Chapter One: The Change

"Piper look out!" Chris shouted as a demon shimmered in beside her. To his surprise it threw a sort of energy ball at him before being blown up by his mother.

The ball hit him squarely in the chest and pain burst through every fiber of his being. Distantly he heard somebody screaming surprised to realize he was the one screaming. He also distantly felt the warm glow of Leo trying to heal him but it didn't help and eventually he felt the man give up when the screaming didn't stop. Then before they could think of anything else Chris began to shrink before their very eyes. He shrieked in pain as his bones shrunk and his muscles began to deteriorate.

Finally the pain stopped and Chris stood before them drowning in the t-shirt he had been wearing, looking up at them through his lashes probably around 3 or 4 years old.

"Uh oh," he said eyes wide and fearful as he looked upon his family, not that Leo and Piper were aware they were family, only Paige and Phoebe knew.

"Well crap," Paige said looking at the little boy standing before them. "How are we going to fix this? We didn't even make this mess and trying to turn him back will probably fall under personal gain…"

"Paige shut up you'll scare the poor thing!" Phoebe snapped before turning to her nephew and speaking in a much softer and friendlier tone. "Chris honey do you know where you are and what time you're in?"

"Yesh Peebe," Chris mumbled his voice soft and lispy as he spoke.

"Alright then, that's good, I want you and Paige to go look at the book and try and figure out what happened and if there's a way to reverse it in there. Leo I want you to go and talk to the elders, see if they know anything that might be helpful in this situation. Piper, you and I are going shopping for some proper clothes for cutie over there." Phoebe said taking charge so fast nobody had a chance to argue with her demands.

"But…" Chris mumbled reaching towards Piper and Phoebe as Paige lifted him to rest on her hip.

"Aww don't worry Chris they'll be back soon," Paige promised trying to sooth her upset nephew as Piper walked out without a backwards glance let alone a goodbye to the little guy.

"Yeah it'sh jusht hawd." Chris sighed leaning his head on Paige's shoulder in disappointment.

"Oh, you feel like you're a kid but you know you're not and it makes you want your mommy even though she doesn't know she's your mommy?" Paige asked calmly.

"Yesh…" Chris said staring at her in surprise that she had gotten all of that from the little he had said.

"Alrighty then, I wonder how that will work when it comes to all of your secrets." Paige said smirking as she headed towards the attic tickling the little boys stomach as she walked.

"Chris!" Phoebe yelled as she and Piper walked through the door laden down with bags.

"Hi Peebe! Hi Pipew!" Chris giggled grinning widely as he materialized in a shower of blue and white orbs.

"No orbing in the house!" Piper snapped storming away with a scowl on her face.

"Sowwy," Chris mumbled his lower lip wobbling as a few tears slipped down his cheeks as he stared after his mother.

"Aww its okay baby, come on let's get you changed into something that isn't a dress on you." Phoebe said scooping up the boy and a bag of clothes and heading to her bedroom so he could have a little bit of privacy from the rest of the family if he needed to talk about how Piper was treating him.
