Chapter V

Night fallen once again, dull clouds invaded the clear sky, and thunders could be heard from distance. Looking out the window dreamily, touching the dainty glass now struck with raindrops, and staring up the sky, a sigh of relief was released.

"Don't you wish you could stay like this forever?" Phoebe turned around and asked softly.

"This is all I ever wished for." Cole replied, whispered raspy in Phoebe's ears while running his hands up and down her arms.

Swung herself around facing Cole, she grabbed his face and force him to look at her. A smile crept upon his lips, as he planted a kiss on her lips. Shockingly she backed away.

"What's wrong?" Cole asked, looking hurt.

"Nothing," Phoebe answered with hesitation, "nothing."

"Well, when you say 'Nothing' twice with an 'uh' in between, that means it's something."

"No, no. It's nothing really." Phoebe insisted, while avoiding complete eye contact and played with his buttons.

Slowly lifting up her face, Cole raised his eyebrows as her innocent puppy eyes met his. "No, that's not gonna work." Cole stated sternly. Unexpectedly, Phoebe threw herself at him, and devouring him with hot, passionate kisses. Unknowingly, he didn't manage to grab her in time, and they both fell flat down onto the ground and laughed hysterically.

Cole rolled over, and climbed on top of Phoebe. He interlaced her fingers with his and squeezed her hands tightly, as hot ride of waves rushed through his body. Locking eyes with her, he slowly lowered his lips down to her neck and gently kissed it, then moved to her earlobes and slowly nibbled it.

Meanwhile, a slob covering Paige running through the bathroom, as yellow slimy slob dripped down from her face and hands. "I wish you could've told me the potion was about to blow up in my face!" Paige hollered.

"And missed the fun?" Teased a snickering Piper, who tailed behind. She suddenly stopped all of the sudden in front of the door. Jiggled the knob lightly, she pushed the door opened, "Hey Pheebs, you're missing all the fun!" To her surprise she found a half naked Cole sitting on top of Phoebe looking terrified, and the top of Phoebe's head peaking up. Jaw dropped, and eyes wide opened, she couldn't utter a word. She took a deep breath, and gave Phoebe and Cole a quick disgusting glaze, then slammed the door shut.

Exchanging worry looks at each other, Cole and Phoebe slowly got up and get dressed.

Scrubbing yellow sticky goo off of her face, Paige carelessly threw the towel into the trash, and missed. She groaned and bent down to grab the towel; about to throw it into the wastebasket, she spotted a white stick sticking out. Curiously, she used the towel to grab the stick and gasped in amazement.

Rushing down the stairs happily, she rushed into the kitchen, where Piper was handling the dishes roughly, just dropping it into the sink.

"Congratulations!" Paige chimed, as she ran and gave Piper a big hug.

A baffled Piper struggled her way out of Paige's grip and complained, "Paige, what are you talking about?"

"Like, you don't know!" Paige exclaimed.

"I don't." Piper said.

"Piper, we need to talk." Came Phoebe's voice from behind, with Cole next to her.

"What's *he* doing here?" Paige blurted out.

"There's nothing to talk about Phoebe. You betrayed us." Piper sternly notified, as she turned her back towards Phoebe. "Again."

"Piper," Phoebe beckoned her sister to look at her.

"When will you ever learn your lesson Phoebe?" Piper turned around angrily. "Why do you always pull a stunt like this? Why are you keep putting our lives at stake? Can you be anymore selfish?"

"Piper, can you please let me explain?" Phoebe asked despairingly.

"No, Phoebe, you can't!" Piper spat. "I've had enough of your lying."

"Piper, I didn't lie."

"So was this your friend?" Piper asked, pointing at Cole.

"Yes." Phoebe answered in shamed.

"Exactly."

Cole and Paige stayed silent watching Phoebe and Piper go at each other. The tension was getting worse by the minute. Tantrums were flying all over the room. Unexpected powerful, yet hurtful words were escaping their lips violently at each other like a vicious dog attacking a stranger.

"Why is it so wrong for me to happy?" Phoebe screamed, at tears welling up her almond burnt eyes. "When you and Leo broke the rules, no one said anything, but being very supportive of you both. Why can't you do the same, and let me be happy? Maybe, it's a mistake, maybe it's not. But let me make my own mistake."

"But, your mistake involved other people's lives Phoebe!" Piper reasoned with her. "Ever think of that Phoebe? Maybe not, because you're so involved in your own "Poor Me" world, no one else's life matters to you. Why are you so blind Phoebe? This is not the first this has happened. Are you going for the record? Or can't you see that he is still tempted to the other side? He doesn't loves you, he's just using you to get to us!"

"I'm sorry that you feel that way, Piper but, he truly loves me." Phoebe declared calmingly. "Whether you believe it or not."

"And this is the result," she analyzed, " you came selfish, self-involved."

"No, Piper." Phoebe scoffed, shaking her head. "This is the result." She placed her hand on her stomach and gently patted it.

Everything that was running through Cole's mind suddenly all frozen, when Phoebe statement echoed his head. "Phoebe's pregnant?!" It screamed in his head. His Phoebe is PREGNANT! He just wanted to jump up in joy. He wanted to announce to the world he's going to a father. He's going to be somebody's father. He wanted to announce his love for Phoebe. But, this wasn't the time or place.

"So, the test was yours?" Paige interrupted, looking at Phoebe unbelievably, while a flabbergasted Piper was thunderstruck by the news. Words caught up in the middle of her throat, causing her gagging for air.

"Yes, it is." Phoebe proclaimed, making it clear for everyone to hear, especially Cole. "And I'm happy, I don't care what you have to say. Because I'm keeping this baby."

"You can't be serious, Phoebe." Paige protested.

"Why the hell not, Paige?" Phoebe retorted. "Because it's Cole's? Or is it because it makes me happy? Or maybe because it's evil spawn."

"Phoebe, you know that's not what I meant." Paige defended herself.

"Then what do you mean, Paige?"

"I uh," She chocked.

"That's what I thought." Phoebe simply stated, then turned and stormed up stairs. Cole followed her close behind up to her bedroom.

"Phoebe," Cole grabbed her arm back gently. "You can't leave it like this, you need to talk to your sisters."

"Cole, there is no way I can get through to them ok?" Phoebe said stubbornly. "They don't understand." She always let her emotion and stubborn get the better of her. She took a few deep breaths, and softly requested if he could shimmer them somewhere secluded, and far away from her sisters.

At first he protested, but then he wanted to please his lover and shimmered them to a cabin up on the mountaintop somewhere in Italy.
