Chris and Wyatt were playing in the sunroom of the manor, Chris just wanted to start to complain because Wyatt didn't play fair as several demons shimmered in. The two brothers instantly got into fighting mode, their mother and aunts were just in the underworld vanquishing a swarm king. The boys started to vanquish the demons using their telekinesis. Suddenly a darklighter orbed in and aimed his crossbow at Chris, Wyatt who noticed this wanted to jump in front of his brother and raise his shield but was stopped by another demon who smacked him against a wall. "CHRIS!" he exclaimed before drifting into unconsciousness. Chris whirled around and faced the darklighter who shot the arrow and hit Chris straight in the stomach. Chris cried out in pain and went down on his knees.

Just as the demon, who knockedWyatt out, wanted to end Chris' life Melinda came running into the room, because of her brothers screaming. As she saw the darklighter and demon she promptly blew both of them up and then yelled at top of her lungs "DADDY!". Immediately blue and white orbs appeared and formed into Leo who bent down next Melinda. "Hey little princess what's wrong?" It was then that he saw his first born unconscious on the floor and rushed to his side and healed him. Melinda who spotted Chris lying on the ground ran to his side.

"Hey champ, you're alright?" Leo asked Wyatt after he regained consciousness. He totally ignored his second son who was lying next to his little sister with a darklighter arrow stuck in is stomach. Wyatt nodded and his Dad disappeared in a swirl of blue and white orbs not bothering to care about Chris.

"Wy, Chris needs help!" Mel whined while sitting next to her older brother. Wyatt instantly was by his siblings side and pulled the arrow out with his telekinesis, Chris didn't make a sound which wasn't a good sign. He held his hands above the wound and a golden glow appeared under them and the wound began to close. As Wyatt's hands stopped glowing Chris' eyes fluttered open and he look at his siblings. „Chris, thank god your okay." Wyatt exclaimed and pulled his little brother in a hug. „Wy, can't breath." Chris choked and Wyatt immediately let go of his younger brother.

„Thanks for saving my life, you two." Chris smiled at his big brother and baby sister. Chris wasn't aware of the fact that his father was here and ignored him, but Wyatt was and he hated the fact that his father cared about him and his little sister but gave a damn about Chris. Mel clung to her brother for dear life and refused to let go. "Mel, you can let me go, I'm alright. By the way I saw how you blew up those bad guys. Really awesome, you have your powers really good under control for your age." Chris stated and held his little sister in his arms while stroking her hair. "I love you Chris." Mel told her brother as she pulled away she smiled at him. "Hey and what about me?" Wyatt complained playfully and Mel turned around and also gave him a big hug. "I love you too, Wy."

Chris was still lying on the floor surrounded by his siblings as two sets of orbs appeared in front of them. They transformed into Ryan and Riley. "Hey guys." They said together but as they saw the three siblings on the ground and Chris as white as a sheet they looked concerned. "What happened here?" Ryan asked. Mel and Wyatt helped Chris to stand up and Wyatt explained. "Demons attacked us, suddenly a darklighter orbed in, I wanted to protect Chris but got knocked out and Chris was shot with a darklighter arrow. But I could heal him, thanks to Mel who blew up the last demon standing and the darklighter." Wyatt smiled at his little sister with proud.

"So you guys are ok?" Riley asked. "Yeah." the three siblings answered together. "What do you want?" Chris asked. "We were just looking for our Mom." Ryan and Riley said together and the three siblings on the floor started to laugh. First Ryan and Riley looked irritated but then began to laugh too. When Piper, Phoebe and Paige orbed back into the house they found five kids sitting on the couch and laughing, but then they saw broken glas spread on the floor. "What happened here?" Piper asked concerned while walking up to her kids followed by her sisters.

„Just a demon attack Mom." Wyatt answered. „Don't worry Mel vanquished two of them and Chris and I did the rest." „And we just got here." Riley added grinning. „And Daddy was here." Mel said with a big smile, Wyatt looked concerned at his brother who wore a blank expression.

„So he did it again, he abadoned me again. I was shot with a darklighter arrow and he just ignored me. He was just concerned about Mel and Wy." Chris thought to himself and without another word he orbed out. „Chris!" Wyatt shouted but his brother was already gone. Now Piper, Phoebe and Paige were really confused, so Wyatt told them what happened during the attack and the charmed ones and the twins looked shocked about Leo's behaviour.

Chris sat on top of the Golden Gate Bridge and watched as the cars raced beneath him with tears flooding down his cheeks. Then a swirl of blue orbs appeared and transformed into Wyatt. „Why didn't you tell me Dad was here?" Chris asked his brother still watching the cars. Wyatt sat down next to his baby brother and laid an arm around his shoulder.

„I didn't want him to hurt you further more, I know I should have told you but I couldn't. You were really close to death and still weakened from the poison. I just couldn't hurt you more." Wyatt explained with tears in his eyes and as Chris began to sob he pulled his little brother in a tight hug and rocked him back and forth.

Soon Chris had fallen asleep on Wyatt's chest and Wyatt orbed them both to Chris' room. He carefully laid his brother in his bed and covered him with a blanket and then walked out of the room and closed the door silently.

He made his way downstairs where his mother was waiting for him. Paige had first orbed Phoebe home and then orbed with her twins to her home after Wyatt told them what happened and then orbed out to his brother. „He is sleeping." Wyatt informed his mother while taking a seat next to her.

„I will have a little chat with your Dad tomorrow. He can't continue like this, favouring you and Melinda. And thank you for taking such a great care of your siblings, especially Chris. I know I should do this but he opens up to you more than to me." Piper said while caressing Wyatt's hair. „It's ok Mom, I love him as much as you do. And we are brothers we have a special bond, you know that." Wyatt replied with a smile.

„Ok, but now it's time for bed. So brush your teeths and go to bed." Piper ordered and Wyatt stood up. „I love you Mom." „I love you too honey." After Wyatt went upstairs Piper decided to go to bed too, she will talk to Leo tomorrow.
