Sweet Seduction

The final chapter. Enjoy!

-----

It's been a month after the death of The Source.

I never told Prue or her sisters about what happened in the Underworld; they only think I was stuck there until they came to vanquish my father. I did tell them that he told me about how Jarrod had been watching us, Prue and me mostly, and that The Source was disappointed in me. Lying, I told them that I had no idea what else he'd been planning for me... But what they didn't know: I'd already felt it.

Prue and I decided to take our relationship slower, thankfully for me. I was desperately praying that she never had to find out about anything that happened that night with him, and if she and I were making love, I was sure she would've picked up something. We still kiss and cuddle and touch, and she's so gentle... I almost forget about that night. Almost.

She's forgiven me for coming to her as part of a task. I retold the story of how my father wanted me to seduce her - when I explained this, Prue couldn't help but smile - and that I fell in love.

Back to the present day: Piper and Leo's wedding. They decided to do it now because they wanted to put some happiness back into the air. I hoped I wasn't being too depressed about everything, but I must've looked as unhappy as I felt.

I stood inside the bathroom, holding a small package in my hands, rereading the directions over and over again. I waited anxiously for five minutes and couldn't help but glance at the stick every other second. I sat down onto the toilet, careful not to put any wrinkles or creases into my magenta-colored dress. Five minutes passed by slowly; my heart was beating rapidly. I grabbed the stick and looked at the directions. Uncolored means... Colored means...

"Delilah?"

Jumping in fright, I nearly threw the test out the window. "Yeah?" I said quietly with a sigh.

"Can I come in?"

I pushed the stick down into the garbage along with the other plastic that came with it, then plunged piles of toilet paper so that the test was hidden. "Yeah," I called, smoothing out my dress with haste.

Long, brunette hair flowed along her shoulders, hiding the similar pink straps I also had. Her green eyes were curious, concerned, caring. "Hey, we were getting ready," Prue said, reaching out to grab my hands.

Smiling slightly, I apologized, "Sorry. I kinda just... got wrapped up in thoughts up here."

"The bathroom is a good thinking space," Prue joked, baring the smirk I adore. I blushed a little, the color matching my dress. "Guess what?" she asked, her face glowing with excitement. "My mom is here."

My face scrunched in confusion. "I thought you said she was... dead?"

"Well she was... is. But The Elders, Leo's bosses, allowed her to come here for Piper and Leo's wedding!" she cried ecstatically. "Do you want to go meet her?" Nodding shyly, I said "yes," and Prue led me down the stairs.

There stood Cole and Phoebe beside a large archway, talking and romantically gazing at one another. Leo, dressed in a nice tuxedo, looked so happy as he stood under the arch along with an older woman that I met last night, the sisters' grandmother they called Grams. Grams was (literally) glowing as well as she talked to a woman in front of her, whose long, golden hair I could only see. Grams must've motioned to the woman that Prue and I had come into vision, for she turned around and smiled. She looked so much like all three of the sisters, so beautiful.

"Mom, this is Delilah," Prue said happily.

"I know," she said, smiling a motherly smile. I gave her a funny look, curious to know how she already knew me; Prue's look was similar to mine. "I've watched you, Prue, and I can see how happy Delilah makes you," she said to both of us. Then she turned to only me. "Delilah, you've been through a lot, haven't you?"

I nodded meekly.

"So has Prue." Prue tightened her hold on my hand and offered a gentle smile. "You make each other whole and strong. Don't let go of what you have... before it's too late." I saw her look over to an older man who was standing beside the kitchen entrance, who seemed to be white with shock. It was obvious to me that it was Victor, the Charmed Ones' father, and he was astounded that his dead wife was suddenly looking very much alive.

"I won't let her go," I promised Prue's mother.

She smiled and asked, "Would you like a hug?"

I nodded innocently and let go of Prue's hand. I embraced with her mother. She was warm and delicate... like a mother, someone I've never met before. Prue looked on with an affectionate smile, her eyes glazing over with tears of happiness. I let go and wiped away a tear from my cheek. Laughing quietly, I apologized, "I'm sorry."

The woman smiled.

"Places!" Grams shouted. "Patty, you stand over here, and Victor - oh, get over it now - you go by the stairs."

Prue and I smirked a little and stood next to Phoebe, who was by herself since Cole had to stand on the opposite side. Leo still stood proudly, awaiting the sight of his wife-to-be. Victor was still getting over the shock, which made Patty's smile brighten.

Grams used her power to turn on the stereo and play a beautiful song that led to Piper's entrance. Piper came down the stairs and looked absolutely magnificent. Her hair was beautifully done, her brunette locks curled at the ends; her dress was white and flowing; her face was glistening with joy. She locked arms with her father, who got over the amazement for this brief moment, and strolled down gracefully toward Leo. Piper cast glances to each of us, her smiling enlightening all of us even more; she was finally getting her wish.

Leo and Piper stood up there, the atmosphere filled with love. Prue took my hand gently, caressing my flesh with her thumb. I smiled at her while I watched the couple become bound together in marriage.

Together Piper and Leo recited: "Heart to thee, body to thee, always and forever, so mote it be."

"So mote it be," Grams repeated.

"So mote it be," said the rest of us.

With a grin, Grams added to Leo, "You may kiss the bride." Leo leaned in to kiss Piper, while the rest of us clapped and smiled.

Prue walked behind me and wrapped her arms across my middle. She rested her head upon my shoulder. "I love you," she whispered sweetly, nuzzling into my neck.

Smiling weakly, I whispered back, "I love you, too." The pit in my stomach churned as she rested her hands over my abdomen. The sick, icy, disgusting words of my father echoed continuously inside my mind:

"This is just the beginning, Delilah." "This is just the beginning, Delilah." "This is just the beginning, Delilah."

I swallowed a sob as quietly as I could; Prue didn't take notice. I placed my hands over hers, over my stomach, over the child that was slowly growing inside of it, and I held onto Prue... and held on tight.

"This is just the beginning, Delilah."

That's the end. Kinda left you guys with a cliffhanger, hm? :)

Now I already have some ideas for the sequel, because there will be one for sure, but I'm not completely sure how it'll play out. If there's something you want to see (or read rather...) you have to let me know! Review the story and say what you want me to have in the next story. Review saying what you don't want me to do in the next story. Review saying you don't think there should be another one! (Though, I'd probably do one anyway... unless you really think I'm doing a horrible job.)

If you're not a reviewer or don't want anyone else but me to read it, feel free to email me: candycaner@hotmail.com. Also, if you do review, you can leave your email so that I could get back to you and let you know what I'll do for you. :)

I can't say when I'll be posting the sequel, but hopefully soon. I really want some kind of reviews before it is posted. Keep in mind: if the story isn't up yet, it's because I'm unsatisfied with you guys (and your lack of reviewing!) Hey, I'm picky and needy. I'll write the sex up for just me instead of you guys! ;P

Haha, okay, I'm done. It's been a pleasure writing for you. Review for me! :) See you in the next one.
