Here's the next chapter. I'm glad everyone seems to like this story.
Chapter 3-A Happy Reunion
Pheobe walked into the living room and thought that she just having another dream, like the ones she had been having for the past 2 years-of her perfect family.
Cole was sitting on the couch, Benjamin on his knee, a smile plastured on the boy's small face. Cole was bouncing the baby and making funny noises.
Pheobe smiled as she saw it and slowly it hit her that it was really happening. He was really here with their son.
It was then that she took in Cole's beaten body and dirty face and clothes. He still had that sparkle in his eyes, though. The one that told her everything would be all right.
Cole saw her and stood up, putting Benjamin down.
"Pheobe, I can explain why..." he started.
"Don't," she cut him off and ran towards him, throwing her arms around him, and pulling him into a passionate kiss.
She didn't feel guilty for loving him anymore. She had no sisters telling her that he was evil and that she should stay away from him, no voice in the back of her head warning her of his next betrayal. She only heard her heart screaming at her to love him, to hold on to him and never let go. He was the love of her life, her soul-mate, and the father of her son. She would make it work this time and no one would break them apart.
"Cole, I can't believe this. How?" she said after they parted, tears of joy running down her cheeks.
"My mother," Cole said, happy that she still loved him.
Pheobe stood there for a moment before realizing who he meant.
"Elizabeth is your mother, Ben's grandmother," Pheobe finally said.
Elizabeth walked into the room.
"Why didn't you tell me?" Pheobe asked her mother-in-law.
"I didn't know how you would react. I needed to wait until I had successfully saved my son, but I also wanted to be a part of my grandson's life, which is why I offered to be his nanny. I hope that you forgive my lies, but it was best for everyone," Elizabeth explained.
"I'm not too happy that you lied to me. It would have nice to know that my son was being left at home with his grandmother. I would have felt more at ease. I'm so thankful to you, though. You brought back the love of my life and finished the family that I have been longing for," Pheobe told her, hugging Cole.
She would explain everything that had happened tomorrow. Tonight she would just enjoy his return.
It was complete fluff, I know, but I was tired of making obstacles when he comes home. I'll wait and do the obstacles. Please tell me what you think. Please review.
