~Part Fourteen~
"You're home!" cried Piper and Prue as they ran into the living room. Leo, Phoebe, and Cole had just appeared. Cole had shimmered, Leo had orbed, and Phoebe had done something in-between, they couldn't quite tell. It was obvious that she had been holding both Leo and Cole's hands, but she had dropped Leo's, and Cole had put both arms around Phoebe.
"What are you doing here?" cried Prue. "I told you to never come back here! Get out."
Cole looked wounded, "Leo, you mean they don't know?"
"Guess not. I haven't exactly told them on either of my visits."
"You visited?" cried Prue, "now why won't anybody tell me these things! Now what is he doing here? I won't put up with a demon in my house." She saw a glimmer on Phoebe's finger. "What's that?"
Leo started talking first. "Cole's not a demon anymore, Prue. He's a Mortal-Witch, which means he's a mortal, but the council wasn't able to get all of his demonic powers out of him. He can shimmer, but he doesn't do anything that might hurt somebody."
Phoebe answered the next question. "Now that," she started, "is my engagement ring."
"You're ENGAGED?" Prue screamed. "To a DEMON? Who tried to KILL us on numerous occasions?"
"Yes I am." Phoebe put in. "Look Prue, I know you don't like to change your ways, but Cole isn't demonic anymore. He's here to help us, and I love him. Give him a chance. For me, ok?"
"Fine."
The group broke up. Phoebe and Cole headed up towards her bedroom. Prue walked around muttering to herself. It isn't fair. Prue thought. I am the eldest. I am supposed to be married first. Phoebe is marrying a demon. This can't be good. She remembered her promise to Phoebe. I know that I'm supposed to give Cole a second chance, but once a demon, always a demon right?

"Why were you crying?" Cole asked, as soon as they made it to Phoebe's bedroom.
"My dream." Phoebe told him.
"Care to elaborate?" Cole said, an edge of sarcasm in his voice.
"Just the future. I dreamed that we were going to get married happily. We have four wonderful children. Then one day, a warlock killed the eldest, the same warlock kidnapped the two youngest, and the middle is upset. I don't want any children we might have to grow up like that!"
"Then we'll make sure it never happens. Phoebe, I love you, and I'm going to protect us, and any kids we might have. You have my word on that." Cole looked Phoebe straight in the eyes. "Isn't that enough? You've said it yourself. The future is always in motion. You might think that this dream is going to come true, but it might not. For now, you just need to be careful, tell me if something bothers you, and don't let something that you don't even think is true bother you."
"Thank you. I love you, Cole."

In another room, Leo and Piper were having a discussion.
"Leo, you've got to tell me when you're leaving! I was worried! And you missed your wedding!"
"I didn't have a choice over this. I had to be in the island with Cole and Phoebe. Anyway, They told me I couldn't come back! But I've got an idea."
"What. I'm listening." Piper said to Leo.
"A double wedding. Both Phoebe and Cole have grown and matured from being on the island. I think that we should celebrate both of our weddings. It would be really fun."
"What about Prue?" Piper asked.
"She'll get over it. It's isn't our fault that she manages to push away every decent guy who comes to see her."
"She didn't push away Andy."
"Yeah, but Andy was different. He forced himself to stick by her. None of the others ones have."
"I see your point." Piper thought for a few minutes. "A double wedding would be fun…" she trailed off. "I'll ask her about it later."
~Hey, I REALLY need some imput. I can't really figure out where to bring this anymore! HELP!!!~
