Hey, guys. Sorry for the wait. But im back w/ a new chapter. So here goes:

Chapter 10: Ask Phoebe

Last Time:

"Don't worry, he's at P3" Mel said, more to Piper than anyone else in the room. "You guys try to get some sleep, okay?" Mel said. "Leo, can I talk to you?"

"Yeah, sure" Leo answered, as the sisters left the attic. "What do you want to talk about?"

"I actually wanted to talk to you about Mom" Mel said. When he didn't respond she continued, "do you still love her?"

"I will always love Piper" Leo answered

"So, why aren't you together now?" Mel said

"Because I'm an Elder now" Leo responded

"And? When you decided to become an Elder you told Mom that your love was transcendent and stood through everything the Elders threw at you, how could you become the very thing that tried to keep you two apart?" Mel asked

"I had no choice" Leo tried

"You always have a choice. Mom asked you to choose her and you didn't. What you guys had-still have is special. I've seen it. I didn't get the chance to experience that kind of connection and love to the fullest, but I had a taste of it, and I can tell you, if you lose her completely, you'll regret it" Mel explained, and then orbed out, leaving Leo to think about her words

Leo got up from the sofa they were sitting on and left the attic to find the sisters talking in the kitchen.

"I'm gonna go now" Leo announced before orbing out

"What do you think Mel wanted to talk to him about?" Paige asked

"I have no idea" Piper said. "I can't believe I didn't notice it before"

"Notice what, honey?" Phoebe asked

"Chris, I can't believe I didn't notice him, he has Leo's eyes, my hair and even my neurosis, why didn't I notice it before?" Piper asked. "He must really hate me"

"You weren't looking for it, none of us were, it's not your fault" Phoebe tried

"Yeah. I don't even think he wanted us to know" Paige said. "I think sleep would be good for all of us, right now" Paige offered

"Yeah, come on," Phoebe said to Piper, pulling her from the chair she was sat in. The sisters all went upstairs to their respective bedrooms for the night

P3

"Hey, Chris, are you calm now?" Mel asked, walking into the office

"Yeah. I've just been waiting so long for this, you know, finding out who turned Wyatt"

"Yeah, I know, I have too" Mel said. "Look, I think you should know something"

"What is it?" Chris asked

"I accidentally told Mom what happened when you turned fourteen" Mel said

"Accidentally? How does that story accidentally get told?" Chris said furious

"I don't know, my mouth said it before my brain had a chance to think about it" Mel said. "And I wouldn't have even had to tell her if you had told them you are a witchlighter, among other things" Mel defended herself

"What the hell difference did that make?" Chris ranted

"They thought you were evil and didn't trust you. I thought it would help her understand you better, and you know what, it worked" Mel said, her voice growing in volume

"You know, I thought you stayed here to help, but I guess-," Chris continued to rant but Mel cut him off

"You know what, I'm gonna leave before one of us says something we'll regret and can't take back" Mel said before orbing out

Mel orbed into the manor's conservatory, sprawled out on the sofa and softly cried.

"Mel?" A voice called from behind the couch

Mel looked up and saw Phoebe, "Aunt Phoebe, did I wake you?" Mel asked, wiping the tears from her eyes

"No, not really. I couldn't get to sleep and I sensed someone down here" Phoebe said. "Do you want to tell me what's wrong?"

"I wouldn't even know when to begin" Mel admitted

"Start anywhere you're comfortable" Phoebe suggested

"Okay," Mel started by taking a deep breath. "I guess in the back of my mind I knew that Wyatt ordered the attack, but I just didn't want to believe it, you know. My own brother killing the love of my life," Mel paused. "I was pregnant, too, not even 3 months yet, and one day I woke up to bloody sheets and stomach cramps. I miscarried and do you know who caused me to lose the only connection to Josh I had left: my brother" Mel ended in a fit of sobs

Phoebe wrapped her arms around Mel and pulled her close, rubbing soothing circles on her niece's back.

"Ha," Mel gave an ironic chuckle. "This is crazy. I have an older brother who's power-hungry, demented, and out of control. A younger brother who's frustrated, stressed out, and emotionally drained. Here I am, just a mess and falling apart, I can't even stop crying for God's sakes. And then there's Belle, I don't even know how she's doing, I mean her mom just died" Mel ranted. "Tell me what to do, Aunt Phoebe. What am I supposed to do?" Mel asked desperately

"Mel, I think you need to make peace with Wyatt and yourself" Phoebe offered

"What?" Mel retorted

"Hear me out. When we save Wyatt- and we will- your gonna go back to a future with a different Wyatt, you can't carry this resentment and sense of betrayal with you. It wouldn't be fair to the new Wyatt" Phoebe explained. "And as for making peace with yourself, it's kinda the same thing. You have to let go of Josh's death. It wasn't your fault."

"Okay, so how am I supposed to do all this?" Mel asked

"Only you can answer that" Phoebe answered

"Mommy!" A scream was heard throughout the house

"Belle." Mel said, before orbing out with Phoebe

Mel and Phoebe orbed into Piper's bedroom, at the same time as Paige. When the trio got there, Chris had Belle wrapped in his arms, while Piper stroked Belle's hair

"I saw her, Daddy, Mommy's gone" Belle said, into Chris' chest

"What? I don't understand, Belle" Chris said

"Daddy, I saw Uncle Wyatt kicked her" Belle cried

"Do you know what she's talking about, Chris?" Mel asked

"I think I have an idea. Can one of you stay with her?"

"I can" Paige volunteered, and the rest went into the hallway

"So what do you think?" Mel asked Chris

"I think maybe Wyatt cast a spell, that made Belle see how Bianca died" Chris explained

"Any ideas on what we should do" Mel said

"Yeah, first, we'll make a potion for Belle, to block the memory of Bianca's death, and then we make a power stripping potion for Wyatt" Chris said

"And give the potion to baby Wyatt" Mel said, following Chris' thinking

"Exactly"

So guys, what did u think of that chap. Let me know in a review.
