A/N: Hello to my fellow readers and writers! *Waves* I would've had this up last weekend if the site would've worked right. Oh, and I guess I should mention that this story is turning out to be longer than the three-shot as I said in the first chapter.

Warning: No "adult" situations in this chapter. Okay, so maybe the warning isn't really a warning here, but oh well.

And now, sit back, relax, and enjoy the 2nd chapter!

I'll Trust my Heart to You

Chapter 2: Sisterly Advice

A week later…

"I just don't get it." Phoebe told them as Piper brought three cups of coffee out to the dining room table, setting them down. "How can this not be forbidden love? Yours and Leo's was," she said looking at her older sister.

"Well, maybe they see how much has happened to you and just want to make it up to you." Paige answered as Piper sat beside her, sliding her coffee to her.

"This doesn't sound like that though." Piper answered.

"What do you mean?" Paige asked.

"If the Elders wanted to make up for something, I would think they'd do something like they did for my wedding by letting Mom come down. Not that of course, but along those lines…something important, but not as huge." Piper answered.

"I want it to work though and something says it will…" Phoebe answered. Paige gave her a playful glare. "No, Paige, I don't mean that. It's something more, not just physical…"

"Oh, come on Pheebs, I may not know you as well as Piper does, but I do know you pretty well after almost five years and you can't sit here and tell me that part of the reason isn't that." Paige answered.

"Yeah, Paige okay, part of it is that, but—I don't know it's more different than anything I've ever had, as far as relationships go." Phoebe said, setting her coffee back on the table in front of her. "He said we could take things slow, get comfortable with each other."

Piper laughed slightly, "You're probably not used to the idea, Phoebe. The only guy that you've ever taken things slow with was…" she stopped abruptly, realizing her sentence wouldn't help her sister's case at all.

Phoebe looked at them, speaking her next sentence with certainty, "But he's not Cole though. That's why he said he wanted to take things slow, to show me what real love feels like. There's only one thing I wish I had out of that relationship…but—I don't know it sounds stupid to me…well, it does now." Piper, having sat across from her, came around and sat next to her, Paige on Phoebe's opposite side.

"Phoebe, it's not." Piper said taking her hand. "I lost someone too, remember? When we went to the future to stop you from—"

"—getting burned at the stake?" Phoebe asked, so softly that one could've thought it was a secret that only the two knew. Phoebe's eyes still held the pain-filled look from years ago after she (in her future self's body) experienced it. Piper nodded.

"That's why we thought Wyatt was going to be a girl, remember?" she asked.

"Well that, and the fact that we hadn't had a guy born in our family for—oh, what was it—about 200 years." Paige said, causing them to smile remembering the day magic died and was reborn in the same day.

"It still seems like a stupid reason to wish I still had the relationship though." Phoebe confessed. Paige took her other hand.

"Phoebe, if that baby was around, let me tell you now, he wouldn't be evil." Piper said.

"Yeah, we could've taught him to be good. Well, maybe not me…seeing as he tried to kill me a couple times." Paige said.

"Yeah, could you just imagine me teaching him 'no, we don't try to kill or in any way injure our Auntie Paige, understand?'" Phoebe said laughing.

"That would've been quite a sight to see, Pheebs! He could've been one of the only demons who didn't kill witches!" Piper said laughing.

"And I would've been very grateful." Paige told them.

"Yeah, but it still worries me though that we might not be as 'free' as he thinks. You and Leo never had anything easy." Phoebe told them.

"Phoebe, do you love him?" Paige asked as Phoebe leaned back in the hardback chair.

"Why does that matter? Even if I do, things could still happen."

"Just answer the question." Piper said.

"Yes, I do love him, but still…"

"But nothing! Phoebe, just because my relationship with Leo wasn't supposed to work, that doesn't mean yours and Coop's won't. You know, when we were together it was hard not to think about the rules we were breaking, at first, but as time went by, we realized nothing could stop the love we shared. You should know that."

"I think that if he's that certain things are going to work, you should go with it. He knows love, Phoebe, inside and out. He knows you and wants to do everything he can to make you happy." Paige told her. "And this time, it doesn't involve threatening people's lives. You should be happy about that."

Piper laughed a little. "You're not a safe place for him this time, he's a safe place for you and, I think, that's just how it should be."

"Yeah, that's true. I do think what Coop said about my love for him being different than my love for Cole was right. It's almost like—I don't know—a different colored flame, but one that burns brighter and deeper than Cole's ever did. I know, I know…I shouldn't be comparing them, but I can't help it. In looks, they're so alike." Phoebe said.

"Yeah, that's true. But Cole's gone now and you don't have to worry about him anymore." Paige stated.

"He would want you to be happy too, Phoebe, even if it wasn't with him. He tried to make you see that as best he could. After you signed the divorce papers, he was still there saying he wouldn't give up, but as time went on and he realized you didn't want anything to do with him, he still tried to help you find someone." Piper said as she took a long drink and set the half-empty mug in front of her on the table again.

"Maybe I should just see where things go." Phoebe said nodding and she drained the last remnants of her drink.

A/N: So how was that? I know some of you may have expected a lot differently, but hey, I have to build up to some things, don't I?

Please read and review, guys! I really want to know what you think! Plus, I love my reviews (and reviewers)! *Winks*

Next chapter: Chapter 3: Prove my Love

Until the next chapter update, I hope everyone has a good day or night and I'll "see you" later!
