I Dream of You

"Hold on, I promise I won't let you fall." Chris assured her.

Alyssa looked up at him, her eyes filled with pure love and trust "I know you wont." she smiled up at him tenderly.

Chris placed his hand tenderly on her cheek and pressed his lips delicately onto hers. White orbs surrounded the couple, and they began floating up off the ground. Alyssa wrapped her arms around her loves neck, and he did the same around her waist. When they broke apart, they were hovering high above San Francisco. Alyssa gasped at the high altitude, and clung to Chris tighter. He laughed lightly and pulled her closer into a comforting embrace. "I love you." he whispered into her ear.

She gasped and looked into his eyes, it had been the first time she had ever heard those three words escape past his lips since Wyatt turned evil. Not to her, or even anyone. She was honored to be the first to gain his love since the betrayal. "I love you Chris." she replied and snuggled into his chest.

A smile broke onto his lips, he hadn't been sure if Ally would return his feelings. But now he felt like he was floating, but maybe that was because he actually was.

Chris woke to the bright sun filtering through the curtains of his apartment. He sat up and stretched, but was startled when a voice spoke out from the corner of the room.

"Whose Alyssa?" Leo asked.

Chris jumped, not expecting someone to be in the apartment "Dad!" he sighed when he recovered from the scare. "Wait, what do you mean 'whose Alyssa?'" he asked.

Leo smirked "You talk in your sleep." he laughed.

Chris groaned "It's no one, Dad." he said as he pulled on a clean shirt.

Leo raised an eyebrow, not buying his sons lie for a minute "No one? She's definitely someone by the way you were saying her name. Almost like you were calling for her."

Chris rolled his eyes, but Leo wouldn't give up "What is she, your girlfriend?" Leo asked as if he were teasing a young child.

Chris felt a pang of anger hit him at the way his father was acting "Actually, she's my fiancée if you must know."

Leo's eyes widened in surprise "You're engaged?" he asked.

Chris stopped moving around his room as he eyed the silver engagement ring on his dresser "Yea." he breathed "To the most wonderful, most beautiful, most caring person to ever live."

Leo's look of shock slowly faded as a small smile appeared on his face "I'm proud of you son." he said.

Chris turned "Really?" he asked, he had never heard his father say that to him before.

Chris was on baby duty once again. And he hated every minute of it. His mother and aunts had left him alone once again with his brother and the baby. That kid sure had a set of lungs on him. And powers to match. He kept telekinetically throwing things across the room whenever he got upset.

Chris was seated on the couch in the living room, Wyatt was in his play pen, and the baby was on the floor hovering random objects above him like it was entertaining somehow. Chris had been left alone half the day now babysitting, and he was exhausted. So exhausted that he didn't even comprehend the baby starting to cry. That was until the remote control came flying through the air and hit him on the head. He jumped as the child began crying hysterically. Chris could tell the baby was tired by the way it was acting, but he couldn't bring himself to get up from his comfortable position on the couch.

"You're tired?" he snapped "Yea, well so am I! You want to get comfortable, you do it yourself!" he knew he shouldn't be yelling at a two month old baby, but he was exhausted and irritable. And quite frankly, he didn't care.

But then something happened that he didn't expect. White orbs surrounded the baby and he disappeared. Chris bolted up off the couch "That little devil's part whitelighter." he muttered.

He was about to run upstairs to see if the baby had orbed up to the nursery, but just then the phone rang. "Hello?" he answered.

"Chris, why did Alex just orb into my office?" the angry voice of Phoebe yelled at the other end.

"Don't look at me," Chris defended "I didn't know he was part whitelighter!"

"Part whitelighter?" she asked "Are you sure Wyatt didn't just orb him here?"

Chris glanced at his brother, who was asleep in his playpen "Wyatt's asleep." he answered.

"Oh my god," Phoebe sighed "okay, well just orb over here and get him."

"What? Can't you just watch him?" Chris begged.

"No Chris, I can't come into work with no baby and leave with a baby! Now come get him!" Phoebe snapped. Chris sighed and hung up the phone. Moments later he materialized in his aunts office at the Bay Mirror.

"So how exactly do you plan on finding his family?" Paige asked her oldest sister.

Paige had finally finished the exams at magic school, and finally had time to help out with Alex. "Well," Piper began "he's a witch, which means that his family are witches. All we have to do is cast a to call a lost witch spell."

Phoebe smiled "You know, that could work."

And so that's what they did, Piper got the candles ready while Paige got the ingredients for the potion to go along with the spell. When it was time to have to take some blood from Alex, Phoebe volunteered for the job.

She took the atheme and prepared to prick the baby's finger, while already apologizing for having to do it. But when Phoebe got close, Alex used his powers to throw the knife into the wall. Piper was the one to try next, and Paige when her sisters attempted failed as well.

"Oh come on, it's not that bad!" Piper tried, but Alex just orbed away from her. But when he reappeared, he was in Chris's arms. The small child laughed and stretched up his arms towards Chris. He smiled lightly at the child in his arms, but handed him over to Phoebe.

"Well then," Phoebe began "looks like someone likes you Chris."

Chris just rolled his eyes "It's just because he's seen the most of me in the time he's been here."

Phoebe gave him a challenging look before saying "Well it looks like if anyone's getting the blood from this kid, it's going to be you Chris."

Paige handed him the atheme, which he reluctantly took from his aunt. And the baby didn't move once while Chris got it done. When it was done, the sisters circled around the small table in in front of the candles they had set up.

"Blood to blood, I summon thee. Blood to blood, return to me." They chanted as they finished the spell. White lights swirled in the center of the candles as they slowly formed into a person. But to the Halliwells' surprise, it wasn't Alex's family. But the sisters grandmother.

"What are you doing summoning me? I have an afterlife to live, you know!" she snapped.

"Grams?" Piper asked.

"That's weird." Paige said.

Phoebe looked confused "Why didn't the baby's mother appear?"

Grams rolled her eyes "Because she's not dead!" she glanced down at baby Alex "Neither of his parents are."

"But then why did you show up?" Piper asked.

Grams shrugged "I don't know, maybe to explain the situation?" she lied.

Phoebe rolled her eyes "You never were good at lying Grams." she commented.

Grams sighed "Hey, that's all the information I can give you. Live with it." and with that, she disappeared in the swirl of white lights.
