Chapter 15
As the light faded out from above them, the sisters looked at each other awkwardly. "What in the world was that?" Phoebe asked totally lost. "Thanks a lot for coming back and uniting the powers of three," Prue stated. "Huh?" Phoebe asked. "We'll explain later. Why don't you come in and we'll talk for awhile?" Piper asked pulling her inside and scolding Prue.
The manor looked like it hasn't even changed a bit. It probably hasn't. The same old Persian rugs laid on the floor, and the antiques that surrounded the house. A sense of overwhelming took over Phoebe. She didn't know how much she really missed it ever since she left.
They sat down in the living room where the air was tense. "Any luck finding dad?" Prue asked starting the conversation off on a bad foot. "Yes, I have. You've always been such a conversation starter," Phoebe said sarcastically.
"Okay, how about we start off on a brighter subject? So, how are you, Phoebe?" Piper asked. "I'm good," Phoebe replied. "Where are you staying? No luggage?" Piper asked. "I'm staying with someone right now," Phoebe answered. "Surprise, surprise..." Prue said.
"Prue...would you just..." Piper trailed off looking at Prue with a death glare. Piper looked back at Phoebe and said, "Ignore her." "I can't. I was hoping to come back with you dropping the grudge against me, Prue. But you know what? You're the exact same thing since I left. I'll come back when the atmosphere is nicer," Phoebe stated and got up. She was leaving the manor.
"Prue! Go after her!" Piper exclaimed. Prue acted like she never heard what Piper said, and went upstairs instead. Piper threw her hands up and said "Phoebe, wait!" "I'll catch up with you later," Phoebe said flipping her cell on. "Cole, come pick me up. I'll be at Starbuck's." She said to Cole while she was walking out of the manor. Piper sighed and closed the door.
At Starbuck's, Phoebe was sitting there thinking about how miserable it went with her sisters. She can't believe Prue would still blame her for something so stupid. It wasn't even her fault. How could she help it if Prue's fiance was hitting on her and she was trying to get away when Prue walked in? It wasn't her fault, but Prue didn't seem to understand that.
"Hey, sweetie! How did it go with your sisters?" Cole asked with an arm around her waist and kissed her forehead. "If it was good. Do you think I'd be here right here right now?" Phoebe asked. "Do you want to talk about it?" Cole question concerned. "No, not really. Can we just go home?" Phoebe asked. "Yeah, sure," Cole said.
They were in the elevator trying to get to their penthouse. "Would you want me to distract you? You seem kind of...I don't know..." Cole trailed off kissing her lips and neck. By the time they reached their penthouse, they stumbled out still kissing each other.
Someone cleared their throat, and they turned to see Cole's parents in their living room. "Cole.." Phoebe said almost in a whisper. "Mom...Dad...What are you guys doing here? How did you find me?" Cole asked. "That's irrelevant. Oh, Cole! We felt so bad for not accepting who you love. We just want to make it up to you," His mother said. "well, you didn't have to come all the way here to say that," Cole insisted hugging them.
Suddenly, Crystal took Phoebe's hand. "I hope you could figure us for saying all those things. We really didn't mean it. I guess we sort of didn't want Cole to grow up and leave us," Crystal stated sincerely. "Sure," Phoebe said with a fake smile that fooled everyone.
"So, Dad? Where you guys staying?" Cole asked. "We were hoping to stay here," Benjamin said. Cole looked at Phoebe who still had that fake smile on. She had nothing to say. "Sure, dad. We have room for you and mom to stay here," Cole said.
As they got settled in, Phoebe was cooking dinner. Cole's parents were unpacking. He felt that Phoebe's tension were building up. He put an arm around her waist.
"What's wrong, baby?" Cole asked. "N-Nothing," Phoebe answered placing the cut potatoes into the frying pan. "Doesn't seem like nothing," Cole whispered into her ear. "It just...It seems weird them showing up and pretending like nothing happened. I don't know, maybe I'm overreacting," Phoebe stated. "I actually thought the same thing too, but they're my parents. I can't say no to them staying here," Cole said. "I know, I know...But I'm fine," Phoebe stated. Cole kissed her lips slightly and let go. "Could you set the table please?" Phoebe asked. "Sure," Cole answered.
Crystal came out of their bedroom and said, "Oh, Phoebe! Let me help you with that." "No, that's okay. I'm great. Almost done," Phoebe smiled. "I'll feel more settled in if I help you," Crystal said touching Phoebe's arm.
A cloud of gray and white pictures flashed in front of Phoebe's eyes. For a couple of seconds, Phoebe felt like she couldn't breathe. Images of Crystal flashed in front of her.
Suddenly, she was out of it as fast as she had gotten into it. Phoebe gasps for air, and almost collapse. With Cole's help, she stood upright again.
"You alright, baby?" Cole asked. "I felt a little light-headed," Phoebe stated looking at the pair of eyes staring at her awkwardly. "Alright. Well, why don't you go lat down a minute? I'll bring dinner in for you," Cole said. "That's unnecessary, Cole. I'll eat when I can," Phoebe said starting off to bed. "I say you teach her some manners," Cole's dad stated when Phoebe was away. "I don't treat my woman like dogs," Cole said. "Son, don't you.." "Let it go, Crystal. Let's sit down and eat dinner," Ben stated.
Meanwhile, Phoebe dialed the manor's phone number. Piper picked up. "Hey, Piper. I hope I'm not interrupting anything," Phoebe said. "No, nothing. I'm just...Well, what's up?" Piper asked. "Anything weird happened to you after the light thingy? Because I just got this thing when Cole's mother touched me," Phoebe stated. "Who's Cole?" Piper asked curiously. "Someone, it doesn't matter. These images started flashing in my head. I have no idea what's going on, but it felt unnatural. Piper, what's going on?" Phoebe asked.
"You need to come home so we can discuss this thing. You have to be careful, Phoebe. You'll be safer home, won't you come home?" Piper asked. "I'm not going home, I just want to know what's going on here," Phoebe nearly raised her voice. "I can't explain if you want to know, you have to come home," Piper stated. "I'm not coming home," Phoebe stated. "Phoebe, wait..." The phone went dead.
"Prue! Prue!" Piper yelled going upstairs to Prue's room. "What?" Prue asked. "Phoebe called. She could be in danger," Piper stated. "How do you know that?" Prue asked. "We'll, I think from what she described had her first premonition," Piper announced. "She's probably screwing around with you, Piper," Prue doubted. "No, she's not. She won't come home because you are so stubborn. That's our baby sister, Prue," Piper insisted.
There was a moment of silence when Prue had a little flash back of when Phoebe was born. She was so happy to have another little sister.
"Prue! Hello?!" Piper called. "Alright, you are so annoying! We'll contact her tomorrow," Prue said getting back to her work. "Well, call me at Quake if you need me. I'm working the late shift," Piper stated closing the door and leaving the manor.
Back at the penthouse, Cole loaded the dishwasher and joined Phoebe in the room with a little snack if she was hungry. She had a cable channel on and a book in her hand. "How are you feeling, baby?" Cole asked. "I'm okay," Phoebe answered accepting his kiss.
Cole set the snack down on the nightstand next to her. "I bought you something to eat if you were hungry because you didn't eat anything. You look a little pale, are you sure you're okay?" Cole questioned. "Yeah, thanks for the snack. Why don't you go take a shower? You look tired," Phoebe said. "Alright, I'll be right out," Cole said taking his robe.
The room next door was buzzing with some kind of conversations. Phoebe could feel it. Could they be discussing about her? Why were the images she saw today all about Crystal? It was all blurry anyways. She couldn't remember every vivid thing, though. Just only seeing Crystal.
Half an hour later, Cole came out with his robe on and a towel to dry his hair off. "Was it a good shower?" Phoebe asked. "Not as good as it would've been if you were in there with me," Cole grinned. A voice from the TV started moaning really loud. Cole gave Phoebe a look. "Oops, I wasn't watching that!" Phoebe exclaimed blushing. She quickly grabbed the remote and turned it off.
"Look, baby. If you want some, you could just ask, you know?" Cole joked. Phoebe smiled and said, "I'm going to bed." "Wait up..." Cole jumped into bed. "Wait, come here," Cole said pulling her close to him. His hands roaming her body which was dressed in silk. "hmm...I don't think it's a good idea to be fooling around when your parents are next door," Phoebe stated under the covers with him. "Well, then...We'll have to be extra quiet," Cole insisted moving on top of her.
Phoebe closed her eyes and let the feeling of his lips upon her skin elope in her. In her mind, there was this image of a baby crying and Cole picking it up. Again the images passed by, and Phoebe snapped out of it gasping for air. "Baby, are you okay?" Cole asked looking at her flushed cheeks.
"It's been a very weird night. Can we just go to sleep?" Phoebe asked. "Sure," Cole answered falling onto his side of the bed. Phoebe cuddled up to him as he turned the nightstand off.
"Goodnight, baby," Cole said. "Night..." Phoebe's voice trailed off as she began to fall asleep.
