*Piper's Dream*

Piper was walking down a hallway towards a door. The door suddenly opened and Cole walked inside. A small boy and girl ran up to him and jumped into his arms.

"Hey sport! Hey pumpkin!" Cole greeted the kids. He put them down and looked up to see Piper. He didn't say anything, but walked up to her and kissed her.

"Eeew!" said the boy.

Piper pulled away laughing. Cole seemed disappointed that the kiss was cut short.

Soon enough, they were sitting down to dinner. Afterwards, they were putting the boy and girl to bed.

"Good night Benjamin. Good night Melinda." Piper said closing their bedroom doors.

"Night Mom!"

"Good night Mommy!"

Piper walked towards her room. Cole was already in boxers and waiting for her on the bed. Piper closed the door behind her. She walked towards her dresser and pulled put a pair of pajamas.

"So how was your trip?" Piper asked.

"Boring."

"Why?"

"Because you weren't there!" Cole said grabbing Piper's hand. He pulled her towards the bed and they started kissing. Passionately at first. They had their clothes off in the next minute. Cole gradually moved on top of Piper.

All of a sudden the phone rang.

"Damn!" Cole said rolling off of Piper.

Piper laughed and reached towards the phone. "Hello?"

"Hey Piper. It's me Paige. I just wanted to know if you wanted to go out tomorrow with me and Prue. You know, some sisterly bonding."

"Gee, I don't know Paige. Cole came home tonight and well we're..."

"Are you...? Forget it. I don't want to know. I'll just call you tomorrow."

"Ok." Before Paige hung up, Piper heard another voice from Paige's side. It was Prue.

"Well can she?" Prue was asking Paige.

Piper didn't hear Paige's response because Paige had already hung up. Piper put the phone down. The next thing she knew Cole was on top of her again. Piper was getting tingles from Cole's touch.

Before she knew it, she said, "Oh... Cole... I love you sooo much."

*End*

Piper woke with start. She was confused. She had just said I love you to Cole. Piper pulled herself out of Cole's embrace. She stood up, trying not to wake Cole. What was she thinking?

She was married and in love with Leo. Well, Leo certainly didn't think about his love for Piper while he was having an affair with Phoebe. But that wasn't fair to Cole. He didn't deserve to be a rebound guy. Piper looked over at Cole. He was moaning and mumbling something. Piper started to laugh when a sudden movement caught her eye.

"Phoebe?"

"Piper?"

"What are you doing here?"

"I could ask you the same thing."

Cole jumped up, wide-awake.

"I really don't think this is a good...idea... Phoebe?" Paige came in saying. "Piper, what are you doing here?"

"I bet Cole has her under a spell or something," Phoebe said.

Cole was about to protest when Piper said, "He doesn't have me under any spell. I'm just here to talk to him."

"Yeah. Sure. Whatever." Phoebe said.

"Phoebe! Look Piper, I know that you and Leo had a fight, but you've got to know that Phoebe and I are here for you. There's no need for you to go to Cole," Paige was saying, but Piper cut her off.

"Paige, I know you're here for me, but I'm not so sure about Phoebe."

Phoebe's eyes widened in surprise.

"Piper, how can you say that? You're her sister. She'd never hurt you in any way," Paige said pleadingly.

"Well, Paige, I'm sorry to say that she certainly hurt me when she slept with Leo," Piper said showing no emotion and just in time for Leo to come in and hear.

"Piper?" Both Leo and Phoebe said at the same time. "How did you know?" Phoebe asked.

"It doesn't take a genius to figure out. Thanks to my baby, I've found out what a wonderful father Leo is," Piper answered, her words dripping with sarcasm.

"You had a premonition about us?" Leo asked.

"Wait! This is true. You and Phoebe were having an affair?" Paige turned to Leo. Tears were coming to her eyes. Her voice came out hoarse as she said, "How could you guys? What were you thinking? All those times I had doubts, but I never thought they would be true. Phoebe, I thought you were better than that. Leo, you're married and about to have a child. How could you guys? I thought we were the perfect family. An angel for a brother-in-law, two wonderful sisters... Phoebe, you sure did a great job as a big sister." Paige turned and ran out. Phoebe turned to follow her, but Paige had already orbed away.

"She's got a point, Leo. I thought you loved me," Piper said.

"I do...it's just that you're pregnant and I have needs... I'm so sorry Piper," Leo said.

"You have a great way of showing your love, Leo. There are tons of other men who celebrate joyously when their wife is pregnant. They hardly leave their wife's side. And Leo, you have needs? You have needs so that you can jump into bed with the next woman you can find who happened to be my sister? What about my needs? Everytime you orb away, I'm disappointed, but you don't see me cheating on you," Piper said disgustedly.

Leo was about to say something, when Phoebe cut him off. "Leo, all this time, you just wanted to sleep me. You didn't even care about me?" Leo hung his head down.

Phoebe turned to Piper. "Piper, I'm so sorry. I didn't know."

Piper shook her head at Phoebe. "Phoebe, you should have thought about this before you started seeing Leo. I don't want your apologies. Just leave, please."

Phoebe turned and left in tears. Leo looked at Piper and took a deep breath and then said, "Piper, it's understandable that you're mad at me, but there's no reason for you to go to Cole—

Piper blew him up. Leo's orbs reformed and he angrily orbed away.

Piper sunk to the ground. Tears streamed down her face. What had her family become? She placed her hand on the noticeable bump on her stomach and before she knew it she was thrown into a premonition.

*Premonition*

Phoebe was in what seemed like a market. She was buying a knife with strange markings on it. After she purchased it, she turned and thrusted the knife into a nearby person. The person was a demon. Something glowed as it left the demon's body, entered the knife, and then entered Phoebe. Flames consumed the demon. Phoebe then turned to the demon beside the one she just stabbed. She threw an energy ball at him and then shimmered away.

*End of Premonition*

Piper gasped. That was how Phoebe was going to get demonic powers. Piper started crying harder. What in this world drove Phoebe to get demonic powers? Piper had to stop Phoebe. What had happened to her family?

Back at the manor, something was happening to the Book of Shadows. The triquetra on the book split into three different pieces. A young, dark-haried woman witnessed this and gasped. She disappeared quickly in twinkles.
