Title: Dreams
Summary: Two people fall in love with each other through their dreams, can they overcome their problems in real life & be together?
Warnings: All mistakes are my own. I don't own anything.
Note: During Season 5 when Cole hasn't been vanquished and Piper is pregnant.
"Wow! Power of Three all over again!" Paige exclaimed trying to cheer everyone up.
Prue smiled, but Piper just nodded.
"We're going to have to work fast because Phoebe could attack us at any minute," Prue said. "Piper, you and Cole work on a vanquishing spell. One that requires the Power of Three. Paige and I will try to find a summoning spell."
"You want to try 'The Lost Sister Spell," Paige asked Prue.
"Exactly what I was thinking. We better try to find it fast, or write up a quickie."
Meanwhile, Cole and Piper were slow to make up any progress.
"Piper, come on. You can do it," Cole said.
"I just wish everything was so different," Pipe said, sitting down. She couldn't think of anything that would be considered a spell.
"Piper, I know this is hard, but you can beat this. You always do. Just keep thinking about Benjamin and Melinda," Cole said. He didn't mean for the last line to come out. He was thinking about those beautiful children from his dreams and his longing to have them.
Piper was surprised. "You know about them? Are we having the same dreams?"
"If you're last dream involved us about to have sex, then yes."
Piper looked at Cole, her eyes wide.
"Sorry. I didn't mean for that to come out," Cole said embarrassingly.
"No. No. Don't be. I was just surprised that my last dream was exactly that." Piper averted her eyes away from Cole.
There was a minute of silence before Cole let the next few words out, without thinking.
"Piper, I want you to know that no matter what happens, I'll love you through it."
Piper didn't know what to say. She was speechless. She wanted to say 'I love you, too,' but that would be a lie. She wasn't sure of her own feelings and she wanted to be sure before she made any commitments.
"We can be together, Piper," Cole said.
"How do you know?" Piper asked.
"Piper, do you love Leo? Do you want to spend the rest of your life living with him, when you know what he's done? He's going to become an Elder. I'm not saying that just because he's going up there that you should be with me, I saying don't you want the chance to have Benjamin and Melinda?" Cole asked.
"But I'm not carrying a Benjamin or Melinda. I'm carrying Leo's child," Piper said tears slipping from her eyes.
"I'm not saying you should treat Leo's child any differently."
"Then what are you saying?" Piper asked.
"I'm asking you where does your heart belong? Piper, I know you may be confused right now, but I know that you love me. I can see it through your eyes. I love you Piper, I know it. We've both been through a lot, but all I can say it that I've never had such a blissful feeling that can only be described as love, until now. I feel it now, especially with what's happening now, I feel my love for you deepening. I know you may think that this is all rushed. That love takes a lifetime, but know this: love can also catch you by surprise in mere moments for the person you least expect." Cole said straight from his heart.
Piper didn't know what to say. She wasn't sure where her heart lay. "I think I've got the spell." Piper tried to hide what she was really feeling. She turned away from Cole's eyes, not wanting to see the look of hurt. Piper quickly wrote the spell down.
"Are you guys ready?" Prue asked from across the room. She knew what Piper and Cole were talking about. She half wanted to tell Piper to tell Cole that she loved him, but Piper would tell Cole in her own time.
"We've just finished writing the spell down," Paige said noticing some tension between Cole and Piper.
"Are you guys ready?" Cole asked.
"Ready as I'll ever be," Paige answered.
"Yeah," came a reluctant answer from Prue.
"What do you expect when you're about to vanquish you're sister?" Piper asked. When nobody answered she went on, "Yeah, I guess I'm ready."
Piper stood in the middle, with Paige and Prue on either side of her. Cole came from behind her. He put his hand on Piper's shoulder in a comforting guesture and then moved a bit away from Paige's side.
Piper, Prue, and Paige started reciting 'The Lost Sister Spell,' but before they were even half way through, Phoebe appeared.
"I knew you guys would summon me sometime," she said. "Prue? Well, this is a surprise. Don't I get a hug?" Phoebe walked toward Prue.
"I'm sorry, Pheebs, but you've lost that right," Prue said.
"But I'm still your sister. A sister who's grieved deeply for your passing. Prue, I've missed you. Is this how sisters greet each other?" Phoebe asked.
"No sister of mine would wreck such havoc!" Prue answered throwing Phoebe towards the wall. "Come on! Let's start the damn spell!"
Paige started saying the spell with Piper and Prue joining behind her.
I call upon the ancient Power,
To hear me at this hour.
Please set my sister free.
I call upon the Power of Three,
To hear me now and let my sister be.
Vanquish this evil from time and space,
And let the Power of Three, set her free-
"PIPER, NO!" Phoebe yelled in a babyish voice. "I'm so sorry. I never meant for you to get hurt. Please don't vanquish me! I'm your sister!"
Piper faltered, but Prue whispered in her ear, "Keep going, sweetie."
Phoebe stopped. For a second she couldn't move. Piper, Prue, and Paige started saying the spell one more time, when Phoebe took out the knife and hurled it at Piper. Piper's force field came up, but the knife just absorbed it.
"MY BABY!" Piper screamed.
"WHAT DO WE DO?" Paige screeched at Prue.
"I DON"T KNOW!" Prue shrieked back.
"REMOVE THE KNIFE!" Cole yelled as he lunged forward.
He grabbed the knife and tossed it to the side of the room, where Leo orbed in seconds later.
"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE?" Leo shouted.
"Shut up you bastard," Phoebe shrieked. She waved her hand, which caused Leo to be knocked backward. Phoebe then telekineticly moved the knife back to Piper, who was again thrown into great pain.
"I thought you said she was unstable," Paige said to Prue as she was reaching for the knife, but Phoebe didn't let her.
Phoebe held up both her hands as if she was choking Paige and Prue. Meanwhile, Prue and Paige were in mid-air choking.
"Thanks to a few magical creatures, I've got their power of healing, which has helped me obtain many powers," Phoebe laughed. "Ahh... What's the use? One of you is already dead!" Phoebe flung Prue and Paige backward.
"Phoebe! How could you to do this to your own sister?" Prue screamed as she was flung backward.
"No sister of mine would turn her back on me," Phoebe said, but Prue and Paige were already knocked out.
Cole ran towards Piper, but Phoebe flung him backward with a fireball. Leo orbed to Piper and removed the knife.
"Thanks," said Piper weakly, but Leo was flung backward by Phoebe. He still, however, had the knife in his hand.
Phoebe seemed not to notice. "DID YOU THINK I DIDN"T KNOW?"
Leo was about to orb away, but Phoebe seemed to grasp at something in the air, which made it impossible for Leo to orb away.
Phoebe had two large energy balls forming in her hands. She seemed to be ignoring everyone else, but Leo, whom she was backing up into a corner. "You can't orb away from me that easily. I knew you were an Elder before you told anyone. In fact, you've been an Elder for quite a while now, haven't you? Using magic on me to make me sleep with you, haven't you?"
"Wh...What?" Leo stuttered.
"I'm not as stupid as you think I am," Phoebe said to Leo. She was unaware of Cole and Paige slowly getting up. They looked at each other and nodded.
"NOW!" Cole yelled, forming an energy ball in his hand.
"ENERGY BALL!" Paige shouted.
"What..." Phoebe turned around. She didn't finish what she was saying because two energy balls hit her. Her other energy all dissipated. Phoebe flew backward onto Leo, who was still holding the knife. Leo didn't know what happened, but the next second he saw that Phoebe had been stabbed.
"NO! NOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Phoebe wailed. Blood was pouring from her abdomen. She was gasping and breathing slowly.
"LET GO OF THE KNIFE!" Cole yelled at Leo.
Leo did and he saw Phoebe glowing in a strange dark color. She would stop glowing, the knife would glow, and then she would start glowing all over again. Finally, she started glowing white, when Cole pulled out the knife and shimmered away.
"Where'd he go?" Leo asked.
But Piper and Prue slowly got up and ran towards him, with Paige.
"What are you waiting for, dammit? HEAL HER!" they all shouted at Leo.
Leo didn't need to be told twice and started healing Phoebe.
Cole reappeared seconds later.
"Where did you go?" Paige greeted him.
"Where's the damn knife?" Prue asked.
"Let's just say, the next time Mt. Helena erupts, you'll see it, if it hadn't already been melted by then," Cole said. He looked at Piper, who gave him a faint smile.
"What's taking so long?" Piper asked Leo.
"I don't know! It's like she doesn't want to be healed!" Leo snapped at Piper.
"WHOOO!" Prue screeched. She was disappearing.
"NO! WAIT! PRUE!" Piper leaped forward with Paige to grab Prue's hands, but she had already disappeared.
