Thanks for your reviews, guys. You know I'm writing this for you so don't be afraid to push the 'go' button that's next the 'submit review' text.

Forgive me

Chris and Cole were standing on the top of Golden Gate Bridge.

"Wow, this is breathtaking view, Chrispie. And that silence. Why haven't I been here yet?"

"Because you were a demon and demons don't like pretty things and when you were good you didn't have time to think about anything but Phoebe." Chris smiled.

"This... this is weird, you know too much about me."

"Not only too much, I know everything... " Chris pointed his finger at Cole and said slowly "every single thing"

"OK, just don't scare me. OK?" They started to laugh but after a while Chris stopped.

"You know, Cole, I'm glad you're here. I missed you."

"Although I can't tell that I missed you, because I just met you, I'm glad that I'm here too." Cole wanted to continue but he saw the orbs forming into a person.

"Well, Chrispie, you know, I haven't thanked your aunt Paige yet. It had to be hard for her to support me. So I'll go now, but you stay here, OK. Just enjoy the view and mainly, stay here." Chris was confused.

"But Cole, why.... " Before he could finished the sentence Cole shimmered out. Chris didn't know what to think about it, so he wanted to orb back to the manor.

"Chris... " Chris almost fell from the bridge. He didn't know that somebody was standing behind him so the voice scared him. Then he realised that this was the real reason Cole left.

"Leo, what are you doing here?" He said curtly.

"We have to talk."

"No, there's nothing we can talk about."

"Look Chris, I know that you hate me, I know why you hate me and I think that you have the right for doing it. But Chris, I'm not the person you know from the future, you don't know how I feel when I see the hatred in your eyes..." Chris turned to face Leo.

"You think I don't know how you feel? I've been feeling it all my life... more than twenty years. I wished I didn't know you. I had friends that never met their fathers and they were happy. But no, you always had to come and show me that I was not good enough for you. And now you're saying how you feel when I hate you. Guess what, you at least know why I'm doing it, but I never knew, I was just a kid and I needed love but my father could only misprize me." Chris was pissed.

"I know you hate my guts. But I'm here, you can kick my ass if you want, I won't defend myself. I want you just..." Leo yelled.

"I don't have time for this." Chris started to orb.

"I... I love you Chris. You're my son and I love you." The tears were running down Leo's face.

"You're the son I always wanted to have. You're good, you're smart after your mom and stubborn after your aunts and you're the bravest man I ever met. You left everything just to save your brother. I'm so proud of you, son. I'm as proud as only father can be. I'm sorry for everything I did, for everything I didn't do. Please, forgive me. I want to be your father, I want to see the smile on your face, I want you to be happy. Forgive me. I love you."

Chris was standing there and crying. He waited almost 23 years to hear these words. He wanted to hug his dad, he wanted to say how much he loved him, but he couldn't. He couldn't forget 22 years Leo just ignored him. He wasn't prepared to forgive him, not yet.

Leo was watching the melting orbs after his son left. He wanted to pull his heart out of his chest and throw it into the river. He would do anything just not to feel the pain. He fell on his knees and cried.

--------------------------------------------------

"Wanna hang out for a few hours?" Cole was standing in the foyer "Chrispie?"

"Of course and don't call me Chrispie, please."

"So, Chrispie's going. Paige?"

"Why not. I don't have to be afraid of your demon half, so, let's go!"

"Piper?"

"I rather stay at home, you know, I'm pregnant. But you guys go and have fun."

"Leo?" Leo looked at Chris.

"I'll stay here with Piper and Wyatt. Just in case, you know."

"So there's just we three, here we go!"

"And when you'll be there... somewhere, could you buy some ingredients for the dinner?" Piper gave them a list, very long list.

"But mom..."

"Chrispie, don't talk back to your mom! Of course we'll buy it." Cole took the list "What wouldn't I do for my favourite ex-sister-in-low." Cole smiled at Piper and shimmered out while Chris and Paige were orbing.

---------------------------------------------------

Piper rushed into the kitchen.

"Shhh, be quiet!"

"Hi Piper, here you are." Cole said as he was putting the shopping bag on the table.

"Did you have fun?"

"More than fun" Cole, Chris and Paige looked at each other and laughed.

"Shhh, be quiet! They're sleeping."

"Who is sleeping?"

"OK, I'll check the book" Paige orbed to the attic.

"Why is she checking the book?"

"Well, we met a demon and he wasn't very nice, but don't worry, mom, we'll fix it. Anyway, who is sleeping?"

They went to the living room. Leo was sitting on the couch and holding Wyatt, they both were sleeping.

"Wyatt was crying, so Leo orbed for him. I went to the kitchen to prepare a snack for us. When I came back to the living room they were already sleeping. They've been sleeping for two hours and I'm not able to stop watching them. They're looking like angels."

"Maybe because one of them is an angel, literally." Cole smiled at Piper, he noticed that Chris was smiling too.

"Once, when I was about three, mom and Wyatt went to an appointment. Nobody was at home, so Leo had to stay with me. I remember that I ate something off and I felt sick. But Leo healed me. Then I felt asleep. I had a nightmare. I was sitting in my playpen when a demon arrived. I was crying but nobody heard me. I was all alone. Nobody wanted to save me, I was so scared. When I woke up I cried, then I realised that somebody was holding me. Dad held me tight and I felt safe like never before." Piper came to Chris, kissed him on his cheek and hugged him.

"I don't know why I said it. I felt like I had to say something nice and this was the only one pleasant remembrance I have about Leo and me." Chris was looking at Wyatt and Leo and a tear ran down his cheek.
