Chapter 2: Birthday Boy
Cole carried a sleeping Paige into their bedroom. He placed on the bed and took off her shoes. He kissed her forehead and shimmered out. He shimmered into the realm of the afterlife.
"Mrs. Halliwell" said Cole.
Penny looked at Cole.
"It's Grams dear" said Penny hugging him. " I guess I know why you're here"
"Where is he?" asked Cole.
Penny stepped aside and a little boy about 5 with black hair and blue eyes ran up.
"Daddy" cried the boy.
"Ben" said Cole hugging him.
"You're a big boy" said Cole with tears in his eyes.
"I was playing with Aunt Prue and Uncle Andy" said Ben.
"Good" said Cole. "Well Ben your 6th birthday is coming up and I want to ask you something"
"Ok" said Ben.
"Do you want to see your mother?" asked Cole.
"She's not my mother" said Ben.
"I think you should meet her" said Cole.
"No" said Ben. "Please don't make me"
"Ok" said Cole. "I'll get you tomorrow night for dinner"
"Grams is throwing a party" said Ben. "Can you come?"
"I wouldn't miss it for the world" said Cole.
"Bye daddy" said Ben.
He ran off. Grams turned to Cole.
"Does he know about Paige?" asked Grams.
"No" said Cole. "They'll meet tomorrow. I'm sure he'll like her"
Next morning
Piper went by Phoebe's door and heard muffled crying. Today wouldn't have been her unborn son's birthday. Piper went downstairs. The manor felt empty without Paige. Of course she was mad at her for sneaking around with Cole and getting pregnant. Phoebe didn't even want to hear Paige's name. Piper knew it was because Phoebe still loved Cole. Piper also knew it was her fault because she should've have taken her big sister role and kept the family together. If Leo turned evil she would move heaven, earth, and hell to get Leo back. Leo of course wasn't home so she went downstairs by herself. Piper picked up the phone and dialed Paige's cell phone number.
"Hell" answered Paige.
"It's Piper"
"Demon?" asked Paige.
"No" said Piper. "I was just wondering if we could spend some time together"
"Could you come over here?" asked Paige. "I'm kind of tired"
"I don't know" said Piper.
"Cole isn't her" said Paige annoyed.
"Alright" said Piper. "I'll be there"
She hung up the phone as Phoebe came down.
"Going out?" asked Phoebe.
"To Paige's" answered Piper.
"And Cole's" said Phoebe. "I can't believe your visiting that girl"
"That girl is our sister" said Piper. "And she's pregnant"
"With demon spawn" said Phoebe grabbing her keys. "I'll be the luckiest girl in the world if I didn't have see those two"
She started to walk away.
"I don't that's true" said Piper. "I think you want Cole back and you're mad because Paige has him"
Piper knew she crossed the line, but she stood her ground.
"You're wrong" said Phoebe. "Go visit Paige I really don't give a damn. Hell, throw them a party. When Paige gets hurt by him she better not come running over here"
With that she slammed the door, as Piper wondered if she saw a somewhat Prue in Phoebe.
Piper knocked nervously on the penthouse door. Paige opened it quickly. Piper hugged her tight. Her red hair reached her upper back and she was glowing. Her belly was getting bigger.
"Paige you look wonderful" said Piper.
"So do you" said Paige. "Come in"
Piper walked in. There were wallpaper books, baby catalogs, and paint samples all spread out on the coffee table.
"Hungry?" asked Paige.
Piper nodded. "Thanks"
"Well I ordered three large pizzas ten minutes ago" said Paige.
"What's all this?" asked Piper.
"For the nursery" answered Paige. "I can't choose between wallpaper or paint"
"Wallpaper" said Piper.
"Really?" asked Paige. "That's what Cole said"
"I want to be part of this experience" said Piper. "I want to be with you through this"
Paige hugged her. "You can"
Piper nodded.
"But you have to learn to trust Cole again" said Paige. "Otherwise it won't work"
Piper took Paige's hand. "If he makes you happy then I will try" said Piper. "But they are no guarantees"
Paige smiled. "Now you can help me pick out the wall paper"
The two sisters talked all day about the nursery. After Piper left Paige got ready for her nephew's arrival.
How will Ben like Paige? Nice of Piper to make up, but the power of three is still not complete. Will it ever be? Please REVIEW! Blessed Be!
