Chapter 20 – The Battle.

Cole wrapped his arm around Paige and kissed her cheek softly, ''I love you.'' He told her. Paige smiled and put her hand on Cole's, ''You were fantastic.'' She replied, still slightly out of breath. Cole let out a small laugh, ''You weren't so bad yourself either.'' He stroked her bare stomach with his thumb. ''Hmm.'' Paige looked out of the window, the full moon stood high in the sky and filled the bedroom with a romantic light. She sighed slightly and closed her eyes. Cole watched her, ''Hunny, you and your sisters have prepared everything that was there to prepare, you can't lose tomorrow.'' He said, sitting up slightly. ''It's not that, It's just..'' Paige opened her eyes again and tilted her head slightly so that she could see Cole. ''Afraid that I won't change back?'' Cole finished the sentence for her. Paige nodded. ''Sweetie don't worry. I'm only going to kill my brother and then I will change back.'' Cole told her, putting his hand on her cheek. Paige bit her lower lip, ''But what if you can't change back? What if you miss being Belthazor too much?'' she asked. Cole shook his hand and kissed her forehead, ''I love being with you too much and I'm not going to leave you.'' Paige smiled slightly, ''Okay, I believe you.'' She put her hand at the back of Cole's neck and lowered his head carefully. Cole flashed her a smile and lowered his lips to hers. Paige kissed back and pulled Cole on top of herself.

The next morning, Piper was pacing through the livingroom. ''Calm down, Sweetie. She'll come it's not even 8.00am yet.'' Phoebe told her, yawning slightly. ''Yeah, but Paige is always late and I'm too nervous to calm down.'' Piper replied. Phoebe rolled her eyes and sat down on the couch, ''Couldn't we have done this later?'' she asked. Piper shook her head and folded her arms at the same moment that Paige and Cole shimmered in. Phoebe looked up and laughed, ''Are you two well prepared then?'' she asked. Paige smiled and let go off Cole. She had a soft blush on her cheeks and Cole had some lipstick on his lips. Piper looked up, ''Oh well this explains why it took so long.'' She said, signaling at Cole that there was something on his lips. Paige smiled as Cole wiped it off. ''Sorry, we're here now, though.'' She helped Phoebe to get up from the couch, ''Tired Pheebs?'' she flashed a smiled at her middle sister. Phoebe nodded, ''Couldn't sleep last night.'' She said. ''Okay people, enough with the chit-chatting, we need to focus now.'' Piper told them, clapping her hands. The tension that was always there before they had to fight a demon immediately filled the livingroom. Piper was right they did have to focus now. Ty wasn't exactly a lower level demon. Paige looked at Cole, ''Are you sure you want to do this Sweetie?'' she asked for the last time. Cole nodded and wrapped his arms around her, ''I'm sure.'' He replied. ''Remember our deal.'' Paige smiled and nodded. ''What deal?'' Phoebe questioned curiously. Paige freed herself from Cole's arms and turned towards her sisters, ''We're going to set a wedding date after we have vanquished Ty.'' She told them. Phoebe smiled, ''Good deal.'' She replied, handing 3 potions to Paige. ''I know, thanks.'' ''Okay, so are we going?'' Cole looked at Piper, who nodded. ''Paige, you are me and Phoebe and Cole shimmer around the corner so Ty won't see you yet.'' She told him. Cole nodded, ''Got it.'' He looked at Paige who took her sister's hands. ''There we go.'' She said and she orbed out with them. Cole watched them orb, took a deep breath and shimmered out.

The three sisters orbed into the Underworld and let go off each other's hands. ''We know you're here Ty, you evil bastard.'' Piper said loudly. ''Show yourself.'' Paige held her potion tighter and looked around the cave, it was way too quiet. A sudden blast of power threw the three sisters into a wall and Cole's brother appeared in the middle of the cave, ''No need to be so impolite, ladies.'' He said. Piper got up and threw her potion at him, but he blew it up in mid-air, ''Nice try.'' He told her. Paige helped Phoebe to get up. Ty waved his hand and made Paige's and Phoebe's potions disappear, ''Witches, they're too easy to kill.'' He told them. ''Yeah, what do you think about brothers then?'' Cole's voice said behind him. Ty turned around and faced his older brother, ''You.'' He said threatingly. Cole looked at him, ''We meet again then.'' Ty focused for a moment and turned into a big, belthazor looking demon. Cole shook his head, ''So stubborn. See you in a few minutes sweety.'' He told Paige, and the focused as well. A few seconds later, Cole was replaced by the notorious Belthzazor. Paige held her breath as she watched and felt Piper take her hand, squeezing it lightly. A ball of energy formed in Belthazor's hand and he hurled it at Ty, making Ty stumble backwards slightly, but he managed to keep standing and he conjured an athame. The three sisters watched as Cole and his brother disappeared around the corner, still fighting. Paige wanted to go after them, but Phoebe put a hand on her arm, ''Wait, it's too dangerous.'' She told her youngest sister. Paige bit her lower lip, but did as she was told, though she would never forgive herself if something happened to Cole. She wasn't going to lose her boyfriend again, like with Kyle. A few seconds later a loud scream of agony was heard and then a muffled explosion.

Paige gasped slightly and waited for someone to come around the corner, but no one came. She pulled her arm free from Piper and ran towards – who she hoped to be- Cole. ''Paige wait!'' Piper called after her. Paige ran around the corner and stopped as she saw Belthazor, his back turned towards her. ''Cole?'' she said. Belthazor turned around, his chest still heaving. ''Sweetie.'' Paige walked towards him carefully, ''It's me, Paige.'' She said, keeping eye-contact with him. Phoebe and Piper appeared behind her, ''Paige.'' Piper went to stop her, but Phoebe put her hand on Piper's arm, ''Wait.'' She told her oldest sister. They watched Paige getting closer to Belthazor. ''Cole you can do this, we're going to set a wedding-date remember?'' Paige said quietly. Belthzor kept looking at Paige and watched her stepping closer. ''You can't fight this.'' She whispered as she stopped in front of him. Belthazor placed his hand on Paige's waist and Paige flinched slightly, but stayed on her place. She carefully lifted her hand and put it at the back of his neck. Piper and Phoebe watched in horror, both barely daring to look. Paige hesitated for a moment, looking into Belthazor's eyes full of evil, but then lowered his head and kissed hmim lightly on his dark red lips. Piper gasped, ''Paige.'' She closed her eyes. ''Oh my God.'' Phoebe said, looking away. Paige felt her heart starting to beat faster as Belthazor paused, but almost let out a sigh of relief when he changed his mind and kissed her back. A few moments later he turned back into Cole and wrapped his arms around Paige. Phoebe looked and then gently poked her older sister, ''It's okay you can look, Paige is fine and Cole's back.'' She whispered. Piper opened her eyes again and looked at Paige and Cole, she let out a small sigh of relief. Cole pulled away from the kiss slightly and put his hand on Paige's cheek, ''Thank you.'' He whispered. Paige smiled slightly and gave Cole a hug. Cole hugged back as Piper and Phoebe walked towards them. ''Are you okay Cole?'' Phoebe asked. Cole pulled away from the hug, ''Yeah I am know. I'm glad you didn't stop Paige.'' He replied. ''She wouldn't have let us stop her anyways.'' Piper said, flashing a smile at her youngest sister. Paige smiled and took Cole's hand in hers. ''I think we should go home.'' She said. Cole nodded and squeezed her hand lightly. Paige held out her hand towards Piper, who took it. She then looked at Cole, ''Want a lift or are you going to shimmer?'' Cole smiled and let go off her hand, ''No offence, but I prefer shimmering.'' He told her. ''None taken.'' Paige said, ''See you in a minute then.'' And she orbed out with both her sisters. Cole smiled slightly, straightened his clothes and the disappeared as well on his own magical way of transporting.

That evening the whole family was sitting around the table in the VIP room of P3. Luke placed his hand on Phoebe's stomach, ''Can't wait you know. I hope it's going to be a boy.'' He told Phoebe. Phoebe looked at him and smiled, of course she knew it was probably going to be a girl, after all that was what she had seen in her premonition, but you'll never know. Future can always change. She kissed her husband's cheek lightly, ''I know Sweetie, You have already told me that about a hundred times.'' She replied. Luke just smiled and wrapped his arms around her, ''Sorry.'' Paige nodded at Cole who had been telling Paige something and they both stood up. '"We're off guys, Cole apparently really wants to show me something.'' Paige announced to the others. Cole let out a small laugh and Piper looked up, ''Oh, laright Sweetie.'' She smiled. Paige smiled and took Cole's hand, ''Bye all.'' ''Bye, have fun.'' Everyone issued them a goodbye and Paige and Cole walked off. When they walked out of the door Paige looked at Cole, ''What do you want to show me then?'' she asked curiously. Cole smiled mysteriously, ''You'll see.'' He said, turning into an alley. ''Oh nive, very romantic hun.'' Paige told him sarcastically. Cole laughed and wrapped his arms around her, ''Very funny, but this is not what I wanted to show you.'' ''It isn't?'' Paige looked up at him smiling. Cole shook his head and looked back at her, ''Ready?'' he asked. Paige placed her hands on his upper-arms, ''Ready.'' She told him. Cole smiled and shimmered out with her.

A moment later Cole shimmered onto a beautiful sunset beach somewhere in Australia and he let go off Paige. Paige looked around, quite speechless. Cole watched her and a smile played on his lips when he saw her eyes twinkling, ''Like?'' Paige looked up at him, ''Cole..I..It's gorgeous.'' She said, placing her hands on his chest. Cole moved a strand of hair out of Paige's face, ''I love you.'' He whispred, lowering his head slightly. Paige smiled and brushed her index-finger over his lower lip, ''I love you too. You have no idea how much.'' She replied, looking into his eyes. Cole moved his hands to her waist and gently pulled her closer to himself. He watched as Paige carefully unbuttoned his shirt, beginning at the top. He sighed inwardly, he would've never thought that her touch could make him feel so weak inside. Let alone that she would ever touch him like that, so careful and gentle. Paige gently slit the shirt off his shoulders and let it drop to the sand. ''It will get dirty like that.'' He said smiling, only saying this to tease her. ''Does it really matter?'' Paige looked up at him. Cole let out a small laugh, ''No.'' He leaned in to kiss her, but stopped when Paige put a finger on his lips. He looked at her slightly confused and watched her sit down in the sand, giving him a sexy smile. Cole smiled back and took place next to her. Paige pulled him closer and kissed his lips softly. Cole returned the kiss, pushing her back in the sand. Paige smiled slightly and deepened the kiss as Cole moved on top of her carefully, so that he wouldn't hurt her. The weather was just perfect and they could hear the seagulls crying as the flew over the beach. Cole gently took Paige's top off and felt her grinding against him, leaving him to want her even more and making him kiss harder.

Later that evening, when the red sun had already appeared into the sea, Paige and Cole were still on the beach, laid in each others arms. Cole brushed the warm sand of Paige's arm and kissed her cheek softly, ''I would like to get my shirt back when we're going home.'' He said teasingly. ''Hmm.'' Paige sighed deeply and shifted onto her side so that she faced Cole. ''I don't want to go home yet.'' She told him. Cole smiled, ''Neither do I, but we'll have to at some point.'' He played with his shirt, which she had pulled on. Paige moved slightly and kissed his chest softly. A smile spread over Cole's face and he closed his eyes, as she had found his weak spot, ''Paige..'' Paige moved her hand to his waist and continued the trail of small butterfly kisses, but then pulled back coughing slightly. Cole looked at her, raising an eyebrow, ''Are you okay?'' he asked. Paige nodded, laughing gently, ''Sand.'' She replied and watched Cole's face crack into a laugh. She smiled, ''You're mean.'' She told him. Cole pulled her closer into his embrace, ''Not my fault you're funny.'' He said, moving his face closer to hers. Paige pulled a face and pushed Cole away gently when she heard a jingle. ''What's wrong?'' Cole looked at her. ''My charge needs me, sorry Sweetie.'' Paige kissed his lips softly and got up. She gathered her clothes. Cole watched her getting dressed and smiled slightly. ''Perve.'' Paige said, dropping his shirt on his head. Cole let out a laugh and removed the shirt whilst sitting up. ''Bye Cole.'' Paige said. ''Bye baby.'' He replied and Paige disappeared in a swirl of blue lights. ''Love you.'' Cole added, but he was too late and let out a small sigh. He got up and slowly got dressed, feeling slightly lonely now Paige had left. His eye caught the heart that Paige had drawn in the sand earlier. It said, I love you. A small smile played on his lips as he picked up a small branch. He walked towards the heart and wrote, I love you too beneath it. Cole looked at it and felt himself going warm inside again, he threw the branch into the waved and jumped back as they reached his feet, sweeping away the drawing in the sand. He looked at what was left of the heart and smiled as he could still clearly read the text. He contently straightened his shirt and looked around. No one was there and he shimmered out.

That night, after midnight, Paige woke up with a lot of pain in her stomach. She moved slightly and sat up, pulling a face. What could possibly cause this pain? She placed her hand on her stomach and looked over at Cole. He was asleep, which made Paige smile slightly. He looked almost like a baby asleep. One of his arms disappeared under his pilow and he just went to put his other arm over Paige, which obviously didn't work. Paige smiled slightly, but pulled a face when another jolt of pain shot through her stomach. Cole mumbled something quietly before he woke up. He opened his eyes slightly and noticed a small shape sitting on the bed, clutching her stomach. ''Paige?'' he grumbled with a slightly hoarse voice. Paige looked over her shoulder and smiled weakly, ''Hey.'' She whispered. Cole turned over and sat up, ''Are you okay?'' he asked a bit worried. Paige nodded, but then changed her mind and shook her head. Cole placed a hand on her shoulder, ''What's wrong?'' he looked at her, his eyes being to small shiny spots in the dark. ''Stomach pains, really bad.'' Paige replied, closing her eyes. ''Hun, how come? Is it your period or something?'' But Paige shook her head, ''I don't know, I'm late. Could be.'' She said as she got up. ''Where are you going?'' ''Bathroom.'' Paige quickly walked out of the bedroom, leaving a slightly confused Cole behind. He pushed the covers off himself and stood up. He walked towards the bathroom door, ''Sweetie?'' he knocked gently on the door, but didn't get any reply. Cole opened the door slightly and popped his head around it, finding Paige sitting on the floor, her back against the wall. Still holding her stomach. ''Hun.'' He walked in and knelt next to her, ''Have you taken a painkiller?'' Paige shook her head and bit her lower lip.

Cole kissed the top of her head and stood up. He opened a cupboard and took out the aspirin. Then he filled a flass with water and handed both things to Paige. ''Swallow that with that water.'' He told her. Paige sighed slightly and took the aspirin and the water. She did as was told and Cole gently took the glass off her, he put it away. ''It will pass hunny.'' He said. Paige moaned slightly in reply and looked up at him. Cole shook his head and lifted her up carefully. ''Lets get you back to bed.'' He said and he carried her out of the bathroom, back to their bedroom. Paige smiled slightly and rested her head against her fianceé's shoulder. ''I love you so much Cole.'' She said quietly. Cole smiled slightly and lowered her to the bed, ''I love you too.'' He replied, pulling the sheets over her gently. Paige shifted onto her side and pulled her knees up slightly. Cole walked around the bed and laid back down next to her, on top of the sheets. He moved his arm over paige, who cuddled into him the instant he did that. A smile smile played on Cole's lips and he kissed her forehead lightly, ''Try to get some sleep Sweetie.'' He said. Paige let out a small sigh and closed her eyes, she felt better now she was close to Cole like this, it was comforting, he didn't need words to tell her it was going to be okay. She could feel it only by the way he had put his arm around her and kissed her forehead lightly. At the moment, she couldn't be happier, even though she had these worse stomach pain, Cole was there and he was taking care of her.
