Road trip!

Its early morning at the Halliwell manor. Piper is on the phone to her dad talking mostly about the lump that had resided in her stomach for about 6 months now. And Paige was doing all that should be done on a Friday evening. sitting on the couch watching cheesy cartoons eating a big bowl of ice cream. Phoebe was. well she was somewhere.

"Yes Dad.. I am taking my vitamins. no im not straining my self. yes resting heaps. Geeze dad you're as bad as Leo!"

"Were just looking out for you and the bub. aren't we Victor?" said Paige into the phone as she walked from the couch to the kitchen. Piper slapped her away.

"yeah im sure they would love that. Yeah we'll be there." And with that Piper hung up the phone with a content look on her face.

"Be where?"

"Los Angeles"

"What?"

"Dads going away for a few weeks and he wants to know if we wanted to use his penthouse in Los Angeles. so I said we'd go!"

"Ehh.. Piper?"

but Piper had already made her way up the stairs.



Meanwhile-----

Cole sat on the bed that he shared with Phoebe staring at his laptop. He had been working at this case for months and was eager to finish it. He fiddled around with the keyboard a bit and he deleted his whole nights worth. He rubbed his temples in an effort to ease his migraine that tempted to surface.

"You know. I think I have a better way to keep you relaxed." Came a seductive voice from the door. There stood Phoebe in a short, sexy (and revealing) negligee. Cole looked up and his eyes grew wide at the sight. Phoebe walked seductively towards the bed. She sidled up next to him and kissed his neck, whilst loosening his tie suggestively. All the while Cole never took his eyes off Phoebe. Then all of a sudden he shook off his mesmiration and said, without making eye contact:

"Honey can I just finish this?" Phoebe sighed and rolled her eyes.

"Fine." She turned away from her husband. And then Cole asked:

"Honey? What is it?"

"Nothing" Phoebe answered plainly.

"Clearly there is something wrong. Now are you gonna tell me?"

Phoebe rolled back and faced her love.

"its just that. well for two months now you've been straining yourself so hard and it seems that. well your not paying any attention to me anymore. and I know that may sound selfish and self centred. but."

"honey im sorry. and I know I've been a little busy."

Phoebe interrupted sarcastically:

"Pffht.. just a little.."

"Honey.. let me finish..."

"you know what. just forget it. Forget I mentioned anything." Cole looked at Phoebe in shock.

"Fine!"

"Fine!" Phoebe huffed, rolled over and turned her light out.

Cole tensed and turned her light back on.

"Phoebe listen to me. I have had a lot of work on my back lately and I have spent a lot of time at the office and I really wish that I could make that time up to you that ive spent there."

"But that's just it Cole.. its not that you spend time at the office. I mean I spend time at my work too. its all the other time. when your at home. the only time that we have together.."

"Honey, im sorry. I really am. And I love you so much I promise that im gonna stop right now."

Phoebe smiled and leant in to kiss him but he turned away at the last minute and fiddled more with his computer. Feeling defeated Phoebe turned her back and laid down. Just as Piper came bursting into the room.

"Were going to L.A!"



~*~*~*~*~*~*~ THE NEXT DAY ~*~*~*~*~*~*~

The Halliwells and their honeys had piled out of the manor at 4:30 am By a Bustling Piper.

"Piper, why are we out here so early." Asked Phoebe in the middle of a yawn. Phoebe had not slept much at all through the night. She and Cole were still not talking. And she had been over tired lately anyway. Elise had over worked her. that's how Piper had convinced her and Cole on this Vacation. She told them that they could work things out on the road and relax by their Dads pool and come back even more in love than ever. Phoebe really couldn't care less. She wasn't going to apologise to him until he did. And knowing Coles stubbornness that could be a while.

"Ohh Piper they're calling I better go! Ill catch up with you guys on the road." Said leo as he went off to find a secluded orbing place before Piper could stop him.

"O.k. we should hit the road." Said Piper as she hopped into the car.

"you know I could shimmer you all there in a split second. It would save a lot of time."

"Ya, but every time you shimmer some demon tracks you and on we go vanquishin' again!" Said Phoebe harshly, not looking at Cole.

"Phoebe, would you stop with the rudeness already. I apologised. What else can I do? Do you want me to grovel?"

"No. but I would like you to stop acting like im the one in the wrong here. Because im not! You are! And maybe you shou. Woah." Phoebe swayed and held her head.

"Phoebe? Baby what is it?" Cole tried to hold her to prevent her from falling, but Phoebe Pulled away.

"im fine.. IM FINE.." Phoebe almost never raised her voice at Cole but she didn't want him touching her while they weren't talking. She quickly got out of his reach and hopped in the car.



When they were on the freeway Piper made small talk to help clear the air.

"you know Phoebe, I really think you should get yourself checked out. I mean all of those head rushes and."

"wait a second. head rushes you mean you've had more of these?"

"Ohh yeah and yesterday she barfed up in the sink! Almost started a chain reaction." Answered Piper before Phoebe even had a chance.

"Honey why didn't you tell me you were unwell? Phoebe stop being stubborn and answer me?"

"Fine! You wanna Know why I didn't tell you. Firstly Im not talking to you. and secondly if maybe you payed more attention to me you would have known."

Phoebe then turned around and looked out the window away from her husband.

Piper sighed and stared once again at the road.





This was going to be one long journey.
