Epilogue.
Phoebe's dream of a child of her own happened nearly a year later when she gave birth to her first child, a couple months after Piper gave birth to her second, Melinda, named for their ancestor and a few months before Prue gave birth to her first.
Prue turning up pregnant had come as a total surprise to everyone, despite the hint in Phoebe's vision quest. Three sisters pregnancies overlapping each other, Phoebe had once observed that even though as children they'd shared everything from toys to chicken pox, she hadn't expected that they'd also share being pregnant at the same time.
On the day of her birth Phoebe held her daughter and announced her name to her family. "Payton Halliwell, my beautiful daughter."
It wasn't like anyone disagreed with that sentiment.
"You're surrounded by girl cousins, Cole." Xander commented. "But we expected that, Warren witches are all girls and always have been."
"It's okay." Cole, approaching a worldly four years old decided. "I can make guy friends when I start school."
"That's right, you can." Coop agreed, over the last year he'd been a frequent visitor. His defense of Phoebe, which had made her laugh when she'd heard it, had been the start of them spending time together, just friends, but her family noticed that more and more, Phoebe glowed when Coop was around and looked forward to his visits. The guys were wondering if a conversation with Coop might be necessary, could Coop be interested in Phoebe and she in him?
But that was a subject for another day, today was about welcoming Peyton home.
"I wonder what her power will turn out to be." Prue mused. "Melinda, like Patricia, seems to lean heavily toward her whitelighter side, both having shown healing before they were even born and managed to orb her teddy to herself just last week. Which is sooner than Patricia started orbing by several months."
"Peyton's half mortal since I used a sperm bank to have her and anyway, I'm in no hurry to find out." Phoebe answered. "We'll know what her power is soon enough, I just want to enjoy being her mom for now."
Charlotte's own power had gone active and the terrible twos had taken on a new meaning and led to her parents deciding to bind her powers until she was older when they discovered she could generate amplified sound waves, a rare power that could at one end, burst ear drums and at the other end could kill. As a child it was decided it was too dangerous a power for her to have since just raising her voice in anger could be enough to activate it and they'd let her decide if she wanted it unbound when she was an adult and could control it and her emotions.
In time more children would be welcomed to the family, each of the Charmed Ones becoming the mother of three daughters and in time the techno vamps numbers would grow as well, with more children born to them and others that joined their ranks.
Which would lead to more demons learning of their existence as had been foreseen and some getting the bright idea to go after them. Really bad idea to go after a people capable of controlling most demons and weren't afraid to use, very effectively use, both human weapons and Magic to fight. And as had also been foreseen, it was devasting for demonkind.
Magic School grew as well with both witches and techno vamps attending and people like Xander and Cordelia who were both, guiding future generations.
Xander and Cordelia were forced to bury all of the remaining Scoobies and Charmed Ones eventually through. Neither Buffy nor Faith were willing to risk the Magic that made them Slayers forcing them to be immortal Slayers, forever drawn to fighting demon vampires and Amy had no interest in immortality. Xander had to settle with knowing his childhood friend and the sister of his heart, Willow, was part of his techno vamp family. She lived happy with Oz and they occasionally visited.
Cole, the very first born techno vamp, would understand for himself why despite the advantages of being a techno vamp it was considered a curse when he too saw friends and family grow old and die and he went on. But eventually he found his own life mate and understood why his people cherished their life mates and could happily and peacefully spend centuries with them.
The story of techno vamps would be woven into the history of the world as they lived quietly, watching the centuries pass and helping guide the world into new eras explorations.

A/N I'm ending the story here, the only two major events in canon left are the Avatars and Leo isn't in the emotional quagmire that let them manipulate him into joining them and getting the sisters to join up.
And in order to bring Billie and Christie into the story I'd have to bring back the Triad and I'm not doing that, so this is the end of this story. I hope you enjoyed it.
