Here's the second chapter........

"Well, Miss Halliwell, I never thought I'd have you in my bed again." Phoebe sighed and layed her head on Cole's bare chest and listened to his
heartbeat as she talked. "Well, Mr. Turner, it seems you were wrong. Oh my god," she whispered and
sat up with a jolt. "Cole, you're still wearing your wedding ring. Why
didn't you take it off?" "I guess it made me feel close to you," he replied softly as he planted a
kiss on the top of her head.
"Wow, you never did give up on us did you Cole?"
"No, I didn't Phoebe and I'm glad I didn't." "So am I baby, so am I," Phoebe said as she layed back down on Cole's chest
and slept.
Cole sighed, "Everything is as it should be," he thought as he watched
Phoebe's head rise and fall with each breath he took. Cole stayed up; watching her sleep as he had done many times in the past. He wasn't really sure why he watched Phoebe sleep after they made love, he supposed it was a habit of sorts. It reassured him that this was real, that they were real. He layed there in wonder, wondering what he had done to deserve her. With
all the things he had done to her, Cole wondered how in the hell he'd gotten her back so many times and this time he almost hadn't, he had almost
lost her for good, this time made him wonder most of all. He'd had her mummified, he had tried to strangle her while under a siren's spell, that hadn't acutally been his fault but still it had been him, christ, she even knew about Kaia, that by itself was enough for her to never want him again,
Phoebe had even wanted to stay a mermaid because of him, because of the hurt he had caused her. Those were all relatively recent things with what
had happened when he was the Source and when he was still Belthazor, a
person could seriously wonder what she saw in him. "Mmm, penny for your thoughts," Phoebe murmmered as she awoke to see Cole
deep in thought. "Huh, what, oh, you're awake," Cole stammered as he had been in a world of
his own.
"Yes, I am and I want to know what you were thinking, you're not having second thoughts are you, because whenyou get quiet like this, it worries me. When you went out and bought that gun last year this is how you acted before and its not good when you act irrationally, you always do something
that gets you in trouble..." she trailed off and Cole interrupted her.
"No, I am not having second thoughts, so you can stop jumping to conclusions, that's what you do and it gets you in trouble, a lot. I was
simply wondering what I did to deserve you." "Don't worry yourself, that's not good either. We're together now, that's
the only thing that matters." "To you and me maybe, but your sisters and Leo might have something else to say about us getting back together, they always have, and our remarrying,
they're not going to like that either." "Let me worry about my sisters and Leo. I'll talk to them later, besides they want me to be happy and you make me happy so they might be a little
more accepting then you think." "Leo and Piper maybe, they know our entire history but they've got a baby
now, and Pagie, well, she's another story altogether."
"Cole," Phoebe said in a warning tone, "It's 3 am let's get some sleep because unfortuately we both will have to work tomorrow if we want to take a nice, long honeymoon, that is if our other jobs don't get in the way." "Mmm, sounds nice well except the work part, half of which we won't be able to control but maybe we'll get lucky. We should get some sleep though, I
guess but not before we have a little more fun," Cole said. "Ooo, that sounds good, I'm game," Phoebe said with a loud shriek of glee
as Cole flipped her on her back and proceeded to climb on top of her.
