Phoebe was so upset and disappointed, she didn't want to see Cole. He tried calling her all day on her cell and at the manor, but nobody replied. He needed to explain to her that he only went to the Underworld to get rid of the Sorcerer. Phoebe didn't know he helped him bring her back or that he used dark magic. If she knew, she'd be even more upset. He just wanted to protect her that was all.
"Honey, do you need anything?" Piper asked Phoebe.
"No, thank you Piper." Phoebe smiled to her.
"Hey, I'm not defending him or anything, but when he talked to me in the kitchen, he made it sound important and told me it would be the last time."
"Yeah, that's what he says every single time. I don't think I can believe anything that comes out of his mouth anymore."
"He loves you." Piper said.
"I know... And I love him. So much, Piper, but he can't lie to me like that. He just can't. Why couldn't he just tell me about the Sorcerer? Why would he even be connected with a Sorcerer? Makes no sense to me." Phoebe said.
"Maybe you should talk to him." Piper urged her.
"I can't right now. I feel so powerless and so defeated. I can't do anything right now."
"Get some sleep, sweetie. For what it's worth, he didn't want to hurt you." Piper said and left the room.
Phoebe sighed and checked her phone. She had so many missed calls and messages. After giving it some thought, she decided to listen to her messages.
"Phoebe, I'm sorry. Let me explain..."
Phoebe hang up, as tears fell from her eyes. He sounded so desperate and so hurt, but she was so mad at him. She was hurt, too. It's like the conversation they had meant nothing to him. How could he do that?
The next day Phoebe got up and decided to go to the condo and talk with Cole.
Cole opened the door and his jaw dropped when he saw her in front of him.
"Phoebe..."
She walked in and sat at the couch.
"You have five minutes." Phoebe said never taking off her sunglasses.
"Honey..."
"Just tell me the truth. All of it. From the beginning and don't you dare lie to me, Cole. I swear, I can't take any more lies from you." Phoebe said.
"I'm sorry, baby. I'm so sorry." Cole sat next to her.
"Don't touch me." Phoebe told him.
"I'm sorry." Cole whispered hurt. "When you were gone, I went mad, I wanted to die. I couldn't deal with it. It was the worst and most devastating thing that has ever happened to me." Cole told her.
"Cole, you've lost your dad. I know that was..."
"Doesn't even come close to losing you." Cole told her and she looked at him. "All I knew was that I had to get it together to save you."
"You've told me that part already. Cole, you said you found a spell that brought me back, but I know that's not the whole truth." Phoebe said, as she took off her sunglasses and Cole smiled to her. "Stop smiling."
"I'm sorry, it's just, you're so beautiful. I would have done it all again, if it meant to save you. I don't regret anything."
"Really? Not even telling me that you were going to the Underworld again?"
"No, that I would have changed. I should have told you, but... I was scared."
"Of what? God, Cole. Why in the world would you be scared?"
"Phoebe, the only way I found to get you back was through that Sorcerer..."
"What did you do?"
Cole explained to her how he resurrected him and created a connection between them and how he used a spell from the Grimoire.
"Oh, my God. You used dark magic to bring me back. Cole, that is so stupid." Phoebe stood up.
"Phoebe, please. It was the only way and it worked. You're here with me. I never want to lose you again. Don't do this to me." Cole said.
"Do what to you, Cole? Does that mean I'm evil again or our babies? Does that mean you are evil again? I told you I never wanted to use dark magic again. Ever." Phoebe yelled.
"Damn it, Phoebe. What don't you understand? It was the only way." Cole stood up as well.
"Then maybe you should have just leave me dead. That's why once you're dead, you're dead. Not everyone is like you."
"Baby..." Cole said heartbroken.
"I can't believe you did so many stupid things."
"That's how I am. I'm stupid without you. Phoebe, you are my life. You are my sanity. You are my love. You are my all. I don't want to live, unless you are here with me. You make me feel complete."
"That is crazy. You can't say things like that."
"It's the truth."
"Cole..."
"I'm sorry for not telling you everything earlier, but that is all. I swear. And no, I'm not evil and you are not evil."
"How can I believe anything you tell me anymore?" Phoebe shook her head.
"I understand, it will take some time to trust me again..."
"How many times have we done this? How many times have you broken my trust? How many times have we reunited like it's not a big deal, when it is? It is a very big deal." Phoebe said heartbroken and desperate. "Sometimes, I feel like we are cursed."
"No." Cole said firmly.
"Look at us. Look at our relationship."
"We have had a lot of obstacles, but we never gave up. I never gave up and never will. We will defeat whatever they throw at us. We can't let them win." Cole told her.
"Who?"
"The Elders, the demons, destiny, fate? Whoever is against us, damn it."
"Cole, every time you lie to me, it's not somebody else's fault. It's your own." Phoebe told him.
"I hate lying to you, but those things... I knew they would upset you and you're pregnant. I didn't..."
"You need to stop doing that."
"Does that mean..."
"Cole, you are the father of my children. You are the love of my life. I love you so much, it hurts, but I can't keep doing this. I need to put an end to this."
"What do you mean?" Cole asked worried.
"We should take a break." Phoebe said sadly.
"No, please." Cole tried to breathe.
"I just can't. I can't." Phoebe said.
"Tell me what I have to do to make this right again. Please." Cole fell on his knees in front of her.
"Stop with the lies and be a man. Own up to your mistakes." Phoebe said.
"I swear, I'll never lie to you again. Just please..."
"We need to take a break." Phoebe said and fell on her knees, too. "Please, just do this for me and our babies."
"That's not the way to fix things." Cole told her as tears fell down his cheeks.
"I know it's hard, but it's the only way." Phoebe cried, too.
Cole touched her cheek slowly afraid she would pull back, but when she didn't, he brought her lips closer to his and kissed her gently. He pulled back and looked at her crying.
"Please, don't cry." Cole begged.
"I have to go." Phoebe said.
"Phoebe, no."
"You can come to doctor's appointments, but that's all until the babies are born, you can't go to the manor."
"Phoebe, come on."
"Bye. I will call you." Phoebe said and looked at him and then left.
Cole started crying even more, when she closed the door and didn't know what to do.
Months had passed... Phoebe and Cole were still living separately. He only called her to ask about the babies and only saw her at the doctor's appointments. Every time he saw her, she was bigger and bigger. Cole couldn't believe how fast her belly grew and he hated that he missed everything. He wanted to be next to her, help her, hold her, talk to his babies, he wanted to be there for her, but she wouldn't let him be as close as he would want to.
"What?! But I thought we had another week!" Cole yelled through the phone. "I'm on my way."
It was time. Phoebe had contractions and was headed to the hospital, when Piper called him. Piper had given birth a month ago to a beautiful baby boy, Wyatt Matthew.
Cole was terrified. He hoped everything would turn out well and it did. After 16 hours, the babies came. Cole was inside the room, while Phoebe was giving birth to two beautiful babies. He was holding Phoebe's hand throughout it all and she squeezed it so hard, he thought she'd break it, but it didn't matter. He didn't care. All he wanted was to make it as easier for her as possible and everyone to be healthy. When the babies came out, they both started crying. Cole helped her hold both babies.
"They are beautiful." Phoebe smiled crying.
"They are beautiful." Cole said emotionally and kissed her head.
"Our babies." Phoebe said.
"You did it, sweetie. You did it."
"Look at them, they are so tiny." Phoebe said.
"We need to take them to examine them and make sure everything's ok, all right?" The nurse told them.
"Is there something wrong with my babies?" Phoebe said worried, her heart was beating so fast.
"No, no, everything is ok. Just a standard procedure we do with all babies." The nurse said, "Nothing to worry about." She smiled at them.
"Ok." Phoebe said.
"Don't worry." Cole told her. "How are you feeling?" He asked her after they took the babies.
"Exhausted. I never really knew the meaning of the word till now." Phoebe said.
"You did great." Cole kissed her head again.
"A little boy and a little girl." Phoebe smiled to him.
"Yes." Cole smiled widely. "You've given me the most amazing gift, Phoebe." Cole held her hand.
"You, too." Phoebe said.
"Here they are. They are both 100% healthy." The nurse smiled at them, as she came back with them after a few minutes.
"Thank you so much." Phoebe smiled tiredly.
"Do you wanna hold them for a while?"
"Do you even have to ask?" Phoebe said and took one in her arms and the other was given to Cole.
"We will give you some time, before we let the others in, ok?" The nurse said.
"Thanks." Cole said.
"Oh, my God. Look at them. We made these." Phoebe said.
"We did." Cole said and turned his head towards Phoebe and kissed her lips.
She didn't pull away, but kissed him back.
"We haven't done that in a while." Phoebe said.
"I'm sorry." Cole said.
"I'm not." Phoebe said.
"Hey, oh my god! The babies!" Paige yelled as she and Piper entered the room.
Phoebe and Cole were still looking at each other, but Phoebe was the first one to break away from his gaze.
"Hey, shhh... They are sleeping." Phoebe said.
"Sorry." Paige whispered, but she was so excited she couldn't stop smiling.
"They are beautiful, guys." Piper smiled.
"They really are." Phoebe said smiling.
