The rays of the sun is shielded by the dark gray curtains, the sheets making a rustling sound as she moves her legs that is tossed over Cole's. Her eyes flutter open and she raises her head off his chest a little to see him still asleep, she smiles and reaches up running the back of her palm against his chin feeling a little hard stubble. A smile forms on her face as his lips twitch and she feels him move under her hand.
"Good morning" he says with his eyes still close.
"I didn't mean to wake you" she says.
"I'm glad you did now I can spend more time with my beautiful wife" Cole says opening his eyes leaning up to kiss her.
Eliza hand comes up in between them and he looks at her confused.
"What's wrong" he asks?
"I have morning breath" she says back.
"I don't care" he says moving her hand down.
"You would kiss me with my breath smelling like this" she asks?
"Yes because I love you" he says.
Eliza smiles and leans in pressing her lips against his while hooking her arms around his neck. Cole arms circle around her back lifting her up and on his lap as the kiss deepens, she suddenly pulls away looking at him.
"Last night was good right" she asks?
"Yes why are you asking" he asks sitting up against the headboard.
"I just didn't want to let you down or not live up to Phoebe" she says.
Cole sighs and looks at her placing his hands on her hips.
"Is that what this is all about? You're afraid that you can't compete with Phoebe" he asks?
"You guys have years behind your relationship and we only have months" Eliza says.
"Listen to me you have nothing to worry about. Phoebe and I time has passed. You are the only person who has my heart. I just wish I can take all of those doubts out of your head" he says.
"You can" she whispers.
"How" he asks?
"Make love to me again" she says.
"That's not a good idea" he says.
"Why not" she asks?
"Last night was your very first time and you need to heal" he says.
"I am healed" she says.
"Alright then you won't mind walking over to the bathroom door for me" he says.
"Whatever makes you happy Cole" she says and climbs off of him.
Soon as she sets her feet down and starts walking a pain shoots up her thighs and she falls down whimpering. Cole walks over and scoops her up in his arms trying not to laugh.
"It hurts" she says.
"I told you so" he says placing her back on the bed.
"Don't be so mean" she says hitting his chest.
Cole places a hand on either side of her waist leaning in so their foreheads touch, Eliza smiles and grips the back of his hair slightly tugging it. Cole hisses in slight pain but his eyes darken with lust as she bites her lip.
"How about we take a nice hot bubble bath and then I cook a extraordinary breakfast for us" Cole says.
"Mhm that sounds amazing" she says.
"Glad you think so. I am going to go run the water" he says pecking her lips before heading to the door across the room.
Eliza looks at Cole retreating back side and smiles before twirling her ring on her finger, she wishes her cousins and uncle would have been at her wedding. She didn't want to choose between her husband and her cousins who are well were like her sisters.

Piper is cleaning up Eliza's old bedroom with Paige when she spots an wrapped present sitting on the top shelf of the along with an envelope. She picks it down and sits on the bed as she opens the envelope taking out a letter.
Dear Piper, I know you will be the one to find this. If I didn't give it to you then it means I no longer live at the manor. I have been holding on to this burden of seeing Cole behind you guys backs and it is tearing me apart inside. Cole wanted me to tell you guys but I was scared of how you would react. He isn't a bad guy like he used to be and everything you made to believe about him was false. The seer set him up so you can kill the Source and it Cole will be possessed by him. All he wanted was for you guys to trust him, after all he proved that. I will not condone his violence and attacks against you guys and he knows that. I just wanted you guys to know the truth and why his hatred towards you grew overtime. You guys helped kill his son and I understand the baby was evil and you had no choice but he felt like you did. I just want to say that I am sorry and I will always love you. Also I didn't know what to get the baby but I hope this gift makes you happy.
Piper sets the letter down and opens the gift, she opens the brown box pulling out a yellow blanket with the Triquetra symbol on it and sewn underneath it says Charmed. She smiles a bit and sets the blanket down before pulling out an matching rattle with an incantation on it, Piper sees it's a protection and power spell combined. Paige walks in the room to see Piper sitting down.
"What's all this" she asks?
"Eliza's gift to Wyatt and she left me this letter" Piper says holding the rattle as she reads the incantation and the rattle glows gold as does the symbol on the blanket.
Paige reads the letter and looks confused as what this all means.
"The rattle is a magical wand to help Wyatt control his powers and the blanket is a shield in it's own way. As long as you touch the blanket you have a shield sort of like Wyatt's" Piper says sadly.
"It doesn't change anything" Paige says.
"Doesn't it" Piper asks?
"She betrayed us and married our worst enemy possible. She doesn't deserve to be sympathized and you need to know that and accept it" Paige says before dropping the letter and stalking off.

Eliza is sitting in the tub in between Cole's legs both of them covered in bubbles as his runs his hands along her arms and kisses her neck.
"You know Cole. I was thinking when I get back home. I find a job so I can help support us" she says.
"I like taking care of you" he says.
"I know you do Cole but I have to learn how to be independent. I been leaning on you and my cousins for months now" she says.
"If that's what you want" he says.
"It is" she says.
"Alright than I won't stand in your way" he says.
Eliza smiles and leans her head back on his shoulder looking up at him, Cole leans over kissing her softly as his arm circles around her waist holding her closer against him. She moans against the kiss and turns so her body is sideways against his legs gripping his cheek in her wet hand. Cole groans as the kiss deepens when his phone rings.
"Ignore it" he says as he positions her over his lap.
The phone keeps ringing irritating him and he breaks away holding his hand out and the phone flies into his hand. He looks at it to see it's Darryl and he rolls his eyes.
"Answer it" Eliza says kissing his neck.
"No he can wait" Cole says setting the phone on the stand before crashing his lips on hers again.
