Thanks to everyone else that reviewed too!
A few days have past and Andy and Lindsay are officially dating, everyone at school was totally shocked when they heard about them
Phoebe has been really missing Cole since he's been away for a few days with his Dad and she has been wearing the locket the whole time
Piper and Leo are happy and are completely over Missy schemes
Paige and Glen are dating and are happy too
Okay so here is the next chapter and for those of you who have been desperately wanting Cole, I can tell you he is in this chapter and so are Piper and Leo
Chapter 23
Moods, Magic and Marriage
"Happy Birthday Piper!" Phoebe and Paige sang cheerfully as Piper walked into the kitchen
"And it is a happy birthday, " Piper smiled "I honestly haven't been this happy in a long time,"
"And I bet Leo has something to do with that," Phoebe smirked
"Yeah but not just that, I mean being able to talk to you guys again and I'm going to be an aunt soon!" Piper said happily
Prue slumped into the kitchen and sunk down on a chair without saying a word to anyone
"Good morning to you too," Paige said to her
"Ha!" Prue said loudly making them all jump "And exactly what is so good about it?"
"Well…" Paige began
"Rhetorical question, Paige," Prue snapped
"Okay then how about you tell us whats not good about it," Phoebe said
"Would you look at me I'm a mess, I have no Andy, I have to face Lindsay careering around school allday with her arm around him, hugging him, flirting with him, kissing him…"
"Okay, okay we get the point," Paige interrupted
Prue glared at her, "Anyway the point is she is so taking over my life, next she'll be cheerleading captain or class president," Prue said getting slightly hysterical
"Honey, first of all you look fine," Piper said then seeing Prue's face she added "Great,"
"Sweetie, weren't you the one that broke up with Andy so he could go out with Lindsay," Phoebe said
"Well, yeah but…I guess I didn't realise how much I would miss him," Prue sighed
"I know you do but remember everything happens for a reason," Phoebe said
"So what's the reason here then?" Prue asked
"Well I don't know exactly but you just have to believe that you and Andy are meant to be together," Phoebe said encouragingly
"Destiny," Paige suddenly said
"What?" the other three asked her
"Remember when we were younger and Grams would always go on about everyone having a destiny, well maybe this is your Prue," Paige explained
"What, being alone forever?" Prue asked
"Yeah…I mean no…well it could be but I'm sure its not…You know I really don't know I mean I don't make up peoples destiny," Paige mumbled
Piper, Prue and Phoebe giggled "You know Paige you really have to stop listening to Grams and all her magic mumbo jumbo stories,"
"Hey you never know maybe magic is real," Paige defended
The other three stopped giggling and raised their eyebrows at her
"Okay, I'm kidding there is no such thing as magic," Paige said
"Good for a minute there Paige I thought you'd gone crazy, well crazier than you already are anyway," Phoebe said grinning
"Hey!" Paige said and they laughed
"Hi Prue, hi baby," Kayleigh cooed patting Prue expanding stomach
"Do you have to touch my stomach," Prue snapped
"Sorry I didn't know it bothered you," Kayleigh said
"Well now you do," Prue said
"She's having one of her moods again," Chloe whispered to Kayleigh
"Hey I heard that and you would be in a bad mood too if you had to carry around a huge stomach allday, throw up every morning and need the toilet constantly," Prue said coolly
"So this bad mood has absolutely nothing to do with Andy dating Lindsay then?" Chloe asked
"No, I don't care about that at all," Prue lied
"Liar," Kayleigh said
"Shh," Chloe whispered
"Why?" Prue asked turning around and seeing Andy and Lindsay behind her "Oh hi Andy, Lindsay,"
"Hi," Andy said awkwardly as Lindsay slipped her arm around his waist
"So Prue how's the whole pregnant thing?" Lindsay asked
"It's great actually I've never felt better," Prue lied
Chloe and Kayleigh looked like they were about to say something but Prue nudged them
"That's great," Andy said smiling
Prue smiled at Andy too and they stayed that way for a moment
Lindsay didn't like it "Yeah that is really good Prue but me and Andy better be off we have a class to get to,"
"Bye," Andy said as Lindsay practically dragged him away
"God I hate her," Prue said as soon as she was out of earshot
Phoebe was lying on the couch after school flicking through the channels
"Over 100 channels and there is not one good thing on," Phoebe moaned
The doorbell rang and Phoebe jumped up and went to answer it
"Cole," she said surprised and hugged him
"Hi, Phoebe," he said
"I'm so glad you're back I missed you," she said releasing him
"I missed you too," he smiled
"So do you want to go for a walk or something?" she asked
"Sure," he replied
They walked down Prescott Street
"So did you have a good birthday?" Cole asked
"Yeah it was…. oh Cole thank you so much for the necklace," Phoebe said suddenly remembering the gold chain around her neck
"You like it?" Cole asked
"I love it, it's beautiful but it must have cost you a lot," Phoebe said
"Well it's a lot easier to save money when you're not spending it on drugs or alcohol the whole time," Cole said
"Well thank you, it really is the nicest present I've ever been given," she said
"Well you're the nicest person I've ever met," Cole said
Phoebe blushed
"I'm serious you are the most kind and caring person I've ever met, without you I would still be on street corners dealing drugs," Cole said
"I needed you as much as much as you needed me, you've been a great friend to me," Phoebe said
Cole stopped walking "You're more than a friend to me,"
Phoebe stopped walking to "I am?" she asked her stomach doing a double turn
Cole took her hands "Of course you are, you are really special to me,"
"I'm not special," Phoebe said
Cole lifted her chin up and looked her in the eye "Don't ever say you're not special," he whispered
Phoebe felt tears well up in her eyes
Cole gently wiped a tear as it roll down her face with his finger
"Well you know what Cole Turner you're the nicest guy I've ever met," Phoebe softly
Cole smiled and pulled her in for a hug
When they parted Cole softly brushed her hair away from her wet cheeks and bent in and kissed her lightly on the lips, lingering for a moment then pulling away but Phoebe grabbed him round the neck and kissed him passionately
"I…don't know…why I…did that," Phoebe said breathlessly
"I didn't ask," Cole said
"Phoebe continued "I guess I just got caught up in the moment or…"
"Phoebe you don't need to explain, the truth is if you didn't do that then I would have," Cole said
"You would?" Phoebe asked
"Yeah actually I've wanted to kiss you for sometime now," Cole told her
"Yeah?" Phoebe said a smile playing on her lips
"Yeah," Cole replied
And they kissed again
"Oh Leo its lovely thank you," Piper said as she entered Leo's dining room to find a table set up for them
Soft music filled the room and the lights were all dimmed down
"I wanted to make your 16th birthday special," Leo said
"Well you did," Piper said
"Oh it's not over yet," Leo said grinning
He pulled out a seat for her and she sat down
"For starter we have prawn cocktail," Leo said coming back through with two dishes
Piper tasted it, "Mmn it's good, now I know you never made it,"
"Hey…okay so it was my mum that made it but she let me make the marie rose sauce for it," Leo said
Piper smiled "Well the sauce is nice,"
There was spaghetti bolognaise for the main course and strawberry cheesecake for desert
"That was lovely, thank you," Piper said swallowing her last mouthful
"You're welcome," Leo said clearing the plates away
"Oh I love this song," Piper said when he came back in
"Well in that case would you care to dance Miss Halliwell?" Leo asked in a posh voice
"Why I'd love to Mr Wyatt," Piper said as she took Leo's hand
She rested her head on his shoulder and they danced around the room
"I love you," Piper whispered
"I love you too," Leo said "Hey that reminds me, I almost forgot about your present,"
"Leo you didn't have to get me anything, you've done enough already," Piper said
"You deserve it all and more," Leo said digging in his pocket
"Found it," he said taking out a small velvet box
He handed it to Piper and she opened it to reveal a gold ring
"Leo," she gasped
"Don't worry, I'm not proposing…yet anyway. Its a promise ring so that one day in the future we will get married, I know we're still young but I know that you're the one for me, when we broke up over Missy I hated not being with you and I can't stand the thought of losing you again and I know everybody says that when you're our age you don't know the real meaning of love but I don't believe that, What me and you ahevif that's not real love then I don't know what is. I don't believe this is some teenage crush and that we'll drift apart after highschool I know in my heart we'll be together forever. Piper Halliwell I love you so much," Leo said
"Leo I love you so much, I can't believe how lucky I am to have you," Piper said as tears rolled down her cheeks
Leo smiled and slipped the ring on her finger
She smiled and admired it, she noticed it had engraved on it Leo and Piper forever
"Leo it's beautiful, I'm so happy this has been the best birthday ever," Piper said
"So do you promise?" Leo asked
"Of course I promise," Piper said
Leo kissed Piper but it was more passionate than usual
She broke it after a minute
"Leo what if your parents…"
"My parents are out for the night," Leo assured her
Leo held out his hand and she took it but she stopped at the bottom of the stairs
"Leo are you sure, I mean I can go home right now and I'll still have had a great time," Piper said
"I'm sure," Leo said
"Okay," Piper said and followed him upstairs to his room and she closed the door behind her
This will probably be the last chapter for a while because I'm going away on holiday on Sunday but if I get a lot of reviews I might just find time to get another chapter! So please review!
