Summary: Leo is dead and Piper goes through a hard time even after six months. She needs to move on but she's not quite sure if she can. Maybe a man can help her.

A/N: I personally am a fan of Piper&Leo but this one is a PIPER – COLE story. If you don't like it don't read it. No magic included.

!-!-!-! 1,5 year later !-!-!-!

----- Piper's POV -----

"Come on, Leo!" I say and I look in his gorgeous green/blue sparkling eyes "We need to get you ready" I say to him and he giggles at me. I smile and take him in my arms from his crib. I see Melinda come in running "Is Leo up?" she asks me "I wanna play wiv 'im" she says in impatience "Sweety, your brother is not a toy" I say giggling at her "Besides, we have to go see visit grandpa today" I tell her "Are you not coming?" I ask her but I know she wanna come. She loves dad a lot "Course I comin'" she says and runs to her room to get changed "Cole!" I shout my husband's name and half minute later he's at the bedroom door "You called, beautiful?" he asks me and walks in, closer to me and kisses my cheek "Hey, little guy" he says to our son, Leo! I am happy that he agreed to name him Leo "Yeh, I did" I reply smiling "Can you help Melinda get changed?" I ask him "Sure" he replies and walks out of our bedroom

----- Cole's POV -----

I sit on the couch in the living room and stare at the wedding picture I am holding. A smile on my face remembering the day. I hear Piper's voice calling me and I get up, put the picture back to its place and go upstairs. I stand at the bedroom door and I see Piper holding Leo, our son. I know how much she loved Leo that's why I agreed to give his name to our son. I cwouldn't take that fro her. "You called, beautiful?" I ask and walk in, closer to my lovely wife and son. I kiss her cheek and greet Leo "Hey, little guy". She tells me that she wants me to help Melinda get changed "Sure" I reply and leave the bedroom going to Melinda's. I knock on her door and walk in "Hey Mellie" I say to her and she looks at me "Hi daddy" he says to me. I still feel weird when she calls me 'daddy' even though she knows I am not her dad but I love her like I was "Wanna help you get ready?" I ask her and she nods her head with a smile "Yeshy" she says and I smile back at her.

----- Piper's POV -----

Coming back from dad's I am happy but I won't admit it. We 're like one happy family. Me, Cole and the kids. Even if Melinda is not Cole's daughter I know he loves her like she was and she love him like a dad. I 've talked to her about Leo and him being her real dad and I know she understands that even though she's just 3 years old. I watch her sleeping in her bed and smile to myself. I hear the door opening and look towards it. "Piper, come on, it's late" I hear Cole saying. I glance at my watch.. It's late, indeed. When I am with my kids I lose track of time, even if I just look at them. I stand up and place a kiss on Melinda's forehead "Sweet dreams" I whisper in her ear and walk to Cole. We walk together to our bedroom when Leo sleeps and I sit at my side of the bed and Cole at the other. I don't feel sleepy.. I wanna talk. Cole asks me if I wanna talk like he was reading my mind..

----- Cole's POV -----

I am in the living room, watching tv till Piper gets the kids to sleep. I leave her some extra time with them cause I know how much she loves her kids. I look at the clock and it's late and I am wondering if everything is okay. I decide to go check on her. I go into our bedroom but she's not there so I guess she's in Melinda's bedroom. I open the door and I see her sitting there in the dark watching her daughter sleeping "Piper" I catch her attention "come on, it's late" I tell her. She stands up and kisses Melinda's forehead and whispers something in her ear. Then she walks towards me. We walk together to our bedroom without talking. I sit down at my sideof bed as she sits down on hers. I look at her.. I know her too well and I know she wanna talk "Are you happy?" I ask her "Yeh.." she says reluctantly "You don't seem so sure" I tell her "I am.." she says "..but?" I ask her "..but when I am happy, always something happens and ruin everything" she said looking down "I won't let anything to ruin your happiness, Piper! I promise" I tell her but she not looking at me. I put my finger under her chin and lift her head so she looks at me "I promise" I tell her again

----- Piper's POV -----

"Are you happy?" I hear Cole asking me. I am but I am afraid to admit it cause the natural order of the universe is ruining my life when I am happy "Yeh.." I say reluctantly and he tells me that I don't sound so sure.. Well, can he balme me? I lose what I love the most when I admit I am happy and I don't wanna lose them.. Any of them – they 're my family and they mean the world to me! "I am.." I say and he knows there's a 'but' "..but?" he asks me "..but when I am happy, always something happens and ruins everything" I say and look down. I may sounds silly but that's what happens.. He puts his finger under my chin and lift my head so I look at him and he promises me that he will let nothing to ruin my happiness.

----- Author's POV -----

Cole promised Piper that he wouldn't let anything ruin her happiness. That was all Piper needed to hear and all Cole needed to say! They hugged and they fell asleep in each other's arms that was where they really belonged to..
