This chapter is really short. Hey, give me a brake. I'm at 80,000 words. Sorry about Cole. He was suppose to die from the beginning. It's sad. I know. I didn't want him to die either. They better bring him back in the series. Well, here's the last chapter. Enjoy.
Putting the Pieces Back Together Again
Everything had returned to normal again. People were living their ordinary lives as if nothing had ever happened, as if evil had never reared its ugly face. Unfortunately, all the lives lost could not be replaced. Everyone forgot what had happened to them in the past week, everyone except for the Halliwells.
In the manor, everything had pretty much returned to normal. Piper was working at P3 again and had Wyatt and Chris to take care of. She was disappointed though. After all the years of fighting warlocks and demons, she finally got her wish; to have a normal life. She almost missed blowing up demons.
Leo was still looking after charges and going to see the Elders. He was, however, able to spend more time with his sons. Sometimes he regretted it. He never thought those two innocent boys would be so energetic. But he loved them both just the same.
Paige had returned to magic school. In fact, now that Richard was gone, she started to form a relationship with Kevin. Who would have thought that an Elder could fall in love with a hybrid whitelighter witch?
Prue had spent most of her time attending to charges like Leo. She spent her spare time catching up with her sisters. She and Paige had gotten really close. They were the most alike of course. They told stories and said how much they had in common. Prue started to teach Paige how to enhance her powers. She even taught Paige how to heal others.
The only person that was having a hard time adjusting was Phoebe. She had gone back to work. She even got a raise for the countless extra hours she had put in. She finally asked for some time off so she could take care of her sick cousin, which was a lie. She left work and went home.
Opening Credits
When Phoebe got home, no one was there. She immediately went to the kitchen and filled a bowl with water. She then went upstairs to the bathroom to get a towel and a first aid kit. When she walked into her room, she noticed that Patience was still unconscious. She had been asleep for four days. Phoebe started to unwrap the bandages on Patience's right arm. The demons had really done a number on her in the Underworld. They had broken her left arm and given her a stomach wound. The Source also managed to give her several different gashes. Leo had tried to heal her, but since she was a half demon, he could only do so much.
After Phoebe finished washing Patience's face, she went down and made some soup and cheese sandwiches. By the time she got back upstairs, Patience was awake. "Is that burnt cheese I smell?" she asked. Phoebe immediately put the food down and hugged her. "Mom, I can't breathe." Phoebe let go and apologized. Patience smiled and yawned. "I feel refreshed. How long have I been out?"
"Four days," Phoebe answered.
"That long? I didn't think I could sleep that long. I usually get in a seven hour sleep and go back to demon hunting. What happened?" Phoebe started to explain everything, how Patience was tricked by Vicious, how she became evil, how they were captured, and how Patience had fought off all the demons, including the Source. "I'm really sorry I had to put you through that."
"It wasn't your fault. You were being controlled by evil."
"By my demonic side. I should have fought it more. Oh well, everything is good. Hey, where is dad? I want to show him the new Patience. So, where is he? I want to…" Patience saw the look on Phoebe's face. Even though she wasn't an empath like her mother, Patience knew what was going on in that head of hers. She looked down at her bed sheets. "He's not coming back, is he?"
Phoebe couldn't bring herself to look at her daughter. How could she tell her that Cole was dead? "He sacrificed himself to save the world. He took the Grimiore with him to hell. I'm sorry."
"It's alright. One of you was suppose to die in this little twisted story. At first, it was suppose to be you in the future. But I couldn't bring myself to think that if I changed the future, it would be him. I know it sounds stupid, but I thought I would miss him. I was so worried about getting to know you that I never thought that it would be him that I missed." She got out of bed and started dressing herself in blue jeans, a red top, and a black drench coat. As soon as she tied her boots, she walked downstairs. Phoebe soon followed.
In the living room, Paige, Piper, and Prue were waiting. Phoebe wanted to know. "What is going on here?"
"Well," Prue started. "The Elders say that it is time for Patience to go back to her time."
"She's done everything that needs to be done," Paige stated. "She helped save the world and there isn't anymore evil to fight."
"We can finally have a normal and demon-free life," Piper said. "Know all that needs to be done is send her back." Everyone started giving Patience hugs. "I'll try to teach your mom to cook."
"Don't be a stranger," Paige said.
"I guess that I'll get to be your whitelighter in the future," Prue said in pride as she orbed out.
"Fun," Patience said sarcastically. Phoebe gave her a hug and a kiss.
"I'm going to miss you so much," she said.
"We'll see each other soon, perhaps sooner than you think." Patience backed up.
"Should I go get the book?" Phoebe asked.
"Like I said, sooner than you think." Paige and Piper looked at each other and realized it. They started laughing.
"What?" Phoebe asked.
"Don't you get it?" Piper said.
"Get what?" Phoebe asked.
"You're pregnant!" Paige yelled.
"I'm pregnant?" They all started jumping up and down in joy. Phoebe looked at Patience with a smile. Suddenly, Patience begun to disappear. Phoebe couldn't believe it. She was finally going to be a mother.
Nine months later, Phoebe was being rushed through the E.R. doors with Paige and Piper at her side. When they got to a room, Paige and Piper were told to sit outside and wait. It had been almost thirteen hours when a doctor finally came out. They both got up. "Is she alright?" Paige asked.
"She's fine," the doctor said. "She's a little exhausted, but they're both in good condition."
"Can we see them?" Piper asked. The doctor nodded and led them in. Phoebe was crying as she held the little baby in a pink blanket. Piper and Paige started to cry in joy with her. The baby was in perfect health. As the baby opened her eyes, they could see Cole's green eyes in her. "What's her name?" they asked together. Phoebe smiled at the baby girl.
"Her name is Patience Melinda Halliwell Turner."
The End.
That's it. That's the end. I hope you all liked it. Cya.
