Title: Tears
Author: icee
Disclaimer: I don't own Charmed or any of its characters.
A/N: This fic is kinda trashy because things just randomly come up. The story has different points of view but I think you guys will get it anyway because I state them. Sometimes I put in Wyatt's thoughts in the middle of something, because I know he's part of the family and technically part of the story. This is set after season 5 when Leo became an Elder and disappeared because of Chris the whitelighter.
Summary: It's time to get Leo back before Piper breaks down. But there's only one person who can help her and she barely trusts her. On the edge of all the pain that Piper's been through, maybe tears are the only things that can keep the water flowing…

"Twinkle, twinkle little star, how I wonder what you are. Up, above the world so high, like a diamond in the sky… twinkle…"
'I always liked to hear my mommy sing. She would always hug me and kiss me; she would always cuddle me to sleep. When she sings, it makes my heart skip a beat and I look at her and smile because it warms me and I feel safe. She always tells me she loves me and makes me sleep with her in bed, and when I wake up she always tickles me to make me laugh. When I'm hungry she always gives me milk and I feel very happy. She's always there when I cry and when I don't feel good; my mommy is always there. Sometimes my mommy gets tired so my aunts take care of me. My Aunt Paige sings for me too and it makes me fall asleep just like my mommy. My Aunt Phoebe is always there to make me laugh and she would always tell me stories. I love them so much. And they always tell me that my daddy and my Aunt Prue also love me and they watch over me. I wish I could see them so that they know I also love them. I wish my mommy could understand me whenever I whisper to her that I love her. I wish my aunts could understand me when I talk back to them and I say I love them too. I'm listening to my mommy sing again…then I gently fall back to my dreams…'
"…twinkle little star, how I wonder what you are. Good night, Wyatt. Sweet dreams…" Piper whispered to her son as she kissed him good night. Wyatt closed his eyes and gently fell asleep as Piper cuddled him and stroked her son's hair. She looked back up at the stars in the heavens and tears rolled down her cheeks as she whispered to the sky.
'I miss you so much Leo. I hope that you can hear me. I love you with all my heart…and I always will. Please come back to me. I can't take this anymore…Wyatt needs you too Leo…and I do too. Paige and Phoebe also need you. Please? Please? Just listen to me Leo…I can't take this anymore…'
Piper let her tears fall as she cuddled Wyatt in her arms. She looked at her baby and smiled when she saw him sleeping peacefully, but with tears in the corner of his eyes. Her tears had fallen on his blanket and on his hair were more of Piper's tears, but he just slept there, cuddled in his mommy's arms. Piper stared at her and Leo's wedding picture on her bedside table and tears began forming on her eyes again.
"You really miss him don't you," a girl of around sixteen said while she sat on the edge of Piper's bed, smiling, "and it seems that it's tearing you apart."
"Who the hell are you?" Piper demanded, cradling Wyatt closer to her, ready for any danger that this girl might do. The girl stood up and paced around for a while. "Well, my name is Icee and I'm not here to hurt you."
"Then why are you here?"
"I'm here to help you."
"Help me with what? My life is pretty much screwed up right now and this isn't exactly the best time for you to come in it."
"Why not? I might be the only person here who can help you."
"Yeah right. What are you?"
"I'm a typical dead person who holds powers of certain witches. Technically in my case, your powers and everyone else's. Some different kind of angel so to speak."
"Okay that's it. OUT! GET OUT OF HERE!" Piper screamed when she heard the word angel. Tears were streaming down her eyes while she gently put Wyatt on the bed and stood up to face Icee. Her eyes were flaming with fury and she shouted again. "I SAID OUT! DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND?! GET OUT OF MY SIGHT! I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ANOTHER WORD ABOUT ANGEL ANYMORE!"
"But- but I'm supposed to help you! And I'm not finished talking!"
"Yeah? Well I don't care. Just so you know, the last time some damned angel came to us and said that he was supposed to help us… I lost my husband. I LOST LEO! DON'T YOU GET THAT? I LOST LEO!"
"Of course, I know that. I was watching you."
"Then why the hell are you here? Get out of here before I try to do anything on you. Listen to me. I lost the love of my life, my husband and my son's father! I LOST LEO AND I CAN'T GET HIM BACK! ALL BECAUSE OF SOME STUPID ANGEL!"
"Well, maybe it's time that we get him back."
Piper just sat there on the floor, crying her heart out looking at the girl who said she'd get her husband back.
