Chapter Two

"LEO!" Leo could hear Piper calling him. Well it started out as calling. Now it was screaming.

Concerned that there may be a demon attack He quickly orbed into the manor, only to find a pissed looking Piper waiting for him.

"What's happened?" Leo asked panicked "Has a demon attacked? Is everyone alright?"

"No everyone isn't alright," Piper answered "Chris isn't alright!"

"WHAT!" Leo cried "What happened? Did a demon…" He trailed off, not wanting to hear the answer.

"No a demon didn't get at him,"

"Then what?" Leo asked getting rather annoyed that Piper wasn't giving him a straight answer.

"He's been suspended from school for fighting,"

"What! You called me down here to what reprimand him is that it," Leo answered harshly "Jesus Piper. I thought there'd been an attack. I don't have time for this,"

"You got something better to do huh?" she asked, "Do you at least want to know why he was fighting. Or can't you spare me or him five minutes?"

Leo sighed and sat down "Alright why was he fighting?"

"A boy at school told him that his dad didn't love him,"

"So that gives him an excuse to go around hitting people?"

"Oh course not! That's not my point. Chris feels unloved by you,"

Leo jumped up from the sofa angrily "Oh I don't have time for this,"

"No! You never do, do you Leo," she accused.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Leo asked defensively

"When it comes to Chris you never have the time. You never have!" Piper could feel herself getting more and more angry with her ex husband. "He needs his father,"

"I can't do this right now," Leo began to leave but Piper grabbed at his orbs.

"No Leo," Piper began "Don't you leave me to deal with this on my own again, you did that fourteen years ago,"

"That's not fair,"

"No what wasn't fair, was you leaving me to bring up our son on my own, while you went your one man crusade,"

"I was trying to find our son," Leo yelled.

"I know that. But you do have another son. Remember him!" Piper yelled back.

Leo didn't answer her; he just stood looking at his shoes as Piper carried on ranting. When she had finished she waited for him to answer her, but he didn't he just orbed out leaving her alone.

Leo orbed up to the golden gate bridge and sat watching the traffic below. What Piper said had hurt. "You do have another son. Remember him!" Of course he did. He knew that he hadn't really been fair to Chris, never being there for the boy, but that didn't mean that he wasn't watching over him. Piper didn't know this. She didn't know of all the times that Leo had been watching his family from the shadows. She didn't know that Leo had spent so many nights just watching Chris sleep; even now he still kept an eye on his son, on his baby. It wasn't that he didn't love him. He did more than life he was just scared of showing him. Scared that if he did that the elders would take him to. His world fell apart after Wyatt was taken; the elders now knew how to hurt him and after what he had done to seek revenge, he feared that they would go after getting theirs too. So that was why he had abandoned his family, left them when they needed him the most, because he was scared that they would be harmed, if he stayed around.

All of a sudden Leo doubled over in pain, he pulled his legs up from over the bar and curled up in a ball. The feeling was so intense that Leo began to feel dizzy. He knew where it was coming from, he knew who was causing it. Chris! Chris was in trouble, real trouble that he couldn't get out of. Using all the strength he had Leo tried to sense his son.

Realising Chris was outside P3, he quickly orbed over there to find him lying on the floor surrounded by a group of boys. "Hey," Leo yelled pushing the boys out of the way so he could get to Chris. "What the hell do you think your doing?" he asked angrily.

"That's just a warning Halliwell," the ringleader spat totally ignoring Leo "Get in my face again and I'll finish what I started," he added before walking away. Leo helped Chris into the sitting position, checking no one was around began to heal his wounds. "What was that all about?" Leo asked.

"Nothing. It doesn't matter,"

"Are they bullying you?" Leo asked as he finished healing him. Chris remained silent. Leo decided not to push the subject. Chris wouldn't open up him anyway. "Well you'll live," Leo said pulling Chris up off the floor. "I take it you don't want your mother knowing about this," Chris nodded gratefully.

Chris could sense that Leo felt just as awkward as he did. It was sad really; this was his father, yet he couldn't think of anything to say to him. "Well," Leo was the first to speak "I better get going,"

"Thanks dad," Chris answered as Leo dissolved into blue orbs, leaving him alone.
