Summary: Chris and Wyatt want to go to a concert, but the night before they sneak out to a party and they get busted so Piper grounds them and tells them she would have never done anything of the sort when she was younger. The boys try to go back in time about 2 hours so they can still go to the concert…but end up going back like 20 years…then on their way home they do some time jumping and see things their mother would never admit too.
Fore She was Mamma
It was a chilly morning but Wyatt was use to it by now. He had been waiting in line for tickets to see Angel's at the Edge of Eden, but the three hours he had been waiting so far would be worth it once they got to the concert. "I almost forgot how cold the mornings can be here." Wyatt said to Cory his friend from college that tagged along for the cross country road trip cause he has family in San Francisco as well. "Yeah well the sun is starting to come up finally." Corey replied.
This would be the first time the two brothers got the chance to do anything together since Wyatt left for college, except for Chris' occasional weekend trips to North Carolina. Almost four months ago Wyatt left to attend UNC on a football scholarship. Now he was home for the first time since he went away for school…and he was going to get to see his whole family and spend time with his little brother and catch up on what is going on in his life.
A small smile came across Wyatt's face as he thought how excited his little brother would be to spend more than just two days with him and to go to this concert together. The smile faded slightly as he thought "I hope Chris doesn't get upset about Corey tagging along.
The smell of breakfast cooking filled the house. Piper had just put some muffins in the oven as Leo entered the kitchen with the milk she had sent him to the store to get. "Hi honey, it smells good." Leo commented to his wife as he handed her the milk. He gave her a kiss on the cheek as he reached around to sneak a piece of bacon.
Piper quickly slapped his hand and said. "Wait for the boys." "Speaking of the boys, where are they?" he asked her. "Chris is still sleeping and I don't think Wyatt and Corey made it in yet," she replied. "I thought they would be back by now," the ex-elder expressed. "Well they are out getting tickets to a concert they want to take Chris too," replied the eldest charmed one. "And you are ok with that?" asked Leo. "I don't know yet, ask me again latter," she replied while adjusting her hair behind her ear. "What do we really know about this Corey kid?" Leo asked. "Well he has family here and we have met him before Leo you are just being over protective." "One time Piper we met him once." Looking at Leo Piper said "Go wake Chris up, breakfast is almost ready." He gave her a small smile "ok honey"; was his only reply.
Piper started to set the table as Leo walks up the stairs to Chris room. Chris heard a soft knock on the door. "Chris time to get up, breakfast is ready." He heard his father's voice through the door. Leo then opened the door just enough to poke his head in. "Chris are you awake?" he asked his youngest son, "Yeah Dad I'm awake." Chris replied as he slowly rolls over onto his back and stares up at the ceiling. "Breakfast is ready." Leo repeated. "Ok, I'll be down in a minute." Replies the youngest charmed son, he slowly rolled out of bed and grabs some jeans, a t-shirt that stated sarcasm is just another free service I offer and his sneakers then threw them on.
"I wonder if Wyatt made it in yet." Chris thought to himself as he orbs to the kitchen. Piper just took the muffins out of the oven while Leo sat at the table reading the newspaper when Chris orbs in. "That better be Paige robbing in cause I know Christopher better have used the stairs," stated Piper as she put the muffins on the counter. Leo looking up from his paper gives a half smile to his son and shakes his head as Chris rolls his eyes and orbs back up stairs just to walk back down them. "Well honey we knew he was going to be a handful," Leo commented. "A handful is an understatement Leo," replied Piper as Chris renters the kitchen. "Good morning mom, dad…boy; it smells good in here," said Chris as he sat down at the table.
"Don't good morning me young man what have I told you about using your powers to get around the house?" Piper said to her second son. Chris let out a sigh "not too…but mom it…" He was cut off by her "don't but mom me." The young witchlighter then took some bacon and a muffin "Banana nut my favorite…so had Wyatt gotten in yet?" he asked his parents. "No not yet but he should be in soon.
"Wow I can't believe we have been standing here all night" Corey stated. Wyatt turning to look at his friend said yeah well at least the line has been moving and we are next and then we can go get some of my mom's cooking….I can't wait for that it has been too long." Corey placed a hand on his friends shoulder saying "I can't wait to see of it is really as good as you claim." With a smirk Wyatt said "you'll see."
"Yes?" came a soft voice from the girl behind the glass at the ticket booth. "Oh I need three tickets for Angel's at the Edge of Eden for tomorrow night's show as close to the stage as possible." The girl looked at him and said "ok well there are still some seats in row three but they are $125 each." "That's great" Wyatt stated and gave her the money. She smiled taking the money then handed him the tickets saying "have a good time" "Thank you we will" he said to her with a smile.
Piper had given up on the older two boys showing for breakfast…as she started to clear the table she heard someone at the door in walked Wyatt and Corey. "Hey mom save some of that for us." He said with a smile. She replied lightly "well it is cold now so it won't be as good as it would have been an hour ago." Corey then spoke up "well if it is anything like he brags about then it will be the best meal we have had in months cold or not." "Hey Mrs. H nice to see you again even though last time was so short" Piper smiled and said "yes well you know how it is." Playfully looking at Wyatt Corey said yes dropping the kiddos off on the first day can be crazy." Wyatt just rolled his eyes "well you know I figured you two were pretty chummy seeing how you mediate the great game of phone tag me and my mom have going on."
Piper just looked at the two friends and said "and he is so good at it…you two eat and then we can find something to do around here I am sure." "Ok mom Wyatt said with a mouth full of food hey where is Chris?" The slightly annoyed mother said "he is at school and you have forgotten your manners." The twice blessed quickly closed his mouth and swallowed before saying "sorry".
Later that day Christopher Halliwell sat in his math class; waiting for the bell to ring…loudly tapping his pencil on his desk. "Hey Halliwell impatient about something?" his friend Todd said from one row over. "No…my brother is in for a week or two so I can't wait to get out of here I can't believe my mom made me come today." Chris just sat there with his eyes on the clock that was moving so slow. "Well I can't help you there you know it would be cool if we could speed up time." Just then Chris jerked his head toward his friend fast. "What did you say that is great why didn't I think of that." Todd looked at his friend confused "what I said to bad we can't speed up time."
Then Chris took a deep breath and muttered.
Time that ticks so slow
Hurry up and let it be time to go.
With that he looked up at the clock again and the forty-five minutes he had was now five. Well that is better he thought to himself. "Now your test is on Monday so you should spend the weekend studding." Said Mrs. Jordan…as the bell rang. Everyone in her class practically jumped out of their sits and grabbed their belongings half running for the door."Well have a great weekend everyone."
"See you later Halliwell…hey we should get together and study even though I am sure you won't have to can't you just give me some brain cells….I mean share the wealth man." Todd said to his friend with a playful punch to the arm. "Sorry but I don't think it would help." Chris said as he gave his friend a half smirk half smile. "That's wrong man….wrong." The other boy said as they walked out into the hall. "Well later man call if you want to study." With that the younger of Piper's two boys walked off down the hall.
"Chris….Chris!!!" He turned around to see his cousin Mel coming down the hall behind him. "Hey my mom said to ask you for a ride today but I didn't see you today until well just now…which is a little weird might I add. "Ok well that is cool but can we go I am in a hurry." He said to her as he turned and headed for the front door again. "When are you not…ok well why this time?" She stated as she tried to keep up with him. Without stopping he blurted out "Wyatt is home and I had to come to school so now I am ready to get home, and spend some time with my brother." "Oh" was all she could say.
It had been about thirty minutes after Chris dropped Mel off when he finally got home. Wyatt was in his room and Corey was in the shower. The dark haired teen came into see his parents watching TV and darted pass them before they could stop him to say hi or how was your day? He went straight to Wyatt's room and almost walked in but stopped to knock. Wyatt heard the knock on the door and smiled…knowing his little brother that knock came as a second thought. "Come in" he said and as he did the door flew open and a happy Chris Halliwell leaped at his older brother. Throwing his arms open he pulled Chris into a big hug and said "I missed you too?"
After a minute Chris let go of Wyatt and said "I am just so excited that's all…so are we still going?" Wyatt let out a sigh and said "I couldn't get the tickets….sorry Chris." "Oh…well that's ok" Chris let out with a disappointed look on his face then continued "we can still go to Dylan's party right?" The blonde witch couldn't take the look on his brother's face. "No I got the tickets sorry I had too." "You jerk" the younger boy yelled as he punched his older brother in the arm playing. The older boy just pushed the other down with one hand easily and said "you better be glad that didn't hurt, and yes we can still go to the party."
"Hey Wyatt…I am done with the shower if you want in now I didn't use all the hot water." Corey said as he walked in Wyatt's room. Wyatt shot a look at Chris and said "oh yeah Corey came with me he has family here he wanted to see so…" "Wy you don't have to explain things to me like I am some kind of crazy ex-girlfriend." The younger Halliwell replied. Shocked at his brother's response the older boy said "I just thought you might get upset that I asked him to go to the concert….that is cool with you right." The dark hair teen tilted his head to the side and saying "I can't believe you feel the need to ask me that, I mean yes I was looking forward to it just being me and you hanging out together but it is cool."
Corey quietly sat at Wyatt's desk not saying a word until he knew that the brothers had everything cleared up. "Well now that that is out of the way…hey Chris it is good to see you again." "You too" Chris replied extending his arm out and letting the other boy shake his hand. "Now tell me about this party lil bro." Wyatt said to Chris while unpacking his bag. Chris gave him that mischievous half smile of his saying "well Dylan is a senior and he is having a party tonight and mom won't let me go so I thought maybe" …"You thought she may let you go if I was going too." Wyatt finished for him "You know me so well" he replied. "Fine I will go but"…"Yes Corey can go too it's cool Wy." Chris cut in. Folding his arms across his chest Wyatt said "ok that is not what I was going to say…if you would let me finish my own sentences, I was going to say if it is ok with mom."
Piper Halliwell was in the kitchen putting the finishing touches on dinner. Setting the table with one extra plate for Corey; they would have the big family dinner tomorrow night…tonight was just for her, Leo, and Chris. Everyone came down to take their place at the table as the smell of Piper's cooking filled the house. "Corey I hope you like garlic and herb roasted chicken steamed veggies, scallop potatoes and chocolate mousse cheesecake." He looked up at her shocked and said "wow that sounds good, I haven't had food that sounded like that in well forever." Wyatt smiled at told his friend "see I told you all she has to do is tell you what she made at your mouth will water."
Dinner was well on its way and Leo decided to ask the boys "so do you guys have any plans for tonight?" Chris cleared his throat and turned his head to his mother "uh…mom I was wondering now that Wy is here can we go Dylan's party?" Piper smiled at him and said nice try young man…the answer is still no." "But…mom" he pleaded she shot him that don't challenge me look of hers and said "don't but mom me." The rest of the dinner was quite in Chris' case anyway. There was talking going on about Wyatt's classes and how his friends at school were doing. After the boys helped clean up from the small feast made for them they found themselves back in Wyatt's room.
"Ok guys so what are we going to do tonight" Corey said looking from one brother to the other. "I say we go to the party anyway." Chris said without looking at Wyatt. "Chris you heard what mom said." The older witchlighter stated. "Yes but Wy she won't find out remember the time we snuck out and went to that party last year, or the times we went to….uh that underground thing and she never knew." Chris had to catch himself before he blurted out underworld while Wyatt's head shot up and gave him a watch what you say look. "Look all I am saying Wyatt is that you are grown and shouldn't have to ask to do things and she should trust you enough to let us go…and some of your old friends from school will be there, and that she doesn't have to know…please Wyatt." "I hate when you look at me that way Chris….fine ok, ok we can go we will just tell mom we are going to the movies." The twice blessed said against his better judgment.
Down stairs Leo and Piper where sitting down to watch their favorite show when the boys came down to get their jackets. "Hey where are you three going?" Came the question they all expected to hear from the protective mother. "Mom chill we are going to the movies….I mean if that is ok with you." She gave a sarcastic smirk "ok Christopher what movie are you going to see?" With a glint of trouble in his eyes he smoothly said "we are going to see Arms of War and cuz I know you will ask it is a remake or a knock off as Aunt Paige loves to call them of Behind Enemy Lines." With a suspicious eye Piper replied "Ok that sounds like a guy movie…well have fun." "We will" Corey said before either brother could say another word and get them busted. After they were out the door Leo said you going to quiz them when they get home because you know I have seen that one." Piper just smiled, and kissed her husband saying "I was counting on it, but knowing Chris he knows this."
Chris pulled up in front of Dylan's house the three of them got out and walked to the door. There was a lot of noise coming from inside. "Chris are you sure this will work?" Wyatt asked then continued "you know mom is going to want us to tell her about the movie." Chris just gave his little half smile and said "I know that is why I went to see it last week." The older boys just stared at him in amazement "you little shit…you knew she would say no." Just then the door opened as some girls were coming out. Corey let out an "all riiiight". "Hey Halliwell I see you made it." There stood a tall slightly built brown haired guy "Hey Dylan you remember Wyatt...this is his friend Corey from college." The brown haired teen replied. "Yes not like we hung out or anything but everyone knew the golden boy, sorry no offence…college guys good for the rep come in come in." Wyatt suddenly realized this was a guy from school he didn't like very much and didn't like his brother knowing.
Tbc…..
