Just Hold On.

The next week went annoyingly slow for both Phoebe and Cole. Every time Cole wanted to talk to Phoebe she would ignore him, leave the room. She wouldn't take no phone calls from him at work she was quite content at the moment at just being mad with him but at the same time she was annoyed with herself because she was being immature about it. They really needed to talk she was just afraid of what he might say or what could happen. She was finding it hard to focus on her work which added to her annoyance.

Jessica her personal assistant walked into her office, she looked up maybe he called again. "Elise wanted to know when you're going to attend the staff meeting" Phoebe dropped her head. That was the least of her worries she had been dodging them for a while now making up excuses of being sick etc she just couldn't be bothered it's not like they said anything she didn't already know just another excuse to keep her contained. She often felt like work was like high school minus the teachers well Elise might as well of been one kind of reminded her why she went to New York. "Erm whenever the next one is" Jessica smiled then left her room. Phoebe looked at the phone then picked it up dialled and waited.

"Hello Cole Turner's Secretary speaking" the woman sounded professional, Cole had a tendency to change his secretaries a little bit more than frequent.

"Hi can I speak to Mr Turner" Phoebe replied, there was a pause

"He's in a meeting can I take a message" the woman answered politely, Pheobe debated whether she should or not then decided just to make herself known instead.

"No just tell him his WIFE called" she tactfully stressed wife another pause

"Oh ok" she said quickly then the phone went dead. Rude is all Phoebe thought she felt like calling back but she decided against she looked down at the work that she hadn't touched for the last half an hour.

Cole was board out of his head and his neck was slowly locking up; he walked slowly through his floor until he reached his office. His new secretary signalled him to her. She could have passed for a model. Seeing as he had numerous phone calls put through to phoebe and she didn't answer he wasn't really bothered about anything else business wise today.

"Yes" he said to, she smiled at him before answering

"Your wife called" she made sure to say wife in a different tone

"What did she say" he asked, why did Phoebe call him

"Nothing she was just wanted to talk to you I guess" she said quite matter of fact tone Cole raised his eyebrows

"Ok" he simply said she looked at him
"ok is that it" she asked expecting more

"What else" he asked her, she rolled her eyes at him before standing up,

"It's called calling back" she finally said, he just yawned in front of her, she let out an annoyed sigh

"I'll call back" he said he flashed a smile, he already knew that she wasn't just a normal secretary
"Good demon" she replied before walking past him

He wondered how they had placed him with her. More than anything he wanted to know why she was here if this was the sources idea of spying on him then he really needed to change his methods.

He sat down in his office then had a better idea of resolving this issue than a phone call. He called for his new addition; she appeared in the door way with an evil smile.

"Can you make me a personal dinner arrangement?"

"Oh you don't have to take me out" she answered flirtatiously

"And your comedian" Cole replied, she laughed and exited his office.

………………………………………………………………………………………

Phoebe spun round in her chair when Elise entered her office

"Can I help" phoebe Asked, the woman frowned

"You have a dinner date at 7" Phoebe raised an eyebrow at her if this was another promotional dinner she wasn't going, plus why was Elise delivering her messages

"With" Phoebe pressed on, Elise now smirked at her

"You're oh so delightful husband" she said sarcastically, Elise didn't like Cole; Cole didn't like Elise plain and simple. Finally she thought, it took him long enough now why he wouldn't just call her like normal husbands and sort it out, he had to romance her into getting his own way. A small smile formed in the corner of her mouth

"You better be in a working mood after this" she warned, her warning were empty and didn't scare Phoebe everything Elise said after was tuned out.

Phoebe looked at the restaurant that she had been dropped to; it was hosting its opening tonight. Expensive taste is one thing Cole definitely had. She was directed to an empty table, so he couldn't even be here first she thought as she sat down. Where was he? Phoebe turned her head and took in the scenery of the restaurant it was flowing with people. She suddenly felt a un easy feeling she turned and saw a women sitting in the seat provided for Cole, the woman stared then smiled polity but Phoebe could tell it was forced she didn't smile back , she felt to be an uptight corporate wife.

"Who are you" she asked the strange woman, she possessed model features but looked like a problem that phoebe didn't want to solve right now.

"Your Husbands secretary we spoke on the phone... Remember" her voice hosted no sign of friendliness

"Oh yeah you dropped the phone on me" Phoebe replied and glanced over her shoulder where was he.

"He's running a bit late something came up at the office, you know how these things are" she then said, Phoebe looked at and wondered if there was a subliminal message.

Both women just looked at each other before, she smiled at something

"Hey Cole I was just keeping you lovely wife company while you got your act together" her attitude changed from cold to bubbly. What kind of person did Cole employ?

Cole looked at her funny, Phoebe actually felt to laugh, she then forgot her smile and walked passed he saying something that only he could hear, that made him look at in the strangest way. Phoebe didn't want to think anything of it so she discarded it.

"Sorry I'm late"

"You got held up I was informed" she finished for him; he still held the funny look he had given his secretary.

"Yeah something like that" he finished he then shook his head shaking whatever it was he had been thinking away.
"How's your week been" he continued

"Great" she lied and he looked at her

"Sure it has, why did you call me" she rolled her eyes at him

"Why do you think, that and called me first, so why did you call me" she flipped it back on him, he sat comfortably in his chair.

"Well I called because I wanted to talk about the whole baby thing and you called because you wanted to talk about the whole baby thing" he said smugly

"You think you're so clever, Cole doesn't piss me off" she warned him, he just smiled

"Lets talks then seeing as that's why were here" she told him

"I didn't mean what I said, but I still don think it's a good idea "

"Why, don't you want a child with me" she asked him innocently

"That's not the point…." he avoided her question, this aggravated phoebe he was addressing her like one of his colleagues

"Stop" she cut him off before he could illustrate his point.

"What" he looked confused

"Do not talk to me like I was one of your colleagues Cole, I'm not talking about investing in a baby if you didn't know I was talking about making one." She said angrily and got up to leave. How dare he, she left the restaurant and waited for the car to come round.

"Phoebe wait, I'm sorry" he called out after her; he came up behind her she cursed for having such a weakness for him when he was close to her.

"Don't touch me" she told him icily

"Ok... I'm sorry please can we talk" he said quietly so she could only hear, her arms were folded across her chest. He still stood behind her.

"Phoebe comes on, we don't even have to stay here, and we can go for a walk or something." He pleaded with her. She turned her head and looked at him

"Fine no more business talk" she said to him, he held his both hands up

"None" he smiled warmly at her she didn't want to him to see her smile so she turned and walked down the opposite street.

Cole walked on after her; at least she didn't leave which meant she couldn't have been that mad about it. He walked behind her before he came to her side, he decided to close the gap between them, and the night wasn't ending without this situation cleared between them. Cole slipped his arm into hers and linked them. She then offered him a smile.

"So what were you saying" he asked her,

"Nothing you was about to list all the factors of why not to have a baby" she replied, he looked forward.

"I wasn't" he then defended himself

"Then what was you going to say" she stopped and looked at him, her brown eyes searched his then she looked away and continued their walking.

"It's not the right time to have a baby" Cole then said after a silence.

"Why" she asked confused.

"Because you and your sisters still have demons and source on your backs it wouldn't be safe to have a child right now."

"Yeah but we can avoid it I wouldn't put our baby in danger" she said

"I know that , but say when you fighting something happens and you lose it , I wouldn't want that to happen , I'm just saying we should wait until things are calmed down, having a child specially a magical one is going to cause a problem on both sides of magic."

She stopped at the end of the road and turned fully at him only the street lights were on.

"Cole what if things don't calm down and the source keeps attacking us, and good & evil are never going to agree with us. There's never going to be a good time. And what if something happens and I lose you..." she said sadly, Cole pulled her into him and she wrapped her arms around his neck
"Nothing is going to happen to me, I know there never going to be ok with it , I just wanna wait I want everything to be perfect he told her." she looked up at him her sad expression melted away into a smile.

"Not too long" she asked him, he smiled and shook his head no

"No, jus a little while, I know better than to keep you waiting" he replied smoothly, she pulled his head down into hers and kissed him passionately.

"Love you baby" she told him lovingly, Cole smiled specially for her.

"Love you too"

In the darkness something lurked around watching the couple embrace lovingly , it watched intently before the couple moved into a darker area and the moment it blinked they was gone. It looked around the streets they were no where to be seen.

"Don't worry it wont be long now" it said evilly
