It was an Irish looking pub and Keith Urban’s song Somebody Like You was playing from a jukebox. In the back of the pub was a small dance floor. Paige and Sean were slow dancing.

“Sometimes it’s hard for me to understand. But you’re teaching me to be a better man. I don’t want to take this life, for granted like I used to do. No, No, I wanna love somebody, Love Somebody Like You ” Sean sang along with the music.

Sean was twirling Paige around and she was laughing. Piper, Leo, Phoebe, and Jason were watching from a table close by.

When the song ended, Sean started to push Paige back to the table to join the others. Paige leaned in into Sean. “You really should keep your day job” Paige said teasingly. Paige loved the way Sean sang.

“Huh... My mother loved my singing” Sean said offended. Sean was wearing a frown but the corner of his lips where twitching.

“She had too, you were her baby” said Paige sarcastically. Sean grabs her around her waist to pull her back to him. So he could whisper in her ear. “You didn’t seem to mind last night” retorted Sean smiling. Paige smiled back. “Yeah but I was having trouble thinking last night”

“Sean’s smile grew bigger as he moved her towards the table. “That good, uh” Sean said as he steps around her to pull out her chair. Paige didn’t say anything. She just smacks him on the arm. “Such violence from m’lady” Sean said teasingly. Paige loves this back and forth volley they do. Paige just smiled and taken the seat that Sean was offering and Sean took the seat next to her.

Jason was talking about his work in Hong Kong. Paige wasn’t really listening. Paige was gazing at Sean and was thinking how glad she was that she gave Sean a second chance. In the last three weeks their relationship has grown into something only found in fairy tales. Which she knew was real because she learned a year ago that fairy tales were real. At this moment, she hoped they could lived happily ever after.

Sean caught Paige’s gaze. He leans in so he can whisper into her ear, so the others couldn’t hear. “How does white sands, crystal blue waters, and warm ocean breezes sound?” Paige blinked to break the gaze. “What?”

“I thought it sounded perfect for our honeymoon.” said Sean smiling. Paige looked at him trying to figure out what she just heard him say.

Sean again whispered in her ear. “You know we may never leave the hotel.” Paige just smiled.

Piper noticed that Paige and Sean was in his or her own little world. Piper elbowed Leo and nods towards Paige and Sean and smiled.

“Paige. Paige. Paige. Wake up, Paige” came a voice from the distance pulling her from where she was.

Paige blinked her eyes. She sits up with a start. She was sitting in her office and Carly, her assistant, was standing on the other side of her desk.

“Are you ok” asked Carly?

“I’m fine” replied Paige as she placed her face in her hands. She was trying to bring herself back to reality. The dream she was just having seemed so real.

Carly was staring out Paige. “No you’re not. You’ve been sick all week and you’re exhausted” Carly said with concern. “Go home.” Paige just shook her head no.

“I have too much to do” said Paige finally.

“Well you’re not getting anything done sleeping at your desk” replied Carly.

“This is so funny. I’m hardly ever sick and never this long” muttered Paige.

“To bad Dr. O'Hara out of town, he can’t take care of you” Carly said smiling. Paige smiled “Yeah.”

“So are you going home” inquired Carly?

Paige just nods. Carly was right she was exhausted and She didn’t know why she could not get over this. She may have Leo try to heal her when she gets home.

“Maybe you’re not sick, maybe you’re pregnant” Carly said jokingly as she walks out the door.

Paige just looked at the closed door. Her assistant changes her train of thought and right into another. I know I’ve been tired and sick to my stomach but it’s the flu. I can’t be... I mean we we’re careful. We took all the precautions to be very safe. We didn’t once... I mean it’s not possible.

On the other hand, there was another voice in her head saying the opposite. ‘You know anything is possible. Why not no matter how careful you are, accident can happen. You know that you could very well be.

Paige got up from her desk and gathered up her file she was working on. She put them in her briefcase. She opens her door.

“I see you have taken my advice” said Carly.

“Umm... Yeah I think I’m going to go home” answered Paige.

“If you don’t feel better tomorrow stay home” Carly said as Paige was leaving the office. Paige waves to acknowledge she heard her.

By the time Paige got to her car, her hands were shaking. She had to make a stop before going home.

A HALF-HOUR LATER, she was standing at the door of the Manor. She was thinking maybe she’s just orb to her room. Paige had noticed that Piper’s Jeep was in the drive. She just didn’t know if she was ready to face anyone yet. Paige took a hold of the doorknob and opened it slowly. She heard Piper and Leo laughing in the other room. “Maybe they are to involved with themselves to see her come in” Paige muttered to herself.

She quietly closed the door behind her. Paige walked across the foyer and was about to the stairs, when Piper noticed her

“Paige. You’re home early” said Piper. Paige turned and walks into the doorway of the living room. Piper and Leo were sitting on the sofa together.

“Hi guys” said Paige. “So you got off early” asked Piper. Piper got a good look at Paige.

“Are you feeling ok” Piper asked with concern?

“I’m just tired. I fell asleep at my desk and my assistant suggested I go home. I took her advice and came home” explained Paige.

Piper narrowed her eyes trying to read her expression. Paige turns her head, so Piper could not get a good look in her eyes.

“Look I’m going to take a nap before I do some work on the files a brought home” said Paige.

“You brought your work home” questioned Leo?

“Yes. I have a lot to do, whether I’m tired or not” Paige said a little put off. “You two enjoy yourselves.”

Paige turned and headed up stairs before her sister and her brother-in-law could say anything else.

“She looks really tired. I don’t know why she has trouble taking care of herself” said Piper still looking at the stairs.

“Paige’s a Halliwell” Leo said smiling.

Piper turned around and glared at Leo. “What’s that supposed to mean?”

“It’s simply you and your sisters have a tendency not to take care of yourselves” Leo said laughing slightly.

“Oh do we, now. I thought it was your job to take care of me” Piper said as started to poke her finger in his ribs and Leo started to squirm. Leo grabs her and pulled her into a hug and then passionately kissed her. He broke the kiss slightly. “ I’m glad it’s my job to take care of you and your sisters. Do you want me to talk to Paige?”

“No. I’ll talk to her later. much...much...later” then Piper kissed Leo.

Paige was sitting on the floor of the bathroom. She was staring at a timer counting down. There was so many thoughts going through her mind. She was being overtaken by so many emotions. What will she do, if it’s positive? If it were negative would she tell Sean about the scare. “Maybe I should end the relationship so—” She didn’t finish the thought because at that moment the timer chose to go off.

Paige slowly stood up and walked over to the sink, where the test was now sitting. She picks it up and she closed her eyes. Paige slowly opens her eyes and looks at the test.

Paige stands there staring at the results. All the emotions she had before, was nothing compared to what she was having now. “I’m pregnant” mouthed Paige. She was unable to make words audible.

Paige’s heart jerks when her thoughts changes to Sean. She hadn’t seen Sean for two weeks since the Ancients sent him on some kind of an assignment. She has no idea when he would be back or where he even was.

Paige closed her eyes when she heard laughter from downstairs. “How am I going to tell my sister? Do I tell them first? I will have too. I don’t know when Sean will be back. I’ll just have to wait for the right time” Paige muttered under her breath. Paige orb out of the bathroom to get rid of the test so her sisters don’t find out.

1½ Weeks Later-

Piper was packing a picnic basket in the kitchen. Leo was putting Wyatt in the car seat.

“Where’s Phoebe and Paige” asked Leo?

“Here I am” said Phoebe. She was carrying a beach bag. “I don’t think Paige is going thou.”

“Why” asked Paige and Leo together?

“I heard her in the bathroom this morning getting sick again” told Phoebe.

“What do you mean, again” asked Piper?

“She’s been sick all week” Phoebe said with concern.

“Why didn’t you say anything” Piper asked Phoebe?

“She told me it was just stress and asked me not to tell you” replied Phoebe.

“I told you she’s not taking care of herself. She going to the park with us, whether she likes it or not.” Piper told Leo and Phoebe.

Paige walks into the kitchen “Hi.” Everyone turns to look at her. Piper noticed how pale she looked.

“Missy Paige are you feeling ok” Piper asked lovingly.

“I’m just a little tired” answered Paige.

Phoebe narrowed her eyes and glared at her “Really.”

“Yes really” Paige responded.

“So that’s what it’s called. What you’ve been doing all week” Paige looks angrily at Phoebe. Being sick in the bathroom” Phoebe said sarcastically.

“I TOLD YOU IT WAS STRESS” snapped Paige. Paige turns around and walks out. Piper and Phoebe looked at each other and then followed suit.

“Paige” said Piper

“Honey wait” Phoebe said.

Paige stopped at the bottom of the stairs and looked at her sisters.

“Paige, we’re worried about you” said Piper.

“I’m fine really” lied Paige.

“You’re not fine and as your sisters, we love you” Phoebe said tenderly.

“So tell us what‘s wrong” insisted Piper.

Paige stood there staring at them. She was having a tug-of-war in her head. She wanted to tell them everything but she needed to talk to Sean first. Paige was scared that they might not understand.

“I have nothing to tell you” Paige simply said.

“You’re going with us to the park” ordered Piper.

Paige was walking up the stairs. “I don’t feel like it. I’m sorry” Paige said as she disappeared up the stairs.

Piper, Phoebe, Leo and Wyatt left for the park. Piper, Phoebe, and Leo tried to convince Paige to go with them for over an hour. When they could not persuade Paige to change her mind. They left without her.

After they left, Paige lied down on the sofa and covered up with a blanket. Paige flips the TV on and in a few minutes she drifted off to sleep. Unbeknown to Paige, someone was watching her sleep.

Sean walks over and brushes a strand of Paige’s hair behind her ear. Sean gently cups Paige’s cheek and Paige leans her face into Sean’s hand automatically in her sleep. Sean smiles and gently kisses her on her forehead. “My sweet beautiful angel. I’ve missed you” whispered Sean. Paige mumbled something in her sleep. Sean grinned “I love you, too.”

Sean takes the remote form under Paige’s hand and went around the coffee table and takes the chair across from her. He starts to flip through the channels “five- hundred channels and there is nothing ever on.” Sean settled on a Chicago Cubs and San Francisco Giant baseball game.

Leo was pushing Wyatt in a swing. Piper and Phoebe were sitting on a blanket and watching Leo and Wyatt.

“You’re really happy again, aren’t you” asked Phoebe now watching Piper? “Yeah. I wished I could thank the person who helped Leo come back to me” said Piper.

“So Leo still has no idea, huh” inquired Phoebe.

“No, He doesn’t. You know speaking of men. Did Paige say where Sean is and when he’ll be back” Piper said changing the subject.

“I didn’t know we where talking about men but now we’re on the subject. No she didn’t. Why? Do you think that could be the problem with her” posed Phoebe?

“I don’t know. Something is wrong. I think we’re going to have to pin her down to find out” Piper said with concern.

Piper looks over to Leo and Wyatt “Are you guys ready to go?”

Sean had been watching the game for around two hours. He was really watching Paige for most of those two hours. Sean noticed how tired she looked. He was wondering why and she started to stir. Paige opens her eyes and sees Sean. Paige blink her eyes “Are you a dream?”

Sean gets up and walks over to her and gently kisses her. “Does that feel like a dream” Sean asked with a smile? “I don’t know. We may have to try that again. Sean smiles and kisses her again. “Is that real enough?”

“Uh huh” replied Paige.

After the happiness of seeing him wore off, a harsh reality set in again. She knew she would have to tell him what she’s kept a secret for the last two weeks.

Sean knew that there was something wrong but he could not sense what it was. “Paige, darling, is everything all right. You look really tired” Sean asked gently.

Paige just looks at him. She had practiced this in her head a thousand times. But now seeing him looking at her with such concerned, a lump rises in her throat. She was scared what he might say or do. Paige just didn’t know how he would react. Tears started to burn the corner of her eyes.

“Honestly No, Everything isn’t ok” answered Paige wryly.

“Then what’s wrong, m’love” asked Sean.

Paige took a deep breath. “I haven’t been feeling very good; sick to my stomach, real tired” explained Paige. Sean just nods to verify he’s listen.

Paige raises her eyebrow hoping Sean was getting what she was saying. She sighes and decides another approach.

“Sean, I’m expecting” said Paige.

“Expecting what” asked Sean?

Paige laughed a little and shook her head, “Men.”

“What” Sean asked as he took her hands and sits down on the coffee table in front of her?

“I’m...” Paige was cut off hearing the front door open.

Piper and Phoebe walks in with Leo right behind them carrying Wyatt. Paige and Sean looks towards the doorway and the noise of her sisters fighting.

“What do you mean you can’t watch Wyatt tonight” asked Piper?

“I’m sorry. But that was Elise on the phone and she needs me to come in” explained Phoebe.

They walked into the living room and see Paige and Sean. They all came to an abrupt stop. “Well, hello stranger” Phoebe said walking forward and giving Sean a little hug. Leo put out his hand and Sean shook it.

“Where have you been” Piper asked Sean? Sean was about to answer her when Paige interrupted.

“What’s wrong” Paige asked Piper?

“Pheebs is bailing out in her babysitting duties” frowned Piper.

“ I told you why I couldn’t take care of him” Phoebe said irritated.

“You know that Leo and I have been going out on Thursday. It is our time” said Piper aggravated.

“We can watch him” piped in Sean to stop the argument. Paige looked at him. She wants to talk to him but she smiles and nods “Yeah we can watch him” agreed Paige.

Sean was lying on the floor playing blocks with Wyatt. Paige was watching them and smiling. He would make an excellent father but is he ready to be a father. It doesn’t matter.

Piper came down the stairs and into the living room. Piper smiles how comfortable Sean is with Wyatt. “Sean, you’re natural” Piper said to Sean. “Thanks but he’s a great kid” countered Sean.

“Are you two sure you want to do this? It’s your first night back Sean” raised Piper?

“A quiet evening alone” responded Paige. “Aye, we’re sure” added Sean.

“You won’t be alone” retorted Piper. “We will be, as soon as, Wyatt goes to sleep” said Sean flashing a grin.

Piper and Leo said their goodbyes and now Paige and Sean was pretty much a lone. Sean picks up Wyatt and sets him in his playpen.

“You were trying to tell me something earlier” Sean reminded Paige.

Paige was about to tell him the secret that she has kept for the last two weeks from everyone. Paige didn’t know how he would react but she had decided to do what her biological parents had done to protect her. They had no idea, what the powers that be would do to them and now a child was involved. There was only one option. Paige swallowed hard and Sean came over and sits next to her. Sean takes her hands gently in his and looks into her eyes.

“Paige what’s wrong, please tell me” Sean said affectionately?

Paige looks away. “I’m pregnant” Paige said barely a whisper.

Sean said nothing. He was flooded with emotion. It started with overwhelming happiness. He was going to be a father. The one thing he thought; he would never be, a father and now there is this woman he loves telling him that she’s pregnant. Then he’s emotion switched to fear about her. “Is everything ok with her” he thought?

Paige finally looks at him after he didn’t say anything. Sean’s wearing a frown on his face. Sean looks back at her and see the fear in her eyes.

“We’re going to be parents”; “we’ll give the baby up for adoption” they said at the same time.

“What” said Paige and Sean in unison?

“You want to put our baby up for adoption” Sean asked in disbelief?

“No I don’t want too but Sean we’re not even supposed to be together nevertheless to have a baby” Paige said miserably.

“Did you think I would just agree to give up our child” asked Sean?

“It’s the only thing to do” justified Paige. She had no expression in her voice.

This caused Sean to fume. “It’s not the only choose, Paige” Sean said in a raised voice.

“It is and I don’t want to discuss it anymore” Paige said walking into the conservatory.

“We will discuss this, Paige whether you want to or not” Sean said as he followed her.

Wyatt watched them walk away. Wyatt put out his hand and orbs appeared in front of him.

As the orbs vanish, standing in front of Wyatt and a bit confused is Patty Halliwell. Patty looks around the room that she’s in. She slowly realizes that she was standing in the Manor’s living room. Patty looks down at Wyatt still in his playpen. “Wyatt, sweetie, did you want to see your grandma” Patty said bending down and picking him up. “Where is everyone?” Just as Patty asked she heard yelling coming from the conservatory.

“Paige you are not your mother and I’m not your father. We don’t have to follow their example” yelled Sean.

“I’m not going to stand by and not protect this baby. It worked to protect me” Paige yelled back.

Patty carried Wyatt towards the loud exchange of words. “So is this why you summon me” Patty asked Wyatt? He just smiled and throws his arms around her neck. Paige and Sean did not notice Patty was there and was watching their heated discussion.

“There are always other chooses. We don’t have to follow the same path, Paige” Sean said persuasively.

Then you tell me how we’re going to protect this child and us” Paige said placing a protective hand on her stomach. “It’s the only way, Sean. I don’t know why you can’t see that.”

“Because I don’t believe it’s our only option and if your mother were here, she wouldn’t agree with this” Sean said exhaustedly.

“I am here” said Patty. The hearing of the voice made Paige and Sean jump and turn around.

“How did you get here” Paige asked surprised

“My grandson must have thought you needed me” explained Patty.

“He thought wrong” Paige said angrily. Paige left the room.

“Paige” Sean starts to go after her.

“I’d wait” Patty said stopping Sean. “What? I have to go after her” justified Sean. “Why don’t I try to talk to her” Patty said handing Wyatt to Sean.

“Wait. How do I know whom side you’ll be on and by the way, just the sight of you caused her to walk away” Sean said annoyed?

“I’m not on anyone’s side yet. Let me talk to her and try to calm her down. I know I can help” Patty said calmly. Sean said nothing; he just nods in silent retreat.

Paige had made her way up to the attic. She grabs the Book of Shadow and set down on the couch. She flips the book open to the page-explaining druids. Paige put her face into her hands and starts to cry. She could not understand why Sean was being so unreasonable. He has to know that it’s just a dream to be able to keep their baby.

Paige did not hear Patty come in. Patty walks up to her. “Paige, baby, can we talk” asked Patty? Paige looked up into her mother’s understanding eyes. Paige gestured to the seat next to her. “You’re not going to change my mind” Paige said despondently.

“I’m not here to make you change your mind. I’m here to listen but let me try to get all the facts straight first. I take it that you’re pregnant.” Paige just nods. So do you love this man? Umm...what’s his name” asked Patty.

“His name is Sean and yes I love him very much” answered Paige. “Then what’s the problem? Its not like you can’t be with him” inquired Patty? Paige just looks away. “Paige he’s not a demon or a warlock” Patty joked?

“No he’s not evil. He’s a good, loving, funny, caring, and supportive man” retorted Paige.

“Well I still don’t understand the problem. Even if he was a whitelighter, I’m sure... Is he a whitelighter” asked Patty when she looked at Paige avoiding eye contact?

Paige’s eyes glares at Patty. She was getting tired of everything. “No he’s not a whitelighter that’s you and Piper’s bag” snapped Paige.

“Paige then tell me who he is” demanded Patty?

Paige said nothing but just slides the Book of Shadows in front of her. Patty looks down and opens her eyes wide in shock. “You’re telling me that he’s a druid” asked Patty?

“Yes” whispered Paige.

“Honey you know...” Patty stop in mid-sentence. “She knows it’s forbidden or she won’t be so upset” Patty thought. “Do your sisters know about Sean” Patty asked instead?

“What do you think” retorted Paige? “I can’t tell them. I can’t put them in the middle, besides Sean and I decided that it would be for the best if they didn’t know” explained Paige.

“And now” asked Patty. “Do you think they will understand why you want to give up the baby, if they don’t have the whole story? Sean knows the whole story and he doesn’t want to give up the baby” Patty stated tenderly.

“Sean will come around and my sisters, well they’ll just have to support my decision” explicated Paige.

“You think they will. I mean support you because they will try to talk you out of it you know” said Patty lovingly. “You will have to tell them everything.

“Do you want me to keep this baby” required Paige?

“I just want you to look at all the options possible. Don’t jump into anything that you will later regret” Patty said with a deep understanding.

“Do you regret giving me up? Even though it protected me” asked Paige?

“Everyday” Patty said unhappily. “But it was the only option at the time.”

“You see and this is the only option. I have to protect my baby. You have to understand this” Paige asked with tears in her eyes? Patty pulled Paige into a motherly hug. “I do understand but I also want you to not close yourself off to other options.”

Sean had rocked Wyatt to sleep. He was getting up to lay him down and the front door open. Phoebe came in and put her purse on the table.

“Hi” whispered Phoebe. “Where’s Paige?”

Sean frowned “Upstairs.” Phoebe could tell that something was wrong.

“What happen” asked Phoebe?

“We had a fight” explained Sean.

“What about” inquired Phoebe?

Sean just looked at her. “I’m going to put Wyatt down. Excuse me” Sean said while going upstairs.

“You know you could tell me things. Leo does” said Phoebe irritated.

Sean stops on the landing and looked at her. “Phoebe, if you can tell, I’m not Leo. He’s a great guy and I see him as a mate but under no circumstance will I discuss a private conversation I had with Paige. Now if she wants to tell you that is her choice.” Sean said coolly because he was still very upset with the fight he had with Paige. He went on upstairs.

“You don’t have to take it out on me if you’re mad” Phoebe yelled at Sean as in ascended the stairs. Phoebe was now mad at Sean. “Just because you’re mad at Paige. He doesn’t have to take it out on other people” Phoebe mumbled as she went up the stairs to find her sister.

Paige was sitting very quietly. While Patty was talking but Paige was only hearing part of what she was saying. She was drowning in everything that was going wrong. If she would just walk away a month ago everything would be all right. “Maybe I should just end it with Sean. What am I thinking? I don’t want to go through this without him. Why did I have to fall in love” she thought?

“Paige did you hear what I said” asked Patty bring Paige out of her train of thought?

“No. I’m sorry. I just have to figure this out” Paige said in a daze.

“Honey, you’re not alone lean on the people around you” suggested Patty motherly.

Phoebe walks into the attic. “You need to—” She fades off when she sees who is in the attic. “Mom.”

“Hello Phoebe” said Patty raising up from her seat. Phoebe walks over and hugs her mother. Phoebe broke the hug. “How, Why are you here” Phoebe asked curiously?

“It seems that my grandson wanted to see me” answered Patty.

“And you’re in corporeal form, too” Phoebe said surprised.

Phoebe looks at Paige. Phoebe could tell that she had been crying. “I saw Sean before he laid Wyatt down. He looks as good as you do. Honey, are you ok” asked Phoebe sympathetically?

“Yea” lied Paige. Patty looks at her youngest daughter. “No. She’s not ok” Paige glared at Patty. “It’s time you start leaning on the people around you” insisted Patty. So Patty and Paige starts tell Phoebe everything.

Sean walks back downstairs and drops down on the couch. He put his face into his hands. The weight of the situation is starting to come more apparent after taking care of Wyatt. He knew if he could not get Paige to reconsider he would lose the woman he loves and the child he always wanted. Sean had no idea that there was a very old mad standing in front of him.

“Life has away of wearing you down but just think of the rewards that you receive” said the old man.

Sean looked up and sees the old man. He quickly rose to his feet and forms an emerald fireball.

“Are you going to harm me with that, Sean” said the old man calmly?

Sean slowly puts out the fireball. “Do I know you” asked Sean wryly?

“Yes, Son, you do but it’s been a very long time since you’ve seen me” replied the old man kindly.

“Who are you” demanded Sean?

“For now let’s just say I’m a friend of the family and of you” answered the old man.

“You’ve got a name” retorted Sean? “Yes. Colm”

“Ok Colm, what are you doing here” Sean asked?

“To bring you a message and to help you when and where I can” respond Colm.

Sean stares at this man. He looked familiar; he thought, but he just didn’t know exactly from where. “Ok do I have to read your mind or are you going to tell me the message” Sean asked annoyed?

Colm laughed “Quite the temper you have, when things are not going your way.”

Sean glared “Just tell me the damn message old man or leave.”

Colm narrowed his eyes with anger. “Young man I know you wasn’t raised to disrespect your elders, so I’ll let that burst of anger pass.”

“I’m sorry. I have a lot to deal with and I’m not much up for riddles or games. If I have offended you I’m sorry” Sean said apologetically.

Colm dismissive waves his hand “No apology needed.” “Let’s get back to why I’m here, your message” Colm said smiling. “For you to not lose faith. Everything will work out the way it is supposed too. enlightened Colm

“Well isn’t that just so helpful and enlightening, have faith” retorted Sean. “What is exactly am I supposed to have faith for that Paige and I will get to keep our child or give it up?”

“What do you want to do” asked Colm sitting down in a chair?

“I want to keep our baby and I want to stay with Paige but I’m beginning to think that Paige maybe is right” Sean said heartbroken.

“If you lose faith everything could be lost. The one thing that is important besides love is hope. If you lose faith, hopes follows and then love. Sean trust me and have patience” said Colm kindheartedly.

“It’s time to leave” said Colm getting up from the chair and walking over to Sean. Colm grabs Sean’s arm.

“Wait! Where are we going” asked Sean? Colm never answered. The room started to swirl around them and they were gone.

Phoebe sits there staring at Paige and Patty. She could not believe what she just heard from her sister and mother.

“Why didn’t you tell me this two weeks ago when you found out? Paige you didn’t have to go through this alone” asked Phoebe tenderly putting an arm around Paige?

“Sean and I thought it would be for the best not to get you in the middle. I was trying to protect you” answered Paige.

“Phoebe. Paige needs your support; not your judgment” cut in Patty.

“I know. I’m not judging you, honey but you should have told me” said Phoebe caringly.

Paige closed her eyes trying to fight back the tears that were starting to overtake her. Phoebe pulls her little sister in to a hug.

“Paige. Do you really want to put your baby up for adoption” asked Phoebe with concern?

She just shook her head because the painful lump in her throat is now preventing her from speaking.

“Then this is what we’re going to do. We are going down to the kitchen and have some tea. We’ll all discuss what we can do to help you keep my niece or nephew” Phoebe said with a comforting smile.

“I can’t—” Paige started to say but Phoebe interrupted her.

“Where there’s a will, there’s away” Phoebe said standing up and pulls her little sister to her feet.

The front door of the Manor opens and Piper and Leo comes in laughing. Phoebe in the lead and Paige and Patty close behind. Phoebe stops suddenly right in front of Piper and Leo.

“Oh Piper, You’re home” Phoebe said uncomfortably.

“Yes we are...Mom...How are you here and corporeal” said Piper surprised!

“Hello, my daring” Patty said hugging her second daughter.

“How did you get here” demand Leo?

“Your son” Patty simply said.”

Paige was standing slightly up the stairs. Piper looks up and caught the emotional pain on her sister’s face. “Leo can you go and check on Wyatt” asked Piper? “I need to...” Leo faded off when he sees his wife’s face. “I’ll go and check on Wyatt.”

“Thank you” said Piper giving her husband a kiss.

When Leo disappeared upstairs, Piper, Phoebe, Paige, and Patty proceeded to the kitchen. Once they get into the kitchen. Piper turned to get information from the others.

“Ok, what the hell is going on” questioned Piper?

“Piper, there is a personal problem that Paige is having” explaining Phoebe.

“What exactly is the problem? You’re not pregnant, are you” joked Piper?

No one answered but just looks at her.

“Oh my god, you’ve got to be kidding. You’re pregnant” said Piper in disbelief!

“Piper, please sit down. Paige needs our support and not your judgment” Patty firmly said.

Piper sat down at the table. “How far a long is you” asked Piper

“I’m three weeks” whispered Paige.

“Did you plan this” asked Piper?

“No” said Paige reprehensibly.

“Piper, that’s enough, there is more to this and you’re going to sit there and listen” order Patty compassionately.

“Where’s Sean” asked Paige just realizing he wasn’t there?

“I’ll go get him” replied Phoebe. After a minute or two Phoebe came back to the kitchen. “I couldn’t find him.”

“That’s great you tell him you’re pregnant and he bails” Piper said angrily.

“He didn’t bail. He loves me. There had to be something he had to do” retorted Paige. Paige could no longer stop the tears that were fighting to be released.

Phoebe walks over and hugs her sister. “It’ll be ok, sweetie. I promise” said Phoebe warmly.

“Paige, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to... I mean...I was just surprised by your announcement and then Sean wasn’t here. I jump to the wrong conclusion” Piper said apologetically.

Patty gets up and lead Paige to the table to sit down. “Paige, all this stress is not good for you or the baby” said Patty. “I’ll make tea” Phoebe said getting water in the teakettle.

“I can’t go through telling this again” whispered Paige.

Patty held her youngest daughter hand, “I tell Piper with Phoebe’s help. You just sit there and rest ok.” Paige just nodded. Phoebe joins the rest at the table and Patty and Phoebe starts to fill Piper in on what was going on.

Sean and Colm were standing in a clearing in a wooded area.

“Why are you helping me” asked Sean?

“Because you’re in need of it” answered Colm.

“What do you get out of it” inquired Sean?

“The satisfaction that two people that love one another can end up together” answered Colm.

“What kind of answer is that” retorted Sean?

“The only one you’ll going to get right now” Colm said smiling.

Sean look intently at Colm trying to figure out where he had seen him but for some reason he couldn’t place it. He was also wondering what Colm actually gets out of helping him and Paige. An acquaintance from his past, “No one does anything for nothing” he thought. Sean also knew he felt comfortable and safe with this man.

“I don’t remember you but for some strange reason I feel I can trust you” Sean said nervously. “If they find out”

“Don’t worry about them” Colm said interrupting Sean. “Your job is to get Paige to agree and get her here before dawn.”

“Why before dawn” asked Sean?

“I’ll explain later” replied Colm. “You better get going.”

“You’ll explain now” demanded Sean.

Colm just smiled “I have a feeling it’s going to take some time to convince your love of the plan.”

Piper was sitting and looking into her coffee cup. She was soaking in all the information that she just received form her mother and sister. Piper did not want to say anything that would upset her baby sister even more.

Leo walks into the kitchen and takes site of the depressed room. “Whose dog died” joked Leo? Piper gets up and walks over to her husband. Piper takes Leo’s hand “Honey, can you give us a little more mother and daughters’ time?”

Leo looked at all the women in the room and knew that they were talking about something very serious. “Yea I can do that. Patty when you’re ready. I’ll take you back” said Leo tenderly. “Thanks” Patty simply replied.

Leo left the kitchen. Piper was heading back to the table when Sean flashed into the kitchen.

“What the hell” exasperated Piper?

“Sorry” said Sean. “Paige can we talk in private.”

“I don’t think so” retorted Piper. “Not until I get some answers”

“I really don’t have time for this, Piper. We can talk later” clarified Sean.

“No! We’ll talk now, Look at her she’s upset and now what, you want to upset her even more” bellowed Piper.

“Piper! Sean! This isn’t helping matters” interrupted Patty.

“Sean, why don’t you talk to Paige with us present and don’t give me any of that in confidence B.S.” suggested Phoebe.

Sean looked at Paige for help with her family but he noticed how wore down she was. Sean did not want to add to her stress. So he agreed with Phoebe’s suggestion.

“Paige, daring, I meet someone to help us” said Sean lovingly.

“Help us how” asked Paige?

“There’s a kind of ceremony he could do but it has to be done before dawn” explained Sean.

“What kind of ceremony” interrupted Piper protectively?

Sean looked at Piper and back to Paige. “Can we please discuss this in private?”

“Why don’t you just answer my sister’s question” appealed Paige?

Sean sighed and reached into his pocket. Sean touches Paige’s cheek and then knelt down in front of her. Sean brought forth what he pulled from his pocket. It was a small black velvet box.

Sean opened the box and sitting within it was a one-caret diamond ring. The diamond was surround by emeralds on both sides.

“This ring has been passed down generation to generation. My great, great, great grandfather gave it to his bride-to-be. When their grandson was ready to ask his love to marry. She gave it to him and said ‘This ring brought years of love and happiness for your grandfather and me. So I bless this ring and give it to you. May your years together have martial bliss.’ So what I’m trying to say is” Sean toke Paige’s hand in his. “Will you do me the honor of growing old with me as my wife” Sean asked with every bit of love in his heart?

Paige could hardly believe what Sean was doing. She has only known him a couple months and now he was asking her to marry him and for the wrong reason.

“Sean, this isn’t a solution. I can’t marry you because I’m pregnant” said Paige unhappily.

“I’m not asking you because you’re pregnant” elucidated Sean.

“Really so you’d every attention of asking me to marry you tonight then” retorted Paige.

“Well no but...” Sean stops in mid-sentence when Paige gets up and walks out of the kitchen. “Paige” yelled Sean.

Sean went to follow her and Piper grabs his arm. “Mom, can you go and check on Paige because Phoebe and I are going to have little talk with lover boy” asked Piper? Patty nods her head and left to find her daughter.

Sean pulls his arm out of Piper’s grip. Sean looks at her angrily and starts to walk out of the kitchen. But before Sean can make it out of the room. Piper asked “so you think putting a ring on Paige’s finger will just fix everything.”

Sean stops and turns to face Paige’s two big sisters. He knew he would have to convince them first before he would have any chance to prove his love to Paige and that getting married was not a solution but their destiny.

“I know putting a ring on her finger won’t fix anything. I’m asking her to marry me because I love her and I want to spend the rest of my life with her” said Sean heatedly.

“What about quick and severe punishment” retorted Phoebe. “Is there anything about this you don’t know” Sean asked furiously.

“No and when it comes to protecting my family there’s nothing I won’t do” Piper replied crossly.

Sean sighed “We have to do it before dawn to avoid the quick and severe punishment. I need to explain all this to Paige. We’re really wasting time” said Sean impatiently.

“What if she doesn’t agree are you going to carry her off like some caveman” asked Phoebe?

“No, of course not. Who do you think I am” retorted Sean?

“That’s the point, Sean, we don’t know you” explained Piper calmly.

Sean walks over to the island and sits down. He puts his face into his hands to try to calm his nerves and the anger growing inside him.

When he finally looked up “Look I know we don’t know each other very well but one thing you need to understand is I love your sister more than my own life. You’re right I wouldn’t be asking Paige to marry me right now if it wasn’t for the baby. But the only thing the baby has done is to help me see how much I love your sister and how I want to spend the rest of my life with her. Sometimes good and unexpected things can shove you in the right direction and the punishment thing will work itself out. Sean was now smiling at the idea of spending the rest of his life with Paige.

“You really do love her don’t you” asked Phoebe smiling.

“Stay focus, Phoebe” said Piper.

Sean swallowed hard “I love your sister, whether you like it or not It’s not your decision. It will be Paige’s and me” Sean got up and walks out of the kitchen. Piper and Phoebe were gaping at the man that obviously was not a push over.

“Who does he think he is” Piper asked Phoebe?

“I would say he’s our new brother-in-law” laughed Phoebe.

“You think” said Piper?

“I know” grinned Phoebe. “Look Piper he loves Paige very much and Paige love him. What right do we have to stand in the way and he’s right it’s not out decision, it’s theirs besides if this helps Paige keep the baby then hey I’m all for it” said Phoebe raising her eyebrows and smirking a little bit.

Piper smiles back and realizes she has not right to stand in the way of her little sister’s happiness, if this is what she wants then she wants it to.

Paige was sitting in the conservatory with Patty.

“Would you have married Sam? If he would’ve asked you” inquired Paige.

Patty sit there thinking back when she was in the same place as Paige is right now. “Would I have married Sam? Yes I think I would have but that was a long time ago and things were different then” said Patty sadly.

Paige looked closely at her mother “He did ask you didn’t he? He wanted to clip his wing but you wouldn’t let him.”

“Yea but I couldn’t let him because he had other charges that needed him, besides your grams wouldn’t allow us to keep you. You see she was worried that Prue, Piper and Phoebe wouldn’t receive their powers and wouldn‘t become the Charmed Ones. She was worried about what would happen to you as well. So we gave you up” Patty explained sorrowfully.

Paige sat there quietly trying to understand everything that was happening to her.

“What should I do” asked Paige?

“Honey, you have to listen to your conscience” said Patty lovingly.

“But you shouldn’t forget the wisdom of your heart” Sean interrupted as he walks into the conservatory. “Patty can I please have a moment alone with you daughter. Patty smiles, nods and left them alone to talk. “Thank you” Sean said to Patty. As she left, Patty patted him on his shoulder.

Sean walks over to Paige and sits down besides her. He gently takes her hand in his. “Paige I love you when I asked you to marry me it wasn’t because of the baby. Did the baby help weight my options, aye that it did. This baby is a gift just like our love. I don’t want to see what my life would be like without you because I already know and it was lonely and I was lost. So I ask you again would you please marry me tonight” Sean asked amorously.

Paige closed her eyes and nods. “Yes is that what you mean” asked Sean excitedly? Yes, Sean I’ll marry you” Paige said smiling.

Sean got up and pulls Paige into a big hug and starts to twirl them around. “Sean” Paige said laughing.

“What” asked Sean?

“You can stop twirling me and put me down” smiled Paige.

“I’m sorry. Did I hurt you” Sean asked concern. “No I’m having a little morning sickness and you twirling me around are making it worse” explain Paige.

I’m sorry” apologized Sean. And then he kissed her with such love and passion.

Sean was still holding Paige in a relax hug. “Let’s go tell everyone” Paige said excitedly. Paige went to go but Sean pulls her closer to him.

“We can’t tell Leo” Sean grimly said. “Why” asked Paige?

“Because he’s not just your brother-in-law, he’s also an Elder” explained Sean sadly.

Paige nods “you’re right but I wish he could be there too.”

Sean pulls her even closer “I know, m’love, but we can’t risk it. We’ll just have to tell him later.”

Sean let’s his arms fall from Paige and he takes Paige’s hand in his “let’s go and informs Patty and your sisters, okay.”

Paige nods and they head for the kitchen but before they went into the kitchen. Sean stop and turns to Paige “I know you wanted be getting the fairy tale wedding you deserve but I do promise you a happily ever after.”

Paige kisses Sean “I don’t need a big wedding. I just need you.”

Patty, Piper, and Phoebe were sitting at the table waiting for Paige and her decision. Sean and Paige entered the kitchen, smiling “Do you want to go to a wedding?”

Phoebe jumped up and hugged Paige “I’m so happy for you.”

Piper stands up “I’ll go and get Leo, so we can leave.”

“Piper please wait! You can’t tell him” said Paige nervously. “Why” Piper asked Paige?

Paige looked at Sean and he grips her hand a little tighter to reinsure her. “Piper, I know Leo’s your husband but he’s also an Elder. They can’t know not until after we’re married” Paige said apologetically.

Piper nods dejectedly “Well I guess we better get going.” Paige regrets not being able to tell Leo and putting Piper in the middle. She just hopes that Leo will understand when they tell him. Paige also hopes that he doesn’t get to upset with Piper.

“You have to grab a hold of me” explained Sean. Paige, Piper, Phoebe, and Patty grab hold of him and they flashes out.

Colm was standing in the clearing waiting for Sean and the others to arrive. When Paige, Sean, Piper, Phoebe, and Patty arrived in the clearing, Colm had been very busy. All the trees surrounding the clearing was lit with tiny white Christmas lights. He had also placed a flowered archway at one end of the clearing. There also was a strange stone in the middle of the archway with a hole in the middle. Paige opened her eyes wide with surprise.

“I thought you said it wouldn’t be a fairy tale wedding” Paige said to Sean smiling.

Colm step forward “every little girl within the woman needs a little make believe on her wedding day.”

Paige smile increases and Sean puts his around her. “Thank you, Colm but why are you really doing all this?”

“I’m a hopeless romantic” Colm said smiling. “I explain more after the ceremony” added Colm. “Oh ladies you can find your dresses over in that tent” Colm gestured over to a tent along the left side of the clearing. “And Sean you can get into your tux over in that tent over there, on the right.”

The women headed for their tent. Sean just stood there “Sean you better go and get changed” said Colm.

“Who are you really” Sean asked softly?

“I promise I’ll tell you everything after the ceremony” answered Colm. “And not a second before, you better go and get ready.

“How did you do all this? There’s no electricity out here” said Sean happily.

Colm smiled “generators. Go get ready, Sean, times a ticking.”

Sean walks into the tent and standing inside was Ian and a man that Sean didn’t know. Sean stops and looks over at the stranger.

Ian, Sean’s whitelighter and best friend and the stranger looked at Sean when he enters the tent. They were already dress in their tuxedos. Ian walks over to Sean and shook his hand. Ian saw that Sean was looking at the man standing behind him now.

“Sean, this is Sam, Paige’s father” informed Ian. Sam walks up and puts out his hand and Sean took it. “Hi” Sean said cautiously.

“You know I’m not sure if I approve of this but Paige seems to be in love with you. But if you hurt my little girl, well let’s just say I’ll forget that I’m a whitelighter” Sam said smiling but the smile didn’t reach his eyes.

“Mr. Wilder I love your daughter and I have no intention of every hurting her” said Sean confidentially.

“Ian, do you know who this Colm is” asked Sean?

“Sean you better get into your tux. The ceremony will start soon” Ian said abating the question. Sean shook his head to the conspiracy and went to get his tux on. He would just have to deal with this later because right now he has to focus on getting married to the woman he loves.

Paige came out from behind the curtain. She was wearing a beautiful wedding gown. It was sleeveless, decorated with mother of pearl beading. It had a long train and instead of a veil, she had a tiara of diamonds. Patty, Phoebe and Piper dresses were long, sleeveless with spaghetti straps. The dresses were a royal blue in color.

“Paige, honey you’re beautiful” said Patty.

Paige sighed unsurely “Do you think I’m doing the right thing?”

Piper walks over to her sister and hugs her. “Paige do you love Sean with all your heart” asked Piper lovingly?

“Yes I love him with all my heart” replied Paige.

“Then yes sweetie, you’re doing the right thing” answered Piper. Paige smiled and Patty and Phoebe join Paige and Piper’s hug.

“You ladies about ready” asked Colm outside the tent. Phoebe looks at Paige and Paige nods. “Yes, I believe we’re ready” answered Phoebe for Paige.

“All right I’ll go and tell the men” Colm clapped his hands together.

“Men” said Patty. The others shrugged their shoulders. Piper was straightening out Paige’s train on her dress when orbs appeared in the tent. After the orbs had disappeared, Sam was standing there.

“Sam” said Patty surprised but happy to see him.

Sam walks over and hugs and kisses Patty. “I’ve missed you.”

“I’ve missed you, too.”

Sam then turned and looked at his daughter.

“Do you mind if I give you away. I know I’m asking you a lot” asked Sam?

“I would love for you to walk me down the isle” said Paige affectionately.

Leo was upstairs and realized how quiet it was downstairs. He decides to go down and see what was going on.

When Leo arrived downstairs. He went form room to room but couldn’t find anyone and he starts to panic. Leo closes his eyes to sense where his family is and Wyatt starts crying. Leo orbs upstairs thinking that he could be in danger. Wyatt is standing up in his bed crying loudly.

“Wyatt, it’s okay. Daddy’s here” said Leo picking him up from his bed.

When Leo picked him up, Wyatt stops crying and smiles at his dad then Wyatt orbs him and his father out of the house.

Colm, Sean, and Ian were standing in front of the flowered archway. Colm waves his arm and Jim Brickman’s Course of Love starts to play. Patty comes out of the tent and walks towards the flower archway then shortly later Phoebe emerges from the tent. She heads towards the archway. Piper appears from the tent and starts to head for the archway but Leo and Wyatt orbs in from of her.

Leo looks around the clearing. He sees the cake and the tents, the archway and everyone dressed up.

“Piper, what’s going on” asked Leo confused?

Piper, Phoebe and Patty freezes and looks at Leo. “Umm it’s...Umm...It’s a wedding” Piper finally stuttered.

“Who‘s” inquired Leo?

“Paige and Sean’s wedding” interrupted Colm.

Leo spun around to see who was addressing him. Leo’s mouth drops open when he sees whom is standing there. “Leo, a tux your size is in that tent over there” said Colm pointing to the tent where Sean and the other men changed. “Let me have Wyatt and you go change into it” “Leo simply nods, and hands Wyatt to Colm then he heads for the tent.

Colm then turn to Piper, Phoebe and Patty “Why don’t you go and tell Paige they’ll be a short delay while Leo changes into his tux.” They head back to the tent to inform Paige and Sam of the holdup.

After a few minutes Leo came out of the tent and walk up to where Colm, Sean, Ian was standing by the flowered archway.

“I’m glad you could make it, Leo” said Colm smiling.

“I’m glad Wyatt brought me” Leo said laughing. “Your son does have away to know what’s going on” replied Colm grinning.

Sean who had taken Wyatt from Colm was now handing Wyatt back to Leo. Sean was observing the chitchat between Leo and Colm. He knew now that Leo knew Colm very well and this disturbed him. Sean could not place him but obviously everyone else who was standing up here with him was more informed then he was.

Sean was pacing back and forth in front of the archway. “Sean, are you nervous” asked Ian laughing? “Uh, Oh aye I’m a tad bit on the nervous side” said Sean running his hand through his hair.

“Well let’s get this started” said Colm waving his hand to start the music again.

Patty came out first followed by Phoebe then Piper. Paige and Sam then appeared from the tent and starts towards the flower archway. “Are you ok, Paige” asked Sam lovingly?

“Yea I’m great” replied Paige. Sam knew that he would never have been able to do this if Paige didn’t let him into her life. Sam smiles at Paige with a father’s love.

When Paige appeared from the tent and starts walking towards the archway and Sean. Sean felt like everything around Paige and him froze. They were the only two people in the world at this very moment. “A perfect moment in time” whispered Colm. “Huh...what” said Sean? “Time seems to stop and you’re the only people in this very moment. It’s called a perfect moment in time your love for one another did it. It’s a great gift. Most mortal does not even see it, for that matter, some druids or witches doesn’t see it either” smiled Colm.

When Sean look back to Paige and Sam time had resume to normal and they were almost to the archway. When they got there, Sam gave Sean Paige’s arm. Sam went to stand next to Patty. Sean smiles and walks Paige up to Colm. Colm is standing under the archway with the large stone with a hole in the middle.

Colm smiles at them. “The ringed Stone symbolizes the cycle of our lives as we move through the ever-changing universe. Through such hole and holy stones our ancestors clasp hands and they were wed and as such hand-fasting were true and binding for as long as love should last. If you wish to make such vows, witnessed by this gathering now come forward.”

Paige and Sean stands on either side of the ringed stone facing each other. They joined hands through the hole in the ringed stone.

“As the Sun and Moon bring light to Earth do you Sean and Paige vow to bring light of love and joy to the union” said Colm

“We do” answered Paige and Sean together.

Colm spoke again “and do you vow to honor each other as you honor which you hold most scared.”

“We do” replied Paige and Sean together.

“And do you maintain these vows in freedom, for as long as love shall last” Colm asked smiling?

“We do” responded Paige and Sean together.

“Let the stone bear witness that Sean and Paige are joined in love, joy, and freedom” spoken Colm.

“So let it be” said by everyone.

“Now Sean confess your vows to Paige” said Colm

Sean cleared his throat. “I could quote all the best writers that ever wrote about love but they still could never help me to put in words, how much I truly love you. You said you don’t have the power to heal but darling you do because you healed my heart. When I lost my family I thought I built walls to protect my heart but the truth is it was shattered in a million pieces. You touched me with your words then with your own heart and that love healed my heart and soul. I promise I will take care of you. I will stand by you whatever heaven or hell sends us. I’ll never bring tears of sadness just tears of joy. I will be there when you need me whether to talk or just hold you but most of all I promise to love you for as long as you allow me, too.”

“Now Paige it your turn to give your vows” said Colm.

Paige closed her eyes to stop the tears burning the corner of her eyes. “I never knew what true love was until you came crashing into my life. If I only knew when I sat down at that table what I would find. I would not have changed a thing. You opened your home and your heart to me when I needed it. You help me when I needed you with no questions asked. My love for you have grown everyday that I’ve known you and I know it canonly grow more as we spend the rest of our lives together. You have taught me to trust, to love without fear, and to have faith in the impossible. You helped me to laugh when I need too. You helped me to see things in a new and beautiful light. I’m excited to see what you teach me in the next fifty years. I don’t know what our future holds but I know I want to face it with you. I know you will take care of the baby and me. I already know what kind of father you’ll be because I’ve seen you with Wyatt. I know what kind of husband you’ll be, because of how you have treated me with such love and kindness and patients. Which with me you’ll need a lot. I am proud to become your wife. I will always love you and take care of you, listen to you, stand by you through the thick and the thin, as long as I live on this earth.

“So let it be” said by everyone together.

“The rings” requested Colm. Ian handed Colm the rings. “This rings you give each other is a symbol of everlasting love that you can show the world you are connect together in love.” said Colm when handing the rings to Paige and Sean. Paige placed Sean’s ring on his left hand and then Sean placed Paige’s ring on her left hand.

When that was done, Colm spoken again. “Let those assembled here bare witness that Sean and Paige are joined in love. May their love partake of the beauty, majesty and power of the sacred land and may they grow together in wisdom, joy, and harmony. My own blessing and the blessings of all those assembled be with you.”

Colm paused “The blessing of the ancestors be with you.”

He paused again “and with all that grows form you wisdom.”

Colm paused a third time “and with all that grows from your union.”

“So let it be” said Colm happily!

“So let it be” said everyone together!

“Sean you may kiss your wife” smiled Colm. Sean pulls Paige around the stone to him. He leans in and kisses her gently with all the love he had in his heart for her.

Colm takes Paige’s hand in his and smiles kindly at her. “The ring you now wear I made for my bride four hundred years ago. She loved it with all her heart.”

Sean mouth drops open in shock “you’re ...you’re my great—”

“I’m your great-great-great grandfather, Sean. That’s why I looked so familiar to you and why you could trust me” Colm interrupted Sean.

Piper turns and looks at Leo. “Why didn’t you stop the wedding, Leo” asked Piper?

“Because you do not interfere with an Ancient” replied Leo.

“You’re an Ancient” Paige and Sean said together?

“But if you’re an Ancient, why would you allow us to be together and besides that get married” asked Paige curiously.

“Well I guess it’s time to tell you everything” Colm sighed softly.

“You see it began three thousand years ago with a druid with the great power of sight. He had a very important vision of our family. At the same time though, the Seer had the same vision but abridge version of it.

“Huh” whispered Sean.

Colm smiled at his grandson. “The vision that druid had; was the last of a good and powerful druid family would marry into a family of charmed witches and from their joining one of the most powerful forces of good known would come forth from their love. The Seers only seen that it was a witch and a druid. So the Source sent his assassins to kill every witch and druid couple. The council of Druids, the Ancients, and the Elders decreed that no witch or druid should be together; if such would happen, a quick and severe punishment would be inflicted on those breaking it. There was a clause in it though, that was for you two. Only until you were born and came together would the rule be broken. They did it to protect them and you. So you see your married was foretold thousands of years ago.”

“You’re telling me that we’re part of some kind of ancient vision” asked Sean wryly.

“Not an Ancient’s vision but a druid’s vision” Colm said jokingly.

“Cute very Cute” added Paige. “So what’s this most powerful force of good you’re talking about.”

Colm placed his hand on her stomach. Paige jumps a little being surprised by his movement. “The future your carrying “ Colm simply said grinning with joy.

“We’re the reason for the rule and the reason it can be broken” questioned Sean in disbelief. “Can’t get anything by my grandson” teased Colm.

“Now I know where you get you humor” Paige said to Sean smiling.

“So what do we now do that you broke this rule for us” inquired Sean.

“I didn’t break the rule for you because you’re not breaking it” Sean just looked at his great-great-great grandfather. “You take care of your gift” Colm said to Sean. “And you keep this one in line” Colm added looking at Paige and pointing to Sean. “Be happy you found one another and with that it’s time for me to go” Colm smiles and hugs both of them and he was gone.

Sean and Paige cut the cake and were toasted by the best man. The dawn was coming closer and Patty and Sam walks up to their daughter and their new son-in-law.

“Dawn is approaching and I have to get Patty back” said Sam

“So that’s why we had to get married before dawn. So you could attend the ceremony” asked Sean. “Did you know all about this” added Paige to Patty?

“Yes some of it but the decision to get married still had to be yours and yours alone. History does repeat itself, my sweet baby, but the ending does not have to turn out the same” replied Patty as she hugs her daughter. “You better take real good care of her and my grandbaby because I’ll be watching” added Patty as she hugs Sean. Sam hugs Paige and kisses her on her cheek “if you need me call.”

“I thought I was your whitelighter” joked Paige and Sam smiled back. Sam put out his hand and Sean took it “remember what I said earlier.” Sean raised an eyebrow and nodded. Paige looks curiously at both Sam and Sean. She was amused by how protective the man were in her life.

“Ready Patty” asked Sam putting his hand out to take her hand after she hug Piper and Phoebe. She kissed Wyatt and hugs him and gave him back to Piper.

“Mother and Father” surprised Patty and Sam but they smiles. “Thanks for ever thing before and now” said Paige lovingly. Patty hugs her youngest daughter one more time “I love you.” Piper, Phoebe, and Leo were smiling at the both of them. Patty stepped back to take Sam’s hand and they orbed out.

Piper and Phoebe turned their attention to their new brother-in-law.

“If you hurt her in anyway we’ll vanquish you” said Phoebe with great emphasis.

“We all ready did it to one husband” added Piper jokingly. Phoebe had a flash of regret of what could have been if things had been different cross her eyes then it was gone.

Sean raises up his hand in retreat “last time I checked I’m not the Source of all evil.

Paige looked at him and narrowed her eyes. “Paige I not evil, I’m just teasing” said Sean a little scared. “So am I; I know you’re not evil. I could sense it” smiled Paige and she kisses him comfortingly.

“So are you going to live at the Manor” asked Leo?

“We’ll decide that after the honeymoon. If you need us will be in Ireland and here’s a spell that will allow you to contact us” said Sean taking Paige into his arms. “But don’t unless it’s an emergency” add Paige grinning.

Sean kissed Paige and they flashes out.

“Umm, what do we do about all this” asked Piper looking around the clearing?

“Nothing, it will disappear as the sun rises; Well not all the cake, dresses, and tuxes will remain. It’s a gift form the old one. I’ll help you get all this back to the Manor” explained Ian.

Sean and Paige appears in front of a little cottage in the hills of Ireland. Sean swing Paige up into his arms and kisses her passionately and lovingly. “And we live happily ever after” whispered Sean in Paige’s ear.

“We’ll see” Paige said smiling with a twinkle of mischief in her eyes and she starts to giggle.

Sean opens the door to the cottage and cares Paige over the threshold when he enters the cottage he kicks the door closed behind them.
