Forbidden-Piper/Cole Fic

[mcharmed21]

Forbidden 12


Piper’s sisters embraced her as Cole stepped back.

“Thank gods you are okay” said Phoebe. “We read on that demon”<br>
“I’m okay” said Piper glancing at Cole.

Phoebe cleared her throat. “Well thank you Cole for saving our sister”<br>
Paige crossed her arms and nodded.

“Well as I’m not welcomed here I’ll be leaving” said Cole shimmered away.

Piper glanced down then smiled. “Where’s Leo?”<br>
“He went to check with The Elders about the demons” answered Paige.

At that moment Leo orbed in. Piper ran up and hugged him.

“Piper” said Leo embracing her. “You’re okay”<br>
Piper nodded. “How about I run you a bath?”<br>
“That would be nice” said Piper.

“Just the two of us” said Leo lifting up her chin.

“It’s been kinda rough” said Piper. “I would just like to take one by myself if you don’t mind”<br>
“Sure whatever” said Leo shrugging as the two sisters went into the living room.

He started to walk to the kitchen. “I’ll run it myself” said Piper walking upstairs.

***A half hour later***

Piper leaned back into the tub. She closed her eyes and dipped her head in to wet her hair in and came back up. She wanted to rid herself of that demon smell. Too bad she had to also distinguish Cole’s also but it would always be in her mind. Everytime she thought of him she could smell him as if he was holding her.

***Next Night***

Piper was listening to Coldplay at P3. It was a big sellout and the club was packed. The song had an impact to what she was feeling and she felt a strong presence in the room.

warning sign,
I missed the good part, then I realised,
I started looking and the bubble burst,
I started looking for excuses,
Come on in,
I've gotta tell you what a state I'm in,
I've gotta tell you in my loudest tones,
That I started looking for a warning sign

“Cole” whispered Piper. She looked around but couldn’t find him. She went out from behind the bar and walked around.


When the truth is, I miss you,
Yeah the truth is, that I miss you so

A warning sign,
It came back to haunt me, and I realised,
That you were an island and I passed you by,
And you were an island to discover

Come on in,
I've gotta tell you what a state I'm in,
I've gotta tell you in my loudest tones,
That I started looking for a warning sign

She stopped when she saw him coming down the stairs. He looked so handsome in his navy blue suit. He spotted her in the middle of the dance floor. He slowly walked up to her.

“You came” said Piper.

Cole nodded.

“How are you?” asked Cole.

“I’m great” said Piper. “You?”<br>
“I might be taking a job offer in New York” said Cole.

When the truth is, I miss you,
Yeah the truth is, that I miss you so
“What?” said Piper.

“Maybe it’s time for me to move on from San Francisco” said Cole. “Start a new life”<br>
“Yeah I guess” said Piper looking down.

Cole pulled her chin up. “Hey we’ll keep in touch”<br>
And I'm tired, I should not have let you go,
Oooooooo,

[mcharmed21]

“Don’t go” said Piper. “Stay for me, stay with me”<br>
Cole opened his mouth but Piper put her fingers on his lips.

“I don’t care what anyone says or thinks” said Piper. “I want to be with you I want to love you freely and I want you to love me”<br>
Cole smiled and kissed her passionately and then they danced.

So I crawl back into your open arms,
Yes I crawl back into your open arms,
And I crawl back into your open arms,
Yes I crawl back into your open arms.


***Next day***

Piper was pacing in her bathrobe her hair was still wet. She needed to talk to Leo but he didn’t come home last night. She paced in her bedroom she had signed the Breaking of Handfasting paper.

She gasped when Leo orbed in totally intoxicated.

“Leo” gasped Piper.

“Well Piper I saw you last night” said Leo walking towards her.

“Leo” said Piper. “I’m sorry but I can’t keep up this cherade”<br>
“So you’re going to leave me!” cried Leo snatching the divorce paper. He threw it on the floor and Piper never thought she could be scared of him.

His cold eyes bore into hers and she wanted to go.

“I’m sorry Leo” said Piper.

Leo grabbed her arms. “I won’t let you leave me!”<br>
“Leo let go” said Piper struggling against his strong grasp she couldn’t seem to get her powers to work.

He forcefully kissed her and pushed her down on the bed holding her wrists down with one hand. Piper kept kicking but she couldn’t reach far enough to kick Leo off of her. He moved his hand into her robe and was holding her thigh while kissing her neck.

“Leo, no!” screamed Piper nearly in tears. She couldn’t understand why Leo was doing this. Finally she bent her knee and kicked him in the groin. Leo groaned and rolled off of her. Piper made a beeline for the door but Leo grabbed her and threw her on the floor. She crashed into the vanity and various things fell.

“Piper” said Leo softly. “I don’t know why I did that. I’m so sorry”<br>
Piper was crying on the floor. Cole shimmered in and saw the scene. Leo turned around and weakly swung at Cole. Cole had enough and punched Leo over the bed.

Leo quickly glanced at Piper and he threw memory dust on her.

Phoebe and Paige busted through the door.

“What the hell is going on here?” cried Paige.

Phoebe gasped when she saw Piper on the floor disheveled and in tears. She ran to Piper.

“It was Turner” said Leo getting up. “He tried to rape her”<br>

[mcharmed21]

“Me!” screamed Cole. “I would never”<br>
“He was angry cause Piper chose me” said Leo. “Then he attacked me”<br>
“It was Leo” protested Cole.

“You evil S.O.B” growled Paige.

Cole turned towards her and she punched him with so much anger that he toppled over on the floor. Paige took Phoebe’s place as Phoebe got up to stand over Cole and she kicked him in the ribs.

“You better run and hide” she said coldly while staring into her eyes. “Because I will vanquish you”<br>
“Piper” said Cole as he attempted to get up. “Tell them”

Phoebe kicked him in the face.

“He used memory dust on her!” screamed Cole. “I would never hurt her”<br>
“Get out now” said Leo walking over. Cole glared at him. “This isn’t finished you bastard”<br>

[mcharmed21]

Leo held Piper in the bed as she cried. She had put on some sweats and it was nighttime.

“Shh baby” comforted Leo. “We’ll vanquish him”<br>
“I don’t feel like he did it” said Piper snuggling closer to Leo.

“He did” said Leo. “I caught him in the act”<br>
“It’s funny that I don’t remember” said Piper her eyebrows furrowing.

“Phoebe said that it was probably traumatic and you had some memory loss” explained Leo.

Piper nodded. Leo was starting to feel guilty. He didn’t know why he had acted like that. Maybe it was the alcohol. Leo sighed.

“Leo what’s wrong?” asked Piper looking up at him.

“Nothing” said Leo. “Let’s go to sleep”<br>

***Next Morning- Penthouse***

He had to make them see. He had to make them see that he was innocent and that whitelighter was lying. Why wasn’t he facing any consequences from the memory dust? Maybe the Elders didn’t care because they hated him. Cole shook his head and paced the Penthouse as he was on high alert. He knew Phoebe was going to try and vanquish him.

How did everything get so out of control? He made the mistake of pursuing his emotions and now everyone was out for his blood. He was clutching an athame. Maybe he should just end it or let Phoebe vanquish him.

“Go away” said Cole not turning around from the bed.

He sensed someone behind him. Someone, who he loved a long time ago, but didn’t want to see.

“Cole” said the man. He stood 6’2 with black hair and bright blue eyes. He looked about 40 with streaks of gray and he wore glasses.

“I said leave” said Cole.


Benjamin Turner walked around to his son’s side and looked at him. He gently took the athame away and melted it.

“You shouldn’t be here” said Cole.

“You freed me” said Benjamin. “I just wanted to see you”<br>
“You’re welcome” said Cole glaring at him.

“I can see you’re in great pain” said Benjamin.

“Well I don’t know” said Cole. “The person I love was attacked by her husband and I’m getting the blame”<br>
“Piper Halliwell” said Benjamin.

“Yeah Piper” said Cole turning back to the window.

“I’m sorry I didn’t come sooner” said Benjamin.

Cole got up and brushed past Benjamin. He went into the living room. Benjamin orbed in front of him.

“So what are you?” asked Cole. “A whitelighter?”<br>
“No” said Benjamin. “I guide lost souls”<br>
“We’ll I’m not a lost soul” said Cole. “So you can go”<br>
“I’m not going to leave you” said Benjamin.

“You did before!” cried Cole. “Never came back!”<br>
Benjamin was taken aback and Cole turned away.

“I’ll always be with you son” said Benjamin. “And I will be back”<br>
Cole nodded and sensed his father leaving. Why couldn’t he let his father in? To finally see him was so perfect he needed him, but his father would just leave again. He was in heaven and Cole would go to hell they were two different beings and not meant to be together. Like him and Piper.

***Next Day***

Piper was home alone cleaning around the house. She took a couple of asprin cause she was having cramps, but her period wasn’t due for another two weeks. She missed it the last couple of months but she had been taking birth control pills.

She didn’t feel right. Her head hurt and she felt really hot. The room was titling. Piper dropped the broom and walked to the phone. She slowly dialed Phoebe’s cell phone number.

***Bay Mirror***

Phoebe was passionately kissing Jason by the door. She pulled away when she heard her cell phone ring.

“Forget it” said Jason.

“No” said Phoebe. “I’ll be right back”<br>
She smiled as she picked up her cell phone and answered it.

“Hello” she answered. She heard harsh breathing on the other end. “Hello”<br>
“Phoebe” gasped Piper. “I’m not feeling well something is wrong”<br>
“Ok Piper what’s wrong sweetie?” asked Phoebe urgently.

“Cramps and everything is spinning” sobbed Piper. “It hurts”<br>
“Piper” said Phoebe. “I’m on my way, did you call Leo” Phoebe listened for her sister. “Piper”<br>
She heard a sharp gasp and a thud. Then the sound of the phone falling on the floor.

“Piper!”<br>
***Manor***

“Cramps and everything is spinning” sobbed Piper. Her body felt like it was on fire. Her stomach cramps were getting worse and she was about to topple over. She kneeled on the floor and felt something wet between her legs. She put her hand on the wet spot and pulled her hand away revealing blood.

She gasped and blacked out as Phoebe called her name.

[mcharmed21]

Piper was rushed in the ER wearing an oxygen mask as Phoebe and Jason were ushered into the waiting room.

“Jason she was bleeding so much” said Phoebe. “She’ll be okay right?”<br>
Jason embraced her. “Yeah”<br>
Paige and Leo ran in.

“Where were you two?” asked Phoebe angrily.

“Working on her powers” said Leo.

“Don’t give me the bull, Leo!” cried Phoebe angrily. “I know you and Paige are screwing around. Right now I’m worried about Piper”<br>
Leo swallowed and nodded.

“The doctor will be out soon” said Jason to Leo and Paige.

***An hour later***

The doctor came out to the waiting room.

“What’s wrong with my sister?” asked Phoebe.

“I’m sorry to say that Mrs. Halliwell suffered a miscarriage” said the doctor.

“A miscarriage?” asked Leo.

“Yes I calculate she was pregnant for about a month” said the doctor.

“Is she okay?” asked Phoebe.

“I gently told her the news” said the doctor. “She’s awake in her room. I would recommend a good counselor”<br>
“Thank you doctor” said Leo slowly.

He walked away as Phoebe got the room number.

“It was probably Cole who caused this” said Paige angrily. “After yesterday”<br>
“When I leave, I’m going to kill him” said Phoebe not regarding Jason. She looked at Leo who looked disturbed.

“I’m sorry Leo” said Phoebe sympathetically. “At least the baby was yours and not Cole’s”<br>
“That makes it all better Phoebe!” cried Leo. “She lost the baby that we wanted”<br>
Phoebe was taken aback as Leo stalked off towards Piper’s room.

***Piper’s Hospital Room***

Piper choked a sob as stared out her window. She was lying on the bed, feeling very tired. How did this happen? Probably from yesterday which meant Cole was responsible. How could she have let him into her life? How could he do this to her? She should have let him jump off that balcony, then she would have been happily pregnant.

The baby would have been hers and Leo’s.

“Piper” said Leo.

Piper didn’t turn towards him. How could she face him? After that cheating and then the miscarriage. She owed him a lot. He walked to where she was facing and sat on the chair.

“How are you?” whispered Leo while taking her hand.

“Not so well” answered Piper while casting her eyes down.

“I’m so sorry” said Leo.

“No I’m sorry” said Piper. “I should have defended myself yesterday”<br>
Leo’s eyes filled with tears. Lying to her was so heartbreaking.

“Don’t blame yourself sweetheart” said Leo.

“We tried so hard and we had it” sobbed Piper.

“I know baby” said Leo running his hand through her hair.

“Leo don’t leave me okay” said Piper.

Leo nodded and watched as Piper fell asleep.

[mcharmed21]

***Penthouse***


Phoebe kicked down the door with ease and she and Paige entered potions in hand and game faces on.

“Where are you coward?!” cried Phoebe.

Paige checked the bedroom. “He’s not here”<br>
Suddenly Cole shimmered in and threw an energy ball at Paige. Paige cried out and orbed out of the way. Phoebe levitated and tried to kick Cole but he grabbed her foot and swung her around. She flew over the couch and hit the floor. The air was knocked out of her.

Paige ran up to Cole and he kicked he legs from under her. Phoebe crawled to the potion she dropped. Cole held out his arms.

“Do it Phoebe” said Cole.

“You killed my sister’s baby” said Phoebe. “Don’t come back!”<br>
She threw the potion at his feet and pulled Paige up and away from the smoke. Cole violently shook and disappeared in red smoke.

“You think he’ll come back?” asked Paige.

“No he’ll let the beast devour him” said Phoebe coldly as she turned and left the penthouse.

***Hospital Room***

“Stop please” screamed Piper. Piper was struggling against a man it was blurry. “What are you doing?”<br>
She kicked the man and he groaned as she ran towards the door. The man grabbed her and threw her across the room hitting the vanity.

“Leo no!” screamed Piper.

***End of Dream***

Leo was pacing outside of Piper’s room. He should tell her he was the cause of her miscarriage. Would she hate him? No they had history. She would understand. He hoped she would understand.

Inside the room Piper shot up her heart rate slowed down and beads of sweat was on her forehead.

Oh my gods!

IT couldn’t have.

She remembered.

It wasn’t Cole.

It was Leo!

[mcharmed21]

Piper woke up to the sunlight streaming in the room over the sleeping couple. She looked at Cole who was still asleep. His stomach wound was patched up and his wrist was in a splint from being sprained. No they didn’t make love because of Piper’s miscarriage, it was too soon, and Cole’s wrist was swelling up to the point that Piper had to drag him out of the tub to get him to go to the hospital. Who knew a half demon can do so much complaining.

Phoebe and Paige were calling non-stop on her cell. She left a message on the manor message machine. She didn’t want to talk to them right now. She heard groaning coming from Cole.

“What time is it?” asked Cole.

Piper looked at the clock. “10:52am”<br>
Cole opened his eyes and found Piper looking at him.

“What’s up for today?” asked Cole.

“We’ll I’m going to the manor when no one is there” said Piper. “Then collect my clothes and all my other stuff”<br>
“No” said Cole. “Didn’t you tell me the doctor told you to be in bed rest”<br>
“Yeah but…”

“No buts” said Cole. “I’ll pick up a few clothes and things for you, ok”<br>
“Alright” said Piper.

“I can call out of work” said Cole.

“No don’t do that” said Piper. “Go”<br>
“I don’t want Leo or your sisters coming around while you’re suppose to be resting” said Cole. “Plus if you need a shoulder to cry on. I understand what it’s like to lose a child. Maybe I wasn’t there and it didn’t directly happen to me but…”

“I’m sorry we took your son away” said Piper. “I guess what goes around comes around”<br>
“No” said Cole. “Don’t ever think that. I would never want anything like that to have happened to you. I just want you to know I understand”<br>
Piper nodded and kissed him. “I will be okay, go to work”<br>
“Alright” said Cole. “I’ll be back around five”<br>
He got up and Piper watched him walk into the bathroom.

Gosh, that man was so hot.

***Later that afternoon***

Cole walked into his bedroom with three bags and one take out bag. He spotted Piper sleeping on the bed. He placed the bags down and crawled on the bed. Tears were falling from her closed eyes. Cole wiped her tears away and she slowly woke up. Cole pulled her into a hug.

“I want my baby” sobbed Piper.

“I know I wish I could bring your baby back” said Cole carefully rocking her.

Piper wiped her tears. “Maybe what you got me will make me feel better for the moment”<br>
Cole nodded and got off the bed. He retrieved the 4 bags and placed them on the bed.

“I went to Olive Garden and got us a pasta dinner” said Cole. “And I bought you clothes, pajamas, toothbrush, a robe, hairbrush, and a couple pairs of shoes”<br>
Piper took everything out looking at how comfortable and elegant they were. Jeans, silk shirts, blouses, cotton pajamas, and all the perfect size, even the shoes and sneakers.

“Thank you” said Piper hugging him.

“Anything you want just ask” said Cole.

“How about you and me in front of the fireplace tonight” said Piper. “Watching a movie”<br>
Cole pretended to think about it and Piper slapped him playfully on the arm.

“If it’ll take your mind off of things” said Cole placing a kiss on her lips. “I guess we have a date tonight, huh”<br>
“That’s what it sounds like” said Piper.

[mcharmed21]

***Manor-That night***

“I can’t believe Piper moved in with Cole” said Paige listening to the message for probably the 20th time. “She goes to the wasteland and saves him”<br>
“She loves him” said Phoebe sadly as she was sitting on the couch with a pillow up to her chest. “The only way she could have gotten to the wasteland is by the spell to find a lost loved one. That should be me with Cole not her”<br>
“Sweetie” said Paige. “You rejected him and pursued a divorce”<br>
“Oh and you and Piper weren’t behind me pushing and cheering me on” said Phoebe angrily glaring at her.

Paige just stood silent. “Should we go to her”<br>
“No” said Phoebe unnoticed tears falling. “Let her learn a lesson”<br>
“But she’s our sister” said Paige. “We need her for the power of three”<br>
“That’s all we need her for” said Phoebe. She turned to Paige. “And I don’t think her paycheck will be coming over here either, so find yourself a job”<br>

With that she got up and left Paige in a glum mood.

***Penthouse***

“I love Sleepless in Seattle” said Piper as Cole fed her a spoon of ice cream.

Cole shrugged. “It’s okay I guess”<br>
“You guess?”

“I’m not into romance movies” said Cole twisting his face.

“Oh really cause you seem to be a big romantic yourself” said Piper.

“It’s the Turner charm” said Cole running his hand through his hair.

Piper rolled her eyes. “Shh it’s at the end where they meet at the empire state building”<br>
The two were on the floor sitting on blankets and a nice little picnic in front of them and leaning against the couch. Cole just stared at Piper the fire’s glow dancing on her face. He had it all. He got the girl. The right girl, the one he wanted to love. Cole nibbled on her ear making Piper giggle. She turned to him and placed a kiss on his lips. Then she snuggled into his chest.

“You know maybe we can do something together just the two of us” said Cole moving his finger up and down Piper’s arm.

“Yeah maybe watch Saturday cartoon I haven’t done that in a long time” said Piper.

“Saturday cartoons?”

“Yeah looney tunes, Spongebob” said Piper. “Paige watches them all the time. Oh I have to give you a lesson in pop culture”<br>
“I’ll be looking forward to it” said Cole kissing the top of her head.

[mcharmed21]

After a morning of cartoons and cereal Piper and Cole were making out on the couch. Piper had to get to the club. She walked in hand in hand with Cole. It was the P3’s anniversary. Purple and blue streamers were being hung, fog machines were being setup.

“I have to call the caterer” said Piper to Cole as they walked into her office. “They better be here on time”<br>
Cole smiled wickedly at her as he shut the door and locked it.

“We can’t” said Piper smiling and backing away.

“A few kisses” said Cole. “I want no interruptions”<br>
He shimmered behind her and grabbed her waist.

“Hey no fair” said Piper as Cole kissed her neck and moved his hands up her stomach. Piper pulled away quickly. Cole caught on and his face fell.

“Piper I’m sorry” said Cole. “I wasn’t thinking”<br>
“No it’s okay” said Piper shrugging. “Just still mourning you know”<br>
“I know” said Cole. The familiar light of orbs illuminated the room and Cole quickly shimmered away just as the forms of Piper and Phoebe appeared.

“What are you two doing here?” asked Piper gathering her bearings.

“We wanted to see you” said Paige.

“Well I’m here now you can go” said Piper coolly.

“He’s tearing us apart again” said Phoebe. “Can’t you see that?”<br>
“Goodbye Phoebe” said Piper.

“Don’t come back then when he hurts you” said Phoebe. “And I mean when”<br>
They orbed out and Piper ran a frustrated hand through her hair.

***Two months later***

“Uh Piper where are we?” asked Cole as Piper parked the car in the parking lot. Cole was blindfolded and it was about 6pm.

“It’s a surprise” said Piper getting out. She ran over to the other side. Leo watched near a tree. He had grown a beard and was drinking whisky. She pulled Cole out from the car. “Be careful”<br>
They walked to the entrance and Piper took his blindfold off.

“Happy Birthday baby” said Piper.

Cole was awed by the bright lights and the rides.

“Where are we?”<br>
“A carnival” answered Piper watching everyone have fun.

“You remembered my birthday?” asked Cole as he looked at her with unshed tears.

“Of course” said Piper grabbing his hands. She kissed him passionately. He pulled away.

“I love you Piper” said Cole.

“I love you too” said Piper. “Now why don’t we go have some fun”<br>
***Three hours later***

Cole was puking inside a trashcan. Piper tapped his back and looked at him worriedly.

“Maybe it was food poisoning” said Piper. “Or did you never have a hotdog before?”<br>
“Piper I kinda had three, cotton candy, a candy apple, and two slices of pizza” groaned Cole as he stood up. Piper handed him some lemonade.

“This will probably soothe your tummy” said Piper as she held on to the plastic bag full of stuffed animals Cole had won for her. “Okay let’s go on the ferris wheel. The sky is pretty”<br>
“Okay” said Cole putting his arm around her. They walked to the ride and got in the car. The metal bar came over their waist and Piper leaned on Cole’s shoulder.

“Piper this is the best birthday ever, the only birthday ever” said Cole putting his head on top of hers.

“I’m glad I could give you that and I’m sorry we didn’t acknowledge it before” said Piper. “I assumed Phoebe would be doing something and you weren’t really around. Plus The Source”<br>
“Shh” said Cole. “It’s okay”<br>
Piper wiped her tears and looked up at him. “Do you think that maybe when we are ready and as soon as we are we’ll get married?”<br>
“You want to?” asked Cole.

“I love you so much and you love me” said Piper. “I think the time is right”<br>
“Whenever you want?” asked Cole. “Just let me know”<br>
Piper nodded and leaned in for a kiss.

“I have vomit breath” said Cole.

“You smell like lemons to me and plus what do I care?” asked Piper smiling. “I’m prepare to spend the rest of my life with you”<br>
***That night bedroom***

“Wow” said Piper.

“Wow” said Cole.

Piper pulled the blanket closer to her chest. They were home at the penthouse.

“Want another go?” asked Cole seductively as he kissed Piper again.

“Wait a minute tiger” said Piper as she lay on top of Cole. She laid on his chest. “You know after we’re married maybe we could start trying for kids”<br>
“Kids?” asked Cole rolling over and placing her beneath her.

“Yeah with a house” said Piper. “We don’t have to move right away maybe after the third kid”<br>
“Three huh?” asked Cole. “To make a new power of three”<br>
Piper rolled him back over and got on top of him.

“It’s not about that” said Piper seriously. “I just want lots of kids with a large backyard and barbecues. Normal family stuff”<br>
“Well I don’t know about that stuff” said Cole.

“I could teach you” said Piper. “You’re still a kid yourself you know”<br>
Cole smiled.

“I’ll be back” said Piper getting up from the bed. She wrapped herself in a robe.

Cole closed his eyes. He couldn’t believe he had it all. This seemed to be a fairy tale dream. Piper walked back with a cake and a bag. Cole smiled as she placed it down on the nightstand and lit up the candles.

“Presents first” said Piper pulling out a box that was gift wrapped. She handed it to Cole who opened it. It was a wooden box. He opened it. Very old newspaper and important documents were there, including what seemed to be a journal. Then he pulled out a golden watch and two rings.

“What is this?” asked Cole.

“All your father’s” said Piper picking up a gold rattle. “To my son Coleridge Benjamin Turner”<br>

[mcharmed21]

“How did you get this?” asked Cole.

“Well I did a little research” said Piper. “You lived here before in San Francisco. I tracked down this abandoned house and went inside then your dad orbed to me and guided me towards this stuff. He had hidden it and the house is big. Actually Cole you inherited it so if we decide to move it’s yours”<br>
“I loved that house” said Cole. “It had all kids of secret passages”<br>
Piper saw tears falling down his cheek.

“This is so much” said Cole. “Thanks”<br>
“None needed” said Piper hugging his tightly. “Maybe this could get you closer to your father”<br>
“Maybe” said Cole. “It feels like I can’t forgive him even though it wasn’t his fault. Maybe I just hate myself”<br>
“No Cole” said Piper. “You shouldn’t hate yourself and don’t rush your feelings. Now are you ready to make your wish”<br>
Cole looked at the candles.

“It already came true” he said. “But we can make a wish together”<br>
He grabbed her hand and they both blew out the candles and the smoke circled around them unnoticeably.

>***Penthouse***
>"They don't know when to leave a person alone!" Piper shouted to the empty

>"What's wrong?" Cole asked.
>Paige and Phoebe orbed in at P3, again. They don't give up. It seems Leo

>Cole took Piper's hand and gently pulled her on the couch.
>"You're so tense. You need to relax." Cole said as he massaged her
>shoulders and neck.
>"That feels so good. I can feel all my problems floating away."
>"I'm glad." Cole said. Then he started kissing her shoulders and neck.
>He made me feel so good, now it's my turn to return the favor, she thought

>When they were in the bedroom, Piper gently pushed Cole on the bed.
>"You took such good care of me, now it's your turn."
>Piper undressed, till she was only wearing her new lingerie.
>"You like?" she asked, climbing on the bed.
>Cole just nodded his head.
>"Good, I brought a few pair."

[mcharmed21]

After they made love, Piper laid her head on Cole's chest and held his
>hand.
>"This is nice." she sighed.
>"Yes, it is. So, how many pair of lingerie did you buy?"
>"3, Black, white and red."
>"Hmmm, I can't wait till tomorrow night."
>While Cole and Piper were making love, Leo orbed into their living room.
>He couldn't believe it! His wife, snuggling up to that half-breed, Turner.
>He has no right to touch her! She belongs to me!
>Leo vowed he'd get Piper back, at any cost.

>***A Couple of Weeks Later***
>"Piper, I have a surprise for you. Come with me." Cole said as he tied a
>blindfold over her eyes.
>When they arrived at the house, Cole opened the door to the house and
>carried Piper inside.
>After he removed the blindfold, Piper looked around in amazement.
>"It's beautiful! I love it! So this is what you were hiding from me." Piper
>said, hugging his close.
>Now all I have to do is propose.
>"Cole, are you listening to me?"
>"No, I was thinking about something."
>"What?"
>"I still can't believe that you love me,"
>Piper leaned in and gave Cole a nice long kiss.
>"Believe it."

>***Manor***
>Leo was going crazy. He's been spying on them for the last week.
>"I need to end this."
>"Phoebe, I'm really worried about Leo. he's been acting very strange. I
>believe he's spying on Piper."
>"You're making too much out of this. He's probably helping one of his

>"No, he's not. I caught him, a couple of nights ago. He just orbed in and he
>was mumbling something about Piper and that demon. He’s up to something."
>"He's hurt."
>"So am I! I love him but he's pinning away for someone who doesn't want him

>***2 Days Later***
>A drunk Leo walked into the manor, with a gun.
>"Leo! What are you doing with that!" Paige shouted.
>"I'm going to do what I should have done when this whole affair started."Leo
>slurred.
>"Phoebe! Stop him!"
>"No! Maybe this time he'll stay dead!"
>Before Paige could grab the gun, Leo orbed to the Penthouse.
>
>***Penthouse***
>Cole was sitting on the couch, working, when Leo orbed in.
>"What do you want, Wyatt."
>"MY wife!" Leo shouted, waving the gun around.
>Cole could believe it Leo was going to kill him.
>"Get ready to go back to hell, where you belong!" Leo shouted.
>Piper was in the bedroom, when she heard Leo shouting.
>"What's he doing here." she whispered.
>Piper wasn't aware that Leo had a gun when she rushed into the room
>Leo aimed the gun at Cole's heart and was just about to pull the trigger,
>when Piper startled him. She put her hands up as Leo pulled the trigger…<br>

[mcharmed21]

Piper gasped with her hands up. The gunshot scared her and she expected to be hit. Cole gasped in pain and collapsed. Piper grabbed him before he fell and lowered him on the ground.

“Cole” croaked Piper putting her hand on the bleeding wound.

Cole smiled at her. “I’m fine”<br>
Piper touched his face and smiled then her face-hardened and turned to Leo.

“Heal him!” screamed Piper.

Leo dropped the smoking gun and shook his head while backing up. Piper angrily raised her arms and Leo exploded into orbs and then regrouped making Piper cry harder.

She turned her focus to Cole as Leo orbed out. She couldn’t let him leave her like this. Not now, when they were planning a life.

“Cole hospital” said Piper. “You think you could shimmer us there”<br>
Piper saw Leo had orbed back with a confused look on his face. “I’ll orb you there but I won’t heal him”<br>
“Fine” said Piper holding out her hand while holding Cole’s.

***Hospital***

Piper held on to Cole’s hand as he kept focus on her and only her. He was on a gurney and Doctor’s were rushing him to the ER. Piper was not to be messed with and when the nurse had tried to pull her away from Cole. Piper glared at her with daggers in her eyes that the nurse didn’t even try and wanted to wait till later.

“Cole you still with me?” asked Piper.

Cole turned his face towards his love.

“Always” said Cole.

“You can’t die alright” said Piper squeezing his hand. She looked at his wound it wasn’t looking good.

Cole closed his eyes and opened them to find Piper shaking with fear.

Piper was scared his lips were turning blue and he was pale. She couldn’t lose him. The pain she was feeling while he was in danger of dying was unbearable. Piper heard a cabinet explode from across the room and the doctors jumped. Piper closed her eyes tightly and two lights exploded.

“Piper” said Cole. “It’s okay”<br>
“No” sobbed Piper.

“Freeze…the…d…octors” pleaded Cole.

“I can’t” sobbed Piper running her hand through his hair.

“F…or me” whispered Cole.

[mcharmed21]

Piper couldn’t believe this. She raised her hand and concentrated real hard cause at this point she didn’t care if she killed anyone just that these doctors had to save him. Had to save him, her love, her life. She froze them and the whole hospital froze. Leaving it peacefully quiet.

“Cole we’re wasting time” said Piper.

“Piper” said Cole keeping focus on her. He couldn’t feel his legs but he wouldn’t tell her that and he was cold. He knew he was dying and even healing couldn’t save him. Piper wiped Cole’s tears away leaving streaks of blood on his face.

Cole hated to see Piper cry and he was too weak to wipe her tears. He had to stay conscious and alive enough to carry out something that he wanted to do.

“D…do you wan..t to g…et married?” asked Cole difficultly.

“Yes” said Piper. “And we will when you get better”<br>
“N…o” stuttered Cole as he started shaking. “Now”<br>
“What!” cried Piper. “We can do it when you get better. There is no time for this”<br>
“Try to freeze my wound and stop the blood flow long enough” whispered Cole.

“I… never done that” sobbed Piper. “I don’t want to take my chances”<br>
“For us” whispered Cole.

Piper nodded and lifted her hand towards Cole. She closed her eyes and froze his wound. She looked at him.

“Are you in pain?” asked Piper.

“H…urry and g…et a priest” said Cole kissing Piper’s hand.

“Cole baby please” said Piper.

“I have one” said a voice by the door.

Piper turned towards the door and saw Paige and Grams.

“I’ll give you the legal marriage” said Grams looking at the awful sight in front of her.

“Hurry they have to do surgery” said Piper.

Grams nodded knowing this was going to be hard on her granddaughter. Penny shook her head and grabbed onto Cole’s other hand while smiling sympathetically. Paige who couldn’t keep herself together orbed out and would find Piper later.

“Let’s hurry” said Grams. She put her hands on both Cole and Piper’s foreheads and a glow engulfed them. “Cole recite your vows”<br>
I, Cole Turner, take you Piper Halliwell, to be my wife, my partner in life and my one true love.
I will cherish our friendship and love you today, tomorrow, and forever.
I will trust you and honor you
I will laugh with you and cry with you.
I will love you faithfully
Through the best and the worst,
Through the difficult and the easy.
What may come I will always be there.
As I have given you my hand to hold
So I give you my life to keep
So help me God

I, P…iper Halliwell, take you Cole Turner, to be my husband, my partner in life and my one true love.
I will cherish our friendship and love you today,
tomorrow, and forever
I will trust you and honor you
I will laugh with you and cry with you.
I will love you faithfully
Through the best and the worst,
Through the difficult and the easy.
What may come I will always be there.
As I have given you my hand to hold
So I give you my life to keep
So help me God

[mcharmed21]

In unison:
Entreat me not to leave you, or to return from following after you,
For where you go I will go,
and where you stay I will stay
Your people will be my people,
and your God will be my God.
And where you die, I will die and there I will be buried.
May the Lord do with me and more if anything but death parts you from me.


“You may kiss your bride” said Grams. “But before you do I want to thank you Cole for giving Piper great love and Piper cherish these moments and remember the good things. Blessed Be my dears” She orbed out.

Cole gasped in pain and Piper cried out.

“No!”<br>
Rings appeared on their ring finger as everything unfroze.

“We’re losing him” cried the doctor.

“We’re prepped for surgery” said the nurse trying to pull Piper away.

“Pip…er” whispered Cole. He was stark white and his lips were blue. His skin was clammy and cold. Piper knew time was up. She nodded at Cole. Then she brought her lips to his and he kissed her weakly but with more meaning than that. The months they shared together were more than he could ask for and he was leaving her happy.

There was nothing more he could ask for. An assassin from The Source sent to kill The Charmed Ones had married two and loved truly only one and that was the woman that was with him now. That he had married in his deathbed and who saw him for him.

“I…love y..ou” said Piper putting her forehead to his.

“I” started Cole he gasped in pain as the world was slowly turning black and he could no longer feel anything. “Love you too”<br>
Piper felt Cole’s last breath on her face and tears slid down his cheek as did hers.

“I love you so much” whispered Piper and she heard the heart monitor flatline.

She sat back and saw Cole’s eyes still open and looking up. Doctors trying to revive him with no luck and Piper just sat there watching Cole. Or staring at his body. She wouldn’t except it. No this was a joke in a few minutes someone will see this as a mistake and he will come back to her.

The doctor’s sighed after 10 minutes. He looked at Piper.

“I’m sorry for your loss” said the doctor.

“Get out” said Piper slowly keeping her eyes on Cole.

When she saw that no one was moving…<br>
“Get Out!! Get Out! Get Out!” screamed Piper with so much fury that the door exploded and so did the windows and the doctors had frozen. Piper dropped to the floor and her body was wracking with sobs. Her only love was dead. It was such a short time. He was robbed of him, his life was stolen, their life was stolen. She put her wedding ring to her lips and the cold metal did nothing for her. She felt empty inside. She felt sick and the room was tilting. She took a deep breath. It was all a nightmare. Just one big nightmare and she would wake up and Cole would walk in with breakfast and they would watch Saturday cartoons in their pajamas.

Piper smiled and cried at the memory. It was so cute and yet annoying for him to be asking all those questions. She was glad that she could introduce him to the world of looney tunes and she could have smacked him when he said he didn’t know who Bugs Bunny was. Shame on him.

She loved him oh gods she loved him and her heart was broken that she knew no one could repair it. Only Cole could and she wanted him to come back.

Piper stood up with much difficulty, it was silent and she looked at his bloody body. How could Leo do this to her?

“Come back!” cried Piper shaking him a bit. “Please come back! I love you, please”<br>
She cried on his chest and she cried harder when there was no comforting heartbeat to listen to and his body that had once been a warm comfort was nothing but an empty cold vessel.

After a few minutes she grew quiet and just laid on his chest before looking at his pale face. His eyes were faded out and there was no color. No sparkly blue eyes that she would awaken to. Piper ran a shaking hand over his eyes and smiled weakly. She then kissed his hand.

“I’ll bring you back” whispered Piper as she exited dazily. “And that’s a promise”<br>

[mcharmed21]

***Next afternoon***


Piper Turner laid on the bed in their room at the penthouse. Her eyes were bloodshot and she was staring at the wall. Her hands were covered in dry blood and the room was a mess. Tears silently slid down her cheeks as she felt her heart break.

She unhooked the phone and did a blocking spell over the apartment. She didn’t want to see anyone she didn’t want to hear anyone. It hurt to speak and it hurt to move. She couldn’t understand why fate would do this. She didn’t want to understand. Piper moved her eyes towards the nightstand and caught a picture of them both at the carnival.

Happy

Like they were going to be forever.

Forever

Forever were only a couple months and it only had been a few days ago they had made that decision for forever. They were going to move into the house. She couldn’t bring herself to go there. It was a house for both of them after the wedding. She squeezed her eyes shut.

But HE came.

HE came and took that away from HER.

Piper heard something explode from the living room and took a deep breath. She didn’t want to make the place anymore messy cause she wanted it clean for Cole. She was waiting for him.

Piper sat up quickly. No he was waiting for her…She needed him. She couldn’t stay here. What if he was scared or lonely. No she couldn’t do that to him. Piper stood up quickly and made her way to the medicine cabinet. She looked it over and grabbed a bottle of sleeping pills. Then she filled a glass of water and looked in the mirror. She looked a mess but the thing that hurt her the most was the fact that she could still smell him. His scent it was everywhere, in the bathroom, on the sheets in the bedroom, on her, in her mind.

She slowly walked back to the bedroom and sat on the bed. She stared at the bottle. Was she really going to end her life? She didn’t have anything to live for. Her mother was dead, her grandmother was dead, Prue was dead, and now Cole her husband was dead. It was only right that she join them. Piper wiped her tears before opening the bottle. She dumped the bottle on the nightstand, she wasn’t going to write a note. No one deserved one. Piper was going to take them by fours but before she put the first dose in her mouth she felt dizzy and found herself in the living room.

Piper fell on the floor and clutched her head. Did she just shimmer? How? How did she shimmer? Piper stopped breathing for a moment, morning sickness, overwhelmed emotions, moodiness, and she missed her period. Oh my! She was pregnant!

Pregnant!

With Cole’s child. She closed her eyes and touched her belly. Her baby had saved her. This was the best gift he could give her. She wanted this baby with him though. Piper walked into the bathroom and turned on the shower. All of this was overwhelming. Piper stripped her clothes off quickly and got in with no hesitation. She let the hot water run down her shivering body and watched as the blood run down, Cole’s blood.

She washed her body slowly. There was no rush for anything. There was nothing or anyone to rush to. She washed her long hair and tried to make a list of what she would do today.

Well for one she had to go to the doctor and get her pregnancy confirmed and then she had to arrange a funeral for Cole.

[mcharmed21]

A funeral…<br>
Piper choked as a sob escaped. A funeral was so final, so like giving up. She turned off the shower. She really had to be strong for the baby. She didn’t want to suffer another miscarriage, it was difficult enough for her to get pregnant.

Piper stood in front of the mirror and looked at herself. Staring at the old Piper, well she was going to be a mother and she wanted to be a new Piper. She grabbed some scissors and started to cut her hair. She had a long thick lock in her hair and saw as one side was just above her shoulder. So far, so good. She smiled as she cut the rest they fell silently to the floor. When she was done she dropped the scissors in the sink and went to the bedroom to check herself in the vanity.

Wow!

Her hair was just above her shoulders now. What possessed her to do that? Lately she’s been taking a lot of risks.

Piper blow dried and curled her hair then she got dressed in black pants a white silk blouse, and some black boots.

What if Cole wasn’t in heaven? What if he was somewhere worse. No she shouldn’t think that.

When she was applying her lipstick there was a knock on the door. She rolled her eyes.

“Piper” called Phoebe. “We know you’re there”<br>
Piper angrily threw her lipstick down and walked out of the bedroom. She flung open the front door and was met by Paige and Phoebe looking exhausted.

“Piper” said Phoebe surprised. She looked at her hair and Piper’s cold eyes. Phoebe cleared her throat. “How are you? We heard”<br>
“I’m sure you did” said Piper coldly.

“Piper we never intended for this to happen” said Paige but the look she got from Piper told her to shutup or get blown up.

“Do you have any respect for a grieving widow?” asked Piper.

“You’re married?” asked Phoebe.

“Yeah Phoebe” said Piper. “Grams did it while he was bleeding to death in the hospital”<br>
Piper stopped and looked up. She didn’t want to cry anymore and suddenly she felt warm and happy and a sudden surge of power.

“Maybe we shouldn’t have come” said Phoebe. “But you should come home, you shouldn’t be alone”<br>
“This is my home” said Piper. “And Cole would be here if you didn’t cheer Leo on. Oh my gods Phoebe how could you do this to me? What if you’re not happy I can’t be either.”<br>
“It wasn’t that Piper” sobbed Phoebe. “I love him too. I didn’t want him dead, and I should have stopped Leo”<br>
Piper’s face-hardened. “Well he didn’t love you, he loved me!”<br>
“Piper how can we make this up to you” begged Paige.

“You can’t” said Piper coldly. Then she smiled. “But I just need some time and tell that whitelighter that if I see his face or hear his voice I will kill him. Ok bye bye”<br>

She slammed the door and leaned against the door.

“I will kill you Leo” said Piper closing her eyes. “That is a promise. And Piper Turner does not break her promises”<br>

[mcharmed21]

A/N: I decided since i couldn't wait any longer to post the prologue i already have four chapters done but i decided to post this chapter for you guys. Then when May hits i will start updating regularly so please read and review...

Forbidden Prologue


Piper panted hard as her feet hit the wet grass. Her face was twisted in determination. She was chasing him. He was hers. She jumped over a gravestone and tackled him before he orbed away.

“Wait don’t kill me” begged the man.

“Give me the bow now” growled Piper.

The darklighter laughed and kicked her. She flew into Cole’s gravestone and rolled to the ground.

“Big mistake!” shouted Piper.

She raised her hands and the darklighter exploded in dark orbs. Piper pulled her hair back, drops of rain fell down her face and she retrieved the arrow. Good one bow left. That’s all she needed. She touched her belly.

“Four months” she murmured.

Piper turned her sights to Cole’s grave.

“Hey baby” said Piper walking over and dropping to her knees just in front of the stone. She traced the letters. “I’m fine and so is the baby. It’s alone at the penthouse. Dark and lonely nights. I don’t talk to my sisters anymore and I know that you would say that I should kiss and make up but I can’t. I don’t know the gender of the baby”<br>
She wiped her tears.

“I promised to not cry” said Piper laughing. “I cried so much everyday”<br>
Piper gathered her bearings. “Now I must go”<br>
She closed her eyes and sighed. Thunder crashed and she stood up.

“Piper” said Leo.

Piper turned around furiously.

“Maybe we should talk” said Leo.

He had dark circles under his eyes and a five o’ clock shadow.

“Talk” said Piper.

“I’m sorry I was out of…”

“Shut up now” said Piper glaring at him.

Leo cleared his throat. “I’m trying to make up with you I just wanna talk”<br>
“You talk I’ll kill” said Piper.

She lifted the darklighter arrow and aimed. Leo took a step back.

“Piper that’s really uncalled for” said Leo stepping back.

“Don’t make this harder” said Piper.

“I love you” said Leo. “And somewhere you used to love me”<br>
“A long time ago I don’t know you anymore” said Piper.

“I only tried to protect you from Cole” said Leo. “He would have hurt you”<br>
He never saw the arrow come towards him and hit his heart. Piper dropped the bow as Leo fell to the ground he writhed in pain. Piper bore no emotion. She walked briskly by him.

“Piper help me” pleaded Leo.

Piper turned to Leo.

“Who’s gonna help me?” asked Piper softly putting her hand on her belly.

She took one last look at him. “Goodbye Leo Wyatt”<br>
She walked away from her former love. She walked towards the dark and cold

[mcharmed21]

ForbiddenII

A/N: Well it's May and like i promised Forbidden is back with a passion. This should be better than the first part. So sit back read, enjoy and always review.



“So I’ll see you three Saturday Night” said Piper shaking their hands.

“Thanks a lot” said Liz the lead singer.

The three walked up the stairs past the banner that read Battle of the Bands. Piper sighed and got up. Finally she could go home.

Home where the only man in her life was waiting for her.

She still missed Cole very deeply, but she had to set aside her plan for her sake and the baby’s. Piper smiled and left the club.

***Penthouse***


Piper opened the door to her penthouse and entered inside. She heard various peek a boo noises. Piper’s heart lit up in joy and she put her purse and keys down on the glass table next to her.

Little laughs were music to her ears. She saw Prue crossed legged on the floor sticking out her tongue. She looked up and saw Piper.

“Look mommy’s home” said Prue pointing.

Piper took off her shoes and made her way over to the laid out blanket at which her son was laying on.

Yes a beautiful son with curly dark brown hair and bright blue eyes, Cole’s eyes.

Her son looked at her with big eyes and kicked his little feet happily.

“Oh my sweetie” said Piper bending down to pick him up.

Prue watched with glee.

“He was a good little boy weren’t you?”<br>
“That’s my little guy” said Piper holding him close to her shoulder. “My little Ben”<br>
Benjamin Cole Turner was one years old. Leo had been granted Eldership which made Piper infuriated and he granted Prue to her for her birthday. Like that was going to make things better.

Oh she was glad her big sister was back with her. Prue was a nanny for Piper and also a supporter. Prue took the room next to Piper’s and little Ben slept with Piper.

Ben had to be with Piper all times except when Piper was working and that was because Prue convinced Piper that Ben would be okay. Prue knew that Piper didn’t want to lose Ben like she lost Cole. Everytime you looked at Ben you thought about Cole. He had his eyes and his smile and his father’s name.

Prue squeezed the squeaky toy in her hand. The first few weeks after Cole died was tough. Piper could hardly respond at the funeral that she totally lost it at the funeral. Especially when Phoebe and Paige showed up.

She threatened to kill Leo and was screaming all other awful things. Prue was afraid that with Piper going into depression she was going to lose the baby.

“Did Ben take his nap?” asked Piper.

“Yes and he ate” said Prue standing up. “I burped him and he puked on my shoulder but I had the washcloth”<br>
“Good cause I’m not doing anymore dry cleaning” said Piper.

Prue smiled and slapped her sister with the teddy bear.


***That night***

It was a warm and slightly breezy night that had Piper Turner get up and enter the living room. She crept quietly around the penthouse till she stopped at the french doors. She waved her hand and the doors opened slowly and she walked out onto the balcony.



Tears fell from her eyes as she glanced at her wedding ring. She looked up in the sky and took a breath.

She had gone through a lot this past year.

Now all her attention was on Ben her sweetheart. She couldn’t stand it if she lost him too. There were a lot of demonic attacks in the beginning but Ben showed signs of powers such as forcefields and shimmering. Which had Piper on the worry side but Piper and him had a bond that tied his powers to her so if he were to shimmer without knowing Piper could take back the shimmer. At least until he was old enough to control his powers.

Piper smiled, this guy was already showing signs of being mischievous. He reminded her so much of him and you would think it would hurt, but it made Piper heal. Not totally for she was still bent on getting Cole back.

She closed her eyes as the last tear dropped down her face. The attire disappeared and Piper left the balcony to go back to her room. Baby Ben was sleeping next to her on the bed. Drooling and hugging Crocky his favorite alligator that Prue had giving him when he was born. Piper laid down next to her little guy and fell asleep.


***Next Morning***

“Piper” said Prue looking under couch cushions.

Piper walked out of the kitchen with Ben wrapped in a towel.

“Yeah Prue” said Piper.

“Where are my keys so I can go grocery shopping?” asked Prue.

“No, Prue” said Piper. “I’m going”<br>
“Come on Piper” said Prue.

“Last time you got all junkfood” said Piper glaring at Prue.

“Come on Piper” said Prue. “I could take Ben”<br>
“I don’t know Prue” said Piper holding Ben tighter.

“Come on Piper” said Prue. “Anyone would be a fool to mess with you or Ben”<br>
Prue walked up to her sister and put a comforting arm around her shoulders.

“Come on Piper I promise I’ll keep Ben safe” said Prue. She put on her sad puppy face look.

Ben laughed.

“Alright, alright” said Piper sighing. “Get everything on the list this time”<br>
“Ok” said Prue following Piper into the bedroom.

[mcharmed21]

***Half-Hour later***

Piper was walking around the penthouse in thought. She sighed and stood in the middle of the room and shimmered away. She arrived at the cemetery. Piper looked around seeing no one was around she continued to walk through the cemetery looking for the gravesite. She stopped and saw Cole’s gravestone up ahead near the Turner Mausoleum. She didn’t want to bury him inside because it was too dark and depressing inside.

She stared at it for awhile looking at the engraving.

Cole Benjamin Turner
Born: August 15, 1968
Died: August 22, 2003

A Wonderful Gift, A husband, a father, and a hero


Piper stiffled a sob and wondered why she came. She came everyday but hadn’t taken Ben yet. Sometime she would come in the wee hours of the night.

She dropped to the ground in tears.

“Why Cole?” asked Piper. “How could you leave me? How could you leave us and let Leo win?”<br>
Tears dropped down onto the ground and the clouds above started to turn dark.

“Cause he’s a loser” said a voice behind her.

Piper stood up angrily and spun around to see her former husband standing in front of her in his Elder Robe.

“Bow down to your Elder” said Leo.

Piper crossed her arms.

“I don’t work for the Elders” said Piper. “I am above them”<br>

“How dare you come here?” said Piper.

“Heard you crying and decided to pay a visit” said Leo. “I care very much about you”<br>
“That’s why you shot Cole” said Piper. “Cause you love me”<br>
“I wanted to free you” said Leo. “But he breeded you with that demon brat”<br>
Piper pulled back her arm and flung it releasing a bolt of lightening at Leo. Leo just stood there as it bounced off of him and headed back at Piper. She raised her arm and the bolt absorbed into her.

“I see you are well into your powers” said Leo.

“Don’t you ever talk about my son” said Piper.

“I have no need for Benji” said Leo turning away. “I have bigger plans”<br>
Piper saw him orb away and screamed into the air making thunder and lightening shoot across the ground.

***Supermarket***

Prue sighed as she saw and heard the pouring rain and thunder. Piper must be at Cole’s grave or having a confrontation with Leo. She shook her head, best to leave her alone especially in her full power form.

She looked at Ben who was playing with his plastic keys.

“You are a such a gift to your mother” said Prue ruffling Ben’s crazy curls. Piper was going to kill her. Piper said that Ben had gotten the Turner hair gene, and that Piper always liked to mess with Cole’s hair by ruffling.

Prue had grown used to ruffling little Ben’s. Everything was such a reminder. Prue had seen how much love Cole Turner could bring. She had wanted to comfort him while he was possessed. How much hurt he had endured? Now Piper was hurting and Prue didn’t know how to help her.

“Prue?” called a voice she didn’t really want to deal with.

Prue looked up from Ben and saw Phoebe and Jason shopping also. They left their shopping cart and walked over. Phoebe turned to Jason.

“Could you leave my sis and I alone?” asked Phoebe giving him a peck on the cheek.

“Yeah” said Jason walking away.

Phoebe turned back to Prue.

“Well Prue how are you?” asked Phoebe nervously.

“I’m okay” said Prue. “And you?”<br>
“I’m fine” said Phoebe. “What about Piper?”<br>
“She’s getting by” said Prue. “We’re taking it day by day”<br>
Phoebe looked down at the little boy in the cart.

“Oh wow” said Phoebe in astonishment. “Is that Piper’s son?”<br>
Prue nodded. “His name is Ben”<br>
“Oh” said Phoebe softly. “He’s very handsome”<br>
Ben was shifting his head between Prue and Phoebe.

“I guess Piper wouldn’t want me to hold him” said Phoebe.

“Sorry Pheebs” said Prue. “I can’t”<br>
“I understand” said Phoebe obviously hurt.

***Penthouse night***

Piper shifted in her bed from side to side.

***Dream***

She was walking through the cemetery late at night. She circled Cole’s grave tears falling and suddenly a hand shot out

***Penthouse bedroom***

Piper awoke in fear she was breathing heavily and glanced at Ben next to her. She laid back down and stared at the ceiling.

***Cemetery***

A whirl of wind circled through the cemetery and the ground rumbled. Over at Cole’s grave the dirt sifted and pounding can be heard.
Ten minutes later a hand popped out.
