CHAPTER THREE
SHAPE – CHANGING
"Aunt Paige is going to be so pissed once she finds out that you and mom called Mr. Cowen about getting Paige back at Social Services." Chris said with a hint of a smile.
"Why are you so happy about this?" Phoebe demanded.
"I like it when Aunt Paige is pissed. As long as it's not directed at me." Chris said with a chuckle. "Believe me I've had Aunt Paige pissed at me. It's no pretty picture."
"Tell me about it." Phoebe murmured.
"My faviote part about Aunt Paige pissed is that she comes more alive than any other time." Chris said leaning forward and placing his arms on both of his jean clad thighs. "Expect when she is loving towards me that is."
"Yes; Paige holds herself back. Expect when she lets her guard down." Phoebe sat back in the chair. "I wish Paige would allow her guard to be down all the time. Especially with Piper and I."
Phoebe thought back to when she first met Paige two and ½ years ago; at Prue's funeral. Paige was a sad; lonely and frighten little girl in a twenty four year old body. Two and ½ years later and nothing has changed.
"Give Aunt Paige time; Aunt Phoebe; in the future you know more about Aunt Paige's heart." Chris softly said.
The door banged opened.
"Phoebe; why aren't you writing your column. It's due at five pm tonight. No excuses. No extensions." Elise said frowning at the site of Phoebe Halliwey kicking back.
Phoebe sat straight in her seat. "Here's the column; Elise." She stood to her feet and leaned across the desk holding out the leaf of neatly formatted paper to her boss.
"Thank you; Phoebe." Elise said nicely surprised that Phoebe had her column done; BEFORE her deadline.
"Oh Chris; I didn't see you." Elise said finally taking note of young Perry sitting on the couch next to the door.
"Good to see you again; Elise." Chris stood to his feet with a grin.
"Break any hearts today?" Elise grinned.
"Not today. Perhaps to mower." Chris grinned.
"Perhaps." Elise quipped back.
They have done this before. I mean they are going to be doing this in the future. Phoebe was mentally confused as she had de a jou on a common event that won't take place until the future.

"Mr. Cowen; I want to apologize for my unprofessional behavior." Paige said standing to her feet. "It won't happen again. You have my word."
"Paige; it's quite all right." Sam said standing to his feet. He looked her straight in the eye. "If you need an ear; both of mine are yours."
"It won't be necessary." Paige said emotionally backing away.
"Just remember." Sam said with a slight nod of his head.
"Thank you Mr. Cowen; I will." Paige promised. "If that is all; I'll get on with the cases."
"As you were." Sam said.
Paige turned and walked out of the office feeling Sam Cowen's eyes locked firmly on her back.
I see why Piper and Phoebe were concerned. This isn't the same Paige. Sam watched as the door closed firmly behind Paige.

Paige sat down in her seat with a deep sigh. Whom should I call first? Piper or Phoebe. Piper is the oldest; but I don't want to upset Wyatt; by making his mommy upset. Paige picked the phone up. Phoebe it is than. She quickly dialed her sister's cell phone.
"Hello Paige." Phoebe said chirpy.
"How did you know it was me? I'm on the office phone." Paige hissed into the phone. She wanted to keep her voice down so her co workers wouldn't hear her.
"I still have the number programmed into my cell." Phoebe said.
"What if someone else calls you using this line?" Paige hissed.
"Nobody has a need to." Phoebe said with a light chuckle.
Paige rolled her eyes. "You very well know why I called. And it has nothing to do with this phone number and your cell phone."
Phoebe sighed. "So you are pissed."
"Damn straight I'm freaking pissed." Paige hissed gripping the phone more tightly to her ear. "How dare you and Piper interfere in my life?"
"We had to do something; Paige." Phoebe said. "If you are looking for an apolize; neither Piper nor I are going to. We did what we thought was best."
"Best for whom? The two full freaking Halliwey sisters or for the freaking half breed." Paige hissed glancing up making sure no one heard her.
"Let me tell you sister THIS half breed has had enough! ENOUGH of two controlling half sisters always in my face. ENOUGH of not having my own space. ENOUGH of having a crowd always around. I just had freaking ENOUGH!" Paige hissed into the phone.
"Paige ….." Was all Phoebe got out before Paige hung the phone up.
Paige stood to her feet and grapped her purse and headed towards the bathroom.
®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®®
Ahh shit; this is worse than Piper and I thought. I got to warn Piper. Phoebe quickly dialed the manor.
"Piper; we blew it big time." Phoebe cried into the phone.
"What do you mean?" Piper said worried by her younger sister's tone of voice.
Phoebe told Piper everything that Paige had told her.
Piper closed her eyes. "Pheebes don't worry. When Paige comes home tonight we will sit down and talk thru this."
"Are you sure Piper?" Phoebe asked the worry evident in her voice.
"Of course I'm sure." But even Piper could hear the deep worry in her voice. "Look Pheebes; I better hand up so the line will be clear for when Paige calls."
"Bye Piper." Phoebe said.
"Bye Phoebe." Piper said pushing the OFF button on the cordless.
"Should I take Wyatt up there?" Leo looked sky ward.
"No." Piper firmly said. "The Elders took you away from me; THEY can not have my son."
"I understand; Piper." Leo softly said with sadness in his eyes.
"You can take him to the nursery and put him down for his nap through." Piper said in a softer tone.
Leo picked his son up and orbed out of the family room.

Paige looked in the mirror. What she saw should have made her cringe. Her milk white skin was deeply flushed. Her chocolate brown eyes shone with unshed tears.
Paige grabbed a few paper towels and turned the tap on cold. She damped the towels quickly and brought it up to cool her heated skin.
Paige took a ragged breath and grabbed her cell phone; where she had laid it on top of the silver plated table that was against the mirror.
"Piper; what the HELL were you and Phoebe THINKING!" Paige hissed in a louder voice than the one she used with Phoebe. But she made sure that her voice was low enough so no one could hear her.
"Look; I'm not going to apolize for calling Sam Cowen. And I know you all ready spoke to Phoebe; so you know she won't apolize either." Piper said calmly.
"How about the three of us sit down together over dinner and discuss this." Piper said.
"Seeing how you all ready spoke with Phoebe; which is not all surprising." Paige said this last sentence sacastary.
"Paige; we weren't talking behind your back! Phoebe just called me because she was exasmly worried." Piper soothing said.
"Save that voice for Wyatt; Piper. He after is your son. I'm just your sister. Half sister at that." Paige raised her voice but than lowered it again. "Half Breed." She hissed holding the phone tightly against her all ready red ears.
"Paige." Piper whispered.
"I'm nothing to you Piper Halliwey. I'm just an inconvenience that you have to put up with to continue to be on the strong end in the fight against evil.
"I'm just the bastard child that your mother unfortuanaly had when she cheated on your father. I'm the reason why your mother died." Paige angrily said.
"Paige …. " Piper tried to break in.
"If PRU; your full blooded sister hadn't died than you wouldn't have to put up with me. Why if I found you; Phoebe; and Prue than I'm sure half sister of mine; you would have no problem with turning your back on me!"
"STOP IT PAIGE MATTHEWS!" The tearful voice of Piper screamed on her end of the phone.
Paige blinked. "I'm done; Piper. I'm done playing distant second fiddle to Prue. I'm done being a half breed unwelcome in her natural family. I'm done living with the Halliwey sisters. I'm done living full time at the manor. I'm DONE." Paige whispered.

"Paige …." Piper said with tears coursing down her checks. The hum of the dial tone ranged in her ears.
Piper dropped the phone as she sat down on the couch. She bent over as heart wrenching sobs over came her.
Leo orbed into the room. "Piper what is it?"
Before Piper could speak; Wyatt orbed on the couch close to his mother.
Piper sat back and allowed Wyatt to crawl into her lap. She wrapped her arms around her son and pulled him closer to her.
"Paige is leaving." Piper chocked.
"Give her time to cool off." Leo gently advised.
"Paige isn't just leaving the manor; Leo; she's leaving the family." Piper said with fresh tears running down her checks.
Eyes wide Leo knew that this was more serious than he originally thought.
Not if I have anything to say about it. With that Wyatt pictured the chipaminze picture he earlier saw to the mental image of his Aunt Paige. His Aunt Paige shaped changed into the chipaminze in his mind.
