CHAPTER TWO

CHIPAMINZE PICTURE

Wyatt sat down as he sensed that Paige was no longer in the manor. He sent creased faced frowns over to his father; hoping that Leo would get a clue and bring his Aunt Paige back to him.

But Leo was too wrapped up in the newspaper. Wyatt sighed as deeply as his fourteen month chest could. Unfortunately the sigh wasn't loud enough to draw his father's attention.

Wyatt sent a message to his mother. Mama; I want Aunt Paige. Get Aunt Paige back now. Please Mama. Tears welled up in his eyes.

"I know that you need a flexible schedule; Paige." Sam said as he sat down in his chair. He picked up the paper in front of him. "So here's your schedule." He handed the paper over to Paige.

Paige took it and blinked at it. "Uhh Mr. Cowen; the paper's completely blank." She looked up into her old boss's face.

"Exactly." Sam nodded.

"I don't understand." Paige said putting the sheet of paper on the desk.

"What's to understand?" Sam asked.

"Do you need my help or not?" Suspicion crept into Paige's voice.

"Of course I do." Sam said surprised at Paige's tone of voice. This isn't the same Paige who hugged me goodbye a year and ½ a go. What happened?

Paige shook her head. "I can't believe my sister's. Why can't they just leave me alone! Why can't they let me deal with my heart break on my own terms?"

"What hearts break?" Sam asked.

"Richard. As if you didn't know that all ready." Paige stood to her feet with tears ready to fall.

"Paige; I didn't know. Honest." Sam stood to his feet and reached over and placed his right hand on Paige's arm to keep her from leaving.

Paige sat weakly back in her seat watching Sam's hand fall to his side. "Did or did not my sister's contact you; Mr. Cowen?"

Sam sighed deeply as he sat down. "They did." He answered. "They just called to see if there was any part time work.

"They had NO right to interfere with my life." Paige said pulling herself in at a tight rein

"I'm glad they did; Paige. I've missed you around here. I miss your spirit." Sam smiled. "You make my days better. When the stress gets me; I still think back to you and you help lighten my moods."

Paige blinked. "I never realized."

"I should have told you a long time ago." Sam said.

"Look that blank sheet of paper was to prove to you that I remember and respect your schedule." Sam said. "There is work that I need for you to do."

Paige nodded. "Assistant Matthews at your service." She quipped.

"Social Worker Matthews you mean." Sam firmly said.

Paige raised her eyebrows.

"There are a few special cases that I need you to deal with." Sam said.

Special. As in magical. Paige stopped herself from looking Heaven ward to where the Elder's were.



"So how pissed will Paige be; once she realizes that you and Phoebe called Sam Cowen and arranged this tempt job?" Chris asked as he handed the last plate to Piper.

"Totally pissed. I'm talking about a week's worth of pissed." Piper said drying the plate.

"Paige is no fun when she's pissed." Chris said nodding his head.

"And how do you know that Christopher Perry! You haven't seen Paige pissed." Piper folded her hands over her waist.

"I'm from the future remember?" Chris folded his arms across his waist mimicking Piper.

"How well do you know the family; Chris. Besides knowing that Wyatt is turned evil that is?" Piper asked stiffing up.

"My telling you that in the future Wyatt is the new top evil who rules the earth; should tell you how much I know the Halliwey / Wyatt family." Chris said stiffly.

"Who ARE you to my son; Chris? A loyal follower or someone he hurt?" Piper demanded.

"A loyal follower." Chris said. "I don't like evil Wyatt; Piper; that's why I came back to the past to stop Wyatt from turning evil."

"Wyatt has a good heart. But with all his powers and insight of Good and Evil he originally decided to go the evil way." Chris finished.

"I can't just believe that Wyatt would turn evil. Not with his father; his aunts and I raising him." Piper shook her head.

Chris opened his mouth when Piper suddenly looked deeply concerned. "What is it Piper?"

Mama; I want Aunt Paige. Get Aunt Paige back now. Please Mama. "Wyatt wants Paige." Piper softly said.

"Don't blame him." Chris murmured. He knew exactly how Wyatt felt.

Piper walked out of the kitchen without another word.

Chris banged his head against his right open palm as he orbed.

ﻲﻲﻲﻲﻲﻲﻲﻲﻲﻲﻲﻲﻲﻲﻲﻲﻲﻲﻲﻲﻲﻲﻲﻲﻲﻲﻲﻲﻲﻲﻲﻲﻲﻲﻲﻲ

"Stupid, stupid, stupid." Chris slapped his forehead repeating as he finished orbing into Phoebe's office.

"Whoa there nephew of mine." Phoebe said stepping up to the adult version of her second born nephew by Piper and Leo. The nephew who hasn't been conceived present time yet.

"I quite like that forehead the way it is. I don't want to see any bruise there." Phoebe said placing her hand on the hand that Chris was slapping himself with.

"Sorry; Phoebe." Chris murmured.

"That's Aunt Phoebe to you; young man." Phoebe stated.

"Sorry Aunt Phoebe." Chris mimicked Phoebe's tone.

"Wise ass." Phoebe shook her head as she went back around her desk and resumed her seat.

Chris smirked as he leaned over the desk. "You know it." He quipped back.

"Why are you stupid?" Phoebe asked.

"I almost told mom everything." Chris stood straight. "I did tell her how close I was too Wyatt."

"Minus the fact that you are Wyatt's younger brother." Phoebe stated matter of factly.

Chris rolled his eyes. "Why did you call me?" He said changing the subject.

"I'm worried." Phoebe said.

"About Aunt Paige." Chris knowing said sitting down on the couch.

"How did you know?" Phoebe blinked in surprise.

"Mom and I were just talking about Aunt Paige." Chris said wrapping his arms across his board chest.

"Oh." Phoebe said.

ﻶﻶﻶﻶﻶﻶﻶﻶﻶﻶﻶﻶﻶﻶﻶﻶﻶﻶﻶﻶﻶﻶﻶﻶﻶﻶﻶﻶﻶ

"Sweet Pea; I know you miss your Aunt Paige." Piper said after picking Wyatt up. "She'll be home after she gets off of work."

"But will she spend time with Wyatt? Or will she rush up to the attic or her bedroom." Leo said placing the newspaper down on the coffee table.

"Leo!" Piper shot a glare towards her ex – husband.

Eyes widen in shock. He wasn't shocked by Piper's reaction; he excepted it. But Wyatt shot his father an even angrier glare at him.

"All I'm tying to do is point out that lately Paige is avoiding Wyatt even more than usual." Leo said.

Wyatt frowned as the truth of what his father said hit home. He looked down and saw that there was a picture of an chipaminze on it.
