Yes, yes it's finally here. For all of you who have been waiting for the sequel to the Army of Witches, it has arrived. I know I've kept you waiting for a while and for that I am truly sorry, but I didn't know quite what to do with it. So I've decided that this is going to be about the time that the sisters got to have demon free and a little bit afterwards. I may have another part to it after that, but we'll just have to wait and see how it goes. So without further ado, let's get this show on the road!
Disclaimer: I don't own Paige, Piper, Prue, Phoebe, Leo, Cole, Andy, Patty, Grams, Victor or any of those other people on Charmed. I only own the O'Reillys and the idea for this story.
Piper sat down on the couch and looked at her three sisters. They were all standing in front of her looking absolutely beautiful in their wedding dresses. Prue's was a traditional white with thin straps. Phoebe's was a strapless dress with intricate beadwork down the whole thing. Paige's was a combination of both, being strapless and plain white. They each had their hair in delicate curls around their shoulders. Prue's hair was black, as it always was, Phoebe's was a lighter brown, and Paige's was a strawberry blonde.
"I can't believe you guys are all getting married today!" Piper exclaimed, tears of joy forming behind her eyes.
"Piper, we haven't even gotten to the ceremony yet and you're already crying," Paige said. Piper sniffled a little, her nose now bright red.
"I know, but you're all just so beautiful," she said, choking on her words. Prue, Paige, and Phoebe all looked at each other, rolling their eyes before sitting down next to her. She pulled them up in a big group hug. Tristan orbed into the room with a clipboard. She was wearing a simple burgundy dress with her hair much like the brides'. Along with being one of the bride's maids, they had asked her to help do the organizing of the wedding.
"Okay guys, we've got the cake, photographers, guests, High Priestess, dead relatives, and just about everything else we need at the church. All we need is you," she announced. Prue nodded and she orbed out of the room to go do some other task.
"Well, are you guys ready for this?" Phoebe asked. They all nodded and got up. Paige orbed them to the church. Transportation was one thing that they had agreed not to spend any money on. The wedding itself had been a fast decision. Andy and Cole had both proposed to their girlfriends the same night that Frisco had proposed to Paige. Instead of paying for three separate weddings, they decided to do one conjoint wedding. It was a smart idea, but it had been a little hectic considering that all Halliwell women were equipped with their own opinions and incredible stubbornness. Now that the time had come though, they were all just happy to be getting married.
Frisco was pacing back and forth like a caged lion while Cole and Andy were doing their last minute fix-ups on their tuxes. They had been in the same room on the side of the church since 7:00 that morning and Frisco's nerves had only gotten worse.
"Can you please sit down?" Cole asked from the mirror.
"No," Frisco replied shortly. Andy sighed and walked over to him.
"Look, watching you pace around like this is only making us more nervous. Calm down a little," he said.
"Sorry, it's just that I'm about to marry the most incredible woman that I've ever met. It's kind of hard not to be nervous," Frisco replied.
"I know how you feel. On my wedding day, I was nervous as hell," Leo said, coming into the room.
"Are white-lighters allowed to swear?" Cole asked with a grin.
"No, but screw em," Leo replied. (A/N: I thought it was so funny in Lucky Charmed (at least I think that's the episode) when Piper told Leo to take Wyatt 'Up There' and he's like 'Well I'm not supposed to, but screw em')
"So what's up?" Andy asked.
"Well, your beautiful brides-to-be just arrived with my beautiful already bride," Leo informed them.
"Guess that means it's time to go then," Cole said. Leo nodded and walked out. Cole and Andy grabbed Frisco by the arm and took him out and into the main room where all of the guests were. They greeted several people along the way, but kept moving towards the front for fear that Frisco would get away from them and run straight back to the room. They took their places at the front and everyone sat down as music started to play. Piper and Leo came out and walked towards the front, separating when they got there. Next was Tristan and Bailey, then Lyra and Tanner, and finally Tara and Payton. Once they were all situated, the music changed to the Bridal Chorus. Prue, Phoebe, and Paige all came out at once. The guests gasped as was expected with their arrival and they smiled graciously at them as they made their way towards their grooms.
"We are gathered here today to witness the marriage of these six people and to watch as they take their first steps into a new era of their lives. Prue and Andy, would you take each other's hands? You have arranged to exchange your own vows as I understand it. Would you please do that now?" The High Priestess said as the ceremony started. Prue and Andy took each other's hands and looked deeply into one another's eyes.
"Andy, when I first met you I had no idea what love was. I was young and stupid, just living my life as a normal teen with a normal boyfriend. Though I didn't know it then, you had just begun to show me the meaning of love. When you came back to San Francisco, I was so glad to see you. And when I kissed you for the first time since you had went away, it was then that I knew I wanted to spend the rest of my life with you. It was then that I truly understood what love was. I love you Andy, and I want to spend the rest of my life making sure you know it," Prue said. With each word tears began to fill her eyes. Paige and Phoebe had already begun crying and they still had to wait to exchange their vows yet.
"Prue, when I asked you out for the first time in high school, I knew that we would be together forever. Even though I left for a while, I never forgot about you. You are the most beautiful and perfect woman I have ever met. It was your self confidence, strength, and the fact that you knew exactly what you wanted that drew me to you, and still draws me to you to this day. Some men say that asking a woman to marry them is the hardest thing they've ever done, but for me it was the easiest because I had made up my mind a long time ago that you would be the one I married. And here I am now, about to slip this ring on your finger and I finally feel complete. I love you," Andy said. Tears were rolling down Prue's face as they put the rings on each other's fingers. The High Priestess wrapped a rope around their hands, much like what Grams had done to Leo and Piper at their wedding.
"This rope has been blessed by the love that these two people hold for each other and it now ties them together eternally," she explained. She then nodded her head to Phoebe to begin. Her and Cole took each other's hands and looked into each other's eyes the same that Prue and Andy had done.
"Cole, when I first met you I knew I was in love. Every day after that was like an extreme bliss; full of love and laughter, and also sadness and despair. We've come so far and there have been many obstacles in our way, but we got through them together. Our journey has only begun and I'm so glad I don't have to do it alone, but I get to do it with the one person who I love most. You," Phoebe said. Cole smiled at her.
"Phoebe, what you just said tops anything that I could have said. The millions of things that have gotten in our way haven't once stopped us. You took me from the lowest possible place any person could be to the very highest with just one kiss and you do it every time. There are no words to describe what we have, it's deep inside of us and I can feel it every time I look at you. We were meant to be and we always will. I love you Phoebe, no matter what," he said. Each word brought new tears to Phoebe's eyes. They went through the same process as Prue and Andy, exchanging rings and being tied together with the rope. Finally it was Paige's turn. She took a deep breath before starting.
"Frisco, of all the people here we've known each other the shortest amount of time. For most people, that would be a death sentence, but for us it just shows how much we were really meant to be together. Fait sent me and my sisters to your house that day and it wouldn't stop until we were together. Now here we are and I'm so happy. You make my life worth while. You make me want to get up every morning. You make me feel so safe and protected just with your presence. You do all of this for me. You're my savior, my light, my love," she said. Frisco stared at her the entire time. His worry was washed away the moment she walked in the room and it wasn't about to come back now.
"Paige, from the moment I asked you to marry me to the moment you walked in this room I was so nervous that I could have gone insane. But as soon as I saw your face, my worry melted away and all I cared about was you. All I cared about was getting up here and taking your hands so that I could finally be married to you. You are the most amazing thing that has ever happened to me and every day is like a new adventure. The day hell freezes over and the clouds fall from the sky is the day I'll stop loving you. Until then, I can't wait to have a million more adventures with you. I love you," he said. Not once did his words falter. He was completely at ease. As the rope was tied around his wrist he sighed in relief. He was finally married to the woman he loved. They all were.
"Prudence Anne Halliwell and Andrew James Trudeau, do you take each other to be blessed in love and happiness as long as you both shall live?" the High Priestess asked.
"We do," they said in unison.
"Phoebe Melinda Halliwell and Cole Benjamin Turner, do you take each other to be blessed in love and happiness as long as you both shall live?"
"We do."
"Paige Natasha Halliwell and Frisco James O'Reilly, do you take each other to be blessed in love and happiness as long as you both shall live?"
"We do."
"I now pronounce you husbands and wives. You may kiss the brides," the High Priestess said. Each of the couples shared a passionate kiss while applause filled the air. The orchestra began playing the Wedding March and Paige grabbed Frisco's hand and ran down the aisle, Phoebe, Cole, Prue, and Andy not far behind. They ran into the lobby and orbed back to the house to wait for everyone to get to the reception. Finally Tristan orbed in to tell them that everyone was where they needed to be and they all orbed to P3.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls I am pleased to introduce Paige Halliwell, Prue Halliwell, and Phoebe Halliwell and their new husbands Frisco O'Reilly, Andy Trudeau, and Cole Turner!" Leo announced. The crowd clapped and cheered as the six of them entered the club, going slowly down the stairs so as not to trip over their dresses. When they finally got down to the floor, they were whisked away by Piper to a private little section in the corner of the club. Piper gave each of them a hug.
"Congratulations you guys!" she exclaimed.
"Thanks," Prue, Phoebe, and Paige said in unison. Patty, Grams, and Autum came over quickly.
"Hey, congrats!" Autum said, giving Paige and her brother a hug.
"I'm so proud of you," Patty said, giving all of her daughters a hug, although Piper had been married for a while now.
"You look gorgeous," Grams said, giving her granddaughters hugs. When all of the hugging was over, they all sat down.
"I can't believe I'm married," Paige said.
"Amen to that," Phoebe said. Prue just smiled, extremely happy to be here with everyone on the happiest day of her life. There was something nagging at the back of her mind, but she didn't say anything. After talking with their family for a little bit, the girls got up and greeted the guests taking thousands of congratulations thankfully with everlasting smiles plastered on their faces. The grooms shook hands with people from their families and introduced their brides to those who hadn't met them yet. All three of the girls were welcomed graciously and loved by everyone they met. After about an hour, Piper gave her signal to Leo and he went back up to the microphone where the DJ was.
"Alright guys, it's about that time. Would the brides and grooms please report to the center of the dance floor?" he asked. The crowd cleared out and everyone watched as they did so. Leo nodded to the DJ and he put on a CD which started playing Shania Twain's 'You're Still the One'. The six of them began slow dancing as their song played.
Looks like we made it
Look how far we've come, oh baby
We might have took the long way
We knew we'd get there some day
They said 'I bet they'll never make it'
But just look at us going on
We're still together, still going strong
(You're still the one) You're still the one I run to
The one that I belong to
You're still the one I kiss goodnight
(You're still the one) You're still the one that I love
The only one I dream of
You're still the one I want for life
You're still the one
As the song played on, other people began to join in the dancing, but the original six were only concerned with themselves. To each one, they and their partners were the only ones there. The song had been one of the few things that they had all agreed on instantly. It described each of their relationships perfectly: Prue and Andy's separation and then finding each other again, Phoebe and Cole's battle to be together through the laws of demons and witches, Paige and Frisco's love through the war and death, and even Piper and Leo's fight to be married several years before. All of them had their reasons for choosing the song. As it came to an end, everyone moved away so that the brides and grooms could get out. They went back to their corner and sat down. They talked some more, getting visits from random people. The four sisters all had something they needed to say, but weren't sure when the right time would be.
"I'm pregnant," they all suddenly said at the same time. The chatter around the table stopped and the sisters exchanged confused glances.
"What?" Leo, Frisco, Cole, and Andy asked in unison. Paige was the first one to recover from the shock.
"We're pregnant. You guys are gonna be dads."
It is so much fun to be writing this again. I love this story, it's cool. I'm not sure if all of the chapters are gonna be this long, but oh well. Paige is officially Paige Halliwell if you hadn't noticed. I didn't want her to be Matthews anymore. I hope you guys liked the middle names I picked for them. I thought the idea of a conjoint wedding would be cool. Hope you guys are as excited for the kids as I am. Till next timeā¦
