A/N well finally there it is! Chapter 19, I'm sorry it took so long, but I was very busy with homework and I just didn't have time to write chapter 19. I will finish school on june the 17th so then I will have much more time to complete my story.
Disclaimer: I do not own any of the Charmed characters.
Chapter 19 – Meant to be.
Leo looked at the woman, ''I don't understand, why are you here?'' he asked. The woman took a step towards Leo, ''Destinies have been mixed up.'' She told him, with the softest voice. ''What do you mean?'' Phoebe looked from Leo to 'The Angel'. ''Cole and Glen weren't supposed to die yet, I''m here to restore what has gone wrong.'' She replied. ''But how?'' Leo asked, ''No offence, but I mean, they're dead.'' ''By reversing and changing time. If we don't then Paige will grieve for months and she will neglect her powers. That will lead to the death of the Charmed-Ones.'' She explained. ''How do you know?'' Phoebe asked, stepping closer. ''We Angels of Destiny have the power to foresee the future as well.'' She said. Leo bit his lower lip, ''And you need our help?'' ''Yes, I do, but only yours Leo.'' She replied. Leo raised an eyebrow, ''But the sister's power is much greater than mine.'' He said, nodding towards Phoebe. ''Only with the Power of Three, Paige will refuse to use her power so there won't be a Power of Three.'' ''I don't understand.'' Leo looked at her. ''You will in time, but right now you have to trust me and the other Angels of Destiny, it's very important.'' She placed her hand on Leo's shoulder. Leo looked at her hand and then at Phoebe, who nodded supportively. Leo looked back at the Angel, ''Okay, I trust you.'' He said. The Angel flashed Leo a small smile and disappeared with him in another mass of bright white light. Phoebe let out a small sigh, ''I hope this works out.'' She walked to the kitchen.
Paige turned over again before she woke up. When she looked out of the window she remembered that Cole and Glen were dead and she wondered how she could've fallen asleep last night. Paige felt the cold sheets against her chest, but didn't notice that she wasn't dressed. She bit her lower lip and started to cry again, without wanting it, but it just hurt too much. ''Paige?'' a scratchy, male voice said, she felt a warm hand on her shoulder. Paige felt her heart miss a beat, she knew that voice. Paige sat up slightly and looked beside her, ''Cole.'' She whispered. Cole flashed her a smile and he sat up, ''Why are you crying?'' he asked as he wiped the tears off her cheek with his thumb. ''What..Cole..How?'' she stuttered. ''Sweety, what's wrong? Is it last night? Because personally I think that was amazing, we should wait 6 months more often.'' He said, trying to light her mood. Paige shook her head and hugged Cole tightly. Cole let out a small laugh, ''Had a bed dream hun?'' he asked. ''Yes, no, I think so, Where's Glen?'' she replied, pulling away from him. ''In the nursery as per usual.'' He told her. ''Do you have powers?'' ''Umm.. of course I do Paige, what did you dream?'' ''Nothing.'' Paige got up and picked up her dressing gown, she put it on and then walked out of the bedroom. Cole pushed the covers off himself, ''Paige, hun.'' He got up and grabbed his trousers from the chair. Cole put them on, ''Sweety?'' he walked out of the bedroom and went into the nursery where he found Paige hugging Leo gently. ''Sweetie, what's going on? You're scaring me.'' He placed his hand on her waist. ''You and Glen were killed and I..It was so real I didn't know what to do.'' She whispered. Cole kissed her cheek softly, ''Hunny, I'm not dead and neither is Glen and besides, you know I would never leave you alone behind like that, right?'' he said. Paige shrugged slightly, ''The Elders found out about your vanquish and they didn't allow us to be together any longer. Then you gave up your powers and you got ill and..'' Cole put his finger on her lips gently, ''Paige, you're rambling and they won't find out about that vanquish, it's our dirty little secret.'' He told her. Paige looked up at him, ''How do you know?'' she asked. ''I just do and to seal that secret, wait here.'' He kissed her forehead and walked out of the nursery. Paige raised her eyebrow and placed Glen back in his cot carefully. She made her way to the hall, ''Baby?'' she said. Cole walked back to her, hiding something behind his back. ''What are you doing?'' Paige looked up at him.
''You'll see.''' He replied mysteriously. Paige pulled a confused face which made Cole laugh, ''That's one of the reasons I decided this Paige. You make me laugh a lot and we used to hate each other, but that's the past. Right now I love you more than anything and I really want to share my life with you. I've spend over a month to find the perfect ring and I've found it so Paige, hunny..'' Cole carefully got down on one knee, ''Would you do me the honour of becoming my wife?'' he showed her a beautiful silver ring with a small blue stone in the middle and looked up at her. Paige looked back at him, ''Cole..I, Yes of course.'' She smiled. Cole smiled back and took her hand, he gently put the ring on her finger. Paige let out a small sound which held betweem a laugh and a sob and she hugged Cole tightly when he stood up. Cole hugged back, ''I love you.'' He told her. Paige smiled, ''My boyfriend proposing to me topless and telling me he loves me, what more could I wish for?'' she replied. Cole laughed and kissed the top of her head.
Piper looked at Leo, ''What are you saying, that you're an Elder again?'' Leo bit his lower lip and nodded slightly. ''I'm sorry Piper, but let me explain, please.'' He pleaded with her. Piper shook her head firmly, ''What's there to explain?'' she folded her arms. ''I told you, Cole and Paige weren't allowed to be together any longer and Cole gave up his powers for her. He and Glen got killed by Cole's half brother. I need to stop it from happening all over again.'' He replied. Piper let out a sigh, ''How? We vanquished Cole's brother.'' She said. ''He came back, just like Cole did, you three have to figure out a way to trap him for good.'' Leo explained. Piper shook her head, ''It's not that I don't believe you it's just..I don't want to lose our family again.'' She told her husband whilst looking into his blue eyes. Leo put his hands on Piper's arms and looked back at her, ''I won't be away as much, I will still come home everyday.'' He kissed her forehead lightly. Piper moved her arms and walked away from Leo, ''You say that now, but you don't know when and how long the Elders need you.'' Leo watched her walk towards the window, ''Piper, you trust me right?'' he asked, though not needing to ask that question. Piper stopped and turned towards him, ''Of course I do Leo, I always did and I always will.'' She replied. ''Then trust me when I say you won't lose your family and that I will still come home everyday.'' He walked towards her. Piper placed her hands on his chest, ''Okay.'' She gave in, what was the use of argueing she knew she wouldn't get it her way this time. Leo gave her a weak smile and lowered his head, ''I love you.'' He whispered. Piper smiled back and moved her hand to the back of his neck, ''I love you too.'' She lowered his head and kissed him softly on his lips.
''I don't understand.'' Paige said. ''How do you mean my destiny was mixed up? Why did you bring Cole and Glen back?'' she stared at the woman in the white robe with a bit of a confused look on her face. ''Paige, you have to understand that you were not supposed to remember this all. Since you do I think it is for the best if I tell you why Glen and Cole are back.'' She replied. Paige nodded in agreement and took place on the arm of the couch. ''If we would bring Cole back, then we would bring Glen back as well, because he was killed after Cole.'' Paige swallowed hard, she didn't like to hear this 'Angel' remind her of what had happened. ''The reason why we brought Cole back is because you and Cole will soon conceive the most special baby that this world has ever known.'' Paige raised an eyebrow, ''Like Wyatt?'' she asked. The Angel shook her head, ''Your baby will not be as powerful as Wyatt, but he will be smart and he will be the first part demon and part whitelighter, not to forget part witch and mortal. He will be able to shimmer ánd orb and that will hep him to bring more harmony into the world between Good and Evil. More demons will decide to fight at the side of Good and due to that, Good will be more powerful as it has ever been. We finally will have a good oppertunity to take out Evil for good.'' Paige looked at the black woman and let out a small laugh, she could barely believe what she had just told her, ''I'm just a witch.'' She said. ''No you're not Paige, you're a charmed-one one of the most powerful witches since a long, very long time. A child from a charmed-one and one of the most powerful demons since centuries, raised by Good, will be very important for the future.'' Paige looked at the Angel, not sure if she wanted to believe her. She couldn't imagine that she, Paige, would give birth to a child that great. ''Right, why aint I allowed to tell this to anyone else? I mean isn't Cole allowed to know?'' The Angel shook her head, ''This child may not be treated differently, it has to be raised like any other, normal child.'' She replied. Paige stood up, ''But why? Shouldn't he be prepared for that big task?'' ''The Power might get to his head and if that happens everything will look very bad for Good. He needs to keep control over it all.'' Paige nodded to show that she understood what the Angel of Destiny had told her. ''It's time for me to go now, remember what I said. Good luck, Paige.'' She said and before Paige could reply, the gorgeous black woman disappeared in the same mass of bright white light as she had appeared in.
Paige closed her eyes, ''Can't they do that less bright?'' she said to herself. ''Less bright what?'' Cole's voice said behind her. Paige turned around, ''Oh. Cole hey.'' She said, flushing red slightly. ''Hey, were you talking to yourself?'' Paige nodded in reply, ''Yeah, actually I was.'' She flashed him a small smile when he came closer. Cole smiled back and wrapped his strong arms around Paige, ''So how does it feel to be engaged?'' he asked. Paige moved her arms over his shoulders and looked into his lively blue eyes, ''It feels..very good.'' She told him, after pausing to consider if she should tease him, she decided she wouldn't. Cole looked back into her hazel coloured eyes and smiles, ''It does, doesn't it? I mean this is my second time, but it actually feels better than the first time. Without all the guilt feelings you know.'' He replied. Paige placed her hand on his cheek, ''Yeah and you don't need to have any guilt feelings about our past, because that's all behind us.'' She gently stroked his cheek with her thumb. Cole closed his eyes, ''Hmm and since we're not in the past now, but here.. I've got something for you.'' He opened his eyes again and gently took her hand in his. ''Again? You've already given me a ring.'' Paige teased. Cole just smiled, ''Close your eyes.'' He told her. ''Can I trust you?'' Paige flashed him an impish smile back. Cole nodded and Paige closed her eyes. Cole let her to the kitchen, carefully so that she wouldn't fall over something. ''Where are we going?'' Paige asked. ''You'll see.'' Cole stopped in the doorway and turned off the light in the kitchen. The warm glow of the candles, which were stood on the dinnertable, immediately filled the cool kitchen. Cole waved his hand towards the CD-player and a soft tone from Jazz-music started to play. Paige smiled, ''Can I open them yet?'' she asked as she heard Cole's favourite music. Cole nodded, but remembered that she couldn't see that, ''Yeah, you can.'' He said. Paige opened her eyes and let out a small sigh when she saw the beautifully decorated kitchen, ''Cole it looks gorgeous.'' She told him quietly. Cole smiled, ''I know a romantic dinner is supposed to come befóre the proposal, but we'll have it the other way.'' He led her to a chair and pulled it out for her. Paige smiled and took place, ''Thank you.'' Cole kissed her cheek and walked over to the counter, he picked up two plates and put them down on the dinnertable, one for Paige and one for himself.
Paige watched Cole and smiled, she couldn't have imagined Cole being this sweet a few years ago. But he definately was, now everything seemed perfect at him, from the way he moved until the way he looked and cared about her. Cole was definately the One. She watched him take place opposite her, ''I've poured you some red grapejuice, I know you don't drink so I took something what most looked like wine.'' He told her. Paige laughed slightly, ''You're the best and from what I see on my plate I can tell you're a great cook as well.'' ''Not as good as Piper, but it's eatable.'' He replied modestly. ''Well you're a better cook than I am, the best thing I can make without messing up are Brownies.'' She told him smiling, not caring that cooking wasn't exactly her thing. Cole smiled and placed his hand on hers, ''Brownies are my favourite you should make some for me soon.'' He looked at her and realised he had made the right choice. Paige meant everything to him and he did want to share the rest of his life with her, although he didn't know exactly how long that would be. Paige nodded in agreement, ''Okay, but first I want something from you.'' Cole cocked an eyebrow, ''And what would that be?'' he asked. Paige smiled and leaned closer, ''A kiss.'' She whispered. Cole smiled back and leaned in, kissins her softly on her lips. Paige closed her eyes and kissed back after which she got lost in their romantic moment and she didn't care about anything anymore. She was here with Cole and that was all that mattered.
''Piper!'' Phoebe yelled through the Manor as she ran down the stairs. ''Piper Look!'' she jumped off the last three steps in front of her sister who had just ran in from the kitchen, ''What a demon?'' she asked. Phoebe shook her head and showed her a pregnancy test, ''Look.'' She commanded. Piper took Phoebe's wrist to keep her hand still so she could read what the pregnancy test, ''Oh my God, Phoebe you're..'' she looked at her younger sister who was grinning. ''I'm pregant.'' She told Piper, which was unnecessay as seen as Piper had seen the blue line on the test. ''Wow Phoebe, that's..how?'' she asked confused. ''I don't care I'm pregnant and I'm so happy.'' She hugged Piper tightly. Piper smiled and hugged back, ''I'm happy too sweety, but didn't the doctor say that you were infertile?'' she asked. Phoebe pulled away from Piper, ''He did, that's why I'm going to see him, I think he has made a mistake.'' Piper gave her younger sister a look, ''Phoebe, the test can be wrong, please don't get your hopes up too much okay? I don't want you to get hurt.'' She said worriedly. ''Okay, I know. I have to go Sweetie. I love you.'' Phoebe gave her sister another quick hug and gave the test to Piper, ''Put that away for me will you.'' And with those words she walked out of the Manor, grabbing her carkeys quickly before closing the door. Piper smiled slightly and looked at the test, ''Right.'' She went to go upstairs as Cole and Paige shimmered into the hallway, holding hands close. ''Hey every..body.'' Paige's voice trailed off as she only saw Piper. Piper turned around and Paige spotted the pregnancy test in Piper's hand. ''Oh my God, Piper are you pregnant?'' she asked, letting go off Cole's hand. Piper looked at her, ''What?'' she looked at the test, ''Oh this? No it's Phoebe's.'' She told her baby sister. Paige's eyes practically bulged out by hearing this news, ''Phoebe's? But I thought she was..'' ''Infertile, yeah, but she thinks the doctor has made a mistake and she just left to go and see him.'' Piper finished the senctence for her. Paige narrowed her eyes slightly at Piper, ''Don't finish my sentences and I'm happy for Pheebs, I just hope the test's right and not the doctor.'' She felt Cole move behind her and remembered why they were here. ''Cole and I have some other news.'' She said to Piper. Piper put the test in her pocket and looked at them, ''Okay, something about a demon?'' she asked. ''Oh no something much happier than a demon.'' Paige smiled and glanced at Cole, ''We're engaged.'' Piper stood still for a moment to realise the news and then smiled, ''You are? Sweety that's great, congratulations!'' she walked towards Paige and gave her a sisterly hug. Paige hugged back, ''I know, thanks.'' She replied. Cole watched them, smiling slightly, he was glad Piper didn't protest or argue about this decision and he hugged back gently when Piper turned to him. Piper pulled away from Cole, ''You're going to let me do the food on your wedding, right?'' she asked. Paige laughed, ''Of course Sweety, but don't you think it's a little early to discuss that?'' Piper flashed her a grin, ''Right, sorry.'' Leo orbed into the hallway with a serious look on his face and everyone turned towards him. Leo looked at paige, ''It's time, Cole your brother has just returned and we need to start working on a plan to get rid off him forever.'' He said.
