*Several Years Later*

Cole and Piper were happily married with their kids: Benjamin (6), Melinda (4), and Chris (2). Because Leo was an Elder, Prue was made their Whitelighter who would often orb away to be with Andy. Paige finally married Richard who stuck around despite her standing him up because of magic problems. However, they were both surprised to find out that the other was a magical being. As for Phoebe, she was seriously involved with her boss—Jason, but still has a feeling or two for Cole.

Piper was watching her children asleep from the doorway. She was unaware of Cole coming up behind her.

"The future's going to be alright, Piper," he said.

"I know, but I just can't help but feel that something is going to happen," Piper turned to face Cole.

"Let's not worry about the future and worry about now," Cole said as he kissed Piper. Piper kissed him back. The kiss became passionate.

"Get a room you two," Prue said as she past them on her way downstairs.

"We just may do that," Cole called out after her.

He led Piper to their room and flicked his hand at the door. The door automatically locked. Piper and Cole began kissing again as Cole laid her on the bed. He pulled at her shirt while Piper tugged at his pants. Suddenly Piper turned Cole over and rolled on top of him.

"Oooooh...you're good...real good," Cole said.

"Really? 'Cause you're bad...real bad," Piper said as she unbuttoned Cole's shirt and worked her way downward to pull off his pants. Piper came back up to Cole's face and left a trail of kisses.

There suddenly came a THUD from upstairs. Piper and Cole pulled back and stared at each other. Piper pulled her clothes back on and ran up the stairs. Cole was pulling his pants back on and ran after her.

"Is everything all right up there?" Paige called from downstairs. It was followed by some laughter.

Piper ran to the attic where she heard someone pulling himself around. Piper instantly recognized him.

"Chris?" Piper ran to him.

"Mom?" Chris gasped. He was wounded and bloody all over.

"EVERYBODY! COME UP HERE QUICK!" Piper screamed.

"Mom?" Chris gasped again. "It...was...horrible..."

Chris buried himself in his mother shoulder, sobbing and shaking.. Cole came up to them, but didn't know what to do.

"EVERYBODY COME HERE NOW!" he shouted.

There were people running up the stairs.

"Chris?" Paige asked.

Prue came forward.

"Prue! Quick! Heal him!" Piper yelled at Prue.

Prue ran over to Chris and healed him. It took forever, but Chris was finally healed, but he was still bloody.

"I don't think that's his blood," Prue said quietly.

"It's all my fault!" Chris cried.

"Honey, what happened?" Piper cried to Chris.

Chris sobbed into Piper's shoulder again. "It was horrible! They were all dead! Blood everywhere!" Chris cried harder.

"Honey? Who's dead?" Piper cried at seeing her son in so much pain.

"Dad, Mom. Dad's dead! And it's all my fault!" Chris cried keeping his head down and not looking at Cole.

Paige and Richard exchanged nervous glances. Phoebe and Prue looked at each other, with pale faces. Piper held onto a sobbing Chris as she looked at Cole horrorstruck. Cole looked like he couldn't believe this. He slowly put his hands to his face as he sunk downward.
