pacing Kyle.
"What if she says no?" Kyle asked cautiously.
"Kyle, she's not going to say no. Paige loves you so much. The child inside of her is living proof."
"You're right. I shouldn't worry. Everything will go fine, no, great." Kyle calmed himself down.
"That's the spirit. Okay, Andrew and I have everything in place. Jess, Andrew and I will be standing over in that corner," Vera pointed to a corner, "because it is the darkest place when the lights are off."
"All right, sounds good. Kyle are you okay?" Andrew asked.
"Yeah, it's just that, what you three are doing for me is amazing. I don't know what I can do to thank you." Kyle replied.
"Just, invite us to the wedding and never make us have another Whitelighter." Jess smiled, as did Vera and Andrew.
Kyle grinned. "You are the best charges I will ever have." There was a knock at the door. "Oh, places. It's show time."
Jess, Vera and Andrew quickly walked to the corner where they were to stay for the duration of proposal. Kyle took a few deep breaths, switched off the lights and opened the door. Paige stood in front of the door. The slight bump on her stomach was only noticeable if Paige wore something tight. However, on this day she wore a pair of black dress pants with a lose fitting dark red, of the shoulder shirt that looked like silk.
"Hi." Kyle said after a moment of standing, looking at his girlfriend.
Paige smiled. "Hi, I'm pregnant, can I come in?" She laughed.
"Was that a line from 'The Girl Next Door'?" Kyle finally said.
"Well, it has been tainted to my advantage." Paige joked. Kyle opened the door wider, allowing her to come in. "Why is it so dark?"
"Um, so you wouldn't see the surprise I have in store." Kyle said.
"Okay, so what is this surprise you have for me?" Paige asked, sitting down on the couch. The flames from the eight candles on the table were the only source of light in the room. Paige looked at the large bowl of water beside the candles. She then focused her attention to Kyle, who had sat beside her and took her hands in his.
The Whitelighter took a few deep breaths and began to talk. "Paige, the first time I met you I knew there was a connection between us. Then when you lost your Guardian Angel, I knew it was my duty to protect you, even though Phoebe wasn't to keen on it. And then when we were actually going out, I knew you were exactly what I wanted. I would give up my life to save you. And when I actually did, my only regret was that I didn't meet you sooner in life. But then I was given something not many people get, a second chance. And when I arrived 'Up There' after saying my last goodbye to you, I realized something; a life, even an immortal one, without you in it would be empty. When I was made the Pentacles Whitelighter, I was so happy I would be able to see you again. Of course, Odin and Darrius didn't want me to see you and they told me I couldn't. And as you know, Sandra and Keyah allowed me to see you again. When you told me you were pregnant, I realized that nothing would ever take me away from you and our child. I love you Paige Matthews."
Paige looked at the love of her life. Tears of happiness, joy, and most of all, love were falling from her eyes. Kyle glanced at the corner where Jess and Vera, who had been touched by his speech, and Andrew stood. Kyle slightly nodded his head. It was time. Andrew waved his hands, making the flames on the candles flicker and suddenly grow, creating letters. Vera gestured at the bowl of water and made the liquid rise out of the bowl. The floating water also created letters.
"Kyle, what's going on?" Paige inquired. She was unable to look away from the sight in front of her.
"Just watch." He replied.
The fire letters were 'M, A, R, R' while the water letters were 'Y, M, E?'. Jess sent several orb balls toward the words of fire and water. The balls of orbs exploded, creating lights that filled the room. Paige slowly read the message. 'MARRY ME?' it said.
"Paige, will you marry me and make my life whole again?" Kyle questioned.
"Yes. Yes, I will!" Paige stood up and she kissed Kyle passionately. When they parted, Kyle reached into his pocket to give Paige the ring. To his surprise, the ring wasn't there. Jess spotted the engagement ring on the side table beside the bed.
"Ring." She whispered. The beautiful diamond and sapphire ring orbed into her hand. "Kyle." Jess whispered again. The ring orbed from her hand and into Kyle's hand, which was still in his pocket. Relief washed over him as he felt to ring orb into his hand. Kyle slid the ring onto his fiancée's hand.
"Okay, you three can come out now." Paige stated as she flick on the lights. The candle flames returned to normal, as did the water.
"How did you know we were here?" Vera asked smiling, though as a joke. The group knew very well how Paige knew.
"Congratulations again Paige. You two will be so happy together." Jess said. She gave Paige a hug, as did Vera. Andrew shook Kyle's hand, being the men that they were.
OHHH that was so cute if I say so myself. Kyle is such a sweetheart. Hehe. I hope you enjoyed this chapter. Next chapter will get back to the action. In fact, here's a little summary of the next chapter:
Odin and Darrius find out Paige is pregnant. Paige's child starts to show signs of a power, and makes it worth seeing. Jess tells Duncan what all has happened since they last talked. Vera and Andrew visit Vera's mother.
Well, I should go study for my geography test. Until next chapter all!
