A.N: Thanks for the reviews! Some of you want to know if this fic is a Cole/Phoebe and the answer is yes. As I said before it will involve all the couples but mainly this one. And for those who are wondering where Cole is (since it's suppose to be a fic involving him, lol) he will arrive. I have my story in my head but I honestly don't know when he will come As for Piper and Leo, there will be romance for them too. Anyway, hope you will love this chapter.
Two years earlier
Piper was still in the kitchen when Phoebe entered it.
Hey Piper how are you doing this morning?
Oh, great. Just a little worried about Leo.
Oh… Nothing will happen to him sweetie. The Elders love Leo. They wouldn't want to hurt him or you, Phoebe replied giving a hug to her sister.
Piper who noticed that she didn't even asked about how she was holding up looked at her sister in the eyes.
And you, Pheebs, how are you doing? I mean with Drake's death and everything.
Oh I'm fine Phoebe replied avoiding her sister's look of concern. I mean he was a demon. He knew it was bad and he was ready to give up everything, even is life, to feel human for a while. How can I blame him?
I know you are right. But you didn't really answer my question. How are you doing?
Well, how do you want me to be? I guess I'm just cursed with love. Phoebe replied and then burst into a laugh. And I'm not the only one. As I said so often before, we, Halliwells, are the best with magic, but with love we are cursed.
Don't say that replied Piper while making some pancakes. It's not true.
It's not? Look at us this morning. Paige is in her room remembering Kyle. You are here waiting to see what will happen to your husband and the guy I learned to like died two days ago!
My… Pheebs, I never saw you that down since… Piper decided not to finish her sentence frightened that it would bring other bad memories to her sister. Everything will be ok sweetie and you know it.
Phoebe who hated to see herself falling apart smiled at her sister and decided to change the subject.
By the way where is Leo? He seems to avoid me since the Avatars.
Really? I didn't notice it. Why would he? I mean he has no reasons!
At this moment Paige entered the room.
Hey, have you seen my red lipstick?
No, replied Phoebe, you lost it?
Looks like it. Anyway, what's new?
Oh nothing said Piper.
Still no demon around?
Still no demon around Paige. Well, does anyone wants some pancakes?
No sorry Piper, Phoebe replied looking at her watch, have to go to work now. I'm already late.
Same for me, said Paige before orbing away.
Bye Piper, I'll be home at 4hrs.
Ok Pheebs.
Phoebe then grabbed her coat and left the kitchen, leaving Piper alone with at least ten pancakes. Piper heard the door close and then she called Leo. He appeared in the kitchen a second later.
What's going on Piper, demons?
No pancakes.
I'm sorry what?
I did pancakes for my sisters and they had to go so I'm here, alone, stuck with a lot of pancakes. I was wondering if you would want some.
Sure, why not?
Hey I wanted to know if there was something wrong between you and Phoebe?
Why are you asking that? You know I love Pheebs!
I know but she told me you were avoiding her lately. So what's the problem?
There's no problem. Maybe your sister is hallucinating!
Phoebe, hallucinating things? Your kidding right! If she noticed something was wrong then, something is wrong, she smiled at her husband.
Ok, then. I wanted to talk to you about this another time. But I guess now's good. Please sit down Piper.
My, if you want me to sit down, that means this is really important!
Piper went to the table with her pancakes in one hand and two glasses of water in the second. God she's beautiful, thought Leo. He had wanted so bad Utopia to pass time with her and their sons. Now, everything is like it will always be. Him, a whitelighter and her, a witch. And that statement made them grow apart with time.
So, what did you want to tell him, she asked bringing him back to the conversation.
Look, I know I should have tell you this before, but since you didn't know I was an avatar I couldn't.
Ok, I'm worried now. Please, tell me what is going on!
It's about Cole.
Cole?
Yeah, you know Phoebe's ex husband.
I know who Cole is, thank you, replied a frustrated Piper.
Well, you know, when he came back from the wasteland?
Yeah…
Well, when he came back the avatar went to him.
Wow! Another reason to like the avatar, said Piper with sarcasm.
He became an avatar.
He what! That's impossible, he would have tell Phoebe wouldn't he?
Oh yeah! I'm sure he would have told is ex-wife who thought he was crazy.
Oh my god! Tell me he's still dead! Please tell me that Paige vanquished him for good!
That's the little problem. The avatar brought him back!
They what! Piper asked even more frustrated. Leo, tell me for how many time have you known this?
I'm sorry Piper.
You didn't answer my question! How many time!
Look Piper…
Could you please answer this damn question!
Since I'm an avatar.
How could you!
Piper, please calm down! Listen he said before she could talk again. What was I suppose to do. If I had told you, you would have asked me how I knew! And what would I have tell you? That I was an avatar?
Well yes, said Piper. She felt like all the things he did that make her mad and that she kept to herself were bursting out at the same time. It would have save a lot of lies don't you think!
I told you a million times, replied Leo more and more loudly, I COULDN'T TELL YOU THE TRUTH, you wouldn't have understood.
And then? When I knew the truth why didn't you told me that Cole was alive?
I didn't have the time, I was thinking of so many things at the time. Beside, he's not dangerous. He never came back to Phoebe after you taught he was vanquished. He understood it was over and I'm sure he moved on with his life.
For god sake Leo, he's a demon! He was the source!
Yeah and if the avatars chose him at the time. It means he have a good side!
Piper sat down again. She wasn't worried anymore. After all, Leo was right, he didn't came back.
I'm sorry I didn't tell you before Piper.
It's ok I guess you were right she said staring at her plate. Now what am I supposed to do? Should I tell Phoebe?
Why she would only be hurt he said approaching her. She looked at him.
I guess you are right.
Leo was about to kiss her when Paige shimmered in the room.
You wouldn't believe what I learn a moment ago!
You wouldn't believe what I learned a minute ago too, Piper thought to herself.
- One of my students was a demon! What am I supposed to do? I can't let him learn at magic school can I?
Phoebe entered the room at the same moment. Piper felt sick knowing she had to lie to her sister.
Well, Drake was a demon and you have let him teach to your school so why wouldn't you let this student learn at Magic school?
Nobody talked. They all knew that Phoebe had been hurt by his death and they didn't want to hurt her more.
Anyway, Phoebe said broking the silence I forgot my glasses. So… She said taking them, see you at 4hrs.
And she then left.
A.N: So this is my third chapter. Hope you liked it and hope it made you understand a little bit better for those who were confused.
