Kiss Kiss
(same as last scene. Piper, Leo, Paige, Prue, and Henry stare, jaws dropped. Coop looks as if he'd been hit over the head with a baseball bat.)
(When their lips make contact, Cole's eyes widen, look ready to pop out of their sockets. Fumbling, he grabs Phoebe's arms and attempts to push her away. Phoebe responds by wrapping an arm around his neck and pulling his head closer with her free hand, which also has Coop's ring on it. As she does this the ring starts to glow; Cole's eyes snap shut and he stops trying to break the kiss. Light shoots out from the gem of the ring, making a whirling circle around Phoebe and Cole, and a series of flashbacks begin)
(Phoebe's dream during "Womb Raider.")
Doctor: He's out. (He holds up the baby.) Would you like to see your new boy?
Nurse: He's beautiful.
Phoebe:(face alight with joy) He is beautiful!!!!
(Scene from Firstborn. Phoebe hands Warren to Cole, waves goodbye and walks through the portal. Cole looks down at the baby in his arms before they fade away)
(Scene from "Firstborn" The attic.)
Coop: Something's happening.
(Leo and Paige pull Piper to her feet, and then rush with Henry over to the circle. Phoebe starts to stir. Cole wakes with a start. He jumps to his feet.)
Cole: I need one favor. Don't tell Phoebe about me, my actually being here. Just let her think she worked everything out on her own.
Piper:(resigned) We aren't going to lie to Phoebe.
Coop: Agreed.
Piper: What?! You just said—
Coop: Cole has a better point.
(timelapse)
(Camera to Cole. He glows, and is transparent. Camera to Phoebe, who's talking to Piper and Cole on the attic floor.)
Phoebe: So you cast a spell…
Piper: Yeah. (Locks eyes briefly with disappearing Cole before addressing Phoebe) A vision quest.
(the Manor, the living room. Cole and Prue)
Cole: Where is my son's soul?
Prue: Limbo
Cole: Can I see him?
(time lapse)
Cole:(holding Warren's soul) I'm sorry.
Prue: I know.
Cole: I have to try. You going to turn me in?
Prue:(rueful smile) Better name him something other than Warren, and do a psychic cloak as soon as possible. (Serious) Phoebe can never know about this; it would be too much for her to handle.
(She disappears in a whisp of smoke.)
Cole: Well, son…let's go get reborn.
(Demonic wasteland. Cole kills a large demon and absorbs his powers.)
(An apartment. Cole holds up a rather scary, thick spellbook to ghostly Prue.)
Cole: Is this it?
Prue: That's the one. Page 12.
(Cole opens the book and reads a spell. Prue becomes corporeal)
Cole: How do you feel?
Prue: Dead. But solid.
Cole: Then we're in business.
Prue: You want to do the one to resurrect your mother now?
Cole:(shudders) Not until absolutely necessary. Next spell…to block an empath.
(Phoebe and Coop's bedroom at the condo. Phoebe and Coop are asleep; in her cradle across the room baby Melinda is awake, but she lays quietly kicking her legs and chewing on a blanket. Prue materializes next to her, and Melinda grins. Forcing a smile, Prue reaches into her pocket and pulls out a syringe)
Prue: This is for your bro…someone special, sweetheart. It'll only hurt a second.
(she jabs the syringe into Melinda's bare toe, drawing a miniscule amount of blood. Melinda's eyes open wide in surprise before she squeezes her eyes shut and lets out a howl. Prue mutters something and becomes transparent. Phoebe and Coop wake up and rush to the cradle. Phoebe rushes past ghostly Prue, oblivious, and picks up her daughter.
Phoebe: Melinda sweetie, what's the matter?
(Prue waves her hand and says something in a strange language. The wound on Melinda's toe instantly closes, and the droplets of blood that fell to her blanket disappear.)
(A park. Sara Dells, w/o the silver streak in her hair, walks dejectedly on down a path. She bumps into Cole)
Sara: Oh, sorry.
Cole: Not a problem. My name's Cole.
Sara: Hi. I'm Sara.
(An apartment. Cole and a corporeal Prue stand over a large cauldron, magical supplies strewn everywhere. They chant in a something from the spellbook that Prue holds. Cole carefully picks up a glass jar, like the one his father's soul was in, and opens it. Sparkling white orbs fly into the air, then down into the cauldron. An explosion sends Cole and Prue flying, but the cauldron stays in place on the table. The two adults scramble up and look into the cauldron.)
Cole: Did it…
Prue: Yes. It did. It worked. (she grabs another jar and carefully ladles something from the cauldron into it, and seals it tightly shut.) Quick. The next spell's three pages down.
(Cole hurriedly grabs the book and flips to the page before holding it out to Prue. They read the incantation together, and in a puff of red smoke the jar in Prue's hands transforms into a Petri dish, which she gives to Cole.)
Prue: Okay. Get it to the freezer in the clinic, quickly. There isn't much time.
(Cole shimmers out)
(Sara and Dr. Smith, in the examination room)
Dr. Smith: It's positive.
(the park where Sara and Cole first met. Cole paces back and forth, Sara walks up to him)
Cole: Well?
Sara: Wanna take me to get my prenatal vitamins?
(Cole smiles widely, laughs and picks Sara up and spins her around)
(A small house, the kitchen. Sara is standing by the table, sobbing into the phone.)
Sara: And…and Tom c-called and he s-said t-th-that he f-f-f-flied the p-p-p-paper t-t-today and—(her hair spontaneously goes up in flames. She screams and falls to the floor in a dead faint.)
(a Hospital room. Sara lies in the bed, pale and nervous, the streak of sliver now present in her hair. Cole stands next to her, and Dr. Smith faces them)
Dr. Smith: I'm truly sorry, but this is not a good situation.
Sara: What do you mean, Katie?
Dr. Smith: You have two options if you don't want to die, Sara. Bed rest—and I mean complete and total bed rest—for the next seven months. Strict diet, constant care and attention…the works. And that's even risky. I don't recommend it.
Sara: What's the other one?
Dr. Smith: Terminate the pregnancy. (Sara gasps) I don't like it either Sara, and I know your feelings on the subject of abortion, but it's your best chance—
Cole: No.
Sara:(hugs her still-flat stomach) I can't Katie.
Cole: And you won't. You don't have to.
Dr. Smith: Mr. Turner, be reasonable. You have to understand—
Cole: No. You have to understand. This is my child. I will do whatever it takes to make sure he makes it. That he and Sara make it.
Dr. Smith: But—
Cole: No buts. (he draws himself up to his full height) Are you going help us, or are we going to have to find a different doctor?
Dr. Smith:(angry) Don't you dare. (to Sara) If you're going to go through with this, there's not a chance in hell I'm leaving you to the care of someone else.
(A delivery room. Thomas is by Sara's side, holding her hand as she labors. Cole stands on her other side, petrified.)
Cole: Come on Sara—
Thomas:(kisses Sara's hand) You're doing great. You can do it honey.
Dr. Smith: I need a nurse to be ready with the blanket. All right Sara. He's almost here, just give me one more push…
(Sara screams. A moment of silence, then a baby's cry fills the air.)
Dr. Smith: And it's a healthy boy!
(she lifts Warren up in the air for everyone to see. Cole freezes. Sara breathes a sigh of relief, and Thomas kisses her. A nurse in blue scrubs and a mask hurries forward with a blanket and wraps him up. She briefly shows him to Sara, who coos and brushes his cheek with her forefinger when Thomas speaks up)
Thomas: Marry me again?
Sara:(all attention on Thomas.) Yes. Yes. Yes!
(the nurse takes the baby to Cole, who's still frozen in place. Camera to her masked face; it's Prue)
Prue: Well? Would you like to hold your son?
(Wordlessly Cole holds out his arms, and Prue carefully transfers the infant to his father. Cole stares at him in wonder. Prue nudges him, and whispers.)
Prue: Give him his name. We need to do the spell now.
Cole:(whisper) Warren…Philip Warren Turner…
(Prue quietly recites an incantation. The lights in the delivery room flicker)
Dr. Smith: Someone get in here and fix the bulbs.
Cole:(scarcely audible) He looks just like he did in her visions…just like the visions…my eyes, her nose…
Prue: He's beautiful.
Cole: (face alight with joy) He is beautiful.
(Flashback over. The swirling light around Phoebe and Cole vanishes back into the gem of the ring. Phoebe and Cole's lips gently break apart, Phoebe's hand still in his hair with her arm around his neck, his hands still gripping her arms. Prue, Paige, Piper, Leo, and Henry don't move a muscle. Coop looks a bit blue in the face from lack of oxygen. Camera back to Phoebe and Cole, who opens his eyes first, stunned. Phoebe slowly opens hers, and the two stare at each other)
Okay yes so this is a cliffie too, but not as bad as the last scene would have been. Right? Let me know! Thanks for reading:-)
