17. Paige the whitelighter and her charge
TWO WEEKS LATER
Everything was back to normal in the Halliwell Manor. Or as normal as it could be for the Halliwells. The youngest member of them was never left alone. Every other day Chris was with his dad at Magic School or with his mom at P3 or at home. All could see that it annoyed him and often they found him sitting sulking. He couldn't understand them and looked for help at his older brother who only shook his head laughing.
Paige knew one day Chris would explode and might orb away from them. The youngest Charmed One sighed. The Elders had given her a charge so she could now work as a whitelighter as well. But everytime she looked at her the witch had to shake her head. Before she made herself known the young brunette observed the blond witch.
She acted like the three dumb Blondies that had taken over as the Power of Three over a year ago, but her nephew saved them, because he knew his mother and aunts too well. The Elders had told Paige that teenage witch's name is Billie Jenkins and that she's looking for her younger sister Christy who was kidnapped at a young age.
Paige saw Billie's action and fighting style was guided by her emotions. As the demons the young witch was attacking took over the youngest Charmed One decided to walk in. At the last minute she could save her. But the blond complained immediately.
"What are you doing? I wanted to ask them about my sister!" Billie yelled furious.
"I know that. My name's Paige Matthews. I'm your whitelighter." Paige hold out her hand what the teenage witch hesitantly took.
"What did I do to deserve such a honor? Be guided from a Charmed One?"
"Well," Paige started. "I'll take you with me. To the Manor. My sisters can teach you more than myself."
Billie nodded and let her being taken to the famous Halliwell Manor.
AT THE BAY MIRROR
Phoebe was working. At least that's what she thought she was doing. Her little nephew was saved. Once again by his older brother. The boys had proven more than once that they would save each other anytime. She was glad at that fact.
Last time Wyatt had needed the help from a man who was a cupido. He was interesting. Tall, good-looking and athletic. The middle sister wondered if it was even allowed. A relationship between a witch and a cupido? The brunette witch found herself falling in love with Coop. She wanted to see him again. But how could she do that?
Never mind. It was time to go home. Her nephews were waiting for her. Although she knew Chris was never left alone what annoyed him endless. But it was understandable. Everyone was after him or his brother, so the boys needed the protection of their family. The Power of Three.
AT THE MANOR
Leo and Piper never left their little boy alone. He was either with his daddy at Magic School or with his mommy at her club or here. The parents knew it was annoying him, but hey. He was a target for all the evil down in the Underworld. Like his older brother.
Chris sat on the floor sulking. His parents, aunts and brother took him everywhere where they were. He had looked for help at his older brother who only laughed at his discomfort. His auntie Phoebe had also returned home. With some difficulties the little brunette stood up and walked over to his family.
"Me – be alone," he pointed to himself. "Can take care of me!"
Wyatt came over. "I know, bro. But you are too young. Just a bit than one year."
Chris began to cry. "Thought .. you .. helping me!" With tears in his eyes he orbed away.
"CHRIS!" came a cry from nearly everyone.
At this precise moment Paige orbed in with Billie. Immediately she recognized the scared faces of Leo, Piper and Phoebe. Wyatt held the same gaze.
"What's going on?" she asked. "Where's Chris?"
"He's gone," Piper sobbed in her husband's chest. "He orbed away from us."
"I thought that was going to happen."
"How do you mean?" Leo questioned while he saw Wyatt sensing for his younger brother.
"After Zankou and the Avatars he was never alone, but even as a child he needs his freedom."
"Aunt Paige, who's this?" Wyatt wanted to know after finding his brother on his radar. Now he only needed his parents to come with him as well.
"Oh my charge Billie. But now get your brother back!" Paige encouraged. Her older sister agreed.
Wyatt walked over to his parents, took their hands and orbed them to the only place he and his little brother liked. Like their dad before.
TOP OF THE GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE
Chris sat alone on the top beam. He was thinking and still sulking. The little boy was disappointed with his older brother, because he always thought Wyatt would protect him and not help his parents. After a while he could hear orbs and guessed it was only his family.
Leo slowly walked over to his youngest child who still sobbed a bit. That he could see at his body jerking. "Chris, we're sorry. We're just afraid of loosing you."
The brunette boy looked up. "Me – sorry. Want my space."
Wyatt came over and hugged his little brother. His blue eyes looked into the green ones of his brother. "Chris, we nearly lost you twice. We're just protecting you by holding you close."
Piper went to her little son. "Chris, we love you. Please believe us. All we've done was only for your protection. And Wyatt's as well. We love you."
Her little boy gazed long at each one. He slowly understood them and so the little male witch took his brother's and mother's hand standing in the middle. With just a look at his older brother Wyatt did it with their father's hand as well. Piper and Leo smiled, the boys grinned and the family orbed home.
BACK AT THE MANOR
Phoebe and Paige were nervous while Billie stood aside. The aunts were afraid. Chris already showed habits like his older self, but that didn't matter right now. He should be back in their safe strong embrace.
Both were relieved as they saw a clouding orb from what Piper, Leo, Wyatt and Chris emerged. Immediately the aunts hugged and kissed the little boy what made him giggle. The family was complete again. Except of the stranger in their middle.
The little brunette witch stared at this strange blond woman. Chris scrutinized her with his looks what confused all but Wyatt. There was something odd in and about this young woman. As one of his active powers kicked in the younger boy hid behind his older brother what caused him to raise his forcefield.
"Wyatt, it's my charge. I told you before," Paige spoke to the boys. But Chris shook his head and Wyatt trusted his brother. The youngest Charmed One looked for help at her sisters and brother-in-law.
Wyatt took his brother's hand and Chris took the hint. "Daddy, don't like her," the little boy said. "Wanna sleep now."
"Of course," the father kissed his son. "Wyatt, bring him to bed and stay with him." His oldest son nodded. "We're dealing with her." Both boys orbed in their room before going to sleep.
The man stood close to his wife, sisters-in-law as they observed the young blond witch. All had learnt to trust their little boy.
"OK, what do you want to know? I don't like to be scrutinized over and over again," Billie protested violently.
"Your name and your purpose for being here?" Piper, the eldest, questioned.
"My name is Billie Jenkins and I'm looking for my sister Christy. She was kidnapped as a child. Paige is my whitelighter she said," the blond woman said nervously. These were the Charmed Ones after all.
"We're going to help you, but don't come closer to my boys!" Piper and Leo went upstairs. To also get some sleep.
Phoebe and Paige took care of Billie and decided to let the young witch know some of their wiccan knowledge. They know Piper would be against it but go till some point. Chris was a member of their family and both knew they should trust him.
Billie was grateful that at least two Charmed Ones would help her, but she needed all if she wanted her sister back. With Phoebe and Paige she went to the attic but not before looking with hate towards the boys' room.
The sisters noticed but said nothing. Piper joined her sisters with a suspicious look at Billie. Leo was sleeping with his sons, but she couldn't. Something was definitely wrong here but all played their roles.
TBC ...
