Chapter 2

"Leo?" Phoebe came walking up the stairs and saw tears in his eyes. "Honey, what's wrong?" she asked rushing to his side.
Leo just stared at her, tears streaming down his face. Phoebe's empathy power kicked in and she looked at him.
"Chris..." she said looking to the floor. "You want to talk about it?"
For a moment Leo said nothing and then nodded his head.
"Okay but not here. I don't want Piper to worry." He said taking Phoebe's hand and orbing out.

They orbed in on the Golden Gate Bridge. Chris's spot.
"Leo I'm so sorry-"she didn't get to finish her sentence.
"Don't. I know Phoebe. It's hard, really hard. Seeing little Chris grow up. Five years...five years to the day, the day he died and the day he was born. And I don't know whether to be happy or sad. He just died right there in my arms and there was nothing I could do to stop it, I said I'd protect him and I failed," he sobbed.
"I said I'd always be there for him, I never got to say goodbye to him or that I loved him, he just faded away."
"Leo, he knew. I'm sure that he knew."
"When he first came here, I treated him so badly. I doubted and hated my own son."
"But sweetie you didn't know about him then ..."
"That's beside the point. He told me how bad a father I was to him, and what if I make that mistake again?" "But you won't, ever since Chris was born you've always been there for him- always. You're one of the best fathers a kid could have and Chris loves you."
Leo gazed down into the traffic below. He never let Piper know how he felt about what had happened to Chris. The night that he told her how Chris had died, she cried. And he knew then that he had to be strong- for her.
"I know how you feel, literally." Phoebe said with a slight smile referring to her empathy power.
"You'll be okay" was all she could say. She had never seen her brother in law like this.
"Thanks Phoebe, I'm glad that I had someone to talk too. You don't know how much this means to me."
"It's okay, so, I think we'd better head back to Chris party," she said.
"Oh God you're right, I didn't realise the time." He said smiling, he took Phoebes hand and orbed out.
