Part 8 Of
Better Safe Then Sorry
Piper sat next to Phoebe, watching the soft movements that her sister made while she ate her breakfast. She had so many questions to ask her but felt it better to keep quiet making sure that she didn't upset her baby sister. Cole had warned everyone that she might run off again if she felt like she wasn't wanted or felt the blame of something. She was really insecure at that time.
"So, Phoebe... You like the eggs?"
"I'm not insane. I'm not a child. And I certainly am not waiting for another chance to run off. All I needed to do was forgive myself for what happened to Prue. Face it, Piper... It's my fault that she died. If I had been here... But Leslie told me that it wasn't my fault. That everything happens for a reason and if she didn't die during that battle, then it would of been soon because it was her time. I think that we should let her stay here until she can get back on to her feet. She helped me, after all. She could stay in my room and I could sleep on the couch and Cole could take the cot. Or we could sleep on the bed that she has now..... Do you think that she could stay here?"
Piper smiled at the warm nature of her sister. "I think that it would be ok if Cole doesn't mind. But seeing as how they are inseperable, I think that I should start making up the cot." Piper smiled at her sister and then got up and to start her day. "I have to go to P3. I'll see you later?"
"Of course, Piper." Phoebe smiled at her older sister, thinking of what she would say to Cole about his sister staying. She set out to find him immediatly. It didn't take long to locate him. He was talking to his sister, again, in the living room. She heards something about staying there for a while and smiled at the similarity. "Hey, you two.", she greeted. Cole turned around and smiled at her.
"Hey, hunny. Good to see you up and about. Come join us." He scooted closer to his sister on the pull out bed that they had set up. "What brings you here?" Phoebe sat next to him and leaned against him. He wrapped his arms around her and couldn't help but add, "I love when you do that."
"I love when you love me.... So, Leslie, how long you plan on staying?"
"Not long, I swear."
"Don't worry about it. I was going to ask if you would like to stay in my room. Cole and I could sleep on this bed couch thingy..... It wouldn't be any trouble. If you want you can borrow some cloths. I mean... whatever you want. You're a part of the family, or at least you will be."
Cole looked at her in shock. "What?"
"Hunny, just smile and nod. Girl talk."
"No, us talk."
"Fine. If you must know, one day I am going to marry you. I just don't know when. So, Leslie. What do you think? About staying, I mean."
She dropped her jaw, a little surprised and couldn't seem to speak. "Are you serious? I mean, you sure you don't mind? I can always go somewhere else."
"If somewhere else is the streets of San Fransico, then no. You can stay right here. But of course, just if you want to."
Leslie smiled. "I would love that."
Cole looked at his sweetheart in disbelief. Of course, he was absolutly happy that she was liking his sister, but he couldn't help but think that something was wrong.
"Phoebe? Can you please come with me......" He stood up and began walking out of the room.
