2yrs had passed, by now the elders had made Leo an elder again and the protector of the Halliwell family. Phoebe was holding up as well as any wife who lost her companion could. She had to. She had to for her children. They would always ask about where their mom was and when she was coming home. It hurt Phoebe because she didn't know. Paige nor Leo could get close enough find out when she might be coming home... if she ever did. After all it had been over 2yrs. Phoebe still cried herself to sleep at times. She talked about Parker to the kids all the time so they wouldn't forget her. Showed them her pictures and they always watched the family tapes.
That night after the kids were in bed Phoebe had the dream she had been having ever since the day they took her wife, her lover, her best friend. She kept seeing Michael killing Parker in front of her. Over and over and over again. She could here Parker's voice calling to here. She could feel Parker's lips on her's She awoke to Parker sitting next to her on the bed.
Parker: Phoebe?
Phoebe: this is a dream
Parker: no its not
Phoebe: yes it is. Go away
Parker: I live here. With you and the kids
Phoebe: your not real
She rolled over. Parker slide her hand under the blankets and pinched Phoebe on her butt. Phoebe jumped
Parker: since when can you feel pain in dreams?
Phoebe: Parker?
Parker: its actually nice to hear my name
Phoebe jumped up almost knocking Parker off the bed, throwing her arms around her wife. She placed kisses all over her face lips.
Parker: ooh baby I missed you so much.
Phoebe: they let you come back?
She continued hugging and kissing the woman she hadn't seen in 2yrs. The woman she loved was back. The mother of her children was now here to watch her son and daughter grow with the rest of the family.
Parker: would you like me to leave?
Phoebe: no! Don't you dare. we gotta wake the kids
Parker: no I don't wanna wake em, I'll see them in the morning. Tonight I wanna be with you. Just you.
She laid down her wife and kissed her, deeply and passionately. That 1st night back was like them being together for the 1st time in their lives. They made love furiously. It wasn't about the sex. It was the fact that they were together once again. Their lips, their hands, their bodies intertwined together just felt so right and felt so good. They lay in bed talking about what she's missed. Their children were toddlers now. Terrible two's had come and gone straight into terrible three's. it was 4am before reality had sunk into Phoebe and she had to ask the all important question. Would she be here to stay or would more angels swoop down and take her away again. She didn't want to ask and ruin the mood, but she had to. Phoebe was happy she was back but she needed to know that she wouldn't have to leave again..ever. Parker reassured her she wouldn't. She apologized for never telling her about all of her past.
Phoebe: what about your brother?
Parker: he forgave me. My father reinstated me. And I don't have to kill Michael for the idiotic thing he did with you in Eden.
Phoebe: I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bring that up
Parker: it ok. I should've told you. I don't know how that conversation would've started off tho. "Hey honey, you know Jesus Christ? Yeh he's my brother and I had some freaked out mortals kill him. And yes he was black"
Phoebe: Parker
Parker: I'm sorry. Its just there are things that I wanted to forget and talking about em wasn't gonna do that.
Phoebe: what about your duties as? You know as a...
Parker: ah that...yeh well. I can't get gutta that.
Phoebe looked disappointed. She turned Phoebe's head towards her.
Parker: but... I don't have to stay there. I don't even have to go up there ever. Unless there's an emergency, I'd never have to leave you again. I can have a normal life. WE can have a normal life. Well as normal as OUR lives get.
Phoebe: as long as you stay and be a good wife and mother to our children. It doesn't matter.
She took Phoebe's hand in hers and pulled her close. They kissed once more before closing their eyes and falling asleep in each others arms. Phoebe woke up the next morning and rolled over. Her bed was empty and Parker wasn't there. she was disappointed. 2yrs of nightmares that did exist and only one night of pure bliss that didn't. She wanted her wife back so badly. she wanted to cry again but didn't. she got up and headed for the twins room. when she reached the door she saw they were gone. immediately she panicked. she ran through the house calling their names.
Phoebe: Prue? Keyton?
Her mind raced. 1st thing that came to her mind was that the Archangels came and took the kids. she ran down stairs and headed for the door when she heard Prue laughing. she stopped in her tracks and headed for the kitchen. there sat Prue, Keyton, and Parker sitting at the table eating breakfast. Prue was sitting on Parker's lap giggling and feeding her mom a piece of toast. Parker looked up into her wife's face.
Parker: there's mommy. say good to morning mommy.
When Phoebe caught site of this a rush of relief ran over her. not just because her children were safe but also because she hadn't dreamt Parker...unless she was still dreaming now. she folded her arms and pinched herself. she felt the pain and was glad she had. she headed over to them and sat down in between Parker and Keyton. she kissed her son and daughter and gave her wife a lingering kiss.
Parker: good morning to you to
Phoebe: morning.
Parker: you ok?
Phoebe: I am now.
