�Phoebe has not changed in the last few hours,� Victor said to Cole.
�Be patient Victor,� Grams said coming into the living room where Phoebe still laid.
Jack still held on to Prue, Cole had not left Phoebe side in the time Leo was gone, and Daryl�s was still near Piper. She had offered to drive him home, but he said no. Patty asked him to get something for Phoebe fever that started. Daryl got Patty the washcloth and started into the living room when Piper tried once again to get him home.
�Daryl, it�s getting late. You should go home and get some sleep,� Piper said.
�I�m not leaving her�she�s like my sister,� Daryl said.
�You have a wife and children, and I don�t want you to miss them because of us,� Piper said.
�Piper I�m not leaving,� Daryl said going back into the living room with a wet cold cloth.
�Cole you can get up and move around, I�ve noticed you haven�t moved since Leo left,� Victor said.
�No, I�m not leaving her side,� he said. Prue knew how to get him up and help at the same time.
�Cole, could you do me a huge favor,� Prue asked.
�Sure anything,� Cole said looking at her.
�I need you to see what kind of demons or warlock would do this, I know I may be wrong but this has demonic all over it and the book is not helping,� Prue said.
�Yea, I�ll go right away,� Cole said kissing Phoebe on the head, than shimmered out.
�What�how did he,� Victor asked. Prue looked at him and she had to explain.
�Cole half demon Dad,� Prue said and Victor could not believe what he was hearing.
�Dad are you Ok,� Prue asked.
�Daryl is mortal right,� Victor asked.
�Yes dad,� Prue said.
Leo had been trying everything to get the elders to help, but they would not allow any. He walked out and heard a few of his friends talking about the charmed ones. There was Cliff, Alex and Vera and he started to understand what was going on but he only hoped he was wrong.
�She should be punished for carrying the child of Beltazore,� Vera said.
�Alex,� Leo whispered and he walked towards Leo.
�Leo,� Alex said softly.
�Why are you three watching Phoebe,� Leo asked.
�I heard you Piper got married�� Alex said trying to change the subject.
�Shut up�if you know what happen to Phoebe let me know now, or they�ll find out about�� Leo said.
�They�re testing her�as you know she carries the child of Beltazore and they want to know if her love for him is true,� Alex said.
Cliff and Vera left when they saw Leo and Alex knew it was Safe to tell him about The Elders plans. Leo knew Phoebe was pregnant because Whitelighters knew when their charges become pregnant. Alex just watch Leo for a few moments and felt envy for because he wasn�t as brave as he was.,
�Watch her carefully Leo, because if Cliff and Vera have their way the child will not be born. Unlike most of the Whitelighters here I am truly happy for you,� Alex said
�I wouldn�t change anything and you should watch Shelly,� Leo said.
�I know cherish your time together,� Alex said then orbed out.
Prue stood there waiting for Cole to return while he father was still trying to get used to the idea of Cole being a demon. Cole the shimmered in and found Prue and told her that he found no evidence that this was a demonic thing.
�Cole last month when I found you, I truly never thought I�d trust or care about you. But some how you have worked your way in to my heart and from this day on you are apart of this family,� Prue said and he smiled he knew mow he finally had all their trust and acceptance.
� Prue I think you should tell your Dad about me, he looking at me and I�m getting a little nervous, because an angry father is worse than any demon,� Cole said and Prue left to explain the situation to her father and she knew this was going to be fun.
�Cole, I trust you and I know you will take care of my daughter, but remember that your souls are connected as Leo and Piper�s are. As Prue said once you came back you became part of this family, and I hope you will remember that, because once they decide I�m gone and can only see them from up above and I know that when Phoebe wakes up your life will never be the same,� Patty said giving him a hug.
Cole thought this was strange all of sudden they told him that they accepted him, then he thought this might of reminded them, that they are mortal and mortals don�t have for-ever. Phoebe still lied on the couch, he felt as if she really wasn�t here that some how she was taken away from him.
�Phoebe I know you can hear me so please just listen�In all my life I have never loved as I love you, never seen a smile that made my heart melt. When I first met you I hated everyday that I lived that lie. But for some reason I never wanted it to end, never wanted to say goodbye, but I knew it would. Now I sit here with the blessing of Prue and Patty. Piper and Leo accepted me along time ago and Penny understands our love. Daryl and Jack are still getting used to the whole demon and witch idea, and Victor just found out the truth about me so it may take him a while. Phoebe I need you to come back to me, to show me that our live belong together, I love you Phoebe Halliwell now and forever,� Cole said and Victor had heard the whole thing when he was going to talk to Cole.
�Cole, I understand you love her, but it may take me awhile to truly accept this,� Victor said and Cole nodded kind of nervous and embarrassed about what he just heard.
�Leo,� Cole said.
�What happen,� Piper said as Leo chose not to tell every detail, but still gave them the basic information.
�She being tested, to see if her love for Cole is true or not. She�ll be back soon, don�t worry,� Leo said.
Patty had convinced Daryl to go home, but he swore to return in the morning and they were to call if she woke up. Jack was holding Prue again, and Leo was Holding Piper. Victor was sitting next to Cole who had taken his sit holding Phoebe hand, while Patty and Grams behind them.
�Patty why don�t you sit,� Cole said moving over a little.
�Thank you, but I�m fine,� Patty said.
�No, Cole is right Mom,� Prue said.
Patty took a sit on the other side of Cole and just watched her family for a few minutes. As the minutes pass they became sleepy and knew they had to sleep. Prue and Jack went to her room, Piper and Leo went their room, Victor left for his new apartment, but like Daryl agreed to back once the sun came up. Prue told Cole to sleep in Phoebe�s room, but he gave that up to Patty, while he slept on the floor next to Phoebe.
�That not going to be very comfortable,� Patty said.
�Trust me I�ve had worse and Piper going to bring a blanket and pillow for me,� Cole said.
And Piper did just that, three quilts for him to lie on, two soft blanket to cover him up and two pillows for his head. Cole decided to give one of the blankets and pillows to Phoebe and they all began their night of dreamless sleep. They all knew this was not going to be over when they woke but without sleep they couldn�t do anything.
Phoebe could feel her stomach and it hurt the pain just would not go away, it just kept getting worse and worse. The elders put the idea in Grams head for the sleeping spell so they could bring her up here with out them knowing. She clenched on to her stomach and held all her strength to say one word.
�NO,� she said in a harsh gasp.
�I told you before Ms. Halliwell you have a choice�your child or Beltazore,� Vera said as phoebe looked at Vera, Phoebe hair was a mess, she was sweating, she felt as if someone had ran her over, and she had not eaten in what seemed like days.
�No, I will not give either of them up,� Phoebe said as she fell to the ground and she left with a smile across his face.
�She is strong the strongest I�ve seen in awhile, take her to rest and eat,� Vera said and Alex walked in to see Phoebe and a frown came to his face.
�Phoebe, the hardest part is over, come let get you some clothes and food,� Alex said in an almost whisper.
She followed not taking any of his help even when he offered it to her. Alex looked at her and was amazed, how could she be so strong, to want to give her life for someone she�s never met, but then again this was her child and it live inside of her. Elders made it to wear whatever she said they could not hear.
�How does it feel to have the one you love�to know all you have to do is call and they�ll come�to wake up next to them and know everything will be alright,� Alex asked.
�Well it not like that with me and Cole. He always running from the Source, but when he there I�m the happiest I could ever be. I know each time when I wake up I would die for him and know if I have to I�ll die for my child�our child,� Phoebe said.
He looked at her and knew why Leo loved Piper if she was anything like Phoebe. Alex smiled and thought of Shelly she kind of had Shelly spirit. But Shelly had auburn hair and Jade green eyes. She was strong and beautiful to any ones eyes. She had this strength that came across by just looking at her and her smile was as sweet as a child�s. They had fallen in love when he became her friends Whitelighter and had to watch them. She was a mortal not a witch, but she knew of witches, demons�and Whitelighters. He swore that somehow someway they would be together again. One this was over he knew that he had to give up his wings to her, to love her forever. Phoebe looked at him and smiled she could tell he was thinking of someone she just couldn�t tell who.
�So what her name,� Phoebe asked and he smiled and touched her hand and then she gasped.
(Alex was outside of a house, when a woman come out and ran they hugged and kissed and it was a happy reunion, especially when a two year old came out.)
�Go to her, and you�ll be happy for what you find,� Phoebe said.
�Her name is Shelly�and thanks,� Alex said and then he left and she closed her eyes and thought of Cole.
�Cole, I heard what you said and maybe you can hear this. I love you now and forever. And I will fight forever to return to you and my sisters. So if you hear this just remember that if you close you eyes and think of me I can hear you,� Phoebe said in her mind.
�Her love for Cole is true, but the child must not be born. The Warren powers must not be mix with the evil of a demon,� Cliff said.
�But the elders said�� Alex said as he saw that they were not going to listen to him, so he orbed to Leo.
�Leo, they are going to hurt Phoebe and her,� Alex said but couldn�t bring him self to say it.
�Let�s go,� Leo said looking at Piper.
�Leo you know that Phoebe is�� Piper said.
�Yes, did you tell everyone but me,� Leo asked.
�No mom figured it out and she told me. She wanted to wait until after the wedding to everyone else and you should go,� Piper said urgently and he kissed her and Alex began to fill the pain of loss once again.
�Leo, they would not harm her,� one of the elders said.
�Yes, they would, they�re planning on giving Phoebe back but not her child,� Leo said.
Alex knew he had to go in and say something, Leo was a Whitelighter know for breaking the rules and no fearing the elders so Alex walk in ready to give up everything for Phoebe and Shelly.
�Leo is telling the truth, I was the one who was to bring her down to earth after they take the child away,� Alex said and with a wave of a one of the elders hand Phoebe was in front of Leo, Alex, and the elders.
�Leo�Alex what is happening,� Phoebe said and Alex gave him the Ok to tell her.
�You and child will be able to go back to earth�unharmed and protected by the elders,� Leo said giving her a hug.
�Until the child is born you will be protected. And the child will be protected until it�s 10th birthday,� one elder said and Phoebe looked at the elders and smiled.
�Bless it be,� Phoebe said.
�As a gift for your strength we give Cole, back his human life�to the human realm nothing ever happen to Cole Turner and this way he will be undetected by the demon,� a younger one said and Phoebe looked confused.
�Why, I thought you wanted him destroyed,� Phoebe asked.
�He was also tested and never went back to his demon ways to help you, he has proven himself able to be your husband and father of your child,� one said and they started to leave when Alex stopped them.
�We know Alex, and we understand�so an identity has been made for you�you are young and will have a good life with Shelly�and your daughter Kat,� they said
�My daughter,� Alex said s he was then orbed down to her
The Leo took Phoebe hand and they too orbed back to the manor, but for Phoebe it was a little different since half way down there she disappeared and was put back into her body. Of course by earth time it was 7:00 in the morning and Daryl and Victor were already there.
�Everyone she awake,� Cole yelled.
He saw Phoebe up and stretching as everyone ran in and hugged and kissed her. She then explained about the test, Leo, Alex and the elders. They all looked at her knowing there was something she was not telling them. She knew it was now or never that she Cole and everyone about the baby.
�I�ll tell you the main reason why I was up there in a second, but can I have a few minutes alone with Cole,� Phoebe said and they all left knowing something was not good.
�Cole I love you, and I want to be a major part of your life. I know this gift is a little much and the real reason I was taken is because�now only Piper, Leo and my mom know this so we can tell everyone else and see there faces,� Phoebe said.
�Phoebe all I know is that I have a connection with you, I heard the message you sent me. So Phoebe Ann Halliwell will you marry me,� Cole said and she was surprised she had not expected this.
�Marry you, Yes I'll marry you Cole Turner and Cole I�m Pregnant,� Phoebe said and he also was surprised,
�Well I guess we�ll have to move in to a bigger place than,� Cole said while Jack and Prue were in the Kitchen alone waiting for Cole and Phoebe to finish.
�Prue, move in with me,� Jack said and she looked at him and smiled.
�Are you sure,� Prue said.
�Lets look at the facts, you spent most of the last few weeks at my place, so we should move in and be happy,� Jack said.
�Jack as much as I want to�I can�t live that far away from my sisters,� Prue said.
�Right, than I guess I�ll have to say yes to the woman who offered me the house across the street,� Jack said and Prue smiled and gave him a kiss.
�Yes, I�ll move in with you,� Prue said.
Patty was talking to Victor telling him that all he had to do was pray and she would send him some kind of sign as what to do. Penny also said this, but not as nice as Patty said it. Daryl of course was standing next to Victor who knew that this was going to be what their life would be like for now on. At least they both were mortal and could live with that there was another mortal who knew their secrets.
�You know Cole and Jack also mortal too,� Grams said.
�That good now we have 3 witches, a Whitelighter, a dead woman, a ghost and 4 mortals here,� Daryl said.
�Usually I�m not here,� Patty said.
�Everyone, come back in her,� Phoebe said and they all did just that.
�Hurry your mothers only has a few moments left,� Grams said.
�First, Cole and I are getting married, and then I told him the real reason why I was sent up there�I�m Pregnant,� Phoebe said everyone gave her and Cole a hug.
�Wait, I have announcement to make also,� Prue said looking at Jack and smiling.
�Jack and I will be moving in together across the street,� Prue said.
The sister started to talk about Phoebe wedding and how they could decorate Prue�s house. Daryl had to leave because he had three reports due and Cole, Jack, Leo, and Victor just left and talked and get away from the woman. Since it was Sunday, neither Prue nor Phoebe had to be into work or school. They all said goodbye to their mother and grandmother who they would see someday. The elders said that they would allow Alex to marry Shelly and became part of her life if he stayed her friend�s Whitelighter. He agreed and finally got to meet his two year-old daughter, Kathryn or Kat as most people call her. Alex�s family and the Halliwells became good friends.
The End
