Chapter 22 – Beauty and the Beast

'Ring ring ring' Paige's cellphone started ringing loudly on the nightstand. A quiet moan came from underneath the sheets and a porcelain white hand hit the phone, thinking it was the alarmclock. When it didn't stop Paige sat up, pushing the sheets off herself and she grabbed her cellphone. She looked at the display, 'Cole' it flashed. A smile spread over her face and she answered the phone, ''Hey Gorgeous.'' She said. ''Goodmorning my soon-to-be wife.'' Cole's heavy voice replied. Paige smiled. ''Did I wake you up?'' ''Hmm. Yeah you did, but that's okay.'' Paige told him whilst playing with the sheet. ''Ok. Sorry, so did you sleep well?'' Cole asked. Paige nodded even thought Cole wasn't able to see that, ''Yeah. I did actually. Are you excited?'' ''I can't wait.'' Paige let out a laugh, ''Me either, but I'll see you in a few hours Sweetie, I have to get ready.'' ''Fair enough. Love you baby.'' Paige smiled, ''I love you too. Bye.'' She closed the lid of her phone and threw it on the bed smiling happily. She noticed that hundreds of red rose petals where spread over the bed and the floor which made her possibly even feel happier. 'Sweet.' She thought as she got up. She picked up her silky blue dressing gown and put it on. This was going to be a perfect day and not one demon would be able to take this happy feeling away from her. Paige opened her bedroom door and the wonderfull smell of Piper's 'Special occasions breakfast' immediately filled her nosetrills. Piper always made a delicious breakfast when it was someones birthday or, like now, when someone was going to get married. She made her way downstairs and before she could reach the kitchen she was hugged by her middle sister. ''Good Morning my pregnant-almost-married-favourite-youngest sister.'' Phoebe said happily. Paige laughed and hugged back, ''I'm your only pregnant-almost-married-youngest sister.'' She replied. Phoebe smiled and pulled away from the hug, ''I know, but you're still my favourite.'' Paige smiled back and nodded. ''Well hurry with your breakfast so you can take a shower. Then we can get you ready for the big moment.'' Phoebe told her. ''Yes boss. Is Leo at Cole's already?'' ''Yeah and so is Luke, don't worry Sweetie. Everything will be perfect today.'' Phoebe said whilst leading Paige into the kitchen.

''Oh no no no no. Don't do this to me please.'' Paige begged. She was ready to get under the shower, but the problem was, it didn't work. ''Please don't.'' She turned the taps on and off again, but that didn't help either. Paige rolled her eyes and pulled her dressing gown back on. She opened the bathroomdoor, ''Pheebs!'' Phoebe came out of her bedroom with the moisturiser still on her face. She walked towards her younger sister, ''What's wrong honey?'' she asked with a questioning look on her face. ''The shower refuses to work and now I can't wash my hair and it will look horrible at the wedding.'' Paige rambled at top speed. Phoebe let out a small laugh and placed her hand on Paige's arm, ''Calm down Paige, I'm sure we can find a solution for this.'' She told her. Paige sighed slightly, ''But what if we can't?'' she protested. Phoebe shook her head, ''Wait here. I'm going to get this stuff off my face and then I will check downstairs.'' And before Paige was able to protest again Phoebe walked off.

Cole smiled slightly as Leo fastened his tie for him. He couldn't believe this was finally going to happen. He was finally going to marry Paige. Leo gave him a supportive pat on the shoulder, ''There you go.'' He said. Cole smiled a bit nervously, ''Thanks.'' He sorted out the sleeves of his white shirt and looked in the mirror it his reflection. He smiled slightly to himself, the last time he had looked this dressed up was about 3 and a half years ago, when he married Phoebe. This time it would be different, though. He felt different with Paige. She was the only woman who could make his heart beat faster and slower at the same time. Of course Phoebe was his first real love and he would always have a thing for her, deep inside his heart. But he loved Paige more now and if he had to choose between the two sisters, he would definately choose for Paige, simply because he didn't want anyone else but her. He sighed inwardly, he couldn't wait to put the ring on Paige's finger and make her his wife. A swirl of blue lights lit up the hallway for a second and Leo and Cole both looked up. A moment later Phoebe walked into the bedroom. ''Hey guys, we have a little problem, there's not hot running water at the Manor. Can Paige take a shower here?'' she asked, smiling at Cole. Cole looked at Phoebe, ''Umm. Sure it's her house too.'' He said. Phoebe smiled again, ''I'd thank you, but I'll leave that job for Paige tonight.'' ''Pheebs!'' Paige's voice sounded from the halllway, though it sounded like she was laughing. Phoebe laughed, ''Thanks Cole.'' She smiled at Leo and left the room. Leo shook his head and took place on the bed.

Paige stepped out of the shower and grabbed a towel. She wrapped it around her body and moved her hair out of the way. She picked up a brush and started brushing it as she heard a knock on the door. ''Yeah you can come in Pheebs.'' She said whilst continueing to brush her hair. The bathroomdoor opened and in stead of Phoebe, Cole sneaked in. He closed the door behind him quietly. Paige looked up, '"Cole! You're not allowed to see me yet.'' She said. Cole smiled quiltily, ''I'm sorry. I missed you.'' He replied quietly. Paige couldn't help but smile, ''But seeing the bride before the wedding isn't going to bring much luck.'' ''Oh so we break that tradition. We're allowed to get married, luck enough.'' He walked over to her and wrapped his strong arms around her body. Paige looked up at him, ''You just can't keep your hands off me, can you?'' she said, a smile playing on her lips. Cole shook his head and kissed her lips softly, ''Nope. You look gorgeous.'' He told her. Paige let out a laugh, ''Right. You don't have to suck up I'll marry you, don't worry.'' Cole smiled, ''I know. But I'm still allowed to suck up.'' He traced his finger down her back and felt Paige shiver slightly under his touch. Paige placed her hands on his chest, ''I love you.'' She told him. Cole smiled, ''I know. I love you too.'' He lowered his head and pressed his lips on hers gently. Paige felt her heart flutter, like it always did when he kissed her after being away for a while, and returned his kiss. Phoebe knocked on the bathroomdoor, ''Paige, are you ready?'' she asked. Paige pulled back smiling, ''Quick, go.'' She whispered. Cole smiled back and kissed her cheek, ''Love you.'' He whispered back and then shimmered out. ''Yes Pheebs. I'm ready.'' Paige said. Phoebe walked into the bathroom and noticed the soft blush on Paige's cheeks. She smiled slightly to herself, it was obvious that Cole had just payed a visit to the bathroom.

''Shh..she's coming.'' Piper, who quickly walked into the kitchen, said. The talking faded away and everybody turned their heads towards the conservatory. Cole took a deep breath and glanced at Phoebe, who smiled at him and nodded slightly. Cole smiled back weakly and looked up as Paige slowly entered the garden. She looked nervous, but Cole didn't see that. He grinned widely. Her dress was gorgeous. It was strapless and made of some silky white fabric. The dress was perfectly draped around her body. Paige looked simply breathtaking. She flashed Cole a tentative smile as she came closer and handed her flowers to Piper. Cole smiled back slightly and their hands brushed when she finally stood in front of him. All the guests sat back down on their seats. ''Dear beloved, we are gathered here tonight to celebrate the marriage of Paige Matthews and Cole Turner.'' The minister started. Cole looked down at Paige and smiled, she smiled back at him slightly nervous. The moment was finally there, they were getting married. Something they didn't think would be possible. Leo bounced Glen on his knee gently and watched Paige and Cole, both not being able to stop smiling. ''You may now exchange your vows.'' The minister said. ''Cole..'' she looked at him.

''Paige, through all the years I never could've imagine we would end up here together. Now I don't wish to be anywhere else than here with you. You have managed to win the biggest spot in my heart and you will always stay there. I vow to love and cherish you every day for the rest of my whole life. All I am is yours, baby.''

''Paige..'' the minister said, now looking at her. Paige paused for a moment and looked into Cole's eyes. 'Please don't let her have forgotten her vows.' Piper thought as she clapsed her hands in her lap. Paige smiled and took a deep breath.

''Cole, through all the struggles we've been through, I always knew we would make it as a couple. Now we are standing her, in front of all our friends and our family, ready to share our lifes with each other. I vow to stay loyal and to love you every day of our marriage until death takes us part and even after that I will keep loving you. You have my heart, my body and my soul now all that's left is that I want to let you know that I love you more than anything and nobody will ever be able to take that feeling away from me.''

Cole bit his lower lip and sighed inwardly as Paige finished. He felt like the luckiest guy on earth. ''You will now exchange the rings.'' Wyatt raised the small white pillow with the rings and Paige and Cole both took the rings off it. Paige smiled as Cole put the ring on her finger carefully. She took Cole's hand in hers and tried to put the ring on it, but she couldn't and laughed slightly. ''Cole it doesn't fit anymore.'' She said. The guests laughed gently as Cole smiled and helped Paige to put the ring on his finger. ''You may now kiss the bride.'' The minister said. Cole smiled and wrapped his arms around Paige. Paige smiled back and lowered his head, kissing him softly on his dry lips. Cole kissed back and the guests all arose, smiling and clapping. Paige pulled away from the kiss and gave her new husband a hug. Cole let out a laugh and hugged back tightly.

A few hours later the reception was fully going and Cole was looking around the Manor for Paige. He finished his glass of whiskey and put on a table somewhere when he saw Paige talking to Glen. He smiled slightly to himself and walked over to them. Paige looked up when she felt two warm, muscular arms wrap themselves around her waist and smiled, ''Hey you.'' She said. Cole kissed her cheek, ''Hey.'' He looked up at Glen and gave him a smile, ''Hiya.'' Glen nodded towards him, ''I'm going to go now Paige, promised I wouldn't be home late. Congratulations again.'' He said as he kissed her cheek gently. Paige smiled, ''Thanks for coming Sweetie.'' ''Yeah thanks.'' Cole agreed. Glen smiled, ''No problem, we'll talk soon Paige.'' Paige nodded and Glen walked off. Cole let out a small sigh and lowered his head slightly, ''What do you say we get out of here, just you and me.'' He whispered in Paige's ear as he ran his hand across her stomach. ''Umm.. tempting.'' Paige replied, leaning back against his broad chest and closing her eyes. Cole kissed her neck gently, ''I just want to be alone with my gorgeous wife.'' He said. Paige pulled away slightly and turned around so taht she faced him, ''And I want to be alone with my gorgeous husband, but it's out after party, we can't just leave.'' She told him, moving her arms over his shoulders. ''hmm.'' Cole placed his hands on Paige's waist. ''Fine.'' He pouted. Paige let out a laugh, ''Don't pout.'' She placed her finger on his lips. Cole smiled, ''Sorry.'' He leaned in to kiss her but then paused. Paige looked up at him smiling, ''What?'' she pulled him closer by his tie. ''Henry.'' Cole mumbled. Paige let go off Cole's tie and turned around. Henry was standing in the doorway, he smiled weakly at Paige when she turned around. Paige kissed Cole's cheek, ''Be right back sweetie.'' Cole nodded and Paige walked towards Henry. ''Hey.'' She said. ''Hey, erm.. congratulations I guess.'' Henry replied. Paige smiled, ''Thanks, I didn't think you would come.'' Henry shrugged slightly, ''I had to pick Glen up anyways and what has happened between us is the past now isn't it?'' he folded his arms. ''Hmm yeah.'' Paige said, not really knowing how to reply. Henry looked down at her dress, ''You look great in that dress, you know.'' Paige looked up and saw the disappointment in his warm, brown eyes. She bit her lower lip lightly, ''Yeah. Thank you.'' She couldn't help but feeling guilty because of the look on Henry's face. Henry smiled and gave Paige a hug, ''I'm happy for you.'' He said, though deep down, he knew he was jealous of Cole. Paige hugged back slightly, ''I'm sorry if this is hurting you, Henry. I don't mean to hurt you.'' Henry pulled away from the hug and looked at her. ''I know Paige, don't worry.'' He smiled slightly, ''I'm going to go now okay?'' Paige nodded, ''Alright, thanks for coming Sweetie.'' Henry nodded as well and then walked off to collect Glen and his stuff.

Leo orbed into his bedroom. He let out a small sigh and looked up at the ceiling. He had just given up being an Elder after having decided his family was the most important thing to him. Leo took a deep breath and walked towards the door to go downstairs, but the door opened before he could reach it and Paige and Cole walked in in the middle of a passionate kiss. Leo stopped and Cole closed the door behind himself with his foot. Leo smiled and shook his head. He let out a cough and Paige and Cole both looked up. Paige blushed gently, ''Wrong room.'' She said. Cole laughed and let go off Paige, ''Looks like it.'' Leo smiled, ''I don't think Piper would appreciate it if you two continue that here.'' He told them. Cole smiled back, ''Sorry, we weren't really paying attention.'' Leo nodded, ''I noticed and I really don't want to butt in, but isn't this your reception? Aren't you supposed to attend it?'' he said. Cole grinned and looked at Paige. ''What? I said that, but you started seducing me.'' She told him as she took his hand. Cole raised an eyebrow, ''I did not.'' Paige smiled innocently at him and walked out of the bedroom. Cole grinned at Leo and followed Paige. Leo laughed slightly to himself and then followed the newlyweds out of the bedroom.

At 3am Paige and Cole said goodbye to the last guests who were just leaving the house. Cole closed the door and pulled Paige closer to himself, ''I thought they'd never leave.'' He joked. Paige smiled and placed her hands on his broad chest. ''Can we shimmer to out honeymoon place now?'' she asked still smiling. ''As soon as you've given your sisters a big goodbye hug.'' Piper's voice said. Paige looked up and saw her sisters walking into hallway, both carrying a bag from Cole and Paige. Paige smiled and Cole let go off her. She walked over to her siters who put the bags down. ''I would never forget that.'' Paige said as she wrapped Phoebe in a hug. ''I didn't think you would.'' Phoebe hugged back tightly. ''Have fun Sweetie.'' She said. ''Thanks.'' Paige let go off Phoebe and now hugged Piper. Cole watched the three sisters and smiled slightly to himself. He wondered if Phoebe was completely okay with this all now. Somehow he could imagine she still felt angry sometimes. He smiled and hugged back as Phoebe wrapped her arms around him, ''You two Cole, enjoy yourselves.'' She told him as she let go off him again. ''We will, thanks.'' He picked up his bag. Piper handed Paige an envelope, ''Don't look yet, it's for the honeymoon.'' She said. Paige smiled, ''Thanks Hunny, you too Pheebs.'' Pheebs smiled back and nodded to let her know it was okay. Paige picked up her bag and walked over to Cole. ''Well, say both goodbye to your husband.'' She told Piper and Phoebe. Piper smiled, ''Will do.'' She replied as Cole moved his arm around his new wife. Paige looked up at him and smiled, ''Lets go.'' She said. Cole nodded, smiling back and then shimmered out with her to a beautiful exotic place.
