Begging
A one-shot written by Mistress Wisewings
Summary: Happens during 2x08, Awakening. Leo watches as Piper gets very sick and begs the Elders to let him go to her. They refuse. This is Leo's story as Piper dies and he has nothing he can do about it.
~*~
Leo Wyatt has lived for a long time and has seen a lot of horrible things come to pass. Hell, he even had to leave his wife behind as he became a Whitelighter. At least she moved on with her life. But nothing compared to the feelings he felt when he watched the love of his life, Piper Halliwell, become sick. Leo wanted, more than anything, to be there when Piper collapsed and Phoebe screamed for help.
Gripping his hands into fists, he stormed over to the Elders, who sat watching him with blank eyes.
"Please," he said, "let me go to her."
"We cannot let you do that, Leo," one of the Elders said. "This must come to pass by itself."
"Why won't you let me be there for one of my charges as she gets sick?" Leo replied angrily.
"Even if you were there at her side, you couldn't do anything. Piper Halliwell was not touched by evil and you wouldn't be able to heal her, like we know you do."
Leo wanted to rant and scream and yell, but he knew better. Biting his tongue, he left the room and continued to watch over his lover, the one he called his soul mate. His heart literally tore to pieces as he saw her grow worse, slipping into a coma. He watched as Phoebe and Prue cry when Dr. Williamson told them that it was up to Piper if she wanted to live. It tore him that he couldn't be there like Dan was, to help comfort the sisters as Piper lay dying on the hospital bed. The thought of Piper dying made his heart stop and his breath to catch in his chest. He knew he would be in a good deal of pain should she die.
Please, he thought, staring down at Piper's unconscious body, don't leave me. I couldn't bear it if you died.
