Well, here it is, the Epilogue. I wasn't going to finish, but I thought 'What harm can it do?' and here I am! Up for an award thanks to ABC Fic Awards. (See my profile for link) I'm also judging, so I'll be busy. But here it is. Enjoy!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The day dawned clear and cool, which was good because the wedding would be outside. It was at a little picnic area in Golden Gate Park. The chairs were filled, the Preacher was there. The only things missing was the bride, groom and family.

"Piper! Where are my shoes!" Phoebe called from her room.

"Bottom of the closet, right hand side!" Zankou replied from Piper and Leo's room.

"Thanks, babe!" Phoebe called, Zankou grinned to himself.

"No problem." he called back, Leo jerked on the tie he was hurriedly tying.

"Hold still, damnit. This is hard enough without you twitching." Leo growled. Zankou raised an eyebrow, but said nothing. The whole family had slept late and now they were all late.

"Wyatt Matthew Halliwell, if you don't stop wiggling I'll make you wear your pink bunny pajamas." Piper snapped. The little blonde boy suddenly held stock still. Paige was dressing Chris and Phoebe was just finishing her make-up. Kyle was all dressed and helping Paige.

"All right! Bride and Bridesmaids first. Leo, Kyle, keep Zankou away from the door as we pass, then go five minutes after we do!" Piper called, voice ringing. Victor was already at the wedding area and was waiting for them. Just as Phoebe, Piper and Paige got out the door, the phone rang. Leo lunged for it and answered the cordless.

"Halliwell residence." Leo answered, finishing tying his own tie.

"Leo, where are you guys? A demon didn't appear did it? Aside from Zankou of course." Victor amended. Leo closed his eyes and breathed a silent prayer that one wouldn't.

"No, Victor, we all slept late, the girls just left with the boys and we're headed that way now. We'll see you there." Leo said, hanging up the phone before Victor could say okay.

-----------------The Wedding Area----------------

"Okay. See you here." Victor said, walking over by the preacher and, for once, giving him the truth.

"I understand." he said with a smile. Victor shook his head, you had to be a special kinda of guy to be so patient.

"There's the girls." Victor breathed a sigh of relief as they came up the walk. Piper and Paige were carrying Wyatt, Chris and bags. Victor took the bags and set them aside and took Chris from Paige and Piper set Wyatt down.

"You all look beautiful. Where are the guys?" Victor asked, looking around in time to see Leo coming up the path from the opposite direction. He waved behind him, probably a signal to Zankou and Kyle to wait a minute.

"You look great, Phebes. Do you want to wait over there or what?" Leo asked gently. Phoebe nodded and they vanished behind a grove of trees.

"Okay, guys!" Leo called back along the path. Zankou came out with Kyle urging him on. The usually cool demon was pale and sweating slightly. Victor smiled at him.

"Nervous?" he asked. Zankou nodded wordlessly. Victor put an arm around him and squeezed. "You'll be okay, just remember two words. 'I' and 'Do'. You'll do fine otherwise." Victor said. Zankou breathed deeply and nodded again.

"Let's hope so." Zankou said. Leo, who was best man, darted back behind the bushes, said something and then darted back behind Zankou. Wyatt walked up the path, holding a pillow with both hands, while Chris toddled after him, holding onto Wyatt's vest bottom. Wyatt took his place next to Leo, who took Chris over to Victor, who took him onto his lap. Piper and Paige came next, looking beautiful in sea green dresses with spaghetti straps.

"The music, please." the Preacher said. 'Here Comes The Bride' started playing and Phoebe walked around the corner. Zankou's eyes widened as she walked stopped at the end of aisle. Victor set Chris down, told him to stay put and trotted around the end of the crowd.

"Here, let me." Victor said, holding out his arm. He walked her down the aisle, towards a grinning like a maniac Zankou. He let go of her arm, kissed her on the cheek and pulled Chris into his lap again.

"This is not your average wedding. Two people from two very different worlds have come here together to become man and wife. They love each other and I'm sure will build a wonderful life together. There have never been two people more right for the other. Phoebe Halliwell, do you take Zan Koutaka as your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold, now and forever?" Brendan Rowe asked. Phoebe smiled at Zankou.

"I do." she replied. Brendan repeated the vow to Zankou, who answered quietly, with a smile on his face.

"I do." he said. Brendan nodded and spoke to the gathering.

"Then it is done. By the power invested in me by the State of California and the Powers That Be," he said with a wink at Phoebe, who grinned in return. "I now pronounce you, Husband and Wife." he said. Zankou swept Phoebe up in a kiss that lasted for minutes. The cheers echoed and the birds took off at the sudden noise.

----------------The Reception---------------

Phoebe and Zankou walked out onto the dance of the P3 as the DJ began playing 'God Bless the Broken Road' by Rascall Flatts. Phoebe moved into Zankou's arms as they began to dance.

I set out on a narrow way many years ago

Hoping I would find true love along the broken road

But I got lost a time or two

Wiped my brow and kept pushing through

I couldn't see how every sign pointed straight to you

"What was with the winking thing?" Zankou asked, holding Phoebe closed. She smiled up at him.

"He's an old friend. He's a warlock who refuses to use his powers. We saved him from his brothers and he became a priest. Much to Prue's disappointment." Phoebe added. Zankou nodded.

Every long lost dream led me to where you are

Others who broke my heart, they were like northern stars

Pointing me on my way into your loving arms

This much I know is true

That God blessed the broken road

That led me straight to you

Zankou breathed in the scent of her hair, strawberries and cream, closed his eyes and sighed. She was everything he wanted and more. Her spitfire had attracted his attention and her sweet side kept him there. He loved her and would only leave her if that was what she wanted. But he knew that she would never want that. He could easily see their children. Dark haired and fair skinned, they would break hearts, but Phoebe had stolen his.

I think about the years I spent just passing through

I'd like to have the time I lost and give it back to you

But you just smile and take my hand

You've been there, you understand

It's all part of a grander plan that is coming true

Phoebe could hear his heart beating through the cloth of his clothes, his heat was comforting and there was no place she'd rather be. He smelled like sweat, warm leather and something else that she couldn't quite place her finger on. Sulfur from his fireballs. That was it. Sweat, warm leather and sulfur. To many people that would be repulsive, but to Phoebe, that was heaven.

Every long lost dream led me to where you are

Others who broke my heart, they were like northern stars

Pointing me on my way into your loving arms

This much I know is true

That God blessed the broken road

That led me straight to you

Yeah

Piper watched with a smile. Her little sister had finally found happiness and she knew that this relationship would turn out far from what had happend with Phoebe and Cole. Zankou would treat her well and never leave her side. That was as certain as her love for Leo and her boys and her family.

Now I'm just rolling home into my lover's arms

This much I know is true

That God blessed the broken road that led me straight to you

Phoebe laid her head on Zankou's shoulder as the song came to a close. She could never get him close enough.

Zankou tightened his arms around Phoebe, pulling her closer. He could never get her close enough.

That God blessed the broken road that led me straight to you

Applause broke out among the wedding party and the P3 staff as the song ended. Phoebe and Zankou seperated and left the dance floor as the other couples walked onto the dance floor.

"I think we'll head home, get our stuff before going to Paris." Phoebe said. Piper laughed.

"What about that cake that I spent so long baking?" Piper asked. Zankou smiled roguishly at her.

"I guess we'll just have to soundproof the bedroom." Zankou said. Piper grinned fiendishly.

"I guess you'll get to cracking on that tomorrow. You two can stay the night. We'll let the boys spend the night with Grandpa. Leo and I need some alone time together as well." Piper said. Paige was dancing close with Kyle. "The neighbors are going to think there's murdering going on tonight." Piper said. Zankou grinned, kissing Phoebe's neck.

"Or an orgy." he whispered in Phoebe's ear, making her blush.
