GrantingTroyTurner & Charmed-Snow
Thank you very much for spending your time in our fic. Your reviews are indispencable to the growing of it.

We're not sure that's all on FF.net, but these are the stories we've read and loved so much. Please check us (GrantingTroyTurner and Charmed-Snow) now and then, maybe we'll have other Pi/C fics in the future :) :) :)
CHAPTER 3 : WHO IS CHRIS?
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Part 3.
"Piper?" – surprised Cole to see her in the doorstep.
"Dinner." – she gave him a kit. He's speechless staring at her.
"I think it's better than your canned food."
"Thank you." – murmured Cole. He didn't expect she's much concerned with him like that. He still wasn't calm down after their accidental meet that afternoon. Her action touched him deeply.
Piper took a look around his living room that everything were lying about disorderly.
"You're so untidy!" – commented her.
She walked in and gathered empty cans on the table and the ground.
"No, Piper!" – protested Cole.
"What? You still drink?" – she saw some of brandy bottles lying about.
"Just a little." – mumbled him.
Piper threw garbages to the trashcan, and intended to clean the house up.
"Piper!" – called him, he waved his hands, everything in the house magically returned to where they're supposed to be.
"So you're too lazy to even raise your hands!" – joked her.
"Piper," – Cole turned her to look at him – "You've got enough households at the Manor to do. It's not necessary to take care of me."
He thought it's better for her, but she thought different. It wasn't she didn't understand his meaning, but it reminded her that he wasn't her husband, that wasn't her house, she got no right to poke her nose in. And those thoughts hurt her.
"You should get married." – stammered Piper.
He shook his head: "I've learnt my lesson how painful to be married to the wrong one."
He needn't to say who's the right. They'd vowed to love for eternity, but they realised together again too late, she'd already married.
"I can't stand to see no one care for you." – choked Piper.
"Would you rather see me with another woman?" – asked Cole.
She knew it's unfair to make him live alone while she had a family. He needed to be loved, to be cared, he needed someone to make up for so much loss he'd got. But love was selfish. The scene of him and Phoebe she'd seen the other night had broken her heart, she never wanted to see a woman in his embrace ever again.
"No." – mumbled her.
Cole smiled, and pulled her in his arms, he kissed her passionately, she didn't resist him, she could never resist him. She responded his kiss instantly, but it wasn't really right. The feeling of guilty rised up. She broke it.
"Sorry." – murmured Piper – "I shouldn't betray Leo."
"I understand." – nodded him.
"Don't worry for me." – said Cole – "I promise I won't drink anymore. And I'll learn to cook."

Phoebe regained her senses, and managed to get up. She found the book still lay on the stand, and the other stand kept empty as before.
"Thank you for your help." – said the dark priest.
"What've you done?" – asked her.
"Nothing important, at least for you, for now." – answered him – "Now my turn, I'll use a spell to help you."
"You're using dark magic on me?" – said Phoebe disgustedly.
"You refuse my help?"
Phoebe didn't answer, implying her acceptance. The dark priest started to chant and lifted his hand over her head. He lowered it gradually. When he finished, she felt something strange. The priest waved his hand and a mirror appeared in front of her. It reflected Piper's image.
"What?" – gasped Phoebe.
"Now you can ask who loves this woman to do whatever you want." – explained the priest.
"What?" – asked Phoebe again.
"It means the demon loves her, that's why you've changed to her form."
"He doesn't love her. He loves me." – argued Phoebe.
"You want to kill the one loves you?"
"None of your business."
"Of course," – nodded the priest – "Go for your goal. Just ask him, he'll do it."
He used his power to bring her back to the Manor with the book. He's really curious whether she would finish her job. Cole Turner had to be the most powerful demon ever existed, and she's a Charmed One. The dark priest wondered if Chris refered to their son, the right one to be The Source.

Cole and Piper blurred in her own room. She'd taken a taxi to go to his penthouse, and he suggested to bring her home.
"Good bye!" – said him.
"Bye!" – she looked at him intensely.
He tried to smile slightly. Of a sudden, Piper bent down in pain. Cole hurrily help her sit on the bed.
"It's ok," – murmured her – "The baby's just kicked."
Cole laughed, he looked at her and her stomach adorably.
"May I?" – asked him in a low voice.
Piper nodded. He put his hand on her to feel the gentle move of the baby. It's rather long since Piper'd seen him with a big smile. They'd used to expecting a child in past life. Her heart knew she still wanted to have children with him in that current one.
"Hello baby!" – grinned Cole. He looked up to her a second, and pressed his head against her stomach. The baby satisfied with his position, not moving anymore. Cole kissed where the baby'd just kicked.
"Little angel, not to make your mom pain so much!" – whispered him.
"Do you want to be his godfather?" – asked Piper.
Cole's eyes sparkled, but faded right after that.
"But I'm a de. . . Leo never agree."
"He's my son. And I want you to be his godfather." – insisted her.
"Your son?"
"Yeah, he's a boy." – said her – "You've saved both of us, Cole!"
"Thank you, Piper." – he choked in emotion.

Phoebe appeared in the attic, she put the book on its stand, and went down. She met Paige in the living room.
"Piper!" – called Paige.
Phoebe remembered she's taking her form, she nodded.
"Oh, your stomach. . ." – Paige pointed at her flat one.
"I'm not pregnant." – answered Phoebe.
Paige believed her since she loved Piper.
"Oh, sorry."
"Good." – said Phoebe satisfactorily – "Take me to Cole."
"Why?" – asked Paige unintelligently.
"I'm going to kill him." – she wanted to know how Paige would react.
"OK." – agreed her younger sister.
Phoebe smiled, Paige didn't say she's paranoid or oppose her. It meant the spell worked well. She held out her hand and Paige orbed them out.

Paige orbed back to the Manor seeing Piper going down the stairs.
"Piper, why have you turn back so soon? How the job?" – stunned her.
"What job?"
"Kill Cole." – answered Paige innocently.
"I didn't come there to kill him."
"You've told me that." – argued her sister.
"What?" - gasped Piper – "When?"
"When you asked me to orb you there."
"Phoebe." – murmured Piper.
"No, it's you. I left you there."
"So who am I here?"
"You?" – confused Paige – "You're the second Piper."
She's in conflict with herself: "I don't know what I'm talking" – mumbled Paige – "But she told me that. And I think I should do that."
It had to be Phoebe. Piper didn't know a demon wanted to kill Cole. If possible, that demon wouldn't've asked Paige to orb her to the penthouse. She guessed Phoebe's taking her form. But she had no idea why Phoebe thought she could use her form to seduce him. However, Paige seemed to be under a spell, maybe it would happen the same to him. If he did what he was told like Paige, he would be killed that time.
"Cole!"
She had to inform him, she had to save him.
"Paige, orb me to them!" – asked Piper.
"No. I don't want to be back and see the third Piper ask me the same thing again." – refused Paige.
"What're you talking? Just orb me there, we have no time." – shouted Piper.
"No." – she pulled a wry face and orbed out.
Piper trembled, she tried to dial the penthouse's phone numbers and his cell phone. No one answered to her.
"Cole, where're you?" – she didn't have the slightest clue where they were, and no one around to help her.
"Leo!" – a thought flashed in her mind, it's the last chance. "Leo!" – cried Piper.
Familiar orb light formed into her husband.
"Leo!"
"Piper? What's up?" – asked him.
"Orb me to Cole."
"What?"
"Phoebe's trying to kill him."
"So the potion works?" – smiled Leo.
"We can't waste time. Please! Hurry up!" – pleaded Piper.
"What? You call me to save him? You ask me to destroy our plan?"
"He's saved me, and your baby, Leo. Twice, when you're out." – sobbed his wife.
"And he'll harm you twenty times later." – said him – "Calm down, Piper! We can't refuse our chance just for it."
"What you mean "just for it"? He saved us and it isn't worth anything for you?" – said her disappointedly.
"Piper!" – Leo shook his head – "You're in emotion. I don't mean it. It's just we have to do what we have to do."
"No, you're refusing what you have to do."
"Piper, I'm completing my job. I'm going to come back lately tonight. We'll talk later."
"No, Leo!" – she grabbed his hand.
"Calm down! Calm down!" – chided him – "Please, Piper!" He flicked her hand off, and orbed out.
"Leo!" – cried her - "Cole!"
