Hey guys, this is sorta a rushed project for me. I wrote it all in a day. Sorry if it sucks lol Takes place directly after 'Spin City,' which for those of you that don't know is the episode when Piper and Leo find out that Chris is their son and Chris turns into that spider... thing. I'll be keeping my authors notes to a minimum until the last chapter so well until then enjoy the story!

Not An Innocent

Piper sat in the corner of P3, mulling over the events of the last few days. She had been turned into a human cocoon, Chris had nearly transformed into some sort of spider, and Leo had almost been beaten to death by Chris in a fit of rage. That was the 'normal' things. She was used to the 'normal' things. What she wasn't used to was the knowledge that Chris, her overly pushy, slightly aggravating and by all accounts neurotic whitelighter from the future was in fact her son.

Rubbing her tired eyes she stood up slowly, being weary of her now bulging stomach, and walked over to the door to lock up. She had come to the club to see if Chris was here, but all she found was an empty room, and by empty, she meant empty. Besides for a few scribbled notes about future leads on who could have turned Wyatt, some worn out pairs of cloths, and a tooth brush, there was nothing left in the room.

A thought occurred to Piper just then. She had been under the assumption that he had moved out of the back room and that was the reason there was hardly anything in it, but perhaps, he hadn't moved out and that was all he had been living on. A deep quilt crept over Piper. She had been living in the manor all that time and her own son was living in an empty club, with just a few scrapes of cloths to his name for over a year!

Her quilt would have gone further, had not Paige walked into the club just then. "Paige, what are you doing here?" Piper asked with a bit of surprise.

"Looking for you," Paige answered matter-of-factly.

"Well you found me, how did you know I was here anyway?"

"Please Piper, I think I know you well enough to know what's going on in your head. You came here to see if you'd find Chris."

"How did you—"

Paige interrupted by rolling her eyes, "Piper, you've come here everyday this week. Did you really think your own sisters wouldn't notice?"

Piper sighed, "Alright, fine, so I'm a little obsessive, but he's my son. I mean, I have to talk to him, I need to know why he couldn't tell me or at least mention the fact that I'm now pregnant with him."

"Give him time Piper," Paige said with a comforting smile, "He's probably just as freaked out as you are by all this."

"Yeah I know and that's why I need to find him. We need to talk this out, get everything straight. I mean God, there's so much I want to say to him. I've been so horrible to him ever since he came here, I just need to talk to him, and set everything straight."

Paige sighed slowly, "Well, he'll come to you eventually. He has to, he's our white lighter. I mean, he can't avoid us forever."

"Yeah I know your right," Piper said giving in reluctantly as she locked the clubs doors.

Suddenly their conversation was interrupted by the sound of a trash can hitting the ground. A scream followed soon after. With out hesitating, Piper and Paige ran behind the club into the back alley toward where the noise had been heard.

As they came around the corner they saw a demon standing over a girl in her early twenties, fireball in hand. Paige quickly orbed the fireball away from the demon, while Piper tried to explode him. The demon quickly reformed.

"Not good," Piper yelled backing away from the demon.

"Witch this doesn't concern you!" The demon yelled.

"If you're trying to kill an innocent it does!" Piper fired back.

"She is no innocent." The demon spat, throwing a fireball at Paige, who using her powers sent the fireball back at the demon, hitting him in the shoulder. Piper took this moment of distraction, to quickly help the girl up and carry her out of harms way. As she ran the girl slipped and snagged her pant leg on a piece of glace that had fallen out of one of the up turned trashcans.

Clutching his shoulder, the demon screamed in rage. Pointing towards the girl he snarled, "You may be safe for now, but not for long!" He then shimmers out.

"Well that was interesting," Paige said sarcastically.

"Thank you, thank you so much," the girl cried.

"Are you alright?" Piper asked pointing to the girls pant leg.

"Oh yeah, it just snagged my pants. I'm not hurt don't worry," Seeing that there was no blood, Piper nodded and let it go.

"Why was he after you anyway?" Paige asked.

"I—I saw him kill someone. And now he's after me. I don't know what he wants. I don't even know who he is. How---how did you do all those things? How did you send his fireball back at him?"

Piper and Paige traded a skeptical look, "Magic," Piper finally said, "But that's a whole 'nother story. Right now we need to get you some place safe."

The girl nodded in bewilderment, looking in awe at both Piper and Paige. Her plan was working perfectly.
