CHAPTER EIGHTEEN

Paige grinned. "Believe it or not, our new-found nephew actually looked sheepish and admitted that you and Piper would have saved me if he didn't. Then he added that Death would still be stalking me now if I was supposed to die."

I nodded solemnly. "Like Prue."

She nodded. "Exactly like Prue. Then he begged me not to tell Leo and Piper that he lied about the Titans, because he was already in such hot water with them as it is. Phoebs, he was actually pleading with me!"

"What did you tell him?" I wanted to know.

She grinned. "I told him I should be furious, but I'm not."

I grinned, "Sure, I can imagine the romantic thoughts of Glen that are still filling your head now that you know that what he told you is real," and she nodded, grinning.

"Then he asked me if I was ready to go back, but I wanted to know why, since you guys just wanted to be with Prue."

"Not true!" I cried, although I admitted to myself that at the time, it was.

She grinned back. "Oh, yeah?" and I looked down sheepishly. "But Chris asked me what about what Prue wanted and I told him I was sure she didn't want me there either, and I started to feel sad again."

I grinned. "Right. And who sent Chris after you??"

"So that was true?" she asked in wonder. "Chris went sarcastic on me, saying, ''Oh, you are so right, That must be why Prue asked me to come get you!' but again I didn't know if he meant it."

I hugged her. "Well, trust me, sister mine, he did!"

Her face continued to glow. "Oh, that is just so cool!" and I grinned back. "So we returned to the Manor," she continued. "Only Prue and Piper were there, so we figured that you must've already left for your party," and I nodded, wishing I hadn't, even if I did have a good time being center of attention, thanks to my award.

She smiled, "Prue told me that she was glad I was back and Piper welcomed me back, too, so that made me feel better."

I hugged her tighter. "Told ya so!"

She grinned, remembering. "And Prue wanted to know what I was saying before about Richard. So I told her we weren't getting along, but that it's okay."

I grinned back. "Because you were thinking about Glen."

She nodded. "Yup!"

"And then I told them that I knew with Prue back and all, my timing sucked, but was there any chance I could move back in here, because I didn't think I'd be welcomed at Richard's anymore."

"And who told you you could?" I asked, smiling.

She grinned back. "Prue told me that of course I could. She said it instantly!"

And I grinned back. "See why we love her?"

"Yeah, I do. I do, too, now. But just when I was so happy, Piper was the voice of reason."

I nodded, since I'd already thought of that myself. "Three bedrooms; four sisters."

"Yeah," and her smile faded in memory.

"What happened?"

"Prue told me not to even worry about it, and Piper said we'd work it out. And that's when Prue asked about the extra apartment in the back at P3, so I told her that Chris is using that. Oh, Phoebs, you should've seen Chris go pale. I think he was worried that he was the one who would be kicked out. He knows his mother is still pissed at him. But he went even paler a moment later!"

"Tell me!" I cried. "Oh, Paige, tell me!"
