A/N: We don't own charmed.
Leo disappeared from the manor, and appeared 'up there'. Suddenly around him were of the other elders, Odin and Sandra.
" We warned you." Odin said. " We told you to keep your distance from her, and you didn't. Now she's pregnant."
" Yes, with my son." Leo told them. " This is just one more reason to give up being an elder."
" Being an elder is your calling." Odin argued.
" Not anymore, it isn't." Leo said. " It took me away from the people who need me the most. Being an elder isn't what I want, and I don't care if it's my destiny. Not anymore."
" If you feel that strongly about this…" Sandra spoke up.
" What, you agree to this foolishness?" Odin said, skeptically.
Sandra looked at him. " We can't go against his own will." She said. " It is not in our power. Even you know that."
Odin frowned. " I guess you're right." He said, not completely willing to give up, but he had to. Sandra was right; it wasn't anyone's choice but Leo's.
" Very well then." Sandra said. " Leo, you know that once you give this up, there is no turning back. You realize that you will not be able to become a whitelighter again?"
" I realize that." Leo said. " I'd rather be mortal than live a life as a magical being without the people who mean the most to me."
" Then, you know what you have to do." Odin said. " You must fall from grace. If you choose to do this, we will guide you to the bridge."
" I'm going to do this." Leo said, sure of what he was going to do.
The three of them orbed out, arriving at the top of the golden gate bridge.
The bridge was a place Leo had been to many times, but now it seemed different. The water below them moved calmly as they looked down.
" All you have to do is fall." Sandra said.
Leo nodded. " I guess this is it." He said to them. He was more talking to himself than to the two of him." This is what I need to do."
" There is no turning back, you realize this?" Odin said.
" Yeah." Leo said. "I know."
He took a deep breath, and stepped closer the side of the bridge. There were barely any cars below, which was a good thing.
" Blessed be." Sandra said.
Completely defeated now of any way to sway Leo's decision, Odin muttered the same thing.
Leo let his feel fall from the side of the bridge, and he felt himself falling fast towards earth. Everything was a blur until he hit the cold ground of the bridge. Suddenly he saw lights around him as if he was being relented of all of his worries. Piper came to his mind quicker than he had fell. He needed to get to her…to tell her everything was going to be okay.
" Paige." He muttered, knowing she could help him.

Phoebe closed her laptop, and took off her glasses. It was time to go home after a long day at work. She opened her bottom left drawer, and pulled out her laptop case. As she did, a small picture caught her eye. It was a picture of Piper. She put the case onto her desk, and pulled out the picture. As soon as her fingertips touched the picture, Phoebe was pulled into a premonition.
Piper was at San Francisco Memorial sitting on a hospital bed, very pregnant. Chris was standing sitting in the chair next to her.
" I love you, Mom." He said.
Piper smiled at him. " I love you, too." She said. " And I can't wait to see you."
Her hand traveled to her large stomach.
Phoebe was pulled out of the premonition, and back to reality.
" Oh my god." She gasped.

Paige was at one of her temp jobs when she heard Leo's voice in her head.
" Leo?" she muttered, and instantly orbed.
Suddenly she found herself on the Golden Gate Bridge.
" Leo?" she said, again. She looked around, but didn't see him.
" Down here." Leo's voice said.
Paige looked down to see Leo lying on the ground of the bridge. He had two huge cuts on his face, and he looked like he had just fallen from the top of a building.
" Oh my god, Leo." She gasped, holding out her hand to help him up. He took her hand, and slowly stood up. " What happened?"
" Well you see," he said. " This was the only way."
" Only way for what?"
" Orb me to the Manor." He said urgently, ignoring her question.
Paige frowned. " Why can't you orb?"
" I don't have powers." Leo explained. "Listen, I'll explain later. Just orb me to Piper."
Two seconds later, they were in the Manor's living room. Piper was on the couch with Wyatt's baby book open on her lap. At the sound of their arrival, she turned around.
" Oh my god, Leo." She gasped, standing up and putting the book onto the couch. She looked at him carefully. " What happened to you?"
" I already asked that." Paige said, putting her hands on her hips.
" I told you I'd fix it." Leo told Piper.
" What exactly did you do?" Piper said.
" I fell from grace." He smiled at her. " I'm mortal now."
" Mortal?" Paige said, confused. " Am I missing something?"
" Well…" Piper started, but the front door opened, and then closed cutting her off.
" Piper?" Phoebe's voice rang out, frantically running into the room. "Piper?"
" Phoebe, calm down." Piper said. " What?"
" I just had a premonition." She said, calming down a bit. " You…Chris…you were pregnant…. Chris called you Mom…You're pregnant. Chris is your son."
" Phoebe, I know he's my son." Piper said. " And I know I'm pregnant."
Phoebe looked confused. " You know?" she said. "I'm lost."
" Well, Leo and I um…reconnected two days ago." Piper said. Leo coughed. " And well Chris is the baby's future self."
" What a day. Temp job and then this." Paige said, taking a deep breath in. " Why did he never tell us?"
" I'm having trouble getting answers out of him." Piper said. " And I'm still wrapping my mind around being pregnant again. I mean it's shocking to find out he's my son, but I can't dwell on that."
" All this time." Phoebe said, still completely shocked. " He's been my nephew, and we treated him horribly…and I think I may have hit on him a couple of times. Oh god."
She walked over to the couch, and sat down.
" That doesn't explain Leo." Paige said.
" I fell from Grace." Leo explained. " For Piper, Wyatt, and for the baby."
" So what does that mean?" Phoebe said. She hadn't heard what Leo had said what that meant.
" I'm mortal." Leo said. " Human. Left to a life without elder interference."
