((A/n Thank you all for your reviews again :), I decided that this chapter would be more about Paige and Cole getting together, Henry isn't mentioned much in this chapter but he will be in the 15th chapter I think. ))

Chapter 13 – Opposite attraction
Phoebe finished putting her make-up on, ''Where is Paige? She will be too late if she doesn't hurry up.'' She asked firing that question at Piper, whilst she got up. ''I don't know sweety, but she'll come, she promised and she can't miss it, she's bridesmaid.'' Piper answered, she handed Phoebe her dress, ''You just go get dressed an don't worry.'' She smiled at Phoebe. It was now a month later, Phoebe and Luke's wedding could finally take place and Piper and Paige were the bridesmaids, but Paige was late, as usual. She knew that Paige had been through a hard time with the break up and trying to figure out her feelings for Cole, but that definately wasn't an excuse to be late at your sister's wedding. Phoebe smiled back and took the dress, ''Okay, thanks Piper.'' ''You're welcome.'' Piper said as she picked up her own dress. Phoebe flashed her another small smile and walked out.
Paige orbed into Cole's livingroom, she fiddled with her top and looked around the bright room, ''Cole?'' she said tentatively. No one answered, she looked around once again and then slowly walked to his bedroom, her expectations were right, he was asleep on the bed. She made her way into the bedroom and walked to the bed, ''Cole?'' she said quietly. Her belly was slowly starting to show, Paige was 3 months pregnant now and she wasn't exactly liking the pregnancy, the morning sickness and the fact that her breasts and feet were swollen really annoyed her. She sat down on the bed carefully, ''Cole wake up.'' She patted his arm gently. Cole moaned slightly and shuffled before he woke up. He opened his eyes and looked straight into Paige's. ''Paige..what are you doing here?'' he asked as he sat up slightly. ''I want to ask you something.'' She replied. ''Okay, ask away.'' Cole said, they didn't start a relationship after paige had broken up with Henry, she had told Cole that she needed some time to think and he had agreed with her, he didn't want to rush himself, or Paige, into anything. Paige looked at him, ''I just thought.. well..do you want to come to the wedding with me? I mean I can understand if you don't want to go with being phoebe's ex-husband and all, but we can give it a try right?'' she rambeled. Cole let out a laugh, ''You're rambeling Paige.'' He said. Paige flashed him a smile, ''Sorry.'' She replied. Cole shook his head slightly, ''Don't be and if you're sure that you want me to come then I will.'' Cole said a smile forming at the corners of his mouth. Paige smiled back slightly, ''You do?'' Cole nodded, ''Yeah, but isn't it going to start in about 30 minutes?'' he asked. Paige looked at Cole's alarm clock on the nightstand, ''Oh my God, I'm late.'' She said as she got up, ''Cole..'' Cole smiled at her, ''Go Paige, I'll be there, promise.'' Paige gave him a smile in return, ''Okay, I'll see you there then.'' She kissed him on his cheek gently and gave him a last glance before she orbed out. Cole pushed the covers off himself, he could still feel the marks Paige's lips had left on his cheek and that feeling put a smile on his face. He had his feelings sorted now, he wanted to start a relationship with Paige and he was going to make it work this time.
Paige orbed into Piper's bedroom, ''Piper I'm so sorry I just had to..'' Piper didn't let her finish the sentence, ''No Paige, I don't have to hear it, just get dressed, you're too late!'' Piper said as she pushed Paige's bridesmaid's dress into her hands. ''But Piper I..'' ''Go get dressed.'' Piper repeated and she walked out of the room. Paige rolled her eyes and looked at the dress, ''I hope I still fit into this.'' She said to herself. Paige let out a small sigh, she still couldn't imagine herself being a mum, she wasn't sure if she could handle it. She looked at her dress again, 'Well lets just put it on.' She thought and she walked out of Piper's room, going to her own room.
Downstairs Piper was making sure that all the guests took place. She spotted Luke and Leo in the doorway, Leo sorted out Luke's tie and then gave him a friendly and supportive pat on the shoulder. Piper smiled slightly to herself, she was glad that Leo and Luke could get along so well. She turned around as she felt a soft hand on her shoulder, Elise, Phoebe's boss, asked her where she had to sit down. Piper gave her a warm smile and walked with her to show her, her seat.
Paige stood in her bedroom, her back turned to the mirror struggeling with the zipper of her dress, ''Damn it just close.'' She said as she hold her breath hoping that, that would work. She rolled her eyes as it didn't, ''I can't go downstairs like this!'' Paige sighed, the dress had still fitted 3 weeks ago, her baby hadn't grown that fast had it? ''Need a hand then?'' Cole's deep voice said. Paige looked up and smiled, ''You came.'' She said. ''Of course.'' He replied as he looked at the mint-green dress Paige was wearing, or actually half wearing. A smile played on his lips, she looked beautiful. He moved closer to her, ''Let me help.'' He said. Paige nodded and turned around, Cole put his left hand on her waist gently and used his other hand to close the dress. Paige closed her eyes as she felt him put his warm hand on her waist, the butterflies in her stomach returned again she hadn't felt this loved up since ages. ''Done.'' Cole said, his voice brought paige back from her daydream and she turned to him again so that she faced him, ''Thanks Cole.'' He flashed a smile at her, ''You're welcome.'' He said. Paige smiled back and tucked her hair behind her ear, ''Ready to go then?'' she asked. ''Not yet.'' He replied a smile forming on his lips again. Paige smiled back, ''Why not?'' Cole wrapped his musclar arms around Paige and pulled her closer. '"Cole..'' paige said, but in stead of argueing she found herself moving her arms around his neck. Cole lowered his head and pressed his lips on hers gently. Paige smiled and closed her eyes as she kissed back lightly. Cole pulled her closer into his arms and deepened the kiss.
Piper walked upstairs, 'Paige you better be ready now.' She thought as she made her way to Paige's bedroom, she opened the door and walked in. Paige pulled away from Cole immediately as she heard her door open, she looked at the door and saw Piper walking in. Piper stopped surprised to find Cole in Paige's bedroom, she looked at them and spotted the lipstick on Cole's cheek, she let out a cough, ''Right, Paige are you ready?'' she asked. Paige nodded, ''Yeah, erm..I am.'' She replied as she glanced at Cole. He smiled slightly. "Good.'' Piper said, ''Then come downstairs with me, because we're going to begin.'' She looked at Cole, ''You better go downstairs as well, if you want to watch.'' She said. Cole nodded slowly, ''Okay.'' ''Oh and Cole?'' Piper said. ''Yeah?'' ''You've got lipstick on your cheek.'' Piper grabbed Paige's hand and walked out of the bedroom with her. Cole let out a small laugh and wiped the lipstick off his cheek, then he followed Piper and Paige downstairs.
Later at the reception Phoebe stood at a table, next to her new husband, she kept smiling and looked up at Luke and he smiled back at her. She hadn't felt this happy for a long time and she was sure that Luke wasn't a demon who wanted to turn her evil like Cole had tried when they got married, speaking of Cole she hadn't seen him for a while. Phoebe had seen him standing in the doorway when she and Luke had exchanged the vows, but after that he seemed to have disappeared. She looked around the room, maybe Paige knew where he was, but she couldn't find Paige anywhere either. 'She probably tired and upstairs in her bedroom.' She thought and she didn't worry about it, Paige would be fine and Cole probably had gone to the Underworld to vanquish some demons. She started talking to a colleague from her work.
Cole gently pushed Paige against the wall, kissing her neck gently. Downstairs the sound of music and talking people were heard. Paige and Cole had sneaked upstairs, hoping that nobody would miss them. Paige ran her hands up Cole's chest and took his jacket off, she wanted him more than ever at the moment. Cole continued his trail of small kisses in her neck and allowed Paige to take his jacket off. She let out a quiet moan and held onto his shirt gently. He smiled and pulled bk slightly keeping his face close to hers, ''You think we should go to my place?'' he asked, but Paige shook her head, ''Here is fine.'' She replied and she kissed him gently on his lips. Cole smiled and started to kiss her neck again. Paige closed her eyes and begun to unbutton his shirt, 5 years ago she'd never thought that she would end up with Cole like this, 'Apparently Opposites do really attract.' She thought and she tilted her head back slightly as Cole kissed slightly harder. Cole moved his hand up her arm and slowly pulled the strap of Paige's dress off her shoulder, he smiled as he heard Paige gasp slightly and moved his attention to her shoulder.
Later that evening Paige was laid in bed in Cole's arms, she ran her finger across his chest softly. Cole smiled and shivered slightly by her touch, he turned his head and looked at her, ''You okay?" he asked. ''Of course I am, never been better.'' She replied, Cole could hear by the tone of her voice that she was smiling. He kissed the top of her head, ''Good.'' He said. Downstairs the music and the talking were still going on and as long as they heard that they didn't have to worry about someone walking into Paige's bedroom. Paige let out a small sigh, ''This wasn't a one night stand was it?'' she asked carefully, not that she wanted it to be one, she just wanted to make sure that she and Cole wouldn't stop having this as soon as they got dressed. She felt Cole move slightly, ''No, I hope not.'' He answered truthfully. Paige lifted her head up slightly and looked into Cole's speaking blue eyes, they told her about the way Cole felt for her and she smiled, ''Me either.'' She said and she brushed her finger over his lower lip. Cole kissed the top of her finger and pulled her closer, ''I like this.'' He said. Paige rested her head onto his chest, ''Lying like this you mean?'' ''Hm-hmm.'' Cole grumbled. Paige smiled, ''Me too, it's comfortable.'' Cole let out a small laugh, ''Yeah, it wasn't what I was on about, but it will do.'' He said. Paige closed her eyes feeling tired and sighed slightly. ''Go sleep Paige, You don't have to stay awake for me.'' Cole told her. Paige nodded slightly, '''But what if someone walks in?'' she said quietly. ''Doubt it.'' Cole replied, ''They're too busy with having fun.'' He ran his hand down Paige's back and felt her move slightly. Cole smiled and pulled the sheets up slightly. ''Thanks.'' He heard Paige mumble. ''Hmm'' he replied as he closed his eyes, before he could realize that the music downstairs had stopped he fell asleep.
Leo walked around the Manor, ''Phoebe have you seen Paige?'' he asked her, but Phoebe shook her head, ''I haven't seen her since the reception started.'' She replied, ''But I think she went upstairs, maybe she was tired?'' she said. Leo shrugged slightly, ''Maybe, I'll go and check and congratulations again.'' He said smiling at Phoebe. Phoebe smiled back, ''Thanks hunny.'' Leo nodded and walked off, he made his way upstairs and walked towards Paige's bedroomdoor, it was closed. He knocked gently, ''Paige?'' he said. When he didn't get an answer he opened the door carefully hoping it wouldn't crack. Leo poked his head around the door and his mouth dropped open when he saw Paige and Cole in bed together, Paige cuddled into Cole tightly. They had obviously slept together. Leo shook his head slightly, he couldn't believe that of all people Paige would sleep with Cole. 'Maybe they were drunk?' leo thought, but no that couldn't be it, Paige didn't drink and she was pregnant as well. He let out a sigh and closed the door, he would give Paige his lecture tomorrow, right now he had to help clean up downstairs and Leo turned around and walked back downstairs.
The next morning Cole woke up early, he looked around the room a several time before it all came back to him. He looked at Paige and a smile spread out over his face he moved slightly and stroked her arm softly, he had always liked her white skin he just didn't want to admit it until recently. Paige mumbled something quietly before she started to wake she felt the cold sheets against her chest which made her remember what had happened last night. She slowly shifted onto her other side and looked into Cole's deep blue pools. ''Morning.'' He said kissing her gently on her lips. Paige smiled at him, ''Hey you.'' She replied. Cole stroked her hair, ''Slept well?'' he asked her not looking away from her eyes. Paige nodded slightly, ''Really nice, you?'' ''Yeah, never better.'' He replied smiling as he pulled her a bit closer. Paige let out a small sigh and cuddled into him smelling his typical smell, she planted a soft kiss on his chest. Cole looked at her and kissed the top of her head, ''We should actually get dressed.'' He told her. ''Hmm, don't want to.'' Paige replied quietly. ''I know sweety, but otherwise they'll catch us and I'm not sure if you want to tell them already.'' Paige looked at him as he called her sweety, not that she minded she just didn't think he would already. She smiled slightly at him and sat up looking around the room for her clothes which were, again, scattered throughout the room. She reached under the bed an grabbed a piece of clothing, she looked at it, Cole's shirt. Paige put it on and pulled it down slightly. Cole watched her even his shirt which was too big for her still looked good on her. He smiled slightly to himself and sat up as Paige got up and started to collect her clothes. ''Won't be long.'' She said as she walked out of her bedroom.
Cole smiled slightly and got up he collected his clothes, or what was left of them, and got dressed. A few minutes later Paige sneaked back into the bedroom closing the door behind herself. Cole looked at her, ''That's quick.'' He said. Paige smiled and handed him his shirt, ''I know.'' She replied. ''Thanks.'' Cole said as he took his shirt and put it on. ''You know I like you better without.'' Paige told him as she sat down on the end of her bed. Cole let out a small laugh, ''I think i've noticed.'' He answered as he buttoned his shirt back up and then grabbed his tie and jacket of the bed. Paige looked up at him, ''Are you going already?'' she asked sounding a bit disappointed. He nodded slowly, ''Yeah, I think it's better if I do.'' He said ''Alright, when will we meet again?'' she asked smiling as she got up. Cole walked towards her, ''Tonight? We have to tell your sisters about us as well.'' ''Piper knows, at least I think she does so that only leaves Phoebe and Leo and tonight is fine.'' Paige replied. ''Good, we can discuss when we're going to tell them then as well.'' Cole said as he wrapped his arms around Paige. Paige looked up at him and gave him a smile, ''I'll be looking forward to tonight.'' She said. ''Me too.'' Cole replied he lowered his head slightly and kissed her lightly on her lips, ''I'm going to go now.'' Paige nodded, ''Okay, bye Cole.'' Cole let go off her, ''I'll see you.'' He replied and he shimmered out. Paige let out a happy sigh, she hadn't felt this good in ages especially now she knew where she was stood.
Piper and Leo walked into the kitchen laughing and both still dressed for bed, Piper looked around the kitchen and hre laughed died away, ''Oh my God it's such a mess and there hasn't even a demon attacked.'' She said. Leo let out a small laugh, ''Worry about that later hunny, we had a good time didn't we?'' he replied, he seemed to have forgotten about catching Paige and Cole in bed together. ''Hmm.'' Piper grumbeled, ''I guess you're right, want some coffee?'' she asked. Leo nodded, ''Always.'' He said as he walked over to the kitchentable, he moved some wrapping paper out of the way and sat down on a chair. Piper walked to the counter and started to make coffee, ''It's going to be busy at the Manor now.'' She said. They had decided that for a while it would be the best if Luke just moved in, until they had everthing sorted for their own little place. Paige was the only one who hadn't exactly liked the idea, she had said that she didn't want to be the fifth wheel, but Piper had told her not worry and that there wouldn't be too much coupling going on, at least not in the livingroom. Piper smiled slightly to herself as she got two mugs from the cupboard. ''Yeah, I know.'' Leo replied, he picked up the newspaper and opened it. ''I hope Paige won't be feeling too lonely.'' Piper said as she poured coffee into the mugs. Leo looked up as he remembered what he had discovered last night, 'I bet she won't.' He thought to himself. ''I think she'll be okay.'' Leo replied to Piper, he wasn't going to tell her, he would Paige confront with the fact that he had seen them and then he would tell her to explain it to her sisters herself. ''Morning.'' Paige's voice said. Leo looked up and saw Paige walking into the kitchen, 'Oh Cole has left.' He thought. ''Morning Paige.'' He replied sounding like he was trying to give her a guilt feeling. Paige gave him a confused look and grabbed Piper's coffee mug. ''Hey I was going to drink that!'' piper said. Paige smiled innocently at her, ''I have to drink for two.'' She replied as she put her hand on her stomach. ''You do realize I'm only letting you get away with this because you're pregnant?'' piper said as she smiled back, she wasn't really angry this actually happened almost every morning. Paige nodded and took a sip from the coffee. ''Paige, can I talk to you for a second?'' Leo asked as he stood up. Paige looked at him, ''Yeah of course.'' She replied. Leo made his way out of the kitchen and Piper gave Paige a questioning look. Paige shrugged slightly and followed Leo, ''What's it about Leo?'' she asked. Leo turned around so he was facing her, ''About you and Cole.'' He said. Paige looked at him, ''What do you mean?'' she questioned. ''Paige you know exactly what I mean, I've seen you and him in bed together last night.'' He explained.
''Oh..you did? Well..right.'' she stuttered. ''Why Paige? You hate him.'' Leo started to get annoyed. ''Why do you think Leo? I've fallen in love with him and he with me.'' Paige replied as she put her mug down on the dinner table. ''Don't be stupid Paige, whitelighters and demons don't fall in love, they're not supposed to.'' Leo told her, his voice a bit louder than meant to. Paige jumped slightly by the tone of Leo's voice, she wouldn't let him tell her who to fall in love with, ''Well guess what Leo, we did, and technically I'm not a whitelighter I'm half-whitelighter.'' She said starting to get annoyed as well. ''That does not change the fact that you can't be with him.'' Leo said. ''Oh well and what are you going to do? Tell my sisters?" Paige answered sounding more angry now. ''No as the matter of fact, I'm not, You'll have to tell them yourself that you have slept with Cole last night.'' He said. ''You what?'' Phoebe's voice said. Paige and Leo both looked at the doorway, Phoebe was stood in it her arms folded and her gaze focused on both Leo and Paige.
((whoo that was chapter 13! Hope you liked it, I just felt like ending it with a Cliffhanger, I'm not telling yet if Phoebe will get mad or that she will accept it, it's my secret :P In the next chapter, Leo and Paige will be argueing a lot because Leo thinks it's not right that she is with Cole, but I think that he will eventually accept it. Hope to put chapter 14 up soon.. Xxxxx - Sas))
