Disclaimer: I don't own any of these characters at all.so don't sue me.
Okay, this is set after season 4, a few months later. I got a bit of an idea from stuff I've read about the new season. Piper isn't pregnant. Cole is not in the wastelands, but isn't with Phoebe. Oh, also, the first scene is in court.and I have absolutely no idea how cases work, or any of the language used.so bear with the ignorant.
Chapter 1
Phoebe Halliwell waltzed into the court room and was stopped by the harsh voice of the judge, asking why she was so late.
"I'm sorry your honour.I ran into a little trouble." An understatement for the fact that a demon had nearly electrocuted her. She glanced slightly at Cole, before tearing her eyes away and sitting down. This divorce was what was right. That's what Phoebe believed anyway. This way Cole couldn't hurt her anymore. The fact that she still loved him more than life itself didn't matter. Not at all. The safety of her, and her sisters was all that mattered, or whatever other excuse she had to use to make herself believe it was for the best. Once again she looked up at him, surprised by the fact that he was looking at her too.
".Miss Halliwell!" Phoebe burst out of her thoughts.
"Um, yes?" She asked.
"Mr Turner has advised me that you are the only reason this divorce is going forward." The judge said.
"If it was up to me it wouldn't be going forward." Cole added in.
The judge frowned and continued. "Are you sure you are ready to do this?" He asked. Phoebe hesitated.
"I.well." She struggled to get the words out.
"Mr Turner had revealed that the reason the divorce is even happening is because of some problems the two of you have encountered. Is that true?" The judge asked.
"Um.yes. To say the least." She glared at Cole, who's expression was unreadable.
"Well then, I recommend marriage counselling for the two of you." Phoebe cut him off.
"What?! No.I came here to get this over with!" She shouted.
"Miss Halliwell, keep your voice down. I have only been told that you are having problems in your marriage. What that problem is, none of you care to share. So unless you are willing to come up with a logical reason why you want this demolished, I am booking a compulsory session for the two of you. No objections allowed. Court is adjourned." The judge then stood and walked out of the room, leaving a stunned Phoebe.well, stunned.
"He's right you know. You haven't even told me why you want this divorce. It's unlikely that it will take place without a logical reason." Phoebe's lawyer stated.
"You know what.never mind. Just get out of my was before I say something I'll regret. Now is not a good time to mess with me." She stood and briskly walked out of the building, not sparing a glance at her husband.
"Phoebe! Wait!" Phoebe kept walking. Knowing very well who the voice belonged to. A hand grabbed her arm preventing her from walking any further and forcing her to stop. Without turning around she said,
"Cole, just leave me alone, alright? You got what you wanted. We're still married.just leave it."
"I can't. I want to know why you're so eager to get this done so soon!" He said. Phoebe turned around.
"You know why. You tried to kill me and my sisters!" She lowered her voice when she saw the heads that turned in their direction.
"You know that wasn't me. The source is gone now. He's not coming back." Cole said.
"You don't know that Cole. At any moment the demon in you could surface." She stated. She tried to conceal her tears, then turned around and walked away.
"I'm not giving up on us! I will get you back Phoebe, if it's the last thing I do!" Cole shouted to his retreating wife. 'I will." He said to himself. But the truth was he wasn't sure. He had no right to ask Phoebe to love him, not anymore. But he could try.
Piper heard the door slam loudly before a furious Phoebe entered the kitchen. "Why hello Pandora. What can I do for you?" Piper asked. Phoebe glared at her sister in a way that clearly read, 'Don't mess with me'.
"I take it today didn't go well?" Piper said.
"Marriage counselling! The damned judge scheduled marriage counselling for us! No divorce, just a demon, a witch and a shrink sitting together in one room! And Cole.the nerve.I don't think I'm ever going to be free of that son of a." Phoebe was cut off. "Why all the shouting? Oh.case not go well?" Paige asked as she walked into the room. Phoebe growled and trundled out the room and upstairs to the attic.
"What did I say?" Paige asked confused.
"Our family still contains a demon. And from the looks of things, he's not leaving any time soon." Piper explained. The doorbell rang.
"I'll get it." Paige said. She opened the door to reveal a large bunch of flowers.
"Miss Halliwell?" The delivery man asked.
"Which one?" Paige asked.
"Excuse me?" The man said. Paige forced a smile.
"Which Halliwell?" She asked.
"Um.Only the first initial: 'P'."
"Useful." Paige said sarcastically. She grabbed the flowers and signed the clipboard the man handed her. Then she searched for an envelope amongst the many flowers. She eventually found a small envelope, with Phoebe's name on it. 'Any guess who these are from' she thought to herself.
Phoebe was flipping through the Book of Shadows when Paige walked in holding a massive bouquet of flowers.
"Oh know. That's the third one he's sent in one week." Phoebe said. She grabbed the flowers and threw them in the bin, not bothering to read the note. She knew what it would say. Something along the lines of "I love you" or, "I'm not giving up on us". She'd seen it before. She then continued leafing through the book.
"Um.ok. I won't ask. What are you doing?" Paige asked.
"Maybe if I just vanquished him again.he'd be gone. He can't hang on forever, can he?" Phoebe talked as if she was talking to herself.
"Um.honey, that isn't going to solve anything. We tried that before, remember?"
Paige said. Phoebe left the book and slouched down on the couch defeated.
"I guess this whole marriage counselling thing might work. As long as you prove to the shrink that you don't love Cole anymore." Paige suggested. Phoebe figured that sounded so much easier than it would actually be. Paige, out of suggestions left the room. Phoebe sat thinking for a few minutes, before her eyes fell on the abandoned flowers. Leaning forward the picked up the envelope, only to be drawn into a premonition. She saw a man, standing alone in an alley. It was night. Piper and Paige came racing around the corner, and then started trying to convince the man to leave with them. Phoebe concluded that the man must be an innocent. She gasped as Cole shimmered into the alley, and threw an energy ball at the man. She was pulled out of the premonition before the man was hit.
"Oh my god." She whispered.
Okay! So review and tell me what you all think! Force me to write another chapter soon! REVIEW!
