A/N: CCMcKenna, not to worry. Piper will not be having Wyatt or Chris. Pruedence.Halliwell: Twins? LOL! Wouldn't that be something! You will find out in the sequel. Princess Pinky: I think although Amanda has the potential to become very powerful that her main thing is going to be fading and maybe a little orbing here and there. In Chapter 41, Prudence Warren combined her powers to give Phoebe and a Prue a vision. My take on Amanda is that is what she was doing in the womb, combining Prue's powers to move the soap and the crossbow. I don't want to turn her into another Wyatt. Regina and Halliwell-Wyatt Twins: thank you so much for taking time to review. I hope you both will read the sequel. Sci Fi Fan Gillian as always thank you! son gomay vidal goku: I have not given a lot of thought to Phoebe and Cole as of yet other than Cole has a new calling in the sequel. But I can say that Princess Pinky has done a wonderful job with them in her series about all four of the sisters and their kids. Thanks again to everyone for reading. PS I hope nobody minds, the wedding chapter was getting so long, I split into two parts for easier reading. I'll post the real conclusion tomorrow or maybe later today!
A Few Weeks Later...
Prue had just stepped out of the bathroom, and was towel drying her hair when Phoebe engulfed her into into a bear size hug. "My big sister is getting married today!" she squealed in a singsong voice. "I'm so glad you and Andy are finally going to be happy together. Phoebe showered her sister's face with kisses. " Nobody deserves to have this more than you do, Prue"
Prue smiled as Phoebe pulled away. "Yeah, well except maybe you. Is Cole coming to the ceremony?" Together they walked into Prue's room.
"He should be here soon, he said he had to defend some demon from being banished by the neutral council of magic" Ever since the demon had help defend Andy against the Elders' he'd found a new calling in helping other demons turn a new leaf.
"The neutral council of magic?" Prue raised an eyebrow, "he's really getting back into this lawyer thing"
"It's what he's good at" Phoebe defended, "and it beats having bounty hunters on his ass all of the time. No offense"
"None taken," Prue pulled a brush through her hair as she stood in front of the mirror, dressed in her floral robe, "Did you remember to pick up my dress?"
"Of Course" Phoebe crossed over to the closet and pulled out a floor length-wedding gown still covered in plastic. The dress had been custom made by a woman Prue had met during a photo spread that 415 had done on Bay Area brides. Tailored to perfection to fit both Prue's figure and style the off the shoulder dress sported a form fitting bodice, with a swooped back, and underlying pale pink skirt designed for some added color along with ruffles to give the dress a vintage flare.
"I can't believe we are having both the wedding and Amanda's wiccaning in the park," Phoebe said," The public display of nuptials and a wiccaning had Phoebe a little worried. The presence of all of the family matriarchs was going to attract a little more than just attention.
Yeah, well Andy and I have a lot of lost of memories to make up for and Grams isn't always available so as long as no demons decide to attack everything should be fine, " Prue smiled wickedly as Phoebe came up behind her and twisted her hair into an up do style.
"Demons? I'd be more worried about the Elders or Natalie"
Leo double checked with Elders this morning and they assured him that nobody on their end will be attacking either me or Andy, including Natalie" Prue made a face, "If she's shows up, they've given us permission to blow her fat ass into oblivion".
Phoebe gave a doubtful glance, "Don't you think this all kind of strange considering all that the Elders put you and Andy through?"
Prue turned around and crossed her arms over her chest, "Honestly, I'd like to think that they are giving us some sort of reward for proving to them that what Andy and I have can never be separated, not even by death"
"Anybody ready for some company?" Piper's voice rang through the doorway.
"So long as it not Andy or Dad," Prue called back.
"It's not," Piper entered carrying Amanda in her arms. The tiny tot was clothed in dress made of the same fabric as Prue's wedding gown. Her dark raven colored hair, was spiked into little puffs from where Piper had plastered it with gel so that it stuck up just right around her pink headband.
"Oh don't you look too cute!" Prue cooed, taking her daughter from Piper's arms. "Mommy and Daddy could just eat you all up". Amanda giggled kicking her legs. Piper glanced down at her watch, noting the time. "If were going to start this thing on time, we'd better get a move on"
Phoebe made a sour face as Prue reached for her bag, and wedding gown, "your still not going to let Dad walk you down the aisle are you?"
"No, I already told you, Andy and I are going to walk down the aisle with Amanda together." Peace with Victor was something that Prue did not want to make, especially on her wedding day. In her opinion, he'd missed to much of her childhood to deserve the honor of walking her down the aisle.
"You're making a big mistake Prue, a really big mistake"
Downstairs
Andy, Darryl and Leo were all standing in the kitchen pondering over last minute details.
Darryl was pouring himself a cup of coffee when Victor came through the back door of the kitchen, dressed in a typical black tux. "What in the hell are the three of you wearing?" His face blanched when he saw the attire that Andy and his two groomsmen had chosen.
"It's eighteenth century nautical. Prue picked it out" Andy grinned reaching for Victors hand. Andy, Darryl and Leo were all dressed in long sleeved white ruffled shirts, black form fitting pants and knee high swash buckling boots.
Victor took a moment to scan the attire more closely, "Has Penny approved this ensemble?"
"She doesn't get a say" Andy answered making his father in law grin, "I would think you of all people, Andy would know that Penny always has to say something"
"I heard that!" Gram's voice, boomed throughout the kitchen before Penny appeared, "and I think for the record, Prue has planned every detail to perfection. Not to mention I raised my granddaughter to have an abundance of both class and style." The oldest Halliwell looked about, "Now where is bride and her darling daughter?"
"They're all upstairs" Leo replied waving his arm politely as if he needed to show Penny the way.
"Be thankful that she's dead," Victor whispered making Andy scowl, "Um technically, I'm dead too"
"And so am I," Leo added.
Darryl took a sip of his coffee and shifted his eyes, "I guess that means you and I are going to be the only men attending the wedding who are still alive"
Victor rolled his eyes looking heavenward, "Is it too much to ask that at least one of my daughters will marry outside of the supernatural"
"Hate to burst your bubble, but it looks like Phoebe's going to marry a demon" Leo quipped.
"That can be arranged" Cole shimmered in, wearing an outfit that matched the others, "Am I late?"
"No, we were just getting ready to leave," Andy replied. As the other men, began to file out, Victor pulled Andy aside.
"Can I have word with you for just a minute?"
"Sure" Andy swallowed nervous as Victor gave him the concerned proud father look. Victor rubbed his chin, "you know Andy even though I wasn't around much when Prue was growing up, Prue is still my little girl just like Amanda will always be yours. Someday Amanda will grow up meet somebody and you want to be sure that the person she decided to spend her life with is perfect."
Andy nodded uneasy.
Sensing his son in law's discomfort, Victor smiled, "I guess what I'm really trying to say is that of all men I have seen Prue with over the years, I am very glad that she has chosen you.
"Thank you Sir"
"There's just one problem," Victor's smile faded, "You're dead"
Andy rubbed the back of his neck, "I'm well aware of that, have been for quite sometime"
Victor looked down at his shoes, "Oh boy this isn't going so well. Look Andy, I have nothing against you, but have you thought of the consequences that your desire to be with Prue will bring?"
Was he kidding? Andy nearly burst out laughing at the word consequences that was a word that he and Prue knew all too well.
I mean what's it going to be like, when Amanda's in school and she wants you to attend a school play or introduce to you to her homecoming date? What will you do when Prue wants to go out to dinner on your anniversary? You can't."
"Prue and I'll work around that," Andy retorted politely while Victor continued.
"The Elders won't even allow you to be photographed, isn't that right?"
"That's right," Technically, Andy hadn't been dead long enough yet to be allowed the privilege of photographing like Leo. Leo had been dead for forty years of better. Nobody would think to recognize him as deceased spirit.
Victor sighed, I know you love Prue and Amanda but I just have to wonder what type of life you can really give them"
Andy opened his mouth to speak, but the sound of Prue's voice stopped him. Prue was standing directly behind him.
"How dare you?" she blasted with her green eyes flashing fire. "GET OUT!" Andy started to reach for Prue's arm. "Prue calm down, Victor's entitled to his opinion".
"No he isn't!" Prue screamed. "He has no idea of what we have been through!"
"I think he does," Andy said quietly. "What?" Prue looked at him as if she were being betrayed.
"He and your Mom lost each other" Andy said, "All he wants to do is to you spare the same pain"
"It's a little late, but he wouldn't know that because he didn't attend your funeral! I've already been through the greatest pain, Dad! There is nothing more than anybody can do to me!"
Prue stared down her father for just a moment more, and then turned one heel, "C'mon" she told Andy "We have a wedding to go too, minus one guest!"
