Chp.9
The next morning Prue awoke to a bed covered in rose petals. She smiled as she read the letter Cole had left for her.
Meet me at the park at 11. I have a special surprise for you!
Love always, Cole.
As Prue finished reading the note she glanced over at the clock which read 10:00. She still had an hour to get ready and meet Cole so she fell back onto her bed. Prue then felt a little nudge in her stomach. It was a little kick from the baby. Prue smiled. It was so cool to know that she was growing a small form of life inside her. She was getting pretty big too as she was almost 5 months along now. Prue decided that it was time to get in the shower now and meet Cole before it got too late. After a quick shower, Prue was dressed in some of the maternity clothes that Piper and Paige had bought her a couple days ago. When Prue got to the park and stepped out of her car, there was a trail of rose petals leading to behind a tree. Prue followed them to the tree. Cole stepped out behind the tree and blindfolded Prue.
"Where are we going?" Prue asked.
"You'll find out soon enough," he replied. Cole then lead Prue to a beautiful garden filled with colourful flowers. The sight was absolutely breath taking. Cole took the blindfold off. Prue smiled brightly as she looked at the sight with amazement. He was dressed in an elegant tux which made Prue smile even more. Suddenly Cole disappeared for a moment. He then reappeared and held something in his hand showing it to Prue.
"It's a butterfly," Prue said with a smirk on her face but still unimpressed. Suddenly the butterfly flew away and exposed what Cole had really been holding. It glittered dazzling in the sun. Prue's mouth hung open as Cole got to his feet.
"Will you marry?" he asked smiling brightly. Tears came to Prue's eyes as she stared at the man standing before her. My husband. She thought to herself.
"Well?" Cole demanded teasingly.
"Yes!" Prue screamed, tears in her voice. Cole then placed the diamond ring on her finger and carried her to a table where their lunch sat. Once there he wiped the tears from her face. As they ate, Prue couldn't stop admiring the gorgeous diamond ring Cole had placed on her finger. Cole then apologized as he left for his job interview. He was going back into law so they could have a little extra money for the growing family. Cole also kinda wanted to get a place of their own but he decided to wait on that one. Shortly after Cole left, Prue decided to go to P3 and tell Piper what had happened.
"Hey," Piper said as Prue walked into the club. Tomorrow was Valentine 's Day and Piper wanted to get a head start. She kinda wanted to spend V-day with Leo tomorrow and didn't want to be stuck at the club all day getting ready for the much anticipated V-day party the club was hosting.
"Hey yourself," Prue replied happily. All of a sudden Piper caught a glimpse of the glittering rock on Prue's finger. Piper's eyes widened.
"Is that what I think it is?" Piper asked. Prue nodded. Prue then sat down beside Piper and told her everything. "That's soooo romantic!" Piper squealed as Prue finished. "So when do you think you'll have the wedding?"
"I don't know probably after the baby is born. Too much to handle at once and really I'd like to focus on the baby for a while. Cole and I didn't talk much about it anyways, he had to dash to an interview. Shoot that reminds me I have a photo shoot in about an hour. Almost forgot. Can you tell Paige the news for me?" Prue asked her sister.
"Sure when will you be done?" Piper asked.
"A couple hours, shouldn't be too long but I really got to do this shoot. It's going on the cover for next month's issue!"
"Okay well good luck. I love you!"
"I love you too and so does the baby!" and with that Prue was off and running.
"Just a little to the left," instructed Prue. Her editor had decided to come to the shoot as well so Prue had to do an even better job with him standing around. Travis was pretty good to her though and he was being even nicer after finding out that she was pregnant. He was always saying not to push it and if she needed to, she could always take a day off. Prue was the best photographer the magazine had ever had and he knew better than to lose her over something as stupid as not giving her enough time off when she needed it. Prue was a fantastic employee anyways. She always did everything she did to the best of her abilities which were quite high. As Prue finished the final photo Travis began to start up a conversation with her. He enjoyed getting to know his employees especially Prue.
"So Prue when's the baby due?" asked Travis.
"Four months," Prue answered, "four more months and I'll be a mommy to one very special kid."
"Well with you as their mother how can they not be," Travis replied complimenting Prue. Suddenly Prue lost her balance and hit the ground. "Prue!" Travis screamed in horror as he helped her to her feet. He walked her over to a nearby bench and grabbed her some water. Prue's colour started to return to her face as she drank some more water.
"What happened?" Prue asked a little groggily.
"You fell. Are you alright?" Travis asked.
"Yeah I'm better now just a little dehydration that's all," Prue replied reassuringly.
"Well I think you should take some time off. Relax a little. Enjoy the little alone time you have with your husband," Travis said glancing at her sparkling ring.
"Thanks Travis. You're really a great guy," Prue replied as she gathered her film and headed home. Prue didn't think she would tell the family about her little incident at the shoot. It would just have to stay between Travis and her.
