Wyatt felt the impending doom wash over him as he followed his Elder father away from the light of his house. Right at that moment, he would have rather been with his mother getting yelled at and then grounded or something. Anything would be better right now then following his dad to the street and being talked to death.

Don't get him wrong. He loved his dad. He just hated it when it came down to himself and his father having a heart to heart.

Wyatt didn't like to do the whole talking about emotions things like his dad did. It just wasn't right. He liked doing things, and he liked figuring stuff out better. He had never been the one to go to his father and tell him all his earthly troubles. Basically, one cause his father had his own troubles and two he just didn't want to hear his father's passive aggressive bs.

"Dad, can we not and say we did?" Wyatt asked as they both stepped off the dark green lush lawn and onto the crumbling gray sidewalk.

Wherever they were going, Leo sure was in the mood to walk somewhere else. Wyatt didn't want to though. He just wanted to stay close to home. He had so may questions and answers that he needed to get from Brooke that it was disgusting. Of course, he couldn't easily do that when his father was pulling him away to walking down the long hill away from Brooke instead of letting him just stay and be happy for once with her.

You had to love San Francisco. It seemed like everything was either a downhill or uphill struggle. The battle with gravity let alone the traveling up hill part sucked.

The fact that his father hadn't just chosen to orb somewhere only meant this was going to be longer. It was like his father was trying to screw him over.

Here he was finally reunited with the girl he had never ever been able to get over and his had father decided to have a little heart to heart chat with him the same night. How nice. How beautiful. Where was his father when he actually wanted to talk? Oh, out helping the world.

Leo glanced over at his son. He knew that Wyatt wanted to be anywhere but here with him. He knew that the moment that he said 'go' Wyatt would literally pouf out to be closer to Brooke. Which worried him. Yet, in the same rite, he knew that he had once been in his son's shoes and he just wanted to make sure Wyatt truly knew what he was getting himself into, and that he just wasn't going along with it hormonally.

"No, we can't, Wyatt. Whether you like it or not that girl has brought with her consequences that you will have to face." Leo told his son.

He hated having to be in this position. He hated having to say 'oh, you can love that girl, but the one you actually do have feelings for you can't be with.' He hated that.

He loved knowing that his family was built to save the world and that they did so so gracefully, but then he hated having to tell his own son that he couldn't be with someone he knew loved because it may effect the fate of the world.

He had seen it the moment that Wyatt had finally introduced her to them. The look. He had had the same look when he had been falling in love with Piper. He had had the same problems too.

First, he fell for her, but then he couldn't be with her. The Elders had prohibited any white lighters from actually marrying any of their charges. He had loved Piper so much though. He had been willing to go against them. Hell, he had clipped his wings for awhile because he had stopped her from dying when she had been supposed to.

He had went against the Elders and had fallen for Piper. They had even tried to have a secret wedding that the Elders couldn't break them apart with, but the Elders had somehow found out about. Later, Leo had decided it was probably through Cole, but he had never been able to be sure. Then, Piper had done or said something that had changed the Elders minds. For once the Elders had seen that something in her that had made him fall for her from the first moment he had seen her.

Then, they had finally finally finally he couldn't even emphasis finally enough, been able to be married.

So, when Wyatt had brought Brooke home to introduce her to them Leo had seen that very same look he had had for Piper. Then, the Elders had came once Wyatt and Brooke were steadily dating and told them of her great future of being evil. So, he had to think fast.

Leo had known that Brooke was good. He had seen it. The Elders wouldn't listen to him though. Then, they had made him bring Wyatt up to them so they could explain to him what she would become. Wyatt had resisted it the whole time. Leo knew that was when he had started to hate the Elders. Leo had too when they had restricted him from Piper.

The hardest thing he had had to do was watch Wyatt after that. The Elders had watched him too and they had been furious with him for leaving their little pow wow up the air just to see her. Leo had, of course, defended his son. He had brought up the point that if you were to lose one of the loves of your lives you should at least be able to say goodbye the right way.

The Elders had resisted him at first, but given him that.

The Elders. Sometimes Leo didn't even know how they could be so powerful when none of them seemed to have any sort of caring towards love or humans as it was.

So, Wyatt had gotten away with is goodbye. But the Elders had watched him closely after that and had seen for themselves that it hadn't been a goodbye. Wyatt had kept seeing her despite what Piper and Leo had told him. So the Elders had decided to do something drastic to start the chain of events of having Brooke leave.

They had killed her mother.

Leo had never agreed to that. He didn't known why killing someone needed to be done. He didn't see how this could be so a big a deal. He had thought that if they could just prevent Brooke from becoming evil in the first place then they would all be fine. The Elders had been against that though. They had reverted back to thinking of him as just some white lighter scum on the bottom of their sky clad shoes and had dismissed him.

So, they had done it. Then, Brooke's father had decided to leave. He had a plan to move away and Leo had understood the Elders reasoning for killing her mother then. Her mother was the reason they were sill in San Francisco and with her gone then Brooke's father would chose to move and start the destiny that was waiting for her. So, Brooke had moved away.

The Elders had let the matter drop, had assured Leo there would be other girls for Wyatt, and then they had went back to their business. Leo hadn't though. He had watched his son start to deteriorate for awhile. The Wyatt he had known had slowly disappeared. He had been nothing like the one he had known.

He had stopped eating for awhile. He had even become more distant and spacey as if he had to be somewhere else. For awhile, he hadn't even talked to Piper or Leo. Which Leo knew had hurt Piper.

She had blamed herself for everything. She had been the swing vote. She had only voted in order to save Wyatt from being in love with someone evil and then having to vanquish them himself. She had never meant for Brooke's mother to die in the process.

Piper had had to vanquish people she had loved that had turned evil before, and so had her sisters, and she had hoped she could save her children from it. But it hadn't worked that well.

Leo had watched his son carefully then. The Elders had given him free leave since they knew this would be tough on Wyatt. Like the factor that it was their faults in the first place had nothing to do with them.

So he had. Then, he had started to see a few changes.

Wyatt had started to eat a little more. He had actually smiled at some jokes that Chris had thrown out there. Hell, he had even started to trash talk the Elders instead of being quiet all the time.

So, when Leo had a feeling Wyatt was doing something he shouldn't he had started to find out he was right. Leo had hung out in Wyatt's room for awhile trying to see what he could come up with. He had found dirty clothes, a few magazines his mother would kill him for owning, and pictures of her.

It had been almost like a shrine in the one corner of his room dedicated to Brooke.

So, when Wyatt had came into the room Leo had turned himself invisible to find out what really was going on. He then had found Wyatt cast a spell that had instantly thrown him unconscious. The big part though wasn't the fact that his son was unconscious but that he was saying that spell in order to go into Brooke's dream to see her.

It had been a tricky concept. He wasn't really seeing Brooke. All he was doing was talking to her or communing with her through her dreams. So, Leo had let it go.

He hadn't wanted to see his son lose the love of his life in the first place. So, the next time that Wyatt had done the same thing he had cast a protection spell over him. A protection spell that would cover his presence from being any where near Brooke's.

"Look, I have faced the consequences. You hate and mom hates and the Elders hated her, but I love her. There's no way I am just going to stand by and wait for some lunatic to come and kill her like he did her friend. No way, so don't even try to talk me out of this."

Leo paused for a moment and nodded. "I'm not."

"What? Really? Wait is this some Elder trick or something?" Wyatt asked as he walked in front of his father to block his path and they both stopped.

"No, it's not. Wyatt, when I found out about her I didn't want her to hurt you. I thought that keeping you away from her and her future would be safer for you. Then I saw you. I saw how you were without her and how much it hurt you. Your mother and I lost you the night we agreed with the Elders to start her destiny. And after all this time I've realized how much of a hypocrite I am." Leo told his son.

"What? Back up a second. I don't think I heard you right."

"Your mother and I were in the same position once. Well, she wasn't going to turn evil but we were basically in the same position. The Elders restricted us and we fought them. That's what happened with you. I was just... caught up in trying to save you from evil that I made the wrong choice."

"You did, did you?" Wyatt gaped.

"Yes, I did. Now, I am not saying that you still shouldn't be careful around her. I am saying that if you love her then I'll stand by you this time. However, you have to watch your back. She's evil now. She isn't exactly your former girlfriend so try to be cautious around since you don't know who's side she really is playing for. The last thing I want is to lose my son to evil."

"Alright," Wyatt replied as he ran his hand through his unruly mesh of curled hair as it all came over him.

"As long as we're on the same page."

"Definitely. Wow, thanks dad. I thought this was going to be an ongoing babbling sessions on feelings. Boy, was I wrong. Thanks." Wyatt replied with an old smile on his lips.

He went to orb home but Leo interrupted him, "Just be careful."

"When am I not, dad?" Wyatt replied and then orbed.

Leo had to admit never.
