It's been three years since we vanquished Goriath. It's definitely been a time of peace. Not even your more normal text book demons have really attacked.
In that time, I've learned that as horrible as my life was, it happened for a reason. It made me who I am. The kick ass woman who can bring the dead back to life.
Phoebe had her third daughter. She named her Penelope. I thought it was beautiful. And she really is. She's got her father's gifts of love and her mother's gift of foresight, so we all know that she'll be the most powerful Cupid ever known, because not only can she make matches of love, she knows if it'll stick for good. Truly making matches in heaven.
Piper had her daughter as well. Melinda Prudence. It's not yet quite clear what her gifts will be yet as she's just barely 2, but I know she'll grow to do wonderful things.
Prue has really been a wonderful re-addition to the family. She loves to fight demons whenever they do strike, which is a rarity, but she's always there to deal with the problem quickly. She did eventually start to feel lonely and approached me about Andy. I reluctantly agreed, but we had to give the two of them entirely new identities seeing as they've both been dead for years. That just wouldn't work in this world of red tape. But we all made it work. And they even have a son now. Andy Jr. He's definitely a little heart breaker and has the best of both of his parents.
After Paige's death and subsequent being brought back to life, her and Henry have learned to cherish each other more, if that was even possible. They loved each other so much to begin with, but now it's transcendent. It's truly beautiful. She hasn't given up the whole whitelighter gig, but that's okay. That's just who she is. She's just learned to be more careful.
As for me, you may ask, I'm happier than I've ever been. Not only did I finally find the family that I lost so long ago without quite knowing it, I've gained even more. About a year after vanquishing Goriath, I met a wonderful man named Roger thanks to Coop's interference. We met at a coffee shop and really hit it off. We married about a year after that and are expecting our own daughter any day now. We are going to name her Calliope. I figured it was close enough to Carlisse, the one who brought me and the rest of us so much through her own selflessness and sacrifice. I couldn't bring myself to name her that completely, but I knew this was good enough and we are all happy about it.
Truly, life has never been better. Calliope will be joining the family very soon.
And the power of five has never been more alive.
A/N: Well, there it is. Darkness Falls is complete. I hope you enjoyed.
