Notes: This is my first Charmed fic... And also, it's a UC pairing. Please give me feedback!
I slide out of the bed we share, and pull on my robe. I walk out into the hallway, heading for the stairs. I do make it down in one piece, and go to the kitchen. Flipping on the light, I grab a mug from the cabinet and fill it with water. I turn off the light and go into the living room, taking a seat on the couch.
It never snows here, but I see lots of white stuff on the ground, in the air... Anywhere you can imagine. Has she been at it again? I really don't mind, but... It looks amazing out there. I know it'll be freezing, but still I stand up and walk over to the door. Grabbing my coat, I put it on and walk out, taking in a deep breath.
There's always something about the scent of snow. It's so clean, so pure. So... Refreshing. With what we do, it's nice to see something pure in this world. When I see snow, I always think of being a child. You know, the naïveté, the innocence, the bliss. When I walk back inside, I hang up my coat, and see my husband standing at the stairs.
"Hey... It's snowing?" he asked, taking my hand.
"Yeah, it's snowing. I think she had something to do with it," I said, wrapping my arms around his neck. When he put his arms around me, I relaxed.
"I'm not going to leave you, even though you think I am. There's always something in the back of your mind, isn't there?" he asked, running my back.
"Yes, but I'm just so..."
"I know. So am I. C'mon, you're freezing and you need to sleep. It's not healthy to be up all night," he said, pulling away and leading me up the stairs.
"You're lecturing me on healthy? Who ate a bag of cookies tonight?" I asked, playfully elbowing him.
"Wasn't me, darling," he said, feigning innocence... Or was it ignorance? When we got to our bedroom, I slipped off my robe and slid into bed.
"It wasn't supposed to be this way," I said, laying my head on his shoulder.
"I know. I didn't want it to be this way, either," he said.
"But you're happy, right?"
"Of course I am... I didn't want to watch her die, falling from the stairs. I didn't want to see him... Whatever it is that happened to him," he said, kissing the top of my head. "But this is right. We're right."
"You're sure?"
"Positive. Now go to sleep," he said.
"Okay... Wake me up in the morning-"
"At seven. I know," he said, laughing.
"I love you, Cole," I said, snuggling deeper under the covers.
"I love you too, Piper," he said, closing his eyes.
