"Feeling a little bit less neurotic today?" Paige teased Chris. She handed Phoebe the coffee.

"Is this going to be the day we find the demon that turns Wyatt?'" Phoebe asked sarcastically as she poured her coffee.

Chris frowned. He didn't know why these remarks were funny to his Aunts. He knew that hadn't experienced the future he was from, but he wished they would give him a break. Chris rolled his eyes, "No. But I have no idea who most of the people living in this house are. My cover will be blown."

"We've got you covered, sweetheart," Piper said gingerly, "Ladies, wallets."

Chris give Piper a confused expression.

"When you have kids, you'll understand" Piper said rummaging through her wallet, then added a moment "Found it!" Piper said victoriously.

"Well there's Wyatt, you and Emma. Emma is 17" Piper said and gave him a photo of all three of them.

Emma looked so different to Chris. She still looked like a tomboy, but at the same time there was a quality of peace within her. She looked less skeptical and more like a normal teenager. Wyatt looked pretty different too. Wyatt was clean shaven and his smile held no malice. In fact it made Chris envious, because there was no doubt in his mind that his aunts preferred Wyatt.

"This is Rachel and that is Jacob." she pointed to the girl with dark red hair and boy with black hair. "and this is my husband Coop and I on our wedding day." She said pulling another photo out.

"Beware of the twins. They're tricksters." Paige said with a grin, "There quite a duo. They like to pull pranks. They are popular at magic school because of their humor. They also tend to show off."

"There's my other son, Michael" Phoebe interrupted "He's fifteen and an empath."

"You'll like Michael. He's just a neurotic as you are." Paige commented.

Phoebe gave page a dirty look, "He's a sweetheart though" Paige added.

Chris snorted.

"And my youngest one is Katie. She's three and half." Phoebe said "She has premonitions of the future."

"Well what's the difference?" Chris asked Phoebe.

"Katie has vision of the future, while Penelope has visions of the past." Piper explained to her son.

"My turn" Paige said, trying to lift the mood, "Penelope is fourteen years old. She has the power of premonition when dealing with the past. She also writes a column for magic school, 'Penny for your thoughts'."

"What a convenient pun," Chris said rolling his eyes, "I've met her already. She helped me after seeing a vision of what occurred in the past."

"Sounds like her to butt in" Paige said nodding. "I have a son, Carter, he's 10. He can orb, but he has yet to tune into any other powers. It upsets him; he's got a bit of a temper."

"How would you feel if you didn't have as many powers as your siblings?" Piper said in a defensive manner, "Carter is very kind."

"Nicole is six. She began her first year of magical studies this year." Paige said, "She's cute too" She handed him a picture of her three children. Penny had strawberry blonde hair and light eyes, Carter stood next to her. Carter's hair was a dark brown shade and his eyes were a soft shade of blue. Nikki also had dark brown hair.

"So in this order, it's: Rachel. Jacob. Emily. Michael. Penelope. Carter. Nicole. Katie." Chris asked them.

"You can't forget sweet Matthew." Piper said with pride. She handed Chris a photo of Wyatt, his wife and their toddler son."

The day went on without event, but the day that followed…

Tuesday October 5th, 2027

"8:00 AM!" Jacob yelled as he appeared. Jacob and Rachel smirked as they appeared in Chris and Bianca's room.

"You guys don't live here. You shouldn't do that." Chris muttered in a tired tone.

"We do this every weekday, Chris." Jacob explained dryly.

"Since when?" Chris whined.

"Since you were ten." Rachel said wryly.

"And you didn't find it appropriate to stop after I moved out?" Chris asked impatiently.

"You moved next door," Rachel said with a snort, "If you want to escape the system, you need to move farther away."

"I'm tempted." Bianca said grumpily.

Chris laughed, and then gave the twins a dirty look. They disappeared.

______________

"It is it time to start the day already?" Piper asked herself, "I'm getting old."

Within a few minutes, Jacob and Rachel were ready to attend school. "Ready?" Rachel asked Jacob with a smirk.

"Always am." Jacob agreed. The two disappeared.

"Carter, hurry up" Nicole called to him.

"Coming!" Carter yelled from the other room, he grabbed Nicole's hand, "Let's go."

The two orbed out of sight, Penny held on Michael and orbed them both into magic school.

"I am not ready for this," Emma muttered, "Good morning Matthew." She said sleepily. She gave her nephew a kiss on the cheek.

"What about me?" Wyatt suggested with a smirk.

"Not in a million years." Emma said haughtily, then orbed out.

Matthew giggled in bemusement, "Emma, Emma, Emma!" he said and orbed out.

"Matthew?" Wyatt asked with concern.


"Are you going to add them to your E-Drop?" Leslie asked. Leslie was a fellow witch at magic school.

"Of course, Pyro is a fantastic band." Emma said simply, "Hopefully, my mother will give the money to add it my E-Drop."

Leslie shot a dirty look at a younger student.

"What happened now?" Emma asked Leslie curiously.

"He decided to get my clothing all dirty yesterday. After I told mother that he had used magic for personal gain, he decided to use his elemental power to rip through the foundation of the house. Mud got all over me."

"My brother can be just as bad," Emma agreed, "He's twenty-five and still hasn't moved out of the house. Chris moved out when he got married. If it wasn't for the fact that I love Matthew, I'd kick Wyatt out myself."

"Looks like someone missed you." Leslie said in amusement.

"Emma, Emma, Emma" Matthew giggled as her orbed into her arms.

Emma looked at Matthew, "Sweetie, you need to go home."

He gave her a sad expression and she gave him an encouraging smile, "Fine, I'll take you, but you're going to make me late."

Emma orbed back into the kitchen, where she last left Matthew.

"Wyatt?" Emma called. No response came. "Wyatt!" she repeated louder.

"I'm busy looking for Matthew. Not now, Emma." Wyatt's voice boomed from the ceiling.

"Fine, keep looking. If you ignore me, you'll never find him." Emma yelled back impatiently.

Wyatt orbed in with a nasty look on his face, "I have priorities, Emma."

"Apparently, not your charges. Which makes you a lousy whitelighter." Emma said with a pause, and then handed Matthew back to Wyatt. She rolled her eyes, "You do remember that you have charges, right? I'm one of them."

"So are the twins and Michael, but I don't give them nearly as much attention as I give you." He answered back to her, and then looked at his son, "You can't do that buddy, you scared me." Emma stared at Matthew, before beginning to smile. Wyatt smiled back, then spoke up, "Don't you have class?"

"Oh shit" Emma said and orbed out.
