The Power of Four- a new beginning
"I do", chapter fourteen
Phoebe smiled at her few hours old girl who was lying wide awake staring at her mother. Cole sat beside them on the bed. "She´s so beautiful," he muttered. "I can´t believe she´s ours." Phoebe smiled. "We did good, didn't we?" He nodded.
The newborn yawned and blinked. "Are you begin to get tired, sweetie?" Cole asked and the baby blinked. "I´ll take that as a yes," he smiled. "We need to find a name for her," Phoebe stated suddenly. "Any ideas?" Cole thought for a while. "Actually I have an idea," he said. "It´s just for her middle name." Phoebe groaned as she sat up and Cole hurried to help her get better seated.
He smiled at her and she returned it. "I wanted to say I´m sorry," Phoebe said quietly. Cole gave her a surprised look. "For what, sweetie?" "For saying all that bad stuff when I was in labor." She looked down quite ashamed but Cole just smiled. "It´s okay."
His eyes turned more serious. "Do you want to hear the name?" he asked and Phoebe nodded. "Of course. I just needed to say it before I forget." Cole nodded. "I want to name her after Paige," he said. "You know, her middle name." He gestured at the baby and Phoebe felt her eyes water. "You do? Me too," she said. "Then that´s settled." He said. "Then what about her first name?" Cole asked. Phoebes eyes got a puzzled look. "I have an idea," she said. "What about: Phonix? Like the bird?" Cole thought for a moment. "Phonix Paige Halliwell-Turner? I like it," he stated. "Or do you want it to be Turner-Halliwell?" Phoebe shook her head. "The first is the best."
Cole nodded. "Should I get them?" he asked her but Phoebe shook his head. "I don't think you need to," she smiled. "isn´t that right?" she added out loud and the door flew open. "We weren't listening," Piper exclaimed but Phoebe just giggled and shook her head. "You can´t fool me."
"Aw," Paige was staring at the little girl. "She´s so cute." Piper smiled. "She sure is." "Can I hold her?" Paige asked, almost in a childlike voice and Phoebe smiled. "Of course," she handed her girl to her baby sister.
"I think this would be a good time to pronounce her name," Cole said and Phoebe nodded. Prue clapped her hands which made Phanessa who was sitting on her fathers arm squeal out in delight. She was about 6 months old now and a real charmer. She had her mothers hair and eyes but her fathers calm state of mind. At lest that's what everybody thought.
Pandora was in her fathers arms. She was just four months old and found out she had hands and feet. The most of the time she had her hands in her mouth, chewing on them. She had her mothers raven black hair and blue eyes but she had her fathers eye shape. Being just for months everybody had been rather impressed at her very powerful gift. She had the power of force waves. A wave of energy which could blow things of their feet. She had done it the first time because she got real excited and waved her hands mad. Her parents had been really proud.
"We decided to give her the middle name of her very brave aunt," Phoebe said gently smiling at Paige. The aunt in question got tears in her eyes smiling down at the girl in her arms. "And we decided to keep the P thing going."
"Everyone," Cole said in a proud tone. "Allow me to introduce the news addition to the Halliwell clan: Phonix Paige Halliwell-Turner." Everybody clapped and soon the rest of the family wanted to hold Phonix. After a while Cole made everybody leave even though he had to drag Piper and Prue out the door because Phoebe and Phonix were beginning to yawn a lot.
"Finally," the new mother exclaimed as her new fiancé closed the door. "Don't get me wring," she continued. "I love my family but this time I wished I was the one with the telekinetic powers so I could throw them out." She yawned and Cole took Phonix from her. "I´ll put her in her crib," he said and gently placed her in the new bed. He tugged her in and smiled as his daughter blinked at him before closing her eyes.
"I´m so sleepy," his soon to be wife stated and Cole climbed into bed with her. She snuggled into his chest and he kissed her gently. "Thank you for her," he whispered and Phoebe shook her head. "No," she argued. "Thank YOU for her." Cole smiled. "Maybe we could just agree on this," he said. "We thank each other for her." Phoebe giggled but it turned into a yawn. "Yeah," she muttered. Soon after Cole could hear her breath get deeper and he new she was sleeping. He kissed her and soon after he joined her in her dreams.
Paige couldn't sleep. She turned so she was facing her fiancé, Kyle. He was fast asleep. He had told her about his need to rage and they had cried together. Before falling asleep he had asked her to marry him, again and she had said yes, again.
They decided to speed up the process and get married soon. He had laughed and told her that the baby would be getting bigger so it had to be sooner than 8 months away and she had giggled.
Sighting she sat up and orbed out. Reappearing in the kitchen figured she wanted something to smooth her mind. She found some milk and a pan to warm it. She began stirring the milk and allowed her mind to wander. A swirl of lights interrupted her thoughts and she gasped as she stared into the eyes of her late mothers. Patty Halliwell and Catherine Matthews (I don't know what Paiges adoptive mother or father was called so I have made the names up. Her mother will be Catherine Matthews and her father Brian Matthews) The women smiled through their tears and Paige flew into the waiting arms of her adoptive mother. She sobbed and Catherine gently stroke her hair. Patty smiled sadly as she realized for the first time how lucky she had been giving her youngest daughter up, a thing so heartbreaking, had turned out so good. She began stirring the milk and watch as her daughter was comforted by the woman she had always known as mother.
After a while Paige released Catherine and embraced Patty. This time Catherine was the one thinking about how lucky she had been to get this wonderful girl. She poured the milk into a cup and found some honey to add. Then she gave it to Paige who gratefully sipped the milk.
The three women sat down by the kitchen table. "Why are you here?" Paige asked in a quiet voice. Patty took one of her hands. "We heard what has happened to you," she simply said. Paige felt her eyes tear up. Catherine tried to blink her own tears away. "We´re here to give you our support because we sense you need it right now." Paige nodded.
"I-I just feel so strange," she muttered. Patty gestured for her to continue. "I´m so happy Phoebe finally had her daughter and that I´m pregnant with mine and Kyles baby but still I can´t help feeling sad because I miss this baby I never got to know," Paige explained while taking another sip of her milk.
"I know, sweetie," Catherine said gently. "But you´re strong. Stronger than that bastard who did this to you. You can do this." Paige looked down. "I don´t know," she confessed. "I don´t like this feeling inside of me." Patty took her other hand too. "Don't give up," she exclaimed. "Then he would have won." Sighting Paige rubbed her eyes. "I just don't know how to handle this."
"No one does, honey" Catherine told her daughter. "But you´re doing it right now. And trust me," she said. "It will get better. Not right away but little by little it will." Catherine sighted deeply. "Besides I think you´re lucky" Paige narrowed her eyes opening her mouth to give an angry reply. "No," her mother exclaimed stopping her. "Not getting raped. Never that, sweetie. But you lived. You have a new family now. You´re stronger because of it and you defend the weaker ones now. And soon," she smiled caressing Paiges belly. "Soon you will be a mother and that changes everything."
Paige was in tears. "I love you mommy," she whispered because she was right. Of course she was lucky. Not getting raped, that was the worst experience in her life but she had a family who stayed with her through the pain and a loving boyfriend and soon a little girl would be hers too. Patty and Catherine gave each other a look.
"Sweetie, it´s time for us to go," Patty said. Paige shook her head. "I don't want you to leave," she whispered. Patty caressed her cheek. "I know honey, but we will see each other soon." Swallowing her tears Paige waved to her two mothers who disappeared in white swirls.
Sighting Paige orbed out and into her bed room. Kyle was still sleeping and Paige climbed in with him. As soon as she settled Kyle reached out to her and pulled her closer to him. She smiled in the dark as she closed her eyes and for the first time in so long she was at peace with everything that had happened.
Opening her eyes for one last time that night she gazed into the ceiling. "I love you baby," she whispered and then fell asleep.
"I think you should go and see a doctor," Kyle said caressing her belly that morning. It was about one month and two weeks after Phonix had been born and Paige was now 2 and half months pregnant. Paige nodded thoughtfully. "Why?" she asked. Kyle sighted. "I just wanna make sure you´re okay," he explained. "Besides you told me that you didn't show that early before," he paused but Paige smiled at him. "It´s okay. We can talk about her," she said.
Caressing her belly she smiled. "I´ll get an appointment as soon as possible. Standing up she walked out into the hallway. "I assume you wanna be there to the first scanning of our baby?" she asked over her shoulder, smiling and as she expected Kyle exclaimed an excited yes.
"Will you sit still," Paige hissed out between her teeth. Kyle froze in his spot and gave her a ´I´m sorry´-look. Paige smiled. "Relax," she whispered. "It will be okay."
Kyle was nervous. He and Paige were at the doctor to get an ultrasound of the baby inside Paige. Paige took his hand and kissed it. "She´ll be fine." Kyle gave her a surprised look. "How do you know it´s a girl?" he asked. "Well, because girls are the most typical in the Halliwell-line," she stated. "Besides," she added, grinning. "I have a feeling."
The door into the examination room opened and a nurse poked her head out. "Miss Matthews?" she called and Paige stood up. "That´s me," she stated and followed her into the room together with Kyle.
"You can change in there," the nurse said smiling at her. "The doctor will be here in a few moments." Paige wrinkled at Kyle and went to change while he studied the room.
Paige can out dressed in a white hospital shirt and her normal pants. There was a knock on the door and a female poked in her smiling head. "Hey there," she smiled. "I´m your doctor. Dr. Johansson," she introduced herself and pointed at the nurse who showed them in. "That´s my nurse, nurse Jamison." The nurse waved and shook hands with them both.
"Now," the doctor said. "You lie up on the bed and then we will take a look." Paige jumped up and the bed and lifted her shirt. "This will feel a little cold," she told Paige before applying a clear gel. Placing the ultrasound on Paiges belly she began to search for the child.
"This is your first baby?" she asked and Kyle nodded. "Well, Paige was been pregnant before but lost it." He said and Dr. Johansson gave Paige a sympathetic smile. "I´m so sorry," she said but Paige shook her head. "It´s okay," she said. "Now I have a new one and this time it´s planned."
"So," the nurse asked. "How far along are you?"
"About 2 and half months," Paige answered staring at the screen trying to make out her baby. "Really?" the nurse said. "You look like you´re in your fourth month." Paige giggled. "Yeah. Which is strange since I didn't get this big last time."
"May I ask what happened?" the nurse said and Paige nodded. She shortly explained about the rape and the abortion and Kyle could feel how angry the women got. Kyle gave Paige a reassuring smile and Paige smiled back. "I thought I might be important you knew that," she said and the nurse nodded. "It´s good."
"Aha," the doctor grinned. "I found it." Kyle and Paige turned to the screen. "And I know why you´re that big," she smiled. "Why?" Kyle asked and the doctor grinned.
"You´re expecting twins."
"Twins?" both Paige and Kyle exclaimed.
"Twins?" Piper said in surprise and Paige giggled. "There are two in there?" Paige laughed and caressed her belly. "That´s why my belly is so big already." Prue nodded. "Makes sense you know," she said. "I did wonder how come you were that big already. I mean you look like you´re in your fourth month."
"Congratulations," Phoebe squealed and hugged her sister. "Thanks," Paige smiled. "So," Kyle said. "We have decided to throw the wedding as soon as possible."
The room was quiet before Piper, Prue and Phoebe screamed out in joy and began bombarding Paige with questions. Kyle sighted. "I don't think you have to worry about planning this wedding," Cole stated dryly. "The sisters will do it for ya," Leo added and Kyle sighted again. "What have I gotten myself into," he mumbled before laughing out loud.
"I can´t believe it," Paige exclaimed while caressing her five and half months large belly. It was four months after Phonix had been born and everything was going well. She and Piper had planned hers and Kyles wedding and now it was the day she had been waiting for.
Her dress was hanging in the closet, her hair had curls in it and Prue had picked up all the guys tuxes last night.
With a loud bang the door flew open and Piper, Phoebe and Prue came running in with their girls. Phanessa was now 10 months old and was crawling away. Pandora was 8 months and learning to crawl. Phonix was 4 months old and kept her parents busy by shimmering all over the house if she got bored or if she wanted attention.
"Yay," Phoebe cried and threw herself and Phonix on the bed. The little girl smiled as she saw her auntie Paige. Paige smiled at her too and giggled. "It´s you wedding day," Piper exclaimed and hugged her after placing Pandora and Phanessa on her bed besides Phonix. Prue placed a tray with a rose, juice, green tea, toasted bread, jam, grapes, salty crackers, butter, pancakes with syrup and coffee on the bed. Paige giggled at the sight. "If I eat all that I won´t be able it fit inside my dress."
Prue rolled her eyes and said: "Well then I guess its good you have three hungry sisters who will eat with you." Paige smiled. "Do we have the time?" and Piper nodded. "Leo´s handling Kyle. Cole and Bane is helping Grams with the chairs and tables and well," she stopped smiling. "And I´m making you a hot bath," a known voice said. Paige smiled through her tears as Catherine came into the room followed by a man who was smiling all over his face.
"Daddy," Paige cried and Brian Matthews hugged his daughter. "Paige! I´m so happy to be here and see this day," he said. "And I´m happy to see you with your adoptive parents," another voice said and this time Paige wasn't the only one smiling through her tears. Patty Halliwell poked in her head too and giggled as her daughters flew at her side.
"Eat up, honey" Catherine said before leaving the room. Paige ate the last piece of pancake and raced after her mother. Prue picked up Pandora. "Let´s go get ready, honey so we can help auntie Paige get ready to get married after her bath, huh?" she asked her daughter who just giggled in return. Phoebe took Phonix with her and Piper left with Phanessa. Patty smiled and left with them.
Brian sighted. His little girl was getting married. He left and went down to the basement to say hallo to Kyle, the man who was gonna take his little girl away from him.
Fresh and clean Paige stepped into her bed room smiling at her three sisters. "Where are the girls?" she asked them.
"They are with the grandparents," Piper giggled. "You should have seen your father as Phanessa threw a lightning after Leo because she wasn't getting enough attention." Paige shook her head, smiling.
"Let´s get you ready," Phoebe said picking up a brush and hair needles. She created a beautiful bun on Paiges head, using the curls to shape it. Then Piper came in and placed the veil on her head. Prue helped into her wedding dress which was a off white wedding gown. It was a layered dress which meant it had a white dress and three see-though-white layers over it. It had one strap to go around her left arm to give it a goddess-like look.
Phoebe and Prue helped each other to create a dusty light brown make up with red lips.
Then Piper pulled out a green box. She pulled out a silver tiara with little blue gems in it. She placed in Paiges hair. "This is something old and something blue," she stated pressing it down firmly. "It belonged to your adoptive mothers mother apparently."
Prue pulled out a beautiful set a silver earrings shaped as a tornado. "This is something new," she smiled.
"And this is something borrowed," Phoebe said helping Paige into a pair of white long-sleeved glows. "There mine," she whispered into Paiges ear before kissing her cheek.
Ready she turned to the mirror smiling. "I feel beautiful," she muttered and a voice said behind her. "And that you are." Her adoptive father came in and offered her his arm. "They are playing your song" he smiled. "I´ll be the one to give you away. Just like I always wanted." Paige blinked away her tears. "I love you daddy. Now and always."
Brian smiled and then he led his daughter down the stairs and into her marriage.
The ceremony was short but beautiful. Grams preformed the ceremony and Leo created the same lights as he did at his and Pipers wedding.
Phanessa was dressed in a light green dress which matched the darker green dress Piper was wearing. Pandora was cute in her pink dress and Prue was stunning in her red dress. Phonix was dressed in a light blue dress and Phoebe in a bright blue dress.
Paige smiled as she realized they had the chosen the colors of their elements to wear while they were dancing.
That night Paige and Kyle went to bed late. It had been a lovely evening. There had been lots of great food, made by Piper, to eat. People had been dancing and had loads of fun and Paige herself hadn't thought about her attack all day long.
Sighting she snuggled closer to Kyle. "Goodnight, my husband," she whispered and Kyle smiled and kissed her hair. "Sweet dreams my beloved wife."
Aww, mush. I love it when it all turns out for the best anyways. Next chapter will include a very big change in the story so stay tuned. I hope you think I rounded the whole Paige thing up nicely and remember I´ll properly return to that story line sooner or later.
Lastly I´d like to stress once again that the time line for twins is totally made up. I couldn't find anything online to help me and I was in a hurry.
Review please, so I´ll know what you think. Just don't use any flames cause I can´t do anything about them anyways. TTFN
