Chapter 18 - Back together
Phoebe and Piper came home from the park in the evening. Phoebe was holding David and Piper was holding Alyssa. As they entered the Manor, they saw Cole standing in the hall. His eyes sparkled when he saw two little babies in their hands. "Oh, my God." he whispered.
"Would you like to hold him?" Phoebe asked, avoiding Cole's gaze.
"I... Uh... I'm afraid I might... you know... hurt him." Cole said honestly.
Phoebe laughed. "You won't hurt him." she said. "Come on, take him." she said, walking over to Cole. She slowly put the baby in Cole's arms. "Just hold his head. It's really tiny." she said. When Cole finally took his son in his arms, bright tears fell down Phoebe's cheeks.
"What is it?" Cole asked.
"It's just... This feels so natural and I never thought you'll stand here, holding them. I thought you're dead and..." she didn't manage to find the words.
Piper led Wyatt and Chris to the nursery and put Alyssa who was already asleep in the crib, too. Than she came back to the hall and saw Phoebe crying. She knew what the reason was.
"Don't cry, honey." Piper hugged her. "If you're worried that this is a dream, don't worry - it's not. You have a family. I know how you feel; I felt the same thing when I got Wyatt."
"Uh... Piper, can you take David to the nursery?" Cole asked. "Phoebe and I have to talk."
"Sure." Piper said and took little David in her hands. "Good luck." she whispered in Phoebe's ear and left.
"Phoebe, we have to talk about last night." Cole said honestly. "You can't pretend like it didn't happen." he looked at her. "Are you sorry?"
"Cole... There's nothing to talk about." Phoebe shook her head. "You know that a passion always builds up between us; it's unstoppable. Last night, we really passed the line. But, I'm not sorry."
Cole gave her a weak smile. It was a good thing that she wasn't sorry. "Phoebe, it wasn't just passion. It wasn't just passion, it was love. Do you remember how love feels? Well, that was love. Pure love. I love you and you proved me that you love me back."
"No... Uh... It was just passion, Cole." Phoebe lied. "Nothing more than a passion. You know that I decided for us not to be together. Well, since we can't do it like this, I was thinking about something. We should just... divorce."
"WHAT?" Cole yelled. "Phoebe, no. Don't do this. You can't to this. Please, Phoebe, don't."
"I have to." Phoebe tried to suppress the tears. "It's the only way. You have to stay away from my life. You'll be able to see our kids, of course." she quickly added. "But, you won't be able to see me. I just can't live like this."
"Like what?" Cole asked.
"Well, I'll end up helplessly in your arms every night." Phoebe blushed as she tried to explain. "And that kind of relationship doesn't have the future."
"What makes you think we'll sleep together every night?" Cole asked.
"This what I feel right now." Phoebe said. "Right now, I feel like falling in your arms again, just like last night. And waking up in your arms is the most beautiful feeling I ever felt, but... You know that there's one baby on the way, and that baby stops us from being together again."
"Phoebe, I'll make sure that my son always has what he needs when he borns." Cole promised
"We just can't..." Phoebe said. "I love you, Cole. Here, I admit - I love you, but we can't be together. It is over."
"Well, you're wrong if you think I'm gonna sit and wait for you to ruin our relationship." Cole said and pulled her into a passionate kiss. Phoebe wrapped her legs around his waist and kissed him back. He shimmered them into her room and put her down on bed. He removed her and his clothes in very short time. Than he kissed every inch of her body.
"Cole..." Phoebe whispered.
"Don't speak." Cole whispered back and kissed her lips. "Just feel."
---
Cole didn't fell asleep at all. He was afraid that she might escape again while he's asleep like she did before. He just hugged her, pressing her body against his. She was right. Sleeping and waking up in her bed, by her side really was the most beautiful feeling. Holding her in his arms felt so good. He heard a song through Phoebe's open window and smiled
"If you were in my heart, I'd surely not break you
If you were beside me, and my love would take you
I'll keep you in safety, forever protect you
I'll Hide U away from the world you rejected
-
I'll Hide U
I'll Hide U..."
---
In the middle of the night, Phoebe woke up. She turned around and saw Cole smiling at her. "Morning." she said, joking. It wasn't morning at all.
"Morning." Cole answered. "Thought that you can escape again, ha?" he asked, tightening his embrace. Her back were pressed against his chest. He kissed the back of her neck.
"Not really." she smiled. Than she turned around towards him and kissed his chest. "This feels so good, ha?" she answered. "Waking up by your side is... amazing feeling, but where does this lead us to, Cole?" she looked at his eyes.
"This leads us to the fresh start." Cole said after kissing her lips tenderly. "I don't wanna lose this feeling, Phoebe. And you don't wanna lose it, either."
"No, I don't." Phoebe said in baby voice and shook her head. "I feel so safe and protected right now. But, most importantly, I feel loved. You are the man of my dreams, Cole. I'm sorry if I put you through sad moments, but that's the part of me. Sometimes, I complicate things that are in fact very easy. I'm sorry. Forgive me."
Cole laughed and hugged her. She placed her head on his chest and he kissed the topp of her head. Once again he wrapped his muscular arms around her protectively. "I got nothing to forgive you. That's the part of who you are and I love you just the way that you are."
"Let me do something." Phoebe rolled over to the other side of the bed and put a CD in the computer. "Listen to this song." she said when the song started playing.
" Thank God that you were by my side..
-
On a night...
On a night...
-
Daytime I'm fine
Everything is back normal
Last night I thought that I would die
I had nightmares, I was so scared
Thank god that you were by my side
To hold me when I cried
-
I wanna be strong
But I dont' wanna be alone tonight
I wanna believe that I can save the world
And make it right
But I believe that you've got a hero's face
Right here in your arms is safest place
The safest place
-
It feels so real
You showed I could trust you
With emotions I had locked away
It was your touch, your words
They hear deepest part of me
That only you can see
-
I wanna be strong
But I don't wanna be alone tonight
I wanna believe that I can save the world
And make it right
But I believe that you've got a hero's face
Right here in your arms is safest place
-
As long as I'm with you
As long as I can feel you
That's all I need to keep me going
On and on and on and on...
I wanna believe that I can save the world
And make it right
But I believe that you've got a hero's face
Right here in your arms is safest place
-
Right here in your arms is safest place...
The safest place...
The safest place..."
With this song, Phoebe slowly fell asleep in Cole's arms again. He smiled. "Where would I be without you, baby?" he asked, kissing her forehead. She smiled and placed her head on his chest. "Sleep tranquily." he whispered. "I will always protect you, no matter what. You and our kids are something most important to me."
