A.N.: Okay, this is my first Charmed fic. So please try to be nice to me. I usually make all if my chapters at least semi-long, but I'm afraid that this story won't be that long. Anyway, enjoy and leave me a review.

Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters that will be mentioned here.

Summary: "On the bright side, he's only one. He's not going to remember it." One birthday party leads into another, which leads into his family missing everything. Now that he's sixteen, Chris is feeling the pain…and letting it out the only way he can.

Forgotten Birthdays

Teaser

It was coming up to Chris' first birthday. The Halliwells were planning a party for him. All of the Halliwell's friends were supposed to come and celebrate the one-year anniversary of his birth. Circumstances arose that forced Piper to cancel Chris' first birthday party. Demons got involved and they seemed more important to the family than it. Chris would never have to know. He would never think of asking if he had a first birthday party. He would never remember anything that happened during that time.

Piper said, "On the bright side, he's only one. He's not going to remember it." That's the excuse his mother gave. He's not going to remember it.

Chris might not be able to remember not having a first birthday party. But all the rest of them will. They should feel guilty. They knew what Chris' life was like. They wanted to change all of that.

Leo knew that it was a mistake to not have the party. He wanted to be a better father than the one Chris had grown up hating. He wanted to be there for his son. He knew that the Chris who had died in his arms had hated the father he was in the future. Everyone knew it. That was all supposed to change. He gave up being an Elder for his family, for Chris. He was mortal and supposed to be there for him while his mother couldn't be. This party was the first step in correcting the future. It had to be better than before. For all their sakes.

Now the party was canceled. Piper mentioned that they would have two birthdays the next year for him. But what's the point in lying? Both of his parents knew that that would never happen.

Wyatt was the twice-blessed son, not Chris. They would never have missed any of his birthdays. They never had. Chris was expendable. He wasn't going to grow up to be more powerful then Wyatt and he had already fallen in love with a Phoenix. Wyatt was the ruler of all evil. Chris had come to the past to change all of that, and he did. But did he make it worse for himself?

A.N.: I told you it would be short. My next chapter should be longer. At least, I hope it will be. But review for me, please?
