CHILD OF THE WHITELIGHTER
DISCLAIMER: I do not own any of the Charmed characters, although it would be nice to own Leo. (wink wink) The characters Caiti, her friends, and her mother Jeanne are my own creation; please don't use them without asking me first.
A/N: OK, so I know that most of you are wondering what the hell I've done to the whole Charmed universe by what happened last chapter. I would like to take the time to mention that this is just a story, and that we who watch the show seriously don't know what Leo was doing in the '80s, making this and his explanation logical. This chapter is rated PG for language.
CHAPTER FOUR
Caiti picked up her guitar and put the strap over her left shoulder, motioning for Janna and Serena to do the same. Mike sat down behind his drums, and Jacob stood behind his keyboard, and then they were ready to play. Caiti looked out into the club and saw the club's owner Piper and her sisters Phoebe and Paige, and their whitelighter Chris.
"Boy," thought Caiti. "That Chris is pretty damn hot." Suddenly a voice invaded her thoughts, literally.
"Yeah, he is," thought Janna. Caiti smiled. Thinking conversations was one of the few ways that they could keep their thoughts safe from the boys.
"But Janna, you're with Mike!" thought Caiti.
"Hey, I'm thinking like they do in the museums," Janna counter- thought.
"How's that?"
"Look, don't touch!"
Caiti laughed out loud and gave Janna a sly grin. "What's so funny?" asked Mike.
"Just had a funny thought," said Caiti. "So," Caiti said, directing her voice to Piper, "Is there anything specific you want us to play? Any certain song?"
"Whatever you would like to play is fine with me," Piper replied.
"OK, then." said Caiti. Turning to Jacob, she said, "Start playing the music for 'The Anthem'."
Jacob nodded and started playing. Soon Caiti, Janna, and Serena started strumming, while Mike started drumming and singing.
Piper and the others listened intently, amazed at the quality of the band's playing, considering they were doing a cover of a relatively new song. While they were listening, Leo orbed in beside Piper. "How are they?" he asked.
"They're brilliant, even though it's a cover," Piper answered. "Especially Caitlin, the one playing the baby blue and white guitar."
Leo looked at the girl strumming away on her guitar. It took him a few moments to realize who he was looking at. The girl playing up there on stage had the same blonde hair and blue eyes that he did, which made him wonder, "Is this my daughter?"
Paige looked at Leo, and then looked at Caitlin, or Caiti as they were told to call her. She saw what Leo was seeing, the same blonde hair, the same blue eyes, but most of all: "She has Leo's smile," thought Paige. "Wait a minute-nah, Leo told us he was watching over us since birth, this couldn't be his daughter, could it?" But the more she thought about it, the more it made sense. The girl onstage, the girl that they were watching play guitar with her band, could be her brother-in-law's daughter. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
From her place backstage, Jeanne could see her daughter playing and Leo watching her. "Ha," thought Jeanne. "Now he's realizing that Caiti is his daughter." Her silent laughter was stopped, though, when she saw Paige's face. "Apparently, so has his wife's sister. She's right though. They share the same hair color, eye color, and smile. This could get ugly if Piper finds out about what Paige thinks is 'just a possibility' is actually the truth. But it's not my place to interfere. All that I need to do was tell Leo about Caiti's true paternity, nothing more. They will find out on their own, and when they do, I won't be needed here anymore. Caiti will be with her father and stepmother, if Piper and the others choose to accept her." With that final thought in her head, she orbed out from behind the curtain and into the audience for a better seat. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The band finished their song and took a bow. As Caiti rose from her bow, she saw Chris looking at her and smiling warmly, making Caiti feel weak in the knees. She then turned to her bandmates and joined in the high- fiving that was celebrating the fact that they didn't mess up the song, not even once. When their audience finished clapping, Piper addressed them and said, "That was wonderful. You really played the song well, and we-my sisters and I-have decided to hire you. Congratulations." At that the band cheered and hugged each other, the boys kissing each of the girls on the cheek, and the girls screaming, "We did it! We actually freaking did it!" while jumping up and down and hugging each other. The group then remembered to thank Piper, Phoebe, and Paige for hiring them, and asked when they would start. Piper answered: "Tonight."
ok, i know this chapter was pretty short, but it was to the point. we now know that Leo thinks he's Caiti's real father. the only question left now is: is he right? and when Caiti meets Leo for the first time, will they realize their connection?
