Chapter 23-A Family Behind Him
"What is it? What did you see?" Cole asked walking over to her and holding her up.
She was pale and had a look of pain on her face.
"They took him . . . And you," she said.
"Who?" he asked.
Cole was really starting to get worried. What evil had the power to take both him and their son?
"The Elders and the Cleaners," she told him, starting to sob.
The pain she had felt in her premonition was worse than anything she had ever felt-the emptiness and sadness she felt was unbearable. Having someone take her son and husband and not being able to do anything about it felt like someone had just ripped her heart out. They might as well of killed her because taking them away took away her will to live.
"What?" Cole asked.
Were the Elders really capable of stealing a child, especially a Charmed One's child? Of course, Cole wasn't exactly a fan of the Elders, but he never thought that they would go this far, to harm an innocent, a child.
Cole eased Pheobe into the rocking chair. She was unable to stand up on her own and tears were now streaming down her face.
"Tell me what happened," Cole said.
Pheobe started to tell him about what she had seen, the horrible pictures filled her head again, and she stopped in the middle, unable to continue.
Cole didn't force her to talk. He knew that it must have been hard. He picked her up and carried her to their bedroom, wanting her to get some rest. She needed to take her mind off her premonition for the time being. Stress would make her pregnancy harder and could possibly put both hers and the baby's life in danger.
Cole laid down with her and watched her until she fell asleep. She refused to go to sleep without him there, afraid of losing him. She finally fell asleep clinging to him.
Cole eased away from her and covered her up. He kissed her forehead as well as her stomach before leaving the room and making his way down the stairs. He needed to talk to Piper and Prue. They had to figure out what they were supposed to do, how they could fight something so powerful, something so supposedly 'good'.
He picked up the phone and started to dial Prue's cell phone number. The only thing he told her was that she needed to get home now. Once he was sure that she was on her way, he did the exact same thing to Piper.
Waiting for the girls to arrive, Cole stood in the sunroom, pacing. He couldn't stand still. He couldn't sit down knowing that the people that were supposed to be the upholders of good wanted to get rid of his son. He honestly didn't care that they had wanted him dead. He understood that. He had caused a lot of pain, done a lot of horrible things, but for them to hurt an innocent baby just because of his heritage. It was unacceptable.
Cole heard a car pull up and anxiously waited for someone to walk through the door. Piper walked in carrying both Wyatt and Chris. Cole walked over to her and helped her out, taking Wyatt out of her arms and holding him.
"What's wrong? It sounded urgent on the phone. Did a demon attack? Are Pheobe and the baby okay?" Piper asked, not knowing what to expect.
" Pheobe is fine. And the baby is fine for the moment," Cole told her.
"Cole, what does that mean?" Piper asked walking into the sunroom and putting Chris in the playpen.
Cole put Wyatt in the playpen as well.
Another car pulled up and Cole waited for Prue to walk in before continuing to tell Piper what had happened.
Once Prue was in the room, Cole continued.
"Pheobe had a premonition. Something about the Cleaners and the Elders. She didn't finish telling me about it. All I know is that they took the baby and me," Cole said.
"Why would they do that?" Prue asked.
"Probably because of his demonic powers," Cole said.
"This is just unacceptable. How can they do that? Take an innocent child. They tried to take Wyatt before but we stopped them. Don't worry, Cole. We'll stop them again. We won't let them take you or your child," Piper said.
"Thanks," Cole said. "Pheobe is upstairs asleep. The premonition was too much for her to handle. I'm afraid that this is too much stress on her."
"She's strong, Cole. I promise everything will be all right. You and her will get married and in two weeks you will have your son. No one is going to take that away from you or take you from us. If they want you, they will have to take me too," Prue said as she gave Cole a hug, trying to comfort him.
So how was it? I know. Not much accomplished in this chapter. Review please!
