Note: I have to thank for all the reviews, I appreciate that! Sorry about the grammar, I tried my best to make as less mistakes as possible, but English is not my language. The thing with Phoebe's son Peter will be revealed in further chapters. Now, enjoy!

To Cole with Love

Chapter two: A purpose

"You guys know each other?" Paige asked confused when Coop joined the living room.

Peter looked confused at the man and then he walked over to his Aunt Piper. "Hey, Auntie, who's that man?" he asked.

Piper ruffled her nephew's hair. "Honey, maybe you should go upstairs and look if Chris is still asleep," She said. When the boy gave her his green-eyes-wide-stare, Piper bowed on his level. "We'll talk lather, I promise," She said. Peter nodded, smiled at his mom, who blew him a kiss and at his other Aunt and shimmered out.

"Wow, shimmering. Paige – yours?" Cole asked interested.

"No," Paige said. She looked at Phoebe, trying to find out how much she was allowed to tell.

"Piper – I see, Leo and you haven't been in the mood, ha?" He asked again, turning to the oldest sister, smiling a sly grin.

"Completely beside the point," Piper mumbled.

"Cole, I asked you something – why are you here?" Coop asked, joining Phoebe's side.

Cole looked for a few moments at the happy couple. "That's so low, Coopy-boy," He said, in a cold, unease tone. "You shouldn't have copy everything I do,"

Phoebe raised her eye browns. "What are you talking about?" She asked.

Cole leaned against the doorframe once again. "You see – Coop here and me – we are, in fact – related," He said.

"What?!" The three sisters screamed. Phoebe turned her head to gaze at Cupid – who had a stony face with his eyes coldly fixed on Cole. "What is he talking about?" Phoebe asked, when she understood that Coop wouldn't talk nor look down at her.

"As I said – we are related. He's my – cousin." Cole said. "Well, most likely my brother, we grew up together,"

"This can't be true," Phoebe mumbled. "Coop tell me – is that true?" She asked.

Coop, still, didn't talk. After a few moments of an awkwardly cold silence, he spoke, to Cole. "You always have your ways to destroy my life, Cole," He said.

Cole raised his eye brown. "So, now, you're blaming me?" Cole asked.

"You little …" Coop began.

"STOP this nonsense right away!" Piper yelled, seeing that Phoebe's face went pale. She walked to her sister. "Coop, bring her up into my room," She said. Coop didn't react. "NOW CUPID!" She screamed. Coop wrapped his arms around her waist and lifted her up in his arms. He walked next to Cole, walking upstairs and disappearing.

Paige grabbed the phone and dialed a number. After she talked to the doctor, she quit the conversation and felt silent, watching Piper disappear behind the corner into the kitchen. Then, she looked at Cole, who was still standing on the doorway. "Now, tell me – why are you here for, what do you have to do with our cupid and why is he saying that you ruined everything?" She asked, folding her hands on her chests.

Cole noticed how she and Phoebe – with that exact hand movement – looked so alike. He was staring at her for another few moments, before he spoke. "Look, Paige I really didn't mean to get here – I was sent by something or someone. I really don't know anything about it."

"How strange it may sound – I actually believe you." Paige said taking a deep breath. She indicated for him to sit on the sofa and he accepted it. she sat opposite him. "Now, tell me about Coop,"

Cole took a deep breath. "His mother is my Aunt – that leaves us cousins," He said. "His mother fell for that cupid – she was a cupid too. My father raised us, until my mother kidnapped me. Well, it seems that at that same time, Coop went into serving the greater Love-and-Good purpose. We never crossed our ways – until the day I found Phoebe. He came up to me, telling me that I'll, despite of my plan, eventually fall for her. I refused to believe that – until it happened, of course." He stopped, taking another deep breath.

"I see," Paige said. "Go on,"

"Well, when the Source possessed me – he came to me once again, telling me that I'll loose Phoebe that way. I refused to believe that too. Until it, of course, happened. Before Phoebe came up to vanquish me – I called for him. He told me that, despite of the circumstances, I was the perfect match for Phoebe. But, that I had to be aware of my mistakes and that I had to pay for the evil I have done. Well, I did."

"But you can't believe he's with Phoebe now – and not you," Paige said.

Cole nodded. "I mean what's that nonsense anyway? A cupid and a witch?"

"Look, Cole, Coop was assigned to find a perfect match for Phoebe – by the Elders. He didn't actually mean to hit on her – it just happened. It's love," Paige explained. She felt sorry for the poor guy.

Cole nodded. "I thought it would be something like that. And anyway, who wouldn't fall for Phoebe? The woman has her charms," He said smiling weakly. Paige nodded in agreement. Her sister always had that little something that men loved – she was a natural lover.

Cole stood up – and so did Paige. "Maybe I should go until she feels better," He said sadly.

Paige nodded. "Look, I'll check with the Elders, the Angel of Death and other God-knows-how-many-there-are angels and I'll call you, maybe you have a purpose here, on the Earth," She said.

Cole smiled. "Thank you Paige," He said. "You sure did change a lot,"

"What a married life does to a woman," Paige said with a sign. Cole chuckled and disappeared, in a storm of wind. Paige was standing there for a few more moments, thinking why he didn't shimmer out, but winded out. Then, shaking her head, she went off to see if her sister was doing fine.

Piper was making the soup for Phoebe, it would do good for her. "Did you talk to him?" Piper asked, not really turning around when Paige entered.

"Uh-oh," Paige said nodding. "I think that this time, he's telling the truth,"

Piper turned to glare at her sister. "I think that too," She said. "Mostly because – he couldn't escape Hell and … I don't know … I felt like a … vibe from him,"

"Yeah, the vibe, do too," Paige said agreeing with her sister. "But, frankly, I can't explain it. but it's not bad. And if I could guess, I would tell it's good. And can you believe that he actually winded out?"

"Winded?" Piper asked confused. "Like flew away with the wind?"

Paige nodded signing. "I only saw … actually … I saw me using that kind of teleporting – when I was the Goddess of War," She said.

"I just hope he doesn't get too lost," Piper said. She took the plate and walked out of the kitchen, followed by the youngest Charmed One. When they entered Piper's room, Phoebe was sitting on the bed, wrapped into a huge fight with her husband.

"I don't want to hear those lame excuses!" She yelped back at him, but when Piper and Paige entered, she stopped turning to gaze back at them. "Is he gone?" She asked.

Coop frenetically turned around to gaze at his wife. Piper decided to ignore that. "Yes, he's gone," She answered.

"For good?" Phoebe asked.

"No, for like an hour or two," Paige said sitting next to her sister. Phoebe gave her a desperate look. "Look, Phoebs, we'll fix this, for good. And we'll fix it so that both sides can be happy,"

"How do you mean both sides?" Coop asked his sister-in-law. "He's a demon, there is no happiness for a demon,"

"My son is a demon too, Cupid!" Phoebe said raged.

Coop glared at Phoebe, confused with her hormonally-crazy attitude. "I didn't say anything about Pete, h-o-n-e-y." He answered back.

"Stop fighting," Piper said. She turned to Phoebe. "We just think that he couldn't willingly escape Hell. That leaves us the option that he was sent here – for a reason. And I don't care if you like it or not, Coop, we have to help him."

"Help him – how?" Phoebe asked.

"Well, I thought of talking with the Elders and Angels about him, to see if they know anything," Paige said. Coop gave her a look of complete disagreement, but she ignored it. "And if we find anything out, we'll help him,"

Piper nodded. "I know it wouldn't be fair to you, after everything he has done to you," She said. "But, maybe he's not evil anymore,"

"Piper, hello, he's a half-demon, he has to be evil, it's mother nature!" Coop yelled.

"Oh, zip it, Cupid!" Piper yelled. "You're talking to the used-to-be-24-hours mother nature!"

Paige laughed at that. Coop was about to, but he stopped. "Look, Piper, I'm not questioning the work of the Charmed Ones, or their instincts, I'm just worried about the lives of all us, Cole is an upper …" He began, but once again, Piper cut him off.

"Level demon, we know, thank you, mister feeling-it-smart," She said. "Look, Coop, we dialed with Cole before and we know him, so don't worry, nothing's going to happen,"

Coop nodded, but he wasn't entirely convinced. "You okay?" He asked Phoebe. When she nodded, he bent down to kiss her forehead and her tummy. "Take care of your mommy, sweetheart," He said and cupid-way orbed out.

"So, I guess, I should start the work," Paige said making a face and orbing out.

Piper smiled at her sister, sitting down next to her and hugging her. Phoebe leaned against her sister's shoulder. She had to rest – her head was pounding hard.

After an hour, Paige came back, finding her sisters into the kitchen. Piper was leaned against the counter and Phoebe was sitting on the chair. "Hey," Piper said looking up, smiling at her sister.

"What'd they say?" Phoebe asked instantly, earning a warning look from Paige. She walked to the table and sat opposite Phoebe.

"Well, not much, as usual," Paige said shrugging. "New charges, new witches, usual bubbling,"

"What'd they say about Cole?" Phoebe spat out. Paige giggled at Piper and gave her the look teasing-is-so-way-fun. "You know, our fellow demonic little problem?"

"He's not a problem, at least not yet," Piper said shrugging. "So, what'd they say?"

Paige rolled her eyes, angry that her big sister spoiled the game to her. "They said, well … that they don't know anything," She said. Piper and Phoebe rolled their eyes.

"So, where have you been this long then?" Phoebe asked eagerly to know.

"With Cole, trying to fill him in with all the events and helping him find a place to live in," Paige said shrugging. "Well, that didn't take long, but then I had to go home and take some papers at Henry's office. He's been forgetting those papers all the way around for quite few days now,"

"Fill him in the events?" Phoebe bite. "What events?"

"Events, you know, what happened to us, our families, the Evil," Paige said making a face. "Why is that such a big deal?"

"The big deal is, Paige, that you're giving him weapon to destroy us!" Phoebe yelled standing up.

"Destroy? Us? Cole?" Piper asked confused. "Phoebe, I think you're a little paranoid,"

"Paranoid?" Phoebe asked. "Like Hell I am! If the Elders don't know anything about it, then it means he escaped alone!"

"Phoebe, stop that nonsense," Paige said, making a dangerous face. "We'll summon someone who will know what's happening with the Cole-thing,"

"Who?" Piper and Phoebe both asked, confused, but eager to know what the youngest had planed.

Paige smiled slyly. "You'll see," She said, walking out of the kitchen, leaving her sisters to trail after her into the attic.
