PROBLEMS ARISE
A/N: Wow! I can't believe how much feedback I have gotten! I'm so happy thanks for all your reviews they've all been good things said but if anyone does have constructive critisicm that's okay too.
Kangaroo: Wow! Thanks for all the great feedback! No I don't have any other stories. I wasn't even planning on writing one but I kinda wanted to see a story where Piper and Leo ended up happy (no offense to people who have written otherwise) and since they are my favorite characters I wanted to make them happy ok now I'm rambling.anyway I have read all three of those stories and they are all great and I was wondering if you were gonna write a sequel to 'All in the Family'. I have that pen name b/c I couldn't think of one and I am gonna be reviewing a lot since I just got outta school.ok now onto the story..
While Phoebe and Paige's biggest problem was trying to figure out what to tell Piper's club, Leo and Piper were facing severe consequences for their request. Rolan had been telling all the other Elders how ungrateful Leo was and how he was still obsessing over his loss. A small group of Elders agreed with Rolan and thought Leo should be lucky to lead the Elders and should embrace his new destiny. Those were mostly the Elders that had been cheated out of love and were bitter towards all those who were lucky enough to be happily married. After they listened to Piper and Leo's demands, there was a long discussion. Piper and Leo were forced to wait outside while their future stood in the hands of a room full of old people, half of whom hated Leo and Piper. "Leo, I'm so happy to see you. I don't know how I've gotten this far without you. I tried to be strong and I did okay but now that I've seen you, I don't think I could ever go back and live without you. The past month was hell, you took away my pain and gave me inner peace but it didn't work. I became like a hollow shell, my powers were off because I had no emotions. Phoebe and Paige noticed I wasn't grieving and when we got attacked, I was almost killed and they figured it out. They found some spell, the spell to undo magic and I haven't been able to do anything but cry for the last three weeks."
"Oh Piper! I'm so sorry. I never meant to take away all emotions, I just wanted to be sure you'd be okay. And don't be mad at Phoebe and Paige. If they hadn't fixed my mistake, we might not be getting back together and I'd still be up here not being able to do my job because I missed you too much. I could tell Rolan was really starting to hate me, I couldn't do anything. I stayed in my room all the time, just watching you and Wyatt, wallowing in self pity. I couldn't be mad at the situation because I left you but I couldn't help but be angry. I blamed the Elders for what happened, and still do. I know I told you that it was you who helped me to my new destiny, that our love is what helped me grow to this level and that's true. Our love may be strong enough to survive this separation, but I'm not. I can't do this without you. I need you back."
"I know and I need you back. But what if they don't let you come back? I mean it's not like they were ecstatic about us getting married or even being together in the first place. Most of them probably hate us and the only reason they allowed us to be together is because they didn't want me to give up my powers and stop fighting evil. If I weren't a Charmed One, just a regular witch they probably never would have allowed us to be together. Rolan told me himself, he always second guessed you for marrying me."
"I don't care what they think. All I care about is you. I love you and Wyatt and I'm going to be with you no matter what they say-" Before Leo could continue, the big gold doors the couple is sitting in front of, open and a man in long golden robes like Leo's steps out and says, "Sir, we are ready to see you now." "Okay Liam, just give us a second."
"Leo, was that a good sign? Is he on our side?"
"Calm down honey. Let me just go see what's going on. I'll be right out." Seeing the sad expression on her face he adds, "I'm sorry sweetie but I need to do this alone."
"Okay, I understand. I'll see you soon." Replied Piper as she watched the man she loved disappear into a room of people she couldn't trust. This gave her time to think about the future which wasn't good. Piper had a bad feeling that the Elders weren't feeling too nice at the moment. She couldn't bear living the rest of her life without her husband. Interrupting her thoughts, and much to Piper's relief, the big golden doors opened up and Leo walked out. Her face lit up when she saw him, only to be crushed by the look on his face..
He didn't know what to say. He had to tell the woman he loved, the mother of his children that they could be together, but only under severe circumstances. The Elders could not reach a decision together. Most of them wanted Leo and Piper to be together, so that was settled, but almost no one wanted them to be Leo's only charges. He was a wonderful whitelighter and had only lost two charges in almost 50 years, or so they told him. In his heart, Leo knew all the Elders really despised him because he was getting a chance at love yet again. Few of them had ever known love like he did and those that did had to give it up when they were chosen to be Elders. Sure a handful were on his side but they were still jealous and would never let them be truly happy. They were letting him go now and he had no choice but to tell her. He opened up the doors and she was sitting on the steps lost in thought. When the doors opened up, she stood up and her face lit up, until she saw the pained look he knew his eyes held. "Piper, I'm so sorry. They're letting me come back with a few conditions. We have two options. I come back with all my original charges, or clip my wings."
"Well, at least we can be together and-" She stopped when Leo looked down and had the familiar look on his face that was usually followed by him saying 'they're calling' but he didn't this time all he said was "your sisters need you go, I'll bring you back when you call." This surprised her and she wanted to ask how he could still hear their calls but before she could say anything she was surrounded by white and blue lights and disappeared.
He was grateful for the interruption, it would give him time to figure out what he wanted to do. He wanted to be with Piper more than anything but he didn't know if he could clip his wings. It would leave them without a whitelighter. That was the part he couldn't bear to tell her, if he clipped his wings they didn't get a new whitelighter. Rolan had managed to convince everyone that Paige could be their whitelighter but even though Leo had complete faith in her-he didn't know if she could handle it. Paige was just starting to get back out into the real world and was thinking about getting a job and dating again. He didn't think he could ask Paige to carry that burden. Just then he heard Piper calling and he orbed her back up. "So what'd they want?"
"Oh they just missed me. Kinda weird huh? Anyway," continued Piper without letting him answer, "if you do clip your wings then we can still be together and they can always assign us a new whitelighter."
"That's the catch honey. If I clip my wings-no new whitelighter. They seem to think Paige can handle it, and honestly, I don't think she can. She's starting to date and looking for work, she's helping care for Wyatt, co-head witch, she can't heal or hover or do a lot of the other things whitelighters can and there's something else I'm not supposed to tell you that is just going to add to her stress."
"Well I'm sure she can learn to heal and hover but you're right, I don't think she can handle it. But why can't you tell me this little secret? I mean if it's going to stress her out, shouldn't I warn her about it?"
"I know I think so too but I would be in too much trouble. Not many Elders are aware of it even. But what are we going to do? I want to be with you more than anything and I mean just you, but you need a whitelighter. Even if Paige learns to heal, what happens if you're fighting a demon and she gets knocked out.?"
"I don't know Leo all I know is, I'm not leaving here without you. Wait, I know what I'm going to do." With that said, she walked off towards the big gold doors with a look he had seen so many times before, but never with this intensity. It was a look of determination. It was then that he fell in love with her all over again. He couldn't seem to remember how he lived without her for a whole month, it seemed like eternity. He missed her passion, her determination, her stubbornness, her compassion, her fighting attitude, and most importantly, her love. He followed her inside just in case he had to stop her before she got them into deeper trouble.
She walked into the large room with all the Elders standing around. She was never more scared in her entire life, but that didn't matter. All that mattered was that she was about to get her husband back. "Hey you!" She shouted to no one in general, just wanting to get her attention, and that she did. At least twenty heads in golden robes turned to face her. "Yeah that's right! It's me, just a poor little witch that wants her husband back. Oh no wait, that's wrong. I'm a Charmed One and without me there would be none of you ok? Got that? I saved most of your lives! And how do you repay me? By taking away my husband? he was the only reason i even defeated the frickin' titans! without him, i had no reason to fight for anything! Now it's not my fault all you pathetic little people had your hearts broken and turned all bitter now is it? No I didn't think so. So either you send me and my husband back down to earth WITH all of our powers, so we can enjoy an almost normal life together with our children. You will make us five plus any children Phoebe or Paige or I may ever have again, his only charges! Do you hear me?"
"Any why should we agree to this?" Said a hooded voice.
"Because if you don't, I swear me and my sisters will never do another thing to save your precious little lives. We won't fight another demon, darklighter, evil God, Source, or anything else that wants to harm, kill, or hurt in any way shape or form, you or and innocent. We will bind our powers and give up your little 'power of three' crap. So I suggest you talk it over and decide what's more important, the bitter revenge of a couple of old farts or millions of innocent lives." With that Piper Halliwell-Wyatt turned and left without looking back. If she had looked back she would have seen twenty hooded faces with shocked expressions on their faces. When Piper turned around, she saw Leo standing by the door, she was almost scared to hear what he had to say. He just looked at her and led her out the door.
"Piper..that was amazing.I can't believe you just said that to them. I never could have done that."
"So you're not mad at me?"
"I could never be mad at someone who would fight like that just to be with me. I love you Piper Halliwell."
"And I love you Leo Wyatt." Piper had barely finished her sentence when she heard the door open. A man in golden Elder's robes stepped out. "Piper Halliwell, the Council of Elders has considered your request and we admire your passion and we see now that you love Leo Wyatt. We are granting you your request. Goodbye." Before they could celebrate they were orbed out.
When the blue and white lights finally left them, Leo was standing in the last outfit Piper had seen him in instead of the stupid robes she hated so much. "Oh Leo! I'm so happy!!!" "Me too Piper. I love you more than anything." "Ditto," was all Piper could sat before Leo pulled her closer to him and kissed her...
