Chapter 17 – Rules are meant to be broken.

It was now a month later, Paige was standing in front of the window. She watched the rain pouring down the glass and let out a small sigh. She didn't like rain, it gave her a sad feeling and that was one of the reason she prefered summer and spring over winter and fall, it didn't rain as much. She felt two arms wrap themselves around her waist, ''Hey.'' She said, smiling. ''Hey baby.'' Cole kissed her cheek softly, ''You smell gorgeous.'' He told her. Paige let out a small laugh, ''Ralph Lauren.'' She replied. A smile played on Cole's lips, ''Are you trying to seduce me Miss. Matthews?'' he moved his hands to her waist. Paige smiled and turned to him, ''What if I am?'' she replied as she moved her arms over his shoulders. ''Hmm.'' Cole lowered his head and kisses Paige softly on her lips. Paige smiled as she felt his lips touch hers and kissed back. Cole gently pulled her closer and deepened the kiss. Paige returned it, but then pulled back slightly, ''Hunny, I have to go and feed Glen.'' She said. Cole looked at her and then glanced at the clock, ''Oh right, I have to pick something up anyways.'' He replied. Paige looked up at him, ''Okay.'' She lowered his head slightly and kissed him on his cheek, ''I love you.'' She said. ''Love you too and I won't be long.'' Cole replied, he flashed her a smile and then walked out off the livingroom. Paige let out a small sigh and picked Glen up from his playpen. She walked into the kitchen with him on her arm and picked up the bottle that she had already made for Glen 15 minutes ago. Just as Paige wanted to start feeding him, bright blue lights surrounded the kitchen. Paige turned around when the lights died away and she found an Elder standing in her kitchen. ''Katie.'' She said, ''What are you doing here?'' Katie was a good friend of Paige, she was an Elder, though very friendly and she didn't always follow the rules herself either, just like Paige. ''Paige, the Elders have found out about the mortal Cole has vanquished.'' Ahe told her. Paige her eyes widened, this couldn't be true. She had made a deal with the Elders, as long as Cole didn't kill any innocents she could stay with him, but if he did.. ''What? No let me talk to them.'' She replied as she placed Glen's bottle back on the counter. Katie shook her head, ''It's no use, Paige, I've tried to talk it out of them as well, but they won't listen. You have got 20 minutes to pack your stuff and go back to the Manor.'' ''B-but what about Cole?'' Paige asked, she couldn't believe that she was made to leave him. '"Write him a letter.'' Katie whispered, ''I'll make sure he receives it.'' Paige bit her lower lip and handed Glen to Katie, ''He needs feeding.'' She said and with those words she walked out of the kitchen.

Cole's car pulled up outside his house, Cole unbuckled his seatbelt and got out of the car. He picked the flowers up out of the backseat and then closed the door and locked the car. Cole looked up at the house and smiled slightly, he made his way towards it and opened the front door, ''Sweety, I'm back.'' He called whilst walking in and closing the door behind himself again. There was no answer. ''Paige?'' Cole said whilst he walked into the livingroom, no one was there. When Cole walked into the kitchen he didn't find Paige there either, 'Maybe she's asleep.' He thought to himself as he walked up the stairs. It was too quiet around the house. Cole made his way into the bedroom, ''What the hell…'' He said, he looked around the room. Some of Paige her stuff were gone and there was an envelope on the pillow on the waterbed. Cole walked over to the bed and sat down on it gently, he picked the envelope up. Cole wasn't sure if he wanted to read it, he had a bad feeling about all of this, but stubborn as he was, he opened the envelope and took a letter out, he started reading it.

Dear Cole,

I don't know where to start, first of all I am really sorry. The Elders found out about your vanquish from a month ago and they're making me leave you, because I had a deal with them. As long as you didn't kill any innocents I was allowed to stay with you. This is not your fault, though Sweety. I should've known we would get into trouble and I guess these are the consequences. I can't believe how much this hurts and please forgive me for hurting you. Being with you has been great, I don't think I have ever loved someone as much as I love you. Please don't hate me, Cole and don't come and see me, you might only make it worse. I am sure you would've made a great dad for Glen, but I guess we'll never find out. I'll keep loving you, even though we're not together anymore. Again, I am so sorry.

Love,

Paige.

Cole traced his finger over the marks that Paige's tears had left on the ink. He took a deep breath and slowly started to realize what was going on. He slipped his hand into his pocket and took out a beautiful small velvet box. Cole had spent over a month to find the perfect ring and now it had been all for nothing. He threw the box against the wall, the ring fell out of it and rolled back over the rug to his feet. ''Why?'' he yelled as he stood up. ''Why paige?'' he yelled again, looking up at the ceiling. He had finally figured out that Paige was the one for him and now they were taking her away from him? Cole formed an energyball and threw it against the wall. Some picture frames fell on the floor, but Cole didn't care. Once again his demonic side had ruined his relationship.

Cole turned around when he saw someone orbing into the bedroom, ''Paige?'' he said hopefully, but in stead of Paige an Elder had just orbed into the room. ''Cole.'' He started. ''Get out!'' Cole said, his voice unsteady from the rage he felt. ''Cole, listen..'' the Elder said, refusing to go. 'I said, GET OUT!'' Cole yelled, whilst pointing towards the door. His hand was trembling with violence. The Elder looked at him and then decided that it was better to orb out. When the blue lights died away, Cole picked up that small silver ring and shimmered out.

Paige orbed into her bedroom, trying to argue with the Elders hadn't worked. She kicked her shoes off gently, ''Damn Elders, this is ridiculous.'' She mumbled pissed off. Cole shimmered into the bedroom and Paige looked up, ''Cole..'' she said. Cole shook his head to make her be quiet and he got down on one knee in front of her, he showed Paige the ring, ''Marry me, Paige.'' He said. Paige chuckled slightly and then started to cry, ''Cole, don't..we can't.'' she replied, sobbing slightly. ''We can Paige, we'll orb to Fiji or something.'' Cole said as he took her hand. Paige pulled her hand away from his', ''Please, don't make this harder than it already is.'' She walked over to the window. Cole stood up, ''Paige, For God's Sake, I'm not going to let them take you away from me.'' He said as he placed his hand on her shoulder. Paige turned around and looked up at Cole, ''You don't understand, Cole, they will clip my wings if I don't listen and I can't do that to my sisters.'' She explained. Cole put his hand on her cheek, ''But I love you.'' He said quietly. Paige moved her head into his cupped hand, ''I love you too and I'm sorry.'' She looked into his eyes. Cole bit his lower lip and then hugged Paige gently. She hugged back, ''You have to go.'' She whispered. Cole shook his head, ''Come to the Mausoleum tonight, they won't sense us there.'' He whispered back as he rubbed her back gently. ''Sweety.'' Paige closed her eyes. ''Please.'' Cole begged, he pulled away from the hug slightly and looked into her eyes, ''Rules are meant to be broken, Paige.'' He told her quietly whilst wiping a tear off her cheek. A small smile played on Paige's lips and she nodded in agreement, ''I'll be there are 11.'' She said. Cole smiled slightly and kissed ehr cheek softly. Paige placed her hand on his chest, ''Love you.'' She said. ''I love you too, Paige, so much. Before Paige could say anything else Cole shimmered out and she let out a small sigh, 'They better not find out.' She thought to herself.

At 10:40pm, Paige tucked Glen in again, ''Now go back to sleep again sweety, night.'' She stroked his cheek. Glen closed his eyes feeling tired and Paige walked out of the room. Glen was staying with Paige in her bedroom so that he wouldn't wake Chris and Wyatt up at night. Paige closed the door quietly and went downstairs. Piper and Leo were sat on the couch in the livingroom, Piper was cuddled into Leo tightly, ''How is Paige holding up?'' Leo stroked Piper's arm softly. Piper looked at Leo, ''I'm not sure, She was pretty upset earlier.'' She replied as she played with Leo's hand. ''Hmm.'' He grumbled in reply. They both looked up as they heard heels walking into the livingroom. ''Paige, hey.'' Piper said, smiling carefully. ''Hey, I'm going to do something, Pheebs is looking after Glen.'' She announced. Piper nodded, ''Okay, hunny, where are you going?'' she asked. ''Erm..the Cementary.'' Paige replied whilst looking at her hands. Leo looked at her, ''Paige..'' he said with his whitelighter voice. Paige looked at him, ''What?'' she said innocently. ''You're going to see Cole aren't you?'' Paige shrugged slightly in reply. ''Paige, if the Elders find out about this, they will clip your wings.'' Leo sat up and gave Paige a strict look. ''I don't care, Leo.'' Paige said and she disappeared in a swirl of blue lights without issueing them both a goodbye. Leo rolled his eyes and Piper hit him gently, ''She knows what she's doing hunny, stop being a whitelighter now it's past 10.'' She told her husband. ''I just don't want her to get her wings clipped, she would put you all in danger.'' Leo replied. Piper turned to him, ''Listen, if you're only going to complain then I will just go and take a shower.'' She said, looking at him. ''Fine, I'll stop.'' He replied. ''Thank you.'' Piper cuddled back into Leo.

Paige orbed onto the dark Mausoleum, ''Cole?'' she said, sounding slightly nervous and squinting her eyes slightly. Her eyes searched through the dark for something that moved. Paige felt a warm hand on her shoulder and spun around. ''Hun, it's just me.'' Cole's voice said. ''Cole, hey.'' He heartbeat calmed down slightly again. Cole smiled slightly, ''Wait here.'' He told her. Paige felt Cole move away from her, she heard him moving around around slightly and a few seconds later a warm light felt the cold, dark place. Cole had lit some candles so they could see something. Paige smiled, ''You really think of everything, don't you?'' she said. Cole nodded and walked back to her, ''It's not the most romantic place, but at least the Elders won't be able to sense us here.'' He replied. ''Yeah I know.'' Paige felt Cole wrap his arms around her body, ''Are you cold?'' he asked her. Paige nodded, ''A little.'' She replied as she rested her head against his chest. Cole moved his hands down her back, ''I don't want to lose you, Paige.'' He fiddled with her top slightly. Paige looked up at him, ''You won't Cole, I promise.'' She replied, moving her hand to his cheek. Cole smiled weakly and lowered his head slightly, ''I love you.'' He said. ''I love you too.'' Paige replied. Cole looked into her eyes and then kissed her softly. It had seemed a lifetime to both of them before their lips could finally meet again. Paige kissed back and moved her arms around his neck.

The next morning Cole woke up with a backache, he looked around and discovered that he had fallen asleep in the Mausoleum. Next to him layed Paige, still asleep. Cole pat her arm gently, ''Sweety?'' he moved some of her hair out of her face. Paige moved slightly and continued sleeping. A small smile formed on Cole's lips and he lowered his head to her ear, ''Paige, wake up hun.'' He whispered. ''It's not his feeding time yet.'' She mumbled quietly, just before she woke up. Cole stroked her arm softly, ''Morning.'' He said. Paige moaned slightly and sat up, she rubbed her neck lightly, ''What are we doing here?'' she asked when she discovered that they were still at the Mausoleum. Cole smiled slightly, ''I think we were tired last night, are you okay?'' he asked when he saw Paige rubbing her neck again. She nodded slightly, ''Neckache.'' She replied. Cole got up and helped Paige to stand up as well. ''Thanks.'' She said as she let go off his hand. ''Maybe you should go back.'' Cole said as he placed his hands on her waist. Paige nodded in reply, ''But I wan't a kiss goodbye first.'' She told him, smiling. Cole gave her a smile in return, ''Are you sure?'' he raised his eyebrow. ''Yeah.'' Paige replied whilst she lowered his head. Cole laughed slightly and kissed her softly. Paige kissed back and moved her arms over his shoulders. She felt Cole gently pull her closer and he pulled back slightly. ''Love you.'' He said whilst brushing his finger over her lips. ''I love you too.'' Paige replied. ''You better go now.'' Cole said. Paige nodded and kissed his cheek lightly, ''Bye Sweety.'' ''Bye hun.'' He replied and he watched Paige disappearing in that familiar swirl of blue lights.

Paige orbed into the Manor's kitchen, ''Paige! Where have you been?'' Phoebe's voice sounded through the bright room. Paige jumped slightly, ''Phoebe, not so loud.'' She told her older sister. Phoebe walked towards her, ''Were you at the Mausoleum all night?'' she asked. ''How do you know I was there?'' Paige grabbed an apple and took a bite. ''Well Piper said you were going to see C..'' Paige interrupted her, ''Shush!'' she called with her mouth full of apple and she pointed up at the ceiling. Phoebe's eyes widened, ''Sorry and your'e not allowed to speak with your mouth filled.'' She whispered. Paige finished the piece of apple, ''I was visiting my foster parent's grave at the cementary.'' She said, whilst giving Phoebe a look. ''Right, your foster parent's grave.'' Phoebe handed Paige a bottle with formula, ''Well then you're right on time to feed your son and say hi to him, because a certain sister of yours has looked after him all night long.'' Paige flashed her an apologising smile, ''Sorry.'' She said as she took the bottle, ''I'll go and feed him now.'' And with that, Paige walked out of the kitchen. ''You're welcome!'' Phoebe called after her. ''No problem!'' Paige called back. Phoebe shook her head slightly as the doorbell rang, 'Who can that be?' she wondered as she made her way to the front door. She answered it and found Henry standing outside on the steps, ''Henry, hi, what are you doing here?'' she asked. ''It's Saturday, I came to pick Glen up.'' He explained. ''Oh right, you have him in the weekends..um..Okay come in then.'' She stepped aside. Henry smiled slightly and entered the Manor. Phoebe closed the door behind him, ''Paige is upstairs, you know how to get there.'' Henry nodded, ''Thanks.'' He said and he made his way to the stairs and went up.

Paige stood in front of the window, feeding Glen. She watched him and smiled, ''A hungry little boy aren't you?'' She put the bottle down when Glen had finished it and stroked his cheek softly, whilst looking out of the window. Her eye caught Henry's silver car, 'Is it Saturday already?' she thought to herself. Paige turned around to go downstairs and noticed Henry leaning against the doorway, ''Henry, how long have you been standing there?'' she asked, whilst walking over to him with Glen in her arms. ''A couple of minutes.'' He replied. ''How did you know I was back at the Manor?'' she asked, whilst cradling Glen gently. ''Cole told me.'' Henry replied simply, he looked at Glen, ''Can I hold him?'' he looked back at Paige. ''Erm, sure you can.'' Paige handed Glen to Henry. He smiled and tickled Glen softly, ''He's growing so fast.'' He said. Paige nodded slightly, ''Yeah. I'll pack his bag for you.'' She walked over to her bed and grabbed the bag from underneath it. She heard Henry talking to Glen and smiled slightly, it reminded her of Cole talking like that to her son. She started packing some of Glen's stuff, whilst Herny walked around rocking him gently, ''He looks so much like you, you know that?'' he told Paige. Paige nodded slightly in reply, ''He looks a lot like you too, though.'' She replied as she put some diapers in the bag. ''Hmm.'' Henry grumbled in reply as he walked towards the window.
20 minutes later Paige walked with Henry to his car, ''You can put the bag on the backseat.'' He told her. Paige nodded and did as he said, whilst Henry put Glen and the carrier on the front seat. He stood up again and looked at Paige, ''Well, I'll bring him back by 6:00pm tomorrow okay?'' ''Sure.'' Paige replied, she smiled slightly. Henry placed his hand on her cheek, ''I'm missing you Paige.'' He said, brushing her cheek with his thumb gently. Paige looked into his brown eyes, ''I'm sorry.'' She replied, knowing that she really meant that, because she never meant to hurt him. ''can I just..'' he didn't finish his sentence and kissed Paige softly on her lips. Paige allowed him to do that and closed her eyes, kissing back lightly. Henry pulled back slightly and smiled, ''Thanks.'' He said. Paige didn't exactly know how to reply and just nodded slightly, ''You should go.'' She said, waving at Glen. Henry nodded and opened the door of his car, ''Bye Paige.'' ''Bye.'' She replied. Henry got in, he started the car, waved at Paige and then drove off. Paige let out a small sigh and wrapped her arms around herself, she shivered slightly, knowing that she and Henry had finally put an end to their once so great relationship. She loved Cole now and that felt good, even though the Elders were trying to split them up she knew that she and Cole would make it as a couple.
