Cole opened his eyes and smiled, he and Phoebe had fallen asleep, wrapped in each other's arms, it had been a long time since they had slept like that. He lightly shifted only to find that Phoebe was already awake "bout time you woke up" she said, as she freed herself from his embrace, she sat up and rubbed her eyes. "how'd you sleep?" Cole asked as he too sat up, "better than I have in a long time" she said, as she smiled at him. He smiled back, that was her, his Pheebs. "what do you… oh god" she said, as she grabbed at her stomach, Cole quickly panicked, "what? What?" he asked, he could only think the worst, his son, their baby, something had happened. "it.. it kicked" she said happily, "what? Wha.. how? He's too little" Cole said, "I don't know, but he did" Phoebe said smiling. Cole smiled back at her and placed his hand on her stomach, and there it was, his son, his beautiful, flawless boy. He felt a little punch emerging from her stomach, "oh my god, Phoebe, he's kicking" he said happily. He put his ear down to her belly and smiled, he could feel his son move around, just exploring. His eyes were gleaming with joy, and Phoebe was on the verge of tears, "I can't believe this" she said happily. "neither can I, I mean, you have a person in you" he said laughing, Phoebe giggled at him and cupped his face, "we're having a baby" she said, as she kissed him happily, he smiled against her lips, just enjoying the feeling again. It had been a long time, a long time of neglect on behalf of both, and it just felt nice to be like this. "I love you" he said, his lips still pressed to hers. She smiled at him, those words, they could wipe away any pain, she barely remembered that only hours ago, her sisters had died. "I love you too" she said, as she stared into his blue eyes. He smiled back and cleared his throat, "do you want something to eat? how bout you little fella?" he asked Phoebe's stomach. "he says he would just like to get up and pee" she said, Cole smiled and let her go to the bathroom. Cole got up and walked to the kitchen, he opened the refrigerator and browsed for something to feed his child. "Feeling better sir?" a voice came from behind him, he turned quickly only to find the seer, smiling at him. If Phoebe came out of the bathroom and saw her…"seer, I… you shouldn't be here" he said quickly as he shut the refrigerator door. "I came to give the queen her tonic" she said holding up a glass, "uh, yeah, there's a problem with that… she doesn't want to take it anymore" he said quietly, making sure Phoebe wasn't coming. "but sir, if she doesn't take it, the baby… he feeds on evil" she said, "just leave her, she doesn't want to take it" he explained nervously. "if she doesn't take this, than the baby may not be evil, he might be able to be swayed" she said, "swayed where? Her sisters are dead, and Phoebe is evil for good, she won't sway anywhere" he said dismissing her, "the baby can stray once he is born" she explained, "I won't let that happen" he said severely, "the same way you didn't let Phoebe stray?" she asked, almost challenging him. "she's with me isn't she?" he asked defiantly. She immediately noticed his change of tone, "sir, I don't mean to be insolent, I'm just looking out for your well being and your sons" she said, "what about Phoebe's?" he asked almost menacingly. "sir, you know that in our plans, Phoebe always played a minor part, she was just the carrier of your son" she said, "unfortunately, our plans have changed, seer, she is and always will be a part of my life, and she is the mother of my child, and whether you like it or not, me and her and our son, will be a family" he said, almost proudly. "I'm glad to hear you have such pride and confidence in us Cole" a voice from the kitchen entrance came. Cole and the seer turned immediately. "my queen" she said quickly, "don't my queen me, I heard your plans, or your former plans" she said, the hurt obvious in her voice. "Phoebe, I'm sorry, I would have never gone through it, you know that, you know I love you…" he was cut off by her, "I don't think I do know, Cole, you tricked me, again, and still, I keep falling, or you're amazingly clever or I'm and idiot" she said, as she walked toward the seer, she had no idea what to expect. She knew that Phoebe was mad, but the expression in her eyes was of true madness. "you… you have brought me nothing but tragedy, I should just end it right here, what do you think Cole?" she asked, cynically turning toward Cole, "Phoebe, I thought we went through this, you can't…" he said, he was silenced by the amused by expression on "oh, so you choose your seer over your wife and your son? That isn't very smart Cole" she said, waving a finger at him. "My Queen, these changes have obviously changed, you are the queen, nobody would try anything against you" the seer explained, "you know? I don't find that to convincing, what do you say Cole? Should I?" she asked innocently, while appearing on her deadly fire balls. "Phoebe! Please, wait.." he said, "uh uh," she said waving a finger at him, "it's your pick, or the seer, or your wife and your child, which is it lover?" she asked, the fire ball still spinning in her hand. Cole looked at her, almost terrified, "Phoebe, don't make me choose, please" he begged, "you see sweetheart, I believe in one man one woman, and I see that you have two" she said, almost jokingly. "Phoebe, you know it's not like that" he said, "than tell me Cole?!?! How is it???" she screamed, the fire ball in her hand flying toward the toaster oven, "was it not her plan to kill me?? And to take care of our child?? Huh? Cole? Was it??!!" she screamed, Cole let his head drop, he intently looked at the floor, "kill her" he said silently and sadly, "no.. please. My liege…" her words where lost, she was dust.
Cole stared into the air, Phoebe turned around, and looked at him. "You should've chosen the seer, from this day on, my son and I, are nothing to you" she said madly, as she walked out of the kitchen, leaving Cole all alone and hopeless.
