Chapter 11
"Baby's First Halloween."
Part II
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
"Trick or treat!" a group of kids sang in unison.
"Oh... what a beautiful little witch." Phoebe complimented a little girl while she put some candies on her bag with one hand while holding Prue in her other arm. "And some candies for such a handsome cowboy." As she putting more candies. "And for the scary ghost." She said with a smile.
"Thanks!! Happy Halloween!" The kids said and then ran to the next door.
Phoebe just turned and closed the door behind her again. It was just herself and Prue at the Manor. Piper was attending at P3's Halloween Eve, Paige was in the party with Alex and Leo was with the Elders.
Phoebe had to be the one on 'Trick or Treat' watching for the night; besides she had to stay with Prue. Once again the doorbell rang. More kids.
"Trick or treat!!" a couple of girls greeted and Phoebe put candies on their bags.
"Thanks, night!!!" the both girls said and ran to the next door.
Phoebe sat in the couch with Prue again, where she had been watching television. Prue's attention was focused on her mommy's make up. She found it pretty or funny, the fact was that the little girl couldn't help but place her tiny hands on Phoebe's hair and face and then she laughed when she could see her own little hands shining from the glittery from Mommy's outfit, then she was trying to get the shiny things on her hands to her mouth. "Prudence Halliwell, what are you doing?" Phoebe questioned when she realized what her baby was doing.
Phoebe headed to the kitchen with the baby in her arms and reached for a napkin to clean her little hands to prevent any incident. In the kitchen table she found one of P3's publicity for the Halloween Party. She grabbed it and a premonition hit her.
*** It was a in the parking lot of P3. A young man was walking and a big ugly green demon appeared and attacked him from behind.***
She sighed. "Oh, baby, looks like we have demon's ass to kick tonight." She said and kissed her daughter on the forehead.
She ran to the attic with Prue and went straight to the book. She started to flip pages while dialing to P3.
"P3. Trick or Treat. Happy Halloween. Piper's talking."
"Piper?"
"Phoebe?"
"Yes... look, I just had a premonition. I'm looking for the Demon on the Book." She quickly said.
"What demon?" Piper looked concerned.
"I'm looking for it." Phoebe replied. "It happens behind the club."
"What club? My club?" Piper asked.
"Yes!" Phoebe said in exasperation. In that moment Prue started crying. "Not now, honey." She said rocking her to calm her.
"Ok, what did you see?" Piper asked.
"A young guy, he was wearing a suit was attacked by an ugly demon... found it!." She said.
"What does it say?"
"Immune to witch's powers and it can be vanquished with a Power of Three spell." Phoebe read. "I got the spell. Tell Paige to orb me there while I get Leo to watch Prue." Phoebe said while holding Prue with one arm, holding the phone in her shoulder and copying the spell with the other hand.
"Phoebe, Paige is not here." Piper informed her.
"What? No, she was going to the party with Alex." Phoebe said.
"Not this party, they're not here." Piper said.
"And she left her cell phone." Phoebe said. "Oh god..."
"What about Alex?" Piper asked.
"The only way to get Alex is..." she said and then stopped. "Look, I'll get them, you try to get Leo." Phoebe said and hung up.
She knew the only way to get to Alex, was Cole. She hesitated about whether to call Cole or not.
"It seems like we'll need your daddy's help to find your auntie Paige." Phoebe said with baby voice to Phoebe.
She hesitated a little more, and then decided to go through with it. She then dialed the penthouse.
"Hey, we're not home, you know what to do." Cole's voice said.
'Damn the machine!' she thought. Then she dialed his cell phone.
"Cole Turner."
"Cole? Hi it's me, Phoebe." She said a little unsure of his reaction.
"Phoebe? Are you alright? Is there something wrong?" he asked concerned.
"Kinda, it's important, you think you can come to the Manor?" she asked.
"What is it? An emergency?" he asked.
"Yes. I'll explain you here, can you come?" she asked.
"Well, I was driving to my office, so it'll take a few minutes to drive there." He said. "I'll be there as fast as I can."
"Thanks." Phoebe sighed again.
The doorbell rang again, with kids for more candies. Phoebe replied and closed the door.
Then some minutes later the doorbell rang again, and this time there were not more children, instead it was Phoebe's hero.
"Hey, thanks for coming." She said as she led him inside and closed the door.
"What's going on?" he asked and couldn't help but eye Phoebe well. "You look amazing." He complimented her.
"Thanks." She blushed, but she had so much make up that she could almost hide it.
Then Cole starred at Prue and smiled at her, he sighed sadly. "Where's everybody?" he asked trying to put it together.
"It's just Prue and me." Phoebe replied.
"What about the party here?" he questioned.
"There's not party here. The party is at P3." She replied.
"Alex said... oh I can't believe I bought it. I'm sooo gonna kill her." He said when he realized she had fooled him again.
"First you'll have to find her." Phoebe said. "That's why we need you. Paige is with her and we don't know where."
"Weren't they at P3?" he asked.
"No." she shook her head. "I had a premonition and a demon is gonna attack and we need the power of three for that one." She added.
"Fine, I'll get them." He said as he shimmered out.
After some minutes, Cole had finally tracked Alex in a new club across town, but since the place was crowd he couldn't shimmered straight inside of it, so he shimmered on the parking lot, where he spotted Alex's car. There was a crowd on the entrance of the club and a line of at least fifty persons trying to get in. He got to the person in the door who was controlling who gets in and who doesn't.
"You got reservation?" he asked Cole.
"No." he shook his head. "But I need to get in." he insisted.
"Sorry pal, the party is only for the ones who made reservations and bought the ticket." The employee explained.
"I don't have time for this." Cole complained. "Look, I'm not here by myself, I brought some friends." He said with a casual smile.
"You're a funny guy. We don't like funny guys." The man said madly.
"You don't understand. My friends are very well known. Does Benjamin Franklin ring any bell?" he asked. "Now, how many friends do you need to get me in?" he proposed reaching his wallet.
Once inside, he spotted a pretty drunk Cher. She was hugging two other guys. "Paige?" he asked.
"Cole!!" she said laughing.
"Where's Alex?" he asked but the guys were interfering. "Excuse me, where's Alex?"
"Alex... she's... she's there." She said pointing to the stage; Cole's jaw dropped when he saw Alex dancing like crazy with the band. She was sensually dancing and throwing her stuff... stripping? Cole was red for the anger.
"Paige..." he shook her shoulders trying to get her attention. She was just laughing. "Paige..." he yelled. It was the only way, the music was soo noisy.
"Hey pal, leave her alone..." one of the guys with her warned trying to scare Cole.
"Or you what?" Cole replied.
They noticed it didn't work, so the guys walked off.
"Paige... there's a demon, and emergency an innocent." He said.
"What? Demon? Where? Oh yes, you're a demon." She said and she laughed.
He decided the follow the game. "Yes, I'm a demon, you wanna have fun?" he asked.
"Fun?"
"With magic..." Cole promised.
"Yes!" Paige said cheerfully.
"Ok, wait right here." He ordered. "If you go, no fun." He said and she nodded. He walked through the crowd to the stage to get his sister.
Alex had the attention of half of the club when she started dancing and stripping.
"Ok, this is over..." he said getting up the stage and taking her with him.
The people on the crowd started complaining about. "That guys is taking the fun away!" a guy yelled.
"What are you doing?!" Alex asked when her brother was getting her away. "Why don't you go to screw some woman and leave me alone?!!" she yelled kicking. But Cole was stronger and he could overpower her. He got her down to get Paige.
*-*-*-*-*-*
"Leo!! Leo!!" Phoebe was yelling to the ceiling. He didn't answer. She still had Prue in her arms, thankfully the little girl had stayed easy and quite for a while.
Suddenly a pissed Cole shimmered with a drunk Cher and a drunk half naked gypsy.
"Oh... dear!." Phoebe reacted when she saw them.
"Oh and you missed the best part of the show." Cole said sarcastically, but still pretty pissed.
"I can orb there myself." Paige said.
"I can shimmer as well." Alex dared.
"Try. It won't be fun because you're so drunk you won't get half way, and I'm blocking your magic, so you can't get out of here." Cole explained pretty pissed.
Phoebe sighed. "Ok, we have to do something. I'll try to sober them with one of those eggs and tomatoes mix." She said heading for the kitchen. "Cole, you turn off the light of the porch so kids will know there's not more 'Trick or Treat' in this house tonight." She said.
He nodded and did as he was told and came to the living room.
"Why don't you go and screw her in the kitchen so we can go back to our fun." Alex suggested her brother. Of course it was the alcohol talking, but still, it hurt Cole, it hurt him because Alex couldn't understand that this wasn't about sex at all. It was about being with her, holding her, kissing her, playing with his daughter, being a family. He just shrugged and walked in the kitchen where Phoebe and Prue where.
He stopped at the doorframe and watched them for a while and his heart skipped a beat when he laid his eyes on Phoebe, she was beautiful, incredibly beautiful. He smiled when realized that Prue was a little butterfly, she was really cute and she had some of her mommy's make up on her face. Cole smiled even more but this smile quickly went away when he realized that those two beauties weren't his.
Once again Prue was having fun playing with her Mommy's make up, but this time, she choose the hurt eye.
"Auch." She reacted painfully. It still hurt. "Not again." She sighed and cleaned Prue's hands before she got them to her mouth. Prue had taken off most of the make up, so now the bruise was somehow expose. Cole noticed.
"What happened to you Phoebe?" he asked concerned as he walked next to her.
"Ah... nothing... it's just, you know me... last night I got up, I was half sleepy and Bam... I hit myself with the door." She made up.
"That looks pretty bad." He said even if he wasn't buying her lie.
Giving a closer look to the bruise, he approached her slowly, the only thing keeping them apart was Prue. Cole wanted to hold the both of them forever, but he knew he couldn't and it was hard to stand. He took a huge breath to inhale her scent and closed his eyes remembering the happy moments they'd had together. Phoebe did exactly the same thing but they were interrupted by Prue, who was crying now to be in Cole's arms.
"You want to hold her?" Phoebe asked.
"I don't think that's a really good idea." Cole replied.
"Why not?" She asked.
"You know why." He said coldly.
"I'm sorry." Phoebe said, looking down and trying to calm Prue.
"It's just that I've tried to call Leo and he's not answering." She explained. "That's okay baby, shh." She said to Prue who was raising her little hand towards Cole.
Suddenly Paige came in and said, pointing to Prue: "That baby wants her Daddy and..."
She point at Phoebe and said: "That girl wants him too."
With that she burst out laughing and walked away.
The situation was now very uncomfortable for the two of them.
"Don't listen to her, she's drunk." Phoebe said, smiling.
"Yeah." Cole simply answered and Prue was still crying.
"I'm gonna hold her for a while." He finally gave up, not that it was a huge sacrifice but he really wanted to, he was dying to hold his daughter.
"Thank you." Phoebe told him handing him Prue who immediately calmed down.
"You're a big girl and a beautiful little butterfly." He said, rocking her.
Phoebe starred at them for a while, without being noticed and she was smiling because seeing Prue and Cole together was the most beautiful, cute and touching thing on earth. They were matching perfectly and their bonding link was already really strong. She started to cook for the girls.
"Isn't Jonathan here?" Cole asked.
"Huh... no..." Phoebe said without looking at him. It was one of the reasons why she was so happy this night. "...and I don't think he'll be here anymore." Phoebe answered. "He's gone, not coming back. Don't ask." She added.
Noticing in the tone of her voice that she didn't want to talk about it, Cole looked down at Prue who was slowly falling asleep. Phoebe followed his gaze and smiled.
"She feels good in your arms." She said.
Cole smiled; this moment was feeling so right for him that he couldn't help but smile.
"We both do." Phoebe mumbled silently.
"Sorry, what?" He asked.
"I said, what am I gonna do." Phoebe replied.
"You talked about eggs and tomatoes." Cole remembered her.
"Oh, yeah, silly me." Phoebe made up, she was happy that he hadn't hear what she had really said.
A moment later and after that the girl had drunk what they had called a mixture, the were both feeling better and ready to kick some demon asses and then to go back to that awesome party, but they knew that after that when the demon were dead, Alex would have to go home for Cole's big lecture, she had broken many rules.
"Ready to go?" Paige asked.
"In a second, I need to changed Prue, it's cold outside." Phoebe said.
She walked upstairs in her room followed by Cole who still holding Prue in his arms, the little girl was still sleeping and everyone was wondering how she could be sleeping in a such uncomfortable position and with all that noise around her.
Once they got in the room, Phoebe unclipped Prue's little wings and put a sweater on her.
"I don't understand why Leo isn't coming." Phoebe said.
"It's okay." Cole replied.
"I know it's not, don't lie to me." Phoebe said.
Cole sighed and said: "Even if it's not, I said I'll take care of her and that's what I'm doing."
"I really appreciate your help. Thank you."
Once Prue was ready, they returned downstairs with the girls. They all shimmered and orbed to P3.
*-*-*-*-*
They all were at P3 now, waiting for the Demon.
"It's hard to know who is a demon here with all these customs." Piper dressed as Morticia Adams complained. The place was crowd, but the party wasn't half as fun as the one Paige and Alex had attended to that night.
"Did you check the parking lot?" Phoebe asked.
Prue was still in Cole's arms, sleeping peacefully, which was good because he was technically the one who didn't have to fight.
"Why would I?" Piper asked.
"Because the premonition happens there." She replied.
"You said behind the club." Piper said.
"Did I? No! it's on the parking lot." She affirmed. They all got out.
"Him." Phoebe pointing at the same young guy she had seen in her vision.
"The one getting out of the Porsche?" Paige asked. Phoebe nodded.
The demon appeared in front of the guy and forced himself to laugh. Phoebe ran to him and kicked him in the back.
"Mommy is kicking ass baby." Cole whispered to his sleeping daughter. He kissed her on the top of the head and continued to watch the girls fighting with Alex.
When the demon got up, Piper hit him in the stomach and to finish everything, Paige gave him a high kick. This demon was a real loser, unable to fight so the Charmed Ones immediately started to recite the spell and the demon disappeared into flames.
"Are you guys the Witch version of Charlie's Angels?" Alex asked once the demon was gone.
"Who are you? What happened?" The guy they just saved asked.
"We'll explain everything inside." Piper told him.
Everybody walked inside except Cole who was waiting for Phoebe to join him, which she did.
She smiled and said: "She's still sleeping."
"Yeah, she missed the scene of her Mommy kicking demon ass." Cole replied, smiling as well.
Phoebe smiled back and said: "Let's go back inside, it's getting cold."
Once inside, they all sat at a calm table where the music wasn't too loud so that they could talk and explain to the innocent they just saved what happened to him.
Paige was sitting between Piper and Alex, Alex was next to the innocent. Cole and Phoebe where in Piper's office so, Prue wouldn't wake up because of the noise.
"So... What happened?" The guy asked.
"Hi, I'm Alex." The demon girl said; with a smile and shaking hands.
The guy smiled back at her.
'What a smile, he's so hot." Alex thought.
"Hi, I'm Michael Kauffman, but everyone calles me Mike." The guy told her, looking at her in the eyes.
'I like that name.' Alex thought once again.
"You can let his hand go now." Paige whispered.
Alex noticed that she was still holding Mike's hand so she let it go.
"Well, the guy you saw is a demon and we're witches." Alex started to explain; she didn't want to tell the guy that she was a demon otherwise he might be scared, but a good demon who saves innocent if she wants to keep living with her demonic brother.
Piper rolled her eyes when she heard Alex saying that she was a witch.
"And you saved me." Mike said.
"Yeah, we did, well, they did, coz they're the Charmed Ones and they have a lot of powers, but I can kick asses too." Alex said.
"And save me." The guy repeated.
"Yeah." Alex told him.
Seeing that Alex was clearly interested by Mike, Paige took Piper's hand and they both walked towards the bar.
In Piper's office, Prue was starting to wake up and to cry.
"I think she wants her Mommy now." Cole said, handing the baby to Phoebe.
"Thanks." She told him.
"Hey baby, hello, slept well in your... in Cole's arms?" She said.
Prue stopped crying and played again with Phoebe's make up.
"Your bruise looks pretty bad. That was a really angry door." Cole commented.
"It's okay, it doesn't even hurt." Phoebe replied.
"You never could lie to me, I know it hurts." Cole told her.
"I'm okay Cole." She said.
Cole realized he was passing the line, this invisible line between the two of them that was stopping them to be too close, or too show their emotions.
"I'm going to get a drink, you want something?" He asked.
"No, thanks." She replied.
Cole nodded and walked out of the office.
Meanwhile, in the club, Alex was still talking with Mike.
"Do you think you have something the demon could be interested?" Alex asked the tall, good looking guy.
"I have money." He replied.
She smiled and shook her head.
"A Porsche?" he asked. And she shook her head again.
"That I'm a lawyer?" he asked doubtfully.
"I don't know." Alex said.
"A house on the beach?" he asked.
'Marry me.' Alex thought. Then she saw Cole passing. "Cole..." she called and he came. "I want you to meet Mike."
"Michael Kauffman." He introduced himself. He said his full name. Cole liked that, not like a few days ago the other guy had introduced himself as just 'Bob'. I mean Bob who? Cole noticed that if he said his full name, it meant he was a serious person.
"Cole Turner." They shook hands.
"Cole Turner? Partner of Jackman, Carter and Kline, that Cole Turner?" he asked.
Cole nodded. "Do I know you from somewhere?" he asked.
"I don't think so, but I've heard so much from you." He said with excitement.
"Really?" Cole asked.
"Are you kidding me? I've followed your career for years. I'm a really big admirer of your work." He said.
"Well, thanks." Cole said smiling.
"In Yale you're a celebrity." He added.
"So are you a lawyer from Yale?" Cole asked.
"Yes. The way you litigated on court to win the DePandi's case 8 months ago... brilliant." The young lawyer complimented. "And all those cases you've hit, amazing." He added.
Cole was starting to love this guy. "Did you meet my sister?" he asked smiling. This was the kind of guys he wanted for her.
During this time, Phoebe had gone out of the office because she needed a napkin to clean the make up on Prue's hands. She walked behind the bar and took what she needed.
"How's my favorite little niece?" Paige asked.
"She just woke up, she's doing good." Phoebe replied.
Suddenly, Piper and Paige saw Leo orbing in the office so they both walked in it while Phoebe stayed at the bar, serving herself a mineral water and a bottle of milk for her daughter.
"Are you avoiding Phoebe?" Paige asked to her big sister.
Cole walked back towards the office to find Phoebe, not knowing that she was at the bar and he heard the conversation, which was taking place in the office.
"It's very unfair the way you're treating Phoebe." Paige repeated.
"It's very unfair the way she screwed it with Jonathan." Piper replied.
"Not again with that." Paige complained. "It was going to happen, sooner or later, I told you so." Paige said.
"I can't believe what she did to him." Piper said shaking her head.
"What about what he did to her?" Paige asked back.
"When you call your boyfriend by your ex's name, he gets piss." Piper said.
"You see all the make up she's wearing tonight? It's to try to hide what that ass did to her, and she doesn't say anything, but she feels humiliated, ashamed and guilty." Paige explained.
"Ok, Jonathan overreacted a little." Piper admitted.
"A little?" Leo intervened. "Would you like me to hit you if you said Dan's name?" he asked.
"And what about all those awful things he said about Prue?" Paige threw.
"So, you're on Cole's side now?" Piper asked.
"Would you forget Cole for a moment? Your obsession with him is getting serious." Leo said.
"Obsession? He tried to kill us!" she yelled Piper.
"It was the Source." she replied.
"And I see you're spending to much time with the demon kid as well." Piper said bitching about Alex.
"She's my friend. Let her out of this." Paige said.
"Now, you two answer this to me? What the hell is Phoebe going to do now? She's alone again, and this guy was minded to marry her, now he's gone." Piper pointed.
"First at all, he's a bastard. Second at all, Phoebe doesn't need anybody and she hated him." Paige replied.
"She didn't hate him. Everything started when Cole came back." Piper replied.
"Wrong." Paige said.
"We thank god Phoebe doesn't have a blowing power, otherwise Jonathan would be long gone." Leo added. "Look, Piper... Phoebe loves Cole and we can't change that."
"She loved Jonathan." Piper insisted.
"She never loved Jonathan... she just didn't want to feel alone, but it didn't work out anyway." Paige said.
"You're saying that because you never liked Jonathan." Piper said.
"Can you blame me?" her sister asked. "He was a loser bastard that hit women." She added.
"Right. But being a demon for a hundred years and kill people is fine." Piper said. "I'm telling you, Phoebe screwed it big this time."
"Why? Because she finally dumped him? And what about-" Paige continued but Leo cut off.
"Enough of that, all this talking will lead to nowhere." Leo stated.
"I have news from the Elders about the innocent you saved tonight." He added.
Cole had heard enough to understand what really had happened to Phoebe, he was sure it wasn't the door but he didn't want to push her by forcing her to tell him what happened. He had lost the right to make that kind of question to her a long time ago.
He walked towards the bar, looking for Phoebe and Prue.
When he found them Phoebe said: "I think she'll be better in her crib at home, I'm gonna call a cab and go home."
"I can drive you there if you want." He proposed.
"What about Alex? Are you going to leave her here?" She asked.
"Yeah, looks like she's flirting with the innocent so, I'll take you home and come back here to pick up Alex." He said.
"Hold it." She said. "She's flirting with a guy and you're gonna let her?" she asked him. It was not like him.
"He's a lawyer graduated from Yale who admires my work." He replied.
"Oh." Phoebe nodded. "And that's good?" she asked.
"Well, I graduated from Harvard, but Yale is good enough as well. Besides, she'll be grounded for so long that I'll let her enjoy tonight." He added.
"Okay, let's go then." Phoebe said with a smile.
*-*-*-*-*-*-*
"Here we are." Phoebe said as they entered her room.
"You want to hold her for a while until she gets to sleep?" She asked to Cole.
"Yeah, why not." He replied.
"Here, sit down on the bed, she likes it when I do that." She said.
"Do what?" Cole asked.
"Sit down on my bed and talk to her." Phoebe replied.
She handed him his daughter and said: "I'm gonna get changed into my Pj's and I'll be back to change her."
Cole nodded and as Phoebe walked out of the room and looked down at Prue.
"Talk to you? What can I tell you honey?" He asked.
Prue giggled, obviously, she was enjoying this moment.
"Okay... huh, I had a nice night, it was good being with you and your Mommy for a while." He said.
"And you're the cutest little butterfly I ever saw in my life." He added with a smile.
"Now, I'm going to change you before you fall asleep." He said.
He changed her into her Pj's that he had found next to her crib and also changed her diaper. He put her in her crib and said: "Now close your eyes beautiful and sleep tight."
As if she could understand her father, Prue closed her eyes and fell asleep.
"I won't be here tomorrow but I love you." He said as he kissed her on the top of the little head.
Phoebe entered the room and Cole said: "She's already changed into her Pj's and sleeping right now."
"Thanks." Phoebe told him.
He noticed that she was holding some medical stuff, probably to heal her bruise.
"Do you want me to do that for you?" He asked, pointing at what she was holding in her hands.
"You've already done a lot for me and Prue." Phoebe replied.
"One more thing couldn't hurt." He said.
Phoebe gave him the stuffs and Cole took care of the bruise, they both were really close and all they wanted to do was to kiss, a long, sweet and passionate kiss.
Suddenly, he remembered the talk he had heard in Piper's office: 'Phoebe loves Cole and we can't change that.'
'If only that could be true.' He thought.
"Here, it's over." He told her.
"Thank you." Phoebe said.
"Thank you for taking care of me and Prue, I don't deserve it after what I did to you." She added shamefully looking down.
"It's already forgotten, if you ever need me in the future, you know what to do." He replied.
Phoebe nodded and Cole said: "Until next time then."
Phoebe nodded once again, she didn't want him to leave, she wanted him to stay and to hold her until she falls asleep, no, in fact she wanted him to stay and hold her forever. Now he was leaving and God knows when they'd see each other again, maybe in some weeks, some months, some years... Maybe the next time would be when Prue will be 18 or more. She was at the verge of tears and her throat was really tight, just like Cole's.
"Yeah, until next time I guess." She managed to said.
With that, he shimmered out of the manor and appeared next to his car.
*-*-*-*-*-*
Jonathan was working late on a campaign, angrily complaining about his very hurt face, when he heard a knock on his door.
"And Special Delivery!" it yelled.
He opened the door and without looking. "Please, put it on the corner I'll go for your tip." He said believing it was some supplies he was waiting for. Then Cole just stepped in and said nothing.
"Where's the delivery?" Jonathan asked.
"You're Jonathan?" Cole asked.
"Yes." He nodded.
"Here it is." Cole came and with his fist broke his nose and pushed him against the wall.
"Who the hell are you?!" he asked bleeding.
"A very pissed demon daddy..." Cole replied sarcastically.
Cole came and kicked him. "If you ever..." he kicked his stomach. "... dare to touch Phoebe or Prue.." he kicked him. "...ever again in your pathetic life..." Cole picked him up by his shirt and looked at him on the eyes. "I swear hell will be Disneyland compared to where I'll send you. You get that?" He threatened him.
Jonathan just coughed. Cole just hit him on the face again and threw him to the floor. "She sent you didn't she?" Jonathan asked.
"That wasn't necessary." He said. "You fight like a girl, well not all of them, have you ever try Phoebe?" he said with a pissed joke. He turned back to leave, then he turned back, he had to say it. "By the way, Publishers are such losers... and such a gay work for a guy." His lawyer pride said and left.
"Happy Halloween!" Cole yelled as he left shouting the door behind him. Pleased that he had kicked this bastard's ass, and he knew that his daughter and the woman he loved was safe at her home. Despite all the emotional ups and downs he had gone through tonight, at least after more than a hundred years he had got a different Halloween Night.

What do you guys think??!! Review Please!!
Happy Halloween!!
"Baby's First Halloween."
Part II
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
"Trick or treat!" a group of kids sang in unison.
"Oh... what a beautiful little witch." Phoebe complimented a little girl while she put some candies on her bag with one hand while holding Prue in her other arm. "And some candies for such a handsome cowboy." As she putting more candies. "And for the scary ghost." She said with a smile.
"Thanks!! Happy Halloween!" The kids said and then ran to the next door.
Phoebe just turned and closed the door behind her again. It was just herself and Prue at the Manor. Piper was attending at P3's Halloween Eve, Paige was in the party with Alex and Leo was with the Elders.
Phoebe had to be the one on 'Trick or Treat' watching for the night; besides she had to stay with Prue. Once again the doorbell rang. More kids.
"Trick or treat!!" a couple of girls greeted and Phoebe put candies on their bags.
"Thanks, night!!!" the both girls said and ran to the next door.
Phoebe sat in the couch with Prue again, where she had been watching television. Prue's attention was focused on her mommy's make up. She found it pretty or funny, the fact was that the little girl couldn't help but place her tiny hands on Phoebe's hair and face and then she laughed when she could see her own little hands shining from the glittery from Mommy's outfit, then she was trying to get the shiny things on her hands to her mouth. "Prudence Halliwell, what are you doing?" Phoebe questioned when she realized what her baby was doing.
Phoebe headed to the kitchen with the baby in her arms and reached for a napkin to clean her little hands to prevent any incident. In the kitchen table she found one of P3's publicity for the Halloween Party. She grabbed it and a premonition hit her.
*** It was a in the parking lot of P3. A young man was walking and a big ugly green demon appeared and attacked him from behind.***
She sighed. "Oh, baby, looks like we have demon's ass to kick tonight." She said and kissed her daughter on the forehead.
She ran to the attic with Prue and went straight to the book. She started to flip pages while dialing to P3.
"P3. Trick or Treat. Happy Halloween. Piper's talking."
"Piper?"
"Phoebe?"
"Yes... look, I just had a premonition. I'm looking for the Demon on the Book." She quickly said.
"What demon?" Piper looked concerned.
"I'm looking for it." Phoebe replied. "It happens behind the club."
"What club? My club?" Piper asked.
"Yes!" Phoebe said in exasperation. In that moment Prue started crying. "Not now, honey." She said rocking her to calm her.
"Ok, what did you see?" Piper asked.
"A young guy, he was wearing a suit was attacked by an ugly demon... found it!." She said.
"What does it say?"
"Immune to witch's powers and it can be vanquished with a Power of Three spell." Phoebe read. "I got the spell. Tell Paige to orb me there while I get Leo to watch Prue." Phoebe said while holding Prue with one arm, holding the phone in her shoulder and copying the spell with the other hand.
"Phoebe, Paige is not here." Piper informed her.
"What? No, she was going to the party with Alex." Phoebe said.
"Not this party, they're not here." Piper said.
"And she left her cell phone." Phoebe said. "Oh god..."
"What about Alex?" Piper asked.
"The only way to get Alex is..." she said and then stopped. "Look, I'll get them, you try to get Leo." Phoebe said and hung up.
She knew the only way to get to Alex, was Cole. She hesitated about whether to call Cole or not.
"It seems like we'll need your daddy's help to find your auntie Paige." Phoebe said with baby voice to Phoebe.
She hesitated a little more, and then decided to go through with it. She then dialed the penthouse.
"Hey, we're not home, you know what to do." Cole's voice said.
'Damn the machine!' she thought. Then she dialed his cell phone.
"Cole Turner."
"Cole? Hi it's me, Phoebe." She said a little unsure of his reaction.
"Phoebe? Are you alright? Is there something wrong?" he asked concerned.
"Kinda, it's important, you think you can come to the Manor?" she asked.
"What is it? An emergency?" he asked.
"Yes. I'll explain you here, can you come?" she asked.
"Well, I was driving to my office, so it'll take a few minutes to drive there." He said. "I'll be there as fast as I can."
"Thanks." Phoebe sighed again.
The doorbell rang again, with kids for more candies. Phoebe replied and closed the door.
Then some minutes later the doorbell rang again, and this time there were not more children, instead it was Phoebe's hero.
"Hey, thanks for coming." She said as she led him inside and closed the door.
"What's going on?" he asked and couldn't help but eye Phoebe well. "You look amazing." He complimented her.
"Thanks." She blushed, but she had so much make up that she could almost hide it.
Then Cole starred at Prue and smiled at her, he sighed sadly. "Where's everybody?" he asked trying to put it together.
"It's just Prue and me." Phoebe replied.
"What about the party here?" he questioned.
"There's not party here. The party is at P3." She replied.
"Alex said... oh I can't believe I bought it. I'm sooo gonna kill her." He said when he realized she had fooled him again.
"First you'll have to find her." Phoebe said. "That's why we need you. Paige is with her and we don't know where."
"Weren't they at P3?" he asked.
"No." she shook her head. "I had a premonition and a demon is gonna attack and we need the power of three for that one." She added.
"Fine, I'll get them." He said as he shimmered out.
After some minutes, Cole had finally tracked Alex in a new club across town, but since the place was crowd he couldn't shimmered straight inside of it, so he shimmered on the parking lot, where he spotted Alex's car. There was a crowd on the entrance of the club and a line of at least fifty persons trying to get in. He got to the person in the door who was controlling who gets in and who doesn't.
"You got reservation?" he asked Cole.
"No." he shook his head. "But I need to get in." he insisted.
"Sorry pal, the party is only for the ones who made reservations and bought the ticket." The employee explained.
"I don't have time for this." Cole complained. "Look, I'm not here by myself, I brought some friends." He said with a casual smile.
"You're a funny guy. We don't like funny guys." The man said madly.
"You don't understand. My friends are very well known. Does Benjamin Franklin ring any bell?" he asked. "Now, how many friends do you need to get me in?" he proposed reaching his wallet.
Once inside, he spotted a pretty drunk Cher. She was hugging two other guys. "Paige?" he asked.
"Cole!!" she said laughing.
"Where's Alex?" he asked but the guys were interfering. "Excuse me, where's Alex?"
"Alex... she's... she's there." She said pointing to the stage; Cole's jaw dropped when he saw Alex dancing like crazy with the band. She was sensually dancing and throwing her stuff... stripping? Cole was red for the anger.
"Paige..." he shook her shoulders trying to get her attention. She was just laughing. "Paige..." he yelled. It was the only way, the music was soo noisy.
"Hey pal, leave her alone..." one of the guys with her warned trying to scare Cole.
"Or you what?" Cole replied.
They noticed it didn't work, so the guys walked off.
"Paige... there's a demon, and emergency an innocent." He said.
"What? Demon? Where? Oh yes, you're a demon." She said and she laughed.
He decided the follow the game. "Yes, I'm a demon, you wanna have fun?" he asked.
"Fun?"
"With magic..." Cole promised.
"Yes!" Paige said cheerfully.
"Ok, wait right here." He ordered. "If you go, no fun." He said and she nodded. He walked through the crowd to the stage to get his sister.
Alex had the attention of half of the club when she started dancing and stripping.
"Ok, this is over..." he said getting up the stage and taking her with him.
The people on the crowd started complaining about. "That guys is taking the fun away!" a guy yelled.
"What are you doing?!" Alex asked when her brother was getting her away. "Why don't you go to screw some woman and leave me alone?!!" she yelled kicking. But Cole was stronger and he could overpower her. He got her down to get Paige.
*-*-*-*-*-*
"Leo!! Leo!!" Phoebe was yelling to the ceiling. He didn't answer. She still had Prue in her arms, thankfully the little girl had stayed easy and quite for a while.
Suddenly a pissed Cole shimmered with a drunk Cher and a drunk half naked gypsy.
"Oh... dear!." Phoebe reacted when she saw them.
"Oh and you missed the best part of the show." Cole said sarcastically, but still pretty pissed.
"I can orb there myself." Paige said.
"I can shimmer as well." Alex dared.
"Try. It won't be fun because you're so drunk you won't get half way, and I'm blocking your magic, so you can't get out of here." Cole explained pretty pissed.
Phoebe sighed. "Ok, we have to do something. I'll try to sober them with one of those eggs and tomatoes mix." She said heading for the kitchen. "Cole, you turn off the light of the porch so kids will know there's not more 'Trick or Treat' in this house tonight." She said.
He nodded and did as he was told and came to the living room.
"Why don't you go and screw her in the kitchen so we can go back to our fun." Alex suggested her brother. Of course it was the alcohol talking, but still, it hurt Cole, it hurt him because Alex couldn't understand that this wasn't about sex at all. It was about being with her, holding her, kissing her, playing with his daughter, being a family. He just shrugged and walked in the kitchen where Phoebe and Prue where.
He stopped at the doorframe and watched them for a while and his heart skipped a beat when he laid his eyes on Phoebe, she was beautiful, incredibly beautiful. He smiled when realized that Prue was a little butterfly, she was really cute and she had some of her mommy's make up on her face. Cole smiled even more but this smile quickly went away when he realized that those two beauties weren't his.
Once again Prue was having fun playing with her Mommy's make up, but this time, she choose the hurt eye.
"Auch." She reacted painfully. It still hurt. "Not again." She sighed and cleaned Prue's hands before she got them to her mouth. Prue had taken off most of the make up, so now the bruise was somehow expose. Cole noticed.
"What happened to you Phoebe?" he asked concerned as he walked next to her.
"Ah... nothing... it's just, you know me... last night I got up, I was half sleepy and Bam... I hit myself with the door." She made up.
"That looks pretty bad." He said even if he wasn't buying her lie.
Giving a closer look to the bruise, he approached her slowly, the only thing keeping them apart was Prue. Cole wanted to hold the both of them forever, but he knew he couldn't and it was hard to stand. He took a huge breath to inhale her scent and closed his eyes remembering the happy moments they'd had together. Phoebe did exactly the same thing but they were interrupted by Prue, who was crying now to be in Cole's arms.
"You want to hold her?" Phoebe asked.
"I don't think that's a really good idea." Cole replied.
"Why not?" She asked.
"You know why." He said coldly.
"I'm sorry." Phoebe said, looking down and trying to calm Prue.
"It's just that I've tried to call Leo and he's not answering." She explained. "That's okay baby, shh." She said to Prue who was raising her little hand towards Cole.
Suddenly Paige came in and said, pointing to Prue: "That baby wants her Daddy and..."
She point at Phoebe and said: "That girl wants him too."
With that she burst out laughing and walked away.
The situation was now very uncomfortable for the two of them.
"Don't listen to her, she's drunk." Phoebe said, smiling.
"Yeah." Cole simply answered and Prue was still crying.
"I'm gonna hold her for a while." He finally gave up, not that it was a huge sacrifice but he really wanted to, he was dying to hold his daughter.
"Thank you." Phoebe told him handing him Prue who immediately calmed down.
"You're a big girl and a beautiful little butterfly." He said, rocking her.
Phoebe starred at them for a while, without being noticed and she was smiling because seeing Prue and Cole together was the most beautiful, cute and touching thing on earth. They were matching perfectly and their bonding link was already really strong. She started to cook for the girls.
"Isn't Jonathan here?" Cole asked.
"Huh... no..." Phoebe said without looking at him. It was one of the reasons why she was so happy this night. "...and I don't think he'll be here anymore." Phoebe answered. "He's gone, not coming back. Don't ask." She added.
Noticing in the tone of her voice that she didn't want to talk about it, Cole looked down at Prue who was slowly falling asleep. Phoebe followed his gaze and smiled.
"She feels good in your arms." She said.
Cole smiled; this moment was feeling so right for him that he couldn't help but smile.
"We both do." Phoebe mumbled silently.
"Sorry, what?" He asked.
"I said, what am I gonna do." Phoebe replied.
"You talked about eggs and tomatoes." Cole remembered her.
"Oh, yeah, silly me." Phoebe made up, she was happy that he hadn't hear what she had really said.
A moment later and after that the girl had drunk what they had called a mixture, the were both feeling better and ready to kick some demon asses and then to go back to that awesome party, but they knew that after that when the demon were dead, Alex would have to go home for Cole's big lecture, she had broken many rules.
"Ready to go?" Paige asked.
"In a second, I need to changed Prue, it's cold outside." Phoebe said.
She walked upstairs in her room followed by Cole who still holding Prue in his arms, the little girl was still sleeping and everyone was wondering how she could be sleeping in a such uncomfortable position and with all that noise around her.
Once they got in the room, Phoebe unclipped Prue's little wings and put a sweater on her.
"I don't understand why Leo isn't coming." Phoebe said.
"It's okay." Cole replied.
"I know it's not, don't lie to me." Phoebe said.
Cole sighed and said: "Even if it's not, I said I'll take care of her and that's what I'm doing."
"I really appreciate your help. Thank you."
Once Prue was ready, they returned downstairs with the girls. They all shimmered and orbed to P3.
*-*-*-*-*
They all were at P3 now, waiting for the Demon.
"It's hard to know who is a demon here with all these customs." Piper dressed as Morticia Adams complained. The place was crowd, but the party wasn't half as fun as the one Paige and Alex had attended to that night.
"Did you check the parking lot?" Phoebe asked.
Prue was still in Cole's arms, sleeping peacefully, which was good because he was technically the one who didn't have to fight.
"Why would I?" Piper asked.
"Because the premonition happens there." She replied.
"You said behind the club." Piper said.
"Did I? No! it's on the parking lot." She affirmed. They all got out.
"Him." Phoebe pointing at the same young guy she had seen in her vision.
"The one getting out of the Porsche?" Paige asked. Phoebe nodded.
The demon appeared in front of the guy and forced himself to laugh. Phoebe ran to him and kicked him in the back.
"Mommy is kicking ass baby." Cole whispered to his sleeping daughter. He kissed her on the top of the head and continued to watch the girls fighting with Alex.
When the demon got up, Piper hit him in the stomach and to finish everything, Paige gave him a high kick. This demon was a real loser, unable to fight so the Charmed Ones immediately started to recite the spell and the demon disappeared into flames.
"Are you guys the Witch version of Charlie's Angels?" Alex asked once the demon was gone.
"Who are you? What happened?" The guy they just saved asked.
"We'll explain everything inside." Piper told him.
Everybody walked inside except Cole who was waiting for Phoebe to join him, which she did.
She smiled and said: "She's still sleeping."
"Yeah, she missed the scene of her Mommy kicking demon ass." Cole replied, smiling as well.
Phoebe smiled back and said: "Let's go back inside, it's getting cold."
Once inside, they all sat at a calm table where the music wasn't too loud so that they could talk and explain to the innocent they just saved what happened to him.
Paige was sitting between Piper and Alex, Alex was next to the innocent. Cole and Phoebe where in Piper's office so, Prue wouldn't wake up because of the noise.
"So... What happened?" The guy asked.
"Hi, I'm Alex." The demon girl said; with a smile and shaking hands.
The guy smiled back at her.
'What a smile, he's so hot." Alex thought.
"Hi, I'm Michael Kauffman, but everyone calles me Mike." The guy told her, looking at her in the eyes.
'I like that name.' Alex thought once again.
"You can let his hand go now." Paige whispered.
Alex noticed that she was still holding Mike's hand so she let it go.
"Well, the guy you saw is a demon and we're witches." Alex started to explain; she didn't want to tell the guy that she was a demon otherwise he might be scared, but a good demon who saves innocent if she wants to keep living with her demonic brother.
Piper rolled her eyes when she heard Alex saying that she was a witch.
"And you saved me." Mike said.
"Yeah, we did, well, they did, coz they're the Charmed Ones and they have a lot of powers, but I can kick asses too." Alex said.
"And save me." The guy repeated.
"Yeah." Alex told him.
Seeing that Alex was clearly interested by Mike, Paige took Piper's hand and they both walked towards the bar.
In Piper's office, Prue was starting to wake up and to cry.
"I think she wants her Mommy now." Cole said, handing the baby to Phoebe.
"Thanks." She told him.
"Hey baby, hello, slept well in your... in Cole's arms?" She said.
Prue stopped crying and played again with Phoebe's make up.
"Your bruise looks pretty bad. That was a really angry door." Cole commented.
"It's okay, it doesn't even hurt." Phoebe replied.
"You never could lie to me, I know it hurts." Cole told her.
"I'm okay Cole." She said.
Cole realized he was passing the line, this invisible line between the two of them that was stopping them to be too close, or too show their emotions.
"I'm going to get a drink, you want something?" He asked.
"No, thanks." She replied.
Cole nodded and walked out of the office.
Meanwhile, in the club, Alex was still talking with Mike.
"Do you think you have something the demon could be interested?" Alex asked the tall, good looking guy.
"I have money." He replied.
She smiled and shook her head.
"A Porsche?" he asked. And she shook her head again.
"That I'm a lawyer?" he asked doubtfully.
"I don't know." Alex said.
"A house on the beach?" he asked.
'Marry me.' Alex thought. Then she saw Cole passing. "Cole..." she called and he came. "I want you to meet Mike."
"Michael Kauffman." He introduced himself. He said his full name. Cole liked that, not like a few days ago the other guy had introduced himself as just 'Bob'. I mean Bob who? Cole noticed that if he said his full name, it meant he was a serious person.
"Cole Turner." They shook hands.
"Cole Turner? Partner of Jackman, Carter and Kline, that Cole Turner?" he asked.
Cole nodded. "Do I know you from somewhere?" he asked.
"I don't think so, but I've heard so much from you." He said with excitement.
"Really?" Cole asked.
"Are you kidding me? I've followed your career for years. I'm a really big admirer of your work." He said.
"Well, thanks." Cole said smiling.
"In Yale you're a celebrity." He added.
"So are you a lawyer from Yale?" Cole asked.
"Yes. The way you litigated on court to win the DePandi's case 8 months ago... brilliant." The young lawyer complimented. "And all those cases you've hit, amazing." He added.
Cole was starting to love this guy. "Did you meet my sister?" he asked smiling. This was the kind of guys he wanted for her.
During this time, Phoebe had gone out of the office because she needed a napkin to clean the make up on Prue's hands. She walked behind the bar and took what she needed.
"How's my favorite little niece?" Paige asked.
"She just woke up, she's doing good." Phoebe replied.
Suddenly, Piper and Paige saw Leo orbing in the office so they both walked in it while Phoebe stayed at the bar, serving herself a mineral water and a bottle of milk for her daughter.
"Are you avoiding Phoebe?" Paige asked to her big sister.
Cole walked back towards the office to find Phoebe, not knowing that she was at the bar and he heard the conversation, which was taking place in the office.
"It's very unfair the way you're treating Phoebe." Paige repeated.
"It's very unfair the way she screwed it with Jonathan." Piper replied.
"Not again with that." Paige complained. "It was going to happen, sooner or later, I told you so." Paige said.
"I can't believe what she did to him." Piper said shaking her head.
"What about what he did to her?" Paige asked back.
"When you call your boyfriend by your ex's name, he gets piss." Piper said.
"You see all the make up she's wearing tonight? It's to try to hide what that ass did to her, and she doesn't say anything, but she feels humiliated, ashamed and guilty." Paige explained.
"Ok, Jonathan overreacted a little." Piper admitted.
"A little?" Leo intervened. "Would you like me to hit you if you said Dan's name?" he asked.
"And what about all those awful things he said about Prue?" Paige threw.
"So, you're on Cole's side now?" Piper asked.
"Would you forget Cole for a moment? Your obsession with him is getting serious." Leo said.
"Obsession? He tried to kill us!" she yelled Piper.
"It was the Source." she replied.
"And I see you're spending to much time with the demon kid as well." Piper said bitching about Alex.
"She's my friend. Let her out of this." Paige said.
"Now, you two answer this to me? What the hell is Phoebe going to do now? She's alone again, and this guy was minded to marry her, now he's gone." Piper pointed.
"First at all, he's a bastard. Second at all, Phoebe doesn't need anybody and she hated him." Paige replied.
"She didn't hate him. Everything started when Cole came back." Piper replied.
"Wrong." Paige said.
"We thank god Phoebe doesn't have a blowing power, otherwise Jonathan would be long gone." Leo added. "Look, Piper... Phoebe loves Cole and we can't change that."
"She loved Jonathan." Piper insisted.
"She never loved Jonathan... she just didn't want to feel alone, but it didn't work out anyway." Paige said.
"You're saying that because you never liked Jonathan." Piper said.
"Can you blame me?" her sister asked. "He was a loser bastard that hit women." She added.
"Right. But being a demon for a hundred years and kill people is fine." Piper said. "I'm telling you, Phoebe screwed it big this time."
"Why? Because she finally dumped him? And what about-" Paige continued but Leo cut off.
"Enough of that, all this talking will lead to nowhere." Leo stated.
"I have news from the Elders about the innocent you saved tonight." He added.
Cole had heard enough to understand what really had happened to Phoebe, he was sure it wasn't the door but he didn't want to push her by forcing her to tell him what happened. He had lost the right to make that kind of question to her a long time ago.
He walked towards the bar, looking for Phoebe and Prue.
When he found them Phoebe said: "I think she'll be better in her crib at home, I'm gonna call a cab and go home."
"I can drive you there if you want." He proposed.
"What about Alex? Are you going to leave her here?" She asked.
"Yeah, looks like she's flirting with the innocent so, I'll take you home and come back here to pick up Alex." He said.
"Hold it." She said. "She's flirting with a guy and you're gonna let her?" she asked him. It was not like him.
"He's a lawyer graduated from Yale who admires my work." He replied.
"Oh." Phoebe nodded. "And that's good?" she asked.
"Well, I graduated from Harvard, but Yale is good enough as well. Besides, she'll be grounded for so long that I'll let her enjoy tonight." He added.
"Okay, let's go then." Phoebe said with a smile.
*-*-*-*-*-*-*
"Here we are." Phoebe said as they entered her room.
"You want to hold her for a while until she gets to sleep?" She asked to Cole.
"Yeah, why not." He replied.
"Here, sit down on the bed, she likes it when I do that." She said.
"Do what?" Cole asked.
"Sit down on my bed and talk to her." Phoebe replied.
She handed him his daughter and said: "I'm gonna get changed into my Pj's and I'll be back to change her."
Cole nodded and as Phoebe walked out of the room and looked down at Prue.
"Talk to you? What can I tell you honey?" He asked.
Prue giggled, obviously, she was enjoying this moment.
"Okay... huh, I had a nice night, it was good being with you and your Mommy for a while." He said.
"And you're the cutest little butterfly I ever saw in my life." He added with a smile.
"Now, I'm going to change you before you fall asleep." He said.
He changed her into her Pj's that he had found next to her crib and also changed her diaper. He put her in her crib and said: "Now close your eyes beautiful and sleep tight."
As if she could understand her father, Prue closed her eyes and fell asleep.
"I won't be here tomorrow but I love you." He said as he kissed her on the top of the little head.
Phoebe entered the room and Cole said: "She's already changed into her Pj's and sleeping right now."
"Thanks." Phoebe told him.
He noticed that she was holding some medical stuff, probably to heal her bruise.
"Do you want me to do that for you?" He asked, pointing at what she was holding in her hands.
"You've already done a lot for me and Prue." Phoebe replied.
"One more thing couldn't hurt." He said.
Phoebe gave him the stuffs and Cole took care of the bruise, they both were really close and all they wanted to do was to kiss, a long, sweet and passionate kiss.
Suddenly, he remembered the talk he had heard in Piper's office: 'Phoebe loves Cole and we can't change that.'
'If only that could be true.' He thought.
"Here, it's over." He told her.
"Thank you." Phoebe said.
"Thank you for taking care of me and Prue, I don't deserve it after what I did to you." She added shamefully looking down.
"It's already forgotten, if you ever need me in the future, you know what to do." He replied.
Phoebe nodded and Cole said: "Until next time then."
Phoebe nodded once again, she didn't want him to leave, she wanted him to stay and to hold her until she falls asleep, no, in fact she wanted him to stay and hold her forever. Now he was leaving and God knows when they'd see each other again, maybe in some weeks, some months, some years... Maybe the next time would be when Prue will be 18 or more. She was at the verge of tears and her throat was really tight, just like Cole's.
"Yeah, until next time I guess." She managed to said.
With that, he shimmered out of the manor and appeared next to his car.
*-*-*-*-*-*
Jonathan was working late on a campaign, angrily complaining about his very hurt face, when he heard a knock on his door.
"And Special Delivery!" it yelled.
He opened the door and without looking. "Please, put it on the corner I'll go for your tip." He said believing it was some supplies he was waiting for. Then Cole just stepped in and said nothing.
"Where's the delivery?" Jonathan asked.
"You're Jonathan?" Cole asked.
"Yes." He nodded.
"Here it is." Cole came and with his fist broke his nose and pushed him against the wall.
"Who the hell are you?!" he asked bleeding.
"A very pissed demon daddy..." Cole replied sarcastically.
Cole came and kicked him. "If you ever..." he kicked his stomach. "... dare to touch Phoebe or Prue.." he kicked him. "...ever again in your pathetic life..." Cole picked him up by his shirt and looked at him on the eyes. "I swear hell will be Disneyland compared to where I'll send you. You get that?" He threatened him.
Jonathan just coughed. Cole just hit him on the face again and threw him to the floor. "She sent you didn't she?" Jonathan asked.
"That wasn't necessary." He said. "You fight like a girl, well not all of them, have you ever try Phoebe?" he said with a pissed joke. He turned back to leave, then he turned back, he had to say it. "By the way, Publishers are such losers... and such a gay work for a guy." His lawyer pride said and left.
"Happy Halloween!" Cole yelled as he left shouting the door behind him. Pleased that he had kicked this bastard's ass, and he knew that his daughter and the woman he loved was safe at her home. Despite all the emotional ups and downs he had gone through tonight, at least after more than a hundred years he had got a different Halloween Night.
