Chapter I: Convincing Phoebe

Chris was furious!

It was bad enough he still didn't know who turned his big brother evil, the sister still don't trust him and he might have screwed up any chance of him being born. Now there is something else to add to the growing list of drama the young witch-lighter has to worry about-his parents.

Piper and Leo had went to a friend's wedding in an attempt to save their relationship. Being the first to admit that his parent's relationship works out sort of in the future, Chris knew that in order to be born his parents need to get along if only for a night. He would be happy if they can even manage a night of civility if only to conceive him.

However what he was not happy about is his parents being possessed by some Hindu gods that if they screwed would create a child that would bring about the destruction of the world. To add to the cherry on top of a very stressful cake is this week is the week of his conception!

Resisting the urge to bang his head against a wall, Chris set out to find his Aunt Phoebe and Aunt Paige. Chris hoped his Aunts could keep an eye on his parent's while he looked for a way to undo this nonsense. Hopefully it won't take more than a day to fix this. Chris would really like to be born and if he had to choose to be born over preventing the destruction of the world he knew what he would choose. So in order to exist he needed to nip this problem in the bud.

After making sure the many handed Piper was busy with Wyatt, not having to worry about Leo as he was hunting the underworld for the idiot who attacked Piper and Wyatt, Chris orbed to Phoebe.

After orbing into the men's room of Phoebe's work Ask Phoebe, Chris made sure nobody saw him orb before he headed out of the bathroom towards his Aunt's office. As Chris neared his Phoebe's door he could hear his Aunt typing away on the keyboard and speaking with her editor on the phone. Chris smiled slightly some things never change, Chris thought wryly to himself. When Chris was younger any time Chris came to visit his Aunt she was always typing up an article and speaking with someone on the phone. More often than not she was almost always talking to her editor. Knocking gently on the door he let himself in and made himself comfy in the chair across from Phoebe's desk.

Glancing up from her work to see who her visitor is she was pleasantly surprised to see Chris. Chris never really visits her at work, acknowledging her work is to be separate from her Charmed duties unless her sisters are in trouble. Now worried Phoebe quickly saved her work and turned to face the witch-lighter as she finished her call.

"I'm sorry Elise I have to go something's come up. Yes I will have the article for you on Monday. Okay. Bye." Hanging up the phone Phoebe let out a breath she didn't know she was holding Phoebe studied her white lighter.

Not for the first time did Phoebe see the resemblance to her late sister Prue in Chris. He looks just like a male version of her especially those green eyes of his. Not only did he look like her but he had many of her traits as well such as his stubbornness, his need to protect people and his power of telekinesis. Not for the first time did Phoebe suspect Chris to be a Halliwell, to be exact Prue's son. Even though Prue is dead it is not impossible for Prue to be made a white lighter and have a kid in the future. It would explain so much about Chris and give her hope of seeing her sister again without dying.

Shaking herself out of her thought's Phoebe took a sip of her coffee before she asked the million dollar question.

"What happened?"

Quirking an eyebrow at his Aunt's question Chris had to concede he really did usually bother Phoebe at work only when there is a problem. Deciding to not waste any time Chris told Phoebe a short summary of what was going on.

"Piper and Leo are possess by some Hindu Gods and if they have sex will create a child that will bring about the destruction of the world." Chris deadpanned.

Phoebe blinked owlishly at the white lighter hoping he was joking but when she saw that he wasn't laughing she sighed. I miss the good ole days where something like this would surprise me. Phoebe lamented silently to herself.

"Let me guess you need my help in finding out how to undo this-" Phoebe tried to think of a word to describe the insanity of this new problem before giving up she waved her hands in the air she settled on "mess," she finished.

Chris winced, he didn't think of asking for help in finding out on how to undo this, he just needed her to watch them. Now that he thought about it it's probably a good idea if she did help him with her empathy. Deciding to ignore the good idea since he worked better alone anyway Chris told her his plan.

"Actually I need you and Paige to keep Piper and Leo busy and not with each other."

After Phoebe realized what Chris meant she didn't know whether to be pissed off, horrified or both.

"You want me to babysit my sister?!" Phoebe asked incredulously.

Wincing at both the volume of her voice and the wording Chris hesitantly nodded.

"No!" Phoebe shook her head in emphasis and went back to her computer to find something to distract her from her obviously insane white lighter.

"Please Phoebe?"

"No!"

"C'mon Phoebe someone needs to make sure the virtual Anti-Christ isn't born."

"Then you do it!"

"I CAN'T!" Chris snapped, frustration oozing out of him. Why can't his she just listen to me? Is that too much to ask?

"Chris," Phoebe groaned leaning back into her chair she massaged her temple where she could feel a migraine coming on. She was so done with this conversation.

"Chris I have work to do, I have missed enough work already it is really a miracle that I wasn't fired already."

Feeling bad for snapping at his Aunt earlier he could sympathize with her to a point. However this was something of a priority over work.

"Phoebe I get it I do. But I need your help. I can't keep doing everything on my own anymore. Hunting Demons, searching for whoever turns Wyatt evil, protecting you and your sisters. I can't add more to that right now." Chris admitted hating that he had to ask for help but knowing when to put aside his pride.

Phoebe was shocked, she didn't think of it like that. Phoebe was used to thinking of Chris as that neurotic white light from the future who has them hunt down demons and keeps secrets. But now that she thinks about it Chris has been working himself to the ground since he has been here. If he is not hunting Demons or following leads on Wyatt than he is helping her and her sisters. Phoebe can't remember ever seeing Chris take a break. Studying him closer Phoebe can see the circles under his haunted green eyes and how loose his clothing is. With shock Phoebe realized she has never seen Chris eat anything and sleeping at a club can't have given him a good night's rest no matter how comfy the couch is.

Feeling guilty for how she and her sisters treat him as well as her new observations Phoebe admitted to herself reluctantly that it is the least she can do for him.

"Okay I'll help." Phoebe grudgingly agreed.

Chris allowed a small smile to his Aunt before he stood to leave.

"Thanks Phoebe, I'll go ask Paige before I find out some answers." Chris was about to leave before Phoebe call to him.

"Chris wait!"

Chris turned to Phoebe tilting his head curiously reminding Phoebe so much of Prue it nearly took her breath away.

"Yes?" Chris asked after a minute.

Remembering what she wanted to tell him she shook her head at the resemblance to Prue and the insanity of the situation.

"I'll call Paige. You just get something to eat and go get some answers. Don't worry we got this." Sending a wink to the confused and touched white-lighter she picked up the phone to contact her wayward sister.

"Thanks," Chris stuttered in surprise as he looked curiously at Phoebe who ignored him and was busy calling her sister before he left the office to the men's room to orb back to the club.

Once Chris was gone Phoebe blew out a breath and thought about the insanity of trying to keep a hormonal godly couple apart, especially since one of those gods is her big sister.

"Madness," Phoebe breathed out to sum up the situation.

"Hello?" Paige's voice sounded on the other end of the Phone.

"Paige I need your help."
