Phoebe walked briskly down her driveway and had successfully made it out of her yard before bursting into tears.
She was a mess and she knew it. She quickly wiped her eyes and tried to compose herself as Piper drove up.
Phoebe? Are you ok? Piper asked worridly as she got out of her car.
"Phoebe laughed. "I'm hunky dory.It's just that my soon to be ex husband is inside OUR house conversing with your husband!
Piper wrinkled her nose. "Leo? Why would Leo be talking to Cole? He hasn't said a word to him since we vanquished the Source.. Supposedly."
"How the hell should I know? All I know is I can't take seeing Cole all the time. I can't stand to see him and not be with him."
Piper hugged her sister tightly. "I know honey, I know its hard but it WILL get better.... I promise you that."
Phoebe sniffled, looked at her sister and nodded. You're right. I just need to tough'n up and just make myself see that we aren't meant to be."
Piper looked into a window of the house and saw Cole and Leo sitting and discussing something that looked important.
Piper looked at her and frowned "Phoebe, that might not be it. You might just need some time apart."
"Piper please don't start. No matter what think or what I WANT. Cole is evil whether he wants to be or not. Its in his BLOOD to be.
Piper nodded and changed the topic.
" Do you want to come back in?"
Phoebe shook her head vigorously. "No, I don't think so.... Not now anyway. You go on in. I'm going for a walk."
"Ok, Piper agreed pushing Phoebe's dark hair out of her face.I'm going inside to see whats going on. Alright?"
"Ok. Phoebe said walking away. I'll be back in a hour."
Piper waved before walking into the house. The guys were standing now and we're pointing at various things on the walls.
Piper stormed in and started yelling.
"Leo! Cole! What in the HELL are you guys doing HERE????"
Leo immediatly walked closer to his wife. Honey, remember we talked about this the other night.
Piper silenced him with a look."I know why you're here HONEY. I want to know why you're HERE. I just saw Phoebe outside and she's a total basket case!"
Cole walked to the window and watched Phoebe walking down the street. "Maybe I should talk to her, he said walking towards the door.
"Freeze, Piper ordered before Cole took another step.
"Cole, I know you love her, but she needs space right now.Piper reminded him more softly. Now please tell me why you chose HERE of all places for the meeting!"
"I can answer that, Cole said stepping in. We were originally going to meet at my office, but I had a little trouble with something or someone I should say."
Wait, I don't want to here it. We have to plan this carefully, Cole if you love her you will have to stay away for just a bit until I can finish this potion."
Cole was still staring at Phoebe's disappeaing image. I here you, he finally answered looking at Piper.
"Cole, you do realize that if this works you will be completely mortal. No shimmering, energy balls, or anything like that.... Right?"
Cole looked from Leo to Piper, love and courage shining from his eyes. "I know."..............
"Maybe we should just tell Phoebe what we're doing." Leo suggested to the both of them.
"NO, Cole said dead serious. I will NOT put her through any more pain than I already have. If this doesnt work, if I can'r get rid of the demon inside of me, then Phoebe is right. It's too dangerous for me to be around you all and the baby, Leo."
Piper looked at him a new form of admiration forming for him. "Ok, she said quietly. Phoebe won't know. And if it doesn't work... Cole disappears."
As Piper, Leo, and Cole were discussing things, Phoebe was contently walking away from the house, away from her problems, away from her cares, and away from Cole. She was so caught up in her thoughs that she didn't notice something watching her from behind the trees.. Something very evil.
She was a mess and she knew it. She quickly wiped her eyes and tried to compose herself as Piper drove up.
