Chris woke up at 1:00 in the morning to his alarm. He snuck upstairs where The Book of Shadows was kept and flipped to the time-forwarding spell. He reread the note he gave to his family.

Dear Mom and Dad,

I just went back home to check what's been going on since I left. DO NOT GO AFTER ME. It's too dangerous for you guys, especially Mom. Please. I'll be fine.

Chris

He took a deep breath and said the spell. Suddenly a bright portal opened from the interlocking circles he drew on the wall. He walked through it and the portal closed behind him.

Present day San Francisco

"He did WHAT!" shrieked Piper, blowing up the antique vase her grandmother owned. She stared in shock at her hands, unaware that her sisters were slowly backing up from the kitchen to put more distance between them and the renegade hand-bombs.

"Boy, Chris really put his foot into it this time," whispered Paige to Phoebe.

"Gee, ya think?" said Phoebe, tripping over a plant pot and spilling all the dirt over the highly polished wooden floor.

Piper whirled around, groaning in dismay at the shattered pot. "Oh My God, what's wrong with me?" she asked. She went to the dirt-filled area and picked up the broken shards. Phoebe and Paige pitched in, gathering all the dirt and throwing it away in the garbage.

"It's not a big deal, Piper. Chris is a big boy. He can take care of himself, okay? You've got to let go sometime," Phoebe said.

"It's just that I'm scared what Wyatt might do to him. We need to go there," deadpanned Piper, going to the attic.

"Piper, he said to leave him alone," reasoned Phoebe.

"But seeing as his mom is Piper, she never will," admitted Paige.

The three of them entered the attic and face the B.O.S (if you see this it stands for Book of Shadows). The page was already opened to the time-travel one.

In this night and in this hour,

I call upon the ancient power,

To go to a further place,

Take us through time and space

San Francisco 2026

Chris wandered through the streets and wound up in an alley. He felt the sizzle of energy behind him before the rebel even spoke.

"It's not safe to wander around in the alleys, especially with the recent activity," said a muscular with black hair and blue eyes. Chris smiled as he recognized the rebel's voice.

"What if it's an old time friend?" asked Chris as he turned around and faced his best friend, Dante.

"SON OF A FREAKIN' BITCH!!!!" Dante exclaimed, embracing his friend.

"What's going on, amigo?" Chris said as they pulled back.

"Man, you came at the right time," said Dante wryly.

"Why? Did the Revolution go down?" Chris inquired worriedly.

"First of all, Sophia misses her dad like crazy and secondly, the Revolution might as well be dead 'cause we lost almost a quarter of the team and either they're dying or pulling back."

"Well, Sophia's dad misses her too but what about Kada? Isn't she her godmother? She practically adores her as if she was her own daughter," he countered.

Dante shook his head. "She's gone crazy. She went all silent and no talking to everyone except me and Sophia and even then it's little. Wanna know why?"

Chris was in shock so badly that he forgot Dante asked. "What? Oh, why? She's not the type of person to react to anything no matter what it was like this."

"Remember Nikolai? Kada's boyfriend?" asked Dante.

He did. Nikolai was a friendly, outgoing, good-looking guy. Everyone always called him Niko, 'cause he wanted everyone to be relaxed when he's around. His line of work was causing some unease with the rest of the Revolution. He was a former demon and Wyatt's second in command when crossfire in the Revolution's headquarters injured him. Kada held him captive and exchanged info on Wyatt for medical healing. In the end, he turned good and formed a relationship with her. "What happened to him?" he asked.

"He blew his cover and Wyatt killed him," Dante stated simply. "Those few weeks after that was a total wreck. She went insane with grief. Her powers and skills took over her. Things flying apart. She broke iron bars. For Christ's sake, she could've killed herself if she wanted to but now she's got a vendetta against Wyatt and she will avenge him."

Chris stared at Dante in shock and disbelief. "I gotta talk to her. I need to see her."

"You will but be careful. She might seem put together but sometimes she will fall apart and just tear everything on sight to pieces," Dante warned.

They arrived at a brick wall at an end of an alley. "Well, I hope you still remember the layout 'cause I sure as hell don't want you to get lost," Dante added jokingly. "OI! Will you people open up?! We got company," he bellowed.

"Real subtle, dude. No demon is gonna notice the psychotic rebel screaming the wall down," Chris muttered.

"My motto: the hell with subtlety," Dante replied with a laughing look.

The walls split to view a door. Dante opened the door that appeared and they went through. The wall disappeared behind them.

"Where the hell are we?" Paige said as the sisters passed by a street filled with signs of demolition and destruction.

"I don't know. Do any of you guys recognize this place?" Piper asked as she turned her head to look for anything familiar.

"No, but I think we're gonna find out," Phoebe yelled as two demons shimmered in front of them.

"Who are you three?" a demon asked.

"We're the Charmed Ones and we need to know where my son, Chris, is," Piper replied, raising her arms for an incoming battle.

"Wait. Chris is your son?" the demon asked.

"Yeah. Why do you asked?" she replied.

"Cause we're his friends from the Revolution. We'll take you to him." The two of them grabbed their hands and disappeared.

Chris went out of the room, looking for his best friend and former girlfriend. He finally gave up when he remembered the Bohemian room, the one place where everybody can relax over a beer and sing, play, or dance to music. It's also the one place where he knew she would be at.

He took a deep breath and opened the door and stopped in shock.

A young woman of about 25 was sitting on a stool playing her guitar and singing one of her and Chris's favorite songs:

From underneath the trees,

We watched the sky.

Confusing stars,

The satellites.

I never dreamed,

That you'd be mine,

But here we are,

We're there tonight.

Singing 'A-men I,

I'm alive'

Singing' A-Amen I,

I'm aliivve'

If everyone cared,

And nobody cried,

If everyone loved,

And nobody lied,

If everyone shared,

And swallowed their pride,

We'd see the day

Where nobody died.

Kada stopped, sensing that someone else was in the room. She changed, morphing into a muscle-bound entity of ice. She drew daggers from a holster and raised them, prepared for any battle.

"I know you're out there. It's no good being invisible forever," she taunted.

Chris laughed and rematerialized in front of her. "You never change, you know that?"

"You son of a bitch," Kada muttered. She lifted her hands and slashed his forearm. Blood oozed from the wound.

"What the hell was that for?" he snapped.

"If you think for one minute that I'll be a-okay with you popping out of the blue in 6 months and not even checking on your own daughter or how much she needed you when Bianca died, you're wrong," she snarled.

"Wait a minute."

Chris whirled around and saw his mom and aunts gaping at him.

"You're a dad?" Piper whispered, stunned.

"Oh shit."

XxxxblackoutxxxX

"I cannot believe this. You're 23 and you're already a dad. This is un-freaking-believable. I need to sit down," Piper said, wobbling unsteadily.

"I told you guys not to come after me," Chris moaned.

"Jesus, man, if it was me, I'd shut the hell up," Kada whispered.

"And who would you be?" asked Paige, giving Kada the once-over look.

Kada walked up toward Paige and snapped, "I'm someone who has half a mind to kick all of your asses. Including Big Mamma there," looking at Piper.

"Hey, Kada, chill. Or better yet, unchill," Chris warned, looking at her still-freeze mode.

"Oh, sorry."

She morphed. The ice-creature changed into a young woman with the words strength and danger written all over her. Her backless halter top revealed a back covered with tattoos. Phoebe noticed words and symbols: Freedom, Love, Peace and she also noticed names, the largest of which was Nikolai written in an elegant script and other names, including Chris's and Bianca's. Her eyes were the most astonishing purple color (purple is ma favorite color).

"By the way, Sophia is not at school, summer vacation and all. So she's" Kada checked her watch, "probably eating lunch now so go to the kitchen. You go off and see your girl."

Chris practically ran out the door and made way to the way and stopped in his tracks.

A little girl of about 5 was getting ice cream from the freezer. She was singing so loudly it made Chris laugh.

Now you're gone,

I realize my love for you was strong

And I miss you here

Now you're gone.

I keep waiting here by the phone

With the pictures hanging on the wall.

"Hey, Madonna, can I have some ice cream?" Chris said.

Sophia turned around. "Daddy!" she yelled. She ran and hugged him.

"Hi, honey. How are you?" he asked, hugging her tightly.

"I'm fine, I just missed you so much," she whispered in his ear.

"I missed you too, Soph." He didn't want to let go just yet. He wanted to enjoy the moment.

"You know, Uncle Wyatt is really lucky to have a brother fighting for his goodness."

"Thanks, sweetheart. It means a lot," Chris said, flattered.

Dante came into the kitchen and asked Sophia, "Hey, querida, do you mind if I talk to your dad for a minute?"

Sophia nodded and gave Chris a peck on the cheek before bouncing off.

Chris stood up straight and asked, "What's up, D?"

"I thought you knew that she was pissed off at you. I didn't think to warn you," Dante said, embarrassed at his forgetfulness.

"Yeah, but I cleared it up with Kada," Chris dismissed.

"Dude, I'm not talking about Kada. I'm talking about Sophia," Dante said.

"What!" Chris exclaimed. "Why would she be angry at me?"

"Well, she was already sad because Bianca was always out on undercover missions and with you already gone Kada was the one tucking her in to bed. You didn't see all this?" Dante asked.

"God, no." Chris ran his fingers through his hair. "She never gave off any anger signs."

"Well not anger per say but sadness or depression," Dante corrected.

Kada walked in and told them, "I gave Piper a calming drought just to cool her down, although I could've done it for her."

"Anyways, how long are you staying here?" Dante asked.

"Not for long. I just needed to check on you guys," Chris said.

"Great. Then let's go tell your daughter that you're gonna disappear on her again," Kada said angrily.

"Hold up. You think I love doing this to her?" Chris protested.

"No, but you can help reduce the pain," she suggested.

"The only reason I'm doing this is to make everything better and for people to be alive again you retard," he snapped.

Dante stepped in, noticing the dangerously glittering blue flame igniting in Kada's eyes, and said, "Okay, will you two chill? Let's talk about this when we get some sleep."
