can't decide. Ah… just read.

"Rachel, I need you to go to bed now."
"I'm not tired."
"I know, but you have school soon, and you can't be up at night, and sleep during school, could you go to bed for me?"
"Maybe. Will you read first?"
"Sure. Let's get your pajamas on, and then I'll read some more of Harry Potter."
"Yeah!" Rachel held up her arms to be picked up. Piper scooped her up, and carried her to her bed. But there was already someone on the bed. "Kirsten!! She exclaimed excitedly.
"Hey there kiddo!" Kirsten said back. She went over and gave Rachel a hug.
"Hey Kirsten." Piper said.
"Hi Piper."
"Phoebe said you were gone and, and never coming back. Why are you here?"
"The elders made me a messenger. And the elders sent me to deliver a message."
"What kind of message?"
"One not for you." Kirsten said.
"Oh."
"A message?" Piper asked.
"For you and Leo."
"Well, Leo is talking to the elders, and so…"
"The elders are sending him down for this."
"Ok."
"Lets go to the attic for this."
"Rachel, why don't you read some books?"
"Ok Piper." Piper and Kirsten went to the attic, where Leo was waiting for them.
"What's this all about?" He asked.
"They made me a messenger, and I'm doing my job."
"Congratulations. Messengers have a lot of good standing."
"I know, and its great. Anyway, back to this message. I'm going to go get it, and I may not return. Could you do me a favor, and give this to Rachel for me?" Kirsten asked, handing Piper a folded piece of paper. Piper nodded. "Thanks."
"It was good seeing you again Kirsten." Piper said.
"You too." She smiled and orbed out.
"Wait a second! Our message!" Leo called.
"She went to go get it."
"Oh yeah."
They didn't wait long before blue orbs began to form. Piper expected Kirsten to materialize, but it was someone else. Someone vaguely familiar. Piper stared at the mystery woman. She had light brown hair, and was only about thirty. "Hello." She said.
"You're Rachel's mother." Piper observed.
"Yes, yes I am. That is why I'm here. I just wanted to say, over the past year, I have watched Rachel through everything. She'll be turning seven in two days, and she has grown up so much since I last saw her in person. Almost two years ago. And I know that your family has made her the happiest. You treat her as if she were your own. Thank you so much for taking care of my baby so well. And if any one was going to become her parents, I'm just glad that it's you two." She said. Piper began to cry, those words were the ones she wanted to hear.
"Thank you." Piper said.
"I need to go, I wasn't allowed to stay long. Just take care of Rachel for me." Rachel's mom said before orbing out. Piper smiled. She had approval from almost everyone, and now she had approval from the one person that would matter the most in the after life. Rachel's mom. The words were still sinking in. Suddenly something hit Piper. Rachel's birthday was in two days.
"Leo! Rachel's birthday! Two days!" Piper exclaimed.
