Ok, this is my first charmed fan fiction, so please be nice. I'm British
so am kinda behind in charmed, only just saw "Little Monsters", but I'm a
bit of a spoiler junkie, so know what's going on. This is set after "The
courtship of Wyatts father", except, that even though Piper knows she
pregnant she doesn't know it's Chris.
Disclaimer, I don't own charmed or any of it's characters, unfortunately,
And the story:
Paige and Phoebe had just orbed out after the darklighter.
"You can't just let them go after him by themselves." Chris shot at Piper.
"They'll be fine, just relax, we've killed countless darklighters before" Piper said as she put Wyatt in his playpen.
"Relax? Paige is half-whitelighter, he could kill her!" He said as he started to pace in front of Piper.
"Look they've gone already, there's nothing you can do now so deal with it!" She was getting annoyed with him, wishing he would just drop it.
"God, mom, you always do this!" Chris kept pacing not realising what he'd said, but Piper caught it and froze on the spot.
"What did you just call me?" Chris turned to look at her, confused, retracing what he'd said it dawned on him and his eyes widened in shock. He hadn't meant to say it, it was just a slip of the tongue.
"Nothing, I didn't say anything!"
"You called me...mom."
"No I didn't!"
"Yes you did!"
Piper started to feel light-headed, this couldn't be happening, it just couldn't. Chris noticed Piper was about to fall, and he guided her to the side of the bed. Piper looked him dead in the eye, suddenly she noticed something she'd never seen before, it was Leo's eyes looking back at her. It all made sense now, what he'd been so afraid to tell her, why he'd been so secretive and why he was so determined to save Wyatt, his big brother.
"Please say something." Chris said weakly, his secret was out and in a way he was so relieved, he hated lying so his mother, he felt like a weight had been lifted but all to soon replaced by another, what if she didn't want him?
"You're...you're my baby?" She said as her hand went to her stomach, only a slight bump showing the baby growing inside her. Chris nodded, his eyes darting around the room, not knowing where to look.
"I...I..." Piper began not knowing what to say, where to begin.
Chris smiled, a forced smile, "It's ok, I understand." Then he orbed out leaving Piper so lost and confused. She just sat there and let the tears run down her cheeks.
"Oh god." She felt sick, all the times she hadn't trusted him, had been mean...to her son...Chris was her son! She had to fix this.
"Chris?" She called meekly; he didn't come, so she tried again.
"Chris...I really need to talk to you, Chris please!" But he still didn't come. After an hour you think she would have given up, but no she wouldn't Chris was her son. He obviously wasn't going to come to her, so she decided to go to him. Piper called Sheila, Darryl's wife and asked if she could take care of Wyatt for a few hours. As soon as Wyatt was safe with Sheila, Piper went up to the attic and wrote a spell, not one of her best, she was always better with potions, spells were Phoebe's department, but she hoped it would work anyway.
"I call the witches of the Halliwell line, To help mend this heart of mine, Earth, water, air and Fire, Take my soul to whom I desire."
With that she disappeared in a swirl of bright white light and re-appeared on top of the Golden Gate Bridge. Piper's heart skipped a beat at the sight of him sitting there staring at the setting sun.
"Chris?" He turned to Piper, clearly supprised she had found him.
"What are you doing here? He asked
"I came to see my son." His eyes lit up as she said it.
"Can we go somewhere..." She looked down at the cars passing below. "Not so high up and talk?"
"Yeah" He said, he took Piper's hand and orbed them to the manor. He was quick to let go of her hand, but she grabbed his arm and pulled him in close. Chris felt awkward at first but then embraced his mother.
"I'm so sorry." Piper said as new tears slid down her face. "I'm so sorry for everything."
"It's ok." Chris said. Choking back tears himself, he couldn't even remember the last time he held his mom like this, and have her hug him back.
It was such a special moment, until Paige and Phoebe orbed in, shortly followed by the darklighter.
"Watchout!" Phoebe shouted, but it was so late, the darklighter shot his arrow at Paige, she orbed out in time, but the arrow was now headed straight towards Piper. Chris panicked and pushed Piper aside, taking the arrow in the shoulder. He screamed in pain and collapsed in a heap on the floor
"Nooo!" Piper screamed, scrambling towards Chris. The darklighter aimed to shoot again, but Paige was ready this time.
"Crossbow." She called as it orbed to her hands, Phoebe kicked the darklighter in the stomach, sending him tumbling backwards. Paige shot, the arrow hit him square in the chest and he disappeared in a burst of flames.
Chris was lying on the floor, in a lot of pain. Piper's hand reached towards the arrow, but he slapped it away.
"No don't." He croaked, she looked at him confused.
"Why?" Chris was in too much pain to go into it so just simply said.
"You have Whitelighter blood too." Piper looked at him, then her stomach, she'd almost forgotten she was pregnant. Paige and Phoebe rushed to his side.
"Are you ok?" Although it was a silly question, Paige still asked.
"Just peachy." Chris managed. Phoebe knelt down beside him.
"Let me." After surveying the wound, "it's deep." Chris could hear concern in her voice.
"I have to get the arrow out." Chris nodded in agreement.
"Paige, Piper back up a bit." But Piper shook her head and took Chris' hand.
"Ok, Chris this is gonna hurt like hell." Chris stared at his mother and gritted his teeth. "Do it."
Phoebe broke off the end of the arrow, then pushed it through Chris' shoulder and out the other side. Chris screamed out in pain, pain that was becoming so overwhelming, his vision was getting darker and darker and then everything went black.
"Chris? Chris wake up." Phoebe called, lightly shaking him.
"Leo!" Piper screamed, tears streaking her face, he orbed in immediately as he could sense her pain.
"What happened?" Leo asked as he saw Chris unconscious and bleeding on the floor.
"Just heal, quickly!" Paige said, Leo knelt down next to Piper, he placed his hands over Chris' wound. A familiar golden glow appeared, flickered and then disappeared.
"What's wrong? Why isn't it working?" Paige asked.
"He's dead!" Leo said sadly. Paige and Phoebe where so shocked they couldn't say anything, they had just lost their nephew.
"No, he can't be dead!" Piper shouted. "Chris wake up, Chris come on, you can't be dead. I can't lose you now...not after..." Tears flowing freely, she rocked back and forwards, hugging Chris' limp body.
"I'm sorry Piper.." Leo began but Piper cut him off.
"Try again!"
"It's no use, I can't heal the dead."
"Yes you can, you have too, I can't lose him, I can't lose my son."
All three stared at her in shock, Paige and Phoebe already knew about Chris but hadn't any idea that Piper knew, and Leo didn't have a clue what was going on.
"What did you just say?" Leo asked in disbelief.
"Leo, Chris is our son. I'm pregnant." Leo's eyes darted from Piper to Chris, and like with Piper everything slid into place.
"Oh my god!" Escaped Leo's mouth
........
So what will happen, is Chris really dead? Stay tuned and find out.
