"You're so cute! Yes you are! So very, very handsome" Prue said in her most childish voice as she held her nephew Wyatt.

"Put my son down, and step away from the crib" Piper said as she tried to hold back her laughter.

"So "they" just sent you back?" Paige questioned, as she sat in the rocking chair along side piper.

Prue looked down at Wyatt in her arms. "Not for long. Just a visit."
Piper cut Prue off "But, how long?"

"Well it's pretty much up to the Elders. They want to make sure this thing with Phoebe and Cole is going to work out, and then they want to see how it's going to affect everyone. So, it should take a while." Prue said as she smiled.

Just then Leo walked in, "They sent you back already?" He walked over to Phoebe and gave her a hug. He looked over to his wife and sister-in-law; they both had a look of shock on their faces.

"YOU KNEW?" They both said in unison.

"Well yes.Prue said. Leo stood by the door. He knew his wife would not forgive him easily for this one. "But I told him he couldn't tell. That if he did I wouldn't come. I wanted to surprise everyone!" Suddenly the weight was lifted from Leo. Prue looked over to Leo and winked.

"Ok, ok. You surprised us. Are there anymore surprises?" Piper asked.

"Not today" Prue answered with a smirk on her face

Prue looked at Piper, then at Paige. Paige had a disappointed look on her face. "I'm not going to take your place." Prue said to Paige, as if reading her mind. "I just really wanted to meet my new nephew. and new sister." Paige smiled.

"Do you think they are truly meant to be together? Cole and Phoebe I mean." Piper asked.

"Yes"

BACK AT COLES APARTMENT

Cole looked around the apartment. "I should have cleaned." Cole said with a laugh.

Phoebe looked around the room. "I was going to come here and clean it. I just. couldn't"

"I know" Cole said. He had his arm around Phoebe; he hugged her, and then held her tight. They were still sitting on the couch. Cole started to think about how long it would take for him and Phoebe to be as close as they use to be. They'd have to start all over. This was a whole new Cole.

"Do you want anything?" Phoebe asked.

"Shouldn't I be asking you that? It is my apartment." Cole laughed.

"Well you've been gone so long I wasn't sure if you remembered where everything was." They both laughed. Then Phoebe looked into Cole's eyes.

"I want you to know I did miss you. I thought about you all the time. I just tried to get over you, but it didn't work.."

"We had been through so much. I knew though that some how I'd come back. I hoped for it, the whole time I was down there. One day I started sensing a lot of magic gathering. Then your sister came. She explained everything to me."

Phoebe thought to herself "Once again Prue comes to the rescue. What would I do without her?" As she thought this, she got knots in her stomach. She knew what she would do without Prue. She had been through all of that before.
Cole could tell Phoebe was upset. He didn't know what to say, so he leaned over and kissed her on the lips softy. Phoebe felt so relaxed; like a weight was lifted from her once Cole kissed her. She kissed him back, and suddenly she felt the old feeling of being with Cole just the two of them come back. Like it use to be when they didn't have to be a witch and a demon, they could just be a young couple in love.
