Paige was turning a page in The Book of Shadows. She was currently reading a spell that can slow down time, but it was a temporary fix. She wasn't sure what to do. Piper and Prue were at the hospital visiting Phoebe. Paige didn't want to go, she always made a excuse she had some Underworld emergency. She hated hospitals. It reminded her of her parents.

She was a rebellious teenager. Always breaking the rules, always talking back and generally being very unpleasant to be around. At the time she thought her parents were so strict and unfair, and often blamed them for everything. She thought back when she screamed at her adopted mom that she was not her mom, but her fake mom. Those words haunted Paige since. That evening her and her parents were in a fatal car crash. Her dad was killed instantly, and her mom was sent to the hospital in critical condition. Paige was miraculously not hurt, she was thrown from the car.

When the paramedics came, they made her ride in the ambulance as a precautionary measure. After she was cleared to go, she stayed at the ICU with her mom for three days. She refused to leave her mom's side, and slept on the chair. Her mom's parents had flown in and made the agonizing decision to turn off the machines. Paige hadn't cried. She felt like it was her fault. Her and her parents were arguing in the car about her grades, her dad got distracted and the semi hit them.

Right before the machines were turned off, she thought she saw a figure in white. She thought it was a angel, but it was actually her mom's reaper. Her reaper, who's name was Billie, had come to collect Lisa Matthews soul. Paige at the time didn't know what she was, but Gabriel later told her it was a special class of angels, a reaper.

Her parents were buried in their hometown. Her mom's organs were donated before she passed away, per her wishes. Paige never cried once. Not even at the funerals. She was too numb. It wasn't until she was sent to her grandparent's house that she cried. She felt tremendous guilt for her parents deaths, and blamed herself for years. No doctor could convince her it wasn't her fault, the semi had faulty breaks. It wasn't until she dreamed about a mysterious woman that told her her parents never blamed her. She didn't know who she was, not until years later. It was a ghost of her biological mother, Patty Halliwell, who came to her in a dream.

She met her sisters by chance, DNA ancestry kits were a new thing. She was in her senior year at UC Berkeley, attending a party celebrating the after finals. Her girlfriends and dorm mates has given her a a DNA kit as a goof present to find out if she was descended from royalty since she was adopted. At the time, drunk as she was laughed it off. It wasn't until two years later she was at home somewhere in Oregon bored with her life. She had a decent job as a middle age school counsellor, but was usually alone with most of her college buddies cast to the winds across the country. She was flipping channels on her television when she saw a advertisement for a DNA familiarity kit. Remembering her present from back then, and curious about who she really was, spit in the tube and mailed it out.

Six to eight weeks later her results came back. She came home stressed out and bored from her job and was pleasantly surprised to see a brown envelope in the mail. She wasn't expecting to see anything, except to see if she needed to do a background medical check on herself just in case, but when she saw her results she was speechless. The test has shown she had some European ancestry, along with a blood relative dating back to the east coast to Salem, Massachusetts dating back to the 1600s. The test also showed she had a second ancestor with ties to California. But it was the results that showed she had living blood relatives in San Francisco, that surprised Paige. With that knowledge, Paige didn't know what to think.

She bribed a nerdy guy who had a crush on her to do a background test on those possible relatives. He revealed that their names were the Halliwells. Their names Prue, Piper and Phoebe. She was very curious to know about those women and did a internet search on all three. Prue, the oldest was a art dealer working in a prestigious art gallery, Piper was a chef working in a popular restaurant, and Phoebe was a advice columnist for a newspaper. She was overwhelmed at the news and didn't know what to do. She thanked the guy, and sent him on his way. It took her weeks to decide what to do, then after hearing about a near fatal explosion on the Halliwell manor, she emailed the editor of the newspaper and asked for Phoebe's work email to ask a question. The editor was hesitant, due to privacy laws, but unbeknownst to him a Whitelighter changed his mind by whispering in his consciousness. He then sent Paige Phoebe's personal work email.

Paige was scared on what Phoebe would say on knowing that she can be blocked and sent a restraining order against her, but Phoebe emailed her back. After asking some questions they then went and started a video chat. Phoebe was unsure what to think of the woman who was talking to her, but after awhile they were talking like old friends. Paige, to her credit had sent her pictures of her DNA results to Phoebe, and Phoebe after looking at them concluded that they had the same female ancestor. Her name was Melinda Warren, who did live in the town of Salem who had a daughter. She was burned at the stake after being accused of being a witch. Phoebe then asked cautiously if she believed in magic, and Paige not thinking (she was too excited on possibly talking to a long lost sister) moved a object with her mind.

Paige regretted it immediately. She was very sure that Phoebe will hang up her her for being a crazy woman, but when she looked at Phoebe, her eyes were wet. Phoebe had asked her to come to San Francisco to meet her and her sisters. Paige was so happy, she immediately took some time off from her job and flew to San Francisco the next night. When she arrived there, there was a driver there that had her name on a poster board. She was instructed to follow him to a park. When she arrived, she met two others who introduced themselves as Prue and Piper. Phoebe was already there, telling her sisters there may be another Halliwell Charmed one. Prue was suspicious, as well as Piper. They encountered fakes before, including demons and warlocks plotting to kill the Charmed ones and taking their powers for themselves, and were there as backup just in case.

When Paige arrived, she was shy when she encountered the three sisters. But unknown to all of them, they were attacked by demonic forces. The Halliwells put up a fight, but were overwhelmed by a a number of monsters that were attacking them and forgot about Paige. Phoebe had yelled at Piper to freeze the demon where it sent a deadly orb that could have killed Paige if Paige hadn't orbed away by accident. After Prue and Piper had destroyed them using their powers and magic bags, all four just stared at each other not knowing what to do. It was a vision that Phoebe had from her long dead grandmother and mom that told her that everyone needed to be at the manor at once.

Paige caught a ride with everyone, the sisters didn't want to leave a innocent behind. Paige was in disbelief, she didn't know what to think.

"Who are you people? What were those things?"

"Long story." How were they going to explain this?

She discovered magic after her sixteenth birthday but was afraid to use them. She was sure she was cursed by using her powers to conjure objects from her mind, and when her parents died a year later refused to use them since. The orbing herself was new to her. She never been able to travel before.

Prue didn't know what to think, was she related to Leo, their old friend and guardian, and Piper's ex? She hoped not, then that would have meant Piper and him...Then the spiritual ghosts of Patty and her grandmother, Penelope "Penny" Halliwell have arrived before Prue could finish her thoughts. Both have explained that Patty and her Whitelighter guardian had a secret affair that resulted in Paige's birth. Paige's powers and teleporting has come from both her parents.

Patty was happy to finally be reunited with her long lost daughter and was overwhelmed by happiness. She had told a stunned Paige that back then it was forbidden that a Whitelighter and their charges to be romantically involved. Their forbidden union has resulted on Patty being pregnant and resulted in a baby girl who Patty and her mother felt like it would be in the child's best interests to be hidden away, knowing they would be severely punished by the Elders. The only thing that they asked for is the baby's name start in a 'P'. Baby P was left in a church where a nun found her and she was later adopted by the Matthews who named her Paige.

Penny had also told Paige of her Whitelighter background and explained how they worked. Paige was overwhelmed by the news and wanted to be alone, but her now - new family had told her that it was unwise since the Underworld may be after her due to her magical and heavenly background since their enemies can see Paige as a 'inside' to their evil plans. Phoebe, Prue and Piper went up to her and hugged her, happy that their was a new member of their household. Paige, after recovering from the news, hugged them back and attempted to hug her bio mom and grandmother, but couldn't. After the laughter and tears, Patty and Penny have declared that Paige is the Forth Charmed One. Piper had asked why they needed to be four. But no one at the time knew, they figured it could have been meant to be. Not till after Hell had opened and things got very crazy, that they figured all their powers can be combined. Then a few years later Creation itself was being destroyed, but that was another story.

Paige just sighed and closed the book. She was tired. She travelled all over the world looking for answers, but found none. Her sisters also tried, finding nothing. They went to every magical resource they could find, but found zilch. Paige tuned in to the heavens seeing if there was any news, not surprisingly there was none. She asked her good friend Archangel Michael for advice, she had his number.

Their friendship started after Michael had come to Earth to visit Jack and bumped into Paige. Paige was in the area looking for a object and Michael had crashed into her after she finished orbing. It was tense for awhile, both were arguing who was there first. Jack flew over hearing Michael's swears and suggested that both settle their differences over chess, it was one of his favorite games; he and Castiel played on a regular basis.

Both had talked about her being a half breed Whitelighter and human, and she asked Michael if she was the same as Jack, a Nephilim. He had said they were similar but different. All Whitelighters were human souls given Heaven's power. A Nephilim was a offspring of a angel and a human. They ended up becoming friends after awhile and Paige found herself developing a crush on Michael. But it was Michael's vessel that was she was attracted too, not Michael. But over time, ended up liking Michael himself, but knew that relationship would go nowhere.

She knew she had to visit Phoebe, but was hesitant. Phoebe had a mental breakdown after her last vision and her sisters had checked her in a mental hospital to calm her down. They then asked Michael to bound Phoebe's magic. It was necessary, Phoebe couldn't risk exposure in her present mental state. Michael agreed but handed the task to Raphael, who used to be a Healer of Heaven before getting the job of the Scribe after Metatron left. Raphael had instructed the Elders to do the task, so they did. Phoebe had calmed down, but was still frightened of everyone and anything and spent most of her time in her room singing lullabies.

Her doctor recommended she stay for a few months. The sisters knew they didn't know how much time they had and were getting worried. Prue and Piper came to visit everyday, but Paige always made excuses. She knew that her bullshit excuses were running out and her sisters were getting impatient. So she asked her parents for advice.

Prue had come home and tired of Paige's excuses, stormed upstairs to drag her to the hospital but stopped when she heard voices coming from the attic. She cautiously sneaked upstairs and took a peak at the attic's steps and saw a couple hugging Paige. She figured it was her long dead parents and quietly went downstairs to wait for her sister. Paige had come downstairs a few minutes later her cheeks wet with tears. She was happy. She told Prue her parents never blamed her and were proud of her. She asked Prue for a ride, Prue gladly obliged.
