AN:

"You can live with me in this house I've built out of writers blocks."

Pete Wentz, the fabulously sexy bassist and lyric writer for Fall Out Boy said that. And that basically sums up my life. Right now, sorry for making you wait so long. But yeah.. here I am at last with my final chapter. About six years after Chapter 24, as short and fluffy as I can write it.

Piper lay back on her back, listening to the rhythmic sounds of the waves hitting the edge of the sand. The intense heat and the sounds of the seaside were slowly lulling her into sleep.

"Mommy mommy mommy!" Came the voice of a little girl shouting, running up the sand to her. Piper opened one eye.

"What honey?"

"James threw sand at me!" She squealed, and sat on the beach towel next to her mother. Piper was struggling to keep back the giggles as she saw the pout that her four-year-old daughter now wore.

"I'm sure he didn't mean it, Kiera."

She sniffed, and wiped away the tears that were just forming in her eyes, "But he did Mommy. He did."

"Kiera, go and play now." Piper brushed the dirty blonde hair away from her daughters, face to reveal the beginning of a smile.

"Ok mommy!" And off she ran, happy as any kid on the beach.

Piper let out an exasperated sigh and closed her eyes again as Leo lay down next to her, planting a single butterfly kiss on her shoulder.

"Hey you." He breathed against her skin and even through the heat, Piper's skin broke out in Goosebumps.

"Hey yourself." She answered and turned over to face him. "Where you been all day?" She asked him, linking her fingers through his and staring at the matching gold.

"Just walking around…" He stopped to kiss her nose, "Thinking…" His voice trailed away and he looked into her eyes. She knew what he'd been thinking about. It was probably the same as her.

"Yeah me too." She rested her head against his shoulder and shut her eyes.

"So…" He started and Piper lifted her head. He looked at her as she breathed in deeply. All her thoughts of sleep gone from her head.

"I think we can handle it now. I mean Kiera's four now; she's five in a few months. Going to Nursery soon. I think we can do it." She bit her lip, as she witnessed Leo let out a breath he didn't realise he'd been holding in.

"Me too." And he kissed her, smiling against her lips. "Me too." He whispered.

The sun was setting just on the horizon, the sky a mess of orange and pinks, Piper stood at the edge of sand staring out. Feeling the happiest she had ever in her life. She felt arms, snake her way around her waist from behind and she leaned into him.

"Where's everyone else?" She asked him, never turning around.

"At the barbeque waiting for you." He told her and kissed her temple lightly, "You comin'?" She nodded and took Leo's hand as he led her to where the rest of her family sat around the picnic tables.

Phoebe & Cole with their now 8 & 9 year old girls, looking as in love as ever. Prue and Andy with the 11 year old triplets, and the 6 year old girl called Marissa. Paige and Kyle with 7 year old Bryony and 5 year old Kai.

And at the end of the table was her perfect little Angel. Looking even more perfect in the light of the fire. She looked so much like her father. The brilliant green eyes, the dirty blond hair, the way the corners of her eyes crinkled as she smiled or laughed. Everything about her screamed Leo. She silently hoped the new baby would look like her.

She went to sit down next to Keria and pulled her onto her lap.

"How do you feel about a new baby brother or sister?" She asked and Kiera broke out into a smile.

"Really!"

"Yeah…"

"That's great! I hope it's a girl coz then I can show her how to plait hair and play with Barbie dolls!" And she threw her little arms around Piper's neck. Piper laughed and looked at her sisters who had just heard the news.

They were are smiling and congratulating her and Leo. Piper just smiled and placed a hand on her stomach.

-oxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxo-

"I believe in you Leo."

Leo heart soared in chest a huge grin broke out on his face. He leant forward and kissed her deeply, which she instantly responded to.

"I love you." He told he gently when they pulled apart.

"Love you too." She said and fell into a peaceful slumber.

And from somewhere high above Darryl looked down on his charge and smiled. She was gunna be just fine.
