Summary: What if Cole told Phoebe about his being a demon earlier than he did? How would that change the outcome of what happened?

Phoebe

Phoebe walked up the stairs, and knocked on Cole's front door. She didn't know exactly why she was there, standing at his doorstep.

After a second, he opened the door, "Phoebe? What's up?"

"N-nothing. I wanted to see you," she replied.

Cole smiled, "Okay. Come in," he said, stepping aside so she could walk in.

They walked into the living room, and sat down next to each other on a couch.

"So…"

Phoebe sighed, "I have something to tell you."

She was going to tell him about magic. It was a perfect time.

"What is it?" he asked.

"I-it's sort of…hard to say. I…"

"Hey, it's okay," Cole assured her, placing a hand on her thigh.

"Do you believe in magic?"

The half demon shrugged, "Why?"

"Because it's real," she answered.

Cole

Cole sighed, "You're going to hate me," he said, more to himself than to Phoebe.

"What do you mean? I could never hate you."

"Not yet," he said grimly, "I- I already know about magic."

"What do you mean?"

"Phoebe, you changed me. You made me who I am now, Cole Turner, when I used to be…" he hesitated, "Belthazor."

It took a second for her to react as the realization slowly settled. He waited for the explosion. She jumped off the couch, and stepped back towards the door, "What?"

"Phoebe…."

"You're a…demon??"

Cole stood up, and took a small step towards her, "Please…"

"You tried to kill us!"

"Yes, Phoebe I did try. But I didn't actually do it," Cole replied, " At the beginning, you and your sisters were able to stop me. But…as time went on, I got more opportunities. But I couldn't. Because I realized I loved you."

"Like hell you do," Phoebe answered.

"Then let me prove it to you," he said, and backed off a step or two, "Go. Make a potion and vanquish me."

Phoebe didn't move.

"What are you waiting for?" Cole asked, "You know who I am. How to find me. I'm not going anywhere. Go get your potion and vanquish me."

"I…can't," she answered.

"Why can't you? What's stopping you?"

"The fact that I love you, too," she replied, stepping closer.

"You love me?" Cole asked, "But…"

Her lips pressing against his cut him off. He was shocked at first, but slowly fell into pattern.

When they finally pulled away, he said, "Are you sure you want to try this?"

"I'm positive," she whispered, and they kissed again.
