Chapter one: Who's Your Whitelighter
Piper is sitting with baby Chris at the table, feeding him a cookie. Wyatt is sitting on the other side drawing with Crayons. Billie enters from the back door. "Hey guys, did I miss dinner?" Billie was scanning the counter for any left overs.
Piper looks at her, still trying to get Chris to eat his. "Yeah, we were just finishing up."
"Did you at least save me a bite?" Billie asked Chris as she walked up to the table.
Chris reaches up and hands Billie a half eaten soggie cookie.
"On second thought maybe I'll skip dinner." Billie said as she laughed at the toddler.
"There's some leftovers on the counter, save Leo some though, he's suppose to be home for dinner." Piper said, as she was trying to hide a grin.
"No problem. How's he adjusting at Magic School?"
"He has no complaints, I think he's just a little aggravated, not having any powers." Piper knew her husband was struggling with being mortal. She couldn't help but feel a little guilty. Leo always made it clear though, that this is where he wanted to be.
"I can imagine. At least he's trying." With that remark Billie opened the fridge door."
Piper looks at Billie a little confused, "Why are you all dressed up?"
Billie's cheeks flush just a little, "Um, no real reason. Just this guy from campus asked me to go to a movie and I... said yes."
"Really, what guy is this?" Piper asked, she was now a little concerned, Billie may not have been a blood sister to her, but Piper thought of her as one just the same. She was a little over protective of her, she had come to love her as a sister and a friend.
At that moment they heard a crash from the living room.
"Wyatt, orb Chris up stairs. Now." Piper screamed. Wyatt did as he was told. Piper and Billie ran from the kitchen to see what was going on. As they rounded the corner, Piper's jaw dropped in shock, she couldn't believe who she was seeing standing there before them. "Oh my God, Prue?"
Prue turned to look at her little sister, she had missed her so much. Her eyes got a little teary, but she managed to send a heart-warming smile. "The orbing part is cool, it's the landing that's a bitch."
Piper ran to her sister and grabbed her in a strong embrace. She had missed her so much for so long, she had dreamed of one day getting to see her sister again. She had rehearsed so many times in her thoughts what she would say to Prue, but right now at this moment, she could only utter a confused and barely understandable "How?"
Prue smiled at her sister and lead her to the couch. "First just breathe. This was my destiny, The Elders saw how protective I was of my sisters when I was alive. They have been waiting for the right moment to release me into my new powers. This is my reward for living by the wiccan rules. They know they put us through hell, this is there way of saying I'm sorry."
Piper looked at Prue, tears still falling from her eyes, "Do Pheobe and Paige know?"
"Not yet. But they will." Prue put an arm around her little sister. It felt great to be there again.
Billie stood in the doorway. She watched the two sisters as they sat there so thrilled to be together again. She was so happy for Piper, but at the same time, she felt a tug in her heart. It had been 4 months since she had to vanquish her sister, she still missed her. She would always love her sister, even if she had been evil.
"Well, " Billie said as she stepped forward. " I think I'll go get Paige and Phoebe, they should be here."
"No need to leave," Prue smiled at Billie. "I got it under control." Prue stood up, closed her eyes and bowed her head. Tiny blue and white orbs appeared in front of her. Within a matter of seconds, there stood Paige and Pheobe, with their backs turned to their older sister.
"A little confused here." Pheobe looked at Billie. "You don't have the power to orb."
"What's going on here?" Paige was now looking concerned.
"Hey, don't look at me." Billie kind of smiled, she was happy for the sisters. "Try looking behind you."
Pheobe and Paige both turned to see Prue standing right there beside Piper.
"Just relax." Prue looked at her sisters, she had gotten to watch over them a little while learning to be a whitelighter, but she had never imagined she would feel like this in front of them. She tried to talk as calmly as she could, she was doing her best to keep them from hearing the tears in her voice. "I was just explaining to Piper, I'm your new whitelighter. The elders sent me down as their way of appologizing. I have been allowed to watch over you guys, I've seen just about everything you've ever done. I've cried with you each every time you cried, I've laughed right along side you. Even you." Prue was now pointing at Billie.
"Me?" Billie was a little confused. She had heard stories of Prue, she had seen pictures of her, but she never imagined she be meeting her, at least not while she was alive. She had heard of how Prue lived, of how courageous she was, as she stood there before her now, she couldn't help but look up to her.
Prue walked over to Billie, behind her stood three very teary eyed, very overwhelmed sisters. "You have stepped in and made a place for yourself in this family. You have protected my sisters in times when I could only watch and pray for the best. You are a very talented witch, and I have been told that you do have a very promising destiny of your own."
Prue turned to her sisters, they all five stood facing one another until finally Pheobe couldn't stand it. "Group hug."
All five women stood huddled in a hug. Four very powerful witches, and one very wise whitelighter. This would make the strongest witches that the Warren line had ever produce, and the biggest threat the under world had ever seen.
"I vote for a big family dinner, here tonight. No demons, no distractions, just all of us." Piper made this more of an order than a request, but no one really seemed to mind.
"That sounds like a great idea. I'll call Coop." As Pheobe closed her eyes and a tiny pink heart appeared on her chest. Within a few moments her cupid stood in front of them.
"Hey honey." Coop leaned down and kissed his wife. "You OK?" He wiped a tear from her cheek.
"I'm better than you know." Pheobe turned her husband so he could see her sister standing behind him. He smiled, he knew who she was. Coop walked over to his sister-in-law. He had heard all the stories from Pheobe, and he had always known deep inside that he would one day meet her, he just didn't expect it to be so soon. Coop felt more than anyone else did. Being a Cupid made him that way. Love felt more joyful to him, and right now, this was the most joy he had ever felt. Every heart in that room was overcome with love and hope.
Paige orbed to Henry. She was very careful to make sure that no one saw. Within minutes she and Henry were back at the manor.
Piper went to magic school and got Leo. She fixed a huge dinner and as she sat there staring around the table, she couldn't believe how things had turned out. She sat there with her complete family. There was Leo and her two boys, Pheobe and Coop, Paige and Henry, and her big sister. Everything seemed so perfect and for one night it really and truly was.
Boy was that about to change. Piper didn't see the shadow that was lingering by the doorway. She didn't hear the voices that were spoken so low the two who were talking could barely hear each other.
"I told you, the rumors were true. The eldest Halliwell has returned." Trakon was watching Prue carefully. He had heard of the mighty witch and was ever so grateful to shaks for killing her. Now that she had returned, he knew the underworld would come to fear her and her sisters as a great threat.
"Keep your voice down Trakon." We can't risk the witches hearing us." Zalon was slightly annoyed by his brother demon. He feared the witches as well, but he would not admit this to anyone.
"We must report this." Trakon was now visibly ready to go. Zalon nodded his head in compliance with Trakon. They both shimmered out of the manor and into the underworld.
