44 Blueberry Hill, Friday Night

[sleepswthdemons]

Phoebe was sitting on the couch with her feet curled beneath her. She had had a hormonal fit earlier and shortly thereafter, a box of chick flick DVDs had appeared in the bedroom. That would be why there was one playing on the tv right now and she was sniffling into a kleenex.

Phoebe's eyes filed with tears. "You hate my movie choices," she wibbled.

[holdingontolove.livejournal.com]

"No, no!" Cole said quickly. "I meant later! After this one. And any other one you want to watch."

[sleepswthdemons.livejournal.com]

She sniffled. "I was thinking we could watch that movie about the treasure hunters who end up stealing the Declaration of Independence.. if-if you still want to be with me."

Pregnant witch hormones. Weren't they great.

"Of course I want to be with you, love," Cole said, gently pressing his fingertips to her cheeks to wipe away her tears. "And that movie's fine, really." At least it wasn't Joy Luck Club or Ya Ya Sisterhood again.

"It has chases and gunfire and some explosions."

[holdingontolove.livejournal.com]

"As long as that's what you want, sweetheart," Cole said. Score! Action!

[sleepswthdemons.livejournal.com]

"The hero isn't as good as you, though. He never gets his girl ice cream."

[holdingontolove.livejournal.com]

Cole puffed out his chest. "Nobody's as good as me," he said.

[sleepswthdemons.livejournal.com]

"You're my demon and you're the best."

And he bought her ice cream even when she was freaking insane.

[holdingontolove.livejournal.com]

"And you're my witch," Cole said, hugging her closer.

[sleepswthdemons.livejournal.com]

Phoebe turned her face and kissed him.

Cole carefully took the container of ice cream out of Phoebe's hands and set it on the coffee table so he could lean in and take her fully in his arms.

[sleepswthdemons.livejournal.com]

Phoebe was happy to be in his arms and wrapped her own arms around him as they kissed.

Cole dropped his head to kiss her neck, then made a trail of kisses down her chest, ending with planting one on Phoebe's belly. "How are my girls?" he said.

[sleepswthdemons.livejournal.com]

Phoebe had tremors when he did that.

"Your girls are doing very well."

[holdingontolove.livejournal.com]

"All one, two, three of them?" Cole said, punctuating each number with another kiss to her belly.

[sleepswthdemons.livejournal.com]

She loved it when he did that. "Thea, Peri and Phoebe. They're all doing very well."

[holdingontolove.livejournal.com]

"Good," Cole murmured. "I want all my girls to be happy and safe and loved."

[sleepswthdemons.livejournal.com]

"We are," she said, leaning down to kis his head. "We most certainly are."

[holdingontolove.livejournal.com]

Cole moved to lay his head against her shoulder. "Are they active in there? Think they're going to keep us on our toes?"

[sleepswthdemons.livejournal.com]

"Sweetheart, they are most definitely going to keep us on our toes."

[holdingontolove.livejournal.com]

"Especially if they know how to shimmer," Cole said. "We're going to need to LoJack them."

[sleepswthdemons.livejournal.com]

Phoebe giggled. "We really might have to."

[holdingontolove.livejournal.com]

"Or some sort of magical shield on the house so they can't shimmer outside," Cole said. "I didn't start learning my powers until I was four years old, though."

[sleepswthdemons.livejournal.com]

"We were born with ours until Grams and Mom bound them."

[holdingontolove.livejournal.com]

"So who knows what the combination will do," Cole said, resting his hand on Phoebe's belly. "Maybe you won't need to go into labor. Maybe they'll shimmer out of the womb," he teased.

[sleepswthdemons.livejournal.com]

She looked at him and her eyes widened. "That's not funny!"

[holdingontolove.livejournal.com]

"Kidding!" Cole said, leaning in to kiss her.

[sleepswthdemons.livejournal.com]

Phoebe made a soft sound and kissed him.

[holdingontolove.livejournal.com]

"No shimmering, got that?" Cole said, looking down at Phoebe's stomach before kissing her again.

[sleepswthdemons.livejournal.com]

She ran her hand through his hair. "I love you."

[holdingontolove.livejournal.com]

"Love you, too, sweetheart," Cole said. "Love you so much."

[sleepswthdemons.livejournal.com]

She loved it when they were relaxed like this. "Even when I'm being a little psycho?"

[holdingontolove.livejournal.com]

"Mmm hmm," Cole said, touching his hand to her face. "Even then."

[sleepswthdemons.livejournal.com]

She smiled, leaning into his hand. "Best husband ever."

[holdingontolove.livejournal.com]

"Best wife and witch ever," Cole said, tracing her lips with his thumb.

[sleepswthdemons.livejournal.com]

She smiled happily at him, scooting closer.
