I want to thank Julie for all her help with this story. You're been a great help with my Cole Phoebe stories.

Chpt. 16

While Phoebe was helping Cole stand up, Paige quietly slipped out the door.

She couldn't believe she just saved Cole's life. But then hasn't he saved her life, a few times. Even when he was possessed by the Source, Cole still saved her. She hated to admit it, even to herself, but Cole really wasn't a bad guy. She just needed to get past his past. He does love Phoebe, very much. Paige smiled in spite of herself.

"Are you sure you're okay?" Phoebe nervously asked Cole.

"I'm fine, really."

When Cole looked around, he noticed that Leo was just waking up. If Leo didn't save him, who did?

Phoebe smiled when she saw his puzzled look.

"Paige saved you."

Cole was still a little disoriented as he made his way to the stairs.

'Where are you going?" Piper asked as they all followed him.

"To thank Paige."

Paige was in the kitchen, heating up some water for tea when Cole slowly walked in.

"Why? Why did you save me?"

Paige swallowed before she answered him.

"I've been so wrong about you. It's easy to see how much you and Phoebe love each other. You belong together. I was stupid not to see it. I'm sorry I…I'm sorry."

Cole couldn't believe it. Not only did Paige save his life but she also felt that he and Phoebe belong together.

"Thank you." He simply said.

"You're welcome."

Later that night, Paige was sitting in the living room, channel surfing when Piper sat down, beside her.

"That was a great think you did."

"We save people all the time, why should today be any different."

"I wasn't talking about saving Cole; I was talking about forgiving him."

"I have been doing a lot of thinking, and realized that you, Leo and Phoebe are right. Cole didn't become evil on his own; he was set up, by the Seer."

Phoebe was lying in bed, watching Cole sleep. He looked so peaceful, so serene. She found her soul mate, again, and she was never letting go.
