"Phoebe! Are you okay?" Piper shouted through the bathroom door.
"Peachy!" Phoebe shouted back. She clung to the toilet bowl and breathed in deeply. She had been sick throughout the night, and it was beginning to take its toll on her. She was exhausted from lack of sleep, and she couldn't understand why she was sick in the first place. Then it hit her. "I'm late." She said to Piper swinging open the door. Piper's mouth dropped open.
"That's great!" Piper shouted. Phoebe groaned. "What? You're not happy about this?" She asked.
"First of all, I don't even know if I'm pregnant. And second. . .if I am. . ." Phoebe paused.
"You don't want to go through this without Cole." Piper said. Phoebe nodded.
"I always thought if this did happen I'd have Cole with me." Phoebe said. "Now. . ."
"First things first. Get dressed." Piper said heading to Paige's room to wake her up and tell her the news.
"Piper, it's 6 o'clock in the morning." Phoebe said.
"We're going to check if we should be expecting a little Halliwell." Piper said.
"Piper. . ." Phoebe started.
"Don't you 'Piper' me! Get dressed. . .now!" Piper shouted.
"Balthazor?" Cole stared, surprised at his mother. He had remembered her so strong, but now she seemed frail. Weak.
"Mother. . .I. . ." Cole started.
"Athex, leave us." She said.
"Mother, I don't think. . ." Athex started.
"Leave us!" She shouted. Athex nodded, and with a slight hesitation and a glance at Cole, he left. "I've heard so many things." She said to Cole.
"Most of which are probably true." Cole said. "Before you ask, yes, I am in love with a witch." Cole said.
"A charmed one." His mother said. Cole nodded.
"That's why I'm here mother. . .I need-" Cole started.
"You need nothing from me. You made that clear when you left." She said. Cole closed his eyes.
"You loved once too. . .a human." Cole said. She averted her glance. "Help me." He begged her.
"Your father. . ." She started.
"He was afraid. . .he never had time to realise. . ." Cole paused. "If you could, would you change things?" He asked her. She shook her head.
"That doesn't matter, it's impossible." She said.
"Help me to prevent what happened to you. You were witness to my marriage to Reyles, you signed the papers. You can talk to them, make them dissolve the marriage." Cole asked. Silence. "Mother, I have never asked you for anything so important. I have never needed you to help me. . ."
"My life, I feel, had been a complete waste." She said. "When I met your father. . .I fell in love. I disgraced my whole family. . ." She paused. "You were raised believing he had left. . .run away." Cole nodded. "I sent him away. When he found out about me being. . ." She stopped. "He was confused, but he stayed with me. He refused to leave."
"I always believed he was a coward, that he had run away. Why didn't you tell me? " Cole asked.
"Because I didn't want anyone else to know. My father swore he would kill him. . .so I sent him away. Told him I didn't care about him. . .he left not even knowing that he had a son growing inside of me. I never saw him again." She said. "I married your step father, retrieved the respect for my family again." Cole reached for his mothers hand.
If I had known. . ." He started.
"If you had known you would never had made a name for yourself in the underworld. I tried to stop you from believing in things as simple as love. . .but you still went and fell in love. With a charmed one of all people!" She stopped. "Are you happy?" She asked. Cole nodded.
"She's all I ever wanted." He said.
"Alright. I'll try and dissolve it." She said. Cole smiled.
"Thank you." He said.
"Why is he taking so long!" Paige asked frustrated. The doctor had left to check the results of Phoebe's test.
"Why do I feel that you are more nervous than Phoebe?" Piper asked.
"Oh, she's not. Believe me!" Phoebe said rubbing her hands together. The doctor entered the room. "Well?" Phoebe asked.
"Congratulations Mrs Turner. You're pregnant."
Reading back, I think I could have done this chapter a whole load better. But then, I was dreading this chapter, so it has reason for being so. . .well. . .bad. Review anyway? Okay? Please?
