Again sorry to all those Prue and Cole readers but there is quite a plot here and bringing Cole back into the picture would just ruin it COMPLETELY so you'll just have to live with it. And thank-you to lizardmomma and ana2000marie for your wonderful reviews!

Chp. 16

A couple weeks later Prue bolted up the stairs to catch the phone which was ringing off the hook. Prue answered it.

"Hello?" Prue asked into the phone.

"Hey, Prue?" a voice asked. Prue smiled noticing the familiar voice.

"Hey Jack, how have you been?"

"Ah you know same old same old. How about you?"

"Ah about the same and extremely tired, my son caught a cold so I've been up all night for the past week both dealing with him and worrying insanely that it didn't get any worse. He's not even 3 months yet so it's not something I'm about to take lightly."

"Yeah I remember when Riley caught a cold like that. Monica was worrying insanely. How is he now?"

"Better, still got the sniffles a little, but better."

"That's good. So listen actually I was wondering if you would have anytime in that insanely busy schedule I imagine you have, for a friendly cup of coffee with yours truly."

"Hmmm let me think," Prue said pausing playfully for a moment, "I think I might just have an hour or two to spend with the famous Jack Sheridan." Jack smiled on the other line.

"Great well how about you meet me at that Starbucks near Buckland's, hopefully you haven't forgotten yet." Prue smiled. They used to always spend their break at that Starbucks talking about completely pointless things. Times with Jack seemed to give her nothing but happy feelings inside.

"That sounds great. How about 10 tomorrow?"

"Sure see you then," Jack said clicking off. Prue smiled as she too clicked off. Prue quickly glanced at the clock then rushed out the door to go pick up Peyton from her ballet class. Prue decided to go pick up Cole first so she wouldn't have to go back to the manor. Prue walked into the manor and instantly went to her son who was giggling excitedly. She loved how clingy Cole was because his sister wasn't nearly as bad as him so she never really got to be so needed as she was with Cole. Prue picked up Cole and went to get his things together when Piper walked down the stairs.

"Are you trying to scare the shit out of me?" Piper snapped at her sister. Prue just rolled her eyes at her.

"Actually I was just trying to get his things together so we could leave quick because if you haven't noticed the time, it's time for me to pick up my daughter from ballet," Prue replied just as cockily.

"Right."

"Mhmm, listen I need a favour," Prue said.

"Let me guess, you need me to take the kids for you."

"Yeah but amazingly it's for an entirely different thing."

"Spill it."

"Well Jack kinda called this afternoon, actually about half an hour ago, and he asked me to coffee and I kinda wanted to go." Piper began to smile. She had been so excited for her sister when she had told her about her little scenario with Jack. She wanted her sister to get back out there again after all she had gone through, she deserved to have a man in her life besides her son.

"Prue that's awesome I'll definitely watch them. I was gonna take this kids to the park anyways so it's no problem at all."

"Thanks Pipes I really gotta go though, or Peyton will kill me!" Prue said grabbing baby Cole's carrier, with him in it of course, and running out the door to her car.
