A/N: I don't own charmed. Sorry for the really long update wait.
" So, how was Dad's place?" Phoebe asked, as we sat in the living room of my house. I had Brianna against my chest with a blanket covering her, as I fed her.
" Good," I said. " You'll never guess who his partner is."
" Who?"
" Adam," I told her.
Her eyes got wider, and she gasped. " Oh my god," she said. " Of all the people! What happened?"
" Nothing really," I shrugged. " It was a little awkward, but I don't care. I'm married to a wonderful man, who I have a beautiful daughter with."
" That's right." Phoebe grinned. " What did Dad say?"
" He apologized left and right." I said, "But I just told him it didn't matter. Leo felt bad, too. Didn't get upset like I thought maybe he would."
" He's great, that husband of yours."
I nodded. He was, and I wouldn't give him or our daughter up for anything in the world.
Phoebe looked at her watch.
" Geez, its 2:45 already." she said. " I have to go get home so I can get Andrea from school."
"Be careful." I said, adjusting Brianna more comfortably against me.
" Okay." Phoebe said.

Phoebe's p.o.v
" Can Maria come over tonight?" Andrea asked, while I drove her home. " Since its Friday?"
" I don't see why not." I said, keeping my eyes on the road. " She can come over at seven. We'll rent movies from Hollywood Video before she comes over."
Good. Andrea was going to have her friend over, and I wouldn't have to worry about facing Cole. At least not tonight. If he called me, my excuse would be Andrea had a friend over. God, how bad do I sound using my niece for my own person gain? I'm just not ready to face Cole again, with all these thoughts in my head. The thoughts that we broke up for a bad reason.
" Sounds good," Andrea said.
We came up to the house, and I pulled into the driveway. We got out of the car, and went into the house.
"So, have you talked to Cole since he was here?" Andrea asked, as I closed the front door, and locked it.
" No, I haven't." I said. " I don't know how I'm feeling about this yet."
" Well, put it this way." Andrea said. " Since he's come back into your life, how much have you thought about him?"
" I am just getting out of a bad relationship." I reminded her. Of course I was going to think of Cole, and how great he was for me, in comparison to Vin. How great he was for me back then.
Andrea shook her head, and rolled her eyes. "Answer the question." she pursued.
" A lot." I confessed. There was no denying it with her. " Seeing him again after Vin made me question why we broke up."
" Okay, we're giving him a call, and he's coming over." Andrea said. " So you can work all of this out. Tonight."
" But you're having Maria over." I reminded her.
" Not anymore." Andrea said. " Now go call him."
" I don't have his number." I lied.
" My ass." she smirked.
I frowned at her choice of words, but shook it off.
" Alright, I have it in my address book." I admitted. " But I'd really rather not do this tonight."
" Well, you are." Andrea smirked. " And if you don't call him, I will."
" You wouldn't."
" Oh, I would." she said. " Look, I just want you to be happy. I know you miss Cole, and want to get back together with him. Especially after all of this with Vin."
" And I understand that." I said. " But I'm just not ready to do this."
" Okay." she sighed, putting up her hands, and sitting down on the couch. " I get it. You don't have to call him today."
" Thanks for understanding." I said, sitting down next to her, sitting back.
A grin spread across her lips, as she jumped off the couch, and ran towards the hallway that led to our bedrooms.
"You…" I laughed. " You're more like your mother than any of us realized."
This was definitely something Prue would've done.
I followed after her, and got to my bedroom to see her looking through my address book, with a phone in her hand.
" Don't call him." I still didn't want to do this; my mind hadn't changed.
" I wasn't kidding, Aunt Phoebe." she said, still looking through the book. " Turner…Turner. How many Turners do you know?"
" Quite a…" I started to say, but caught myself. " Put the book down."
" Nope." she shook her head. " Ah, here we go. Cole Turner."
She turned the phone on, and started punching numbers into the phone based on the numbers she saw in the book.
" Turn the phone down, and turn it off." I demanded. " And…I'll get you ice cream."
" Ha!" she cackled. " What am I five?"
" I wish you were, and you wouldn't even know how to use a phone."
She put the phone to her ear. " Its ringing." she informed me.
" Turn it off." I said, walking closer to her.
She shook her head.
I walked even closer to her, and tried to get the phone out of her hands. She had a death grip on it, both her hands attached to it.
" Fine. You leave me no choice." I said, and tackled her to my bed. Man did she have a good grip on that phone, because I still couldn't get it out of her hand, or even away from her ear.
" Hello?" said, " This is Andrea Trudeau."
There was a silence, and I gave up. There was nothing I could do now.
"Yes, Phoebe's niece. How are you?" she nodded, and then spoke again. " I've been really good. Thanks for asking. Anyway, I was just wondering if you could maybe stop by tonight. You know so we could maybe catch up. My Aunt Phoebe's been meaning to call you, but she never got to it, so I figured I'd call."
I shook my head.
" Seven's perfect." she said. " Okay, see you then."
She turned off the phone, and grinned at me.
" He's coming at seven tonight." she said.
" Yeah, I heard." I said.
"He said he'd love to see us." she told me. " Your welcome."
" I didn't say thanks." I said.
" Yeah, but you'll be thanking me tonight, when you get back together with him." she smirked, and walked out of the room, after putting the phone back in its cradle.
I sighed. I had a master mind niece, but she wasn't a kid with a bad agenda. For all I knew, tonight could go over great, and I could go to bed really happy tonight.
A/N: please review. Hope everyone enjoyed this chapter. Thanks for reading! I'll update a.s.a.p.
