Let's Party!

"Oh, thank God!" Phoebe gasped, wrapping her arms around Piper, as Piper sat up. Tears ran down Paige's face in joy while Prue just smiled at the scene. At first Piper was confused at all the attention and then she saw Phoebe wink at her and knew her death hadn't been a dream even though the time travel part made her head spin. Sadly though, Piper thought as she caught sight of Prue, it would never be a happen ending for her, but now, maybe, the eldest Halliwell would never need to know, but, somehow, Piper knew she would.

"Did Wyatt manage to…?" She started, but Prue and Paige both frowned at her. She laughed and shook her head, "I guess he did, it doesn't matter how."

So, I'd love to say 'the end', and that Piper lived, Jade was dead and Wyatt grew up in the arms of his mother as he should but that's not the way this family works, cause as they say, a happy ending is a story that hasn't finished yet, so lets continue…

Phoebe yawned, stretched, and after she wiped the sleep out of her eyes, she jumped out of bed. It had been a tiring day, and somehow, it seemed that she was the only one of the sisters who remembered her daughter summoning her sister, Piper, and yet, how could that have happened if that was Piper scrambling about in the kitchen? Phoebe frowned and raced down the stairs to find a grown up Wyatt watching his mother make breakfast.

Slowly, she walked to the island in the centre of the kitchen and sat next to her nephew, who had a dazed look on his face. Then Wyatt turned to her and smiled, yet it was a smile on questions and confusion, and Phoebe understood that her nephew remembered the events of the afternoon before. She nodded encouragingly at him, and, after he frowned at her, he seemed to understand that he wasn't the only person who remembered.

"So, Wy, what do you—oh, hi Pheebs, do you wanna join us for breakfast?" Piper beamed at her sister. Phoebe nodded, as she daren't say a word in case she began to cry.

"Yer, mum's making her famous blueberry pancakes and strawberries," Wyatt stated, putting a double meaning on 'famous' as he had never tasted them, neither had Phoebe as far as she could remember. But Piper just smiled, assuming he meant that he loved them so much.

"Well, son, if that's what you want, that's what you'll get. You know, actually, you two are very quiet this morning," Piper frowned. Wyatt had been down stairs for half an hour, and he hadn't yet mentioned his famous charge, Faith, a witch with every power under the sun nor Tammy, her daughter destined to marry the one of the Elders. Even Phoebe, who'd been downstairs two minutes hadn't mentioned her husband, or even woken Magi, her twelve year old daughter.

"Oh, Piper, it's the day after April Fools day, we need a rest…" Phoebe jumped in.

"Actually, Pheebs today is April Fools day…" Piper argued, and then she walked over to her sister and placed a motherly hand on her sister's forehead. "No temperature … Maybe your just home too early after the accident," Piper explained.

"What… accident?" Phoebe mumbled, digging herself even deeper.

"Remember, Magi… she cast that spell yesterday and got your memory erased, and then you got into that car crash?" Piper explained slowly.

"Maybe that's it then…" Phoebe murmured.

"Well, I really do think you outta call Co and ask him for some more of that remedy."

"No," Phoebe quickly shook her head, "I don't want to bother him," And I don't know who the hell Co is! Phoebe screamed silently. Why didn't she have any memory of this life? It was so frustrating, and then there was a knock at the door.

"I'll get it!" Piper smiled, just as Phoebe was about to offer. At first, she just wanted to get out of the room, but now she'd be able to talk to Wyatt.

"So, Wyatt…" Phoebe smiled at her eldest nephew, "How's—"

"What, no Wy, or, where's that money you gave me last week?" The blonde twenty year old smiled, turning his head back to the table mat he'd been studying.

"Wha…?" Phoebe stammered.

"Oh, at least I'm not the only one who remembers. It's so weird…" Wyatt began then he shrugged, "Well, mum's alive, Co is your on off boyfriend, who proposed to you the other week but you didn't give him an answer, Magi is your daughter (remember, her name is not Maggie it's Magi…) So, that's bout it."

Suddenly a man snuck up behind a confused Phoebe and planted a kiss on her cheek. She spun round, about to send this stranger to Hong Kong when she heard Wyatt whisper that he was Co. But, what still confused Phoebe is… What had happened in this new past of hers?

--------------------

"… And, they all lived happily ever after…" Piper smiled as she shut the book. Even though she knew that life never happened like it did in the fairytales she read to her sons every night, it was fun to escape into a world where the good guys always won.

"Yea!" Prue and Phoebe squealed, clapping little Wyatt and Chris's hands. Tiny Chris squealed with his aunties but Wyatt seemed to be a little less enthusiastic.

"Oh, poor Wy, come here boy," Paige smiled and lifted Wyatt out of his Aunt Phoebe's lap. Wyatt squealed as his aunt Paige held him high above her head, before letting settle safely on her hip. Chris gave a cry of jealousy and Prue jiggled him about on her lap, soon he quietened down.

Piper smiled quietly at the gathering, they were like a real family. Paige had seemed out of it all since Piper had swapped their powers back, but now she was finally joining in Piper thought as the youngest sister orbed Wyatt's favourite teddy bear to him and was chatting to him through it. At least his experience with Jade seemed to be forgotten, Piper thought thankfully, but she'd only know once he grew up. And it was nice to know she had a second chance to be with her sons and watch them grow up. All these jumbled thoughts bounced around her head, but quickly she pushed them away.

"I got cakes, I got biscuits, I got milk, I got… well, I got everything!" Leo joked as he carried a large tray over flowing with treats into Wyatt and Chris's bedroom. Both his sons' squealed their greetings and Leo's grin widened. Piper had always known that her husband had loved his sons, but it was at times like this that it really hit home.

"Thanks hunny," Piper greeted as Leo placed a kiss on her cheek as he laid the tray at his feet, "Hey…" She laughed as he tickled her neck.

Leo smiled at his wife, while studying her. How had he been given a second chance, why had she been brought back? Did he really deserve her? Even though he didn't know the answer to these questions, he knew one thing for sure, this beautiful woman was the mother of his children and he loved her. Wearing a fitted blouse and stone washed jeans, she looked so happy and comfortable, that you would have never of guessed that less than two hours ago this woman had been dead. It had been a miracle that she had been able just to jump up, all happy, and gather the family for a fairytale, that was just Piper though, not caring for the past, just welcoming the future. That's why he loved her.

Prue grinned at her sister and brother in law as Piper punched her husband playfully. It was almost as if nothing had changed, besides the fact she was supposed to be dead, and no matter how much she tried to hide it, she really was jealous of Paige. Even though she was the youngest, the mysterious Paige Matthews understood Piper well enough to be a brilliant sister, and she could handle little Wyatt and the danger they had faced a lot better than Prue. No matter how long Prue had been dead, she still seemed out of touch with her sisters. But that was all about to change, Prue promised her self.

"Let's go on a picnic tomorrow!" Prue suddenly suggested causing all the Halliwells to turn to her, even the boys.

"What is this, Prue Halliwell putting fun before work?" Piper joked, pushing Leo off her lap.

"What do you mean?" Prue frowned.

"Oh, come on sis," Phoebe smiled, putting an arm around her eldest sister, "We're free of Jade now, aren't you going back to work?"

"But, how could I, I mean, I'm supposed to be dead…"

"Supposed to be hunny…" Phoebe repeated.

"And I guess I could change that supposed to be to a never have been," Paige said quietly. Prue looked stunned at her sister, Paige didn't even know her, yet she was willing to help Prue carry on with her life.

"Yer, we'll all help," Piper added.

"But what about personal gain?" Prue objected.

"Personal gain, personal smane…" Phoebe frowned, "Okay, so not one of my best rhymes but…" The whole group laughed as Phoebe shrugged.

"So, the picnic's on?" Piper grinned.

"Yer, sister!" The remaining sisters yelled happily.
