3 Years Later…

"28 year old Piper Halliwell was on the red carpet at the Golden Globes last night. Since her debut 3 years ago, she's lit up the catwalk, the small screen and the big screen starring alongside big names such as Brad Pitt, George Clooney and was stunningly emotional in "Marky". Piper Halliwell—"

Piper cut off Dana Devon's spiel on ET with a click of the remote control. She was sprawled across the white couch, one forearm over her head, the other arm, unmoving as it held the remote. She closed her eyes momentarily.

"What's the matter, babe, migraine?"

Piper looked up to see Kevin standing above her, holding Baby Sam in his arms. Sam hand a huge smile on her face and she waved a sippy cup around.

"Yeah." She murmured quickly, before turning her attention to Sam. "Hey, Sammy!" she exclaimed, reaching up to take the one year old from her father. She sat up with the baby in her lap. "Sammy!! Did you and Daddy have a good time at the park? Huh, Peanut?"

Sam gurgled and both adults laughed. Kevin leaned down and kissed Piper on the forehead. "You hungry? You know I make killer chili." He said, plopping down on the couch adjacent to the one she was sitting on. He picked up the remote, which she had discarded on the glass coffee table. He flicked on the TV.

"Piper's also got a new movie coming out, "Forgotten", about a woman who lost her memory in a car crash. We'd say Piper is unstoppable in her career. She seems to have everything going for her with her husband, Kevin Macaulay, and children Chris, Wyatt and Samantha. Well be back."

Piper rolled her eyes. "You know, I love it that people care, I really do…But damn it, could they stop talking about me for one millisecond!?"

Kevin smiled sympathetically and patted his wife's knee. He knew what had brought on the stress. Leo Wyatt would be at the opening for "Forgotten". He'd provided all the artwork for the film.

Piper's hair was pulled up elegantly, twisted atop her head. Her stomach shook despite the way it was knotted up. Her body actually trembled with memories and feeling. Kevin squeezed her hand tightly and a little bit of the shaking subsided. She smiled forcefully for the cameras and anchorpeople. She waved and offered a "Hi" every now and then, just like she should've.

-----

Piper thought that the opening for "Forgotten" would have taken everything she had but for once she had energy to go to an after party at a lavish old mansion. Kevin had forgone the party, telling her he'd take the kids home. It was funny, she had been so apprehensive about running into him and he hadn't even shown.

Piper watched as Candace's niece, Chelsea stepped onto the stage. Piper smiled and waved, feeling like the proud aunt, which she was kind of, subbing for Candace since wasn't invited.

Piper had a glass of champagne in one hand and stepped out onto the balcony. She peered out over the LA sky, for once the pollution clearing and giving her a magnificent view of the city below, lights twinkling below, noises music to her ears.

"Piper?"

The voice sent a chill down her spine. No…She revolved slowly in her place to see Leo Wyatt in the doorway to the veranda. He looked good, maybe even better than the last time she'd seen him. He had on a jaunty suit, though black, with a red tie. He held a glass of bubbly as well. His blonde hair was slightly tousled, as though he couldn't get it to quite where he wanted it, but was still rocking the style like he owned it.

"Leo." She said softly, setting her glass aside, balancing it precariously on the narrow stone railing.

He took a step towards her, so as not to frighten her away. He set his glass aside as well. "I hear you've gotten married." He said, years worth of pain in his voice.

"Yeah." She lifted her left hand to flash him with a brief view of the rings. "To—"

"Kevin." Leo said quickly. "I know his name, world-class photographer. You two seem to be Hollywood's 'It' couple of the moment."

Piper waved her hand vaguely. "It'll pass. I'll pass. 15 minutes, you know?"

He nodded slowly. "Can I ask you a question?" he said suddenly.

Piper felt a heart in her throat, but quickly put it in its place. "Yes." She croaked.

Leo looked down at his feet before looking up into her eyes, tawny in the moonlight. He held her gaze like it was the last thing he'd ever do. "Did you every stop loving me?"

Piper shook her head and they rushed to each other, meeting in the middle. She kissed him, passionately, inhibitions floating away on the breeze but glowing in the moonlight. Just as a slow song began to come from Chelsea's lips, he pulled her to him, as though her was going to dance with her.

Piper recognized the tune on the first beat.

"First time my lips met yours it was meant to be. My heart spelled out the fact that I was made for you…And you were made for me…" The song had already hit a crescendo, , right there, all in that last word.

Piper felt a surge of emotions hitting her, one after the other, to fast and complicated to make any sense of. They twirled more, moving to the very slow beat.

"But the world keeps on changing, nothing stays the same, we were both too dumb then, we'd rolled the dice but we couldn't even play the game." I don't know if you can hear this message, that I'm sending out to you, baby, I'll love you always no matter what you do…"

"Did you ever get the feeling," Leo said, tightening the hand gripping her waist. "that fate just screws with you? You know, pick out of a random crowd and says, 'Let's fuck with this guy for a while'."

Piper smiled as a tear dripped onto the shoulder of his tux. "Sometimes."

"Nobody ever said love was easy, even if you say 'I love you'. Nobody ever said love was easy even if it was true. So many nights I've wasted…By the phone, at your door, I wish you'd just realize that the love is still there even if we can't claim it anymore…" Chelsea emphasized that word, reaching the climax of her song.

"Do you believe in fate?" Leo asked. Piper nodded. "We may not be together in this lifetime, but in the next. We'll be together again."

"Oh don't say it like that." Piper breathed anxiously. "Don't say it like this is our last time seeing each other—"

But she stopped. They both knew it would be. This was their goodbye. "You'd never leave you husband." Leo said, his voice dripping with sadness, tears slipping down his cheeks. "You've moved on, found a new love. It's good."

"As painful as it is to admit," Chelsea crooned. "I'd never be with you again. Because I wasted so many nights by the phone, at your door." The music behind her ceased except soft piano. "The love is still there even if we can't claim it anymore…"

The room they'd stopped listening to erupted in applause. This seemed to pull them both out of their reveries. They pulled away.

"I love you." They said a once. They kissed, softly, gently, a kiss goodbye. With one deep, wise sigh Leo watched her walk away, hips swaying slightly as she rejoined the party.

Damn, she was some kind of woman.
