A/N: Sorry I took so long to update. Writers block and all, right now I'm just writing because I need to finish this story. Also, I don't know anything about Cole's history, so I his family was mentioned sometime in the show, forget it was.
That night. . .
Phoebe collapsed onto the couch, followed by Paige. Piper entered after them with a jug of apple juice and some glasses. She placed them on the coffee table and collapsed next to Paige. Cole and Leo were orbing the rest of the stuff to the manor, and had convinced the exhausted women to get some rest.
"Never moving again!" Phoebe said sighing.
"And if you do, do it the old fashioned way!" Paige said. Piper snickered.
"You know, this is going to be fun. Like the good ol' days, when Cole wasn't trying to kill us." Piper said. Phoebe threw her a look. "What? Just because I'm giving Cole a chance it doesn't mean I'm going to stop with the whole 'he tried to kill us' thing. It will be quite a story to tell your kids." Piper said smirking. After a few minutes Leo orbed in with Cole, each of them holding a cardboard box.
"Well, that's it!" Cole said rubbing his hands together. He sat down on the one seater next to Phoebe. Leo was about to sit down, but quickly stood again with a look that seemed vaguely of distress.
"What is it?" Piper asked leaning forward. Leo exhaled deeply.
"They're calling. Again." Leo said. "I'll be back soon, I hope." With that he orbed out of the manor.
Phoebe took Cole's hand and smiled at him.
"Well, we're back." She said. Cole smiled.
"Yeah, and it feels good." He said. He stood up. "I'm going to go have a shower and get some sleep. It's been a long day."
"Okay, I'll be up in a while." Phoebe said. Cole said goodnight to Piper and Paige before heading upstairs.
"What's with the elders?" Paige asked when Cole was gone. "Is it because of Cole?"
"Maybe. Leo will be back soon, we'll ask him." Piper said.
"They can't do anything though, can they?" Phoebe asked. Piper shrugged.
"If Cole is good, there must be something we don't know. Like Leo said, maybe something is going to happen in the near future." Piper offered. Phoebe shook her head.
"I don't like it. If there's a reason that they don't trust Cole, I want to know what it is." Phoebe said.
"I guess we'll find out eventually." Paige said.

Cole made his was back to the bedroom after his shower. He pulled on a shirt and slipped into some slacks. He heard Phoebe's voice, before someone coming upstairs. Sure enough Phoebe entered the room seconds later.
"Hey." She said as she hugged him. He wrapped his arms around her and placed his chin on top of her head, taking in her familiar scent.
"Hey." He said back. They stood there for a few minutes, before Cole pulled away suddenly. He felt the hairs on the back of his neck stand up, and he spun around. Phoebe looked to the point where Cole was now focussing, and was surprised to see a man standing there.
"Cole. . .?" She said holding onto his arm. The man snickered and took a step forward. Cole, shielding Phoebe took a step back.
"What are you doing here Athex?" Cole said. Phoebe frowned.
"You know him?" She asked. The man laughed.
"I'm surprised she doesn't know about your past yet Balthazar, or is it Cole now?" He said. "She is you wife, isn't she? The reason you gave up everything you ever had." His voice was slowly getting louder.
Phoebe was surprised to feel Cole shudder. She stepped forward, shrugging off Cole's efforts to hold her back. "Who are you?" She demanded. The man smirked.
"I'm your brother in law." He said.
Gotta love ending chapters like that. Don't you love it? R&R!! Give me some feedback.
