My One and Only 9

A/N: Sorry for not updating in so long but here's another chapter...

6 months pregnant and Piper is at the penthouse we're looking at some wallpaper for the nursery that we're going to build at the manor.

"So Leo will start building out your closet next week" said Piper.

I nodded.

"Prue you're absolutely glowing" said Piper smiling.

"Yeah and fat too" I joked.

Piper laughed and shook her head.

"How's Phoebe?" I asked. Last month I guess Piper had a talk with Phoebe cause she started calling me everyday checking on me.

"She's good" said Piper. "This whole Jason thing is crawling on my last nerve"

I raised my eyebrows, no surprise there.

"They got back together last night" said Piper. "This is the fifth time in months and I'm about to kick her out the manor"

"She's confused" I said.

I heard the door shut. Cole walked in and put his things on the glass table. Piper closed her book and grabbed her purse. I frowned.

"Hello Piper" said Cole.

"Hey" said Piper back. "I'm going to the manor"

"See ya Piper" I said as she kissed my cheek. She left the penthouse.

"Well sorry for ruining the visit" muttered Cole.

"No she really did have to go" I said. "It's 8 o'clock"

Cole nodded. "I was thinking we could go out to eat. You know get out of the house"

"That would be great" I said smiling.

"Good" said Cole. "Let's go"

Olive Garden

Cole and I ordered this huge dinner. I swallowed the last bite of my big bowl of spaghetti. Cole laughed as he gestured around his mouth.

"What?" I asked moving to my fudge sundae topped with lots of nuts.

"You have sauce all around your mouth" he said still smiling.

He grabbed his napkin and carefully dabbed around my mouth.

"Oh" I said putting my hand to get the napkin instead I touched his hand. He pulled away and cleared his throat. "So how are you feeling?"

"Different" I replied. "More powerful, and peaceful"

He nodded.

"You deserve that" he remarked. The check was put on the table.

"You two look really adorable" said the waitress smiling at them.

"No" we said shaking our heads and smiling.

"Just friends" said Cole lightly while looking at me. A smile still plastered on my face.

"Very good friends" I said. The waitress smiled and walked away.

Cole peered past me and suddenly his smile faded away and he went into his jacket pocket.

"Cole, what's wrong?" I asked looking behind me.

I saw Phoebe and Jason laughing and feeding eachother breadsticks. We got up to leave.

"Cole wait a minute" I said as I walked over to them.

"Prue" said Cole.

Phoebe and Jason looked up as I arrived at their table.

"You two look cute" I said wryly.

"So do you Prue" said Jason looking over at Cole.

"Cole is so sweet" I said. "He does everything for me"

I laughed. "He always makes me feel safe, warm and comfortable. If this baby had to be anyone's I'm glad it's his"

Phoebe looked at me shockingly.

"Well hope you two have a nice dinner" I said taking a breadstick. "Ciao"

They gaped at me as I slid my arm around Cole and we left.

Penthouse-Next Day

I was meditating on the living room floor. Cole had told me that meditating will help me focus with the baby. Strength flowed through me and I could feel my baby. I sensed Cole walking in. I opened my eyes.

"Cole come touch the baby" I said. "The baby's kicking"

"Maybe some other time Prue" he said.

"Come on Cole" I pleaded. "Meditate with me"

He sighed and sat on the floor across from me. I grabbed his hands and watched as he closed his eyes.

I sucked in a deep breath. I felt pain, and fear and a jolt of more power. It was exciting. This was a good feeling. It almost felt right to be like this. To be together, us three. I felt him pull back and get up quickly.

"What's wrong?" I asked getting up.

"Everything" he said fearfully. "This...this is not right the two of us"

"Cole you'll have to get over it" I said putting my hands on my hips while walking up to him. "This baby is here and due in three months"

"And I can't wait" said Cole. "I'm going to fill this baby's life with so much love that you can't imagine but Prue I can't be like this with you. I don't want to get too close"

"Why?" I asked angrily. "What is the problem?"

"Nothing, never mind" he answered. He started to walk towards his bedroom when I grabbed his arm and whirled him around.

"Tell me!" I cried.

"You really want to know Prue!" he shouted. "Cause in three months you'll leave and I'll be alone!"

He took a deep breath and I was taken aback. Without realizing or even thinking about it I kissed him. I kissed him deeply and with much meaning. He returned the kiss eagerly. The pulled away as if he touched fire.

"Don't do that" he said backing away. "Don't make commitments you can't keep. Please"

He walked into his room leaving me in thought.

I didn't think it would happen

I hoped it wouldn't happen

It did and I can't make it go away

I had fallen in love with him

A/N: Hoped you liked that chapter. I'll try to update more regularly...
