That night, they were all celebrating Valentine's at P3. Sam had collected another couple favors and had gotten a band who would play any romantic song as requested.

"Thanks for the dance" said Sam after dancing with Chris.

"Ma'Lady, after all, you saveth my butt" bowed Chris to everyone's laugh.

"Thy're welcome" said Sam as Wyatt gave her a drink and a kiss.

"Care to dance with me?" said Wyatt whispering in her ear.

"I'd love to" she said putting her forehead to his.

That night, as they danced, they felt in love all over again. She looked into his eyes and saw that light she had seen the first time he'd stolen that first kiss. He caressed her cheek and felt her skin soft as if he had just made that first contact. She signed as the song continued smiling at him. He stared at her lost in her eyes. Everything seemed to be floating away from them, the music, the dance floor. Soon it was just the two of them alone in bed surrounded by nothing than naked silence.

He laid next to her softly passing his fingers barely touching her just making out her figure till he reached the top of her head. He wondered at her beauty and she trembled at his admiration. She kept caressing his lips afraid even now she would never taste them again. As gently as they had started, he climbed on top of her and kissed. It was sweet nectar for two waiting lovers. Two hungry hearts who ached lonely in the dark. His touch healed her every bone and made him feel strong again. Pain vanished from whence it had settled all this time. They felt healed when together this way. Wyatt moved ever so slowly as she looked at him deep into his eyes wanting to get lost in them.

"I love you" he said staring at her lips before laying his weight inside her making her tremble beneath him. "Stay with me" he whispered. He continued his nonstop motion repeating his last words in a steady whisper to her ear until reaching climax. She held onto him ever so tightly in response. They slept wrapped in each other as they once had till morning rise.

As she got out of bed, Sam felt her eyes itching. She went to the bathroom and rubbed her eyes clean but they were still a bit itchy so she kept rubbing a bit when she climbed down to the kitchen. Chris was there eating cereal.

"Morning" she said with the biggest smile on her face.

"Morning" he smiled back. "You didn't go back to the club last night. What were you guys doing?"

"None of your business I presume" she answered still rubbing her eyes. "Pass me a bowl" Chris did and Sam poured some milk, but spilled. "Damn"

"It's OK. I' got it" said Chris wiping the spill. "Feeling alright?"

"I guess. My eyes are…itchy. Maybe the smoke from last night"

"Maybe all that love in the air"

"Knock it off!" laughed Sam. She poured some cereal missing the bowl and had to pick some up from the table. "I guess I need to rest my eyes a little more"

"Wyatt keeping you up?"

"Shut up!" she said to Chris who sat next to her. The rest of them came for breakfast except Wyatt. "I'll get him" Sam said as everything was ready and Chris got scolded for starting the day with fruity-O's.

"Knock-knock" said Phoebe and Paige opening the door.

"Hey guys!" waved Sam. "Just in time for breakfast"

"Great" said Paige running to the kitchen, while Phoebe fixed her hair in front of the mirror for a second; Sam went over to her to welcome her, but the moment she touched her she felt a shock of electricity between them. "What was…?" The rest of Phoebe's question was drowned by a premonition. Wyatt and Sam cried over an empty crib. Sam was rubbing her eyes like mad now. "Not again" she whispered to herself. "Are you alright?" Sam wouldn't stop, her eyes red now.

"I'll live. My eyes are real itchy. I'll just go wash them. Could you call Chris when you get to the kitchen?" she smiled, walking to what she remembered were the stairs, but all she could see was a big blur all of a sudden. Chris came with a piece of toast in his mouth.

"What's up?" Sam grabbed his sleeve.

"Getting worse. Take me to Wyatt, please" Chris was about to ask some more but her eyes were turning slowly white. Chris helped her up the stairs.

"Are you sure it's a good idea?"

"Just give me a minute" said Sam closing the door behind her. She felt her way onto the bed and sat but Wyatt was not there. He entered a second later followed by Chris.

"Hey, are you ok?"

"Don't think so! They're starting to burn now…" she cried in pain. Wyatt tried healing her, but it didn't work.

"What happened, Chris?!" demanded Wyatt.

"She came down to the kitchen and was having some trouble with her sight but she wasn't like this!" said Chris worried. Wyatt held her tight and she searched for his hand to hold. She sobbed trying to keep quiet.

"It's stopping…the pain" said Sam between sobs.

"Can you see anything?" said Wyatt staring at her whitened eyes.

"No" she held on to him.

They told the rest and tried everything they could think of, but none of it worked. Phoebe thought it would be wise to tell them what she saw some other time. Leo thought it would be wise to consult the Elders on this one. The sisters called for them, but didn't work till Wyatt tried.

"I hope you know, I'm going on a limb here to sort out your confusion" said the Elder upon arrival.

"You know what's going on with her" said Wyatt.

"We do. However we cannot reverse our decision""

"What decision?" said Piper.

"You must understand. The greater good requires sacrifices"

"Skip that part of the speech. We know it by heart by now" said Piper

"A great threat is growing within the depths of the underground. We need to prepare for what's coming"

"By doing what exactly?" intervened Phoebe this time.

"We must bring the Charmed Ones power to the fullest. This family's ultimate power reunited will be our best chance"

"How do you mean to do that?" asked Paige hesitantly.

"Prue?" asked Leo.

"What about her?" said Piper.

"It's done, Leo"

"But you have no idea if she can survive it. She wasn't born to receive that kind of power"

"I'm really sorry. It was just a risk we had to take. The mortal might be expendable"

"I'm sorry, but the only mortal here is me" said Sam. "What about me?"

"Yeah, what about her? What have you decided to do to her?" demanded Wyatt. Chris held him back. The Elder stared at Leo for a second. Leo explained.

"They've recycled Prue's soul to restore her powers into the family"

"What?!" was heard here and all around.

"How would they even do that?" asked Chris.

"She's pregnant" said Phoebe thinking of her premonition. Sam sat on one of the steps unable to speak.

"So, you saw an opportunity and just threw the dice on my family's tree huh?" said Wyatt looking at everyone's stunned faces. "I think you need to leave now"

"I beg your pardon"

"I think you need to consider that if something happens to Sam, I'm not helping you at all"

"Wyatt!" said Leo.

"No, dad. This stops now. How dare you play with our family's lives and souls for that matter like that? We don't even get to rest after dead? No, that's unthinkable. Leave or I'll make you leave"

"Good luck to you all" The Elder said before orbing away. Nobody said another word. Wyatt took Sam upstairs.

Sam's eyes healed in a few days to everybody's peace of mind. Wyatt kept a close look on her so did everybody else. She kept her distance after what they had been told about the baby she was supposedly carrying.

"I've got an idea" said Wyatt one morning. "Why don't we spend the night at the apartment?"

"It's been a while" said Sam hugging him closer under the covers. "Sounds good"

"I just have to take Chris to get a haircut. I promised"

"It'll be good for you to get out of the house" she said kissing his chest.

"I guess" said Wyatt turning on top of her. "I just think of things I could have more fun doing" he smiled and kissed her. She chuckled as he did.

"You are trouble mister…but you really should get out of the house once in a while" he sighed and smiled at her kissing the tip of her nose.

While Chris was getting his hair cut, Wyatt was turning and blowing air a little too hard on the empty chair next to him.

"Would you knock it off already! Making me feel I'm getting my head chopped off any second"

"Sorry, man, just…thinking" he answered rubbing his face then starting to click on his knuckles making the hairdresser shiver and walk away apologizing.

"I'm getting half a haircut here. What's wrong?"

"Nothing, I'm OK"

"You're clearly not" said Chris grabbing his wet hair. "Come on, you know you can tell me" Wyatt pulled a necklace off, it had been hidden by the neck of his polo shirt. "I didn't know you wore necklaces" Chris tried to make fun of him taking the silver chain surprised at what it had hanging.

"I don't"

"How long have you had this?" asked Chris looking at the engagement ring Wyatt had been carrying for God only knows how long around his neck.

"About a month…"

"Oh, not long. Why haven't you…" interrupted Chris.

"Since we slept together for the first time" finished Wyatt interrupting Chris.

"You're joking?!" said Chris. The hairdresser came back. "You know what…that lady over there seems in a hurry, I don't mind waiting" she left with a smile. "Why haven't you asked her?" he said going back to his brother.

"At first, I was afraid she might say no. Then, so much happened…."

"And now?"

"I'm back to being afraid"

"Why Wyatt? You love each other"

"Yeah, and again, she's in danger because I kissed her"

"What?"

"Long story"

"I don't know what you mean, but I do know there's no way she'll say no"

"After everything we've gone through…I just don't know…"

"What about it…? She still chose to stick around. I don't think you're giving her enough credit" they kept silence. "What are you still doing here? I can find my way home. It's not like I have to catch the bus. Go, ask her!"

"I'll ask her tonight. We're spending the night at the apartment" Wyatt smiled. So did Chris.
