Chapter Three: Damaged

My heart's at a low
I'm so much to manage
I think you should know that
I've been damaged
I'm falling in love
There's one disadvantage
I think you should know that I've been damaged

TLC's "Damaged"

Thirteen year old, Melinda Halliwell ran down the stairs of the pink, Victorian Manor: the home of her family and her heritage. Her shoulder length brown hair was bouncing as she walked down the stairs. Her chocolate eyes, which she inherited from her mother, scanned the room behind a pair of glasses; another trait she inherited from her mother: nearsightedness.

Her Aunts Phoebe and Paige were sitting in the sun room enjoying a glass of iced tea. Her two favorite cousins, and best friends, Henry Jr. and Patty were sitting on the wicker sofa waiting for her.

Henry Jr. and Patty were both a year younger than she but the three had bonded ever since childhood and don't consider themselves to be cousins but best friends.

'There you are Melinda. Took you long enough to get dressed." Phoebe laughed as she sipped her tea.

"Sorry, I couldn't find my glasses." She giggled.

"Okay, then let's go, your Uncle Coop is in the car waiting to take you guys to the movies. Remember, Patty, no candy. Not until we get that cavity taken care of." Paige let out a laugh.

'Like you never had one." Phoebe said to her younger sister.

"Actually I have one right now." Paige said making it funnier by sticking out her tongue.

'Where is everyone else?" Melinda asked as she grabbed her purse from the wicker sofa.

"Uncle Henry took Penny, Alex, and Alicia to Chucky Cheeses." Paige smiled at her niece.

"And Prue?" Melinda inquired: another Halliwell trait inherited from her mother. The ability to ask as many questions as possible.

"Doing some high school thing." Patty said with an attitude. "Too cool to come to the movies with us."

"Patricia, we had this conversation. Prue is at a cheerleading practice." Phoebe said to her middle daughter.

"Sorry Mom." Patty said.

"Now go before your father get's irritated."

"Yes, Mom." Patty said heading towards the door.

"Bye Mom." Henry Jr. said kissing his mother on the cheek.

'I love you, have fun!" Paige smiled at her oldest.

And the three friends were gone.

"Okay, now why did we cancel this play date and make our husbands take the kids out?" Phoebe said as she turned around and looked at Paige.

"I got serious news for you and I wanted to run it by you before we tell Piper. When is she coming home anyways?"

"I don't know. She had to run down to the restaurant. Now what is that it you have to tell me?"

"It's about Leo." Paige said staring at her sister in the eyes.

"What about Leo?" Phoebe asked, her curiosity peaked.

"I was at Magic School." Paige started only to be quickly interrupted.

"On a Saturday?" Phoebe asked.

"I some paper work to do but that I not the point, I was walking down the hall and I heard voices in Leo's office. I peaked in and I saw Leo and Chris just sitting down talking."

"Chris was supposed to be upstairs cleaning out the attic." Phoebe said.

"Either way he was with Leo. Leo was telling Chris about his past. A past that involves a love affair with a man."

"What?" Phoebe said.

"Leo dated a man in the seventies. A man he told Chris that he still loves even to this day."

"Piper will die." Phoebe said realizing the severity of this information and it's potentially harmful affect on the eldest sister.

"What am I going to die about?" Piper asked as she stood in the doorway to the sun room.

"That Chris went to Magic School instead of cleaning." Paige said quickly.

"He went where??!!" Piper said sharply. Phoebe shot a "good job idiot" glance at Paige.

"CHRISTOPHER HALLIWELL!" Piper roared at the sky. Her brown eyes wide with rage.

Three long minutes went by before the two bodies of Christopher and Leo appeared.

"Why the hell were you at magic school? And why the hell didn't you send him home?" Piper asked her son and husband.

"I had to talk with Dad, Mom." Chris said nervously.

"And what about that you couldn't wait until your father got home from work?" Piper asked.

"I don't really think that is relevant." Leo interjected. Paige looked at him with a smirk that Leo didn't see.

"It is too relevant, Leo. I caught him with a cigarette yesterday and he was supposed to be cleaning the attic." Piper said to her husband.

"Like you never smoked, Piper? Like none of you three didn't? Prue was the only one of sisters that never touched a cigarette." Leo said matter of factly.

"That's different we were older." Piper said.

"Someone better tell me what was so gosh darn important."

"Piper, it's between me and Chris. It was parental bonding." Leo said.

"Leo Nathan Wyatt, if no one tells me what was said, I will cast a truth spell." Piper said. Her tone serious and without a doubt.

"Mom, I don't want to talk about it okay." Chris said.

"Chris, why would go to your father about something and not come to me?" Piper asked. Her true feelings being revealed: she was hurt her son didn't come to her.

"Because Mom, it was something only Dad would understand. It was a guy issue."

"Chris, are you having sex? Is it that Bianca girl you're always hanging out with?" Piper asked.

"No, mom! I'm a virgin! And Bianca is my best friend." Chris said embarrassed.

Phoebe and Paige giggled to themselves receiving death glares from their nephew.

"Piper, don't you think you're overreacting to a son coming to see his father?" Leo asked calmly.

"Leo, I just want to know what's going on. I smell something funny and it doesn't sit right with me." Piper said, her hands on her hips.

"Piper, trust me. It is nothing serious." Leo said to his wife.

At that moment, Paige let out a loud laugh of skepticism.

"What was that for?" Piper asked her youngest sister

"Why don't you ask Leo?"

"Paige, why are you being weird?" Leo asked.

"Nothing, I just heard some interesting things today." Paige said singing, "Don we now our gay apparel."

"And why are you singing Christmas songs in October?" Piper asked confused. Phoebe was looking at her brother-in-law.

"Leo has something he needs to tell you." Paige said. Leo was secretly dreading his life as he knew it.

"Leo?" Piper asked as she pushed a strand of brown hair behind her ear.

"Dad?" Chris asked nervous for his father.

"What is going on here because apparently all of you know what this about?" Piper said looking at her sisters, her son and her husband.

"Piper, can we go upstairs and talk?" Leo asked.

"Fine, you stay put mister." Piper said pointing at her youngest son.

"Alright Mom." Chris said obediently.

"Paige, if you would." And Paige nodded and waved her arm at them and the two disappeared in a swirl of white and blue lights.

"Aunt Paige, is there a reason you were being a bitch?" Chris asked his aunt. His rage barely kept contained.

"Christopher Perry Halliwell, you do not talk to your Aunt like that." Phoebe scolded.

Paige looked at her nephew. "I'm not being a bitch. I just think your father needs to come clean to your mother."

"It is none of your business though!" Chris said to his Aunt.

"It is when it comes to my sister." Paige said. "I'm the adult, you are not."

"I always thought you were cool, and not a homophobe." Chris said putting his hands in the pockets of his jeans.

"I am not a homophobe, Chris. I just don't think your father should be professing how much he is still in love with a man and then come home and play house with my sister."

"It's not like that though. Dad was in love with him only to have Michael die."

"Chris, I know you're upset but we are trying to spare your mother a lot of heartbreak. She's had it rough, we all have. With Prue's death those many years ago, and Grandpa Victor's death three months ago. It's been rough. She looses everything over secrets." Phoebe said.

"Grandpa died because he didn't tell anyone about his lung cancer. It is not our fault. Aunt Prue was killed because you had time reset."

"Chris, you crossed the line right there." Paige said, as Phoebe started to get tears in her eyes.

"You weren't even there." Chris said to his Aunt.

"Chris, so help my God, you are going to be in so much trouble if you don't apologize to both of us right now." Paige said trying to be threatening to her nephew.

"I'm sorry, but if Mom and Dad break up, there will be hell on this earth. I will banish my powers and live life as a mortal with Dad." Chris said with conviction.

"Don't be so cocky. It's your destiny." Phoebe said.

"Actually, I, Wyatt and Aunt Paige's kids don't have a destiny. Your daughters are the second generation Charmed Ones." Chris said to his Aunt Phoebe.

Their argument was cut off by a fit of yelling. They could hear Piper screaming at Leo. There was a small explosion. Piper must have blown something up. And the last thing they heard was, "GET OUT LEO! GET OUT RIGHT NOW!"
