X vs Piper

Chapter 5

The truth spell. Piper Halliwell, the lady who has always been avoiding magic, opting for a normal life is now resorting to an act of personal gain. She knew it was wrong because she was falling in love with her captor. It was wrong. She didn't expect this to happen but it did. Love comes and love goes. What happens when she returns to Leo? What is she going to tell him? Can she bear to see the look in his face when she breaks the news? He loves her so much and never once gave up on her. He would clip his wings for her and die if he must. And she was the same. She loved him. The word loved hurt her because she knew she now loves someone else, someone like Xavier.

The spell was casted and she went to Xavier's room. "I have a question for you. Who are you really?" Piper said in a serious tone. She tapped her feet, fiddled with her fingers. She was anxious. She wants to know and yet she is afraid. What if he is not who she thinks he is?

"I can only show you. I no longer know who I am. I lost myself." There and then, he took his mask off. He finally took the silvery mask that covered his face all these times. That mask didn't just cover his face but everything everyone knows about him. He never once leaks his identity and yet today he did it. "Piper…you casted a spell?", Xavier choked. He was stunned. He stood there and in shocked of what he just did. This would ruin everything he has been trying to do, everything he has been planning to do.

"It's you. How could you have done all these? You broke our promises." Piper couldn't believe her eyes. Her heart was breaking. In many ways, she regretted casting that spell that now will scar her for life. How is she going back to her current life? How is she going to face him when she sees him? He was important to him.

All the panic and sadness brought Piper's labor on. The first contraction hit her hard. It was deep and painful. There are so many questions in her mind. She needed answers and yet her body isn't letting her. It is as if her baby was helping the man that just betrayed her.

"Piper, hear me out. This is not how I wanted you to find out." The man behind the mask held onto her shoulder. Piper shrugged away, unable to voice out her mind. All she could feel at that moment was panic and pain. She let out a cry, "The baby's coming. Please don't harm her. Please let her go. Please Leo. She is your child too"

The captor, the man behind the mask is Leo Wyatt. Leo Wyatt, the man Piper married and loved dearly is the man who she has been scared of all these while. She couldn't comprehend why he, of all people, would want to hurt his own blood and flesh.

"Piper, your water broke. There is no need to panic. Just breathe and calm down." Leo picked her up and brought her to the bed. He made her as comfortable as possible but he knew that she is great pain and there is nothing he can do but to wait for the baby to come out. Piper had never felt something so intense and painful before. Every contraction surged through her body reminded her that her baby is coming soon and that she will lose her. It is not her baby's time yet, not the time for her to accept death. "Leo, don't do it. Please don't take her away from me." Leo felt her pain. Despite the enormous childbirth pain, Piper is more concerned about her baby's safety than hers but Leo needed to complete his task. He didn't come back to the past to regret what he did. "Piper, just don't think about it and he is a boy. He is a very adorable boy who ended up doing unforgivable things. I need to take him away from this world. You won't understand now but you will in the future." Leo words echoed through Piper's ear as she yelled out in pain again. Another strong contraction has passed and soon after her baby was born. Wyatt Matthew Halliwell was born to the world.

Leo held the new born in his hands. He felt the joy that he has not felt for a while now. He kissed his forehead and murmured, "I am sorry, so sorry that I wasn't a good father." He passed the baby to Piper who cuddled him gently. She instantly bonded with her new born. He was her life and she knew she has to die protecting him. "Piper, give me the child. I am not going to kill him. He is my baby too! Do you really think I am that cold? I just needed to bring him away from everything and everyone. I am bringing him to somewhere pure where I will dedicate my life to protect and teach him. I promised your future self that I will do this so please let me have him." Leo explained. "Leo Wyatt, you are taking my child away from me and you are telling me that you are doing something good? I want to be there for him too. I want to be his mother, to love and to care. If this is what I agreed on in the future, prove it. Ask myself to tell me." Piper held tightly onto her child. She refuses to believe that her future self would think that it is better for Wyatt to leave her that to be by her.

Leo choked. His eyes were tearing. "Please Piper, I can't tell you. Future consequences. You know it."

"What is worse that losing my child?" Piper said in a stern voice.

"You died." Leo said in tears and refused to see her in the eye.

Just before Piper could say anything, she heard a voice. "How touching dad. Now give me the baby. I really wouldn't want to hurt you at this point of your life but don't force me to like mum did back then. I can't risk you changing my destiny now would I?" Adult Wyatt said coldly. Piper couldn't believe her ears. This adult here is her innocent little baby and he claimed to have killed her.

"No! Wyatt, there is no way I will let you take you away from me. This baby isn't supposed to turn into an evil beast that killed his mother!" Leo said and snatched baby Wyatt off Piper as he tried to orb out but he was too slow. Wyatt flicked his hand and Leo smashes into the walls of the cave. His hands were protecting the baby. From his eyes, Piper could see how hard he is protecting the baby. She tried to help but she was too weak. The labor took too much energy off her and in fact she is still hemorrhaging, losing blood as they fight. "No! Wyatt, stop it! He is your father!" Piper shrieked as she watches Wyatt smashing Leo and all. The call from Piper distracted Wyatt which gave Leo the chance to grab an athame and stabbed into baby Wyatt who died instantly.

"NO!" Piper cried out in tears. Adult Wyatt who felt the stabbed, shot out electricity towards Leo before he dissipated in thin air, leaving Leo who is badly injured. "Piper, I am sorry that I had to do this." Leo said weakly. He held his hands over her and healed her. With his last breath, he orbed Piper back to the manor and dissipated after.

Piper who was orbed back, laid on the floor, shocked and despaired.
