"Night Phoebs," Phoebe Turner's oldest sister, Piper Wyatt, said to her as she opened her bedroom door.

"Night," Phoebe replied and smiled at her as she stepped into her room. She closed the door behind her and looked around the room as she flipped on the light. No one was there, yet.

For the last six months Phoebe had been sneaking around with a man her sisters didn't approve of, Cole Turner. Cole was actually her husband, but six months ago she and her sisters had vanquished him because the Source of all Evil had been taking over his body. Cole's soul had been sent to the wasteland, where all vanquished demons end up. But since he was a demon with a soul, his body didn't incenatrate upon entering the atmosphere.

After contacting Phoebe through whispering and channeling, Phoebe went to him in the wasteland. He had wanted Phoebe to use black magic to reincarnate him, but Phoebe had refused to use that kind of magic ever again. After she had left, he absorbed several vanquished demons powers, killed the beast that gaurded the wasteland, and returned to Earth as half demon, half human.

Phoebe walked across her room to her dresser and pulled out a camosile and a pair of Cole's old boxers and put them on. Then pulled back the covers of her bed and nessled down between them to wait for Cole's arrival.

Half past ten, an hour after Phoebe had gotten into bed, she woke when she senced a light in the room. She looked at her bedside table and notice several candles lit. There were several more on the other table next to her bed, and around the room. She sat up in bed looking around for Cole, then spotted him lighting more candles on her dresser.

"You couldn't wake me up? You had to be all romantic like that?" she asked him as he turned around.

He smiled and walked over to her. "Yes, I did," he told her then kissed her passionately on the lips.

"I've missed you all day," she whispered. "I couldn't wait for night to come."

"Me either Honey," he replied and began kissing her agian, and again, and again.

Sunlight spilled into Phoebe's bedroom early the next morning. Cole scensed the light and opened his eyes. He blinked several times and glanced over at Phoebe's alarm clock, 6:37 AM. He groaned and looked down at Phoebe, who was snuggled up close against him with her head resting on his chest and an arm pulling him closer.

He kissed the top of her head and whispered agianst her hair: "It's morning Honey, I gotta' go."

"I don't want you to go," came her sleepy responce but she let go of him anyway, allowing him to get up.

"Neither do I," her replied.

She opened her eyes and watched him dress, smiling at him and thinking about how much she loved him.

"What?" he asked when he noticed her eyes on him.

"I love you," she replied.

He smiled and walked over to her and sat down on the bed as he pulled on a button up shirt. "Well I love you too."

"I wish we didn't have to sneak around," she said as she sat up. He bent down and picked up her camosoile and handed it to her so she could get dressed as well.

"I'll do whatever I have to do to be with you, even if it means sneaking around," he said and kissed her.

She smiled as he pulled away. "We can't do this forever though. What if we decide we want kids?"

"Are you pregnant?" he asked.

"I'm just saying what if," she replied quickly. Truth is she wasn't sure if she was or not, but she didn't want to get his hopes up if it turned out to be a false alarm.

"Well we'll just have to deal with that when the time comes. Besides, your sisters want what you want-"

"And I want you," she finished.

"Exactly," he nodded. He bent down and kissed her, "I'll see you tonight. I Love you."

"Love you too," she replied and kissed him agian.\

He disappeared in a wave just as her door was opened by her younger sister Paige. "Morning Beauty."

She smiled and nodded. Obviously the raven haired beauty hadn't noticed her brother-in-law's quick departure. "Morning Sunshine. I'll be down in a few."

"Okay," she nodded and closed the door to let Phoebe dress.

* * * * *

Paige jogged down the stairs into the kitchen moments later. She noticed Piper and her husband Leo sitting at the table, Leo reading the newspaper and Piper eating. Piper was still in PJ's and Leo was in his usual slacks and flannel.

"Morning all," Paige greated as she grabbed a bagel and a kife.

"Morning," Leo and Piper replied together. "Did you wake Phoebs?" Piper added.

"She was already up," Paige replied. Piper nodded and went back to her eating as Paige cut a bagel and put it in the toaster.

Twenty minutes later when Paige was just finishing her second half of her bagel, Phoebe walked into the kitchen. She was dressed casually in a white halter top and blue capris with a white flower, hawaiian print. She smiled a silent good morning when she saw her family.

"Wow, looks like someone's in a good mood," Piper observed with a slight suspision.

"I slept really well," Phoebe smiled.

"I shows," Leo replied.

"You didn't hear any strange noises last night?" Piper asked.

"No, none. Why?" Phoebe asked as she sat down and poured herself a cup of coffee.

"We did, moaning. We might have ghosts," Paige replied.

Phoebe went stiff. She knew the moaning wasn't ghosts, it was Cole, but she wasn't about to tell them that. "Ghosts? Should we stay home then?"

"No, I'll call you if I need you guys. You'd better go though, it's getting late," she told them and pointed to the time on the microwave.

"I'll take you Phoebe," Paige offered.

"Thanks. Am I still going with you to your doctors appointment?" she asked Piper as she and Paige stood up.

"Yeah."

"Okay, bye," Phoebe kissed Piper on the forehead, then bent down and kissed her eight month pregnant stomach, for luck. Paige did the same and together they left. "Bye Leo!" they yelled as they left.

"Bye!" He yelled after them, then turned back to Pier who was staring at the door as if she had something on her mind. "Whatcha' thinkin' about?"

"Phoebe," she replied.

"What abuot her?" he asked curiously.

"Nothing, it's just she's been so happy the last couple months... I just wondering what's changed," Piper explained.

"If you ask me, I think she's finally moved on from Cole," Leo shrugged.

"That would be nice. She was doing fine and then he showed up, back form the dead and demon again..." Piper snorted. She hadn't been too fond of Cole eversince he'd become the Source and tried to kill them, several times.

"Piper you know that wasn't Cole, it was the Source," Leo sighed. "I sorta' miss having Cole around anyway. He made Phoebe happier than I've ever seen her in her whole life. Plus I wasn't quiet so out numbered."

Piper cocked and eyebrow at his last statement before voicing her opinion. "True. But she has been very happy lately and that has nothing to do with Cole what-so-ever. Besides, I think I speak for both Paige and I when I say if I ever see him agian I'm gonna' do what Phoebe should've done in the first place. Vanquish his sorry ass."

Bera paced imapciently in one of the many caverns of the underworld as she waited for her minion, Ralika, to return with news of the Charmed Ones. She sighed agngrily, she didn't like to wait for anything.

"My lady, I have returned," a short, green, scaly demon told Bera as he entered the cavern.

"And? Is it true one of them's pregnant?" Bera asked excitedly.

"Aye, it's true. The eldest is pregnant. Seven or eight months prehaps," Ralika replied with a bow of his head.

"Ahhh, good. It's not too late... Were you seen?" she asked him as she continued to pace, this time much less tensed.

"No, my Lady, I posed as a vase of flowers in the middle of their breakfast table. No one suspected," he replied. "There was talk of the past Source. Something about he had taken over one of the sister's fiancee.."

"Yes Bethazar. The witches stripped him of his powers, then when they vanquished the Source before, he took over Bethazar. When they vanquished him his soul went to the wasteland and escaped. He's a demon again so I hear," Bera explained. "What else did they say about him?"

"Nothing. The witch expressed great hatred for him though," he shrugged.

"Which one?"

"The eldest, she certaintly does like her sister's choice in men," Ralika snorted. "Personally I found Bethazar great company. Before he crossed over that is..."

Bera nodded. "Did you read any minds for me?"

"Aye, Bethazar's witch. He came to her last night, though I suspcet it isn't the first time."

"Hummmm," Bera thought. "Bethazar's witch heh? Are the rumors regarding her true?"

"Aye, she's one of the most beautiful humans I've ever seen..."

"Hummm," Bera scratched her head in thought.

"She has suspisions about being with child... She took a test when she woke but it turned up negative. But you know those things, hardley ever acurate."

"Yes, I do," Bera cooed as she sat down in her throne-like chair, in deep thought. "If she is in fact with child, you must find out soon. I could get a two for one deal here."

"Yes my Lady," he bowed. "I won't rest until I know."
