Disclaimer, I DO Not own charmed... this is just a result of boredom.
Chris was a careful person, on everything he did. Studying, Talking, Researching, Dating, Vanquishing... everything he did was carefully planned.
He had been this way since he was a child, always taking care of the people around himself, never doing things carelessly because he knew that
at the end of the day, being careless meant hurting people.
When he was a baby, he barely cried, Piper had always worried about this aspect of her tiny baby. His soul-full green eyes always looked at her, and
she felt like he understood everything about her. And still loved her for every mistake she made.
His first birthday she had planned a huge party with all of the family, she made a huge cake, and planned everything so it would be perfect of her little
peanut... that day there was a demon attack, that although the charmed ones and Billie were able to fight off, it left the house in ruins... needless to say
the party was canceled. not one single picture was taken... Piper spent the rest of the night crying while holding her little baby.
On his second birthday, Phoebe was kidnapped by a recently resurrected Cole. The whole day was spend looking at the book of shadows, and researching on ways
on how to save her, and vanquish Cole... Piper spent the rest of the night looking at her baby sleep, promises of the next birthday being better were cemented on
her mind...
On his third birthday, Paige went into a complicated birth of her twins, the fact that she colapsed while heavily bleeding at work made all of the family unite at
the hospital, once again, all the party decorations and thoughts of it were left abandoned... Paige was moved to the ICU and they were unable to see her until the
next morning. Both twins were born after midnight... and once again Chris' birthday was left forgotten
On his fourth and fifth birthday they were attacked by demons, both of which were looking to kidnap the twice blessed... by this time Christopher was already old
enough to understand that in this family his birthday wasn't celebrated like his brother's or his cousins'.
On his sixth birthday there was a huge attack to the manor, Billie was killed while trying to save Wyatt from a energy ball...
On his Seventh Birthday, Piper promised herself that no matter what, she would throw a party for her baby, she made all the preparations, and then she found
out that her sister' would not attend, they would instead hold a memorial service for Billie... Piper never forgave them completely for this...
When he turned fourteen, Piper was almost killed by an attack that happened while Chris and Piper were alone at home.. thankfully Leo was able to orb in as soon
as Chris called... Chris spend the rest of the night hugging his mother while he cried himself to sleep..
On his twenty-firsth birthday, Piper sent Chris out, while Wyatt, Leo and herself prepared everything for his party...
at exactly 7:43PM his car was hit by a Drunk driver who ran a light, the force of the impact made his head slam into the window, the drunk driver walked away from
the accident with just a broken leg. Chris was left brain dead...
Piper recived the call at exactly 8:43PM, telling her he son had been on a car accident, he was transported to the hospital and that she should make her way over.
Piper couldnt believe it. Her son was afterall a very careful person, this must have been a mistake...
but it wasn't, and here she was taking in her son's appearence. there was bruising all over his face, scratches from the glass that had been broken. he was warm,
but it was only because of the machines that kept his body alive. And his eyes, the ones he would never open again...
And all Piper could remember was all the missing birthdays.. all the stuff they had missed because of demons, and that at the end of it all it was just so ironic that
he would die in his birthday, and for something as stupid as a drunk driver..
He was taken from her, and all she could think of was all the mistakes she had made, and all of the What Ifs...
Chris was a very careful person, he never told his mom that he remembered everything from his alternative life. The one where he had come to save Wyatt.
Chris never told his mother how he traded his life, the one he was given as a reward for saving the world. Just so that she could grow old.
Chris never told his mother that he knew he would die, and that his birthdays meant that he was just that much closer to death.
Chris never told his mother many things, because he didn't want to hurt her.. she was his everything, and as he saw the light coming closer, he knew, that
he would never trade the life that he had lived, and that the decisions that he had made had been the right ones.
