As Piper entered the living room, all eyes were on her. She slowly walked up to Dan and took his hands in hers. She glanced at Leo before speaking. She could see the love, hope, and fear in his eyes, and hoped he knew what she was about to do. "Dan, this isn't fair. You came back here with no warning at all and made me make a decision that I've already made once before. But nevertheless, I made it." "And." he urged her. "And...I choose Leo." Tears filled Dan's eyes. Did he really think coming back after four years would change anything? Unlike Dan's, happiness filled Leo's eyes, as he stood there watching her break another man's heart, and thanking God it wasn't his. Piper let Dan's arms fall to his sides as she let go of his hands. Neither tears, nor pain filled her eyes, but pure joy. She knew she had made the right decision...for the second time. Dan hung his head and walked to the door. He grabbed the handle, but turned just as Piper gave Leo a kiss. As he watched the love of his life kiss the love of her's, and his heart broke. He left the manor with thoughts of Piper.
"Now," Grams started, getting everyone's attention, "can we get this show on the road?" "Not just yet." Piper replied. Leo looked at her, "Piper..." "We have one more guest attending." she finished, as Prue walked through the doorway. Phoebe, Paige, and Chris just stared as she stood by her younger sister. Paige spoke first, very softly she asked, "Is that..." but was cut off by Phoebe's scream, "Prue!" "Hey Phoebes." Prue replied to her sister's yell. Prue looked to the side of Phoebe and saw Paige, still wearing the same shocked expression and everyone else. She slowly walked up to the sister she never knew, "Don't look so shocked. You can meet your mother, your grandmother, and risk your life on a daily basis, but your shocked to meet your oldest sister?" "Uh...yeah." Paige answered. "Yeah, I would be too." Prue confessed, giving Paige a hug. "Aunt P...Aunt Prue?" Prue turned around to see her youngest nephew staring wide-eyed at her. "Yes, Chris." she answered. Chris didn't say anything more, he just ran into his Aunt's arms. The Aunt he had heard stories about, and seen pictures of, but had never met. Chris, finally broke the hug, and Prue gave him kiss on the forehead. She, then, turned to Wyatt. She held out her arms and Phoebe put him into them. "Hey little guy." She gave him a kiss on the forehead, as well. "Alright, well, we'll have plenty of time to talk when the wedding's over. So let's get the show on the road.
Prue stood in-between her father and Chris, still holding her baby nephew. Piper and Leo took their places in front of the altar. Both facing Grams, as she nodded to Prue. Using her powers, Prue pressed play on the CD player. "We are gathered her today to join two souls as one." Grams started, "Do you, Leo Wyatt and Piper Halliwell, join us here today of your own free will to acknowledge the eternal bond, shared by both of you?" With a smile spread across his face, Leo answered, "I do." Piper had a smile matching Leo's as she answered, "I do." Again, Grams spoke, "You may face each other. Join hands." Leo held out his right hand and Piper placed her left inside of it. "Leo, you may recite you vows." Leo took a breath, before speaking, "Piper, I made the mistake of leaving you once before, and I want you to know that I will never make that mistake again. We were meant to be together in this and every other life, and nothing and no one can ever change that. We just have to have faith that there are such things ans happy endings. I love you, and I will for all of my immortal life." "Piper." Grams said, giving Piper her cue. "Leo, I lost you twice, and I was lucky enough to get you back both times. I want you to know that the forces of heaven and hell could combine to tear us apart, but it will never happen again. We were meant to be together in this and every other life, and nothing and no one will ever change that. I found you in this life, and I will find you in every future life. I love you with all of my heart and no one can even come close to comparing to you." Grams, with tears in her eyes, proceeded with the ceremony. "Here before witnesses, Leo and Piper have sworn their vows to each other. With this cord I bind them to those vows. Grams used her powers to wrap the rope around their adjoining hands, just as Prue had done with the CD player. Leo and Piper spoke in unison, "Heart to thee, body to thee, always and forever, so mote it be." Grams repeated, "So mote it be." as did everyone else, "So mote it be." Grams ended the ceremony with these words, "You may kiss the bride." Their hearts had been broken for so long, but as their lips met, all the pieces were put back together.
So, what'd you think? I swear, I was not planning on the last two words being the same as the title, it just happened. I hope you all enjoyed reading this story as much as I enjoyed writing it. Even though it won't be continued, could you review anyway, please. :)
