As time went by unstopped, a week leaped into the next, the weeks turned into months.

Piper and Leo had to increasingly be the ones to visit Wyatt and Sam as she was getting bigger and bigger to move around. The ultrasounds told them everything was in order to their pride and joy. They had trodden lightly around her nonetheless, trying to avoid upsetting her by mentioning anything relating the future and what could have been. Piper thought it was no use to keep worrying as much as tackling anything that came their way anyway.

Chris was spending more and more time with Bianca as the demonic attacks were hitting an all-time low. They had even spent a few nights at his brother's, telling Piper and Leo he would stay over for movie night. Some of those nights, they simply lied next to each other holding hands, staring at each other's eyes only to be caught by the morning sun.

Wyatt and Sam were doing much better, even though the pain still was far from budging. Sam had gone almost completely back to normal to his relief. There were moments when it all became overwhelming again, where they would just stop, hold on to each other, foreheads together till they found a moment of clarity, enough to go on another day. Wyatt still feared those moments where she would drift away from them all, but they were growing scarce as time went on. Wyatt took over supervising the store as Sam managed the details from home. Piper had reluctantly gone back to run P3 as their main source of income, having put her restaurant back on an indefinite pause.

Phoebe's daughter, the other Bianca, had finally settled in a tiny apartment across town. She sounded happy and kept her mother at bay by telling her she needed some time to enjoy her own life. Phoebe could understand that better than anyone else in the family, so she bit her tongue and not once asked her to change her mind. Coop knew how painful it all was to her, and he was so proud at how she put her feelings aside to let their daughter be happy.

"Hey, what you doing up?" Wyatt asked his wife who was in the back yard on her knees plowing the empty flowerbeds. "Uh-uh, can't have any" he said taking the mug away from her grasp as he squatted beside her, kissing the top of her head on the way down.

"Oh, come on, just a sip" she begged pulling him by the shirt to steal a kiss.

"That was a cheap shot" he smiled sharing his cup. She took one sip and slapped him playfully on the chest.

"You cheat!"

"I never said it was coffee, you just assumed it was" he laughed taking back his peppermint tea. "What are you up to here?" he said checking the opened box full of flower seeds by her side. "I thought you didn't wanna murder any more plants" she pushed him, making him fall flat on his butt, tea inevitably spilling, which was caught midair by Sam and then poured gently back in the cup. "Thanks"

"You're welcome" she opened a bag of seeds and started throwing them clumsily in the freshly dug ditch. "I have no idea why, but I thought it would be a good idea to give it another try"

"Great idea" he smiled seeing her happily digging some more. "Kids still asleep? I was afraid to take a peek and disturb the peace"

"One's not" she caressed her belly.

"Oh, he giving you problems this morning?" he caressed her belly too. "Take it easy buddy. It's way too early out here" he told his unborn child.

"What time are your mom and dad coming?"

"Well, we said lunch, so… around ten in the morning maybe? You know mom will want to do snacks for the kids before lunch and won't be letting us help beyond cutting a carrot or two"

"Oh, let her enjoy it. We haven't been visiting as much. She wants to be around her grandkids"

"Hey, I'm all for it. We don't have to cook" Wyatt said making Sam chuckle. "Did Chris and Bianca stay over?"

"No. I think he knew your mom would wanna be here early so he took off late last night"

"Wish they would just tell mom"

"You know there's a whole history in your family with dating demons"

"She's not a demon"

"Evil…ish, still might hit a nerve, so they're being careful but… they'll let them know soon enough" Wyatt couldn't help noticing an undertone to that last part.

"How are you so sure?" he asked suspiciously.

"Well, they can't hide it forever it they're meant to be married and have a kid" Wyatt agreed and was well satisfied by the answer.

He finished his tea and convinced Sam to come inside and have something to eat herself. As they walked in through the back door, they saw Angie crawling around the living room enjoying all the toys her brother and sister usually hogged.

"Aren't you an early bird?" Sam told their baby daughter going to pick her up, which was increasingly hard to do as she neared the end of her pregnancy.

"I got her" said Wyatt going to pick her up to place her in her mother's arms.

"Oh, I think she's wet" said Sam kissing her daughter.

"I'll go get the diaper bag; you can change her on the couch" said Wyatt already jumping the first two steps up.

"How you get here, huh?" she tickled the baby. Angie giggled but couldn't keep her eyes off her siblings' toys; all of a sudden, she aeroported away from her mother who was already set on the couch. "Not gonna make this easy, huh?" Wyatt came back down carrying Meghan and Julian, who was still drowsy and sucking on his thumb, but clearly didn't wanna be the only one left behind in their bedroom.

"Got souvenirs" Sam smiled as Wyatt put them on the couch for her to kiss good morning. "Would you please pass me that other one that got away from me"

"Aeroported?" Sam nodded defeatedly.

"Hey, young lady" Wyatt picked up Angie again, blowing raspberries on her tummy. "No aeroporting away from mommy, understood?"

"Alright. Let's get that wet diaper off of ya, sweetheart" Wyatt placed Angie by Sam and got Meghan and Julian off the couch as he did so. "Can you believe she'll turn one in a couple days?"

"I really can't" said Wyatt smiling broadly. "I still have a hard time believing I'm this lucky" he looked around from his children to his wife. "Oh well, this lucky man needs to get moving on breakfast or there'll be a riot soon" he kissed Sam and went over to the kitchen.

Sam finished cleaning Angie and put her down to play with her brother and sister. Then, turned around to stare at Wyatt in his undershirt and pajama pants. Her head lying on her crossed arms on the back of the couch. She found herself getting lost in his every movement. He was so beautiful; how can they've been together for almost five years already and still feel like it had been yesterday they had met at P3. Wyatt caught her staring and smiled.

"See anything you like?"

"Oh yeah, definitely" she said playfully.

Piper actually ended up arriving at noon, stressed cause in her words lunch would be late if she didn't get cracking. They offered to help, but Piper had chopped and marinated everything the night before so there was not much they could do. Chris was the only one who still hadn't arrived, but he orbed in soon enough just before lunch was served and he wasn't alone. Bianca was by his side wearing a lot less black than she normally did.

"Is something wrong?" Piper and Leo said immediately.

"No, everything's alright" Chris tried to dial down the sense of alert.

"Would you like to explain to me what's going on?" Wyatt was eyeing his brother and his wife.

"I suggested he invited her. I wasn't sure if he was gonna" she said guiltily.

"Maybe I should go" said Bianca as Piper kept her eyes on her for a little too long.

"No" Chris took a deep breath and then held Bianca's hand. "Mom, dad, we've been… seeing each other for a while now" there was complete silence even from the kids who seemed to know something was up. Meghan took a plastic block to Bianca, who was often around playing with them.

"That answers my question of whether you two knew" said Piper continuing on lunch.

"We should have said something earlier but… I was afraid of this" said Chris eyeing how her mother chopped carrots with excessive violence. Another pause and uncomfortable silence.

"Why don't you two tell us all about it over lunch?" suggested Leo over Piper's murderous stare.

"I can go"

"No" Chris held her back. "I want you to stay" Piper saw her son pleading Bianca, so she decided to give him a chance before having to talk to him about the whole dating evil thing, which she had hoped she would never have to do.

"Please stay" Piper said to everyone's surprise. "Like Leo said, we can talk about it over lunch" she tried to fake a smile, but that was more than enough for Chris.

"Help me set the table?" said Wyatt to Bianca. She nodded still very awkwardly.

"I'll help you serve, mom" said Chris who walked behind her as she served plates, as he took an extra one from the cupboard. "Thank you for giving her a chance" he whispered for her to hear, before walking to the table with the kids' plates.

Piper wouldn't go as far as to say she was giving her a chance just yet, but if she meant this much to her son. She would at least try.
