Charmed

 "When Phoebe discovers that she is pregnant with the Source’s child, her heart is in turmoil. Intellectually, she knows that the child carries within it the darkness – a result of Cole becoming The Source. But emotionally, Phoebe cannot completely separate it. Deep down, she wants to believe that the child is still a part of Cole – the man she loves with all her heart.

For Phoebe, it is like the “last piece” of Cole left before he is completely consumed by the darkness. That belief makes her both sad and hopeful: if this child really does carry within it a part of Cole’s kind soul, perhaps their love still has a chance to be saved.

The story touches the hearts of viewers because it depicts a love that is both beautiful and tragic. Phoebe not only fights against fate, but also against her own heart – between her responsibility to her sisters, to goodness, and her love for Cole.

That child, though never born, still became a symbol of a tragic love: a love so strong that it made Phoebe sacrifice her reason, clinging to the fragile hope that Cole – the man she loved – was still somewhere in the darkness."
