Piper snuggled into Cole's embrace. She had never felt this happy before. She was going to have a baby, and she had an incredible man to share her family with.
Piper had gone to the doctor yesterday. He had confirmed she was almost four weeks pregnant. Piper's mind was whirling already. Where were they going to live? The manor or the penthouse? When could she get her breaking of hand fast from Leo? What would they name the baby? Were her and Cole going to be married someday?
Piper grinned as she thought about everything. Her mind was in heaven. She felt Cole stirring beside her as he woke up.
"Hey baby" she said to him, kissing him softly.
"Hey yourself beautiful." he whispered, taking her beauty in. She looked better then he ever imagined first thing in the morning.
The couple laid there, looking at each other for what seemed like hours. Finally Cole spoke up. "Piper, can I talk to you about something?"
Piper was instantly worried, he sounded so serious. "Sure, you can talk to be about anything Cole." she said, reaching up and stroking his cheek.
"I'm scared Piper. I never thought about having kids before. What if I'm no good at it? What if I really mess up? This baby is going to be half witch, half demon. What if she or he becomes evil? It would be my fault." Cole admitted. He hated admitting to being scared of anything, but having a baby was real, and he didn't want to mess up.
"Cole! Your going to be an amazing father. All parents mess up every once in awhile, rather they are mortal or not. We are going to have a beautiful baby, I promise. And our baby won't be evil, because your not evil. We are going to protect this beautiful baby of ours, I promise." Piper reached up and kissed him again.
"I love you Piper. And, I love you little one." he said to he stomach. "I just still can't believe this is all happening."
"I know, I feel like this is just an incredible dream. But it's not. I am really laying here with the love of my life. I am really going to be a mommy. I have my sisters, and I have Prue back." Piper said.
Cole started a trail of kisses down Piper's neck. "So, do you want to make this dream even more incredible?" he said with a naughty grin.
"Oh yeah." she giggled back, moving into his embrace.
Leo looked over at Holly. He knew she could tell something as wrong. He just didn't know what exactly was wrong. He loved Holly. He really did. She looked a lot like Piper. Beautiful brown hair, doe eyes, a sexy smile. They had so much in common, including a devotion to the magic and the elders.
He went down to earth, expecting to break Piper's heart, and instead his heart was broken. That's the part he didn't understand. He had fallen in love with Holly. He knew that. So why did it bother him so much that Piper was with Cole? Why did it feel like a knife to the heart that Piper was having a baby with Cole? They had tried for months to have a baby and couldn't. One night with Cole and she was pregnant.
Holly walked over and put her arm around Leo. "Why don't you tell me the truth?" she said to him, studying his face.
"I don't know what you are talking about." he told her, faking a smile.
"Leo, every since you went down there to tell Piper about us, you have been different. What happened? Did she take the news that bad?" Holly stroked his hair as she spoke.
"No, she took it okay.. She had her sisters with her." Leo didn't want to tell Holly about Cole and Piper. He didn't know why, he just didn't want to share it.
Leo shrugged her arms off of him. "I'm going to go take care of a few things." he told Holly, walking out of the room and leaving her staring at him wondering what was going on.
Leo orbed down to the park across from Cole's penthouse. Were they there now? He wondered. Were they in bed together? Legs tangled under the sheets? Were they whispering about their love? Talking about their baby?
Leo held his head in his hands. If he didn't love Piper, why was he so jealous now? Was it possible that he did still love Piper? That the things he thought he felt for Holly weren't real? He didn't know what to think. He knew a lot of what he felt was because it was Cole. She had falling in love with a demon. She had been willing to break Leo's heart for Cole.
Why? What did Cole have that Leo didn't? Leo sighed again. He had to figure himself out. He did love Holly. Maybe he just loved them both. If he did love him both, then in all fairness he had to go with Holly, and let Piper live out her dreams. Leo knew that he would be able to do that, and accept what Piper wanted, if it had been any other man. But because it was Cole, Leo hadn't been able to do that. What was he going to do?
