Chapter One: Before it all starts.

----

He was always so amazed about how she could make him feel. He lay next to her and by just watching her sleep it felt so right. This, here, was where he belonged, with her. To do something so normal like waking up with her by his side and be so content with it was something he never wanted to miss ever again. Thankfully they had both taken steps to make sure that would never happen.

He smiled when he saw the signs that she was waking up. She probably felt him watching her again like all the other times they fell asleep together and he woke up before her. "I can't describe it. I know someone is watching me but I feel safe and protected instead of weary and on guard," she once told him.

Her eyes opened and she immediately looked gaze with him; dark brown meeting green. A joyful smile followed and his heart soared. He leaned down to kiss her which she responded to happily. They lay like this for some time, lips looked and only their position changed so she was on top. This was another habit, a ritual of sorts, of theirs. They would stay like this, watching and sometimes kissing.

He already knew what his family would say if they saw them. His brother would accuse them of being ridiculously in love. His sister would sigh and say something about being a hopeless case. His cousins would smile mischievously and then tease him for the rest of the day. His two aunts would probably jump onboard with their children. His mother would say something embarrassing about using protection and being safe while his dad would smile proudly. Thank god they weren't at the Manor but in her apartment.

"What are you thinking about, Chris?" she wondered while brushing away some stray hair out of his eyes. His heart jumped and he agreed with his brother; he was ridiculously in love.

"Just my family."

She smiled thinking about his crazy family. "How do you think they will take it?" she asked.

He laughed thinking about the reaction they would get with the news. "They will be happy and we will probably get a squeal or two from Aunt Phoebe. We'll tell them tonight right, Bianca?" She nodded and lay down next to him with her arm around his torso and her head on his arm. Neither of them was in a particular hurry to get out of the bed.

Sometime Chris couldn't believe how lucky he was. After he met Bianca a space within his heart that had been empty suddenly filled up. His family loved and adored her even after finding out about her own family. Sometimes he thought he must have done something really good in a previous life to have deserved this. Or as Bianca said, "with what you and your family fight and goes up against every now and then, somewhere someone owes you."

He could still remember when he first met her, and the feeling of Déjà vu that followed. They just seemed to click.

They were celebrating his birthday by going to P3. Now twenty-one years old and officially legal to drink his mother had planed a special night for him at her club. P3 was the most popular and "trendy" club in San Francisco, always number one on the in-lists and Piper never had problems getting bands to play and this night she had invited his favorite Nightingale.

The night past by and Chris was having a blast when it happened. She happened.

He just turned to say something to Wyatt when he spotted her coming down the stairs. At that moment when their eyes met thinking and breathing became two very difficult things to do all the sudden. He could swear he recognized her from somewhere but he couldn't remember where.

Without really knowing it he started walking across the dance floor, dodging people while keeping an eye on her. That wasn't too difficult as she was also walking towards him.

They both stopped, inches from each other, on the middle of the dace floor. 'I know you' he wanted to say but it came out as a "Hi." She responded with the same and told him her name. 'Bianca. That's right' he thought 'now how do I know you?'.

After he introduced himself they didn't part to find their friends or family. He didn't go back to where Wyatt, his aunts and mother were waiting and she didn't go to her friends whom she had arrived with and were now waiting by the stairs. They stayed and didn't part for the rest of the night.

That had been almost two years ago. A lot had happened during those years; she finding out he was a Halliwell, he finding out she was a Phoenix and their family finding out they were dating were just a few things.

His mother's reaction had been a little weird when she first saw Bianca. She had made some excuse but Chris wondered.

"Chris…"

"Come on, Bianca. They'll love you."

They were standing just outside the Manor's front door. This would be the first time she would meet the Halliwells and she was nervous about it.

"Why do I feel like a mouse going to the home of cats?" she asked. Chris laughed at her, not to be mean, just finding it funny that she was so anxious. He opened the door and took her hand and together they walked inside.

"Mom? You there?" he called out closing the door after them.

"You don't have to yell, Chris," Piper said coming from the kitchen. Chris just smiled innocently and began making introductions.

"Mom, this is my girlfriend, Bianca Perry. Bianca this is mom, Piper Halliwell."

Piper looked at Bianca and suddenly gasped, paled and clutched her hands together. A sign Chris knew that Piper was surprised and nervous about something.

"Mom, you ok?" he asked, hoping this would turn on him and blow up in his face. Maybe taking Bianca here had been too early after all.

Piper seemed to gather herself. "Yes, I'm sorry. I haven't hade enough to eat today," she smiled faintly. "Bianca, it's nice to meet you. We have all wondered who it is that managed to get Chris to go out and socialize at last."

"Ha, ha, very funny," Chris grumbled leading his girlfriend forward.

Piper and Bianca had gotten along fabulously and Chris had forgotten all about it. But now when he thought about it, it always seemed like his parents and aunts knew Bianca from before. They hadn't even looked surprised when Bianca's background as a Phoenix assassin was revealed. 'Maybe I should ask them about that' he thought. He never had before because it never had been an issue, but now it might become one.

"We should go up," came Bianca's sleepy voice interrupting his thoughts. "Half the day is probably gone."

Chris took a look over her head to the clock on the night stand and smiled. "It just a little past eight."

"See, I told you." Chris rolled his eyes playfully but sat up anyway, "you're probably right. We should get up." They had only a few hours before they were going to meet they others at the Manor where they would tell them their news. Suddenly the thought made Chris nervous. He quickly bereted himself, it wasn't as if it would be unexpected so he had nothing to worry about.

That was what he thought.
