Chapter 1: Catching Up

Paige groggily descended the stairs of the manor with a yawn. She scratched her messy medium length black widow hair and attempted to actually open her eyes. Saturday mornings are not Paige’s best days. The doorbell rang once again.

“I’m coming, I’m coming!” Paige called through the door as she opened it. The sun’s rays were too strong for her since she just woke up a minute ago. Paige put up her hand and squinted to see who it was.

“Are you Miss Matthews?” A male voice asked.

“Uh, yeah. Who’s asking?” Paige asked curiously.

“I’m here on behalf of Officer Morgan. I was going through his files and found that he was doing a guardian inspection in this household. It seems to me that I’m going have to take you and your sisters with me Miss Matthews.” The officer grabbed Paige by the arm and pulled her out of the manor.

“What? Wait!” Paige squealed wide awake now.

“Excuse me, what do you think you’re doing?” Another male voice asked from inside the doorway.

“Who are you?” The officer asked looking at the man suspiciously.

“I’m her father, Sam. May I ask why you are rough handling her?” Sam asked coming out and releasing the officer’s grip on Paige’s arm.

“I’m sorry, sir. But in the files it says her parents died and she is living with her sisters only.” The officer said reaching for Paige again. Sam grabbed the officer’s hand before he even touched Paige.

“No, I’m sorry. I think you need to update your files. I am Paige’s BIRTH father and we recently rediscovered eachother. Now I have adopted her sisters and they are living under my guardianship. SO, I would appreciate it if you would leave our property and leave my daughter alone.” Sam argued in a fatherly tone.

“Pardon, my rudeness sir. I didn’t know. This will never happen again.” The officer mumbled as he turned on his heel and headed towards his squad car. Paige giggled as she turned to Sam.

“Wow, you sure told him, Pops.” Paige said nudging Sam with her elbow.

“What are fathers for?” Sam smiled as he ruffled Paige’s messy hair. They laughed and entered the manor.

“Who was it?” Prue asked Sam and Paige walked into the kitchen.

“Some bum who just wanted to mess around.” Paige said with a shrug.

“Yeah and her dad came to save the day!” Sam pitched in proudly.

“All hail Savior Sam!” Prue joked as she gave a small bow. Paige laughed and Sam gave Prue a playful glare.

“My hero!” Paige joined in.

“Well a dad has to do what a dad has to do.” Sam said with a cool, yet sarcastic tone. “I got to go. Whitelighter meeting, see you later?”

“Yeah, I’ll look forward to it.” Paige replied.

“Bye.” Sam gave Paige a kiss on the forehead and orbed out.

“Only two weeks together and you two are pretty close!” Prue said surprised.

“Yeah, well we caught up on alot in the past week.” Paige said sitting on a stool as she watched Prue make coffee.

“Uh, school starts on Monday. What a drag!” Prue groaned as Paige made a face.

“Egh, I don’t want to go to high school. If the rumors about me are bad enough in Jr high imagine in High school.” Paige looked down at the counter.

“Hey, if anyone picks on you just call your big sister is now a, drum roll please...SENIOR!” Prue said with excitement.

“Yeah, I have three upperclass sisters who can whoop all their asses.” Paige laughed.

“Um, actually only two. The other can’t really, you know, kick ass for a while.” Prue said in a serious tone. Paige’s smile fell as she remembered about Phoebe’s pregnancy.

“She hasn’t stepped out of the manor ever since she got out of the hospital has she?” Paige asked Prue.

“No, I’m hoping that she’ll come to the picnic Piper and Leo planned today. She really needs to get out.” Prue said as she put the finishing touches to her coffee.

“Hopefully, I’m pretty worried about her.” Paige admitted.

“Me too. But if we’re going to that picnic, you better get ready you bum!” Prue said pointing at Paige’s pajamas and messy hair.

“What? It’s the new style!” Paige joked as she did a pose.

“Get out of here and get dressed!” Prue said lightly kicking Paige in the rear end. Paige rubbed her butt with a pout and scooted out of the kitchen.

“Alright, next sister.” Prue sighed as she walked out of the kitchen and headed for the stairs.
