A/N: Thank you for the reviews. Ok, guys, I need to say that, at first, this is really a Cole/Piper story. And about them having children, you'll see what will happen next chapters.

I hope you'll enjoy this chapter.

Demons of the night

Piper woke up and looked at Cole who was sleeping peacefully by her side. She stared at him, wondering what to do, where last night would lead them. She knew she had feelings for him, feelings she was trying to deny... until last night. But now everything changed; she couldn't deny what her heart was saying. Not anymore. She didn't know how or when it happened, but she fell for him.

Cole finally opened his eyes : "Good morning...", he glanced at her.

"Good morning...", Piper said, caressing his face.

"Any regrets?", Cole asked seriously. He really wanted to know what last night meant to her, because to him it was a turning point. He thought that would be impossible, but he was feeling it again, that old headlong spiral that stole his breath and stopped his heart.

Piper cleared her throat: "No... Absolutely none", she said truthfully and kissed him with all of her heart.

"Me neither...", he whispered in her ears.

She placed her head over his chest and closed her eyes, allowing herself that little moment of happiness.

At the Underworld, Phoebe was worried. The news about the Vampire Queen were not promising. She managed to come back from the exile that the old Source imposed upon her. And now she was dangerously trying to coax some upper level demons to stand by her side.

"The Vampire Queen is back from the exile", Phoebe remarked. "I need to know if she is a real threat to me".

"You don't need to worry about her... You have all the power you need to control the Underworld", The Seer tried to calm her down.

"Maybe, but I need to be sure about that. She needs to accept my leadership. If that bitch tries to overthrow me, I will vanquish her!", Phoebe said angrily.

The Seer smiled. The old prophecy was fulfilled. The powerful force of good turned evil and ruled sovereign the Underworld. "As you wish, my queen!".

The Vampire Queen was in a cave, lying on some cushions while other vampires pampered her. Suddenly a demon appeared there:

"The Source has a message for you", the demon said.

"What does she want from me?", the Vampire Queen asked.

"She sent me to say that she was the only queen of the Underworld. If you question her leadership she will make you beg her to banish you again!", the demon said, raising his head.

"Your queen likes to go straight to the point, I see...", the Vampire Queen let out an evil smile.

"She hopes you stay away from her business and stop to steal her soldiers".

The Vampire Queen stood up and circled him: "I don't want to wage war with her and I won't question her leadership", she said seriously.

"I'll tell her that...", the demon said, before flamed out.

"The new Source is not very polity...", the queen remarked. "Anyway, I don't want to challenge her, at least not now... First, I want some good human blood...", she said licking her lips.

It was night in San Francisco. Paige had a date with a guy from her work and Prue was busy with one of her charges.

"Well, my date is waiting for me outside", Paige said with twinkle in her eye.

"Good luck!", Piper said to her sister, noticing how happy she was.

"Thank you", Paige said hugging her fondly. "He has a brother, you know...".

"Paige!", Piper rolled her eyes.

"It's ok... But I want you to be happy again", she said softly, caressing her face.

"I know, sweetie... And I appreciate it", Piper smiled at her.

Paige gasped: "I need to go. Take care of yourself", she said, before left.

"You know that one day we'll have to tell the truth to your sisters", Cole suddenly appeared behind her.

Piper took a deep breath. "Are you sure?", she asked, kissing his forehead, cheeks and lips.

"I'm sure... Before they find out the truth by themselves", he hugged her.

"I agree with you, but... Give me some time. Give us some time...", she said.

"I didn't say that because of me, they're not my sisters...", Cole told her.

"I know... But, right now, I want it to be just you and me", she said kissing him deeply. "I need to go to P3...", she said breaking the kiss.

"Seriously?", he asked, pulling her into his arms again.

"Seriously... But you can come with me".

Cole nodded and they went to P3 together.

As always the nightclub was full of people. "I'll just check a few things", she winked at him.

"Ok... I'll be right here", he said, leaning against the bar.

He saw Piper disappear in the middle of the crowd. The music was great and people were having fun on the dance floor.

He was just looking around when someone approached him: "Can I buy you a drink?", a woman asked grinning.

Cole looked surprised at her: "No, but thank you", he tried to be polite.

"Why not? Don't you drink?", she insisted.

Cole looked at her and noticed that there was something wrong in her eyes. His instincts told him to get away from her: "I don't want to drink now. But thank you", he replied stepping away from her.

The woman, the Vampire Queen, rolled her eyes. She really wanted to feed on his blood. Maybe she should look for another victim, but she smiled at herself when she saw Cole leaving P3, with a brunette. A couple, she thought. So sweet.

She went after them at the parking lot. "Hum, that's why you didn't accept my offer... Your heart's taken", she said approaching them.

The woman just smiled and suddenly two demons shimmered there: "Take them!", she ordered.

Piper blew one of the demons up. "She's a Charmed One!", the other demon shouted. "Crap!", the vampire yelled as she turned into a bat.

"She's a vampire!", Cole remarked.

"What?", Piper asked, as the Vampire Queen, turned into a woman again, reappeared just behind her.

"He said that I'm a vampire", she said, biting Piper's neck.

"Piper!", Cole screamed, as the demon grabbed him by the arm.

The Vampire Queen smiled with Piper unconscious in her arms. "Let's go!", she ordered to the demon and they flamed out with Piper and Cole.
