What I really think of you

Two weeks had past and it was time for Phoebe to come home. Paige had gone to the airport pick Phoebe up while Grams, Leo and Piper set up the Manor for her return. They had finished and were sitting in the lounge room when the door bell rang. Piper jumped up to answer it.

"Dad" she said in surprise voice while hugging him.

"What are you doing here?"

"Well I heard there was something going on here" he said tapping his face with his hand. Piper rolled her eyes

"real subtle dad come in" Piper showed her father the ring on her finger. She looked up to see her mother standing behind Victor.

"What's she doing here?" said Piper all the happiness out of her voice Leo had walked out to see what was happening he wrapped his arms around Piper when he saw Patty

"I think it best you leave" he said looking directly at her.

Victor looked at his daughter and her fiancé "Piper honey she's your mother she wants to be here" said Victor. Piper glared at her at her mother

"So she wants to be here for this but not any of Paige's birthdays after she turned three, or when we all had the chicken pox, or when grams needed her cause grandpa died, or go to any of our graduations, Prue's 21st, mine or Paige's you gate crashed Phoebe's, Prue and Andy's wedding you were a no show although she did send an invite. So what makes you think I want you anywhere near my big day?

I only want family and friends there and as far as I'm concerned you left this family when you never came back from your weekend away…yeah I remember I might have been 7 but I still noticed" said Piper her mother just looked at her in shock.

Piper knowing that look from grams continued. "You think that's shocking how about this, you know when you gate crashed Phoebe's birthday and you were talking to grams." Patty nodded.

"Paige, Phoebe and I had no idea who you were, and would not have known if Prue hadn't of told us. That's right three of you four daughters didn't even know it was you…Paige still doesn't know who you are to her your just well nothing really she has no memories of you at all. Phoebe well she has very and I mean very vague memories, I well I have a few but the one that stands out doesn't even have you in it. Want to know what it is?" Piper asked looking her mother in the eye she didn't notice Paige pull up with both Phoebe and Prue.

The three of them walked up about to give her an ear full when Piper started again. "It's of Christmas that year three weeks after you left. Paige looking all around the house, for you she wouldn't open her presents till you got there. And when she realized you weren't coming she told grams to give away the presents she got from you, a three year old said this. A kid who when you were around was always around you never leaving your side. That's shocking" said Piper she just stared at her mother there was so much hate in her eyes.

"So tell me Mother how you justify your 18 year leave, that's almost 2 decades most of Paige's life. If you want a chance with any of us find a way to rewind time and come back from that weekend." Said Piper she slammed the door in Patty's face.

Once the door was closed she fell into Leo's embrace "That took more energy then I thought it would" she said a tear ran down her cheek.

"But you showed her you don't need her, that's something even Prue wouldn't have been able to do with out cracking up" said Leo wiping away the tear. He kissed her on the head and they walked back into the lounge room.

On the out side of the door Patty turned around to see her other three daughters. Phoebe had one arm around Paige and the other holding onto her bag. Paige had her arms cross and had her head resting on Phoebe's shoulder. But it was Prue who caught Patty's attention. She had her hands on her hips with a smug look on her face.

"Maybe now you'll get the idea We don't need you, you were never there don't even start trying now" Patty turned and walked away. She looked back to see the Prue and Phoebe walk inside but Paige was walking down to her.

Patty smiled and held open her arms "Don't I'm not as nice as you may think. I just want to know why you thought you could come today" said Paige folding her arms across her chest.

"I wanted a second chance" Paige raised an eyebrow

"Second chance? You want a second chance" Paige laughed

"Are you serious who gave you the preposterous idea that you would even get a second chance?" asked Paige

"This" Patty handed Paige a crumpled envelope.

"this is Prue and Andy's wedding invitation" Patty nodded

"New flash their wedding was four years ago this invite isn't valid if you had used it then maybe but not now." Paige rolled her eyes

"but I-

"What thought you could crawl back into my good books in order to get back in the family, sorry Mummy dearest its Phoebe who's the push over not me…why am I even bothering to talk to you" Paige threw the invitation back into Patty's face and turned around she was half was up the drive way when she turned around.

"you might have given birth to me but you aren't my mother, mother's don't do that to their kids" Paige said and ran in side.
