Epilogue
Cole carefully put Ben on the slide and crawled up behind him. "Being a father is one though job" he thought while he almost got stuck on the top of the slide. But, as always, Cole and Ben made it down in one piece.
"Again!" Ben said and giggled as he hung onto his father's neck. Cole just smiled, today was Father's Day - his second to be exact - and he wouldn't wanna spent it any other way.
Cole looked into Ben's blue eyes, as he held him high up into the air, having this one squeaking in delight.
"Dada, catch Ben." Ben said and Cole thought for a minute that Ben would try and shimmer again, but he didn't. Ben had become pretty good at the shimmering, but never tried it outside his home. It was almost like he knew that he wasn't supposed to shimmer anywhere else, but at home it was another story. Ben loved to shimmer to wherever his Dad was and before Cole could see his son, he could hear him calling "catch me" and sure enough, Ben landed in his father's arms.
Cole was still smiling at Ben as they made their way to the picnic blanket, where Cole saw his wife waiting for them. He smiled at her and could see the love in her eyes.
Cole never thought he could be so happy, or so much in love. Actually, he never believed that he could love again, not after Phoebe, after he found out what she had done to him. Yes, he understood, but he never agreed or accepted her lies. Lying to him about his son, trying to make everybody believe that Cupid was the father. Cole had avoided Phoebe for a while, after that day one year ago, but forgave her eventually. "But that was then and this is now." He thought as he reached the blanket and said down next to his wife, letting Ben crawl around.
"Happy Father's day." His wife said and handed him a small gift. "Oh, hon, thanks." Cole said smiling as he unwrapped it, only to find a picture of some internal body organ. Cole gave his wife a doubtful look and opened the card that came with the picture.
"Dear Daddy," it said in his wife's handwriting "surprise! I'm your little baby girl living in Mommy's tummy for now. Mom wanted to tell you about me earlier, but thought that this would be perfect. I can't wait to meet you guys. I love you, your daughter."
Cole felt his wife's eyes on him while he read the card. He carefully put the picture of his daughter down (yes, he figured out that it was a picture of the ultrasound) and kissed his wife.
"I love you so much, Mrs. Turner."
"Good, cause I love you too, Mr. Turner." She replied and Cole knew that it didn't get better than this, as he watched his Phoebe bent down to give Ben a kiss, who was lying in between them.
Cole loved Phoebe so much and was so glad that they had worked things out and got back together. This was how it was supposed to be, for she truly was his soul mate.
Ben, who was watching his parents kiss, kept saying "love you, love you" to them and wondered why his Dad was kissing his Mother's tummy. Ben decided right then and there that even so he was only a baby and didn't really know that much, he knew that his Dad, his Mom, his Mom's tummy and he were one happy family.
The End
I hope you didn't think I would let Cole marry anyone else but Phoebe, cause this is MY story and I like them together. Anyway, I'm not real happy with the ending, but after re writing it for the fourth time, I give up... I hope it isn't too bad.
As always, I want to thank everybody for the wonderful reviews that I read over and over again. Nothing I love better than reviews... And a special thanks to my wonderful friend Lilian, who is such a big help with ideas and keeps me going. And of course my best friend Becca, without her I would never write this much or enjoy it so much.
You guys are all wonderful and isn't it true? Charmed fans really do stick together... Keep on shimmering. Sonja
