"Alright, call Paige. I got a summoning spell for Mylie here but we need the power of three." Phoebe instructed Cole.
Cole nodded and went to get her.
"Piper, are you sure your feeling up to it?" she asked when he was gone.
"I think I can manage a spell Phoebe, it's battling that's worrying me. I don't want to leave my baby without a mommy."
Just then Cole came in with Paige.
"No luck finding the boyfriend. I don't even know his name." she rolled her eyes and sat on the couch.
"Here's the spell." Phoebe handed a copy of the spell to Piper and Paige.
"In the sake of love she risked her soul,
Made a deal with evil to become whole,
Bring us this mermaid,that's our goal."
They chanted.
Mylie appeared in the middle of the attic floor.
"Send me back. I just want to die. Craig will never love me. I'm a freak. He's getting on a plane now. I want to be gone when he comes back."
"Never, ever believe that. Come on, just tell us what plane he's on." Urged Phoebe.
Mylie sighed.
"He's on the Q27 plane to NY." She said sadly.
Phoebe turned to Paige. "Paige, will you.."
"Way ahead of you," said Paige, in mid-orb.
Paige came back with Craig.
"Hey, get off me!" he screamed.
"Craig..." said Mylie, tears filling her eyes.
"Mylie?"
"I...have to tell you something." she grabbed a vase and spilled the water on her legs. They imediatly became a tail. "I'm a mermaid."
"I...I..." Craig, just stood there, stunned.
Mylie began to sob. "I wanted to tell you before...but I was afraid...I was afraid of..." she looked up at him and saw his horrified face. "That you would look at me like that... If you said you loved me, I could have became human and been with you, but if you don't, I'll die... but I thought, well, if you said it before you found out, then you wouldn't ever have to know...that you would never have to think of me as such a freak."
Craig was silent for a few moments.
"You should have told me." he said weakly. "I can never think of you as that. I love you."
Mylie looked up, her face brightning as her tail slowly became legs.
Cole was sitting on the couch with Phoebe sitting in his lap, snuggling against his chest.
"I'm pooped!" she said, yawning.
"Join the club!" said Paige, sitting beside them
Phoebe looked up at Piper, who was standing near the wall hugging herself.
"What's wrong, Pipe? You're not still worrying about dying and leaving your baby?"
Piper sighed.
"No..but I discovered something.strange." She said
"What's that?" asked Paige.
"Well..On the way down from the attic, I got a splinter in my finger. But.. blue orbs surrounded it and.now the splinter is..gone. Almost as if Leo healed me."
Leo shook his head. "Not me. But.do you think little Ms. in there..."
"She couldn't have, could she?"
"It's..not common, but possible. she might have developed his healing abilities early."
"Uh! Like we didn't have enough to worry about. "
"Well, I think of this as a blessing. Now it's impossible for you to die until our daughter is born." He placed a hand on Piper's stomach. "And our baby won't get hurt."
Pipers' face brightened.
"Alright. I'm gonna get some sleep now." She said, climbing the stairs with Leo
Paige nodded. "Me too."
Phoebe cuddled closer to Cole and he wrapped an arm around her.
"Shimmer?" she asked, yawning.
Cole nodded and shimmered her up to her bed, where they cuddled and fell asleep.
Phoebe woke at 2 am. to the sound of Cole mumbling in his sleep.
"Melissa..."
She froze. Why the hell would Cole be whispering some other womans name in his sleep? Troubled and suspicous, she turned over and fell asleep.
Phoebe was awake, but she was afraid to open her eyes. She felt a pair of strong arms around her, but she was afraid that it wasn't Cole's. That he had left and went to the other woman-what was her name? Melissa.
"Hmp. I'm being silly." she mumbled, opening one eye and peeking out.
"hmm?" asked Cole as she snuggled closer.
"Nothing. Just a stupid thought. Cole...did it hurt? Did it hurt when
the source possessed you?"
He thought for a moment "Not physicaly. But it hurt to see him hurt you,
while I could do nothing to stop him."
Phoebe was silent for a while.
"When I told you-him-that I was pregnant, was it one of his acts?"
Cole shook his head. "No. I managed to get control for a short while. He
couldn't overcome my love for you just then."
A tear rolled down Phoebe's cheeks.
"I'm sorry that I lost our baby."
Cole sat up and held her.
"It's not your fault. And it wasn't ours." he said.
"Do you want to do it over? The whole marraige, I mean? Because even though we are legally married, I'm spiritually married to the source. I want to be married to you."
"Of course, if you're sure you want to."
"Course I want to silly, your so stupid sometimes." she said, playfully slapping
his shoulder.
The scent of eggs and bacon entered the room. Phoebe sat up and jumped off bed.
"Come on, I want to get some eggs before Leo eats them all." she said smiling.
