Daddy's Girl.

Disclaimer: Please see Chapter 1.

Thanks for the lovely reviews everyone. This would have been updated a couple of days ago but my laptop is being rubbish.


Chapter 7: A Fathers Touch.

"Leo go check with the Elders and see if they can help. Chris orb her down to her room and I will be there in a minute," said Piper taking charge. Both nodded and disappeared.

"Paige will you call Sheila and see if she is ok with keeping Wyatt a little longer just in case this isn't magical. Phoebe check the book and see if you can find anything about what could be causing this if it is. Oh and keep an eye on that one too," she said gesturing at her future son in the crystal cage.

"What is the matter with my daughter? I want to see her," said Wyatt angrily. How dare they keep his daughter away from him?

"As if we are letting you anywhere near her. You probably did this to her," said Paige.

"I did not. I would never hurt her," he said. Paige just shook her head at him and orbed away to call Sheila.

Phoebe could see in his eyes that he was telling the truth. "Maybe we should at least let him see her," she said.

"Maybe later, for now, he can stay here and be quiet. I need to help Chris," said Piper and she left the room.

"She's my daughter dammit," he said trying to orb out but failing.


Downstairs meanwhile Chris had laid Amalie on the bed and was pacing nervously waiting for his mom to come down. A groan drew his attention to the bed and he looked down to see Amalie stirring.

"Hey Ammie, how are you feeling?" he asked.

"I feel awful, what's wrong with me?" she asked.

"We don't know honey but we will," he said as Piper walked in.

"Hi sweetie," she said approaching the bed. "How are you feeling?" she asked sitting down on it beside the young girl.

"Cold," she said shivering and pulling the blanket tighter around herself.

Piper placed the back of her hand onto Amalie's forehead and could feel the burning heat radiating off her. Amalie just shivered again and Piper felt sorry for the young girl who was clearly very ill. She wandered into the bathroom and came back out with a wet cloth. She smiled and placed it on Amalie's forehead. Amalie then sighed at the cool relief it gave her.

"That any better sweetie?" she asked pushing some of her hair back from her face.

"Yes thank you," she replied still keeping the blanket tightly wrapped around the rest of her.

"Where's Aunt Paige and Aunt Phoebe?" asked Chris.

"Paige is calling Sheila and Phoebe is checking the book and watching the older version of your big brother," she explained.

"You do realize Wyatt will talk Phoebe into letting him go," said Chris.

"He wouldn't, would he?"

Chris just gave her a faint smile and a nod. Piper glanced worriedly at the ceiling as if she expected him to suddenly appear.


Two hours later and Amalie was a lot worse. Her temperature had risen and she kept drifting in and out of consciousness. The Elders had told Leo that there were many different potions that could make a person ill but without proof it was magical, there was nothing they could do. Phoebe had found nothing in the book and had been through it three times just to be sure whilst ignoring Wyatt's incessant pleas to be freed. Paige had been sent up to make sure she didn't let Wyatt go.

Leo was now helping Piper and Chris take care of Amalie. In her fever driven state she was beginning to get confused and unsure of what was going on. She seemed to have forgotten all about travelling to the past and saving Chris.

"Where am I?" she asked.

"You're at the manor Ams. You passed out upstairs," replied Chris.

"Why are you here, you're not supposed to be, you're dead," she said looking at him in confusion.

"What?" asked Chris shifting back slightly.

"She is just a little confused right now son," said Leo softly.

Amalie turned to face him. "What's going on Grandpa, why is Uncle Chris here and who is this lady?" she asked pointing at Piper.

"I'm your grandma Piper," she replied with a gentle smile.

"No you can't be, she died before I was born," said Amalie jumping off the bed.

"Amalie calm down, you are in the past so she is still alive," explained Leo.

"No I don't believe you. You're demons trying to trick me. Dad where are you, I need you," she called out.

"Amalie you really are in the past. You came back to save your Uncle Chris," said Leo trying to get through to the clearly confused young girl.

"I don't believe you. You must be shape shifters or something. If you don't leave me alone, my dad will kill you. He Is the Source of All Evil you know. Dad I need you."

"Yeah shame he's locked in a crystal cage isn't it," said Chris before he could stop himself.

"What? He cannot be. You're lying. Dad where are you, please help me." She was beginning to sound desperate now and it was starting to worry Leo.

"Sweetie you need to calm down. You are safe and we are not going to hurt you," said Piper taking another step closer. Amalie threw out her hand and pushed them all the way across the room.

"Dad where the hell are you. I need you, please come," she said.

The other three stood up and walked over to her again. Amalie looked at them fearfully thinking they were going to hurt her. Tears rushed to her eyes and she sank to the floor wishing her dad were here. He would soon sort them out. He hadn't always been there for her but if she had ever really needed him then he would be. "Daddy," she called out, praying he would appear.


Upstairs Wyatt was still complaining and trying to escape.

"Come on Aunt Phoebe, let me go and see her," he said trying to appeal to her soft side.

Phoebe really wanted to give in and move the crystal but she knew Piper would kill her. She had never been able to get much of Chris but she could read a lot off Wyatt right now. He was angry but at the same time, he was worried about Amalie too. Suddenly he could hear her.

"Dad where are you, I need you."

"That's my daughter down there. I have a right to know if she is ok."

"I'm sure she is fine," said Phoebe but Wyatt knew it wasn't true, he could still hear her.

"Dad I need you

"Have you always been this annoying?" asked Paige.

"When it comes to my daughter I ……" he paused suddenly being able to sense his daughter's worry increase.

"Dad where are you please help me."

"What is it?" asked Phoebe sensing his worry.

"She needs me; you have to let me go to her."

"Sure she does," said Paige sarcastically.

"Dad where the hell are you? I need you, please come?"

Wyatt could hear the fear in her voice and knew something was wrong. Even though he hadn't spent a lot of time with his daughter as she had been with the resistance, he could still tell when she was scared or in pain. He had orbed to her a few times when she had been hurt but always made sure no one saw him. It wouldn't do for any of his enemies to see he had a softer side. This Amalie was much older then the one he knew but he was still her dad.

"Daddy."

"Dammit Aunt Paige she is screaming for me," he said angrily. Her screams were echoing in his head and he knew he needed to go to her.

Suddenly a crystal from each of the circles disappeared in orbs and he was free.

"Thanks Aunt Paige," he called out before orbing downstairs.

"But I didn't do it," she called after him still looking at where the crystals had previously been.


Wyatt orbed into the bedroom to see Amalie huddled up in the corner. His mother, father and brother stood over her trying to reason with her. Piper turned and spotted her son behind them. She instantly stepped in front of Amalie.

"You're not going anywhere near her," she said angrily.

"You really think you can stop me?" he asked.

Amalie suddenly looked up as he spoke. "Daddy, you came."

"Of course I did baby girl," he replied.

His family still hadn't moved so Wyatt waved his hand and orbed them to the other side of the room. He then moved over to his daughter and knelt down in front of her. She instantly threw her arms around him hugging him tight.

"Its ok baby girl, you're safe now. I'm here," he said soothingly.

Amalie finally calmed down and moved away from her dad slightly. "You look different, younger," she said looking at him closely.

"That's because I am little one. I am the daddy you knew when you were 8, so I don't know anything past that I am afraid."

Amalie looked at him closely and then held out her hand. As Wyatt placed his on top, he was flooded with memories of everything that had happened since Amalie was eight. He saw himself tell her that Chris was dead and watched her break down. He saw himself kill everyone in the Resistance and Leo orb her to safety. He saw himself save her from his own demons and others many times without revealing himself to them or her. He saw her finally agree to return to the mansion. He saw his many attempts to get her to properly join him and her refusal each time. He saw the nightmares that plagued her sleep and how his future self would be there helping her through them each time. He even saw the odd moment of happiness between the two of them. Finally, he saw the attack at the manor that took out Leo and sent Amalie to the past to save Chris.

He lifted his hand and sat back overwhelmed by everything he had just learnt especially seeing how Chris' death had affected his future self.

"I knew it was you," Amalie said softly.

"What?"

"All those times you saved me from demons and darklighters. I knew it was you killing them, I could sense you."

"What did she do to him?" asked Piper.

Amalie suddenly remembered the other people who were in the room and backed away in fear.

"Its ok Amalie, they won't hurt you I promise," he said.

Amalie nodded. "Are they really who they say they are?" she asked and Wyatt nodded.

"I'm sorry for freaking out on you all," she said standing up. She wobbled and would have fallen over if it weren't for Chris quickly grabbing hold of her.

"Why don't you get back into bed little one," he said kindly. Amalie wrapped her arms round him giving him a hug.

"Love you Uncle Chris," he said softly.

"Love you too Ammie."

Chris helped his niece into bed and gently tucked her in. He then bent down and kissed her on the head. Wyatt walked over and sat down on the other side of her. He gently stroked her hair as he had seen his future self do and she soon drifted off to sleep.

Piper then noticed that Phoebe and Paige were in the room. "He soon charmed you two then," she said in an annoyed tone.

"We didn't do it," said Phoebe instantly.

"No Amalie did," said Leo with a grin. He then pointed at the two crystals that sat in the corner where Amalie had been previously.

"That's my girl," said Wyatt with a grin causing Chris to glare at him.

"So what is wrong with my daughter then?" asked Wyatt standing up and approaching his family.

"We don't know son," replied Leo.

"If it's a magical illness maybe I can get a premonition off her," suggested Phoebe.

"It's worth a try," said Chris and he moved away from the bed so she could approach.

Phoebe couldn't help but see how young and innocent Amalie looked when she was asleep. It was hard to believe this little girl had been through so much. She gently placed her hand on her shoulder and was instantly pulled into a vision.

"It's magical," she said once she was out of it.

"Are you sure?" asked Leo.

"Yes someone threw a vial at her last night as she walked back from the bathroom. There was no sign of it when Amalie turned round so I guess she thought, she imagined it."

"Did you see who it was Phoebe?" asked Paige.

"No sorry, they stayed in the shadows."

"So what do we do now then?" asked Paige.

"Leo go check with the Elders and see if they can do something. Phoebe, Paige go to Magic School and see if you can find anything there," replied Piper.

"While you lot do all that. I'm going to the Underworld to find out who is behind this," said Wyatt.

"I'm coming with you," said Chris standing up. There was no way; he was going to let his evil older brother loose in the Underworld.

"Fine. It will be just like the old times hey Chris," he said with a smile.

"Yeah great," replied Chris sarcastically as they disappeared in a flurry of orbs.

Leo gave Piper a quick kiss before orbing away. She moved to sit on the bed beside her granddaughter. She picked up the face cloth from off the bedside unit dampened it and placed it on Amalie's forehead.


Authors Note: So can they save Amalie in time or is she destined to die. How will Wyatt and Chris get on in the Underworld and can they still save Wyatt from being turned?
