Chapter Five
"Oh no not againÉ" Bianca paused abruptly in the doorway, dismayed at the sight in front of her.
Chris was lying down on the couch, twitching and trying to cool down his body that was gripped in a deadly fever. He was mumbling incoherently while Leo was mopping his brow.
"Bianca
The witch in question moved quickly to his side, grabbed the cloth from Leo with a nod of thanks, and began mopping his brow as Leo had done. The sister appeared a beat behind her.
"What do you Ôagain'?" Piper asked sharply.
"What happened last time?" Phoebe asked at the same time.
Bianca did not reply immediately, so intent was she on her task. Upon closer inspection though, Paige could see that she was frowning in an attempt not to cry, and her hands were shaking as she tried to undo his shirt buttons in an attempt to get him to cool down more. A few minutes of tense silence passed until Bianca replied:
Last time, he was begging for someone he could not have. And it almost killed him. " There was a slight pause for a few seconds while Bianca let the news sink in.
"Who - ?" Leo tried to ask Bianca, but was interrupted by Piper.
"He was begging for his mother wasn't he? For me?" Piper's voice was choked. Her voice betraying what she really thought of herself – what a bad mother she was, to have left her son go through life with out her. Phoebe put her arms around her sister in an attempt to comfort her.
Bianca gasped and looked up at Piper sharply.
"He told you?" Bianca began, her voice as sharp as the look on her face but was silenced when Chris shifted under her touch. She looked down at his pained face, and her expression softened as did her voice. "I suppose it was only a matter of time really. " Bianca looked at Chris and spoke as if she was the only one in the room with him.
"God knows that you deserve to see her and speak to her againÉYou taught me that nothing matters except the here and now, so in a way, it's a good thing that you should drop our cover story, and I shouldn't be mad at you for it, sweetie. " Bianca ran her finger across a scar on Chris's chest and smiled a small, sad smile. "You've sacrificed so much alreadyÉ. As have all of us with magic in the Resistance have doneÉ. So it's only fitting that you, as the leader, should get something good out of all this – seeing the thing you most want and adore in the whole world, in all timeÉ something that I could never give youÉ" Bianca did not realise that she had been crying, until Phoebe pressed a tissue into her hand, while Piper, and Leo looked on, gaining an insight into the kind of man their son would turn into, what kind of man he had been, until the weight of the world had been thrown onto his shoulders, changing him forever.
