Moved on and loving it

A/N: I can't tell you how many times how sorry I am that this fic hasn't been updated. It's been months.whew! Trust me this story is not abandoned and it's all written down in my notebook but funny how I don't feel like typing out of a book. Well hope this chapter will make up for it and it will be worth the wait.

Paige got up from the bed and glanced at Derek's sleeping form. She stood up walked out of the room and downstairs to the kitchen where Giselle was making a potion. It was 2:45am.

"Sorry" said Paige embarrased.

"Wait" said Giselle. "Stay"

Paige sat on the stool.

"Why are you making a potion this late?" asked Paige.

"Couldn't sleep" said Giselle tossing some spice in. Paige took in the cinnamon aroma. "So I'm making a calming potion for Cole and the others"

"We are trying to pay him back" said Paige looking at her hands. "We're trying to redeem ourselves"

"Dear the damage is done" said Giselle turning towards Paige. "But yes you can help him heal"

"I'm trying" said Paige.

"Judgement and self-righteousness will be your downfall" said Giselle. "For the three of you. Not all demons are evil and not all witches or whitelighters are good. That is the stereotype that kills both sides. Just as it is possible that a once good person can turn good it's possible for a once evil being to be good also. You yourself has made that transition"

"How did you know?" asked Paige.

Giselle pointed to her head. "When you were younger Paige you were going through a difficult time and in the end you wanted people desperately to erase your past and look at you differently. Cole is the same"

Paige nodded.

"You are a special one Paige full of uniqueness" said Giselle. "I sense you to be wiser than your older sisters despite birth order, but you must learn from the inside out and then will you truly get stronger. You will never beat Elizabeth with you three not putting full trust into eachother. Including Cole, Liz, Melanie, Leo, and Darryl. You must all gain back the love and trust"

Paige took in every word and headed back to bed.

***Next morning***

Phoebe stared at Cole while he slept her favorite bed activity. Okay her second favorite. He kept fidgeting all night. Phoebe touched his face and smelled the saltwater that was coming from outside. Her kind of place it was so beautiful here. Cole started to stir and Phoebe got up quickly. She glanced at him once more before leaving the room.

***Piper and Nicholas' room***

Piper and Nicholas were kissing heatedly wrapped in towels. Piper pulled away and smiled.

"I'm going to miss you" she said.

"I am too" said Nicholas touching her face.

They started to get dress.

"Hopefully I'll be back" said Piper.

"Don't say that" said Nicholas. He looked at Piper. "In fact I want to give you something to come back to"

He went into his jacket pocket as Piper put her hair in a ponytail. Nicholas walked up to her. Piper stared at him curiously as he grinned at her.

"What?" she asked.

Nicholas got down on one knee.

"Nick get up" said Piper.

"Piper Halliwell will you marry me?" asked Nicholas. He opened the ring case to reveal a ring with a pink diamond on it.

"It's beautiful" said Piper.

"Is that a yes?" asked Nicholas.

Piper kissed him passionately. She loved him she really did.

"Yes I will marry you" said Piper.

Nicholas got up and spun her around as Piper squealed happily. He put her down and was prepared to slip it on her finger.

"No" said Piper. "Not now. Do it when I come back"

"When?" asked Nicholas smiling.

"When" said Piper sternly. "I will win this, I will live, I will come back to you and I will marry you"

***Downstairs***

Piper and Nicholas took their seats beside Paige and Derek. Prue and Liz were placing the boys in their highchair.

"Where's Cole?" asked Giselle while placing a bib on the kids.'

"Still asleep I guess" said Melanie popping a grape in Leo's mouth.

"He had trouble sleeping last night" said Phoebe.

Everyone looked at her questioningly but Liz was burning a hole in Phoebe.

"I heard him last night" said Phoebe. "I checked on him he was having a nightmare"

"His nightmares came back" said Veronica. "Poor baby"

"I don't know why he moved back to San Francisco" said Talyn. "Bad Karma that place"

"Let him sleep" said Veronica. "He'll need it"

Phoebe could hardly eat. She felt happy from last night. How could she have let him go? After she ate she decided to go see him. They were leaving soon. Phoebe bumped into Cole at the stairs. She blushed.

"We have to stop meeting like this" said Phoebe laughing.

"I can't believe I slept that late" said Cole.

"I think I rubbed off on you" said Phoebe.

Cole smiled and they both went to the living room where Prue was playing blocks with Chris and John.

John levitated two blocks toward Prue who happily grabbed them.

"Thank you" said Prue tickling John.

He giggled.

"Ru" cried John cheerfully.

Cole bent down towards the boys as Phoebe stood aside.

"Hey my little ones" said Cole ruffling Chris' hair.

Chris and John looked at Cole with their bright blue eyes. Much to Phoebe's surprise Prue grabbed Cole's hand and looked at him sympathetically as tears came to his eyes.

Cole took a breath.

"Dah?" said Chris wiping his daddy's tears.

"Daddy's going away for awhile" said Cole. "I might not come back but I'll try I really will"

"No" said Prue. "You will come back"

Cole nodded. "I love the three of you"

Prue, Chris, John, and Cole engaged in a group hug Phoebe held her emotions at bay.

"I trust you to watch over my boys" said Cole.

"Aye Aye captain" joked Prue.

"Oh and please stop teaching them so many spells" said Cole groaning.

"That's Giselle" said Prue innocently.

Cole raised his eyebrows.

He turned to his boys and pointed his fingers.

"Don't terrorize your Grams with your powers" said Cole sternly. "I know you three are trouble"

"Chris, John, and I have our own power of three" said Prue.

Cole shook his head and kissed the top of Prue's head.

"Stay safe" said Cole.

He got up and they went out onto the front hallway.

"You guys come back safe" said Talyn. He glanced at Phoebe hard making eye contact before smiling and hugging Cole.

"Alright people lock hands" said Veronica.

Once the group was gone. Giselle turned to Derek and Nicholas.

"I have a secret that one of you will be very affected by" said Giselle. "Let's go to the library"

Derek and Nicholas looked at eachother nervously before following Giselle.

***SF Manor***

Everyone felt gloomy as soon as they arrived at the manor. The warm, fuzzy feeling was gone. No smell of the ocean or brightness of the sun.

"Alright we can try to summon her again" said Piper. "And this time really vanquish her"

"Yeah because we faked it the last time" said Cole annoyed.

Piper sighed.

"I'm sorry" said Cole putting his head on his hands and walking to the couch.

"It's alright" said Piper. "We're a bit edgy"

"It's just I destroyed most of the beast she could've easily escaped" said Cole.

"It's not your fault" said Paige. "We made a judgement call we should've helped you out"

"Yeah you should've" said Darryl.

Liz elbowed Darryl.

"I think Darryl got the moodiness part of my pregnancy" said Liz.

"I'm taking Giselle advice to say what I feel" said Darryl.

Paige whistled a sigh.

"We're not here to discuss the past" said Leo putting a hand on Cole's shoulder. "We want to vanquish her and get on with our lives"

"That we will do" said Phoebe. "Let's summon her"

"Maybe I could do it by telepathy" said Cole.

"No" said Liz and Leo.

"Cole you can't open that link" said Leo sternly. "No way"

"Leo I have to there's really no other way" said Cole. "She won't come unless I call"

"Cole we're going to have to agree with Leo" said Piper. "We're not going to leave you open to her again"

Cole sighed. "I guess I'm outvoted, but I'm doing it anyway"

"You sure?" asked Liz.

"It will be for a minute" said Cole.

The others reluctantly nodded and Cole closed his eyes and concentrated. Leo stayed closed to his brother ready to protect and he pulled Melanie close also. Cole opened his eyes suddenly.

"She's near" said Cole.

Everyone got into their fighting stance. Suddenly Melanie screamed and they saw Elizabeth shimmering her away.

"Melanie" cried Leo getting ready to orb out but Cole intercepted his orb and sat him down on the couch.

"I'll get her" said Cole.

"She's my fiancee" said Leo.

"And you're my brother" said Cole. "I'll get her back for you"

Leo nodded and Cole shimmered away.

***Underworld***

Elizabeth was sucking Melanie's energy when Cole hit her with an energy ball and Melanie scrambled away.

"About time" said Melanie.

Cole glared at her then shimmered her away.

***Manor***

Leo kissed Melanie and hugged her tight.

"Leo oxygen" said Melanie smiling.

"Sorry" said Leo pulling away and chuckling.

"I'm pretty tired" whispered Melanie.

Leo turned to the group. "We'll be at home if you need us don't call us"

Cole rolled his eyes as Leo orbed Melanie away. Piper watched with a hint of jealousy.

"That was close" said Paige.

"But too easy" added Darryl.

"Yeah" said Piper. "What was she trying to accomplish with Melanie?"

"Hostage?" said Liz.

"Maybe" said Cole.

"Let's sleep on it" said Darryl.

"We'll meet here tomorrow morning and make battle plans" said Piper. "After I serve breakfast"

Liz shimmered her and Darryl away.

"Becareful and keep your guard up" said Cole. "My mother doesn't believe in cowardness"

Phoebe nodded. "You be careful too"

***Penthouse-Leo's room***

"Sweetie you don't look so well" said Leo hugging Melanie in the bed.

"I'm cool" said Melanie putting her head on his chest. "She just wrestled with me a bit"

***Darryl and Liz's room***

Liz was reading a baby book while eating a chocolate bar and Darryl was getting ready for bed.

"I don't know if I want you in this mess" said Darryl.

"I don't want you in this either" said Liz. "But we both don't want to leave our family"

Darryl nodded.

***Cole's bedroom***

Cole's room was dark, quiet and lonely. He was outside on the balcony looking out onto the city.

***Phoebe's bedroom***

Phoebe was also standing outside. She heard someone enter her room. She turned and saw Paige standing there wearing pink bunny pajamas. Phoebe smiled as her sister sat on her bed.

"Mind If I crash with you?" asked Paige.

"Of course not" said Phoebe sitting next to Paige.

"Thinking about Cole?" asked Paige.

"How did you know?" asked Phoebe.

Paige got under the covers. "It's all over your face"

Phoebe smiled.

"Piper says you get this look everytime you see him or hear his name" said Paige.

Phoebe also got under the covers.

"I don't know" said Phoebe. "It's like I fell in love all over again"

"It was just renewed" said Paige. "Cause it never left"

"But I lost him" said Phoebe. "He doesn't look at me the same anymore, he doesn't even want to be near me"

"Sweetie" said Paige. "That's not true. Leo told me earlier that they were moving only two blocks away from the manor. He's moving closer not further"

"I have to tell you something" said Phoebe. "But you can't tell anyone"

"Oh a secret" said Paige excitedly.

"A couple nights ago I visited Cole in his office to apologize" said Phoebe. "It was storming outside and I fell in his arms. Then we kissed and our bodies electrified. Nothing else in the world mattered just him and I. It was just Phoebe and Cole at that moment and then he pulled back"

"Oh wow" whispered Paige.

"Yeah" said Phoebe. "It was magical"

***Next Day***

Cole woke up at 12:32pm and he sighed. What was going on? He looked around and noticed he wasn't in his bedroom. Veronica walked in.

"Don't get so hyped" said Veronica. "Remember move in day"

"Right" said Cole. "I better go help"

"No you don't" said Veronica pushing him back down. "You're running a fever"

"What?!" cried Cole. "I'm not going to be in bed rest"

Veronica rolled her eyes. Cole ignored her and got up. He put on his robe and went to the bathroom. Veronica threw her hands up in the air and went back downstairs.

"Nope he won't listen to me" said Veronica.

"Figures" said Darryl.

Half hour later Cole came downstairs in a blue dress shirt and black pants. Phoebe took in his aftershave.

"Hey sleepyhead" said Piper.

Cole smiled and Phoebe's heart melted.

"Where's Liz, Paige, and Melanie?" asked Cole.

"At the magic shop" said Piper.

"You sent them alone!" cried Cole.

Veronica placed a cup of tea in Cole's hand.

"Don't get so worked up" said Veronica.

Leo placed a muffin in his other hand.

"So we were thinking of going to the underworld" said Darryl.

"No!" snapped Cole. "She has more power there"

"Sorry" said Darryl holding his hands up.

"Darryl I didn't mean to be rude" said Cole. "Maybe that is a good idea"

"Someone help!" screamed Paige as she and Melanie who were carrying Liz. Liz was crying in pain and holding her stomach. Cole and Darryl rushed her upstairs.

"What happened?" asked Darryl angrily as he glared at Paige.

"There was a demonic attack" said Melanie. "She was hit with a darklighter's arrow"

"Oh dear" said Veronica seeing the blood through Liz's shirt. "Melanie get the creams"

Melanie ran out as Darryl kissed Liz's hand.

"You're going to be okay baby" said Darryl.

"I.know" said Liz shaking.

She wiped Darryl's tears.

"What's going on?" whispered Phoebe to Piper.

"Liz's baby is fighting the poison" said Leo. "There is a minimal chance that the baby would even survive birth. Cole is the only known person to survive being half demon and that was probably because he has The Source's blood"

"Are you going to be Chris and John's whitelighter?" asked Piper.

"Yeah I am" said Leo. "To keep it simple and less crowded"

Cole and Veronica came out and shut Liz's door.

"She'll be okay" said Cole running his hand over his face.

"Paige, Piper, Phoebe, Leo, and I are going" said Cole.

"What about Melanie?" asked Veronica.

"She stays" said Cole. "Let's go"

***Underworld***

"Activity is less in the day" said Cole. "Demons tend to be nocturnal"

He led them to another corridor where there was shouting.

"I wanted you to bring her to me!" screamed Elizabeth at the darklighter. "Not kill her"

The darklighter screamed in pain as he went up in flames. Piper shivered. Elizabeth walked up to the shelf full of potion ingredients. Cole walked inside.

"Hello mother" said Cole coolly.

Elizabeth turned around.

"Cole, what are you doing here?" she asked.

"To kill you" said Cole.

The sister snuck around behind her and Elizabeth turned and kicked Piper into the shelf.

"Uh-oh" said Paige. She kicked Elizabeth's legs out from under her. Black smoke appeared. Demons appeared and Leo ran in and picked up Piper.

"We'll be back" promised Cole as he grabbed Paige and Phoebe and shimmered away.

Leo laid Piper on the couch as she woke up.

"Thanks" muttered Piper.

Phoebe saw Cole charge upstairs and ran her hand through her hair.

"Not easy to destroy her" said Phoebe.

Piper stretched and stood up.

"Yeah she's better than I thought" said Piper.

"Yeah well we need to come up with a better plan" said Paige.

"Come on guys let's head home" said Phoebe.

Paige, Phoebe, and Piper left and Veronica went upstairs.

"I'm worried" said Leo.

"Me too" said Melanie.

***Manor-Night***

"Goodnight my two favorite sisters" said Piper hugging Phoebe and Paige.

"Piper you are acting so weird" said Paige shaking her head.

"I just want to vanquish that demon" said Piper as she shut the door and locked it.

She smiled evilly.

"I'm back" said Piper as she flamed away.

A/N: Whew!!! That was long. Ok people review and I'll keep updating. Adios!
