Chapter 10

Paige was standing there deep in thought, staring at Leo's body, and a devastated Piper kneeling beside him. Phoebe mistook this for shock and knelt down next to Leo's body.

"Piper, h-he mightn't be dead, I mean you didn't check for a pulse at all did you..."

"For crying out loud Phoebe! Look at him! How on earth could he have survived that!" she shouted, tears streaming down her face. Phoebe reached over and placed two of her fingers over his wrist. She sighed, as she felt nothing. Phoebe was about to say this to Piper when she felt a very faint beat.

"Piper! There's a pulse! I-I felt it." She said, feeling a glimmer of hope.

Piper stared down at Leo and then looked up at Phoebe. "Are you sure, because Phoebe Halliwell, if you're lying to me then I swear...." She trailed off.

Paige hearing this looked up and instead of looking at Leo and her sisters she stared at Chris, whom she found was staring right back at her. When she was looking at him she felt something old, something familiar. Somehow, something seemed slightly different about her nephew.

"Paige...I think it's about time you said what you're thinking" a voice said.

"What? W-who said that?" she asked. She glanced down at Piper and Phoebe to see if they heard it, but it appears they didn't even hear her either.

"Paige, listen to me, there's not much time left for him, and you know what to do..." his voice trailed off.

Paige stayed silent, before the voice registered. "Chris?" she asked.

Chris hesitated to answer her. "Paige, please do this for me and Mom and Wyatt...Do this so I can have a father..." His voice became more distant. "Goodbye Aunt Paige..."

Paige with tears in her eyes whispered. "Goodbye Chris.... Love you!"

"Paige?" Phoebe had called

"Huh?" Paige looked around and her eyes landed back on Little Chris, she smiled slightly at him and he smiled back.

"Paige!" Phoebe almost shouted at her this time. "Snap out of it, we need you to orb Leo to a hospital."

Paige stayed silent for a moment. "That won't work Phoebe." She said.

"Paige, what do you mean it won't work! We haven't got a choice." Phoebe said getting annoyed with her younger sister for taking so long.

"Phoebe, what do you think you're going to tell the doctors huh? 'Oh sorry doctor we were out at 11pm practising archery in the garden!?' Oh real clever!" she whispered to her so Piper wouldn't hear.

Phoebe thought about this for a minute. "Then what do you suggest?" she asked

"We need to orb him home." She said calmly.

"Home? What good will that do?" Phoebe started.

"Phoebe, please trust me!" Paige sighed.

"Paige, it's not me you'll have to worry about. It's Piper."

"What's taking you two so long! Hurry up!" Piper cried.

Paige walked over, and knelt down beside Piper "Sweetie, talking Leo to the doctor won't work and you know it." Paige said gently. Piper looked away.

"We don't have a choice Paige."

"Yes, we do!"

"What?" Piper asked

"We need to get him home, now and all of you as well." She concluded.

"Paige that's not explaining-" Piper started.

"Piper, I'll explain later!" Paige, gently took Leos hand in hers, and Pipers in her others. "Chris," she looked up at him and into his deep green eyes. "Could you try and orb Auntie Phoebe home with you while I orb your Mommy and Daddy?" Chris nodded silently, walking over to Phoebe and caught her hand he focused and after a few seconds, disappeared with Phoebe.

"Come on Piper." She said gently to her older sister and orbed out.

When they reappeared in The Manor, they saw Chris and Phoebe in a heap on the floor. Phoebe was first up and held her hand out for Chris to help him up. He took her hand and stood up. "You might want to practice the landings honey." She said smiling.

"Wyatt?" Paige called. "Wyatt will you come here? Daddy need's your help" Paige continued shouting this time. A sleepy looking Victor walked out of the living room.

"Girls? You found Chris?" he said, then noticed Leo on the floor. "Oh my god...."

"Dad now's not the time!" Phoebe stated.

Wyatt walked slowly down the stairs rubbing his eyes. "Mommy? What time is it?" he mumbled.

"Wyatt sweetie, will you come here a second. Aunt Paige needs you to help her somehow." Piper said, trying to act happy. Wyatt walked over and saw Leo lying on the ground, suddenly he was wide-awake.

"M-Mommy, is Daddy ok?"

"He's gonna be fine sweetie, don't worry. Now, finally Auntie Paige might tell us what's she's going to do."

"Okay, okay. Well, my theory is.... Um, remember when Cole was stabbed? And he went hours without any help from us? Well, when Leo tried to heal him it wasn't enough because of his demon side too, so he took my hand and the Half-Whitelighter in me helped heal him...I think, if Chris, Wyatt and I try all together... It might be enough. After all, that's 3 part whitelighters; it's got to count for something." She concluded.

Piper and Phoebe looked at each other, both having their doubts, but both knowing they had no other choice.

"But, the boys don't know how to heal..."

"Piper, I think that when it comes to saving their Dad, they'll know how."

Phoebe was now thinking about this herself. "It might work..." she thought "But what if it doesn't...Oh be quiet Phoebe you know it's Leo's only chance, and most of the time Paige's instincts have been right..."

"Okay, I say we try it." Phoebe said aloud.

"Great. What about you Piper?"

"I suppose it's the only chance we've got..." Piper said quietly.

"It is. Wyatt, Chris. This is what I want you to do ok?" she looked over to them as they came and sat down beside her. "Phoebe, could you uh...you know" she said pointing to the two arrows. Chris and Wyatt looked away.

"Um, alright then.." Phoebe said, gently trying to pull the arrows out of Leo.

"Okay, Wyatt, Chris place your hands over Daddy and think of how much you guys love him and want him to get better okay?" she pleaded with them.

Chris was the first to put his hands over Leo, Wyatt quickly followed him and lastly Paige, Piper and Phoebe could see the concentration on all three of their faces. Slowly but surely, a faint soft golden glow appeared after a few minutes.

"Phoebe, what if it's not strong enough?" Piper worried.

"Piper, We could hold onto Paige's free hand..."

"How would that help?" she said through tears.

"Well, that would be The Power of Three, on top of three half Whitelighters. And our love for Leo would flow through them, maybe enhancing the healing power?" She looked at Piper questioningly.

Piper thought about it for a moment or two. "It's worth a shot." She walked over and placed her hand in Paige's. She held out her free hand to Phoebe. Phoebe stepped in next to her, closing her eyes and focusing like the rest of her family. The faint golden glow suddenly glowed brighter and brighter, nearly lighting up the whole room.

Leo could feel himself changing. The light floating feeling seemed to be fading. He felt heavier, and slowly sinking. Chris however felt different, like Leo had been. Light and floating. He looked around him to see a faint white light surrounding him.

"Uh Dad...what's happening to me?" he looked panicked.

Leo smiled slightly. "You're moving on."

"Oh." Was all Chris could say.

"I guess this is goodbye then." Leo looked downwards, in the distance he could see his family crouched over his body. Above him, his son.

"It's never goodbye Dad. I promise. I'll never leave your side, or anyone else's for that matter. I live on in Chris, don't worry, you'll see it all soon enough." He said with a sparkle in his eyes. Tears silently slid down his cheeks. Leo, took one last chance and threw his arms around his now fading son.

"I love you Chris." He cried and kissed his sons head.

"I love you too Dad!"

A burst of light surrounded the two of them. They could see TCO's, Chris and Wyatt, and Victor. Piper, Paige and Phoebe looked up. They saw Chris surrounded by a sparkling white light.

"Goodbye you guys, I love you all. Blessed be...." His voice faded away, along with Chris himself.

Leo's eyes shot open. He looked around. He saw his family. His beautiful wife. His two witty sister-in-laws. His Father in law, smiling- a rare sight. His son Wyatt, looking at him in awe. His eyes landed lastly on Chris. Chris's sparkling green eyes looked right into Leo's

"I live on in Chris.... you'll see it all soon enough..."

A smile spread across Chris's face as he flung his arms around his father.

"Daddy!" Wyatt and Chris shouted in unison. They were quickly followed by shouts from the sisters.

"Leo!" they cried. Piper flung threw her arms around his neck and cried tears of joy. "You're ok! I thought I'd lost you! Oh honey, I love you so much! I'm so sorry!" she cried into his shoulder.

"Piper, it's ok, it's alright. I'm alright, we're alright." He soothed her.

"P-Phoebe...was it just me or did..." Paige stuttered.

"Did I see Chris?" Phoebe finished.

"Yeah..." she said quietly.

"Leo, I saw him, he was there above you when-when we healed you." Piper said through her tears.

"I know honey, I saw him too. He's alright. He's moved on now. Everything is going to be okay now. I promise. I'll never let anything hurt you or our sons ever again. And Chris is always going to be there with us, and in little Chris, he was a part of our lives that we'll never forget."

"I know, I know...I missed him so much you know. And it's comforting to know that he's safe, and he's always been there and always will be. But I'll never forget him, not ever. Do you hear that Mister?" she said looking up towards the ceiling. "I love you, you know!"

"He knows Piper, he knows..." He smiled and looked into his wife's eyes and kissed her gently on the lips.

Chris looked down from the heavens and smiled, he looked around at his ancestors before looking back down. "I know Mom, I know...."
