Amongst a flurry of white satin and lace out popped the head of Phoebe Halliwell. Her eyes were bright and starry with a huge smile that burst into a giggle bug that Piper immediately caught.
"Perfect! It's just perfect," Phoebe squealed looking herself all over followed by admiring herself in the mirror.
Piper nodded in agreement. "Yep. Carmine did a great job on those alterations. Close enough to be flattering without enough to be brazen."
Phoebe nodded while looking over the train behind her. "Yea. I ant to look just right for my wonderful guy when he first sees me on our wedding," sighed Phoebe while running her hand down her side. "Our wedding day!" she said closing her eyes while smiling dreamily.
Piper snapped her fingers. "Phoebes. I hate to burst your self-induced bubble, but Coop sees you all the time. No surprises here in magic land," explained Piper flatly.
Phoebe's eyes popped open. "Oh yea, right. I still want to look my best. We have a whole lifetime together. You think this train is too long?" she asked throwing it out six feet behind her.
"Phoebes, you look fine. I have to admit it's even more beautiful than my own wedding gown, but that wedding was on the fly, you know," admitted Piper now looking up and checking out her own memories.
"Same here. How about up front? You don't think I'm showing?" asked Phoebe patting her stomach looking somewhat worried.
A little knowing smile came to Piper's lips. "No, sweetie. You're still far from the 'putting all your love out front' stage. Still is hard to believe you're on the mommy wagon."
Now Phoebe broke into her biggest smile. "Yea. I can't believe I am finally having my daughter. Little whomever."
Piper started looking very cute. "A scary thought . More little hellion Phoebe Halliwell's running around. At least you're getting the daughter, I have two mischievous boys to raise. And magical ones at that!"
"Oh Piper, you still have time to have one," Phoebe said while stroking her abdomen.
"Age-wise yes. Freetime-wise, I don't have a second that's my own. Since Chris started walking he hasn't stopped. Thank God for Leo!" called out Piper.
A white orb field surrounded her as Leo appeared hugging her tightly. "Did I hear my name called?" he asked kissing her
"Said, yes. Summoned, no. But this is a very nice surprise, my dear Angel," Piper said quietly pulling his arms tighter around her. "You haven't missed much. Just girl talk, but you are welcomed to stay."
"Done!" he replied kissing Piper again.
Phoebe smiled at the display of affection while wandering over her closet. Pulling out a lavender bridesmaid dress she exclaimed, "Fran, Lizzie and you are ready, but Paige still hasn't had her last fitting. And the wedding is in three days!"
"She's still off and that leppie trip. Probably having the time of her life. Thank God the rest of the magical community is at least tolerating us now and since we undone the dirty dead. You could always use the bridesmaid dresses leftover from your least wedding, Phoebes," said Piper cutely. "Hmmm?"
Phoebe shot her a dirty look. "Not funny!"
Piper nodded her head. "They would be a bit devilish!"
"Come on! We've had enough of that with the hellion sisters, Piper," complained Phoebe while putting back Paige's dress.
"Then how come, Billie is your junior Bridesmaid? Huh?" asked Piper now standing next to Leo with his arm around her waist.
"She has been a big part of out lives the last year, Piper," Phoebe reminded her sister. "Even if they did mess things up for us."
Piper cocked he rhea dot one side. "Mess? She set off a magical bomb. And we had to pick of the pieces!"
"Well, you mostly," admitted Phoebe "You really did save our magical assets!"
"I know you've been occupied, but with the wedding only three days away I think Paige has had enough with the old Irish luck."
"Maybe she just needs a little more time," suggested Leo.
"Time enough at last! Let her take a break and spend some time with Harry and with us. Witchy duties, sister duties, wifely duties. WHAT-ever!" yelled Piper.
"Hey, settle down. I'm the nervous bride!" chuckled Phoebe.
"And I'm the CATERER!" Piper shouted back. "Where is she, Leo?"
Leo looked up and thought for several moments. "I don't know, just can't sense her."
"What lost again along the magical superhighway," asked Phoebe looking very worried.
"Leo?" asked Piper
Leo concentrated. "No. She's nowhere."
Piper pricked up her cellphone "Ring Harry. Hey, Harry. Piper. Any sign of my errant sister? AH huh. Ah huh. OK. Don't worry. Bye. Nothing in three days. You'd think her hormones would have gotten her back for at least one night!"
"Piper!" exclaimed Phoebe.
Piper put up her hand. "It's OK. We're all married ladies here or almost. These urges are natural. Now what. Leo?"
Leo thought again. "It not like she's dead. Just nothing on my charge radar. Something must have happened."
Piper pursed her lip. "OK Leo. I guess it's up to us"
"Wait, Piper!" called out Phoebe as she started to change."
"No, no, no! You stay. We'll leave the blushing bride to her plans. And we're off to Munchkinland." Piper cried out sarcastically.
Leo smiled as his pissed off wife. "Leprechaunland!" he reminded her.
Whatever? she cried out as she disappeared with Leo.
