I got his idea when I was listing to Evanescence's My Immortal, it sounded like the perfect sad Piper/Leo song.
Piper Halliwell sat in her bedroom on the second floor of the Halliwell Manor clutching a picture of her husband, Leo Wyatt. Tears trickled slowly down her face as she came to grips with the realization that she would probably never see him again.
He had gone "up there" for good. The Elders had probably been planning this for years. They had been against the union from the beginning, claiming that it was wrong for a witch to marry her whitelighter.
Well, screw them all, Piper thought. She'd thought that she'd fallen out of love for Leo when her first became an elder, but now, months later, when he left for good, it finally hit home for Piper that she was never going to see him again.
All those years, when she had stood by him and he her through thick and thin. She had risked Unspeakable Wrath for him, goddamnit. And how did her return her love? He left her.
But she knew she could never be truly angry with him, he had left to save lives, help the greater good. But that didn't stop the gut-wrenching pain she felt in her heart. In a way that made it worse, that she could never truly hate him. She couldn't even hate him for leaving Wyatt fatherless or even for leaving Chris.
Piper put a hand to her abdomen, Chris was in there. She had found out only hours ago that he was her son, that Leo had not only left Wyatt, but he had left Chris, too. And Piper would be all alone to raise two boys. Well, not all alone, she had her sisters.
But it wasn't the same.
They would grow up without a father to teach them how to tie their shoes, how to throw a baseball, and to tuck them into bed at night. And that added to the gut-wrenching pain in her heart, the knowledge that her little boys would grow up like she did, fatherless.
But she would never go back on her decision to let Leo leave without telling him about Chris. It wouldn't be right. It was hard enough for him to leave her and Wyatt; he didn't need to know that he was leaving behind another son.
Before now he had always been there for Wyatt, even when she asked him not to be there for her. But that made it worse, that he lurked around as she tried to more on. He was always there, just out of reach when all she wanted to do was throw herself into his arms and beg him to come back.
But he never would come back and Piper admired his dedication to the innocents, but sometimes the small selfish part of her just wanted her husband back and for him to be hers, all hers with no innocents vying for his attention.
But that could never be, neither of them would really want that in the long run. They were both too caught up in the fight against evil to be content to just sit by and watch evil happen. As much as Piper wanted a normal life she just couldn't ignore all the innocents in need.
Sure, she may bitch about wishing it all would go away, but she wouldn't trade her time with Leo for anything. Even with all the demons attached.
And she was sure about one thing, she would always love him.
No matter what.
