Thank you very much for spending your time in my fic. Your reviews are indispencable to the growing of it.

A/N: Thanks to all of you for reading and telling me what you're thinking. I respect all of your reviews, including 2 reviews that saying this story's not good as my "Escape the Demon". Of course, I'm very down-hearted to know you don't like it, especially when I'm nurturing a lot of ideas for it. I'm making efforts to write, so please please please keep patient and continue reading. I'm not a good writer, I'd just like to share my muses to you as well as take a tiny part in keeping the idol of love – Cole Turner – living in Charmed World forever by go on writing Charmed stories with him in it. S.6 is ending, S.7 will be started, there're still a lot of fan fictions where he's never died. I LOVE YOU, COLE

CHAPTER 1 : PAST-LIVED LOVE.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Part 3.

A week had passed, the family tried to keep a normal living. Leo had used to get close to Cole in the past, but he's making a big effort to be polite to him now as he knew Cole wouldn't stay long this time. Paige had never been friendly to her demonic brother-in-law so she didn't need to act much. On the contrary, Phoebe's trying to show that she loved him.

Piper still couldn't convince herself that luring Cole to absorb the potion was a right thing. She saw Paige soaking his glass everyday and he used it with no doubt making her feel guilty more and more. He's getting himself in danger just for love. But he wasn't happy since Phoebe fondled him in front of them but kept a distance with him when they're alone. She consoled him that she needed time, he accepted it anyway. He's working hard to catch up with his job in the law firm, even brought the files to work at home while Phoebe going out for reception or writing some articles for her paper. At least that's what she told him for the reason. He seemed to believe her, and he's willing to wait until she's ready. It's better than being alone at the penthouse with nothing to do but drinking.

Actually Phoebe's at the P3 to flirt someone and get some sex before coming home to talk to Cole that she needed more time. Piper felt sympathy for him from the bottom of her heart since she was the one who knew it clearly, but couldn't say anything to him. Ironical that the demon was being cheated by the human he loved.

Phoebe's walking to the counter, looking so suggestive in her scanty clothes, she towed a tall man with her.

"Piper!" – called her.

Piper turned around.

"This's Jason." – introduced Phoebe – "My sister, Piper."

"Hi!" – smirked Jason lewdly.

"Hi!" – said Piper. She didn't think she liked him.

"I'm going out with him." – said Phoebe – "Phone me if you need me."

"OK." – promised Piper.

They're talking about demon attack, and if Piper needed the Power of Three. Phoebe and Jason left the club together. Piper sighed, she remembered Cole and wondered what he's doing while his wife's screwing someone else. She lifted the receiver up, hesitated a second, and dialed the home numbers. There're a few of rings before someone answered her call.

"Hello?"

Piper startled a bit hearing his voice.

"Cole? It's Piper."

"Yeah."

"What are you doing? If feeling lonely, you can join us at P3." – proposed her.

"Phoebe's there?" – asked Cole.

"No." – Piper paused, she really felt pity for him, her younger sister should've respected the man loved her that much.

"I'm preparing some things for my work tomorrow. It'll be a busy day for me." – refused him.

"So back to your work." -  Piper's going to cut off.

"Piper," – called Cole. She lingered a little.

"Thank you." – continued him. He meant if she's caring for him, she forgave him.

She didn't know how to answer, she just hung it up, speechless. Leo and Paige came.

"Where's Phoebe?" – asked Paige.

"Out with Jason." – replied Piper.

"Awww, she seems so mad on this guy." – commented Paige.

"Does he know she's a married woman?" - blurted Piper.

"Dunno. Who cares?" – snickered Paige.

"Piper, we're planning to find if our potion works out." – said Leo.

"How?" – asked her.

"Boiling water!" – smiled Paige – "We'll see whether he's scalded."

Piper gasped, but tried to calm herself down. Her heart's throbbing, she hoped Cole's still powerful enough to heal himself. If not, it's time for them to come to the next step.

Leo heard the Elders calling him.

"Uh, I have to go." – he smiled at his wife and orbed out.

---------------------------------------------------------

Piper was running along the large corridor leading to the stair. The place looked like an ancient palace and she's in a traditional costume.

"Cole!. . . Cole!. . ." – shouted her in anxiety.

She went downstairs and continued to run through a lot of splendid rooms before entering the room where Cole was lying on the ground, wet with blood. She swooped down next to him and lifted his head in her lap. He raised his hand and she grabbed it immediately.

"Piper!" – whispered him in exhausted voice.

Her emotion's rising up endlessly, she bursted in sobbing . . .

Piper was startled into opening her eyes and looking around, realising she's in her own room. All she'd seen was just a nightmare, but it's so real and horrible. Why did she dream about Cole? Perhaps because she's worrying for him, she didn't know what would happen after the test tomorrow.

---------------------------------------------------------

The next morning, the family was sitting around the table for breakfast, except Leo's still up there. Piper tried to focus on her work and not looking at Cole while Paige's carrying a boiling water pot from the cooker to make coffee. She simulated to trip over and fall on him, pouring the water on half his body.

"Oh my God!" – exclaimed Phoebe, but she tried to hold him to sit still on his chair so that Paige could do her job easily.

Piper closed her eyes, she'd never thought the Charmed Ones would treat demon by that way. Cole's suit was soaked by the boiling water and his skin on his hand was raising blisters.

"Oh Cole! I'm sorry!" – pretended Paige.

"No matter." – said him in tolerance.

His suit's dry magically and his skin turned to normal itself. Phoebe's and Paige's eyes were wide-opened in despair. But a second later, Phoebe remembered her role.

"What were you doing, Paige?" – shouted her. She rubbed his hand and asked him tenderly:

"Are you really ok, baby?"

"Yeah."

"I don't know how I should do if you get hurt." – she hugged him closely, kissing on his cheek and neck.

"Don't worry. I'm fine." – he kept her in his embrace feeling happy with her attitude.

"How about you, Paige? Any hurt?" – asked Piper.

"A little. But it's ok." – answered her.

Leo orbed in.

"What's happened?" – he knew their test that morning, and wanted to know the result.

"All of us are fine" – Paige emphasized the word 'all' to imply their failure.

He nodded, and turned to his wife:

"Piper, I'm assigned to train a new whitelighter. It takes me about a month out." – stated Leo.

"So you're throwing us to the wolves?" – asked Phoebe hinting that Cole's in their family.

"You still can call me if it's really necessary. But I hope you all will manage without me. I can't refuse this task, I know it'll be bustling though." – persuaded Leo.

"Don't worry, Leo. I'll take care all of them. I'll try to keep them from getting hurt." – promised Cole.

Leo gave him a nod. He remembered Cole had been in company with Piper and Phoebe to hunt demons before.

"I want to talk to you, Leo!" – said Piper.

Leo held his wife and they orbed to their room.

They both sat on the bed. He started first:

"I know you don't like it. But we have to, Piper. We've learned our lesson."

"I have." – nodded her – "But I really need you."

"I'm just out for a month. I'll be on your side then, I'll be on your side when you're in labour. After all we've promised them that our marriage won't affect my job." – said him softly.

"Why did they choose you?" – she didn't know if the Elders wanted to make her life harder.

"Training a whitelighter needs a lot of time. She's learnt all theories, and I'm teaching her the practice. Actually I just help her basic principles. – explained him – "I'm the whitelighter of the best witches, so they think I can do it better than the others."

"I'm proud of you." – smiled Piper – "About Cole, what I have to do now? The potion hasn't weakened him. And I'm still undecided thinking about it. If he find out the scheme and. . . I can't imagine what he'll do."

"Tell them to be patient. He's just drunk it for a week. Maybe it isn't enough. We have to think of our daughter, Piper. She needn't have an insane demon to be her uncle."

Leo had made his opinion clear, she knew he never had the same mind with her. They kissed each other before Leo orbing out.
