~PROLOGUE TO PRESENT~

After finding out that Chris was her second son, Piper was in a state of shock.  It took her about a week to accept it.  During that week she busied herself cooking extremely gigantic meals, which she often ended up donating to homeless shelters and churches.  She constantly called for Leo, who never came, but quickly forgot about calling him when Chris, conveniently, orbed in (after all, he was their whitelighter now).

            Two demons attacked in that week.  Eight days after "the news," a third demon attacked while the girls at the doctor's office.  Phoebe and Paige had finally convinced Piper to verify her pregnancy.  They returned home just in time to vanquish the demon and save Chris.  The demon had surprised him and blasted him before Chris had a chance to defend himself.  Phoebe laid an unconscious Chris on the couch while Paige went for the first aid kit and Piper went for the Book of Shadows, still reeling from the fact that she WAS pregnant. 

            When Chris awoke, he sat straight up and yelled, "MOM!!!!!"

            Piper's mother instincts kicked in just then.  "I'm here," she said, surprising herself, "I'm right here."

            They all stared at her.  She stared back at them.  Chris looked at her like he hadn't seen her for eons.  He was breathing heavy, and suddenly squeezed her into a hug.  Piper stared at her sisters in bewilderment, then embraced her unborn son, comforting him.

            Later that day, Gideon told them that Leo had chosen to remain "Up There" with the other Elders.  This news sent Piper into an almost comatose state.  The traumatic news was too much.  She locked herself in her room for three days, eating barely a meal, and in doing so, weakened Chris.

            During the next month countless demons attacked.  They all seemed to have a common goal, unknown to the Charmed Ones, but none prevailed.  When the attacks grew less frequent, and Piper emerged from her sanctuary, the Halliwell manor was buzzing with chaos.  Piper had inquired about getting Wyatt into the magic preschool.  Chris was always gone; he was looking for information about the constant demon attacks and whether or not the future had changed.  Phoebe was going with Piper to the school and tracked down the vision quest girl.  She was in constant use of her premonition power.  Paige was helping her sisters deal and helping Richard cope with being powerless.

            About two and a half months into Piper's pregnancy, Phoebe had the vision.  She saw Gideon commanding a demon to kill Wyatt, no matter the consequence, except of course the Charmed Ones.  She immediately told her sisters, and they orbed up to tell Leo.  After a failed attempt to talk Gideon out of his ridiculous goal, the Charmed Ones were forced to bind his powers, thus ending the demon attacks.  After learning that Gideon had tricked him and tried to kill him, Leo returned to Earth and lived the way he had before Gideon's coerciveness.  He lived as an Elder and as a family man.

            As Piper's belly grew bigger, the baby inside her growing, Chris's powers weakened more and more.  One significant instance was when Baby Chris kicked and Future Chris touched Piper's belly to feel it.  A large portion of his powers was transferred to the unborn infant then in a blue shockwave of orbs, a very shocking experience for the unsuspecting Halliwells.  While unborn Chris was not as powerful as unborn Wyatt, Piper, with Phoebe's help, began to channel the little whitelighter/witch's powers and use them.  All was pretty well with the world which brings us to today, Chris's birthday.
