A/N: I know, I know, it's been forever since I last updated. Moving into a new home leaves precious little time for anything else. But first and foremost I want to thank each and everyone of you who stayed with this story and took the time to leave me your thoughts. So BIG THANKS TO: HollyShadow, Geller Bing, foureverCharmed, Barb6, Piper-Leo-alwys, dutchygirl, heather1021, halli-halliwell, Broken Skye, LeoPiper-Forever, Maracev, Punk Rok Pixie, and Dark Angel Blue Fire!

Here is the final installment to this story. I am in the process of writing two more, just not sure which one I will go with first. As always they will be Piper and Leo centric cause that's what I write!

Chapter 8

The attic was set. Paige held two crystals, while her siblings held one each. Once they read the summoning spell, they would not have a lot of time to capture their prey. Piper held out a single sheet of white paper which held the spell. She looked at her sisters. "We ready?" At their nods of approval they read:

Mischief makers who are tiny and fast,

A spell to find you we do cast.

For all the trouble you have brought,

You immediate presence is now sought.

The three sisters tensed, ready to go into action when the moment was right. They were not disappointed as two small figures materialized on the Oriental rug. The imps had no time to come to terms with what happened. On cue the girls strategically placed the clear crystals. Instantly the crystal cage was activated.

Jid and Jad's eyes grew round as they grabbed for each other in a fierce hug of support.

Crouching down, Piper looked over their captives. "All right you two, we need to talk."

Shaking now, Jad looked up. "What do you want?"

"First you're going to undo whatever you did to Leo and Cole."

"If we do will you let us go?" Jad asked fearfully.

"It's a start."

Phoebe was having trouble gathering any anger toward the two. They looked like children. Admittedly demonic children, but children all the same. "You also have to promise not to bother us anymore or any humans for that matter. You play down there."

Paige couldn't believe what she was hearing. "Phoebe! You're not seriously thinking of letting them go?"

Worried they would loose their way out, Jid and Jad immediately agreed. "We promise! We'll fix everything, cross our hearts and hope to die." Realizing what they had said, Jad retracted the last part.

Piper was torn. Part of her wanted to blow the two up for causing so much trouble and more importantly putting Leo's life in danger. Another part of her thought if they let these two loose on the underworld it could help the good guys in the long run. She sent them a hard look. "If you break your promise, we'll find you and they'll be no second chance. Understand?"

The two imps simply nodded their heads. Piper's look was enough to strike fear in any demon.

"First you have to fix Cole and Leo." Phoebe instructed.

Swallowing hard, Jid stepped forward. "They need to be here and we need to be free of this cage."

Piper wasn't too thrilled by the idea, but realistically she figured this may be the case. "Fine, but one false move and we summon your butts back her and you're toast. Got it! Leo! Cole!"

The two men entered and stood side by side. Reluctantly the sisters moved one of the crystals allowing the imps freedom. Floating up, the two hovered over each of the men. Just as before they began to chant and the girls watched avidly as white and grey clouds emerged from Leo and Cole. With a powerful pulse the clouds were put in their respective hosts. Like before, the transfer forced the men backward, where they landed on their backsides on the floor.

Piper ran to her husband. "Leo?" And she watched as his eyes took on a soft look.

"Hey honey, it's good to be back."

"It's very good to have you back." She accepted the gentle kiss her husband offered.

In front of Cole, Phoebe looked closely. "How do you feel?"

"Fine I guess. A little strange yet."

Leaning forward she wrapped her arms around him and he responded with a hard kiss.

"Can we go now?" Interrupted Jid.

The sisters looked at each other and then to the imps. "Go and remember our deal." Piper warned.

The imps didn't need to be told twice and out they winked.

Piper helped Leo to his feet and it was a good thing for he wavered jut a bit. "You sure you're okay?"

"Yeah, just feel a little out of it."

"Personalities swaps will do that." Joked his wife.

Later that night, Phoebe and Cole had finished a nice relaxing meal at a nearby restaurant. It wasn't fancy or exclusive, but it was quiet and they didn't need to worry about getting a table.

"This is nice." Phoebe smiled happily. "I'm glad we came here."

"Me too. Beats the rat race of the other places and we were definitely owed a dinner."

Her smile deepened at the reference as he went on. "Phoebe I know I'm not perfect. I know I can be a little," he paused here as if trying to find the right word. "Intense." He finally settled on. "I'm trying and sometimes I don't always succeed. I'm never going to be an easy going guy, it's just not who I am. You're going to have to take the good with the bad."

Reaching across the table she placed her hand in his. "I know Cole, and you're right. I don't want you to change. I got a taste of the gentle Cole, not so impressed. Part of it is me. Maybe I didn't want to admit it, but I like you're dangerous side. It's exciting and Lord knows I'm never bored."

"Really?' His eyes lighting up.

"Really and I'd kinda of like to prove it."

Glancing at his watch he said, "What about Piper and Leo? We promised to give them the manor tonight."

"Who said anything about the manor?" Her eyes sparkling with devilment.

Soft laughter floated from the master bedroom of the Halliwell manor. "Leo stop."

"Stop what?" He asked as he continued to nuzzle the side of her neck. The two had spent the past few hours in bed enjoying each others company among other things.

"Haven't you had enough?" Piper grinned as she said it.

"Of you? Never." His lips now moving to her bare shoulder.

"Leo?"

"Hmmm?"

"I want to apologize."

Without taking his mouth from her shoulder he looked up. "Huh?"

Shifting her position forcing him to cease in his actions and pay attention to what she was saying. "A few days ago I was complaining about you not getting upset over things or taking charge more. I was wrong." His warm green eyes still held confusion and Piper thought he never looked more adorable. "After the little personality swap with Cole I realized I want you just the way you are. I depend on your clear head and sound judgment, especially when I loose my temper. I need you there to calm me down and give me perspective. When you went down to the underworld alone without telling me, I was so torn between anger and overwhelming terror that's you'd be hurt. I didn't like it."

"Piper." He automatically comforted.

"See, that right there. That's what I want. Why I love you so much."

A slow smile played on his lips and a twinkle came to his eyes. "I love you too." And he leaned over with a soft kiss.

Piper felt her heart melt at the tenderness in the caress of his lips. She felt a stirring deep in her stomach as she felt his strong arms encircle her in a deep embrace. Looking forward to what was coming next, she let her self enjoy. Knowing it would be a wonderful coupling of two people who loved and respected each other. A man and a woman who were meant to be together always. Soul mates in the purest sense. She let Leo take her to that place. A place only for them.
