I know it's probably annoying that Paige gets hurt a lot, but she is the most curious of the sisters about the attic, therefore she gets into the most trouble. Sorry it took so long to get this chapter up, Please Review!
Phoebe knew that Paige didn't want to talk to anyone else that night, especially after the 'pep' talks from Prue and Grams. The thing that bothered her though, was that Paige didn't tell her about being her (Phoebe's) half-sister. When she saw a tall man and Grams leave the building, Phoebe followed. She hid behind a bush while they argued.
"Penny, you know I should be able to see my daughter," the guy said.
"Sam, Paige doesn't need more heartbreak," Grams said.
"Like she doesn't get any living with you?" Sam countered, "Her mother died, before she could walk, two of her sisters moved out and what's going to happen when Paige and her sisters get their powers, when you aren't around to explain them?"
"Sam, they won't know anything about magic because I'm binding their powers forever," Grams said.
"What? Penny, you can't do that it's their destiny to help the greater good," Sam said.
"They will just without magic," Penny said.
"Didn't Victor leave because he disagreed with you, that the girls should have a magic free life?" Sam questioned.
"Times have changed, haven't they?" Grams said.
"That doesn't matter, they deserve their powers, Paige's half-whitelighter, you can't hide her from her destiny," he said.
"She'll become a whitelighter in time," Grams said.
"After she died, she'll never be able to see her sisters again, she- they'll be heartbroken, let me prepare her so she doesn't have to die, she can be one now," he said.
"No," Grams said, "She won't be going home with you, she coming home with me, just like she has for the last sixteen years."
"Besides, where do you live?" Grams asked.
"I-I live at the camp," he said.
"Sam, you must agree with me, Paige can't finish growing-up there, you know why," Grams said.
"Fine but I still want to see her," he said.
"We'll see," Grams said Phoebe didn't catch the rest of the conversation because she rushed inside, just as Prue was leaving Paige's room.
"Where's Piper?" she asked.
"Cafeteria," Phoebe said. Grams entered the waiting room.
"Grams, she wants to go with him," Prue said fuming.
"Well, she won't be going with him," Grams said.
"She started arguing with me like, well like Phoebe," Prue said.
"Hey," Phoebe said standing up.
"Girls, Paige is going through a rebellious stage, is it at a bad time? Yes, we just have to get through this," Grams said, Phoebe and Prue both sat down as Grams left for Paige's room.
"So, that guy Sam? He's Paige's dad?" Phoebe asked.
"Yes, and he has in his head he's going to take Paige away," Prue said.
"What does Paige say?" Phoebe asked.
"She wants to go with him, I said she was only saying that because she hit her head but she disagrees," Prue said.
"But she's not is she?" Phoebe asked, "Leaving, that is?"
"No, we just need to get some sense in her head that's all," Prue said.
"What sense? That she wants to go with her dad?" Phoebe asked.
"Phoebe he left her, just like dad left us," Prue said, "You're not agreeing with her are you?"
"I just see why Paige wants to go home with him and not us," Phoebe said.
"Do tell little sister," Prue said.
"Well, Paige never really got to know her dad, I remember dad, just pieces of course, but what does she know?"
"Phoebe she recognized him," Prue said.
"What?"
"Yeah, so she must know him, but when did she meet him?"Prue asked. The girls sat there for a while and thought when Paige could've met him.
"Three years ago," Phoebe whispered.
"What?" Prue asked.
"Do you remember when Paige, took off when Piper was moving out?" phoebe asked.
"She was gone for hours, Piper and I couldn't find her anywhere, she came home though and refused to talk about where she had gone," Prue said. Before the sisters could continue Grams entered and said they were leaving and would be back later.
"But Grams we've only been here for a few hours," Prue said.
Paige needs to sleep, we all need to sleep," Grams said. Piper soon returned and Grams filled her in about Paige's dad coming.
"And we're leaving, what if he comes back?" Piper said.
"He won't," Grams said.
"I want to stay with Paige just in case," Piper said. Grams thought about it and gave in.
"Fine, call me if anything changes," Grams said, giving Piper a hug. Piper watched her sisters and Grams leave and she entered Paige's room. Paige was laying on the bed her back facing Piper.
"Who's there?" Paige asked, not turning around.
"Piper," Piper said as she walked over and sat across from Paige. Paige dark curls covered her eyes.
"You're not going to make me change my mind you know," Paige said.
"I know that, Grams and Prue just don't," Piper said.
"They don't understand, no one does," Paige said.
"You're right," Piper said, "No one does because you won't say anything."
"No one will listen, Prue just says I hurt my head and Grams she thinks I'm safer here," Paige said.
"I'll listen, tell me," Piper said. So Paige did, she told her everything, when she found out. How she heard Grams talking to her friends over the phone, their fight about secrets, when she found her dad, until now when she saw him again the first time in three years.
"I'm so sick of talking about me, tell me about you, about school," Paige said.
"It's almost over," Piper said.
"Nooo, really? I knew that Piper," Paige said sarcastically.
"You are so like Prue," Piper said. Paige frowned.
"You mean, hardly around, strict, over-protective Prue?" Paige asked.
"She's just looking out for you," Piper said.
"I'm sick of people looking out for me; I'm not a kid anymore, what time is it anyway?" Paige asked changing the subject.
"It's six," Piper said, she didn't want to argue all Paige needed was to rest.
"It's been six hours?" Paige said.
"I'm staying through the rest of the night," Piper said.
"When am I leaving this," Paige said motioning to the room.
"Tomorrow morning, probably around eight or nine," Piper said.
"Ugh, great," Paige said, her head flopping down on the pillow, she looked up at the ceiling.
"Look at it this way, you don't have to go to school," Piper said. Paige smiled and let out a small laugh.
"Watch Prue return home with my homework though," Paige said.
"Yes, but until then you can do what you want until school's over," Piper said.
"Like what? I probably won't be allowed out of bed," Paige said.
"I'm taking off of work that day, I don't have classes, so I can keep you company," Piper said. Paige thought about that and decided it couldn't be so bad, but the more she thought about the Manor the more she thought about the attic. She hoped Phoebe was trying to get it open.
"Ok, I'm gonna go to sleep now," Paige said turning on her side closing her eyes.
