Chapter 2 – The sisters fight back.
February 2005
Piper's bedroom
Piper just put baby Chris to sleep. She stares at the ceiling, lost in her thoughts. It's been four months since the day Chris was born, and Wyatt was kidnapped. She still remembered how panicked she was when Phoebe told Leo and her she couldn't reach Paige in the phone, and that she was afraid that something terrible had happened. Leo orbed away to check if Paige and Wyatt were okay. Phoebe wanted to go with him, but he asked her to stay with Piper, and promised he would let them know what was going on as soon as he found Paige and Wyatt and he would come back for her if he needed her.
When Leo arrived he found Paige unconscious and bleeding. He healed her, and she stirred. Leo searched for Wyatt. Started calling his name, but Wyatt didn't orb to the sound of his father's voice.
Leo: "Paige, who did this? Where is Wyatt?"
Paige: (whispering) "Wyatt, he is not here? But he was right there next to me."
She tried to sit and winched in pain.
Leo: "Be careful, I just healed you. Who did this? And where is my son?"
Paige: "Gideon must've taken him."
Leo: "Gideon? What is he got to do with this?"
Paige: "He came behind me when I closed the door, told me something about the greater good, and sent a fire ball at me."
Leo: "Paige, I'm going to search the house for Wyatt. I've got to find him."
Paige: "Leo, I don't think Wyatt is in the house. If he were, he would have orbed here by now."
Leo: "I know, Paige, but I still want to search the house, in case he is here."
Paige nodded and Leo helped her get up.
They looked for Wyatt and Gideon everywhere, but he was nowhere to be found. Paige scryed for him, she used his favorite blanket, but came up with nothing. Meanwhile, Leo was trying to focus and hear his son, but he couldn't feel Wyatt.
Both Paige and Leo didn't understand why they couldn't find Wyatt and why he didn't orb back to the house, until they figured out where Gideon must have taken him -- it seemed Gideon had taken him to the underworld, because that would be such strange environment for Wyatt, he wouldn't know how to orb his way home.
Leo still remembered how Piper reacted when he came back to her hospital room that night and told her that Wyatt was taken by Gideon.
Piper: "Are you telling me that you lost my son? That you can't find him anywhere? How did that happen? Paige, I thought he was safe with you"
Both Piper and Paige couldn't stop crying. Phoebe just sat there, shocked, looking at Leo.
Paige: "I tried. I didn't know Gideon was behind me until it was too late. He probably planned it Piper."
Piper: "Well, you should have tried harder."
Leo couldn't take it anymore. Fighting wouldn't bring Wyatt back, and he wanted the girls to stop blaming each other.
Leo: "Piper, that wasn't her fault. You need to stop this right now. We have got to concentrate on finding Wyatt."
Piper: "You're right. I'm sorry, Paige. Leo, could you ask the nurse to bring Chris to my room? I want him close to me."
The baby started to cry, and Piper returned to reality. She lifted the baby up and tried to calm him.
Piper: "What's the matter, Chris? Are you hungry? Did you have a bad dream?"
She started singing to him until the baby calmed down, and then she put him back in his crib, and watched him until he fell asleep again.
Piper left his room, and climbed the stairs to the attic. She wanted to summon her big sister again. The first time she summoned Prue after her death was a couple of months ago. The three sisters summoned Grams and Patty to help them in their search for Wyatt, and Prue came along with them. Piper still remembered how Paige met Prue for the first time, and cherished that moment.
When Piper got to the attic, she noticed that one of Wyatt's toys was thrown on the floor nearby. Watching the abandoned toy brought tears to her eyes, and she broke down, and set on a chair, crying hysterically.
Leo orbed to her room, looking for her. He checked the baby and saw that he was sound asleep, and then he heard her cry. He went to the attic, and knelt next to Piper.
Leo: "Piper, we will find him. I don't know when, but I know I'm not going to give up until we bring our son home."
Piper: (crying) "I know Leo. But have you thought about the damage that Gideon caused him by now, how much he suffers and misses us?"
Piper stopped for a second, and tried to stop her tears.
Piper: "I just want my baby back."
Leo: "I want him back too, you know. You're not alone in this".
Tears started falling from Leo's eyes. Piper knelt beside him.
Piper: "But when will we see him again, Leo? His second birthday was just two weeks ago, and I wasn't there to celebrate it with my baby. I miss him like hell."
Leo: "I miss him too."
They hugged each other for awhile, and then they got up and started talking about more possible ways to bring Wyatt back home.
Phoebe ran to the attic, and opened the door
Phoebe: "Guys. I found Gideon. There's a demon in the sun room who knows Gideon's hiding place. Come quick. Paige is watching him."
Leo and Piper followed her, running.
Piper: "Did you see him? Did you see my baby? Is he alive?"
The demon: "I did, and if you let me live, I will bring you right to him."
Piper: "Let's go guys NOW. We don't have time to waste."
Paige: "One of us must stay behind, you know. We can't leave Chris alone and we definitely can't take him with us".
Phoebe: "We'll summon Grams, and Prue to. She will help us fight Gideon. The power of four will be much stronger than the power of three, and it will help us get Wyatt back."
Piper: "You are right."
The sisters ran to the attic and they summoned them, using the old spell from the Book of Shadows: "Here these words. Hear my cry spirit from the other side. Come to me, I summon thee. Cross now the Great Divide."
Grams and Prue appeared. Phoebe explained the situation to Grams, while Paige talked to Prue. And then, they left with the demon and followed him to the underworld.
Grams: (watching them leave) "Come back safely, and bring my grandson home."
A few minutes later
They found Gideon, wounded and bitten, waiting for them
Gideon: "I was expecting you. It took you longer than I thought."
Piper: (screaming) "Where is my baby? What did you do to him?"
Gideon smirked.
Gideon: "He's in the other room, the little brat. I wanted to kill him, but he kept running away. I spent four months running after that little brat. You must be so proud."
Leo punched him, and watched him falling on the floor.
Leo: "Yes, we are."
Piper re-entered the room holding Wyatt in her arms.
Piper: "He looks okay, but he was terrified when he first saw me. Leo, I think that Barbas might have helped Gideon. When I entered the room, Wyatt reacted like he thought I was an illusion."
Leo: (standing on Gideon's hand and hears him scream with pain) "Is she right, Gideon? Did Barbas help you kidnap Wyatt?"
Gideon: (screaming) "Yes, yes, he did."
Leo was outraged.
Leo: "He is a baby, Gideon, a BABY, and you are an Elder. You were supposed to protect him, not betray him, betray US. You were my mentor, my friend. I trusted you"
Piper looked at Gideon. She despised him, and she didn't care what would happen to him. She just wanted to bring her son back home.
Piper: "We don't need Gideon anymore. Don't we?"
Leo nodded.
Leo: "I think we should bring him to the other Elders. Let them decide what will be his destiny."
Prue: "I don't trust them, Leo. I think that at least some of them were aware of Gideon's actions and did nothing to stop him from hurting Wyatt. Let's leave him here and let the demons finish him off."
The demon: "I'd appreciate it"
Leo nodded, and then the demon called his friends and they appeared in the room.
The Charmed Ones and Leo were about to orb back to the Manor when the demon called for them.
The demon: "Remember, you promised you won't hurt me."
Piper turned and looked at him and his fellow demons
Piper: "And we won't. (turning to face Leo) Now, can we please go home?"
Leo: "Yes we can."
And they orbed away.
