A/n: I am sooooooooooo sorry that it took me so long to update. I have had a severe case of writer's block. But now that I've updated, I hope y'all enjoy.
"Grams!" Phoebe and Paige yelled together. Grams stepped out of the circle of candles and instantly became solid. She held out her arms and the girls ran into them for a hug. Suddenly more white lights appeared in the circle of candles. Both Phoebe and Paige's eyes widened as they stared, waiting to see who it was. As the form appeared, both girls had big smiles across their faces. "Mom." they, again, said together. "My babies." Patty said. She too held her arms out, and the girls rushed into them. "'They' let you come?" Phoebe asked pulling away. "No, 'They' didn't." Paige, too, pulled away. Everyone, with the exception of Grams, looked confused. Seeing this Patty explained herself. "I just figured, our family has broken so many rules, what's one more?" As she said this she looked from Paige to Phoebe, and settled her gaze on Leo.
Piper, upstairs, sat on her bed, Wyatt in her lap, "Well, buddy, you're getting your daddy back full-time. What do you think about that?" Wyatt giggled, "Yeah, I'm happy too." Piper continued after a short pause, "I really hope your brother can change the future...you're really too cute to be evil." Piper smiled. Downstairs, she heard the doorbell ring, "And that would be your grandfather." she told Wyatt.
"Daddy!" Phoebe yelled as she opened the door. "Hey, baby." He walked into the living room, "Hi Paige, Penny, Patty." Chris covered his mouth and whispered to Leo, "Try saying that five times fast." Leo broke out in a grin. Victor, then turned to Leo. When he saw Leo's smile he got a suspicious look on his face, "Leo." he said, as if he had just found out about him being a whitelighter. Leo, like everyone else, simply nodded. He, then, turned to Chris, "And who is this young man?" Leo's smile broadened, "This, Victor, is your youngest grandson." Victor's eyes widened in shock, but he realized it must be something supernatural, so he made it into a joke, "Have I been gone that long?" he asked, a smile from ear to ear adorning his face. Chris stuck out his hand, "Hi, Grandpa, I'm Chris. I'm...from the future." 'About nine months in the future.' he mentally added. Victor took his hand and pulled him into a hug. Chris got a lot of these from his grandfather in the future. It never replaced Piper's, but it was second best. "Now, there's only one person missing to make this wedding complete." Phoebe said. Every person in the room, including Paige, knew exactly who she was talking about. Prue. After a moment of silence, Phoebe, again, spoke. "Well, I guess I'd better see if the bride is ready." She walked past her father and ran up the stairs.
"Piper, sweetie, can I come in?" Phoebe asked, after knocking on her sister's door. "Yeah, Phoebes." came Piper's reply. Phoebe slowly opened the door and peeked in, "Hi." she said, before opening the door completely and walking over to sit on the bed. "Hey." Piper replied. "Everyone's here. Even mom." Phoebe said with a smile. Piper, too, smiled, but replied, "Not everyone." Both girls' smiles quickly faded. "Piper, she's watching. You know she wouldn't miss this. No matter what 'They' say." Piper nodded slightly, "Yeah, I know. It's just not the same." Phoebe gave Piper a hug, "I know, sweetie. I know." Piper held onto Wyatt with one arm and embraced her sister with the other. "Well, I guess we'd better get the show on the road, huh?" Piper asked pulling out of her sister's firm embrace. "I'll take Wyatt downstairs." Phoebe said, reaching out to grab the toddler. With Wyatt in her arms, Phoebe walked towards the door, but stopped short. "But, you know, you might actually get through the wedding the first time." Phoebe smiled. "Thanks, Phoebes." Piper replied, also smiling. Phoebe simply nodded and closed the door. Piper exhaled, stood, and looked at herself in her full-length mirror. "I really wish you were here, Prue." She was half expecting to see Prue standing behind her, just like her mother had been at her first wedding. No such luck. Piper sighed, and put her veil on. She stared at herself in the mirror for a few seconds, before grabbing her bouquet of flowers off of the bed. She walked to the top of the staircase and waited for her cue. The music started and she began her journey down the stairs.
Leo smiled as he watched his future wife, and he mother of his children walk slowly towards him. Piper looked into his deep blue eyes and couldn't help but smile too. As Piper stood next to her angel, her heart leaped. As her grandmother began to speak, she was interrupted by the sound of the front door opening. They heard a voice, a man's voice, call out, "Piper!" The look in Leo's eyes turned from love for Piper, to hate for the man. He knew as well as Piper who the intruder was. The man made his way to the living room, where he saw the love of his life about to marry another. "Piper, wait!" he shouted. Piper turned her head to face him, "Dan! What are you..." "Piper, don't do this, don't marry this clown. You know you love me as much as I love you. That's why I came back, to take you away with me." Piper, as well as the rest of the room, stared at Dan in shock, "Piper." Leo whispered, trying to draw her attention away from the man who had taken her away from him four years ago. "Come away with me, Piper. Don't ruin your life by marrying him. I love you." "Piper." Leo whispered, again. Piper threw her bouquet of flowers down onto the floor and raised her hands above her head, "God, I can't do this right now!" she screamed, before pushing past Dan and running up the stairs.
In the attic, she placed five candles in a circle, just as her sisters had done, and lit them. She, then, recited the spell she knew by heart, hoping beyond hope that it would work. White lights swirled, and the form that she had been wanting to see for so long appeared. "Prue." was all that Piper could say. Prue stepped out of the circle and like her mother and grandmother, became, once again, flesh and bone. "Yes, Piper, it's me." Prue held out her arms and embraced her sister. "God, I've missed you." they said in unison. They both had smiles on their faces as they pulled apart. "So, let's cut to the chase, you have a wedding to get to. Why did you summon me?" The smile adorning Piper's face grew wider, "I knew you were watching." "Of course I was. I wouldn't miss this for the world. Now come on, spill it." Piper sighed and started spilling her guts to her one and only big sister, "It's Dan. He came back. And he says he still loves me and wants me to come away with him." Prue nodded, "Yes, I know." "Prue, I made this decision once, I don't want to have to make it again." Prue took Piper's hand in her's, "But you have to." Piper squeezed Prue's hand tight, making it turn white. "But who do I choose, Dan or Leo?" Prue loosened Piper's grip on her hand, she might be dead, but it still hurt. "I think you knew who you were going to choose before you came up here, didn't you?" Piper stared at her older sister, she always knew what Piper was feeling. "Yeah, I guess I did." After a pause, Piper continued, "Well, I guess I'd better send you back, huh?" She took a step back. "Wait just a minute there. Send me back? Piper it's your wedding day!" Piper looked back at the oldest Halliwell, "Yeah, but 'They' said..." Prue placed her hands on Piper's shoulders, "Piper, since when do we listen to 'Them'?" Piper laughed, "You're right. But you'll have to wait a few minutes, until I can get rid of Dan. You coming back from the dead might be a little hard to explain." With that Piper made her way to the living room to break a man's heart.
A/n: Did I mention how sorry I was that it took so long to update? Once again, this was supposed to be the last chapter, but as you can see, it's not. I just thought that would be a good place to end a chapter. You know the drill, review if you want me to continue, the next chapter will prolly be the last.
