Disclaimer: I don't own Charmed. Hope y'all like chapter 2.
It's been 8 months since Cole died. Phoebe was still a witch. She and her sisters turned down the angels' offer. Phoebe just couldn't give up her powers. She needed them because somehow they reminded her of Cole. He was one of the people who helped her powers get more stronger. She wanted to here her hearts desire again. She went upstairs to the attic. Piper followed her. "Uh Phoebe? What are you doing?" she asked. "I'm going to cast a spell to hear my hearts desire to see if Cole ever comes back to me." she replied. "Phoebe you can't just decide it like that. That's personal gain." she said. " Maybe you should continue your morning sickness." she replied. "My pregnancy has nothing to do with personal gain." she said. They got up to the attic. "Piper just let me say this one spell. I need to know this." she replied. Piper stood by Phoebe. Phoebe let up a candle. And wrote on a piece of paper "Will Cole come back to me?" Phoebe then said the heart desires spell.
"My love is strong,
My spirit weak,
It is an answer that I seek,
A question burns within this fire,
So I may hear my heart's desire."
Phoebe drops the paper into the bowel. A small explosion came. After the smoke clears and Phoebe and Piper could see again. They saw nothing in front of them. It was just the same attic. With no special people or anything. "See I told you. Personal Gain." Piper said. "Don't remind me." Phoebe replied. Phoebe runs over to her room. She then gets another flashback once she spots her laptop.
*Flashback*
Phoebe was at her office. Elise had walked out of the door. She had fire in her hands. She saw Cole and the fire disappeared.
Cole: If you want to kill your boss, we have people who can take care of that for you.
Phoebe: Aren't you sweet? Truth is…she's right. My advice was a little off this week.
Cole: I don't understand what you're doing here. You're Queen.
Phoebe: And you're cranky. I told you I'm not quitting my job.
Cole: And what about your other job? You gonna keep that, too?
Phoebe: And what job would that be, Cole?
Cole. The Charmed One. Mallick told me what you did.
Phoebe: So what? I let him go.
Cole: That doesn't make it ok!
Phoebe: Keep your voice down! This is where I work!
Cole: You can't save an innocent and free a demon, Phoebe. It doesn't work like that.
Phoebe: You sound like Piper.
Cole: Yeah, well, Piper's right. You made a choice when you stood by me at the coronation. If you're questioning that choice now, if you're not sure you want to be with me, you need to let me know!
Phoebe: Of course I want to be with you. I just don't understand why you have to be so rigid.
Cole: Because I am the Source! Because you are my Queen! Because there are expectations!
Phoebe: Do you think I care about anyone's expectations?!
Cole: This is not a game, Phoebe. You walked through a one-way door. You try to turn around now, they will destroy us.
Phoebe: Who? My sisters?
Cole: The Underworld. If they think we're working both sides, they will revolt.
If they do that, if they unite against us…I promise, we will pray for death.
Phoebe: I'm sorry, I-I didn't know-
Cole: I get it, Phoebe. Better than anyone, I know what you're going through. It'll rip you apart if you let it.
Phoebe: How do I not let it?
Cole: You make a choice, and you stick to it. Even though it's hard…even though it means giving up the people that you love. Let's go home.
*Cole holds out his hand, Phoebe reaches out her hand and they flame out*
*Out of Flashback*
Phoebe sank into her bed and started crying. She regreted the arguements so much. "Oh god why did he have to die?" she cried softly. The memories never stopped coming to Phoebe. It was almost like the memories could come together as a premonition. She just laid on her bed looking at pictures of Cole. She looked out of her window. "Cole hear me right now. I need you please come back to me." she said. Suddenly another flashback came.
*Flashback*
*Cole flames into the penthouse, Phoebe is sitting at the desk writing a letter*
Cole: Phoebe, we have to-. What's the matter?
Phoebe: Did you know about the Seer's tonic? What it really does?
Cole: What's this?
*Cole looks at Phoebe's letter*
Cole: You planning to leave me?
Phoebe: I wrote two letters, one saying goodbye to you, and one saying goodbye to my sisters. I haven't decided which one I'm gonna send.
Cole: Well, you better decide. Right now.
Phoebe: Did you know about the tonic?
Cole: Yes.
Phoebe: So you knew she was poisoning me with evil.
Cole: You took my hand and walked me through that coronation long before anybody gave you anything to drink. So if you wanna pretend that you're being poisoned-
Phoebe: So why even bother with the tonic?! Why not just let me think for myself?
Cole: Because I know what it feels like to have good and evil fighting inside of you ripping your insides out. I wanted to save you that pain.
Phoebe: You should've trusted me, to stand by you all on my own.
Cole: So, show me I can. You know what's in the tonic now. You know how it works. Drink it, all on your own.
Phoebe: Oh, Cole…
Cole: I don't have time for games, Phoebe. Just drink the tonic, or leave. Now.
Phoebe: What is going on with you? What happened?
Cole: What happened is you had to go and play demon-catcher with your sisters.
Phoebe: Cole, it's who I am!
Cole: And now we're in danger, serious danger. If you don't care about your life…or mine, or the baby's, what about Paige and Piper?
Phoebe: Don't you threaten them.
Cole: I'm not. But if there's a coup, do you think that whoever takes over for me will let them live? Without the power of three, they're sitting ducks.
Phoebe: I don't know what to do.
Cole: You can't go back. There is only one choice. Drink the tonic. You have to know that I would never do anything to hurt you. Please…for us, for our son.
*Phoebe drinks the tonic and then Cole holds her close*
Cole: I love you, Phoebe. Just remember, whatever happens next, we can handle it as long as we stay together.
Phoebe: What do you mean, whatever happens next?
Cole: The Conroy thing got serious. I had to take care of it.
Phoebe: You killed him?
Cole: It was your mess. I was just cleaning it up.
Phoebe: Cole, they're gonna come after you. They're gonna come here!
Cole: If they do-
Phoebe: No.
Cole: Phoebe, if it comes down to them or us-
Phoebe: Oh, God…
Cole: Phoebe, wait.
*Phoebe runs into the bathroom, closes the door, and throws up the tonic into the toilet.
She then turns on the sink and wets her face with water*
Cole (knocks on the door): Phoebe… Phoebe?
*Cole walks back into the living room, Piper, Paige, & Leo orb in*
Paige: You evil son of a bitch.
*Piper uses her powers to explode Cole, and as he takes shape again, Paige places the crystals along the floor*
Piper: Phoebe… get out here and help us, damn it! Paige…
*Paige looks up right before Cole flings her hard into a wall*
Cole: Don't make me kill you.
*Piper explodes Cole again*
Piper: Phoebe, you heard what he said. He's gonna kill us. Help us!
Phoebe (to herself): Forgive me.
*Cole creates a fireball in his hand. Phoebe walks in the room and picks up the remaining crystal on ground*
Cole: I'm sorry… It's-it's for the best.
Phoebe: I know it is.
*Phoebe walks over to Cole, the fireball in his hand smokes out as she kisses him passionately*
Piper: Phoebe?
Phoebe: I'm sorry, too.
*Phoebe places the crystal on the ground forming the circle of crystals*
Cole: Phoebe, no. No!!!!
*The crystals create a magical barrier surrounding Cole*
Phoebe (cries): I'm sorry, baby. I'm so sorry.
Piper: Prudence, Patricia, Penelope, Melinda…
Phoebe: (cries): Astrid, Helena, Laura, and Grace…
*Flames shoot up from Cole's feet, engulfing him slowly in fire*
Cole: I'll always love you.
Paige: Halliwell witches stand strong beside us…
Phoebe (cries): Vanquish this evil…
Phoebe, Piper & Paige: From time and space!
*Phoebe covers her eyes as Cole/Source explodes and is vanquished. Phoebe walks to the center where Cole was standing and cries*
*Out of Flashback*
Phoebe drops to the ground with a pillow in her arms. "Please come back to me. Please come back to me......." she cried. Her tears suddenly formed into a figure. Phoebe got up from her bed slowly. "Who are you and why are you here?" she asked. "I'm the keeper of sorrow and tears." the girl said. Once Phoebe's tears came together completely it formed to a woman with long brown hair in a white dress. "Phoebe I've seen you cry for 8 months straight and everytime I recieve your sorrow it's always for the same reason. Cole." she said. "I lost Prue and then I lost Cole. I can't hold in my pain." she replied. "Phoebe it's not like I can come out of the blue to my innocents tears. You have it good. I came here to grant you Cole back." she said. "You can't do that. Death has him right now." she replied. "I know that. But remember "sorrow and tears" I'm practically death's little baby sister." she said. "Then why do you wear white?" she asked. "Hey it's the only thing that ticks him off. Now come on take my hand. I'll lead you to Cole." she said. Phoebe hesistated. "At least let me take my sisters with me." she said. The Keeper of sorrow and tears nodded. Phoebe ran to get Paige and Piper. They came along with her.
When they got to the deeper point of the underworld they saw the many souls of the people who haven't yet crossed over. "Oh my god look at this." Paige said. So many souls were in the whirlpool of souls. "Where's the keeper of sorrow and tears?" Piper said. "Over there." Phoebe said. Paige orbed up with her sisters up there. "Where's Cole?" she asked. "Let me find him. Phoebe. Paige orbed your sisters back to the manor. I will come with Cole. In the flesh." she replied. Phoebe nodded. Paige orbed up with Phoebe and Piper. "So close to seeing him. But yet so far away." Phoebe said. "Are you saying you're not ready to see him yet?" Paige asked. "No,it's just I don't know whether I should accept him back." she replied. "Do it. He risked his life for you. He loves you with all of his heart." Piper said. Phoebe nodded. "I gotta change." Phoebe said. Phoebe ran up to her room.
She slammed the door. "What am I getting myself into?" she said softly. Paige went over to the door. "Phoebe? Sweetie will you open the door?" she asked. Phoebe didn't say anything. "Why do I always have to do this the hard way?" she asked herself. Paige orbed into the room. She found Phoebe on the ground crying helplessly. "Honey come on get up." she said. "Oh god, Paige I don't know what I'm doing......" she managed to say. "What you are doing is you're getting the love of your life back." she replied. "Oh god, I can't lose him again." she cried. "You won't Phoebe. Cole will live until the both of you die together. And then in the afterlife you 2 will probaly find your way to each other again." she said. Paige still held Phoebe to comfort her.
The keeper of sorrow and tears came in. Piper was pacing around while Leo watched. "Looks like we got company." he said. Piper stopped and say the keeper of sorrow and tears. "Where's Cole?" she asked. "I need Phoebe down here. Before we left he told me he wanted to see Phoebe before he saw everyone else." she replied. Piper nodded. "Phoebe! Come here. She's back!" she yelled. Paige orbed down with Phoebe. "Where is he?" she exclaimed. "He's outside waiting for you." she replied. Phoebe ran out the door to see Cole standing on the porch with his hands in his pockets. "Cole........." she said softly. Cole went over to her and kissed her passionately. "I missed you so much." he said. "Not as much as I did." she replied. They kissed passionately again. "I love you." he said. "I love you too." she replied. They both walked into the manor. Piper and Paige had tears in there eyes. They both hugged Cole. Leo and Cole shook hands. He went back over to Phoebe. He kissed her passionately again. "God, it's great to feel your touch again." he said. "It's great to taste your kisses again." she said.
That night the keeper of sorrow and tears came in and said "No more crying now." Phoebe and Cole laughed. "Thank you for bringing me and Cole back together again." she said. "Goodbye." she said. The keeper of sorrow and tears then went over to a lair. A figure in a black-cloak was sitting in the throne. "Master, the witch and mortal are reunited." she said. "Excellent. May the plan begin!" the figure exclaimed. They took off the hood and it revealed the Seer with a wide smile on her face.
How's that? Chapter 3? Good? Bad? Please R+R.
It's been 8 months since Cole died. Phoebe was still a witch. She and her sisters turned down the angels' offer. Phoebe just couldn't give up her powers. She needed them because somehow they reminded her of Cole. He was one of the people who helped her powers get more stronger. She wanted to here her hearts desire again. She went upstairs to the attic. Piper followed her. "Uh Phoebe? What are you doing?" she asked. "I'm going to cast a spell to hear my hearts desire to see if Cole ever comes back to me." she replied. "Phoebe you can't just decide it like that. That's personal gain." she said. " Maybe you should continue your morning sickness." she replied. "My pregnancy has nothing to do with personal gain." she said. They got up to the attic. "Piper just let me say this one spell. I need to know this." she replied. Piper stood by Phoebe. Phoebe let up a candle. And wrote on a piece of paper "Will Cole come back to me?" Phoebe then said the heart desires spell.
"My love is strong,
My spirit weak,
It is an answer that I seek,
A question burns within this fire,
So I may hear my heart's desire."
Phoebe drops the paper into the bowel. A small explosion came. After the smoke clears and Phoebe and Piper could see again. They saw nothing in front of them. It was just the same attic. With no special people or anything. "See I told you. Personal Gain." Piper said. "Don't remind me." Phoebe replied. Phoebe runs over to her room. She then gets another flashback once she spots her laptop.

Cole: And what about your other job? You gonna keep that, too?
Phoebe: And what job would that be, Cole?
Cole. The Charmed One. Mallick told me what you did.
Phoebe: So what? I let him go.
Cole: That doesn't make it ok!
Phoebe: Keep your voice down! This is where I work!
Cole: You can't save an innocent and free a demon, Phoebe. It doesn't work like that.
Phoebe: You sound like Piper.
Cole: Yeah, well, Piper's right. You made a choice when you stood by me at the coronation. If you're questioning that choice now, if you're not sure you want to be with me, you need to let me know!
Phoebe: Of course I want to be with you. I just don't understand why you have to be so rigid.
Cole: Because I am the Source! Because you are my Queen! Because there are expectations!
Phoebe: Do you think I care about anyone's expectations?!
Cole: This is not a game, Phoebe. You walked through a one-way door. You try to turn around now, they will destroy us.

The Keeper of sorrow and tears nodded. Phoebe ran to get Paige and Piper. They came along with her.
When they got to the deeper point of the underworld they saw the many souls of the people who haven't yet crossed over. "Oh my god look at this." Paige said. So many souls were in the whirlpool of souls. "Where's the keeper of sorrow and tears?" Piper said. "Over there." Phoebe said. Paige orbed up with her sisters up there. "Where's Cole?" she asked.
