PRESENT 2005

Paige paced around her bedroom floor. It was past midnight. She kept looking at the sleeping figure on her bed. Pier looked so familiar, but Paige could place it. She stopped in her tracks when she heard giggling coming from the room across the hall. It was Phoebe's room.

Only Paige knew what was going on behind those doors. And frankly, she really didn't even want to know. It was an accident, when she had walked in on Phoebe. But what she really didn't understand was why? Phoebe was the good sister. She kept Piper and Paige from ripping each other's throats out. And she had Cole. Paige considered Phoebe to be blessed. Somehow, Phoebe had managed to get Cole to fall in love with her. If Cole knew what was going on right now, he'd be pissed.

"Paige?" Pier's voice cut through the silence that had settled in the room. Paige turned around to face the girl. Pier's hair was sticking up in 2 directions, and her glasses were on crooked. Paige stifled a laugh as she sat down next to Pier.

"Are they doing what I think they're doing?" Pier asked, pointing in the direction of Phoebe's room.

"Well, you know Phoebe and Cole are in love…" Paige responded.

"Not Phoebe and Cole. Phoebe and…you know." Pier said. Of course she knows, Paige thought.

"I never understood why Phoebe would do that. She knew that he was already attached, and so is she. But I know that Cole will soon fall in love with someone else. How else will I be born." Pier immediately regretted that last sentence as Paige gave her a look.

"Cole's your dad?" She asked, confused.

Pier grinned sheepishly. "Yea. But you can't tell anyone. I would get in so much trouble." She exaggerated the 'so' part, hoping Paige would get the point.

"By who?" Paige asked curiously.

Pier was about to respond when they heard a door down the hallway open. Paige looked at Pier with a frightened look on her face.

"Piper." Paige whispered, immediately getting up and heading towards the door. Pier stopped her.

"It has to be this way." Was all she said as they opened the door to watch the scene that was about to unfold.

Paige and Pier could see Piper creeping down the hall. A look of anger and some pain were evident as she cross the hall towards Phoebe's room. She stopped momentarily and pressed her ear against the door. The slight pain that was on her face before disappeared and instead was replaced with a look of pure hatred. Paige had only seen that face once – when Shax had attacked the sisters again, right after Prue's death. Piper flung the door opened and her mouth dropped to the floor. Paige gasped and covered Pier's eyes. Pier resisted Paige's hands and pushed them off her face. But immediately, Pier wished she had kept Paige's hands covering her eyes. What she saw next was side of both Piper and Cole, who had just shimmered in, that she had never seen before.

"Leo!" Piper screamed causing Phoebe to stare at her like she was crazy. Leo looked embarrassed.

Piper lifted her hands and blew up the bedpost, causing splinters to fly everywhere. Paige ran forward and grabbed her sister before any damage could be done. Paige looked at Phoebe in disbelief. Phoebe was still motionless, frozen and shock and terror. Cole stalked towards the bed and grabbed Phoebe, who was conveniently half naked. He threw her on the ground and stepped in front of her.

"Cole I'm so sorry." Was all she whimpered.

Cole opened his mouth to say something but never got it out. He brought his hand to his cheek and realized he was crying. Stalking past Piper and Paige he stopped and stood in front of Pier. She looked up at him with a look that clearly said she was sorry it had to happen to him. He touched her shoulder, as if he understood what she was thinking and took one last look at Phoebe, who was still cowering in fear. Then he shimmered out.

"Get her things together." Piper said to Paige. Paige looked at Pier and Pier called out for all of Phoebe's things. After about 5 minutes, she had them in suitcases. Paige tossed Phoebe a pair of pants and lead Piper out of the room. Piper turned around and went back inside.

"So help me God if any one of you come back into this house again." She growled through clenched teeth. "And you," She said pointing to Leo. "If you come anywhere near this house ever again, I swear I'll…I'll…" Piper couldn't finish.

"Get out." Paige said in a voice she had never used before. Leo merely grabbed Phoebe around the waist and orbed out, leaving a crying Piper behind, who was desperately holding onto Paige. Paige was trying to keep her anger together. Pier just stood in the corner of the room. She knew this was coming, but it was still shocking, to everyone.

FUTURE 2023

Cole paced around the room. Parker was mimicking him, making Cole smile despite the fact that Cole was trying to concentrate.

"Maybe I can go back in time and get her." He said aloud.

"No way." Came a voice from the doorway to the attic.

"Mommy." Parker yelled running to jump into her arms, although she had left the room about 5 minutes ago. She grinned, and then turned back to Cole.

"Cole. There is no way I'm letting you go to the past. What if you see…you. Or anyone else?" She asked.

He had a quick response. "I'll just grab her and come home. I promise." His voice had a slight whine to it, like a 4-year-old asking for candy.

She stood her ground though. "No. I'm not letting you."

"I can just drop off a spell to get her home." Cole insisted.

"How do you even know where she is?" She asked.

Cole looked away, guiltily. "I did a spell and I found out where she is." He admitted.

"Where?" She asked anxiously

"You'll never believe it." Cole said.

"Try me." She responded.

"The year 2005." Cole said with a smug look on his face.

"That's right before she's… born" She couldn't believe it.

PRESENT 2005

"I don't blame you, you know that right?" Piper asked Pier. They were sitting on the couch. Piper's eyes were red and puffy. She sipped the tea that Pier had made her. Pier was looking through the family picture book.

"I know." She said as she flipped the pages. Pictures were over flowing off the page. There were pictures of all types of things. A couple were of Prue, Piper and Phoebe. Some were baby photos. Others had Cole and Leo in them. Some even had Paige in them. Words in black ink were also written down on the pages. Piper moved closer to Pier and started explaining the pictures and words to her.

Paige watched from the doorway. She smiled; knowing that Piper was opening up to Pier. Pier seemed happy. Paige turned around to make some more tea when she saw Cole sitting at the kitchen table, his head in his hands. Paige tentatively walked up to him and touched his shoulder. He jumped, but upon seeing it was only Paige, relaxed again.

"I knew…" He said, starting to speak. "I knew she was cheating on me. I didn't think that it would be Leo though. I mean, he's not her type. He's an angel for Christ sakes. And Piper, he heart must be crushed. If I had said something sooner…" He faltered as fresh tears rose in his blue eyes.

Paige cut him off. "I knew too. I've known since about a month ago. I didn't tell anyone because I was afraid nobody would believe me. Phoebe could deny it. Leo's and angel and Piper would've believed him. And you, you hate me. Why should you believe me?"

Cole looked amazed. "What makes you think I hate you? I mean, am I really that bad"

"Well I just assumed you hated me. You're always avoiding me and I did try to kill you once." Paige stammered out once. Cole took her hands in his and forced her to look at him.

"First off, you were possessed when you tried to kill me. And secondly, I'm sorry if I avoided you. I just…" Cole stopped.

"You just what?" Paige asked. Cole was looking at her funny. It was like he wasn't really him.

Cole shook it off and looked back at Paige. "I just…you're beautiful Paige."

Paige was surprised. "What?" She asked.

"I'm sorry. I don't know why I said that. It's just that I've thought that ever since you walked into this family and I…" Cole leaned in to kiss her. Paige gave in, but then pulled away.

"Are you sure you want to do this Cole? I mean…you're probably still grieving." Paige said, hoping he was over Phoebe.

"Yea. I'm sure. I've never been more sure about something in my life." Cole said sweeping Paige off her feet and gathering her in his arms. He kissed her passionately as they shimmered out.

Pier and Piper stood in the doorway, having witnessed the whole thing. Piper looked at Pier.

"Want to sleep down here tonight?" She asked, Pier just nodded as they turned on the TV and made themselves comfortable on the couch and armchair.
