Chapter 8-Saying Goodbye
She was sitting on the couch, Melinda in her lap, falling asleep, and Ben, nestled up beside her, falling asleep on her shoulder, but desperately trying to stay awake. It was about 9:00pm, only three hours until she would have to leave her precious children, children she would never get to have.
Cole walked in, a burping blanket over his shoulder, bottle in one hand, baby in the other. She loved seeing him this way. Fatherhood seemed to come natural to him. He sat down on the couch beside his family and started feeding Potter. After he was finished, he put the bottle on the table and started rocking Potter to sleep.
"Do you want me to carry Ben and Melinda to bed?" Cole asked seeing both of them asleep laying on their mother.
"No, they're fine," she answered looking at her sleeping children.
Cole started to stand up. Pheobe grabbed his hand.
"Can you just sit here with me, please?" she asked him.
"Okay, I'm just gonna go lay P..." Cole started to say.
"No. I want my whole family here," she interrupted him.
Cole sat back down.
"What's wrong?" he asked, concerned.
"Nothing," she said giving him a slight smile and carressing his cheek.
"I just want to sit with my family for a while."
He leaned in and gave her a sweet kiss.
They just sat there, quietly, the children sleeping, and their parents happy and content to watch them sleep. Cole, dare not move, afraid that he would wake Potter. Soon an hour went by. They had been watching a show and the hour had flown by.
"Two hours," Pheobe said under her breath.
They decided to put the kids to bed. Pheobe wanted to say goodbye to laid Potter in his bassinet in their room. Cole carried Ben up to his room, laid him in his bed, and kissed him goodnight. He, then, took Melinda from Pheobe's arms to lay her down in her room. Ben's eyes opened slightly.
"Mommy," he said in a sleepy voice.
"Hey sweetie. I love you so much. I want you to know that. Always remember that mommy loves you. Goodbye, baby," she said and kissed him on the cheek running her hand through his dark hair, Cole's hair.
"I love you, mommy. Goodnight," he said drifting back to sleep.
Pheobe, then walked into Melinda's room. She looked down at her sleeping little girl.
Hey, my sweet little girl. I love you so much. I would give up everything just to stay with you and your brothers and your daddy, but I can't. I will always love you," she said kissing her little girl, "Goodbye," she said, tears running down her cheeks.
She left her baby girl's room and walked into her own. She wiped away her tears before she walked in. She didn't want Cole to think that anything was wrong. She walked in and found Cole sitting in the rocking chair, holding a sleeping baby. Pheobe walked over to him and took the baby from him.
"Hey, honey, can you take these downstairs to the laundry room for me?" Pheobe asked handing him dirty clothes from the children's rooms just trying to get rid of him for a few minutes.
He took the clothes and did as she said. Pheobe took his place in the rocking chair.
"Hey, my sweet baby boy. I'm so sorry that I can't stay with you. I want to desperately, but I can't. I will always love you, and I will never forget you. You, your brother, and your sister will always be with me, in my heart. I will carry you with me until the day I die," she said, tears clouding up her vision.
She wiped them away and just sat there, holding him, looking at him, making sure that she would remember him. She, then, laid him in his bassinet.
"I love you. Goodbye," she said kissing the top of his head.
She heard Cole coming up the stairs, so she grabbed a stack of pictures and stuffed them into her pocket, and wiped away her tears.
Cole came in and kissed her.
"Cole, we need to talk," she said, her tone very serious.
"What is it?" he asked. "Is something wrong?"
"No, everything is perfect," she said looking into his gorgeous blue eyes.
They both sat down on the bed.
"You know that I love you," she said.
"I love you, too," he said. "What's wrong? Why are you talking like this?" he asked getting scared.
"Cole, please just let me finish. I love you and I always will. I never stopped loving you even when I told you that I didn't. I just wanted you to know that," she said.
Cole was confused and didn't know what was happening. She was talking like this would be the last time they would see each other.
"Can you just hold me?" she asked.
He nodded, still confused, and they both laid down on the bed. Soon Cole drifted to sleep. Pheobe just laid there, watching him and the the clock. Time seemed to be her worst enemy right now. Each minute that passed meant one less minute she had with her family. She looked at the clock. 11:55. Five more minutes. She gave Cole one last kiss.
"I love you, Cole. Goodbye, baby," she said before she got up.
She walked over to her baby and ran her hand through the little bit of hair he had.
"Bye, baby," she whispered and kissed his balled-up fist.
She walked to the bedroom door, took one last look at Cole, the last time she would see his face, and then left the room. She kissed both of her other children, and snuck a peek at Chris and Wyatt. She looked at Prue one last time, and then made her way downstairs and outside into the backyard where the woman appeared again.
Pheobe wa crying as she thought about leaving her children.....and Cole, and going back to a life where she was alone. No children. No Cole.
"Why did you bring me here if you were just going to take it all away from me," Pheobe yelled at the woman, tears streaming down her face.
There was something that you needed to find out. Now you know. You must save your nephews," the woman told her.
"From Paige," Pheobe finished.
"Paige is going to kill Wyatt and Chris when he is born. I need to stop her," she said.
"Will Prue come back if I kill Paige?" Pheobe asked.
"She should, but you can never tell," the woman said.
"Is there anyway I can change my time, to make my children exist?" she asked.
"In order for them to exist, their father would have to exist," the woman told her.
"So, if I can bring Cole back, I can have a chance to start this family?"Pheobe asked.
"You're firstborn should be born already. He should be a little younger than Wyatt. There is a possibilty that you can still have these children, but the chances are small," she said.
"Send me back. The sooner we kill Paige, the safer my nephew will be and I can focus my attention on bringing Cole back," Pheobe said.
"It is done," the woman said and with a wave of her hand, Pheobe was now standing in the kitchen where she had been when the woman had first appeared.
Was it any good? Please review. Will Pheobe kill Paige? Will Piper help her? Will Cole come back? Will I stop talking? You'll have to wait and find out.
For some stupid reason the computer won't let me indent, sorry
