Chpt. 15

On the plane ride back to San Francisco, Prue kept her eyes on Cole and Piper. It wasn't that she didn't trust Cole, she just didn't know him. It was obvious that he cared for Piper.

"What's wrong?" Phoebe whispered.

"Do you think they're a little too close?"

Phoebe smiled. "They're in love Prue. I think losing her memory helped Piper find true love."

"And he took good care of her." Darryl added.

"Hmm." Was Prue's only response.

"Thank you for coming with me." Piper said, laying her head on Cole's shoulder.

"Well, I have to take care of my favorite patient, don't I."

San Francisco

When they arrived at the manor, piper just stared. She couldn't believe that she really lived here.

"It's so big." She whispered as she slowly walked up the front steps, with Prue, Phoebe and Cole following close behind.

When they walked in the door, piper looked around and waited for a memory to hit her.

"What's wrong?" Cole asked.

"It doesn't feel like home. I can't remember living here."

Then she started to cry.

Cole pulled her into his arms and let her cry. He didn't know how she felt, but he was going to be there, when she needed him.

"I know how much you want to remember your life here, but you have to let it come."

Piper sniffled. "Aren't you getting tired of telling me that?"

"Why don't we get some sleep. You must be tired, I know I am." Cole said.

"I agree." Prue said, as she and Phoebe walked into the room, carrying some bedding. "Hope you'll be comfortable on the couch."

"He won't need them Prue, he's sleeping with me." Piper said, taking Cole's hand as they walked up to her room.

Once the door was closed Piper started kissing Cole, but she noticed he wasn't responding.

"What's wrong?" she asked.

"I don't think your sister likes me."

"Prue is okay, she's always been over-protective. Give her time, she'll learn to love you."

"You remember that?" Cole happily asked.

Piper was surprised; she hadn't realized what she said. It appeared that she always knew that.

Cole sat on the bed and pulled her onto his lap. Then he gently kissed her lips.

"I love you Angel. I thought I was happy, content, till I met you. You make me happy. Will you do me the honor of becoming my wife?"

Piper was stunned. She didn't expect a marriage proposal, so soon. The she remembered that Cole lived in New York.

"I do love you and would love to be your wife, but I don't want to leave. San Francisco is my home." She whispered, looking at her lap.

Cole smiled. Listening to her words it was easy to see that her memory was returning. His Angel found out who she was and where she belonged. Beside him, she had a family who loved her as much as she loved them.

"I could never take you away from your sisters, I just want to share you with them."

"You would give up your practice, for me?"

"I'll just open a practice here. So, what's your answer?"

"Yes, my answer is yes." She whispered. Then she gave him a long passionate kiss.

The next morning

Piper was in the kitchen, boiling water, when prue walked in.

"Morning."

"We need to talk, Piper."

"Okay." Piper said, sitting at the table, across from Prue.

"You're my sister and I love you, but what do you know about this Cole guy."

"Why don't you like him? He's a wonderful person. He was there when I needed someone and he didn't take advantage of my situation, like most guys would. He took care of me. I love him."

Prue just sighed.

"He asked me to marry him."

"You hardly know him!"

Piper smiled. "I said yes."

"What!"

"Calm down Prue, they can hear you in new York." Phoebe said as she walked into the room.

"The good doctor asked Piper to marry him and she said yes,"

"You're getting married? I'm so happy for you!" Phoebe squealed as she hugged Piper.

"Don't you get it Phoebe, she's moving to New York."

"Prue please…"

"Let me talk to her, Angel." Cole said, looking at Prue.

"Prue, I love Piper with all my heart. She makes me happy, content. I can't live without her."

"I understand, but you're taking her away when she just returned." Prue quietly said, as tears rolled down her cheeks.

Cole smiled as it dawned on him what the problem was.

Prue liked Cole, she just felt like she was losing her sister all over again.

When Cole placed his hand on hers, Prue looked up.

"I'm not taking Piper away from you two; I just want to share her with you. I applied for a position in San Francisco Memorial Hospital. I couldn't take Piper away from her home, so I'm making San Francisco my home."
