This chapter is just a lot of snippits of their lives with Cole. I just wanted to show him as a part of the family, it'll have importance on the next couple of chapter's. I am getting two chapters out now. I had the one after this written a while ago, but I was having trouble with this one. It's been a little while since I updated so I just decided to post them together.

"Oh, hey." Prue walked into the kitchen. "Where is everybody?" Cole stood.

"Piper went to the club. I have no idea where Phoebe is." Prue nodded and then came over to him.

"Well, I was going to ask one of them, but here," she held up her newest batch of photos that she was planning on taking to the magazine that day. "Could you tell me what you think?" She watched him as he looked through them.

"They're really good." He said with a smile. She smiled back at him. "So, I take it you like the new job?"

"Yeah, it's great...being able to do something that I really love, you know?" She walked over to grab a cup of coffee. "What about you?"

"What about me? I don't think photography is really my thing." She rolled her eyes, turning back to him.

"You know what I mean." She rested her elbows on the counter. "I know that the lawyer thing was just a cover, but did you actually like it? I mean, when you actually did the job?" He frowned a little.

"I'm not sure. I wasn't really focused on the job. Mostly I was focused on you and your sisters." Prue waved that away.

"Yeah, I know. But you're different now. You ever thought about it? Like, what you're going to do in the long run?"

"I can't exactly get a normal job, Prue. Not when I'm on the Source's hit list and a suspect in the eyes of the police."

"Yeah, I know that, but things change." Cole raised an eyebrow.

"Yes, well, as I'm not about to become human any time soon, I doubt that will."

"Why are you freaking out?" Cole asked, looking around the room before meeting Prue's eyes. "Everything seems fine."

"Yeah, I know." Prue hesitated. "It's just, you know, I worry. I'm sure you've noticed by now that that's what I do best. I mean, the last time I tried to get married, it didn't turn out so well."

"Yes, but that was different. You and Leo were doing it in secret, behind the elder's backs and the only reason it didn't work was because of me. Sorry about that, by the way."

"No, no. It probably wouldn't have worked anyway. Something would have happened, or the elders could have done something after we got married. I mean, us getting married wouldn't have stopped Leo from being a whitelighter. I just can't help but to worry about them interfering this time."

"They did give you the go ahead, didn't they? Besides, you never seemed the type to give up to me." Prue nodded.

"That's true. We'll get through this." She smiled. "Thanks." He frowned.

"For what?"

"Oh, you know. Letting me vent." He shrugged.

"No problem."

"We are gathered her to unite two souls as one..." Piper, Phoebe, Cole, Darryl, Patty, and Victor all smiled as they stood by Prue and Leo as they finally got married.

"Hey." Phoebe bounced down in the seat next to Paige with a smile.

"Hey, what's up?" Phoebe shrugged.

"Oh, you know. I'm just trying to give Prue and Leo a little privacy." Paige nodded.

"Right, the wedding. How did that go?"

"It went great. I've never seen Prue happier." Paige gestured towards the bar.

"Seems like both your sisters are." Phoebe glanced over. Pipe was behind the bar, working, or at least she was supposed to be. However, Cole was on the other side, and she seemed to be a little preoccupied with him.

"Yeah. I'm...happy for them. They deserve to be happy."

"Yeah, but doesn't it just make you want to find a guy like that. Hell, I don't even know your sisters, and it kinda makes me want to." Phoebe nodded.

"Yeah, sure. But, you know, we'll get there. That is, if we can find guys who won't bail on us for other women." Paige laughed and nodded.

"That's true."

"I wasn't that bad." Piper said, glaring at her sisters and settling back against Cole.

"Piper, you called me a bitch." Piper grinned at Phoebe, who rolled her eyes.

"You guys turn into the things you fight a lot?" Cole asked.

"No, just a couple of times." Prue said.

"Yes, but that was the first time." Piper pointed out. "And it freaked me the hell out."

"Coffee?" Phoebe asked, reaching around Cole to hand the cup to Prue.

"Thanks." Prue said her eyes on the paper.

"I gotta go." Phoebe said, jumping up. "I said I'd meet Paige at the gym."

"Alright, hey." Prue looked up. "Are we still going out tonight?"

"Sure. Meet you at the club later?" Prue nodded, and Piper opened the fridge.

"I've got to go to the store to pick up a few things."

"Well, I'm going to go. I'll see you later?" He asked, leaning down to kiss Piper.

"Be careful." Prue said absently.

"Always." He said before shimmering out. Piper grabbed her purse.

"I'll see you at P3?"

"So..." Piper said when Cole wrapped his arms around her. "You realize that it's been six months." She grinned. "And I'm not even counting those months when you were trying to kill me." Cole smiled, leaning in to kiss her.

"Yes, I realize." She nodded.

"We should do something, people usually do something."

"What did you want to do?" Piper opened her mouth to answer but was interrupted by a yell from downstairs. She and Cole exchanged a glance before he shimmered them both down to the living room. Cole pulled Piper to the side when an energy ball was sent their way by one of the demons, and then he was sprinting away from her and towards Phoebe.

"Look out!" Cole tackled Phoebe to the floor, out of the way of the energy ball that almost collided with her head. Piper stood, raising her hands and blowing the demon up. Cole sent an energy ball at the other.

"Thanks." Phoebe said as Cole helped her up. He nodded. He turned just as another demon appeared behind Piper.

"Piper!" He yelled. Piper was in the way, he couldn't send an energy ball, so he started over. Piper turned, raising her hands. She did manage to blow the demon up but not before he sent an athame at her.

Cole made it over in time to catch her when she wavered on her feet, looking down at the blade that was buried in her abdomen. Phoebe ran over as well.

"Leo!" She called. "Leo!" A second later, Leo did orb in. He didn't say anything, just took one look at Piper and ran over. He pulled the blade out of Piper, causing her to give a cry before he healed the wound.

"You alright?" Cole asked, still holding onto her. She smiled at him.

"Of course I am."

"So, what are you guys planning for tonight?" Prue asked later. Piper shrugged.

"I'm not sure. I still can't believe he's been living here for six months."

"Yeah." Prue said thoughtfully. "I know that I didn't always trust...or like Cole in the past..."

"But now?" Prue smiled at her sister.

"Now, I'm glad he's here. You know, I've never seen you happier than when you're with him, and he had become a member of the family over the past months." Piper smiled.

"Thank you." She said. "I can't imagine my life with anyone else."

It shouldn't have been such a surprise when demons interrupted the dinner that Cole had planned for them. He had definitely gone all out, somehow managing to rent out a restaurant so they could be alone. Even if it wasn't such a surprise, it still pissed Piper off.

"Son of a..." Piper blew up one of the demons in a fury when it got a lucky shot off on Cole, sending him flying across the room and into the wall. Cole vanquished the other one with an energy ball and Piper went over to him.

"You alright?" She asked, kneeling next to him.

"I'm good." He said, putting a hand on the back of his head.

"Good." She turned and looked to where the demon used to be. "You know, I kind of wish I could bring those demons back to life so I could blow them up again."

"Really?" She could see the amusement in Cole's eyes.

"Yes. Can't they leave us alone for just one night?" Cole raised an eyebrow.

"Piper, don't you say that every time they interrupt us?" She glared at him and gave a cry when he suddenly dove forward, taking them both to the floor, him on top of her. She saw the energy ball pass over his head. Cole raised up enough to send his own.

Piper stared up at him when he looked back down at her, and he leaned in the rest of the way to kiss her. She wrapped an arm around his neck. When he sat up, he kept his hold on her, and didn't break the kiss. She opened her eyes for a brief moment, just in time to see another demon appear behind Cole. She broke the kiss for a moment.

"No interrupting." She said, blowing this demon up as well. Cole shook his head, smiling at her.

"Marry me?" She froze at the words and looked back at him.

"Huh?"

"Hey, you're back early." Prue said when Piper walked into the attic. She nodded.

"Yeah, we sort of got interrupted."

"Demons? Are you guys alright?" Piper nodded.

"Yeah, we're fine." Prue frowned.

"Where is Cole?" Piper shrugged, beginning to pace a little.

"Oh, you know. He's out, trying to get them off his trail again." Prue's frown deepened as she watched her sister.

"But what good will that do? The entire underworld knows he's living here." Piper nodded.

"Yeah, I know. I sort of asked him to give me some time."

"Time for what?" Piper sighed and sat down on the couch, putting a hand to her forehead.

"Prue..." She hesitated for a moment. "What would you say if I told you that he...well, he sort of asked me to marry him." Prue's eyes widened.

"What?" She went over to her sister and sat down next to her on the couch. Piper nodded.

"Yeah."

"He asked you..." She shook her head. "What did you say?"

"I told you, I asked him for some time. I never thought he'd actually ask that question." Prue frowned again.

"Why not? I mean, he does love you? You've never thought about it?" Piper shrugged.

"Maybe." She looked out. "But I didn't think it'd come up so soon."

"Soon?" Prue asked incredulously. "Piper, you guys have been in love for almost a year. And, I know you probably don't technically count those first few months that he was still trying to kill us, but if you think about...he did fall in love with you when he was still supposed to be the bad guy. Giving up everything, giving up his heritage, that kind of love...it's powerful. He completely switched sides for you."

"So, what? Are you arguing in favor of marriage?" Prue hesitated for a moment.

"I want you to be happy, Piper, but he is still half demon." She held up a hand when Piper opened her mouth. "I'm not talking about him turning evil again or something like that. He's been living with us, fighting with us for six months. I know he's a good guy. Hell, he's apart of this family now. I'm just worried...about what you'd be getting yourself into if you go through with this."

"What do you mean?"

"Well, none of the underworld is too fond of Cole, and I'm betting the elders would have something to say about this. I don't want you to go through what I went through with Leo."

"I get that. I really do, but it was worth it, wasn't it? Everything that you guys went through was worth it now that you're together, wasn't it?" She met her sister's eyes. "I love him, just as much as you love Leo."

"I know, but Piper-"

"Prue, if I would take on the Source by myself for him. I can't imagine not having him in my life, not being with him. I can't imagine ever loving anyone else, and if anything ever happened to him..." She shook her head, not finishing the thought. Prue sighed and brushed some of Piper's hair back.

"It sounds like to me that you don't really need my advice on this one." She glanced over at Cole as he shimmered in. "Just be sure." Piper looked over at him as well.

"I am." She said as Prue walked out of the room.

"Did you want me to come back later?" Cole asked.

"No." Piper stood up. "Cole-"

"I freaked you out, didn't I?" He asked, coming closer to her. "What I don't understand is why. I know. I'm still a demon, you're still a witch, but that shouldn't matter. We've been living together for months. Even you're sisters have accepted it-"

"Cole, stop." Piper said, reaching out to put her hands on his waist.

"If you need more time, I get it, but I really do love you, Piper."

"I love you too." She said softly. "That's why my answer is yes." Cole stared at her.

"Yes?" She grinned at him.

"Don't look so surprised. You thought I was going to say no?"

"Yes?" Cole repeated, a smile coming to his face. She nodded, lifting herself up so that she could kiss him.

"Yes, I'd love to be your wife."
