Chapter 33

Congratulate, Celebrate and Confetti

Phoebe gently pushed the door open and poked her head inside the room before opening the door fully causing it to creak loudly though. She glanced behind her to see Piper and Paige look less than happy with her. "Shh!" Piper hushed her quickly motioning to a sleeping Prue that she did not want to wake yet.

"Sorry!" Phoebe mouthed backing away from the door.

"It's ok… ow!" Piper winced in pain as Phoebe backed up right onto her toe. "My toe!" She whispered harshly.

Phoebe offered an innocent smile while Paige stifled a laugh. Piper only rolled her eyes, "let's do this already… on the count of three… 1… 2… 3."

All three began to sing together, "happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you…" They were cut off however by a loud groan from Prue.

"Go away!"

"No way it's your birthday!" Phoebe protested jumping onto the end of Prue's bed.

"Exactly my birthday and I want a long lie!" Her voice was muffled as she had buried her head underneath all her pillows in attempt to drown out her sisters.

"Sleep in? You can't do that! You have to make the most of the day. It only comes once a year," Phoebe sing songed while nudging Prue.

"Plus it's you eighteenth." Piper added perkily.

There was still no enthusiastic response from Prue however.

"And we have presents…"

"Presents?" That seemed to make her more awake. She sat up straightaway feeling much brighter, "where?"

The other three exchanged a look and laughed at her before Piper answered, "in my room."

"Why are my presents in your room?"

"Do you want them or not?" Phoebe asked impatiently with a raise of her eyebrow.

"Hell yeah!" Prue exclaimed scrambling out of her bed, the other three laughed again as they followed her to Piper's room exchanging looks of excitement as they pictured how she was going to react to her surprise.

They found her in Piper's room staring at her bed. On it lay a big flat present covered in silver wrapping paper. A purple envelope sat on top. At hearing her sisters enter Prue cast them a curious look.

"Open the card then," Paige prompted with a sly grin.

Prue looked back at the present and moved over carefully picking up the envelope which simply read, "happy birthday." She smiled as she tore it open pulling out a cute card with a simple drawing on the front. She read the inside and then re read thinking she must have read it wrong the first time.

"What's it say?" Phoebe asked innocently.

Prue glanced up from the card, a puzzled look on her face, "it says 'Will you marry me?'" She arched an eyebrow at them, "whats going on?"

"Well don't worry that's not from us. I mean we love you but not enough to want to marry you." Paige grinned.

Piper rolled her eyes at Paige, "I think she knows who it's from."

"I still don't understand he already asked me to marry him." Prue's brow knitted together in confusion.

"Well Prue today's not just your birthday, it's your wedding day too," Piper explained smiling warmly at her, "If you agree of course," she added.

Prue closed her eyes as she tried to process what she was being told, "I'm sorry… what!" Her eyes snapped back open and she looked at them demanding an explanation.

"Open your present," Phoebe commanded tilting her head to the bed.

Prue swung back round having forgotten the present momentarily, she narrowed her eyes suspiciously at her sisters first before pulling off the paper. All her eyes registered first was the flowing white material randomly covered in red rose petals. She focused more clearly and took in the details of the dress, which was most obviously a wedding dress. The perfect wedding dress she had always imagined getting married in, from the straps that were the perfect thickness to the slightly low cut top that would show a little cleavage and no more. To the neat fitting bodice that flowed out slightly at the waist and came down long enough so that it would trail behind her but so it wouldn't be over the top.

Tears unknowingly filled up in her eyes as she gazed with admiration at the dress. Her dress.

"Do you like it?" Phoebe asked hopeful.

"I love it!" Prue exclaimed turning to face them again, "but I still don't understand how."

"Andy organised the whole thing from the dress to the registry office to the flowers… everything, well with a little of our help." Paige explained smiling brightly.

Prue shook her head in disbelief, "I can't believe you all did this. I don't know what to say."

"Well yes would be a good answer," Piper laughed.

"Yes! Yes, yes, yes!" Prue squealed happily.

"So you're getting married today?" Paige wondered outloud.

"I guess I am," Prue answered giddily, "wow this was not how I expected to spend my birthday!"

They all shared a silent smile for a moment all deep in thought before Piper broke it, "woah come on we really don't have time to stand about! We have to be at the registry office in two hours."

"Woah you're right, okay Prue in the bathroom a baths already been run for you." Phoebe pushed Prue towards the bathroom door.

"But…"

"No buts missy! Everything's taken care of. Just relax and don't worry about a thing." Phoebe ordered.

"Okay," Prue agreed, she smiled excitedly before closing the bathroom door behind her.

She looked at the bath it was brimming with bubbles and rose petals scattered over the water. A glass of champagne stood next to the bath, she shook her head in disbelief when she saw it and smiled. Then when she thought about the day ahead she couldn't help but squeal and do a little dance in the middle of the bathroom.

"Did you get the flowers?" Phoebe said as way of greeting Cole as she opened the front door to him.

He looked to the box in his hands and raised his eyebrows, "no I forgot but I brought muffins though." He answered sarcastically.

"Shut up!" She rolled her eyes and then took the box and set it down on the side table in the hall, "I can't believe the florists forgot to deliver the flowers. You're a lifesaver Cole."

"What do I get for being a life saver then?" He asked suggestively wriggling his eyebrows at her.

"Let's see ... you get to feel good about yourself that you helped out," she replied patting his shoulder.

"Yeah I do feel good but you know what would make me feel even better?" He asked her raising an eyebrow.

She opened her mouth to answer but was cut off by him pulling her towards him and kissing her.

"No Cole I can't I have lots to do…" She tried to stop him but it wasn't working.

"Yes you can," he told her with a grin.

She giggled and couldn't resist so she deepened the kiss; "did I ever tell you how good it feels to kiss you again?"

"Oh only like every day since we got back together," he answered cockily with a smirk.

"Oh okay you two break it up!" Piper screwed up her face in disgust at the sight of them making out as she walked into the hallway, "seriously ew!"

They stopped kissing, neither feeling embarrassed at having been caught. Phoebe giggled childishly. Piper rolled her eyes at her, "Cole go home and make sure Leo's getting ready and you might want to get ready yourself although there's hardly any point since you and Miss Giggles over there will probably just spend allday making out in some closet!"

"I resent that. I mean we'll make an appearance at the wedding ceremony." He grinned at Piper and sent a wink towards Phoebe.

She sighed but she was grinning slightly despite her best attempts not to, "just go."

"Aye aye captain!" He mock saluted her and quickly kissed Phoebe again before heading out the door.

"What do you see in him again?" Piper asked teasingly.

"Oh I don't know maybe that he's damn sexy or he's a great kisser or…"

"Okay, okay I get it." Piper cut in, "Let's go I told Prue you'd do her hair and make up, I said I'd go help Paige."

"Right boss I'm on it!" Phoebe mock saluted her aswell. Piper stuck her tongue out at her in response.

"Paige!" Piper shook Paige gently to wake her up. She lifted her head quickly off her dressing table and looked at Piper. She yawned and rubbed her eyes. "Oh sorry I must have dozed off Emma kept me up last night again."

"Paige how much sleep have you had?" Piper asked with concern.

She shrugged, "Oh about two hours give or take a few minutes," she laughed a little falsely.

"Paige, "Piper began in a stern voice, "if you need help would you just…"

"All I need right now is some strong coffee," Paige assured her firmly.

The doorbell rang and Paige immediately brightened, "that'll be Glen!"

"Thank you so much for taking her, you just can't get ready with her around." Paige said to Glen as he took the baby from her.

"It's fine, really I love having her." He assured her cooing at the baby now in his arms.

She smiled a little forced and felt herself yawn. He looked at her understandingly, "it'll get easier," he reassured her.

She nodded knowing he was right, "I'll see you both at the wedding."

"Okay see you later mummy," he said in a baby voice.

She smiled, "bye Emma, love you." She allowed herself to sigh as Glen left. Turning around she saw Prue walk down the stairs. Her mouth fell open in awe; "wow you look… amazing."

Prue spun around and grinned, "thanks I feel amazing!"

"Paige you're not dressed yet," Phoebe pointed out as she came behind Prue down the stairs.

"Right sorry give me ten minutes, Emma was playing up." She said before walking past them up the stairs.

Phoebe and Prue exchanged a look but neither said anything.

"So you ready to get married?" Phoebe asked after a moment.

"Hell yeah!"

Andy in the middle of speaking to some random family member that he hadn't seen in years and quite frankly didn't particularly like but had to invite on insistence from his parents caught sight of Piper walk in through the door. He quickly excused himself and rushed over to her, "is she here?" He asked a little breathless.

"Who?" Piper asked playing dumb. He looked less than amused. "Of course she's here Andy!" She assured him.

"Well I was just thinking about how bride's get cold feet and nervous on their wedding day, I've seen Runaway Bride…"

Piper laughed, "well it looks to me like the groom gets nervous too. But stop worrying she's here and she isn't going anywhere trust me."

He nodded, "you're right."

"Of course I am," she gave him a quick hug, "now be happy this is your wedding day!"

"Oh I'm happy alright," he assured her.

"Nice pep talk," Leo grinned as he came up to Piper after Andy left her.

She smiled at him; "it worked didn't it?"

He laughed, "I don't think I said this yet but you look beautiful." He snaked his arms around her waist and kissed the top of her head.

"Thank you."

"So are you coming over tonight?" He asked suggestively.

"Is Cole going to be there?" She asked raising an eyebrow.

"Oh don't worry about him. We have this system. Infact speaking of can I borrow one of your scrunchies?"

"Why?" She asked curiously.

"Well we put a different coloured scrunchie on the door handle to represent different activities that are going on in the bedroom since we only have one and neither of us like getting walked in on. Cole saw the idea on some TV show."

"That's a good plan.So what colour of scrunchie would you like me to bring?" She asked wiggling her eyebrows at him.

"Definitely red." He answered.

"What's red mean?" She asked intrigued.

"Basically that Cole won't be spending the night in the apartment," he grinned as she gave him a lingering kiss.

"Here's your coffee," Kyle handed the polystyrene cup to Paige.

She accepted it gratefully and sipped it before thanking him.

"You sure you're okay?"

"Yeah of course, I mean it's my sister's wedding day I'm happy." She assured him firmly.

"Okay then well we better get ready the ceremony starts in a few minutes," he reminded her with a smile, "oh wait did I tell you how amazing you look today?"

She grinned at him, "once or twice."

"You know I've always imagined this day." Grams sighed with happiness as she spoke to Prue moments before they were set to walk down the aisle. She quickly changed her expression however and raised a brow; "Although when I imagined it, you weren't… well you weren't a teenager let's put it that way." She looked pointedly at Prue; a slight look of disapproval on her face that Prue knew was only Grams overprotective nature rearing its head.

"You know a second ago I was about to say I'm so happy you're giving me away on my wedding day… now I'm not so sure." She cocked her head to the side and narrowed her eyes pretending to be offended.

Grams shook her head and waved her hand dismissing Prue's comment, "But," she emphasised continuing what she had been saying before, "Even though you're far too young to be getting married…"

Prue cleared her throat noisily interrupting Grams; she smiled innocently, "Grams do you have a point to make?" She asked sweetly.

"Yes right well… I'm happy for you darling." She finished with a smile.

Prue rolled her eyes playfully and then smiled, "well thank you Grams that means a lot."

"And you look absolutely beautiful by the way." Grams added admiring her grandaughter.

"I take it back. I'm definitely happy you're giving me away." Prue smiled at her then paused looking at Grams with concern, "you're sure you're fit enough to do this right? I mean you did just get out of hospital…"

"I'm fine!" Grams assured her firmly, "besides nothing is stopping me from walking my grandaughter down the aisle on her wedding day!"

Prue smiled appreciatively and nodded her head,

"Are you ready for this?" Grams asked and even though she was smiling brightly at her Prue could tell there was an underlying seriousness to her question and if at that moment Prue said no Grams would be there for her supporting whatever decision she made.

Of course there was no way she was saying no, "I've never been more ready in my life." She answered honestly.

"Shall we?" Kyle said linking arms with Paige as they heard soft music begin to play knowing that was their cue.

"We shall," she smiled at him before the two came into the view of all the guests seated on either side of them. They walked gracefully down the aisle, Paige sending Glen who was sat in the front row and Emma who was asleep in his arms a discreet wave.

Once they reached the front Kyle sat down beside Glen and said something quietly to him but Paige couldn't make out what it was, it had made Glen smile though. She didn't really care though she was just glad the two had become good friends.

She stood up the front waiting for the other two bridesmaids to join her. Having been looking at Glen and Kyle she hadn't even noticed Phoebe and Cole enter. They were both grinning like idiots, she wondered what they had been talking about but then she decided with a shudder that she probably didn't.

They too reached the end of the aisle and Cole sat down beside Glen and Kyle while Phoebe stood beside Paige. "You look happy," Paige commented.

"So do you."

Paige smiled at her and nodded as she looked at Kyle, Glen and Emma.

Piper and Leo were now walking down the aisle, Abbie in between them gripping tightly onto each of their hands. At just over ten months old Abbie had been for the last few days walking successfully with the help of someone holding her hand. All of the guests were murmuring at how sweet she looked in her dress that was the same colour as the three sister's bridesmaid dresses, baby blue. She walked slowly forward a huge grin on her face at all time obviously loving all the attention coming her way.

"This will be us one day," Leo whispered in Piper's ear. She looked up at him wearing a warm smile and nodded.

"I know."

"What do you think he said to her to make her smile like that?" Paige asked Phoebe referring to Piper and Leo.

Phoebe studied the two, after tearing her eyes away from her adorable niece. She shrugged, "It's Piper and Leo," she stated bluntly then raised an eyebrow, "he could say do my washing and she'd still smile."

Paige laughed just as Piper joined them at the front still holding Abbie's hand, except now she had both her hands, "whats so funny?" She asked.

Paige and Phoebe exchanged a look and bit their lips to stop laughing again, "nothing we're just happy." Paige stated innocently.

Before Piper could comment the wedding march began to play and out walked Prue escorted by Grams. She looked stunning, all the guests were murmuring compliments to their neighbour but Prue was hardly aware of it. Her eyes had locked on Andy and she felt butterflies flutter in her stomach out of excitement. He was staring at her and wore such a big smile on his face. She smiled back at him and for a split second he forgot that anyone else was even in the room. It was just her and him.

Eventually they were at the front, Grams gave Andy a playful stern look, "You better take care of her," she warned with a smile though.

"I will," he assured her as he watched Grams and Prue hug Grams whispering something into Prue's ear before letting go of her and allowing her to step up opposite Andy. He took her hand and squeezed conveying all he was feeling into the squeeze. She glanced over her shoulder at her sister and smiled at them before facing Andy again and shaking her head in disbelief at what was happening. He grinned at her.

The minister stepped forward and at once the rows of guests became silent. "Dearly beloved we are gathered here today to witness the marriage of Andrew Trudeau and Prudence Halliwell. I believe they have written their own vows so we'll start with the groom." He nodded at Andy instructing him to begin.

Prue looked alarmed at the mention of having written their own vows, how in the hell was she supposed to have written her own vows for a wedding she had no idea was even happening! She quickly forgot her alarm however as Andy started to speak.

"Well first of all happy birthday," he smiled at her, "so I knew it was your eighteenth birthday coming up and I wanted to do something special for you but I figured surprise parties are so over done so I decided to throw you a surprise wedding instead!" He grinned as she laughed at him while shaking her head amused. "So I'm guessing it was a good surprise since you're standing in front of me right now," she nodded softly at him.

"So we said a while back that we would write our own vows but I didn't prepare anything in advance because that wouldn't be fair on you. Instead I decided that I would just say whatever I felt when I saw you. You look beautiful by the way. You always do. But not just on the outside on the inside too and that's why I love you. When you walked down the aisle just now you took my breath away and I couldn't believe you were here to marry me. Sometimes I think I don't deserve you 'cause I know I've hurt you and not always appreciated you or treated you aswell as well as I should but today that's going to change. Because from today I plan on spending the rest of my life making you happy and trying to be the guy you deserve Prue." He finished with a soft smile on his face and a determined look in his eye.

"Prudence your turn," the minister spoke quietly just loud enough for her to hear.

She smiled at Andy, "Andy you're already everything I could ever wish for. You're my dream guy. When we were kids we were best friends and I remember on my thirteenth birthday my present from you was a kiss. I'll never forget that moment; it was five years ago today. But after that kiss I knew I wanted to be with you and we did get together. Since then we've been together… mostly." She added her smile falling ever so slightly for a split second, she quickly recovered however and continued, "you've surprised me quite a bit over the years, like getting me pregnant for one," she chuckled softly, "but this definitely ranks high aswell! I still can't get over the fact that you did this, it's amazing and I feel so happy right now… and it's all because of you. You make me feel happy Andy and that's why I love you. Always and forever."

"The rings please," the minister instructed, Darryl Andy's best man stepped forward producing a gold bang to Andy. Andy thanked him and smiled. At the same time Piper had moved forward handing Prue a similar gold band. She studied it that having been the first time she had seen it before.

"Do you Prudence Halliwell take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband,

to love and to hold from this day forward, for better and for worse, for richer and for poorer, in sickness and in health?" The minister asked.

"I do," she answered beaming with happiness as Andy slipped the ring on her finger.

"Do you Andrew take this woman to be you lawfully wedded wife, to love and to hold from this day forward, for better and for worse, for richer and for poorer, in sickness and in health?"

"I do," he answered as Prue slipped the ring on his finger too.

The minister broke into a wide smile, "then I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride." He announced.

And he did just that. The sound of clapping and cheering in his ear but he wasn't too aware of much else except that he had just married the girl he loved.

"I love you so much," he told her as their lips parted.

"I love you more," she grinned and then felt a tug on her dress. She looked down to see Abbie balancing herself by gripping onto the material of her dress. "Hey baby girl," Prue cooed bending down to pick her up and then kissing her head, "were you in on this too?" She asked referring to the secret wedding.

"Yes she was, she helped me out, didn't you gorgeous?" Andy tickled her chin and kissed her aswell.

"I hate to break up this little family moment but the photographer wants you outside for some picture," Piper informed them a little apologetic.

"Okay," Andy nodded putting his arm around his new wife as he led his two favourite girls outside.

Andy and Prue kissed for the camera as the crowd around them threw confetti at them as they stood on the top step outside the registry office.

"Okay one of the bride, groom and the little girl please," the photographer instructed.

Andy wrapped his arm around Prue's shoulder as she rested Abbie on her hip and then all three smiled for the camera, a little coaxing needed for Abbie to agree to but eventually the photographer seemed happy he had the perfect shot.

"Okay now one of the whole family."

No sooner had he said that than he regretted it. Everyone was in a big jumble. The girls insisted that the boys were included since they were thought of as family to everyone so they were lots of people scattered about.

The photographer rubbed his forehead, "okay…"

"This isn't very orderly people!" Prue clapped her hands together meaning she meant business, "okay Grams you stand next to me, then I want Piper and Leo beside you, move it people!" Quickly the three moved into place. "Okay Phoebe and Cole next to them please. And then on Andy's side… Andy where are your parents?"

"We're here," she turned to see his parents coming toward them, "Where do you want us?"

"Next to Andy please Julia," Prue stated gesturing with her free hand that wasn't holding Abbie. "And then beside them Kyle, Paige you can hold Emma and then Glen on the end."

With everyone in place she nodded in approval, "that's better!" She looked to the photographer; "you can take the photo now."

He nodded amused, "impressive," he commented.

She smiled at him, "thank you."

"You always wanted to be a photographer right Prue?" Grams remembered suddenly.

Prue just shrugged noncommittally but truth was she had always liked the idea.

"Okay well hold those poses," he instructed while fiddling with his camera. "Now that's perfect." He said looking through the lens.

And it really was. Perfect.

"Smile!" He ordered them all.

But they didn't need to be told to smile, they all already were.

There it was the last chapter of Just as Terrible Teens. It's been a whole year since I started this story. Can't believe it!
