Disclaimer: I do not own charmed. Never have and never will.

A/N: Just want to say thank you to everyone. Forgot to say that this is the sequel to All Good Things Come To An End-I think you should probably read that one first.

CharmedBri: Huh? Do you mean All Good Things Come To An End-the prequel to this? Oh, well-I'm glad you liked this.

Bree: YAY!!! Chapter TWO of the sequel!!! I know I'm excited-are you? I actually realised after writing it that it wasn't really short. And I figured that as long as I update enough you people will be happy...very happy hopefully.

Polina: Glad you love it! It's probably going to be mostly romance-they will have some up and downs though-but, I will introduce a bit of magic and their powers-not sure when. Not until chapter 5 at least. So glad that you're a sucker for romance-I figure if I can't write the real stuff I can dream/write it...and it helps that Leo is sooo perfect!

BeAuTy AnGeL: I know it was sweet; two things I can resist 1) Piper/Leo fluff (and lots of it) 2) Sweet Leo/children moments...oh, wait there's a third thing I can't resist Leo topless! Yeah, I'm wondering what her reaction will be too (I know I wrote the damn thing-but it's been a while). And you don't have to wait any longer for her reaction.

HyPeR-PiPeR-312: Hmmm...yada, yada yada? Didn't know that! Anyway, thanks for clearing that up! I got you emotional in that??? Well, seeing as everyone of your reviews is the same, maybe you shouldn't review anymore. No, honestly, keep reviewing I love reviews and I don't care if they're the same. And you found my very crappy site-I'm impressed!

Gryffindor620: Ya, damn those freakin' cliffhangers, but if it keeps people reading then I'm happy!

Romanticgrl89: I'm glad you love I and think it's as good as the last one.

TelekineticDarkness: I know, I love those bonding sessions-I'll have to write some more soon...Ya, oops, busted-hey that's a good idea for the chapter name! But he was kinda busted.

Huge-holly-fan: Yay, we're gonna party so hard!!! ( Hopefully that's where they're headed, but you never know with these stories, you just get some inspiraration and your ideas are too good not to write. But it's fairly safe to say at the moment that they're going to get back together!!! *touches wood* Then we can really party, and rock the world!!! No-one'll know what happened!

Sci fi fan: Good. I'm pleased (oh look-new word for glad) that you liked it.

KristinaL.Mercado: Yeah, you did say it was good already, but I don't mind how many times people tell me its good as long as it really is. No, there was no magic in the last story; but there will/is in this one-they just don't know that they're witches.

Iheartgreenday: Yup! The sequel...glad you think its looking just as good as the first. Nakita: Yeah, but then if there weren't chapters you'd have to wait longer, because you'll need to write the whole thing, and then it would take hours, and hours to read! Glad you liked it.

Pipery03: Well it's long, I'm not sure how emotional it is, but I hope it lives up to your expectations.

Classicchic: Cool-here's the next chapter!

Patricia: Thanks for your reviews. Glad your liking this story already-I think we all miss the fluffiness...

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~Piper's POV ~*~*~*~*~*~*~

I lay in bed and I awoke to the sound of what I thought was someone singing. I think they must've seen me stir as they stopped before I could see who it was. I could feel their presence...for a minute I thought it was Leo, but that's impossible, he's dead. I waited a beat and I could hear the person shuffling around and their shallow breathing. With each second that passed, I grew more certain that it was Leo. I didn't know how, but I didn't care, I just longed to see him, longed to hear his voice which I hadn't done for seven months, not since he'd...he'd...died. I decided to speak up.

"Promise me that you'll still be there when I open my eyes." I said as I felt a tear slide down my cheek.

"I promise." Said a low, familiar voice, my suspicions were confirmed, it was him.

"Leo? But how? I thought...I thought..." I said furiously blinking, to make sure that I wasn't seeing or hearing things.

"What... that I was dead. I still am, technically." He said.

"But how?" I asked, he took a step forward, then he looked at me, as if he was asking for my permission, I let him come closer.

"Piper, you probably won't believe this, but you have to. Listen to what I'm about to tell you." He paused and I stared at him, not knowing what to do.

"I'm a whitelighter, we're good people who died, we get made into whitelighters and we're then made to watch over good witches; we have to guide and protect them. And I'm kinda lucky, because my charges are my family."

"Leo, what the hell are you talking about? You can't just walk in here; tell me that you're still dead, but that you have been like reborn into some whitelighter that has to look after witches. And then you say that you're lucky! How can you possibly be lucky, you died?! And you left me all alone to raise our little girl or did that just slip your mind?"

"No Piper, it didn't slip my mind-I shouldn't even be coming down here, not yet anyway not until your destiny is revealed. The only reason I've been coming down here is to see my daughter...and to see you in the process. I don't know what you think, but I still love you...both of you." I raised my eyebrows at him.

"I didn't mean I was lucky that I died, I'm lucky because you are my charge; you, you're sisters and our daughter."

"What?" I asked still confused, although I was less angry now.

"I mean, you and you're sisters are witches and you'll be known as the Charmed Ones when you eventually get you're powers."

"Witches?"

"Yeah, it has been foreseen that you will do a lot of good, and I'm the one that has been chosen to watch over you, guide you and protect you. Although I may have been watching over you too much. It was all I could do to ease my pain; Piper, you weren't the only one who was hurt by my death, I was too, they turned me into a whitelighter, and I wasn't allowed to come back to you, even if you are my charge, or wife or whatever. Speaking of which, I really must be going..." Leo turned and looked at the crib where Melinda was sleeping.

"Wait!" I found myself saying. "I...I don't want you to leave yet. Will you stay, just for a while?" I asked with yet another tear sliding down my cheek, I tried to turn away, but Leo had already seen me.

"I shouldn't really, but I will, if you want me to." Leo said as he sat down on the bed; he extended his arms and I collapsed into them. In his arms I found love and comfort, feelings which I hadn't felt in months.

"You have no idea how much I missed this." Leo whispered into her hair, the threat of tears in his voice.

"Oh, I think I might."

"Not really, you weren't watching over your wife and daughter, seeing them, watching them go through so much pain, knowing that you couldn't do anything and the pain was because of you. And all you wanted to do was make it better, make it easier, tell them that everything's going to be okay."

"You...you really felt like that?"

"Piper...what do you think? Of course I did." I smiled and looked up at him; I was still a bit weirded out, seeing as I was in the arms of my dead husband, but maybe, just maybe I could see him again and we could have another shot, but...I don't know.

"Didn't you have to go?" I asked because things were getting awkward and I was getting confused, I wasn't sure what I was or should be feeling.

"Yeah. You going to be okay?"

"I think so." He looked at me kind of longingly and lovingly but got up and walked over to the crib, he looked down sadly then disappeared in a load of blue and white bright lights.

**********

After that night for the next week I kept waking whenever I felt Leo's presence. He didn't know it, or at least I don't think he did, but I would lie awake watching him with Melinda, our daughter. It seemed just like old times, when Leo would take her from me and rock her to sleep; it was obvious that he loved that little girl, anyone could tell. I could tell that him not being able to see Melinda, see us, was tearing him apart, but to be honest it was doing the same to me. All I wanted was to have my old husband back, the man I had loved with all my heart and still do love. My feelings are clear as day, and I really do want him back, but things are complicated, if only things were much simpler...

One night, about a week after our little heart-to-heart, I found myself automatically waking up and waiting for Leo to come, but that night he didn't come, not at the usual time anyway. Even little Melinda had noticed this and she was only 9 and a half months old. I realised she was crying so went over to the crib and picked her up.

"Hey Mellie, shh...it's okay baby, don't cry. I'm sure Daddy's just been held up." I took Mel back to my bed and just held her, she soon quietened down. A while later Leo orbed in looking flustered.

"Leo, what's wrong?"

"The Elders, my bosses, they were talking to me, it's nothing to worry about; why?"

"Because we...Melinda missed you. I know you come down every night, I watch you, and Melinda's really observant, she noticed that you hadn't come."

"I didn't know you watched." He said smiling

"Yeah, well...you want to hold her?" I asked, waiting for Leo to nod do I could hand him our now sleeping child. As I put her into his arms my hand brushed against his arms sending shivers down my spine, as he used to when we first went out. I bit my lip and half smiled deep in thought.

"What're you thinking about-if you don't mind me asking?" I'd forgotten how well he could read me, how well he knew every expression, every feeling, he knew me inside out.

"I don't mind you asking; I'd forgotten how well you know me. I...I was thinking about you, us and how we used to be." He smiled,

"The good old times, anytime in particular?"

"No, well yes; the time when you gave me this," I paused showing him that I was still wearing the bracelet he had given me years ago, "when I told you I was pregnant and you proposed and that summer we spent in L.A. when you told me who you really were, I was thinking of when we were under the tree, in the rain..." I didn't need to say more he already knew that I was going to say 'and we kissed'.

~~~~~ Flashback ~~~~~

"Piper, I think...no, you know that I know that I am falling in love with you. And as a token of my love I wanted to give you this." Leo said pushing a rectangular box in my direction. I just stared at him, barely believing a word he said. Finally I looked down at the box, and opened it. Inside, lay a beautiful golden bracelet, inscribed with the words, 'Piper, I love you always. Leo'. I looked down at it as Leo put it on my wrist, I was almost in tears, but managed to say,

"I love you too Leo." Leo got up and hugged me then gave me a passionate kiss before returning to his seat

~ ~ ~ ~ ~Flashback changes~ ~ ~ ~ ~

"I can't remember, but they were important at the time though. One thing I remember doing was dreaming about my future - especially as I grew older - I dreamt about life and...and...I hope you don't think its lame but I thought about love. I'd never told or shown anyone my special spot, but I always dreamt that I'd show the woman I loved with all my heart, probably the one I wanted to marry this spot, and that woman is you." Leo said smiling, but timidly.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

"I don't know, not telling you...actually getting pregnant in the first place...Wait, you're not mad or anything, are you really okay with this?"

"Piper, I don't mind that you didn't tell me, and anyway it wasn't your felt that you got pregnant, I think I had something to do with that." He paused smiling, and kissed my forehead.

"And I'm not mad or anything, I really am happy about it. I mean it was unexpected, but I told you before that I wanted to have children with you, so I'm happy, very happy if you are." Leo said placing his hand on my stomach. I smiled.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

"Piper, ever since I met you, I knew deep down that one day we'd be standing here. I promise to love and respect you from this point forward as your husband, as my wife, my lover, my friend and my soul mate. All I am is yours." He said gazing at me affectionately.

"Leo, you are the best thing that ever happened to me. I was afraid that you were too good to be true, that maybe I didn't deserve someone as pure and beautiful and loving as you are. But here we are surrounded by the people that I love the most and I feel so proud and blessed to be your wife. Leo, I was born to love you and I always will."

And then it was done, a few moments later we were married, Mr and Mrs Wyatt and I couldn't be happier.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

"So Piper, how's it feel to be Mrs. Wyatt?" Leo said asking me as I awoke the morning after our wedding.

"It feels amazing to be your wife. Right now I'm so happy; it's as if I'm walking on sunshine!" I said gazing into Leo's eyes.

"God, I love you so much Piper." Leo said pulling me into a passionate, deep kiss.

"I love you too, Leo."

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ End Flashback ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

"You mean all the times I told you how much I loved you?" He asked his gaze shifting from Melinda to me.

"Yeah..." I said with a hint of a smile.

"I still mean everything that I said, I love you, I never stopped and I never will; I don't care if you've moved on or don't feel the same, but since you were thinking about it, I had to tell you."

"Leo...I know, I feel the same way, that's why I was thinking about it; when my hand brushed against your arm, it made me feel the way I used to. And I think that's a good thing." I said smiling. For a moment we gazed into each others eyes, but then we both looked down at Melinda.

A while later we were both sitting on my bed watching Melinda, sleeping in Leo's arms, all the time I was sitting next to him I kept wishing we were just a bit closer, just a bit nearer each other-whilst he may have been in touching distance, I still wanted to be closer to him.

"You tired?" He asked.

"Yeah...It's hard work being a single parent, but you wouldn't know that would you?" I said sighing.

"Piper, I don't know what you want me to do about that. I wish things were different, but they're not. You know how much I wish none of this had happened but it did and there's nothing I can do about it. But believe me I wish I could take all your stress and pain away, I just want you to be happy." Leo said as he loosely put his free arm around my shoulder.

"I know." I said before giving into my heart, and moving closer to Leo, resting my head on his shoulder. "It's just...I want to be happy, but I can't be; not truly happy anyway." I said trying to keep my self awake, but my tiredness was so overwhelming, and being so close to Leo I couldn't help, but shut my eyes.

I only meant to rest my eyes for a minute, but I must've drifted off, as I woke to see Leo rocking Melinda.

"Hey."

"Hey, I'm sorry I fell asleep...I was just so tired." I said yawning.

"And you still are..." Leo said as he sat back down next to me, "Mel was asleep when I came, were you waiting for me? Is that why you're so tired?"

"Maybe."

"Well you shouldn't have waited...but I'm glad you did." Leo said as he reached over and moved my hair out of my face.

"I'm glad you're glad." I said taking Melinda from him. "Was she any trouble?"

"No, not at all - never is."

"It's nice to know that she can be good." I said smiling.

"Hmm...she looks a lot like you."

"Yeah, but she has you're eyes."

"Really? I hadn't noticed that before."

"I hadn't until...you... you know. When I really needed you, I would look at Melinda, and I'd see so much of you in her eyes; like the way they look when she's happy...like your eyes now."

"I'm just pleased that she reminds you of me...that you found comfort to some degree."

"It wasn't as good as actually having you by my side, but I didn't care, it felt like part of you was still alive and not just in me."

"I don't know how to top that-but I'm here now if you need me."

"Yeah, but how long is that."

"Roughly two hours until everyone else wakes up considering it's a Saturday."

"Leo, do you think..." I began, but didn't want to go on, in case he said no.

"Yeah, I do think," He teased. "But what is it you were going to say?"

"I know you think and I was going to say; do you ever think that we could work things out?"

"You mean as a couple?" I nodded shyly, "I don't know, I'd like to. I think if we both wanted to enough then yeah...why did you ask?"

"I wanted to know what you thought, because of all my feelings, and if we couldn't then it would be pointless, just hoping that you might make a move or something; I needed to know before I devoted myself to waiting for you every night, wasting my life away." I said as I put Melinda back into her crib.

"So, you actually wanted me to make a move?" He asked standing up. My eyes darted all around the room, not knowing where to look. I decided to turn back to Melinda. I heard Leo approaching, he put his hands on my shoulders and spun me around, and then he looked at me with love and warmth in his eyes. Our faces were just centimetres away from each other and within seconds he had pulled me into a long, deep, passionate kiss. It pretty much felt like heaven, there was nowhere else I wanted to be at that moment, it was where I belonged.

"Wow!" I whispered as we pulled apart, still clinging to each other; neither one of us wanting to let go.

"Yeah, I think that's what happens when you've been waiting about seven months to do that." Leo said smiling. I put my arms around his neck and smiled.

"You sure can kiss well for a dead guy!" He laughed.

"I'd prefer it if you didn't call me a dead guy..."

"What's it worth?" I asked. Leo pulled me even closer and kissed be again.

"Ok...you win; I won't call you dead, even if you are." He narrowed his eyes at me.

"Good...Piper?"

"Uh-huh."

"You have this really annoying habit of making me not want to leave...but I have to."

"And you have this really annoying way of making a girl want more; but I understand."

"Do you?"

"Yes! Now please leave, otherwise I'll never let you go."

"Okay, but I'll be back later."

"Promise?"

"I promise. Love you." He said as he kissed me and orbed out mid-kiss.

"I love you too, but it'd be nice if you didn't do that." I said to the air, before climbing back into bed.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

A/N: I seriously need to find a new word for glad. I use the word glad way too much. So as it's a new fic-I will try to use it less; so any ideas of words I should use instead, I'd be grateful for-unless you don't mind me saying glad all the time.
