A/N Despite a few detours we're finally to the second to the last chapter. As I think I have mentioned before, I originally only intended for this story to be about 3 chapters long so I am truly amazed in the fact that it is has grown into so much more than what I intended. Thanks again for all the wonderful reviews.

Although I still consider this to be in the timeline of season 3, Amanda is now 8 months old. Oh yeah and there is a romance warning on this one so watch out! Some of you might a need a tissue handy too.

6 Months Later...

"Amanda" Prue cajoled positioning her camera, "c'mon look at Mommy". Clothed only in a diaper and straw hat Amanda sat in large porcelain antique bowl surround by rose petals. Amanda smiled turning invisible just as Prue clicked the shutter wasting the shot. When she returned Amanda's hands were playfully covering her eyes.

"Not what I hoping for but it will do." Quickly Prue snapped several shots catching Amanda in the peek-a-boo position until she ran out of film. She had started to reload, when orbs suddenly appeared behind her.

"Not that I would show up, but how about a family portrait?"

"ANDY?" Prue's hesitated when she saw him. Her first thought was to rush into his arms, but the thought of consequence stopped her. She didn't want to be electrocuted again. "Are you really back?"

Andy smiled as they shared a yearning glance, "I don't know but I think the Elders were listening when Prudence told you that love is stronger than magic. They've given their blessing for us to be together Prue."

Prue's grin matched his as she jumped into his arms, kissing him with wild abandon. Andy lifted her from the ground, crushing his body to hers, "Prue, I missed you so much" he whispered punctuating his words with kisses. Prue slid from his arms, and looked at Leo who had entered the room with Piper, Phoebe and Cole. "But I don't understand, how...I thought..."

"Don't ask me, ask Cole" Andy motioned sliding his hand around her waist.

"Cole?" Prue adverted her eyes to Cole and back to Andy.

"Let's just say I had a really good defense attorney," he grinned, kissing her cheek.

"Good Attorney?" Phoebe looped her arm with Cole's, pressing to her tiptoes so she could kiss his cheek. "I'd say, the best if a demon convinced the Elders to let Prue and Andy have a second chance. They do get a second chance right?"

Cole shrugged adjusting his jacket, "yes, thanks to the only attorney in the universe who services, witches, white lighters and other angelic beings"

Prue bit her lip and swallowed hard, before letting out a less than joyous thank you. In her mind, though he was trying to change Cole was still and demon and always would be a demon, "I don't know what to say"

"How about thank you" Phoebe piped, "your worries are over, thanks to Cole you can now have a consequence free life with Andy"

"Not exactly" Cole returned scratching the side of his nose.

"What do mean not exactly?"

"Why don't you tell them," Cole looked to Andy.

"Andy?" Prue said, looking worried.

"I still don't have all of my memory. The Elders decided that we needed to reason to stay humble so to speak"

Prue frowned thoughtfully touching his cheek, in time with Cole's forced cough.

"Then there's Natalie"

"Natalie?" Prue's eyes went wide with fury as Andy looked to Leo.

"Leo, you wanna help me out here?"

Leo scratched his head, hoping to avoid being fingered, "The Elders decided that despite her intentions, Natalie could still do more good than harm as a white lighter. They've given her back her wings"

"Natalie's still a white lighter!" Piper couldn't believe it. "What were they all smokin'?"

"Natalie traded some valuable information she obtained from the neutral see'r" Cole supplied, making Piper grit her teeth.

"Sell outs"

Leo grinned largely, "hey the good news is that Andy's been reassigned to me, so that in itself gives him a reason to stay close to his family"

"No more Natalie in our lives?" Prue breathed rolling her green eyes up to Andy.

"No more Natalie in our lives," he repeated dipping his chin to meet her lips. Prue sighed uneasily at the thought. Something inside of her told her that Natalie wasn't really gone.

A loud thud occurred as Amanda managed to tip herself out of the bowl, crawling anxiously towards her father. "I missed you too, baby girl," Andy started to bend down to pick her up, when the infant suddenly orbed into his arms.

"How did she do that?"

"It's her latest trick. She's been orbing short distances for a few weeks now. It makes things like diaper changing and bath time loads of fun," Prue crinkled her nose and pinched Amanda's cheek in a playful manner.

"Can she orb and go invisible at the same time?" Andy asked.

"No not yet," Prue said thankfully, watching him kiss his daughters head while Amanda patted his cheeks.

"That will certainly make hide and go seek more fun when the time gets here," Phoebe snickered as she Cole and Leo began to file from the room, so that Prue and Andy could have some family time with Amanda.

"I still can't believe that you are really here," Prue beamed swallowing tears of joy away.

"Believe it, this time it's forever," Andy kissed her tenderly, allowing Amanda to slide from his arms and into Prue's. "I love you" he whispered, kissing Amanda's head, "both of you"

Upstairs

Leo's brow furrowed when he entered the bedroom to find, Piper staring distantly out the window, tears fleeing down her cheeks. "Piper what's wrong?"

Piper sniffled scrubbing at her cheeks, "I went to see Dr. Marshall today" she said quietly allowing Leo's arms to drape around her. "I wanted to ask her about having a baby"

"And what did she say?" Leo questioned fearing by Piper's expression that he already knew the answer.

Piper sniffled again, and swiped two fingers under her nose. "She said, that I have a lot of scar tissue surrounding my uterus, caused from blunt force trauma, too much demonic trauma" she restated, "And...And...you...you and I...can never have a baby of our own"

Hard sobs wracked her body, as she fell against Leo, "Melinda's blessing for us, isn't going to come true. The daughter that we saw in the future is never going to be born. How could the future have been so wrong Leo?"

Leo kissed her hair resting his chin on top her head, "you don't know that Piper. The future normally doesn't lie"

"But can it be changed?" Piper's dark eyes flashed, "I mean in the future we saw Prue with blonde hair and alone. Now she has Andy and Amanda". Piper didn't dare say the words aloud, but what if Natalie had been right? What if Prue's quest to be with Andy and to have a family of her own had somehow altered Piper and Leo's future too?

Later...

Andy was standing in the kitchen rising out one of Amanda's bottles when Prue came in and wrapped her arms around his waist. "Guess what, Amanda is finally and down, and Piper, Leo and Phoebe are all out for the night, so you and I have the manor completely to ourselves.

Andy turned in her arms, winding his arms around her neck, "are you suggesting something?"

"Maybe" Prue grinned biting down on her lip. Not that she wanted to push but they hadn't been together as couple since the night Amanda had been conceived. "We never got a chance to consummate our marriage" she added shyly, "And I was thinking that if you wanted to try to we could recreate our first date or uh...maybe-"

"Our Prom?" Andy finished for her.

Prue looked down for a moment, "Only if your ready, I mean I know when Natalie and the Elders erased your memory, that took something away from your heart and if you don't want too-"

Andy's finger fell to her lips, "the only thing, I need to remember right now is what it feels like to be with you again".

"Orb me upstairs," Prue commanded playfully letting his mouth cover hers. A short time later, the two soul mates lay snuggling together.

"Well this moment will certainly be worth remembering," Prue teased, rolling her eyes up at Andy as his fingers fell into her hair.

"It will be definitely unforgettable," he smiled and kissed the tip of her nose, "but there is one thing I'd like to be able to remember"

"What's that?" Prue asked noting a serious expression.

Andy offered a slight smile, "I want to remember marrying you Prue. When we are old and gray, I want to be able to recall our wedding".

Prue stared at him, sensing a flood of serious emotion, "What are you saying"

"I'm saying I want to marry you again, Prue"
