Chapter 24-Wedding Bells

Today was the big day. The family decided that with everything going on, they didn't need to reschedule the wedding day. It would be good for Pheobe for Cole to be her husband again, make her feel more secure. Since her premonition a couple of days ago, she had been on edge and scared. Cole stayed up with her all night trying to get her to sleep.

Cole had heard her screaming in her sleep the night before, tears streaming down her face.

"Please don't. He's my baby. We'll strip his powers, please," she begged. "No, not Cole. He's not evil. He won't use his powers. He'll quit using them, I promise, but please don't take my family," she pleaded and then she just cried, not saying anything else.

Cole didn't know if he should wake her up or not so he just sat in bed, holding her, telling her that it would be all right. She must have heard him in her sleep, because soon, the crying ceased and she seemed to sleep pleasantly the rest of the night.

They woke up at around 8:30 in the morning. Cole and Pheobe walked downstairs where Piper had breakfast waiting. Piper was on the phone making sure that the flowers would arrive in the next hour. Cole held Pheobe's chair out for her and, then he fixed both of them a plate of food.

After they finished breakfast, Piper, Prue, and Pheobe walked upstairs to get ready for the wedding.

Since Cole knew it would only take him a few minutes to get ready, he offered to feed the boys breakfast and get them ready. Piper gladly accepted the help, since she was tangled up in all of the wedding arrangements.

Cole fed the children with ease. Both of the boys had become very comfortable with Cole and seemed to get along well with him. He was able to bathe both of them and get them dressed without a disaster occurring. Wyatt had already started to call Cole, 'uncle Cole' which none of the sisters had a problem with it as cole thought they would. After all, after today, he would be uncle Cole. The boys seemed interested in everything Cole did, probably since he was the only man in the house.

Wyatt watched intently as Cole tried to straighten his tie.

"Hey, buddy," Cole said picking up the toddler. "Aren't you supposed to be in your room?"

"Unc Co," was all that Wyatt said.

Cole laughed at this.

"Come on, buddy. Let's go take you back to your room," Cole told the child.

Wyatt touched Cole's shoulder.

"Ride," he said and put his finger back in his mouth.

"You want a ride?" Cole asked, knowing Wyatt had loved it when he put him on his shoulders the day before.

The little boy nodded.

"Okay," Cole said, putting Wyatt on his broad shoulders and starting to walk down the hall.

The two-year-old child laughed loudly as Cole walked.

Hearing Wyatt, all three women walked out of the room and saw Cole with Wyatt.

"He really loves Cole," Piper said, smiling at the sound of her son's laughter.

"Yeah," Prue said.

After a moment of watching them, they went back into the room in order to finish getting ready. Pheobe's make-up and hair was done and now all she needed was the dress. Prue had done Pheobe's make-up while Piper did her hair. After that, they helped each other with their own hair and make-up.

An hour and a half later, everyone was ready.

The wedding was going to be small, just in the house. They couldn't do it in a church because Grams was the one who was going to be conducting the wedding.

Since Grams was beyond the Elders now, she could come, but Pheobe's mother couldn't come as Pheobe had feared. The Elders forbid it. They were against the wedding.

The wedding itself resembled Piper's, with the arch and the flowers.

The first person to walk down the aisle was Prue. Behind her, Piper walked holding Wyatt's hand, making sure that the child didn't drop or try to eat the wedding rings. Chris was sitting with his grandfather, Victor, fidgeting.

Once Piper, Prue, and Wyatt were standing near Grams and Cole, the wedding march song started.

Victor and Sheila, Darryl's wife (Darryl still doesn't want anything to do with them)stood up and turned toward the stairs to watch as the bride walked down.

Pheobe walked down the stairs carrying a bouquet of white roses and made her way to Cole.

Cole stood there, mesmerized by Pheobe. She was beautiful. Her huge bulging belly made her even more beautiful to him. The dress matched her perfectly.

Pheobe tried to smile as she walked, but it was becoming increasingly harder. She couldn't help but think about the Cleaners. They only had a little under two weeks to figure out how to stop them, before they would appear and take away everything she loved. How could she smile knowing that her husband could soon be gone, that she would never get to see her son grow up? She was scared to death about what could happen. The Cleaners were unstoppable, unable to be killed, since they were neither good nor evil.

She tried to suppress what she was feeling at the moment, so that she could have a nice day. This should be one of the happiest days of her life.

Once she was standing beside Cole, Grams began the hand fasting ritual. It was a beautiful ceremony in which Cole recited his own vowls(I forgot how to spell and I can't find the spell checker, sorry). Phoebe did the same, although Cole could tell that she was preoccupied and he understood.

An hour later, they were a married couple. They mingled with the family and acted happy, which of course they were. They wanted to be together, but deep down they were afraid that they would be torn apart, that the Elders would succeed.

Ok, so how was it? Now they will put all of their effort into stopping the Cleaners and the Elders. How will that work? Review, please
