CHAPTER ONE

TO BUSY AUNT

Wyatt looked up as his Aunt Paige rushed past him towards the kitchen. He squealed with joy trying to get her attention. But she was out of the room in a blur.

"I wish Paige would slow down and enjoy life." Phoebe sighed thru her nose.

"When has Paige enjoyed life?" Leo raised his eyebrows. After discovering that Patty had a love child with her white lighter; Samuel Wilder; Leo made it his and the Elders mission on learning everything about Paige Matthews. So his statement was more to the point than any BUT the Elders knew.

"Looks like I need to show Paige how to pamper herself again." Phoebe said standing to her feet.

"Good bye the besets nephew of all." Phoebe knelt down to squeeze Wyatt's checks.

"Go to work; Phoebe." Leo rolled his eyes.

Orb lights came and went quickly.

"Wonder why Chris didn't orb in." Leo said surprised that the sisters' new white lighter didn't show himself.

"You know Chris. I be he decided to check the scuving map for more demons whom might turn Wyatt." Phoebe stood to her feet quickly. She had to leave before she spoke. She wasn't good at keeping secrets. And this secret was huge.

"I'll see you later tonight pumpkin." Phoebe didn't want to leave Wyatt's side. She never did; but what she just learned about Chris; she knew she had to.

"Bye Phoebe." Leo said distracting looking up to where the attic was located.

"Bye." Phoebe left the room quickly before her mouth took over for her.

"Hello Chris." Piper said with a smile as the orbs were still orbs.

"How did you know it was me and not Leo?" Chris asked as the orbs disappeared.

"Just a feeling." Piper said. "Are you hungry?"

"Famanished." Chris said as his stomach grumbled. "What do you mean a feeling?"

"I know Leo's orbs by heart." Piper said dishing up the scrambled eggs onto a plate all ready loaded up with two blueberry pancakes, six pieces of organic bacon and two pieces of toast. "Paige's too of course."

"Make sense." Chris shrugged as he sat in a chair.

"I know your orbs by heart also." Piper said setting the plate in front of the Halliwey's new white lighter.

"Oh." Chris said tightly. He clenched his hands into fists.

Piper noticed Chris's movements out of the corner of her eyes as she poured a cup of coffee. She didn't know what it meant; what his thoughts were. But she was bound to find out. She NEEDED to know. She needed to know who Christopher Perry truly was. She knew that it was important.

"Why is that?" Chris said breaking the tense silence.

Piper turned around with a soft smile and the coffee cup in her hand. "It's as we are connected."

"We are connected … Piper. Connected in protecting Wyatt." Chris said calmly.

Piper didn't miss the slight pause as Chris spoke. She didn't miss the look in Chris's eyes before he ducked his head and started shoveling the food into his mouth. She placed the mug in front of him.

"Thanks for the breakfast; Piper." Paige said as she wiped her mouth with the napkin. "I better go. I'm late all ready." With that she orbed out.

Piper and Chris shared a concerned look over Paige's orbing.

"I wish she would just talk about her break up with Richard." Piper said sitting down in Paige's vacated chair.

"She's not ready yet." Chris said picking up the coffee mug. "She will when she's ready,"

"You knew about this break up all along." Piper stated.

"In the future it was written in Book of Shadows." Chris said gently. "In Paige's own handwriting."

"Why didn't you tell us before Paige and Richard got so close?" Piper demanded.

"That part of the future CANNOT be changed; Piper. It would have everlasting and deveresting effects." Chris replied getting up and carrying the plate to the sink. "Do you want me to wash and you dry?"

"Yes." Piper blinked at what ease that questioned made her. She got up carrying Paige's plate and mug over to the sink.

Paige orbed into the hallway that lead to the office; after making sure that the hall was empty first of course. She walked over to the office door and pushed the all too familiar door opened.

"Paige you're back!"

"Welcome back Paige."

"Matthews long time no see."

"Paige."

"Matthews."

Greeted her as she walked down the isle of "South Bay Social Services." She stopped at her old desk and saw the Paige Matthews social worker name plank at the end of the desk.

"Can I see you in my office Matthews?" Sam Cowen said with arms folded across his chest.

Paige looked up and smirked. "Right boss." She moved to the office.

END OF CHAPTER ONE

Authors Note: No Paige is NOT going back to work for 'South Bay Social Services'. It's just a temp job. I thought what a neat way to bring Sam Cowen into this story.

(2) Yes this is a Paige/Wyatt story. But the sub plot is Piper/Chris bonding.
