So, here's the next chapter. I would have wrote sooner but the stupid computer crashed and I had so much homework so sorry.
A recap-Cole is Prudence's father. He brings her home and Pheobe is stunned when she sees him.
Ok you're caught up. On with the story.
Chapter 4-Getting Things Out in The Open
"Cole," was all that she could say and then there was a long period of silence.
Prudence broke the silence.
"Daddy, you wanna see my room?" Prue asked.
"Let me talk to mommy. I'll be up there in a minute, okay?" he said putting the girl down.
"Okay, daddy," she said and kissed him on the cheek before running up the stairs.
"Cole, how can you be here? You were dead. I saw you die," Pheobe said, tears in her eyes.
"I don't know how I got here. I have been in the Wasteland for the last five years. "They" didn't know where I was supposed to go, so I was just stuck there. Then yesterday, I woke up and I was here," Cole said. "Pheobe, that little girl is perfect. She's just like you," Cole said smiling.
"She looks like you," Pheobe said walking into the living room and sitting down, not able to face him at the moment.
Cole followed and sat down as well.
"Every time I look at her, I see you," Pheobe said.
"I'm so sorry that I wasn't here for both of you," Cole said and took Pheobe's hand in his.
He was glad when she didn't pull away.
"It's my fault. I was the one that killed you. I was the one that didn't try to save you. I'm sorry Cole. I'm sorry that you haven't seen your daughter grow up," Pheobe said looking down, tears streaming down her face.
Pheobe looked up at Cole with a tear streaked face.
"I've told her about you. She loves hearing stories about you. I always tell her one every night. She still has the teddy bear that you gave me when you found out I was pregnant. She has slept with it every night since she was born. She's finally bigger than it now," Pheobe said trying to force a smile.
Cole had tears in his eyes.
They heard footsteps and the little girl ran into the room.
"Daddy, come on," she said pulling him by arm.
"Okay, I'm coming," Cole said smiling as he picked up his daughter.
When he held her or when she called him daddy, it was as if no time had passed like he had been with her the whole time. Everything bad seemed to fade away when he was around her.
Pheobe followed behind them.
"I have to share my room with my cousin, Wyatt. I'm older than him," she told her father.
"By three months. Big deal," Wyatt said playing with his 'Hulk' toy.
"Who are you?" Wyatt asked.
Cole looked at Pheobe, as if asking permission to tell him.
"I'm Prue's dad," he said.
"Aunt Paige said that you're a bad guy," Wyatt said. "You have bad powers.
"I'm going to have to talk to Aunt Paige," Pheobe said. "He is a good guy."
Wyatt went back to playing with his toys. He didn't say another word.
Prudence gave Cole a tour of the room, which included showing and introducing hi to every stuffed animal and toy she owned. Cole didn't seem to mind though. He had a huge smile on his face and looked like a pro when it came to being a dad.
Pheobe watched them and felt even worse that she had given up. He was a good man. She knew this but she hadn't given him the benefit of the doubt about the whole Source thing. She had just killed him like it had been his choice to turn evil. She knew now how wrong she was and she would make it up to him. From now on, he would never be away from his daughter.
So how was it? Please review and tell me what you think
