To Cole with Love

Chapter four: It's my son!

Piper's POV

I walked out of Chris's room, slowly walking downstairs into the kitchen. I had to make lunch, my sisters and their husbands were coming today. I started baking fresh bread – I know Paige's the natural-house-made bread lover and I wanted to surprise her.

As my hands mixed with the flour in the bowl, I started reflecting on the past few weeks. It was a real mess around here, at the Manor. Phoebe, and especially Paige, were all time around, with the kids, but mostly with the Book of Shadows.

I know Phoebe's a little close to the edge with all these Cole issues, but frankly, I think she's overreacting a little bit. Being jumpy is one, but being paranoid, like Phoebe was acting these days, was just a little too more. She was always alerted – with the Book in her hands. She was moody, she was yelling at Peter – which was really strange.

I think she's afraid that Cole would wake up some old feelings. And, as a matter of fact, I think that she's not entirely over him. I raised my head, recognizing the blue and white orbs in front of me that formed my baby sister, in a very cheerful mood.

"Hey," She said smiling at me, smelling the cookies in the oven. "Are those chocolate-chip cookies?" She asked.

I smiled, nodding my head. "Great!" She jumped happily, giving me a quick hug. I was happy to see her so cheerful – she wasn't quite herself these days either.

"That's mostly because of my little niece!" I teased her. She turned her head at me, making a face.

"Nephew, Piper, nephew," She said crossing her arms on her chests.

I rolled my eyes. "When am I going to get a little niece that I can spoil?!" I asked, with a mocking tone. But, it was entirely true. I wanted a daughter or a niece that I could dress in sweet pink dresses and skirts, make hairstyles like to a little princess and take her shopping!

Paige laughed at me. She laughed! How imprudent! "Really, Piper, get a grip," She said still smiling.

I rolled my eyes again at my imprudent baby sister. "So, why did you come anyway?" I asked. "I mean, not that I mind, but I thought you were working," I added.

She shrugged. "I had my charges to take over, so miss Dawson is taking the four year classes today," She simply said. Paige accepted her old job back – to be the director of the Magic School. She was also teaching potion classes and was actually a very good teacher.

"What charges?" I asked giving her a significant look. She nodded, making me realize that she was talking about Cole. "What about him?" I asked.

"Oh, nothing big, you know." Paige said. "He just can't control his powers yet and keeps destroying the microwave,"

I laughed. "So what are you doing, cooking for him?" I asked.

"No, silly, I'm helping him get a hold on those powers," Paige said making a face. I smiled teasingly at her. But, frankly, I was a little concerned. Paige was spending too many time with Cole and too little with Henry. I was scared that it could affect their marriage. Of course, I didn't say anything, it wasn't my business. But, Paige, my sister, didn't let herself fooled. "Piper," She began with a dangerous voice, leaning against the counter, looking at me with her big, hazel orbs.

"Okay, okay," I said giving up. I could never fool her. "I'm just a little scared that your new charge could affect your and Henry's life, you know,"

Paige was wincing for a few moments, but then shrugged. "I explained the situation to my husband," She simply said. "And he said that he trusts my instincts,"

I nodded. After all, who was I to ask?

But, just when I wanted to say something else, I heard something fall on the floor, a big bang and then cries. I looked up at Paige, my heart beating fast and my kids on my mind. I started running out of the kitchen, rushing upstairs. When I opened the door, Paige was already there, hitting the big, ugly demon with everything she could orb at him – lamps, baby toys and other stuff.

I flicked my wrists, but hit the demon in the shoulder. I made a wound and his cry was ripping my ears. I flicked again, hit him in the chests, but he couldn't explode. "Damn!" I heard Paige scream. I looked at her – her hand was bleeding. I saw that my sons have already orbed themselves out of the room. "COLE!" Paige screamed again.

After a few moments, Cole winded up into the room, looking around. He spotted the demon. Making a strange ball into his hand and throwing it at the demon, he vanquished him.

"You guys okay?" He asked looking at me, then at Paige. He saw her bleeding arm and made a worried face, but before he could say anything, Paige healed herself. "Oh," He moaned surprised. "You can heal,"

Paige smiled a half-smile. "Um, yeah," She said shrugging her shoulders.

"How could you hear Paige calling you?" I asked interested, looking at the two. The thought just popped in my mind and I couldn't hold it – they looked so cute together.

Cole shrugged his shoulders. "Charge and white-lighter bond," He said simply. I noticed Paige starting to blush and him getting uncomfortable. This bond didn't exist, did it? something was happening, but I didn't want to sniffle around it – I knew that Paige, sooner or lather, would come to me and talk about it – like she always did.

Suddenly, I turned around, glaring at shimmering waves, my nephew showing up in front of me. He looked at the mess around him and then at his Auntie Paige, to see if she was alright and then he turned to me. "Auntie Piper – what's going on here?" He asked.

I smiled, this boy was getting more mature by every day. "Nothing honey," I answered kneeling in front of him and ruffling his hair. He smiled – I knew he liked it when I did that. "We were just – playing,"

He looked at me mockingly. Then, he glared at Paige. "Playing demon catching again, ha, Auntie Paige?" He asked. Paige laughed, me and Cole joined in.

"Such a hilarious boy," Cole said looking at Peter.

"No, he's a little bratty boy, aren't you Pete?" Paige asked, looking at her oldest nephew.

"Yeah, but you still love me, don't you?" He asked, making me laugh.

Paige nodded smiling. "Piper, your son is really sweet," Cole said. I flinched, I forgot that I said he was actually my son. Peter looked confused at me, but I opened my eyes widely to tell him to play the game. He understood.

"I have the prettiest mommy on the world," He said hugging me. I couldn't help but roll my eyes.

"Little sucker," I whispered into his ear, kissing his cheek lightly. He smiled.

We walked out of the bedroom and downstairs. Cole and Peter were walking behind us, talking something about football. Cole gave a high five to Peter – it seemed the two were cheering for the same club, when Phoebe entered – all red in her face.

"Leave my son alone!" She screamed at Cole. I know, my sister IS stupid.

Cole looked slightly confused. "Your son?" He asked. I closed my eyes, giving up. This couldn't be.

Phoebe realized what she just said – but there wasn't any way out of it. she opened her mouth to speak, but she didn't know what to say. Cole looked down at Peter, then at me, then at Phoebe and then at Paige. "He's – your – son?" He asked, glaring at Phoebe.

But, before Phoebe could answer anything, a warlock blinked in, throwing some shining balls at me and Paige. The one hit Paige, but I felt someone push me out of the way and when I turned back – Paige and Cole were gone.

"Oh my God," I heard Phoebe whisper as she hugged Peter.

My heart was beating fast. Where was my sister?

Note: Sorry guys, for such a lame and short chapter. I just had to put it this way, there wasn't any other. I promise for the next one – a little more action and a little more – romance!

Thanks for everyone who reviewed, it means so much to me!
