A/N: Sorry about the last couple of depressing chapters, this one should cheer you up a little! And I know I mentioned the kids staying at Victor's, but they wound up with Darryl and Sheila. Sorry about any confusion!

Chapter 8: Over…for now

Piper sat with her family and some police officers on one side of the court room, while a representative of Social Services and some other officers were in the benches to the left of them. She was unconsciously gripping Leo's hand with fear, and with pain, since she could see Wyatt and Chris on the other side of the room. Currently, Phoebe was on the stand.

"And none of those belonged to me, Paige, Piper or Leo. I was in my bathroom that morning and none of those were in the cabinets, I really have no idea how they got there, but what I do know, is that none of us put them there."

"Thank you, you may step down." Lucky for Piper, they were in family court with no jury; just a judge and Darryl had said he was one of the more understanding. Darryl was next on the stand.

"Mr. Morris, when you went to the Halliwell/Wyatt home the day following the children's removal, what did you and your fellow officers look for?"

"We searched for evidence both supporting and opposing the claims of illegal prescription drug use in the home. We did fingerprint testing, and searched for more illegal substances."

"What did you find?"

"On the actual pill bottles we found fingerprints that were on the doorknob of the house and the cabinets but matched none of family's fingerprints. We also found some evidence that the house had been broken into, but everything else was fine, actually surprisingly fine."

"What do you mean surprisingly?"

"Well usually in a case like this there are some other things wrong. But everything else in their home was perfect, the drawers and cabinets were even baby-proofed. Both children had toys, a crib or bed, there was baby food, diapers, everything was seemed normal. Something is off here."

"What do you think could be off?"

"Since there is evidence that the house was broken into, I think that maybe the drugs were planted." As Darryl's partner talked, Piper started to loosen her grip on Leo's hand. He really was helping their case; the judge seemed to be listening. When it came for the opposing side to question him, they had almost nothing to ask; things were looking good. Finally, it was time for the judge to decide if Leo and Piper could be dropped of the charges and have the boys returned to them. After waiting for an impossible half hour in the hall, everyone was called back into the court room. Once everyone was seated, he spoke.

"After reviewing the evidence both parties have given me, I am ordering the charges of possession of illegal substances dropped and the two children Wyatt Halliwell and Christopher Halliwell-Wyatt placed back in the care of their parents." Leo almost jumped out of his seat he was so happy. Finally, this was all over. He was about to get up when the judge continued.

"However, this is not completely over, I would like the police to continue looking into this case and to discover who planted the substances in the home. And as long there are no more reports in the next six months, this will be taken off the record of both parents.

Court dismissed." Piper and Leo were at Chris and Wyatt's sides before the judge even had a chance to stand up. Piper had Wyatt in her arms and was swinging him around, while Leo just held Chris and talked to him.

"Don't worry Chris, everything is okay now, Daddy and Mommy are here and you can go home. We're all together again." This was such a relief for the whole family. But there was still one thing on all of their minds, who did this? But no one was worrying about it, not yet, for now they would just be happy with being together again. Paige and Phoebe had joined the reunion and were also playing with their nephews. Everyone just wanted to get home, so after thanking Darryl and his partner numerous times, they headed home.

Piper couldn't stop smiling the whole way home. Finally, she had her children back with her. But still, who did it was in the back of her mind, nagging her. She decided that on Monday, which was only two days away, she would go to the station herself and tell them that she thought Dan Gordon set them up. This way it would really be over. But for now, she was home, and so was her husband and children and for now that was all that mattered.

A/N: There you go, a more happy chapter, The next one will be just Pipre/Leo fluff, with some nice family moments!
