Disclaimer: This is solely for entertainment.

Summary: Piper and Cole are seeing each other and the elders; Prue, Patty and Penelope intervene. Rating will most definitely change as the story progresses. The P.O.V. changes in this chapter. Oh and magick is spelled correctly. There are two ways to spell it and the way I spelled it is the non-stage pulling rabbits out of a hat type magick.

Part IV

~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~

As I got down on bended knee piper's face lit up. I had never seen her face light up like that before, not during sex, not while cooking or doing anything else she enjoys.

"Will you marry me? Please say you'll marry me." Her face looked troubled for a second before she opened her mouth.

"Yes." was her very soft answer. She looked like she had just spoken without her mind, that she had just used her heart to answer the question. I knew it was hurting every core in her body due to the fact that she, no it isn't her fault that things went this far. It's more my fault that things happened this way, I should have just never taken the assignment and all this would of never happened. She would be happily married and maybe even pregnant by Leo instead of me. But when I looked in to her eyes I knew she was happy with her decision. So I kissed her.

~@~@~@~@~@~

I said yes. I cant' believe I said yes. I was never one to take risks but I might as well. The baby is Cole's so what right did I have to keep him from knowing and loving his child. I must have had some doubt on my face because he looked into my eyes. He kissed me. I love the fact that he was brave enough to kiss me.

As we lied on the bed Cole rubbed my stomach lovingly. The look on his face was one of pure joy and love.

"So when do you want to tell them who's the father of the baby is?" the decision was his. He knew I was going to go along with whatever he said except for the answer don't tell them anything.

"How about February 21?" he asked.

"Sure." I knew what he was doing the baby was supposed to be due that day. So even if the baby was here or not we still had a firm opportunity to tell them.

~@~@~@~@~@~

The day was set. We would tell them on the due date.

As the weeks passed they saw more and more of each other. They started setting up everything in Louisiana from the baby's room to the yard. They felt they finally had control over their lives, until the involuntary bringing up to the elders.

~@~@~@~@~@~

"Piper we understand that you are pregnant with Cole's child, we called you to give you an ultimatum." Adam the first elder said.

"We will give you 2 choices and you will have to choose one or the other for the sake of magick." Eve the second elder said.

Piper knew what they were going to ask her for the simple fact that she knew their baby was going to cause problems in the magick community.

"What is it you want?"      

"We want you to either give up the baby and Cole and your sisters and Leo will never remember you being pregnant. Only you and Cole will remember and the baby's powers must be bound." Said Adam. 

"Or you can leave San Francisco and live your life with Cole and your child and never see your sisters again. Either way you have to give something up, or all good magick is lost."

Piper just sat there silently crying. She had to choose between her sisters or her unborn child, and that's one decision no one should have to make.

"We'll give you a month to think about it, but you must choose soon because you're running out of time." And with that they sent her back with one of their whitelighter in training.
