Chapter 8 – Sex and Safety.

Bright sunlight filled the small bedroom, Paige felt the warm sun on her face and she opened her eyes, remembering where she was. She felt Henry's arm draped over her bare stomach lightly and she tilted her head back slightly to find him asleep, breathing deeply. Paige smiled happily, her memories from last night were so positive, everything about it had been just as she wished it would be. From the moment she started to unbutton his shirt until he had put his arm around her and pulled her closer into his warm embrace. It had felt so good and him still being here next to her now she woke up is what completed her happyness.

''Hey.'' Henry said quietly, without opening his eyes. Paige smiled and shifted onto her other side so she faced him, ''Morning..'' she replied, kissing him softly on his lips. Henry smiled and opened his eyes, ''How are you feeling?'' he asked. ''Absolutely great.'' Paige answered, ''How about you?'' ''Never been better.'' Henry said grinning. Paige smiled slightly and closed her eyes again. She felt Henry run his hand down her back slowly. ''Do you want breakfast?"' Henry's voice whispered. Paige nodded slightly, ''But not just yet.'' She replied. ''Why not?'' He asked. ''Because I'm comfortable here.'' Paige said, a smile playing on her soft lips. Henry laughed slightly and pulled her closer as though he didn't want her to get up and go home. Not that she would at this moment, she felt comfortable and warm and she wasn't planning on getting up.

Paige opened her eyes and looked into his, he looked back at her and smiled, ''You look happy.'' He said quietly. ''I am happy.'' Paige replied, she put her hand on his chest and kissed him lightly. Henry kissed back and then pulled back slightly, sitting up, ''I'm going to make breakfast okay?'' he said. Paige nodded. Henry got up wrapping one of the sheets around his waist and walked out, going downstairs. Paige sighed deeply and stretched, she felt like she could go up against the entire Underworld. She glanced out of the window and sat up, holding the sheets against her chest, she saw that her and Henry's clothes were scattered all over the floor and smiled slightly.

Phoebe sat next to Luke's bed she looked at him and smiled slightly. Luke saw her looking, ''Go home Sweety.'' He said, ''You look tired and I'll be fine, really.'' Phoebe shook her head, ''I don't want to leave you alone here.'' She replied. Luke had been attacked by a Demon yesterday night, his neighbour had found him unconsious, with a stab wound from an athame in his side, the neighbour had called the hospital and he was taken there. After a few hours the doctors had declared him as ''Stable'' and the wound wasn't life threatening anymore. Phoebe went to him as soon as she was called and she had been sitting next to his bed since 12 hours. ''Don't worry so much, I'm fine now, just go and get some sleep, please, for me.'' He smiled sweetly. Phoebe laughed slightly, she couldn't resist that smile, ''Fine, but I'm coming back tonight.'' She said as she got up. ''Yeah, I'll be looking forward to that.'' Luke said, smiling. Phoebe smiled back and kissed him softly on his lips, ''I love you.'' ''I love you too, loads.'' Luke replied. '''Bye hunny.'' Phoebe said as she walked out.

Paige had just said bye to Henry and now drove home in her car, with a huge smile plastered on her face. She couldn't stop it, she felt very happy because Henry and her had just set another date. And not only that felt good, also the fact that he was great in bed made her happy. She sighed slightly to herself as she pulled up outside the Manor, Phoebe and Piper would probably start asking where she was last night as soon as she had closed the door behind her. Paige got out of her car and closed the door, locking it. She looked up at the Manor and walked upto the front door as she heard Phoebe's car driving onto the drive-way. She stopped and turned around, waiting for her sister. Phoebe got out of her car and locked it, she then walked to Paige, ''Hey Paige, Did you just come home?'' phoebe asked, smiling. Paige smiled back, ''Looks like you did too.'' She replied.

Phoebe nodded, ''Yeah I was at the hospital.'' Paige looked at Phoebe, ''How do you mean? What happened?'' she asked worried. Phoebe smiled slightly, ''It's not very bad Paige, Luke got attacked by a demon, his neighbour found him unconsious.'' She told her younger sister. ''But is he okay now?'' Paige asked, still a bit worried. Phoebe nodded, ''He's got a concussion and a stab wound, but he will be fine.'' Phoebe replied. ''Oh, good.'' Paige said. She opened the door of the Manor. ''So where have you been last night missy?'' Phoebe asked. Paige laughed slightly as she walked into the Manor, Phoebe had always been the curious cupid in the Manor. Phoebe closed the door as she walked in too. Paige took her jacket off. ''Well? Are you gonna tell me?'' Phoebe asked impatiently. Paige smiled, ''Fine.. I was at Henry's.'' She walked to the livingroom. Phoebe followed her, ''And you slept with him..'' she said as she sat down on the couch. Paige looked at Phoebe, ''How do you know?'' she asked. ''Oh come on, I can tell by that glow on your face, he's good in bed isn't he?'' Phoebe replied, grinning.

Paige blushed lightly, ''Hmm, not good, amazing.'' She said smiling back. Phoebe laughed, ''Take it you like him then?'' she asked. Paige nodded, ''Yeah, really like him.'' Phoebe got up and gave Paige a hug, ''I'm sure everything is going to be okay for you now.'' She assured her younger sister. Paige hugged back, ''Yeah, I hope so.'' She let go off Phoebe, ''I think I'm going to try and find Piper, I was supposed to babysit on Wyatt and Chris.'' Paige said. Phoebe nodded, ''Okay..''. Before Paige could go upstairs, Piper came downstairs, looking angry. 'Uh-oh.' Paige thought, 'Looks like someone's a bit pissed off.' ''Paige! Where were you? You were supposed to look after Wyatt and Chris!'' Piper said as she walked to her youngest sister. ''Wait Piper, can I explain?'' Paige asked. Piper folded her arms and looked at Paige, ''Okay, give it a try.'' She said. Paige looked at Piper, ''Well..you know I had dinner with Henry's last night right?'' she started. Piper nodded. ''Yeah..well I wanted to go, but I left my purse upstairs, so we went to get it..and we kissed..and you know..'' Paige trailed off slightly. Piper sighed, ''I thought you wanted to take it slow?'' she said. ''Yeah well..it felt good and he was still next to me when I woke up..'' Paige replied. ''Fine, it's okay..just look after Wyatt and Chris now, because Leo and I have to go..we're late.'' Piper said. Paige nodded, ''Okay, sorry..''

Paige had fallen asleep in the Nursery, she sat on a chair with Wyatt's teddy-bear in her arms. Wyatt sat straight up in his bed, ''Auntie!'' he said, trying to get Paige's attention. ''Auntie Paige?'' he repeated, looking at her. Paige mumbled something and moved slightly. Wyatt looked over at the glass of water that stood on the table next to Paige. He smiled and orbed the water over Paige, so that her top got soaked. Paige gasped as she woke up, ''Wyatt!'' she said, looking at her top. Wyatt smiled again, ''Auntie Paige want to play?'' he asked. Paige looked at him and laughed slightly, she got up and picked him up from his little bed, ''You're clever aren't you?'' she said as she walked out of the nursery and went downstairs. Wyatt rested his head against her chest, ''I want to play.'' He mumbled. Paige smiled and put Wyatt down in the Conservatory, next to his toys, ''Go play Wyatt, I'll be right back.'' She said.

And just as she wanted to go back upstairs the doorbell rang. 'Who can that be?' Paige wondered and she answered the door, ''Darryl, hey.'' She said as she found Darryl outside. ''Paige I need your help.'' Darryl replied. ''Oh,'' paige said, ''Do you want to come in?'' Darryl shook his head. ''Is it something Demonic?'' Paige asked. Darryl shook his head again and avoided to look at Paige. ''What's wrong?'' she questioned. ''Well..Paige your top is kinda see-through.'' Paige looked down slightly and blushed, ''Wait..'' She grabbed her coat and put it on, ''Okay continue..'' she said. Darryl smiled slightly, ''It's kind of personal.'' He said. ''I've dealed with personal before..'' Paige answered. ''Oh..well I want to surprise Sheila with something nice, because I want to make up for all those times I had to go, but I don't know what to do.'' Paige smiled slightly, ''Just buy her something nice Darryl, something she likes..or take her out for dinner.'' Darryl smiled back slightly, ''Isn't that a little corny?'' he asked. Paige shook her head, ''We're women Darryl, getting taken out for dinner is a nice surprise.'' She replied. ''Okay..'' Darryl agreed, ''Thanks Paige.'' ''No problem.'' She said. Darryl smiled, ''Bye..'' ''Bye Darryl.'' Paige replied, he turned around and walked off. Paige closed the door and took her coat off again. ''Wyatt I'll be right there!'' she said as she walked upstairs to change her top.

Paige was sat in the Conservatory, playing with Wyatt. Wyatt moved through the room on hands and knees, pushing his fire-truck. Paige watched him and smiled, She loved watching Wyatt play like that. He looked small and innocent and you would never expect him to be as powerfula s he actually was. The doorbell rang again and Paige stood up, ''Just a second Wyatt.'' She told him. Wyatt didn't seem to notice his aunt getting up and continued playing with his truck. Paige made her way to the front door and answered it. ''Hey Paige.'' Henry said, he was holding a bunch of big, white flowers. Paige looked slightly surprised, ''Henry..hi, what are you doing here?'' Henry smiled, ''I just wanted to see you.'' Paige laughed slightly, ''Aww..'' she replied. This was what she wanted, a guy coming all the way to the Manor just to see her, a guy who surprised her, someone spontanious, like Henry. Henry handed her the flowers and Paige smiled, ''They're lovely, thank you.'' She kissed him lightly, ''Do you want to come in?'' she asked. Henry nodded, ''If I'm not interrupting anything.'' He replied. Paige shook her head, ''No not at all.'' Paige said as she stepped aside so Henry could walk in. Henry made his way into the Manor and Paige closed the door behind him, ''I'm just gonna put the flowers in a vase, do you want something to drink?'' Henry shook his head, ''No, I'm fine Thanks.'' Paige gave him a smiles and walked into the kitchen.

She got a vase from the cupboard and filled it with water, 'Cute that he steps by like that.' She thought to herself as she put the flowers in the vase. She put the vase down on the dinnertable and went back to the hall, but she didn't see Henry, ''Henry?'' she said. ''In your sunroom.'' She heard Henry's voice saying. Paige smiled slightly and walked to the conservatory, where she found Henry sitting on his knees next to Wyatt, talking to him. ''Hey.'' She said. Henry looked up and smiled, ''Hey..'' he replied as he stood up. Paige smiled back, ''Talking about men stuff?'' she asked. Henry laughed, '"Yeah, Wyatt is from Piper right?'' he asked. Paige nodded, ''Yeah, Phoebe doesn't have kids yet.'' She replied. ''And neither do you, unless you have a very big secret.'' He said. Paige shook her hand, ''No..I don't'' she answered and then under her breath, ''Not that kind of secret.'' Henry took her hand, ''You're not supposed to make out in front of a kid right?'' he said. Paige smiled, ''No, why?'' Although she already knew what he was thinking, it was always fun to ask. Henry smiled back, ''Just asking.'' He said as he took her hand and led her to the dining-room. Paige walked with him and moved her arms around his neck, ''So what do you suggest to do now we're here?'' she asked, smiling. Henry didn't say anything and kissed her. 'Well that answer works for me.' Paige thought to herself and she kissed back. Henry moved his hands to her waist and pulled her closer, she felt him smile slightly as she moved her hand to his butt.

Just as she wanted to move her other hand to his chest she felt him freeze, literally, and she pulled back slightly, ''Henry?'' she said. She waved her hand in front of him, expecting him to repsonse, but he didn't. Paige turned around and found Piper standing behind her grinning, ''Hi..Paige, I'm sorry to interrupt, but there's a demon coming this way and we need you to help us vanquish him.'' Paige rolled her eyes, ''You could've just walked in you know, what if he unfreezes before we vanquished the demon?'' Paige replied. ''He won't, now come with me.'' Piper grabbed Paige by her arm and dragged her to the parlour. ''Alright alright..'' Paige said as she obviously followed, not that she had a choice really. Piper let go off Paige and handed her some potions, ''Here take these.'' She said. Paige looked at the potions and then back up, ''Where's pheebs?'' she asked, ''I thought we needed the power of three for this?'' ''We do.'' Piper replied, ''Phoebe's upstairs getting more potions.'' ''Oh right.'' Paige said just as Phoebe runned in, ''Here I am, has the demon arrived yet?'' she questioned. Paige shook her head, ''The big fireworks is still about to come.'' She said and smiled slightly. Phoebe smiled back, ''Okay, so an upper-level demon, right piper?'' she asked. Piper nodded, ''That's what Leo said.'' She answered. A demon shimmered in. ''Hi and..oh my god! Cole? Again?'' Paige said, her mouth dropped open, Phoebe dropped her potions. Piper looked surprised at Cole, then at Leo and back at Cole again, ''But how? How?'' she could barely put the words together. Cole smiled uncomfortable, ''Guess who's back?''
