Summary: Phoebe has forgiven Cole, but it's not so easy for her sisters and Leo to forget, not to mention the Elders, who are not too happy about the lovers reunion.

A/N: This is the not-so-awaited sequel to "Two in a million", but it's here none the less. The first chapter takes place the morning after our favourite couple made up, after 'Two in a million.'



Chap. 1

Phoebe lazily opened one eye, looking around the room. The memories of last night flooded back to her in a matter of seconds, and she smiled. She rolled over to make sure it wasn't one gigantic dream, but sure enough there was Cole lying right beside her. Phoebe jumped as she heard the familiar buzz of her cell phone that she preferred rather than a ring tone. She vaguely remembered missing a few calls, because she was otherwise preoccupied. She smiled again and picked up the phone.

"Hello?" She said quietly, so not to wake Cole.

"Phoebe!? Where the hell have you been? We've been worried sick, we almost called the police!" Piper yelled.

"Piper, calm down. Let me call you back okay?" She hung up before Piper could reply, climbed out of bed and headed to the shower, ignoring the buzzing that her phone made after she was gone.



30 minutes later Phoebe walked out of the bathroom surprised to see that Cole was still asleep. She shrugged and retrieved her phone from the nightstand. Once she was in the living room she dialled the manor's number and sat on the couch, waiting for one of her sisters to pick up.

"Phoebe?" She heard Piper's voice.

"Piper?" She asked, to be sure.

"Where are you?" Piper asked, seemingly calmer than before.

"Umm.....are you sitting down?" Phoebe asked.

"Oh no...not Cole's.." Piper said.

"Piper, he's not evil anymore." Phoebe said, sensing a feeling of de ja vu.

"Do you know how many times I've heard that before?" Piper asked.

"I do. But this is different. Cole isn't even a demon anymore, much less the source." Phoebe said, trying her hardest to convince her sister.

"Phoebe...." Piper paused before continuing, "I know that I have no say in who, or what--" Phoebe cut her off.

"Piper! He's human! And of course you have a say, but before you have your say hear me out." Phoebe said.

"I'm listening." Piper finally said.

"Okay, I'm not sure we should do this over the phone. We'll talk about it when I get home." Phoebe said. "Bye!" Once again she hung up before her sister could reply. The truth was she didn't really have an explanation for why she was back together with Cole. She was sure that the fact that she loved Cole wouldn't count for everything, but that was all she could offer. She loved him more than anything, and she truly believed that he was good again. But it wasn't going to be so easy to convince her sisters.

"Didn't go too well?" Phoebe jumped. She turned to see Cole standing in the doorway of his room.

"It's not going to be easy persuading them." Phoebe said. Cole walked towards her and enveloped her in a hug, leaning his chin on her head. Phoebe welcomed his embrace and wrapped her arms around his waist.

"I know it isn't. But I'll be right there with you. Every step of the way." He pulled back and lifted up her chin so she was looking into his eyes. "Okay?" Phoebe smiled and nodded, then leant forward and kissed him lightly on the lips.

"I have to get going. Or I'm afraid Piper will hunt me down." Phoebe said half jokingly as she pulled away from Cole.

"I'll come with you." Cole said. Phoebe smiled.

"You don't have to do that. Besides, this might not be the right time for you to introduce yourself back into their lives, for good." Phoebe said.

"I wasn't kidding when I said I'd be right there with you. I'm not taking no for an answer." Cole said, retreating back into the room to get dressed. Phoebe was quite glad he had put his foot down. She knew this would put pressure on their relationship, and how better to welcome that pressure than as a couple. And ironically, with the amount of pressure they were going to get, it would be amazing if at the end of it all they still remained a couple.





Okay, that chapter was short. I just needed to get it started before the "confrontation". Be sure to leave a review. I do accept flames, just keep them short so I don't break down and cry!
