A/N: Ok. First off, you know the episode Black as Cole? Well in this Charmed world of mine that power striping DID NOT happen. Instead, bounty hunters tracked Cole until the Charmed and Dangerous episode. After that, the Source stuff with Cole NEVER happened either. Instead of the Dark Wedding at the end of Merry Go- Round, Grams preformed Phoebe and Cole’s wedding ceremony. The Seer also NEVER told Cole he was going to have a son. Phoebe and Cole had a daughter two months before Piper and Leo. Paige is now engaged to Glen. Phoebe IS working at that job as the advice columnist like on the show. (This also has two views to it. Phoebe’s view and Cole’s view). You should be able to tell which view is whose by who says what and who they are with. I can. Nevertheless, I am the one writing this story.

Setting:


~~~Just before season 5~~~
~~~The Manor~~~
~~~Kitchen~~~

Prologue:

“Paige! Breakfast is ready! And if you don’t hurry up, you will be late for work AGAIN!” My oldest sister Piper Halliwell-Wyatt called from our kitchen.
“Coming! Piper, you DO know that I do not have to go to work at the same time as last year.” Our youngest sister Paige Matthews-Halliwell said coming into our kitchen.
“Geese. Both of you. You sound like two year olds.” I said.
My name is Phoebe Halliwell-Turner. Speaking of two year olds there are two ALMOST one year olds in our house.
“Besides Glen is picking me up.” Paige said.
Glen is Paige’s TO BE husband. They have been best friends since kindergarten.
“Lucky you.” Piper said handing Paige a plate of pancakes.
Ring . . . Ring.
“Hello?” Piper asked, “Yah.”
Just then, Piper hands me the phone.
“Hello?” I asked.
“Hi, Phoebe.” Cole replied.
“Hey, Cole.” I said, “How is your trip?” I asked.
“Great. How is Kellie?” Cole asked.
“Great also. She misses you.” I replied.
“Yah well I bet she’s not the only one.” Cole said.
“She’s not.” I said as both Paige and Piper walked out of the kitchen, “Piper and Paige started fighting again.”
“Not good. So what have you and Kellie done this past week?” Cole asked.
“Not much. Kellie went to Alexis’ house while I was at work this whole week so far.” I replied.
“So are you working from home today?” Cole asked.
“Yes. Kellie got sick while she was at Alexis’ yesterday.” I replied.
“Not good for a almost one year old.” Cole said.

~~When the visions around you~~
~~Bring tears to your eyes~~
~~And all that surrounds you~~
~~~Are secrets and lies~~

“Yah. Kellie isn’t the only one sick either.” I said.
“Who else is?” Cole asked.
“Melinda. She went there yesterday also.” I replied.
“So there are two sick almost one year olds.” Cole said.
“Exactly.” I said.
“I just phoned to say that I leave tomorrow.” Cole said.
“Are you flying?” I asked.
“No.” Cole replied.
“You’ll get here faster then.” I said.
“That’s why I’m not flying.” Cole agreed.
“Kay so I have to get the column done by 5:00 p.m. plus pick up some stuff for Kellie and Melinda.” I said.
“Kay. Bye, Phoebe.” Cole said.
“Bye, Cole.” I said.


“What was with that conversation?” Another lawyer asked me.
“Why do you want to know?” I asked him.
“Just wondering.” Kyle (the lawyer) replied.
“Yah well I can have weird conversations with people if I want to.” I said.
“OK. Fine. But what’s with you answering questions with questions?” Kyle asked.
“Umm, maybe cause I like to.” I replied.
“Sure. I used to do that.” Kyle’s wife said, “Whom were you talking to anyway?”
“Phoebe.” I replied.
“And she couldn’t come because?” Kyle asked.
“A almost one year old and a job.” I replied.

~~I’ll be your strength~~
~~I’ll give you hope~~
~~Keeping your faith when it’s gone~~
~~The one you should call~~
~~Was standing here all along~~

“So what’s not good for a almost one year old?” Kyle asked.
“You ask more question out of court than you do in court. She’s sick.” I replied.

Part 1:

“Pheebs, you got to come home like NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” Piper said over the phone at 4:59 p.m. that afternoon.
“Why?????????????????” I asked.
“Just come home!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” Piper replied.
“I’ll be there soon.” I said.
Little did I know that Kellie AND Melinda would both end up at SFMCH before they were EVEN one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I guess none of us knew that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Nevertheless, they did!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not even one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Kellie may be older but she had to stay in longer. Dr. Richardson kept Melinda overnight but released her the next day. They would not tell us anything about Kellie. The next day while I was sitting outside of the room Kellie was in, Cole walked up.
“Hey, Phoebe. Paige told me you would be here.” Cole said.
“I am. I never went home last night.” I said, “Cole, they won’t tell me anything!”
“She’ll be ok.” Cole said reassuringly.
“What if she’s not??????????” I asked.
“Then she’s not. Phoebe, even if she’s not now she can be.” Cole said as Dr. Richardson walked up.
“I’ve come up with some possible reasons for Kellie having to stay in the hospital.” Dr. Richardson said.
“What??????????” I asked.
“Well I’m positive that it is cancer.” Dr. Richardson replied.


~~And I will take you in my arms~~
~~And hold you where you belong~~
~~’Till the day my life is through~~
~~This I promise you~~
~~This I promise you~~

“You’re kidding.” I said.
“No I’m not, Mr. Turner.” Dr. Richardson said.

That afternoon I finally left the hospital cause Cole practically begged me to. However, I really did not expect to end up here. I am at the one place I used to hang out at when I was a teenager.
‘WHY did this have to happen to Kellie?????????’ I wondered while walking through the park.
‘You should know that by now that life ISN’T fair.’ A voice told me.
‘Just because Mom died, then Grams and then Prue?’ I wondered.
‘Yes.’ The voice told me.
‘Yah well why should I listen to you?’ I asked the voice.
“Hey, Phoebe.” A friend said.
“Hey, Cami.” I said.
“What have you been up to since the 10 year reunion two years ago?” Cami asked.
“A lot. Prue died last year, Piper and I found a half sister, and Piper and Leo got married.” I replied, “What happened in your life since then?????????”
“I got married and had a baby.” Cami said.
“Girl or boy??????????????????????????” I asked.
“Girl. We named her Amanda.” Cami replied.
“Cool.” I said.
“So what else have you been up to since two years ago??????????” Cami asked.
“I’m married and have a daughter, I’m an advice columnist.” I replied.
“Cool.” Cami said.

~~I’ve loved you forever~
~~In lifetimes before~~
~~And I promise you never~~
~~Will you hurt any more~~

Ok. So, that is part 1 of This I Promise You. I WILL write more. However, it probably will not be posted until Thursday after Charmed.

Part 2:
A couple days later, the tests came back. At 5: 23 p.m. Sunday April 7, 2002, Dr. Richardson phoned the Manor.
“Hello?????????????????” I asked.
“I s this Phoebe Halliwell-Turner?” Dr. Richardson asked.
“Yes.” I replied.
“Good. The tests came back and I’d like to speak to you and your husband.” Dr. Richardson said.
“We’ll be right there.” I said.
”Kay.” Dr. Richardson said, “Bye.”
Just then, I heard the dial tone. A day later Dr. Richardson did more tests and started Kellie on her treatment for Leukemia.
“I won’t lie to you. The chemo will make Kellie VERY sick.” Dr. Richardson said.
‘Oooh. More GREAT news.’ I thought sarcastically.
“That’s good to know.” Piper said.
‘How can Piper think that anything about this is good to know??????????’ I wondered.

~~I give you my word~~
~~I give you my heart~~
~~This is a battle we’ve won~~
~~And with this vow~~
~~Forever has now begun~~

“Look I’ll be starting her chemo tomorrow.” Dr. Richardson said.
‘Ooh. Still more GREAT news.’ Me being sarcastic again.

~~Just close your eyes~~
~~Each lovin’ day~~
~~And know this feeling won’t go away~~
~~’Till the day my life is through~~
~~This I promise you~~
~~This I Promise you~~

Part 3:

‘Cole is gone on a business trip again and Kellie is sick. What am I to do?’ I wondered.
‘Do what you think Piper or any of you would do in your case.’ A voice replied.
‘How?’ I wondered.
‘All I know is that you’ll get through it.’ The voice replied.

~~Over and over I fall~~
~~When I hear you call~~
~~Without you in my life, baby~~
~~I just wouldn’t be living at all~~

‘Oh great! Just what I need.’ I thought on my flight to Arizona to settle a case.
“What are you thinking about?” The guy on my right asked.
“Not much.” I replied.
‘Look, It is not as if I knew this guy or anything and strangers really do not need to know my personal stuff.’ I told myself.
“Why are you going to Arizona?” The guy asked.
“I’m a lawyer. I have a case to finish there.” I replied.
‘Jeez, this guy should be a lawyer.’ I thought.
“I’m a lawyer too. Actually, I was just on business in San Francisco. I actually live in Arizona. Where in Arizona are you going?” The guy asked, “By the way my name is Clark.”
“Tucson.” I replied.
“I live there.” Clark said.
“Really. So what case were you working on in SF?” I asked.
“Some international banking thing.” Clark replied, “What case are you working on in Tucson?”
“A robbery thing. The lawyer my boss actually sent there got sick so he sent me.” I replied.
“Ah so what work do you specialize in?” Clark asked.
“Mostly family crisis cases. Although I do other stuff to. I mostly handle divorce and custody cases.” I replied, “What do you specialize in?”
“Murder cases.” Clark replied.
“So how did your case in SF go?” I asked.

~~And I will take you in my arms~~
~~And hold you right where you belong~~
~~’Till the day my life is through~~
~~This I Promise you, baby~~

“What!?!” I asked confused.
“Kellie has gone into a coma. She could come out of it but she might not.” Dr. Richardson told Piper, Leo, Paige and me.
“Doctor, if she does come out how long until then do you think she’ll come out?” Piper asked.
“Can’t tell.” Dr. Richardson replied, “Every patient is different.”
‘Help!’ Was all I could think and that I should phone Cole or tell him when he phoned.

Wait to see what happens next in this story. It may be good or it may be bad. It just depends on what I want to happen. After all, I am the writer of this story. Part 4 may also be posted today.

Part 4:

“Hey, Pheebs. Phone is for you.” Piper said walking into the room with the cordless.
“Who is it?” I asked.
“It’s Cole.” Piper replied.
“Kay. Hi.” I said.
“Hi, Phoebe. What’s up?” Cole asked as Piper left the room.
“Kellie is in a coma and Dr. Richardson doesn’t know if she’ll come out. Or when she will.” I replied.
“Not good. Well I could come back if you want.” Cole said.
“No stay. I’ll tell you what’s happening with Kellie.” I said.
“Kay. But really I CAN come if you need me to.” Cole said.
“Thanks. But you don’t have to.” I said.
“Kay. Bye, Phoebe.” Cole said.
“Bye, Cole.” I said before hanging up.

‘Oh great!’ I thought.
‘Well if you really want to leave than you should.’ A voice told me.
‘Are you kidding?’ I asked the voice.
‘No. I’m not.” The voice replied.
‘Whatever.’ I told the voice before blocking it out.
Ring . . . Ring.
“Hello?” I asked.
“Hello, Cole.” My boss replied.
“Hi, Mr. Carson.” I said.
“I have decided that I want you to take a break. Have some vacation time. I’ll send Kyle out for that case.” Mr. Carson said.
“But I’m already here.” I said.
“Not to worry. I bought you a ticket back.” Mr. Carson said.
“Thanks. When will Kyle be here to take over the case? It starts tomorrow.” I asked.
“He’s flying in right now.” Mr. Carson replied.
“Oh. What time does my flight leave?” I asked.
“5:00.” Mr. Carson replied.
After talking to Mr. Carson, I packed up my stuff, checked out of the hotel and took a taxi to the airport.. When Kyle’s plane got in mine was getting ready to leave so just as Kyle got off I got on. The flight back to SF was long and I read a book most of the way there. Once back in SF I took a taxi to the Manor and go there in time to go to the hospital with the rest.

Therefore, nothing bad happened there. However, the next part will be a different story. Hahn. I made myself laugh. PLEASE reply and tell me what you thought. The next part might be done today.
The final part of this story!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hope you like it.

Final Part:

When Cole, Piper, Leo, Paige and I all got to the hospital Dr. Richardson came up to us and told us that Kellie was not going to live. The next days were spent arranging for Kellie’s funeral. Ok. Yes, I know she was only JUST one. And it’s not like I could really stop her from dying. I guess deep inside I knew that as soon as Dr. Richardson told us she was in a coma that she wasn’t going to live. And I saw it in a premonition when I touched her favorite stuffy. A week after she had died we had the funeral. Now Kellie is with Mom, Grams and Prue. At least I know she’s safe in heaven with them.
“We are gathered here today to mourn the death of one year old Kellie Turner who died in a coma at San Francisco Memorial Children’s Hospital of leukemia. The doctor did everything humanly possible but only GOD can really take all illness away.” The pastor said.
‘Just get on with it.’ I thought.

After the funeral we all went to the cemetery and saw, Kellie’s casket lowered into the ground FOREVER. I am sure Melinda asked Piper and Leo a million questions about where her friend and cousin was.

~~Just close your eyes~~
~~Each lovin’ day~~
~~And know this feeling won’t go away~~
~~Every word I say is true~~
~~This I Promise you~~
~~I Promise you~~

“Phoebe, Kellie may be gone but she’s with family.” Cole said.
“I know but that still doesn’t make it easier. It’s been 2 years. Shouldn’t I be over it by now?” I asked.
“Not necessarily.” Cole said.
“Will I EVER get over it?” I asked.
