A couple weeks passed and Ryan and Shea moved in permanently. Piper got her room back, and Ryan slept in Paige's old room. Shea bunked with Piper. Everything was going great.

"Hey Ryan?" Piper yelled from the kitchen.

"What?" He yelled back, standing in the doorway.

"Oh." Piper lowered her voice. "I was wondering if you wanted to help me set up at the club?"

"Who's playing?" Ryan asked, brushing his hair out of his eyes.

"Some group called Dishwalla." She responded.

Suddenly, Ryan walked into the kitchen. "Piper did you call…" He stopped short when he saw a look alike talking to Piper. Piper looked up and stared at Ryan, who just walked in. She narrowed her eyes at the Ryan in front of her.

"Shea!" She yelled. The Ryan in front of her glamoured back into Pier and the girl started to laugh.

"Shea!" Ryan's voice boomed through the room, and Pier stopped laughing.

"Yes?" She asked meekly.

"That wasn't very nice." Ryan said, lowering his voice.

"I know. But it was funny." She started to laugh again, but stopped when she saw Ryan's expression. "Sorry Piper." She apologized.

Piper looked back and forth at Ryan and Shea. God, he'd make a great father. She thought. "Hey. It's okay, no harm done. At least I didn't kiss you." She said, making her way over to Ryan. As Shea covered her eyes, pretending to be grossed out, Piper kissed Ryan.

"That's so gross you guys." Pier yelled, running out of the room.

Breaking the kiss, Ryan looked at Piper. "I've got great news."

"What? You saved a bunch of money on car insurance?" Piper said jokingly. (A/N: I just had to put it in there. It was necessary.)

"No." Ryan said, chuckling a little. "I got the papers." He waved a small pile of papers in front of her face. She reached out to grab then.

"What paper's?" She asked. Grabbing them, she unfolded them and read them over. She looked up. "You got divorced. It's finalized?" She asked, awed.

"Completely and utterly finalized. And it also allows me to ask you a question. One that I should have asked you over ten years ago." He whispered.

"What?" She looked up at him. He got down on one knee as he pulled a little black velvet box from his pocket.

"Piper Halliwell, will you make me the happiest man on Earth and marry me?" His eyes flickered to hers. Tears formed as she clapped her hand to her heart.

" I don't…I don't know what to say." She said, as he stood up.

"How about yes?" He said as he slipped the cold silver ring on her finger.

"Yes." She whispered. She reached up and put her hands around his neck, kissing him. "Yes."

Shea was walking, in the rain. Piper had forgotten to pick her up again, and she was forced to walk home. The heavy drops pelted on her head as tears streamed down her face.

"This is the third time this week." She said out loud to no one in particular. "How come they keep forgetting me?"

Deciding to take a shortcut through an alley, she turned and peered around the corner before walking through it. Rats scurried across the road as she avoided them. She jumped over abandoned trashcans and heaps of trash that spilt over the dumpsters. Out of nowhere, a demon shimmered in. His red and black skin looked hideous and he bared pointy teeth at her, like he was threatening her. Using her power, she threw him into a dumpster, causing more trash to spill. He quickly recovered and stood up. Forming an energy ball in his hand, he shimmered next to her. Again, she threw him into a trashcan and looked around for some weapon to use. While she had her back to him, he slowly stood. Taking careful aim, so that he would hit her as she turned around, he waited. Finally, she realized that he was back again. She turned to face him as the energy ball sailed through the air in slow motion. When it hit her, it felt like a thousand knives stabbing her, over and over again. She watched as the satisfied demon shimmered out, laughing to himself. Then she dropped to the ground, helpless.

Chris orbed into the manor, looking for Phoebe. He half-expected Shea's usually greeting. He ducked, waiting for the rubber band to come whizzing at his head. But, it never came. Chris wondered where Shea could be. Walking into the kitchen, he found Ryan and Piper hugging. He had gotten over the fact that Piper had chosen Ryan over him, and he was fine with it. He preferred Phoebe anyway. He didn't want to interrupt their moment, but he wanted to know where Shea was. As her whitelighter, he had a certain responsibility. Before he could walk in there, however, Phoebe came up behind him.

"Hey there you." She said happily.

"Have you seen Shea?" He asked, getting right to the point.

Phoebe looked a little hurt. "She went o school this morning. It wasn't my turn to pick her up. I had to pick her up yesterday. Ask Piper." Phoebe said, walking away.

Chris ran to catch her. "Hey there, slow down. I'm sorry, it just. Whenever I orb in, she always gets me mad at her, because she annoys me. But today, she didn't. I think something's wrong." Phoebe saw the fear in his eyes, and let her guard down.

Wrapping him in a hug, she said to him, "Go ask Piper. It was her turn to pick her up." Chris thanked her and kissed Phoebe on the forehead. Phoebe ran back upstairs and Chris headed towards the kitchen. When he got there though, Piper and Ryan had disappeared. He sensed for them, and saw where they were. He laughed and orbed upstairs. Standing outside of Piper's door, he listened to the voices inside.

"I can't believe we're going to get married." Piper exclaimed.

"I know, me neither." Ryan said. They started laughing, and Chris edged the door open. Peeking in, he saw them kissing. As much as he really didn't want to stop them, he had to. He was about to say something, when blue and white lights filled one corner of the room. Chris was leaning against the door, and it crashed open as he saw who had just orbed in. Piper and Ryan had been kissing furiously and were making out on the bed. Piper looked up and a gasp escaped from her mouth. Ryan too, got up and looked. He caught his breath. No one even noticed Chris had been standing there. Piper was only focused on the newcomer.

"Hi Piper." Leo said.

Phoebe heard the crash and dropped her laptop on the bed. Putting on a sweatshirt, because she was wearing a tank top and it was cold, she rushed out of her room and down the hall towards Piper's. She saw Chris standing still, his mouth open and hanging down to his feet. As she entered the room more, she saw Piper lying on top of Ryan, who had rolled over. They were both staring into space, or so it looked like to Phoebe. Their mouths were open wide, just like Chris. Phoebe took a couple more steps into the room and gasped herself.

"Oh my God. Leo?" She whispered as he hand fluttered to her mouth and her heart skipped a beat.

Shea had been lying on the ground for what seemed like hours, but had only been 10 minutes. So this is what dying feels like she said to herself. Maybe, I can be a whitelighter, or something. I can be really good she promised the Elders, looking up at the sky. When she had left school, it was around 5:30. It was now around 6:00, if Pier's watch was right. The sun had started to set, and the horizon lit up the sky. At least I can die as the sun sets, she thought. That's seems like it would be a cool way to die. Gasping for breath, she closed her eyes and said a Hail Mary. She thanked God for blessing her with Ryan and Piper, Phoebe, Chris and all of her friends. She took a deep breath and let it all go, watching her hot breath make circles in the cold air. She closed her eyes and laid her head back. She didn't fight anymore.

Chris was the first one to react. Closing his mouth, he swallowed hard. "Piper. Did you pick Shea up today?" He asked.

Piper looked as if someone had just smacked her in the face. "Oh No. I forgot to pick her up." She said, getting off the bed and walking towards Chris.

"Who's Shea?" Asked a confused Leo from the corner.

"Leo. Come with me. We'll talk." Said Phoebe, gently pulling Leo down he hall and the down the stairs.

Chris tried to sense Pier. He felt her presence, but it was weak. "Something's not right. Her presence is fading. Come on!" He grabbed Piper's hand and orbed to Shea. Piper saw Shea lying there and screamed. She rushed over to her and lifted her limp head off the ground.

"Come on Shea! Wake up!" Piper yelled as Chris moved his hands over her blood stained stomach, trying to heal the wound. "Why won't it work Chris?" Piper asked.

"I can't heal the dead. And Shea's dead." Chris said, lowering his head in defeat.

Piper held Shea close to her. She started to cry, the tears slowly rolling down her cheek. "I'm so sorry I didn't pick you up. I meant to. Really I did. But… I forgot. I'm so sorry." Piper wailed as the rain started to hit harder. The globs became heavier as Piper's tears fell more freely. A single tear rolled off Piper's chin and onto Shea's wound. A golden light shone from Shea's wound as yet another tear touched its surface. Another one fell and soon the wound was completely healed. Chris watched on in amazement. Shea's eye's fluttered, but Piper was still bending over her, crying.

"God Almighty. Piper, save some tears for the rest of us, would you?" Shea's voice said, raspy.

"What? How?" Piper asked dumbfounded.

"Don't ask me. All I know is that I was flying, and then I landed. I was flying Piper." Shea said, as if she was remembering a distant memory, not something that happened 5 minutes ago.

Piper laughed and helped Shea stand up. She held her hand, and Chris grabbed Shea's other hand.

"Jeez Piper. You really know how to wreck someone's day." Shea said as they all disappeared in blue lights.
