Meant To Be by Wyatt

Piper sat on the couch in her office. She just seemed to stare at nothing. She heard her staff coming in to set up for the night but she made no indication of letting them know she was there. Her whole world had suddenly crashed around her. She couldn�t even imagine the pain in her heart as she lost one of the people she held closest to her.

She looked back when Prue had admitted her love to her and Phoebe that one day after the demon of fear had tried to kill them. She felt them the similarities to her oldest sister. Why let someone in to your heart only to have him or her torn way from you.

But this was different. This was her own doing. Her decision not anyone else�s.

She couldn�t handle it anymore. Every time got close to someone something happened. She looked back and it all started with Jeremy. "Trust me to fall for a warlock." She said top no one. Agh then there was the ghost." She added sarcastically

He turned off the engine as he watched his passenger exit the car.

"I�fll wait here."
"Thanks Darryl. For everything."
"Hey no problem."

She opened the door and heard the staff milling about immediately.

"Sorry were not. Oh hi Prue. What brings you by? I thought Piper was getting married today?"
"She was. Or is as soon as I find her."
"I haven�t seen her. But you can check the office. I haven�t been in there yet."
"Thanks Ron." Prue said as she made her way down the hall to Pipers office.

Prue paused outside the door and could hear her younger sister crying. And she knew then that whatever happened she was going to fix this.

"Piper honey." Prue said gently as she opened the door and saw Piper sitting on the couch, her head in her hands. "Oh sweetie." She said as she sat down and wrapped her arms around Piper as she held her close letting hr know she was there when she was ready to talk.

"It�s not fair Prue. Every time we get close to someone it all goes to pieces. And now this."
"Oh Piper I�m sooo sorry. This is my fault."
"Yes it is." Piper agreed. Though Prue didn�t expect her to disagree. "But it wasn�t you. It was your powers that ruined it. It�s this whole witch thing that ruined it. I just want to marry the man I love and live a normal life. Is that to much to ask?"
"No it�s not. It�s a perfectly normal request for anyone; Anyone but the Halliwell women. Piper you can�t let our heritage stand between you and Leo. You two have gone through so much to get to this point. But Piper you also have to realize that all our family has had this same struggle. And if you let him go now you are giving in to them and every one else that doesn�t want this to happen. I mean can you imagine all the demons down there, not to mention the Source, if you two were to have kids? Think about what a half Whitelighter and half Charmed One would do to their �lets ruin the world party.� You two were meant to be together. I saw that the first time I saw you as a couple. And even when you and Phoebe were fighting over him. I knew who would win that fight. I could see it in both of your eyes." Prue told her sister as she held on to her, holding her close.

Piper listened to her big sister talking. She knew what Prue was trying to say. It was meant to be.

"I�fm really sorry that it had to be me that ruined all of this for you."
"Yeah well if it wasn�t you it would have been something else. That�s the thing Prue. I just wanted one day with no magic in my life. I just wanted to be Piper Halliwell. Middle sister to Prue and Phoebe Halliwell."
"First of all you are never JUST Piper Halliwell, or JUST our middle sister. You are special in your own way and in the way you deal with things. Now the no magic part. You will always have magic in your life Piper. Be it supernatural magical or just the love that you and Leo have together. Because you two share something that I could only dream of."
Piper leaned back against Prue, "you�ll find it one day."
"I lost my chance the day Andy died Piper. Your chance is waiting at the Manor for you right now. Hoping that you will see that this is meant to be no matter what evil or wonky powers throws at any of us." Prue said. "Piper let me ask you something. That I already know that answer to."
"What?"
"Do you love Leo?"
"That�fs a stupid question you know I do."
"And you want to be with him for the rest of your life and any life that come after that right?"
"Yes." Piper said knowing where her sister was going."
"Then be with him Piper. Marry the man that you are meant to. Don�ft lose out on your chance at happiness like I did. It only comes around once and your time is here now. Reach out and grab it."

Piper sat a bit longer as her sisters�f words sank in. She knew Prue was right. But inside she wasn�ft even sure what to think anymore.

"Thank you. You�fre right. We do belong together and to be damned with the rest of them." Piper said as she sat up and looked at Prue, "How did you get to be so good at this big sister thing?"
"Years of practice." Prue smiled as Piper reached around and pulled Prue into a hug.
"Now come on before Leo decides that I�fve gone off and joined a convent." Piper said as she got up and started for the door pulling Prue after her.

Prue watched as Piper got back her spark. "Hey Piper." She called out as he stepped up beside her, taking her arm in hers. "I love you."
Piper squeezed her arm in hers, "Love you more."
