A/N: Hi guys, this is my new story. I just had this idea in my head for a few days so I decided to write it down. It is my way as I think this episode could have happened. I wanted this to be revelation fiction but I'm not sure yet. So go ahead and give it a chance :D
PS: I don't own any character or dialogues from Charmed.
AT MANOR/ PIPER'S ROOM
"I know you miss him. I miss him too," Piper was to her sweet boy.
"I need help," Chris said as he stepped into her room.
"Excuse me. This is my bedroom, you can't just walk in here anytime you want to."
"Yeah I know. But your sisters need you. I got them working on the Titans but I don't know how long that's gonna last," he talked while he was uneasily walking around the room.
"I thought you needed me," Piper said.
"I did. I mean I do. I need you because they need you. Actually, they need Leo. Look, will you just go deal with them?" he asked her politely.
"What's the matter? Chris, the all-knowing, running out of answers?" she teased him.
"Yes, yes I am. If that will motivate you, yes, I'm losing control. I'm watching history repeat itself and nobody is doing a damn thing about it!" he didn't want to argue or fight with his mother. It was really hard to see her alive after all these years. But what was he doing? Instead of going to hug her and be with her, they were arguing.
"I feel your frustration," Piper couldn't help herself. She knew that the boy was trying to save the world but right know Piper just needed one person, her husband, Leo.
Chris took a long breath to calm down a little before he started. "Piper, if it helps, I get it. Okay? I do. Really. You need Leo. Your sisters need Leo. But if you can't stop..." but he wasn't able to finish this sentence because Piper interrupted him.
"You forgot the baby. The baby needs his father too," Piper corrected him.
"Fine if you think so but for the record, he doesn't need him. He can be fine even without him. But that is not important right now because if you can't stop missing your husband long enough to see the bigger picture ..."
Piper doesn't let him finish this time either. "There is no bigger picture than my family.
Chris just couldn't take it any longer. He didn't even now that one person can be angry, frustrated but mostly sad at the same time. The emotions were boiling inside of him. " Well, then, pay attention, because the world I grew up in, families hardly existed. I never had a chance to know mine," tears were slowly creating from the moist in his eyes as he talked.
"Not my fault," Piper said stubbornly.
"Not yet," he sad with a weak voice.
" You blame us for what happened to you?" at that moment Piper was a little pissed because how should some stranger blame her for destroying his family? But she didn't notice until now the tears that were running down his cheeks. She did know him for less than 24 hours as a mother of a child she didn't like to see an expression like that. Full of sadness and hurt was written all over his face. He maybe looked like an adult but he was still a child. "Chris, I'm sorry if I hurt you somehow, but you don't get. My family is the only thing I really care right now."
"Please, just use your power of three. Save the world from going to hell."
"If that what you want, then I will say it one more time. We need Leo."
AFTER DEFEATING TITANS/ GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE
"Piper," Chris shouted at her when he orbed on the Golden Gate Bridge.
"Stay away from me," she answers without even looking at him.
"I will take you back to your family."
"What family?" she turned to him.
"Your sisters need you, even I do but what's more important Wyatt needs you. He just lost his dad, he can't lose you too. Every child needs a loving parent, at least one." It hurt him a little that he said that Wyatt is more important than him but right now it was truth.
They stood there for a while without any words. Piper was just looking at the sky staring on the devastating storm that came from her emotions. And Chris? He also ran out of words but he knew that he needs to convince his mom somehow. Deep down he knew there was only one thing he could say to convince her. He knew if he tells too much he could mess so many things but what other option left him? "Piper, I know how much you love your family, your son or how important is it. Believe me, I do, because even if you don't know that I really know you. I know what kind of person you are." She was just staring at him, but he could tell from her face that she was listening. "And just so you know you were never a person who would leave a kid without a parent if there was any other option. You never gave up, you always fought for your family. Why would you do it now? Just listen to me for a little longer. If you want to know my life wasn't so great. I had a loving mom, the best one I could ever wish for," he said it with undeniable love in his voice but that wasn't what made him smile. It was the hint of a smile on Piper's lips. "But on the other hand, my dad was a lost case. He never loved me as much as my sibling. He was never there for me not even at the moment I needed him the most. But I had my mom and that was enough." he finished his speech but unfortunately he couldn't hold the tears. Maybe he never wanted to let other know how hurt he truly is. How broken he was indeed, but now he couldn't deny it. Who would be able to do it after saying the story of your messed life to your dead mother?
"Why are you telling me all of this?" Piper asked him without anger in her voice.
He was shocked by her question. It was maybe the need for a mother he lost at least he thought so. " I'm telling you all of this because it doesn't matter how much I loved my mom. I can't run to her for one simple reason," but he couldn't look into her eyes and make himself say it aloud. So he bowed his head and stared at the construction of the bridge before he said it. "She is d-dead." After this tears were falling down his face like a waterfall but he didn't care.
On the other side, Piper was feeling even worse after hearing the boy's story. She didn't know what to do or say.
Chris continued as soon as he found his now shaky voice again. "So I'm asking you, no I'm begging you. Go back home to your son. He needs you more than anything else right now. Don't leave him alone like I was. There one is of many things you have in common with my mom. She maybe left me but she didn't have any other option but you have," after that he orbed away, leaving her alone. He knew that now after he said everything he wanted to it was on her. He could only wait.
Piper was indeed amazed by a number of emotions that she felt after hearing the story. She knew that he was right, that she would never leave her boy if there was any other option. She also knew she needs to go back but losing Leo hurt so much. It hurt almost as much as losing Prue. It was time to go back home but she decided to stay a little longer. She sat down on the edge of the bridge and looked up at the sky. With tears in her eyes and broken voice, she called his name one last time. "Leo."
THE END FOR NOW
A/N: I don't know if I should continue. If you like it and you would want to read more just let me know. I feel like I could write more but also that is could be enough. Please let me know what did you like and what you didn't.
