Piper sat outside on the porch of the Halliwell Manor and gazed up into the sky and noticed how the stars seemed to be twinkling less brighter than usual. To Piper nothing seemed to be the same since that sad day when she lost one of the most important person her life to the greater good. He was the first person she talked to every morning and the last person she talked to at night. He was the reason, she would start each day it a little happier and the one that would always be on her mind during the day. He was none other than her lover, her soul mate, her precious Leo.

Flashback

Destiny closes her eyes and Leo, healed, appears where Burke was just standing and Burke is in front of the control panel. Leo asks them what is going on as Piper approaches him. She is holding back her tears as she tells him that he is going to be safe and that is all that matters. Leo is still confused and Piper tells him that he has to trust her because the only way that she can save him is to lose him. She tells him that it is their destiny. Leo trusts her and agrees to it. Leo tries to reassure her by saying that they have been through worse. Piper tells him, with confidence, that they have not been. Leo tells her that they will get through this and Piper tells him that they better. Destiny tells them that it is time. Piper turns to Leo, wanting to say so much, but all she can get out is "I love you." Leo says "I love you, too..."

Piper began to cry at the memory after 5 years it still managed to stay in her mind. They took him away, those who were sworn to protect them did this, so that her and her sisters would be able to take care of the new threat. Oh how she hated hearing that, it was like every other week there would be one of those. She let out a small giggle at the thought but slowly her smile turned into a smile when she realised that Leo was there with her to be her strong tower whenever there was a new threat those who did this said they did it for the greater good but at the expense of her heart. Since Leo became human she got use to having him around more and loved how they could go through a whole night in eternal bliss without being interrupted. But since he was taken, her nights had gotton cold and lonely and she would wake up thinking that it was just a dream, that he was in the next room playing with the boys. Her thoughts would be shattered when she realised that the boys were asleep or when she noticed that on the bed next to her was perfectly made like no one slept there.

"Oh Leo what am I going to do without you. Why did they have to take you, I need you, the boys need you." Piper began to cry when she saw that her screaming was in vain. She got up and went inside of the house and straight to the attic to do something she knew that she would regret.

"Mommy where you going?" Wyatt said as he rubbed the sleep out of his eyes.

"Oh sweetie what are you doing up, is Chris up too." Piper asked as bent down to pick up her little man.

"Yea, he had a dream that daddy wasnt coming back anymore. He went into your room and saw you wasnt there and thought that the bad guys that took daddy might have taken you too." Wyatt said as he brushed some hair out of his mother's face and he noticed that there was tears sliding down her face."Why are you crying mommy, do you miss daddy too?" Wyatt said as he gently wiped the tears from Piper's eyes.

"Yes sweetie I miss your daddy very much. Oh Chris come here peanut." Piper said as she noticed Chris head peaked out of her door. He ran up to her and hugged her as tightly as he could and started to cry."I thought you were gone mommy, I saw the bad guys who took daddy and they said they would take you too."

Not being able to hold her tears back anymore she wept in her boys embrace and whispered in their ears."I will never leave you guys, and daddy is gonna come back I will do everything in my power to make so."

After staying this way for a few minutes Piper led her boys back to their room and tucked them in and kissed their forehead and walked to their door." You guys try and get some sleep and in the morning I will try and have a surprise for you downstairs."

Piper went to the attic and pulled out a piece of paper and thought hard of what she was gonna do, she was gonna bring her husband from where ever he was to spend some time with their family."It's now or never." she said as she sighed and started chanting.

I call forth through space and time

My husband and father of those beautiful children of mine

To come from now to now again

To spend time with our family and to help our broken hearts to mend

Suddenly a swirl of bright lights appeared before her which formed into a man.

"Hello Piper" the man said as he looked at her and realised what she had done.

"Leo." was all she could say she was happy surprised angry and so much other emotions she couldnt murmur another word.

"Piper, yes its me but I dont understand how.." Leo started to say but was stopped mid sentence by Piper who had rushed up to him and kissed him passionately. Leo did hesitate to kiss her back he gave into her completely. This was what they wanted to be in each others arms kissing falling in love with each other over again. Leo reluctantly broke the kissed and looked into Piper's brown eyes, he was hypnotised. He knew it wasnt time for him to be back but he didnt care this being here was all he wanted and for tonight he would forget the whole world and only remember Piper. Knowing what was going through Leo's mind Piper simply nodded and led him to their bedroom and then they continued kissing.

Suddenly she heard a scream coming from Wyatt's bedroom.
