CHAPTER SEVEN
"What?"
"I'm telling the truth, Caiti. I'm your father."
Caiti looked at Leo with a bewildered expression. Could he be telling the truth, like he claimed to be? Or was it a sick joke? "My father was a whitelighter, the only was you could be my father is if-OUCH!" Caiti stopped abruptly and looked at her hand. Right in the middle of her palm, where she had just set her hand on the bar, was a splinter that had just gone in far enough to draw blood. "Let me see your hand," Leo said. Reluctantly, Caiti gave him her hand. "It might hurt a little bit, but not for long." Leo removed the piece of wood from Caiti's hand, and it did hurt a little bit, but not much.
"So you take a piece of wood out of my hand and I'm just supposed to believe that you're a whitelighter?" Caiti asked. "Let me finish," Leo replied. He then put his hands over her palm. Caiti watched in shock as a golden light formed over her wound and made the wound disappear. "Now do you believe me?" he asked quietly. Caiti looked at the man standing in front of her, who had said he was her father-who was her father-and had just healed her hand and said, "Yes, Dad." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Cole chose that particular moment to look up at the bar, and saw Leo heal Caiti's hand, and the look on her face when he healed it. "She knows," he said quietly. "Who knows what?" Phoebe asked. "Nothing," Cole said quickly. "Where's Caiti?" asked Chris. Cole gestured over to the bar where Caiti and Leo were talking and said, "Over there. Why? Do you like her?" "I'll take the 5th on that one," Chris said, his face bright red, and with that he walked over to the bar, just in time to hear Caiti say, "So, when are you gonna tell Piper that you're my father?" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"What?" Chris asked. "Chris, oh my god, how much did you hear?" asked a now worried Caiti. "Enough," he said. "Enough to know that Leo's your father, enough to know that this is something Piper needs to hear." Leo orbed out from behind the bar and grabbed the back of the shirt Chris was wearing. "If anyone's going to tell Piper, it should be me. Not Caiti, and I'll be damned if it's you. Got it?" Chris nodded. "Good," Leo said. "Now, I'm gonna let go of you, and when I do, if you tell Piper anything before I get the chance, there'll be hell to pay." Chris said, "I get it." Leo let go of Chris, and turned to Caiti, who was now looking very frightened. "Don't worry, I won't hurt you. I just want to make sure that-" "That you're the one to tell Piper," Caiti cut in. "I know, I know. I'm just shocked. Which leads to the question, when are you gonna tell Piper about me?" Leo looked over at his wife, sisters-in-law, and Chris and said, "Right now. Come with me." He held his hand out to Caiti, and she took it. Once again, she felt her body turn into brilliant orbs of light, and when she opened her eyes again, she was standing with Leo in front of the others.
Leo looked at Piper, took a deep breathe, and said, "Piper, there's something I need to tell you."
bet you're getting sick of all the cliffhanger endings, huh? well, hate to break it to you, but there's gonna be a lot of them! looks like Piper's finally gonna find out the truth about Caiti. the only real question now is: how will she take it? you're just gonna have to wait till chapter 8! (yes, I am aware of how cheesy that sounded)
