Chapter two
Cole sat next to Phoebe. She looked at him.
"Cole... why is this so hard?" She said quietly.
"I don't know," He admitted, "I don't even know how we got here, why were
not still at the manor fighting evil,"
"Yeah now we're the evil," Phoebe sighed, "The big bad,"
"Yeah... Scary isn't it?" He replied.
"I hate it," She blurted, "I wish we were normal humans married and about
to have a child,"
"The tonic..." He started.
"No," She snapped, then she softened, "If I'm going to be evil it's going
to be my choice,"
"Alright," he agreed, "I won't force you, and I'll make sure the Seer
doesn't too,"
"Thank you," She responded, then she snuggled into him.
There were a few minutes of silence. The source inside Cole knew that just
a moment like this made him weaker. But he also knew there was nothing he
could do, Without Phoebe, Cole's side would surface because of his
suffering, and with her Cole would be close to his and Phoebe's love and
he'd be weakened. But it did seem safer to keep her there. Cole was sad
that Phoebe had to be this way, but secretly happy that she had chosen him,
although he felt bad about that. The source part of him dulled the grief.
"Cole?" Phoebe asked.
"Yes?" Cole replied.
"Do you think our child's going to be a boy or girl?" She questioned.
"The Seer said it'd be a boy," He answered.
"I know, but maybe she's wrong, and I don't want to know what she thinks, I
want to know what you think," Phoebe Said.
"I think it should be a girl, but I don't care either way because I'm going
to love them no matter what," Cole responded, "What do you think?"
"I think... a girl, because you think it's going to be a girl," She smiled
slightly, "and I'd say anything to contradict the Seer,"
Cole laughed, "Don't like her I guess?"
"Not at all," Phoebe replied.
Piper sat in the middle of the attic on the floor. Her eyes were wide her
cheeks tear stricken. But the tears had stopped. It had been hours and Leo
hadn't returned. Paige was in her room. Piper wasn't sure if she was
sleeping or crying. Today for them had been terrible. But Piper had managed
to stay calm so far. She didn't know why. Leo appeared behind her.
"Piper?" He called.
She turned her head and said, "Leo, why were you gone so long?"
"Lots of reasons, but before I share them I want to know how you are," He
said slowly sitting next to her.
"I don't know," She admitted, "I'm taking this fairly well all things
considered,"
"Do you know why?" He questioned.
"I have a hunch," She sighed sadly, "I don't know if it's the real reason,
of course I don't know what's real now,"
"Tell me," he said touching her cheek lightly.
"I know all of this is real, but I don't... I'm afraid to admit it to myself,
Half of me believes I'm crazy and still in that hospital and Phoebe just
became sane, like what they said about Prue. She got well and left, I just
keep thinking this is a dream and soon Phoebe's going to come in as say,
"Hey get up you lazy bum," but it's not but that doesn't stop me from
thinking it, I've had dreams that things like this have happened. But then
I wake up and it's all better. It never happened,"
"I understand Piper," He held her closely.
"I feel bad for not being hysterical with grief... but it's not like that,
and that kills me, I don't understand why I can't be hysterical, and know
what's real," She said.
"You don't have to feel bad Piper, I don't know if this is comforting or
not but soon you will,"
Leo replied, then he kissed her, "I love you... If that helps,"
Piper faked a smile, "I love you too."
Paige sat on her bed, she had yet to get dressed for bed. She was to busy
crying. She'd only known Phoebe for a few months and she already loved
Phoebe like a sister, which she was. She knew it was harder for Piper to
except that they lost Phoebe. Paige still had hope, but it was low. She
even began to like Cole before he turned evil, not much... but a little. She
had no hope for him.
Phoebe and Cole were still on the couch, He had fallen asleep She couldn't
sleep. She was too perplexed. Phoebe was still leaning into him. She tried
to think of what the future of Cole and hers might be, they'd stay
together, eventually have they're baby. Then they'd raise it to be evil, no
extra special sports, the Seer would probably teach them school stuff.
They'd never have any human friends. No going to see games or recitals.
Cole would probably be gone a lot with rituals and stuff and she'd barely
see him. He wouldn't play with his Child, unless it was something stupid
like Demon training. But she had no idea what her role would be, so far it
had been hanging around waiting for him, or killing some Demon who annoyed
her.
"My child's going to kill people, innocent people," She thought, it had
occurred to her. She didn't want her child to be evil, but how could it not
be? It wasn't for her to decide. They're had to be a way to stop that. She
looked up at Cole, He looked so adorable when he slept. She wondered how he
would feel to watch his child kill innocent people. Phoebe had to do
something, for her Child's sake.
Cole sat next to Phoebe. She looked at him.
"Cole... why is this so hard?" She said quietly.
