Buzz....buzz...buzz.
Turning over Piper looks to the digital clock on her nightstand, 6:30am. In one hour she had to be at the Manor to help Paige get ready. Today she was to marry Glen and last night during the rehearsal dinner, which Piper had miserably attended, Paige had begged that she come over and help her get ready. Too sick and tired to say no Piper agreed. Unfortunately, now she regretted it. Sure she wanted to help Paige, but having her gush over love wasn't going to help lift Piper's spirits much. She'd spent the last week in a depressed state of being. She hardly ate and sleep was a vague memory to her. Occasionally she'd doze off, but mostly her nights were spent crying or rereading the notes that Tyler had written her.
Throughout the week she'd received flowers, chocolates and a million love letters. Piper wished with all her heart that it could work, but she knew it'd never happen. She was destined to spend her life alone. Leo, Melinda and Fae had been the greatest things in her life and now they were gone, leaving her miserably alone.
Buzz... buzz... buzz!
Finally Piper couldn't take it, slamming her hand down on the alarm she reluctantly got out of bed. It was going to be a long day.

"Piper! Piper! Have you seen my something old?"
"I don't know, what is it?"
"My mother's pearls."
"Paige, they're right here." Piper said tossing Paige the pearls that lay on top of the bureau.
"Oh thanks Piper! I don't know what I would have done without them!"
"Paige! Piper! Come on we have to go!" Phoebe commanded as she struggled to run into the room. Her stomach was now huge and the family was highly anticipating the arrival of the new little one, especially Phoebe who had been in a lot of discomfort lately.
"Honey, you really should be sitting, sudden movements could send that baby out like a canon ball." Paige laughed.
"That's my goal! I'm sick of being pregnant!"
Taken aback by Phoebe's statement Piper decided to remain silent. She could still remember how magnificent those nine months had been. The warmth you got knowing there was a little someone growing inside you. Yeah, of course the delivery was difficult, but the feeling of holding your child for the first time was the greatest thing in the world. Their tiny fingers and toes wrinkled, their button nose sniffing the unfamiliar air around them and their little eyes staring right at you. And you swore that you could see their life flash before your eyes the second the nurse handed them to you. How successful they would be and so forth. Piper had seen a wonderful future for her girls, but how could she ever have predicted what had happened to them? How could she have known her daughters were going to end up dead at such a young age? If she could go back in time she would have kept them in her womb forever, that way she'd know they were safe and out of harm's way. Grief filled her soul and Piper didn't even realize she was crying until Phoebe brought it to her attention.
"Piper, sweetie, you okay? Why are you crying?"
Not wanting to tell them the truth especially today of all days Piper just lied.
"Oh it's just Paige looks so beautiful. I'm so happy for her."
"Oh, thanks Piper." Paige said happily. If she only knew the truth Piper thought to herself.
Getting up they all left for the church.

The music started and slowly the brides maids each accompanied by a groomsmen began to walk down the aisle. Looking around Piper saw many familiar faces. People from Paige's work, from the bridal shower and various innocents that back when the Charmed Ones had been great had been saved by them. Briefly Piper thought back to her demon fighting days, but dismissed it as the groomsmen let go of her arm. Going to her designated spot behind Phoebe, she awaited as the music stopped and Paige appeared at the other end of the church.
Again the music began and Paige started to walk down the aisle. Alone she walked, not feeling that there was a man worthy enough to walk her down the aisle. A smile from ear to ear plastered her face and Piper knew it was sincere. Paige truly cared for Glen and their love was sure to remain for a long time to come.
Even before she made it all the way down Glen was at her side. They shared a brief moment of excitement and then continued down to where the priest waited calmly.
"Dearly beloved we are gathered here today..."
