A/N: Thanks for the reviews! I'm glad you're all like it. Daddy is really
getting into the picture now. I managed to make a chapter for Leo now and
I'm still thinking if I should put Prue into the picture too. It's really
hard to make a connection when you haven't seen any interaction from the
show or something like that. Also, I used lines from the season 3 episode,
"Just Harried" I used the exact lines so you can imagine it better than I
can! Anyway, I really love Wyatt so I'm centering the story on him. Or his
mommy. Hehe.. :) Here goes! Enjoy! ^_^ Please read and review!

Chapter Three – Missing You
Leo shook his head when he saw Piper and Wyatt snuggled in bed staring at his picture. He turned back and flicked his hands towards the thick mist, making it disappear along with the image that was once his wife and their son. Leo sat down on a bench and buried his face in his hands and let his mind wander. 'It should have been me instead of that picture.' He thought as he played the scene that he just saw again and again in his head. Leo felt the pain of leaving his family building up once more and he started rubbing his temples while watching the mist form at his feet.
"Well now," a deep, gentle voice said while getting closer to Leo, "of course, nothing's going to happen if you just keep staring at your feet."
Leo looked up and saw one of the Elders, Adrien, old, yet very knowing about a lot of things. Adrien sat down beside Leo in the bench, put his hands inside his golden robe and stared off into space. Silence fell between them and Leo broke the ice by talking first, "It's not like I can actually do anything else."
"Not unless you were once the whitelighter who knew how to break all the rules." Adrien answered with a gleam of sparkle in his old eyes.
Leo sighed. "I used to be that whitelighter. But I don't know how I can be like that again."
Adrien stood up and turned his back to Leo. "You are much like a child, Leo." He said. "Do not tell me you are already losing hope and giving up."
"I'm tired of fighting already." Leo said slowly. "And so is Piper. Maybe it just wasn't meant to be."
When he heard this, Adrien swiftly turned to face Leo and said, "You did not say that when Prudence nearly crashed your wedding." Suddenly, a thick mist once again started to form in front of them and played a scene that was so familiar to Leo. It was their wedding day.
Leo watched the scene play before his eyes and he saw Piper putting on her sweater while wearing her wedding dress. Phoebe was starting to stop her from leaving.
"Piper," Phoebe said, "Piper. You cannot just leave."
"Yes I can." Piper answered defensively. "A demon I could have handled, but my big sister ruining my wedding, I cannot handle that."
Phoebe faced Piper closer and said, "Okay, just listen to me for one second. All we have to do is find a way."
"No, no. I don't wanna find a way to get married on my wedding day." Piper sputtered. "It's-it's too hard. There must be a reason."
When Leo heard this, he started to walk towards the two sisters. "Piper..." he started.
Piper faced Leo and said, "Leo, I'm sorry. But this is the final straw. It's just not meant to be." And she left the family in the Manor. Leo watched his old self and Phoebe walk inside the living room where the whole family was assembled. Phoebe spoke up first. "I've never seen Piper so defeated."
He sat down on the couch and watched Phoebe try to wake Prue up. "Prue, come on. Wake up! Prue, come on."
"Honey, you won't get her back that way." Patty, the sister's mother said as she went beside Phoebe. "A part of Prue wanted to escape and it used her astral self to do it."
Grams sighed and said, "If the wedding's off, I have to go. I'm only here to conduct the ceremony. I'm sorry." And she started to disappear in a flash of orbs.
"Maybe Piper's right." Victor, their father said. "Maybe the wedding just wasn't meant to be."
Patty looked at her ex-husband. "Victor."
Victor shrugged. "All I'm saying is," he started, "maybe the gods are just trying to spare them the pain that we went through."
Leo looked at all of them and said, "No. All I need is what's inside of me to know that Piper and I are meant to be together." He stood up and continued, "What happened here today..."
Phoebe agreed with Leo and said, "Piper and Leo's love have touched us all. We have to fix this."
And the mist that Leo was watching slowly vanished. "I see you now remember what you once said before." Adrien said while he watched Leo wipe a few tears in his eyes.
"Yes." Leo answered. "I can remember now."
"I have to explain some things to you, Leo." Adrien started to pace in front of Leo. "I was once like you before."
Leo kept silent and so Adrien continued, "I had the same fate as you do Leo. But I did not fight for what I knew was right. I only let destiny decide what it had in store for me. I did not make my own decision, nor did I notice that I was hurting myself."
"I left my family by becoming an Elder. They did not like it of course, and there were many times that I could have gone back to be with them. But I did not. I was too afraid to break the rules, and I was too afraid to let my emotions take over me. It hurt me, and the love of my life, but we didn't fight because we were afraid that we might break the rules. And now I just realized that I should have done that before, but there is no chance now because it is too late."
"You can still fight back Leo. You still have the chance. It does not do any good to just keep watching Piper from a thick fog and talking to your son in whispers from miles away. I know you miss them and you wish to be with them. I just keep on wondering why you keep yourself in pain."
"I feel that Piper may not want me back in her life anymore." Leo said sadly.
"No." Adrien said. "Your soulmate is still fighting for your love. Maybe you should also do that."
And Leo looked at the Elder and smiled. 'Maybe I should.' He thought. 'Maybe I should.' Leo stood up and Adrien smiled and turned his back, leaving Leo alone in his thoughts.
