South Attic -- Early Monday Morning

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe slipped quietly out of bed so as not to waken Cole and went out into their living room. She sat on the couch and leaned her head back against it with a sigh. Cole was sleeping soundly and she was very happy about that. No nightmares or thrashing meant that they really had succeeded in killing the demon and the ghosts were gone.

She hadn't been completely sure that the entire thing was over -- even though she had stood by her sister when Piper finished the ritual and the demon was killed by their potion. She hadn't been completely sure that there were no more ghosts until she had spent the last couple of nights holding her boyfriend and seeing that he was finally resting without torments.

Thus, she had snuck out here early this morning. Cole needed sleep and she didn't want to bother him.

Okay, that wasn't entirely true.

She was still shaken by the things she had felt last week and what Lysistratas had done. Until this, she hadn't known there were demons like that out in the world.

It was an emotional wake-up call and she wondered if there were others like him out there?

This might mean she should step up her training and her studying of the book and other things in the library.

Cole woke up and snuggled closer to Phoebe. Only Phoebe wasn't there. Yawning, he got up from bed, pulled on his pajama bottoms (just in case), and padded out into the living room. "Hey, sweetheart," he said, coming up behind her and kissing the top of her head.

Phoebe looked up with a soft smile and reached her arms up and back to hug him. "Hello, love."

"How are you this morning?" he asked, moving around the couch and settling beside her.

Phoebe nodded and lay her head against him. "I'm alright. How are you? Did you sleep well?"

Okay, so she worried about him.

"I slept fine," he said. "No ghosts."

Phoebe's relief was visible and she nodded, wrapping an arm around him. "I'm glad. I didn't see you being restless, so I figured I'd let you be to sleep."

"I sleep better when you're there," he said, slipping his arm around her.

Phoebe smiled and leaned into him. "I sleep better when you're with me, too," she said softly.
