Okay, this is the last chapter, just something I added to let you know how everything worked out for everyone. The italicized sections are events from the past, ones Leo are remembering. I hope you like!

Chapter 26: Epilogue

Leo sat in the expectant father's lounge, the cartoon animals on the wall smiling at him, mocking him. Piper had been in the delivery room for over an hour and no one had told Leo anything. Leo was supposed to be in there with her once everything was 'safe', according to the doctors. The pregnancy hadn't been easy for Piper the last few months, and that terrified Leo.

Eric took the microphone in his hand, ready to make his speech at Prue and Andy's wedding reception. "I just want to wish Andy and Prue a happy life together. If anybody can make it work, it's you two."

Phoebe took the microphone from him. "Andy, I would say welcome to the family, but you've already been apart of it since you were six and told Grams you were going to marry Prue." Everyone laughed.

Eric took the microphone back. "We would also like to congratulate Piper and Leo on their engagement." Every applauded and cheered. "Now, there's only one more thing left to say before we get this party started." He bent down on one knee and opened a little box in his hand. "Phoebe Halliwell, will you marry me?"

Leo didn't know how he was avoiding a panic attack, but he was. He was sitting in the expectant father's lounge, the very place his father received the news that his wife was dead. Piper had the same condition his mother had: preeclampsia. It meant Piper had really high blood pressure that was cutting off oxygen and food to the baby. If untreated, it could develop into eclampsia and cause Piper to go into convulsions during labor and die.

Needless to say, Leo was terrified. And those damn cartoon animals on the wall weren't helping.

Piper was getting violently sick in the bathroom. When she walked out, hand on her stomach, Leo asked, "Are you sure you're okay? Maybe you need to go to the hospital. You've been like this for weeks. Maybe it's more than just the stomach flu."

Piper took his hand and led him to the bed. She sat cross-legged on the bed and Leo did the same. She held both of his hands and looked him in the eyes. "Leo, I'm not sick. I'm pregnant."

The doctor walked out of the double doors and headed towards Leo. Leo stood up and walked to the doctor. Before the doctor could say a word, Leo had already bombarded him with questions. "Is Piper okay? Is the baby? Are they still alive?"

The doctor held up a hand. "Piper is fine. As a matter of fact, she's asking for you."

"The baby…?"

"Isn't born yet."

Leo let out a sigh of relief. Both were still alive.

Piper, six months pregnant, was at the top of the stairs when she felt a sharp pain in her abdomen. Piper clutched her stomach and doubled over in pain as she was hit with another spasm of pain. She leaned too far over and tumbled down the stairs. She lay at the bottom, unmoving.

That was how Leo found her when he came home from work. At the sight of her body, he was reminded all too much about the day she fell off the roof.

"Piper!" he cried, going to her side. "Piper! Wake up. Come on, wake up!"

Leo got her out to the car and drove her to the hospital where they learned she had preeclampsia, and just how precious the life inside of her was.

Leo scrubbed up and went into the delivery room where a pale Piper lied on the bed. Leo went to he and kissed her forehead. "I'm glad you're okay," he told her. He grabbed her hand and held it tight.

"I'm fine. How are you holding up?"

"I've been better."

Piper cried out in pain as she was hit with a painful contraction. Leo held her hand tighter. When it was over, Leo smoothed her hair away from her sweaty forehead. "You're brave," he told her.

"Leo?"

"Yeah?"

"I'm the one in labor."

"I know."

"Well, I'm the one who supposed to squeeze your hand."

"So?"

"Could you let go of my hand just a little? I think you're cutting off the circulation."

"Oh," Leo said, releasing pressure on her hand. "Sorry."

"It's okay, honey."

Piper walked into the kitchen where Leo was sitting at the kitchen table, reading. He saw her walk in and got up, intending to help her into a chair. "I thought you went to bed."

"Leo, I think I'm in labor," she said.

Leo stood there for a moment, trying to remember what he was supposed to do.

"Hospital…" Piper said, reminding him.

Leo ran to the hall closet and got her suitcase. He put it in he car and turned on the car. He stood there, trying to remember if he forgot anything. He looked at the house and remembered… Piper.

He went back to the kitchen where she was still standing. "Almost forgot me, didn't you?" she asked, holding back a smile.

"No, I was going to warm up the car," he said.

"You are a horrible liar."

"Sorry. I'm just nervous."

"You're nervous?" she asked ludicrously.

"Good point."

Leo got her into the car and sped to the hospital. Halfway there, she stopped timing her contraction and he turned to say something to her, but her head laid against the window. "Piper?" he received no answer. "Piper?" She didn't reply, couldn't because she was unconscious.

Leo raced to the hospital, fearing that his wife of not even two years was doomed to repeat his mother's fate.

"Just one more push, Piper," One of the nurses said.

Piper squeezed his hand and pushed hard. Leo heard a tiny cry and Piper relaxed on the bed, exhausted. She leaned back and closed her eyes, thankful the pain was over.

Piper looked at Leo who smiled at her. Through the window across the room, she could see Prue and Andy holding their one-year-old son, Jack. Phoebe and Eric stood next to them.

The nurse gently handed Piper a bundle of blankets. In the middle of it lay her tiny daughter.

Leo and Piper both had tears of joy running down their faces. Leo reached out and touched one of his daughter's tiny hands.

Leo thought she was the most beautiful thing he had seen. She had soft, downy, light brown hair. Her eyes were closed, but Leo thought she had Piper's eyes. Looking at her, Leo could feel the love for his daughter already bubbling inside of him.

"Hi there, Allison," Piper said, calling her by the name they both agreed on if it was a girl. They named her after Leo's mom.

"Welcome to the world, Allison Paige Wyatt," Leo said to his daughter, calling her by her full name.

Piper and Leo surrounded their daughter, taking in every inch of her tiny body. As Leo looked at his wife and daughter, as Piper looked at her husband and daughter, they both new everything would fine and the long road of trouble was behind them, forever.

Allison fell asleep in her mother's arm, holding her father's finger.
