(A/N): So I should be updating my other stories like Bloody Hope, Destiny Rewritten and so...yet instead I'm writing on this every chance I get. But I for some reason went and checked out my story Should've Lied and then read the reviews. A few people wanted more chapters or a sequel. Since I feel like I can't go any farther with the storyline on that story since the whole point was for Piper to grieve. So instead this one will be about Chris and how he deals with the lies his family has told. So hopefully you guys like this! I'm pretty proud of it myself. Please R&R guys and tell me if I should make it a multichapter! Sorry it's so short!

Never Should've Lied

Sequel to Should've Lied

Mistakes

Piper Halliwell had a great life. She was a wife, a mother, an older sister, a powerful witch, and best of all a famous chef who finally owned her own restaurant. She had a wonderful husband who had never lied to her, who told her everything. Even if it may have hurt. Three beautiful children. The oldest a spitting image of his father and the youngest, the only girl, a blonde with her eyes. And lastly, two gorgeous sisters, who now had a wonderful family of their own.

Yes life was perfect for one Piper Halliwell. That was because there were no secrets in this family.

Except one.

That's how she found herself in this position though. Because of one mistake...one lie she was unable to do anything but stare. Stare into those oh-so familiar eyes.

She remembered how they had always looked like emeralds...just as they did now. They were piercing, knowing. Once you looked into those eyes, you felt as if he could see your very soul. It was like he knew everything he needed to know about you.

His voice was sharp, like it had been all those years ago. It was sarcastic, condescending, and arrogant. The words fell from his lips, as if they had always meant to.

A familiar feeling rose up in her, the feeling she always associated to him. She ground her teeth, her eyes burning with on-coming anger.

Where was her little boy who never argued with her, who believed every word she said? Where was her baby who looked nothing like this grown, angry young man?

Harsh words flashed through her mind, flying from her lips before they even registered in her mind. "God Chris, why do you have to be so neurotic! We aren't keeping things from you! You're just making stuff up!"

As the words fell from her lips oh-so easily, she could see her husband's face turn cold, as if he were remembering the events she was denying. Her oldest son, her angel, watched her, his eyes understanding. Her baby girl stood right between the two men, watching how her mother and older brother were reacting to each other.

Her middle sister looked away, clutching jacket of her husband with one fist while the other hand pulled her three girls closer. Her baby sister stared at her, her cheeks holding a slightly green tint, and a disgusted look covering her face. Piper could tell her sister was deeply ashamed of her.

Finally her whole attention turned to her middle child, the baby who she had screamed and raved over to protect once he was born. His eyes were wide, filled with hurt.

They pain and hurt filled eyes suddenly became glazed over, as if he was no longer inside his own body. Or like he had crawled inside his own mind, and decided to take up permanent residence there.

XO-XO-XO-XO

"Who-who are you?"

"Friend or foe?"

"You-you orb? You're a Whitelighter?"

"You know what? Cut it out with the cryptic crap. You need to go up there and bring him back now. No more games."

"Hold it, pal. I don't know what kind of game you're running here, but Leo is not in the god-making business."

"Wow, Chris that was actually pretty good. You almost sounded like a Whitelighter. Too bad I already have one. And if he would like me to do something, he can come down and tell me himself."

"What's the matter, Chris? The all-knowing running out of answers?"

"There is no bigger picture than my family."

"Not my fault."

"Is that what this is about? You blame us for what happened to you?"

"Chris! Where ever you are, get your ass over here!"

"How did you know they weren't us?"

"Chris, I'm a mother, I can't go around vanquishing babies, no matter how evil they are."

"Don't you think I know that? I'm scared to death of what he can possibly do to Wyatt but I can't even separate them."

"Why doesn't he tell us about a lot of things?"

"Look, Chris, I don't want to go into it. But I'm not gonna be out on a date with the fireman or anybody else for that matter, anytime soon, so that I can focus more on Wyatt."

"Well, you weren't here earlier, were you? Look, the only thing that matters right now is what's best for Wyatt."

"But that would be selfish of me, wouldn't it? Put my needs before his destiny. I'm not being a martyr, Chris, I'm not. I just get it now. I'm the mother of a very special child that if I do my job right, he's gonna grow up to do very special things. What could possibly be more important than that?"

"You're lying."

"No, Chris, we don't, actually."

"Chris, we don't need your help. I will get my son back, and when I do, I don't wanna see you anymore."

The words that flew around his mind were so real...so loud...so true.

Chris flinched, his body shaking from head to toe. His eyes were hazy but more aware than before. They moved to everyone in the room, full of panic and fear. His breathing was rapid and hard, his head pounding. Moving a hand to his chest, he clenched it into a tight fist, tears forming in her jewel like eyes.

He couldn't breathe. It hurt. So bad. It felt like everything was caving in on him, the space around him was slowly but surely running out of air.

Piper moved to get closer to him; he looked like he was having a panic attack. She reached a hand out to touch her youngest boy, only for him to jerk away with a pained sob.

As you can see...Piper Halliwell had one rule that was enforced in all three of the sister's families.

You never lie to family.

So yes...she didn't allow secrets. She didn't allow lies in this family. Which is why years ago, just after little Chris had come home to the Manor for the first time, Leo and her two sisters had revealed a terrible secret. It was the only secret they all agreed to keep. The only lie they all agreed to keep.

Christopher Perry Halliwell had come to the past to save his family, save his world...and sacrificed his life.

Looking at him, for what seemed like the first time, she could see it now. Her baby hadn't changed. His hair, styled the way it had been when she first met him years ago, was still the same golden brown color it had been as a child. His skin was still as smooth and lightly colored as the day she brought him home from the hospital. Lips were just as soft and pink as the day he smiled at her for the first time. His nose, which reminded her so much of Prue because of the freckle on the side, hadn't changed a bit from the moment he first twitched his nose. But most of all...his emerald eyes, so bright and beautiful they put the jewel to shame, had not changed once. They were still so full if knowing and intelligence as the day she gave birth to him.

It was the one lie they allowed. The one secret they swore to keep.

And this time...lying was the mistake.

Because now...now she was watching her youngest son, the one she swore to always protect. The one that risked everything. The one she ended up letting slip through the cracks. The one she pushed to the back, letting her oldest son and only daughter take the spotlight.

And because of this...she was watching her baby boy walk away. Walk out of her life.

She never should've lied.
