A/N: Oh wow…I am so sorry I haven't updated lately. But thank you thank you thank you for reviewing! You all are the best! I hope nobody has lost interest. I have planned out the rest of the story and now it's just a matter of it being written. Which will be soon because I have finished my exams! Yay!

Disclaimer: I don't own Charmed…

Chris quickly averted his gaze from Leo and sighed.

"You know Leo…Dad…" Leo smiled at that,

"We can't fix this relationship in a day or week," Chris said still staring at the floor.

"Well I mean, obviously, there are 22 years of issues here. We just have to-" Leo was talking quickly but Chris interrupted him.

"Whoa, whoa! I was not talking about you and me. I was talking about you and…mini me in there!," Chris said loudly, placing his hand on Piper's stomach. "Our relationship repair is definitely gonna take awhile,"

Leo sighed, lost for words.

Chris was getting all worked up again, and Piper could sense it. So she put her arm around his shoulders and gave him a quick squeeze.

But it didn't help at all. Chris was biting his lip so hard that it was bleeding a little and was stinging. Tears sprang to his eyes but he blinked them away. It didn't hurt that much.

"Oh sweetie you're bleeding!" Piper reached out and touched his head gently before standing up. "I'll go…get some ice" She reluctanly left the room, unsure of if leaving Leo and Chris alone was such a good idea.

Leo got up off the couch and walked over to where Chris was, staring at the floor. He kneeled down beside him and brushed away his hair from his face. Chris wiped away the trickle of blood coming from his lip.

Leo smiled, despite the situation. He couldn't help it. Chris looked so much like a little boy just then.

His little boy.

He gently put his arms around Chris' shoulders and helped him onto the couch behind them. He then sat down beside his son who still seemed to be lost in his own thoughts.

"Chris…look at me," Leo lifted his chin so their eyes met. He studied his sons face. His eyes. His nose. He had a little freckle on his nose.

"What is it?"

Leo hadn't realized he had been staring at his son with a big goofy smile on his face.

"Ah..it's nothing. Look Chris, we need to talk about all this. I know I have…am going to hurt you a lot in the future. I want to help you Chris, believe me I do. But I don't know how. Help me out here, buddy," Leo was getting desperate.

"Quit."

"What..?"

"Quit. You know, being an Elder?"

"You can't be serious"

"I am. You know just as well as I do that the sisters are going to need a new whitelighter anyway once I go back. Besides, you can't be around for the family if you're an Elder. You tried it in the future. It's just not possible,"

"But…I mean, can I?"

"Well you have to try. Do you want to repeat the mistakes you made over again? I thought you wanted to fix things!" Chris yelled.

"Whoa whoa! I do buddy, I do. I am just saying it's not going to be easy"

"Just orb 'Up There' and tell them you quit. Easy as that." Chris replied quickly.

Leo laughed.

"Okay."

"What?"

"I said okay Chris. I will do just that."

"Really?!?" Chris was excited. Leo thought it was really funny. He laughed again.

"Yeah bud. I will go up there now. But I gotta warn you, they probably won't like it."

"Yeah well…screw the Elders."

"Hey I'm still one of them!"

"Hopefully not for long."

"Okay yeah. I'll go now. Tell Piper. I mean…your mom" Leo smiled and orbed out.

Piper came up with some ice to find Chris smiling widely and Leo gone.

"What going on sweetie? Where did your dad go? Is everything okay?" She asked, worried.

"It's great mom, he's going to try and quit. For us! For our family" Chris was really excited.

"That's great honey. Here put the ice on," she handed Chris the ice pack and sat down next to him, her hand rubbing his arm again. Chris smiled.

He had missed this so much.

"Chris?" Piper asked quietly.

"Yeah mom?"

"Why have you been avoiding me?" Piper's voice cracked.

TBC…

Well…there it is. Good? Bad? Please give me feedback! I would love it oh so much!
