New chapter going to be added tomorrow!
Chapter 5 Ghost of a Lost Sister
Piper was sitting on her bed, thinking about what Leo had just told her. She was pregnant and she didn't even know it. Leo had explained that Chris told him about it and since Chris seemed to be right so far about everything, Piper believed him. She stood up and looked in the mirror at her tired reflection. How was she going to raise two kids now? This was all getting too complicated. Piper looked down at her dresser and at the picture of herself, Leo, and Wyatt shortly after Wyatt was born. She began to cry as she thought of happier times.
Behind Piper, a swirl of white lights appeared. She turned around and looked in shock as the ghost of her sister Prue appeared in front of her eyes.
" Oh my God," Piper whispered. Prue became corporeal and a smile formed on her face as she embraced her younger sister.
" I can't believe it's you," Piper said, crying into Prue's shoulder.
" It's okay sweetie. It's going to be alright," Prue said in that reassuring tone that had kept Piper strong all those years. All the thoughts and problems that had recently arisen were forgotten as Piper and Prue hugged.
" Not that I'm not grateful, but what are you doing here?" Piper asked. She figured Leo must have brought Prue back for some reason.
" I thought perhaps you needed an older sister now more than ever," Prue said. They sat on the bed and caught up on what happened in the past three years.
" Want to meet your nephew?" Piper asked.
" More than anything," Prue said. They went downstairs to retrieve Wyatt from the playpen. Phoebe and Paige were in the conservatory watching him. They looked up as Piper and Prue entered the room. Phoebe gasped when she saw Prue and ran to hug her.
" Prue!" she cried. Paige stood up and took a look at the sister she had never known. Prue and Phoebe hugged tightly.
" Prue, this is our sister Paige," Piper said. Prue looked over Phoebe's shoulder at Paige, who hung back shyly. Phoebe stepped back as Prue hugged Paige. Piper noticed how, instead of feeling awkward around Prue, like she did around Grams, Paige embraced Prue like she had known her for years. Piper picked up Wyatt and brought him over to Prue held him in her arms and hugged him tight. Leo orbed in just in time to see Prue holding Wyatt.
" Prue, you're back," he said, shocked.
" Wait, you didn't know? You're an Elder. I thought you sent her," Piper said.
" Piper, can I talk to you in the kitchen?" Leo asked.
" Leo, if this is some other life changing news, I really don't want to hear it," Piper said.
" Please?" Leo asked. Piper sighed and followed him into the kitchen.
" What is it this time?" Piper asked.
" The Elders wanted me to tell you that you're getting a new Whitelighter," Leo said.
" What? What about Chris? He's in danger," Piper said.
" I know. Phoebe told me. Chris isn't going to be reassigned. If you can handle two Whitelighters for awhile, that is," Leo said.
" Well, who's the new one?" Piper asked.
" Well, before I tell you, I've got a question for you," Leo said.
" What?" Piper asked. Her eyes got wide as Leo got down on one knee.
" Will you marry me? Again?" he said. Piper struggled to catch her breath.
" Oh my God. You're back!" she exclaimed, kissing him passionately. Chris peeked through the door to the kitchen as he watched Piper and Leo celebrate.
" Part one is finished," he said quietly before orbing out.
A few days later, Piper walked to the altar that had been set up for the wedding. Prue, holding Wyatt, Phoebe, and Paige smiled from their places as bridesmaids. Grams stood behind the altar, ready to perform the ceremony. Patty, Victor, and Richard stood on the other side of the walkway, smiling as Piper made her way to the altar and stood by Leo, the same way she had done it three years ago.
The ceremony was beautiful. During the reception, Prue and Paige spent the time catching up. Prue played with Wyatt when Paige went to dance with Richard. Phoebe and Victor danced while Patty and Grams talked too. Piper and Leo lit up the dance floor, sometimes dancing with Wyatt, sometimes just the two of them. When they were sure Wyatt was being watched, Leo led Piper into the garden, which he had decorated with Whitelighter lights.
" Oh Leo, it's beautiful," Piper said breathlessly. She looked at her husband. " It's all going to be okay, right?"
" Of course. We have each other. It's going to work out," Leo said. He and Piper kissed passionately in the lit garden. Piper felt like she was walking on air. Leo's words were so reassuring. Everything was going to be okay.
Except, however, for the fact that Piper still had no idea who or what was after Chris.
