Author's Note : This story deals with a serious Mental\Emotional disorder.
It can have tragic consquences if not is the cause, love is the cure.
Based on how Chris acted, I believe a unchanged future, could have caused him to go from sad, to scared, and eventually cause Chris to be a living terror.
Its rated R for a reason, please use extreme caution, when reading this story.

Chris is walking with Phoebe, through the park. It's 5:30 pm, but Chris doesnt care. He likes being with his aunt.
Even though Phoebe loves Chris, it makes her angry Piper doesnt act like his mother. She doesnt understand why.

Phoebe : Chris honey, I think its time to go home. Your mom probably has dinner fixed.

His face is mixed with sadness and a little anger, when he looks at her.

Chris : Why ? Its not like her or dad, care.

She takes him by the hand and sits him on a bench. Bending down to meet his eyes.

Phoebe :Chris, they love you. Your their son. Yes, they do care.

Chris :They say they love me, but it doesnt show.

Phoebe: Sweetie, I think its time we talk to your parents.

Chris : Okay, whatever...

She takes him by the hand, and they walk home. They go inside, to find Piper, Leo, little Wyatt, and Coop eating.

Phoebe : Chris go eat. Piper, Leo, come in here we need to talk.

Chris starts eating and they go in the living room with Phoebe.

Piper : What's the matter, Pheebs ?

Phoebe : When was the last time, you hugged Chris or kissed him ?

Piper and Leo : Uh...

Phoebe: That's what I thought ! Damnit ! Your son has come to believe you don't love him.

Leo gulps, and Piper tears up.

Piper : Oh God, we didnt realize.

Leo : Oh no. We never meant to hurt him.

Phoebe : You may not have meant to, but you have. Chris is only 10 yrs old ! A child that young needs their parents attention !

Piper : Its hard though, when we have another son who believes evil is the only way.

Leo : and I have whitelighter...

Phoebe : There is no excuse, for not showing your child love !

Leo : Do you think we can fix this ?

Phoebe : I honestly dont know. Having a Phd, I know you have cause serious damage.

Piper : Maybe we shouldnt be his parents or caregivers.

Leo : Piper, he's our son !

Phoebe : Leo... I think Piper is right. Chris didnt wanna come home .

Leo : Phoebe I'm a whitelighter. The elders will be beyond angry with us.

Phoebe : I really, do not give a damn ! Your elders will have very serious issues, if I dont handle this.

He takes Piper's hand.

Leo : Come on. We have to go up there and face them about this.

Piper : Okay.

They immediatly orb out. Phoebe walks in the dining room.

Phoebe : Chris honey, Come with me. We have to start packing your things.

Chris : Why ? Is everything okay ?

Phoebe : No sweetie its not. Lets go to your room.

He follows her to his room. Once there Phoebe grabs 2 suitcases.

Chris : Are we packing all my things ?

Phoebe : Not to night. Just your clothes.

Chris : Okay.

They start grabbing t-shirts, pants, underwear,socks, and and pajamas. Closing his suitcases Phoebe, carries them to her car.
Getting in, they drive off. Once at her and Coop's apartment. She carries his things inside. Chris sits on the couch, just looking.

Coop : Hey buddy, you can watch TV, if you want.

Chris : Cool.

Phoebe : Only Disney Channel though.

Chris : Okay

Coop : Why do you say, only Disney Channel ?

Phoebe : Because it's family shows.

Coop : Oh, okay.

Phoebe and Coop sit down to watch TV, as well. Eventually Chris falls asleep.

Coop : I'll carry him to the guest bedroom.

He carries him and tucks him in. He closes the door.

Phoebe : Lets go to bed to.

Coop : Yeah, sounds good.

They lay in bed and Phoebe turns to Coop.

Phoebe : Honey, I think it would be best, if me and him get our own apartment.
