Author's Note: Hello All!! Lady Krystalyn here! Ever since I saw Chris-Crossed, I just had this idea in my head that Chris is Piper and Leo's son. And I hate the fact that his girl died….uber-depressing. So I decided to write this. Hope you like it! Let me know what you think….This is my first Charmed Fan Fic to be nice to me please. J This is mainly a Chris/OC and Piper/Leo fic with a side of Phoebe/Jason and Paige/Richard. There will be additional pairings later among people that don't exist yet. Can't give it away though. J
Disclaimer: I own nothing….well I do own a few things *riffles through purse and pulls out a piece of gum and two pennies* but none of the Charmed Characters except my own creations being: Priscilla, Philip, Phaedra, Edward Parker, Petra and Pandora. Please don't steal them. They like it here with me.
Enjoy!
Chapter One
Phoebe waltzed into the kitchen to find a very perky Paige sitting on the kitchen table sipping at a steaming mug. She glared at her half-sister and made a beeline for the coffee pot, "Looks like someone got some last night."
Paige smiled cheekily and fired back, "Looks like someone didn't." Phoebe rolled her eyes, "I hate having Jason so far away."
"Well, ya know it was your choice. You could have moved to Hong Kong with him."
"I couldn't leave all of you here. No matter how much I love him."
Paige was about to reply when they were distracted by a familiar swarm of orbs.
Chris landed and looked about, "Where's Piper?"
"Good morning to you too, Chris." Paige muttered trying to look hurt but she only managed to smile. Nothing would bring her down today. She had accepted Richard's invitation to move in, but had asked for a week to get everything worked out so for now she was still living at the manor. Mostly.
"Piper had a date last night. I guess she never came home," Phoebe grumbled and added a bit quieter, "Lucky."
Chris paled and swallowed, "Are you sure she didn't come home?"
Phoebe almost choked on her coffee when she realized she was actually receiving emotions from Chris. The only other time that had happened was when he was badly hurt and his defenses had been down. Extreme worry and panic filled her and she paled as well, "Chris, what is it? Is she ok?"
Chris shook himself enough to answer her, "She's fine. I just…..really needed to talk to her." He whispered something else that Phoebe barely caught, "But I won't be if she did anything last night." He orbed out before Phoebe could interrogate him more. What could he have meant by that?

Chris landed upstairs and slipped down the hall to Piper's bedroom. His hand was shaking as he turned the door knob. His thundering heart stopped the moment the door opened to reveal Piper asleep in her bed. His heart rate returned to normal and he turned to go. The creak of the door upon his opening must have wakened her though, for as he was leaving she turned over and yawned.
"Chris? What are you doing in here?" She stretched and looked at him warily.
"I hear you had a date last night." He turned around and looked her in the eye.
"Yes, I did. What business is it of yours?"
Chris cleared his throat, "I'm your whitelighter now, I have to know where you are. Plus, how many times have I told you not to get sidetracked."
Piper arched her brows, "And how many times have we told you that we have to live our lives. We aren't just witches, we're people too. People who need some normalcy."
"Did you sleep with Greg last night?" Chris spit out. Challenge sparked in his eyes, but if Piper had thought to look closer she would have seen that it was just hiding his worry.
Her face clouded over and she climbed out of bed and stormed over to stand in front of him, "That is none of your business! Where do you get off asking me that? You have no right to come into my room and dig into my personal life!"
Chris swallowed hard, "Just answer the question please."
Something in his voice made Piper back off, "I don't know why I am answering you since you really don't deserve to know but…No. I didn't sleep with him last night."
Chris sighed, relief radiating from him, "Why not?"
Piper scowled, "That I am not answering."
"Your still in love with him aren't you?"
"Excuse me?"
"Leo. Your still in love with him."
"Now that is definitely none of your business," Piper's tone had turned quiet and she turned her back to him, "Get out of my room. Now."
Chris orbed out, leaving Piper still standing there. A lone tear coursing its way down her cheek.

Phoebe was sitting in her office trying to focus on her next article but her mind kept wondering to the way Chris had been acting that morning. Granted he always acted a little on the weird side but lately it had been different. It was three weeks since Chris' unexpected trip back to the future and he still wasn't acting normal. Understandably his fiancé had died but there was something else going on. Something about Piper. A desperation. All of a sudden her eyes grew heavy and despite her best efforts she drifted off into a deep slumber.
Three children were sitting together under a large oak playing. Two boys and one girl. The little girl giggling as she snatched a large red ball out of the younger boy's hands. A second later, blue orbs surrounded the ball and the boy smiled in triumph but the girl jerked her head side to side and the orbs seemed to shatter. The boy looked up at Phoebe in indignation, "Auntie Phoebe, help me. Prissy won't give me the ball back." Phoebe stared at the little boy. It couldn't be Wyatt could it? No, this little boy had brown hair and green eyes. The older boy looked more like Wyatt…Phoebe turned her attention to the little girl, "Honey, give him the ball back." The little girl pouted and hid the ball behind her back, "But mom......"
Phoebe jerked awake, her breaths coming in short gasps. Her heart told her that was no dream, but her premonitions always came while she was awake. Why had she fallen asleep? And what of the little boy who had called her Auntie. It most obviously wasn't Wyatt. He had been sitting next to the boy. And the girl, "My baby….."
"What was that Phoebe?" Phoebe's eyes darted to the door of her office where Elise was standing, watching her in curiosity.
"Nothing…just talking to myself. I can't seem to get this article out."
Elise nodded in understanding, "Why don't you head home, you've been here for at least eight hours. Go and get some rest." She turned and walked out the door.
Phoebe stared at her clock in confusion. Five-thirty? The last time she had looked at it, it had read one-ten. Had she really been asleep that long? She shook her head and gathered her keys. This day just kept getting weirder and weirder.

Paige was sitting at home reading her favorite romance novel when Phoebe came through the front door. Phoebe glanced at her before looking around the room and peeking into the kitchen, "Where's Piper?"
Paige frowned, "Jeez, that's all I'm hearing today. What's with you people?"
Phoebe ignored her, "I had a premonition at the office."
"Really? What happened?" Paige set the book down and stood up.
"I saw children….my child."
Paige's looked her up and down, "Your child? Is there something you haven't been telling us? I mean, I thought you weren't getting any."
Phoebe rolled her eyes and headed up the stairs. "It wasn't an actual premonition. I mean it was…I was just asleep when it happened."
"Are you sure it wasn't just a dream? I mean maybe it's your hormones telling you that you should have moved to Hong Kong 'cause you're ready to start a family?"
Phoebe shook her head in determination, "No, this was not a normal dream. I can feel it."
"That's also something I seem to be hearing a lot of."

When they reached the attic they found Piper sitting on the floor playing with Wyatt. He was gurgling happily to have his mother all to himself for once.
"Hey you two." She greeted.
"Phoebe had a premonition." Paige offered as her hello.
"What are we fending off this time?" Piper asked as she set Wyatt in his playpen, to his consternation.
"Well, nothing unless large red balls have suddenly become a new breed of demon."
Piper frowned, "What are you talking about?"
But before either of them could answer, they were once again interrupted by the swirl of orbs. Chris appeared but this time he was down on one knee, bent over in agony.
"Chris!" All three sisters rushed over to him.
Piper yelled at the ceiling, "Leo! Get down here now!"
A second swirl of orbs and Leo strode over quickly as soon as he took in the situation. "Chris, what's wrong?" There were no physical wounds visible. In fact the only thing Leo could think of to explain it was that one of Chris' charges must be in trouble but all three sisters were right there safe and sound.
Chris moaned and gasped for air as if he couldn't breath.
Piper began to panic, "Leo! Do something!"
"I can't!"
Just as he spoke, a shudder seemed to go through the room. Chris stopped moaning and shakily stood up with the sisters' help.
"What the hell was that?" Paige muttered.
"I think I can answer that question." A girl with light brown hair and grey eyes that looked to be in her late teens stood in the middle of the room clutching her stomach in the exact same manner as Chris had done moments before. She swayed on her feet and winced.
Chris' eyes had gone wide and he took a tentative step toward her, "Risa?"
She turned to face him and fell. He lunged forward and caught her before she hit the ground. He called out for Leo to help and the others gathered around her in concern.
All except Phoebe. She was still standing rooted to the same spot as she stared at the girl. Shock and wonder flooded through her, all her own. But that wasn't all that was her own. That girl was her daughter….
