Pheobe woke up in her bed alone. She looked around the room in confusion that Cole wasn't there. She bunched up the covers and put her head down as if to snuggle them. Paige knocked the door and walked in.

"Cole's making breakfast, if your hungry" She smiled over at Pheobe who looked increasingly worried.

"What's wrong honey?" Paige queried.

Pheobe shook her head and walked over to Paige looking quite sleepy, she put her arm round her waist and they went downstairs where they seen Piper in the dining room setting up with cutlery and syrup and in the kitchen, Cole flipping pancakes. His smile beamed as his eyes met Pheobe's. At that moment all her worries were gone.

Cole, unfortunately was battling demons in his mind. He wanted so much to tell Pheobe the truth but thought her reaction would send him back to purgatory where their relationship was concerned. What would she do?

On one hand, Cole thought of telling Pheobe as a good thing. He would tell her, she would alter her power stripping potion and the demon of fear would be gone forever. He would tell her and she would save him. They would grow stronger as a couple, and connect in a way they've only been able to briefly before. Cole was only human for a short period of time and then there was no worries. They were so in love. That could happen again, if Pheobe gave him the chance.

On the other hand, she could reject him. He could tell her and she would break down. She'd be distraught that all this is happening again and that he's evil again. She would never be able to continue what they are trying to build again if she thought she was in any way evil. Cole was terrified at this thought. It paralysed him and made it almost impossible for him to even think of telling Pheobe.

She was walking over to him, he analysed her every movement. The way her hips moved as she walked, her holding her arms out to hold his hands. He seen the way every strand of hair moved as she approached him and the air went through her hair. Even the way she blinked with those big loving eyes, and her beautiful smile. He couldn't get enough of just looking at her, and finally being with her.

She kissed him and he looked into her eyes she smiled at him and he looked at her worryingly then looked down. She walked off into the dining room with a plate full of pancakes to give to the family. Paige fussed around trying to find her car keys in her bag.

"I've gotta go. I'm going to go try and find Ryan." Paige informed her family with a concerned look on her face

"Just to make sure he's okay."

She smiled at them, stole a pancake from the plate and rushed off out the door of the manor. Piper and Leo sat together and smiled at each other as Wyatt fed himself like a big boy. They were so happy with their little family.

Cole walked in and smiled at Pheobe but walked past the table they were eating at and headed upstairs. Pheobe followed him and stood at the bottom of the stairs looking at him, quite obvious she had about a million questions for him.

"Cole, where are you going? Are you not coming to eat with us?"

Cole looked at his feet then looked back at Pheobe. He didn't want to lie to her.

"No, I just thought i'd make it a surprise for you and everyone for welcoming me back into your home" He smiled at Pheobe a reassuring smile and she walked off to finish her breakfast.

Meanwhile, unknowing to the others, Cole went up to the attic.

"I'm good, damn it. This isn't my power." He whispered to himself, staring out the Book of Shadows as if it was his enemy.

He had that determined type of stare on as he edged his way across the floorboards in the attic towards the book. He knew the book protected itself from evil, so he approached with caution. He didn't feel evil inside. He felt just like the normal man he wished he could be. Somewhere deep down he could hear that little voice, that evil voice. He prayed that wouldn't grow stronger. He circled round the book almost like he was scared he was going too close. He reached out to it edging his hand closer and closer. Every inch he moved built more suspense up in his mind until he finally got there and went to touch the pages.

All of a sudden he was flung across the room and as he struggled to his feet his eyes started to well. How could this be happening to him again? After all he risked to come back. At that moment he knew what he was going to do.
