44Chapter 5:
As soon as his son was escorted safely out of the room Wyatt turned and advanced upon Bianca. By now she was cowering with fear. She decided to try and negotiate with him; after all they were once lovers.
"Wyatt baby, I have missed you." She tried which only caused Wyatt to growl low in his throat.
"You are the one who left! You are the one who stole my son!"
"Our son." She muttered again.
"MY SON!" Wyatt bellowed, all self-restraint vanishing at that moment. "No mother would hurt their child, and Chris. He is terrified of you! What kind of a mother is that!"
Wyatt took another threatening step forward, but Leo blocked his path "Easy son, if you hurt Bianca she will be able to claim in court that you are abusive and that will make it near impossible to gaining custody." Wyatt took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down more.
"I took him away to save him from YOU!" Bianca bellowed. Everyone just looked at her shocked.
"What the hell is that supposed to mean?" Paige said to the room.
"Wyatt would never do anything to hurt his son." Phoebe muttered.
"Sooner or later he would have got bored of him and then he would have been left on his own. I took him away so that I could teach him that no-one loves him from an early age, so that he wouldn't be disappointed in later life." She sounded so sure of her statement that all of the Halliwells looked at her like she should be in an asylum.
It was Wyatt who finally spoke. "Oh I get it." Piper looked at him questionly and Bianca looked at him with barely disguised hatred. "I knew that there was something wrong with the way that you interacted with Chris when he was a baby, and then whenever I came along to give him just a little bit of attention, you looked at me like I was cheating on you."
"THAT'S IT!" Phoebe exclaimed "You left because you were jealous of a BABY!"
"You really do need some medical help." Paige muttered darkly.
Wyatt orbed a piece of paper into his hand and then walked towards Bianca again. "Here's the deal. You know that I could kill you with a simple flick of my wrist, whether you can reform or not, so I have a proposition for you. If you sign this piece of paper here, and never come anywhere near me or my family again I will spare your life."
"And if I don't."
"Then you know as well as I do that I will kill you and forge your signature, but I prefer the first way. That way is much less messy. So Bianca how about it."
She wordlessly holds out her hand for the paper, Wyatt moved forward and conjures a pen. She signed the paper and then handed it back to him. "What was it?" Piper asked Wyatt.
"Her statement, saying that she is no longer capable of raising Chris, and giving up all rights on him."
All of the Halliwells smiled and then looked down at the Phoenix, by now she was leaning heavily against the wall and sinking down to the ground. Her inebriated form was now barely conscious, but no-one seemed to care.
"Come on Wyatt, let's go back to our room and make room for the new addition."
With that the Halliwells left the room with smiles on their faces, waiting for the return of the cute little boy with brown hair.
At the same time as the confrontation with Bianca was taking place, Prue, Mel and Pen and Chris were sitting outside of the hotel at the children's park. As it was near lunchtime there was no-one around so they had the park to themselves. Prue carried Chris all the way to the park but as soon as he saw the slide he wiggled and squirmed until he was put down. The three eldest Halliwells smiled affectionately to him as he ran to the slide and called to them to watch him going down.
He giggled when he reached the bottom and then ran around to go again. He was like a blur around the park running from the slide to the swings, to the roundabout to the monkey bars. Before they knew it nearly an hour had passed and it was time to go back and meet Wyatt again before he panics.
"Chris sweetie." Prue called. Chris came running over to them and smiled up at them. "It is time to go sweetie." Chris smile fell and he pouted.
"Do we hafta?" He asked. The three girls couldn't bear to see him sad so they made a deal.
"I tell you what, I will get you an ice-cream on the way back, what do you think?" Chris smiled again and grabbed a hold of Mel and Pen's hands.
"Choco?" He asked.
"Of course."
And so they left the park and headed back to hear the news of the rest of the family.
