"Presenting the final award will be Kevin Alexander from 'All My Children'." Piper's head snapped up as the man walked out from backstage. She had been staring off into space, imagining what would happen when they won.
"The nominees for Favorite Show are 'The Young and the Restless', 'Days of Our Lives', 'All My Children', and 'How Am I Supposed To Love You'." The crowd clapped politely as each title was announced.
"And the winner is," Kevin opened up the envelope. His mouth moved, but there was no sound coming out of the speakers. Kevin tapped the microphone a few times, but no one could hear anything. People began looking around as the crew ran to try and fix the sound.
"Well, isn't that just our luck," Elijah grumbled, falling into the back of his chair. Piper had seen him sitting on the edge if his seat, waiting to pop up the second their title was named. Suddenly, Piper felt a tap on her shoulder.
"Mommy!" Rose whispered. "Rose! What are you doing over here?" Piper asked. "What's wrong with the sound, mommy?" Rose wondered. "It's broken, sweetie," Piper explained. "Are they fixing it?" "They're doing their best."
Leo, having realized that Rose was standing between his and Piper's chair, picked Rose up and set her on his knee. Piper looked across the table and heard Jenny speaking fluently in French with her date. They seemed to be arguing about who would win.
"Sorry for the delay, folks," A voice announced over the main speaker. Piper felt herself jump in her seat. "This shouldn't take long. Please be patient while we fix this." Other people in the room began to talk loudly with each other.
A few minutes later, Kevin tapped the microphone and a loud thump echoed through the room. "Okay, now that we have sound again. The winner for Favorite Show is…'How Am I Supposed To Love You'!" Elijah jumped out of his seat and hugged his wife.
"Did you win, mommy?" Rose yelled over the murmur running through the room. Leo stood up and set Rose on his hip. Piper nodded her head at her daughter before Leo gave her a quick kiss on the lips. They grabbed hands and the whole cast walked up on stage.
"Well, we definitely didn't expect this!" Elijah said into the microphone. A small laugh erupted. "I truly am thankful to all of you who took time to watch this show. It was really just a stupid little daydream, and now it's a Digest winner!
"But the people that I really want to thank are Piper Halliwell and Leo Wyatt. They have dedicated their lives to becoming Jenny and Austin. I don't know how this would have turned out if I hadn't found them." Elijah stepped away from the microphone and nodded at Piper.
"I first and foremost want to thank Andy Trudeau, my brother-in-law, because he was the one that got me the audition to be on this show. Then I want to thank my two sisters, who have supported me in my ambition to become an actress.
"Then, I look over at my daughter, Rose. She has been the light of my life, and I don't know if life would have taken this path if she hadn't been here. Finally, and most importantly, I need to thank Leo Wyatt. Not only has he helped me through acting on the set, but he is also the love of my life.
"I also need to thank all of you, because like Elijah said, you took your time to watch us and fall in love with our characters. This award means the world to us!" Piper waved and stepped away from the microphone. Leo handed Rose over to Piper before taking his turn.
"I want to start off by thanking my dad for getting me into all those acting classes when I was little. I know I used to hate going, but now that I'm up here, I know it paid off. I also want to thank the cast and crew, because you've worked so hard and it's been a team effort getting us here today.
"But the most influential person here is Piper. We've known each other practically our whole lives. Then we were separated just before college. When I saw her at that audition, I knew that things would turn out great. And I was right.
"We fell in love on that set, despise Elijah's contract that said we couldn't. And we share something that I hope everyone out there can find. So I'm going to do something that's never been done here before." Leo turned, kneeled down, and pulled a box out of his pocket. "Piper, will you marry me?"
The crowd awed and gasped. Piper's eyes widened and she covered her mouth with her hands. Rose looked between her parents, trying to figure out what was happening. Piper slowly let Rose slide down her leg and land on the floor.
"Piper," Leo continued, his voice no longer magnified. "I've loved you before I even knew what love meant. Now that I have Rose and we both have you, I want us to be a happy family, just like Rose's picture. Please, marry me."
"Yes," Piper whispered, nodding her head up and down. She wiped the back of her hand across her cheek, drying the tears. "I'll marry you." Leo's face broke into a grin. He pulled the ring out of the box and slipped it onto Piper's hand.
"I love you," Leo muttered, holding both of Piper's hands in his. "I love you too," Piper replied. Leo set his hand on the back of her neck and leaned forward, capturing her in a passionate kiss. Rose squealed and jumped up and down.
Piper smiled as she pulled away from Leo. "Come here, sweetie," Piper said. She picked Rose up and hugged her tight. Rose reached out, and Leo copied Piper's actions. Suddenly, someone let out a scream and the crowd jumped.
"Someone call an ambulance!" Phoebe's voice shrieked. Piper squinted out into the crowd and saw Prue lying on the floor, holding her stomach. "Prue?" Piper exclaimed. "Piper!" Phoebe called up onto the stage. "She's in labor!"
