Merry Christmas.


"It's dinner time!" Piper yelled. Quickly, young mouths found their way into dining room. Once everybody was settled, Bianca and Chris told everyone their news.

"What's your news?" Emma asked curiously, "We all stayed home for this, so it better be worth it."

"We're having our first child." Bianca said happily.

"Congratulations Bianca!" Alana exclaimed in excitement and hugged her sister-in-law, "That's wonderful. You two will be wonderful parents."

Wyatt hugged Bianca as well, "Guess you won."

Bianca stuck out her tongue, "Guess I did, sucker."

Chris felt an out-of-body experience watching the scene with Wyatt and Bianca. Were Wyatt and Bianca friends? Did they only know each other because of him? Chris looked at the two's exchange and felt himself remember Bianca's demise.

Alana kissed Chris' forehead quickly, "My best friend is finally having a baby. Funny, because he hasn't grown up himself yet." she laughed, "You'll be wonderful."

Chris wished he knew what Alana meant by 'best friend'. Chris wished he remembered the things that had occurred in this world. He wished this with all his will, because he could see himself friends with Alana. He just couldn't see her comfortable enough to show anyone affection. Chris smiled at Alana, "Thanks Lana" he said gratefully. Chris didn't know why, but he believed Alana when she called him her best friend. He felt that pull instinctively.

"I'm going to be a grandfather." Leo said with a smile on his face, "I couldn't be happier for you two."

"Dad, you're already a grandfather." Wyatt said with a roll of his eyes. He turned to Chris, "That's great little bro, I can't wait for my little niece or nephew."

"Wyatt's right for once, dad" Emma teased and then gave Chris a glance, "I can't wait to meet your baby. They're going to be beautiful."

"Does this mean Matthew and I are going to have a playmate?" Katie asked coyly.

"Indeed, it does, sweetie." Phoebe said to her daughter, "How exciting for you two." She said to Chris and Bianca.

"Thanks Aunt Phoebe." Chris said with a smile, then looked at his mother, "Mom?"

"I'm thrilled for you Chris. You are going to be a wonderful father." She kissed his forehead, "Try not to be too overprotective." then she whispered in his ear, "You deserve this blessing more than anyone I know.'

"Good luck with that one," Paige said with a chuckle, "Chris is overprotective of all his cousins. His child is going to be locked in a steel fortress."

The remaining children waited to give the congratulations. Rachel gave Chris a hug and Jacob a high-five. He gave them a look. Penny and Michael promised to watch the baby whenever needed. Carter said congratulations and asked if they believed their child to be a boy or a girl. Nicole answered this question by telling Bianca that she thought the baby would be a girl because Matthew had been a boy. Emma watched curiously as her family chattered on about her future nephew or niece.

"Hey bud," Chris said sitting next to his ten year old cousin, Carter.

"Congratulations on your baby." Carter said quietly.

"Thanks." Chris replied with a smile.

"Why are you talking to me, Chris?" Carter asked curiously, though there was a tone of impatience.

"Why wouldn't I?" Chris asked taken aback by the hostility from Carter, "I'm your cousin."

"I have no powers to protect the baby. I have no powers to protect anyone, not even Nicole. All I can do is orb." He stared at the ground, "I don't fit into this family."

"Sure you do" Chris assured him, "You don't have to feel bad for not having a ton of power; None of us really do."

"That's not true and you know it," Carter said angrily, "Wyatt's the perfect one with more powers than anyone can count. You're the favorite. Rachel and Jacob have fireballs, levitation and fading, Michael is the empath, Penny's can see history in real-time. Emma is can blow up and freeze others. Even my little sister can use telekinesis. Katie can see the future and she's three. I can orb and that's all" Carter said in one breath.

"I'm not the favorite, I just know them well" Chris explained briefly, but went no further in detail.

Carter gave him a confused look.

"What sucks more is that I have no powers. All I can do is orb and that's not a wiccan power." Carter said a depressive tone, "It's not fair."

"Is that what you think?" Chris asked in an amused tone. He orbed in a glass of water, "Here" he said and then dropped the glass on Carter.

"Chris!" Carter yelled and covered his face with his hand.

"What?" Chris asked with a small chuckle, "Proved my theory correct, didn't I?"

"The theory that you're crazy?" Carter asked and looked up to see the water had frozen, in more than one way. The water had been frozen in place and had frozen solid. "I didn't know you had that power." Carter said in a bewildered tone.

"I don't have that power," Chris explained to his cousin, "That was your doing."

"Right, well I don't want to get wet." Carter said before moving to another couch. As soon as he sat onto the other couch, the water unfroze and splashed onto couch, which in turn sprayed Chris. Carter laughed at Chris' expression of bewilderment.

"That wasn't funny. You did that on purpose." Chris chastised him.

"You threw the water at me first," Carter argued, before again laughing at Chris's wet clothing, "I'm sorry" he apologized then looked at Chris, "Is that really my power?"

"One of them, I'm willing to be there are more." Chris said in a thoughtful tone.

"You solve people's problems by throwing water on them." Carter said suddenly, "If that isn't the making of a father..."

"Thanks for the vote of confidence." Chris said dryly

"I can't believe Chris is going to have a baby." Penny said to Michael, "It's too bizarre to imagine the cousin that used to tell us to go away as kids is now going to have a kid of his own."

"Chris isn't having the baby, Bianca is." Michael joked lightly, "It's kind of weird to believe that it was only seven years ago that he didn't like children."

"You know what I meant, Mike." Penny said with a roll of eyes.

Michael was grateful that Penelope was his closest family member. He couldn't handle Emma's confrontational manner of dealing with others.


Meanwhile at Phoebe's House...

'Chris is really going to have a baby, Jake, How strange.' Rachel communicated to her brother telepathically. The twins had their own rooms with a door connected to both.

'Why is that strange? There's already a third generation in the family; Matthew, remember?' Jacob responded to her.

'Yeah, but this baby, is coming from a sweetheart.' Rachel exclaimed in her head loudly. Jacob covered his ears for a moment and sighed.

'Why is Chris a sweetheart?' Jacob asked, 'I missed the answer, when it occurred.'

'Did you see him? He was such a gentle child.' Rachel explained to him, 'Do you think it'll be a boy or girl?'

'Girl' Jake answered automatically.

'How do you know?' She asked curiously.

'Did the math; There are 5 girls and 5 boys and one next generation kid. Matthew is a boy so to even it out, it's going to be a girl' Jake explained.

'You're not very creative, Jacob.' Rachel answered in bemusement, 'It's a split chance either way.'

'Fine,' Jacob answered her back, 'There are more women in the world than men. So statistically, it's more likely to be a girl.'

"I'm going to have another nephew or niece!" Emma exclaimed to her six year old cousin Nicole, She turned to her nephew, "Matthew is going to have a baby cousin."

"Emma, you're supposed to be helping me with my homework," Nicole pleaded, "Mom is going to be upset if I don't finish it in time."

"Fine, Fine. Let's get started then."


"Another baby!" Phoebe said in a giddy tone, "How exciting."

"I'm just happy for them" Piper said, "Chris deserves to be a father and have this family. He's earned it."

"I think he likes this time," Paige said, "Rachel and Jacob cast a spell on Chris earlier because they believed him to have amnesia."

"Did it help?" Phoebe asked in a concerned tone.

"Depends on who wrote it," Piper said in a sarcastic tone, "Rachel is awful at creating spells."

"I don't think it worked. I think the only way Chris will get his memory back is if the two versions assimilate."

"Speaking of memory spells; which one did my trouble maker cast?" Coop asked curiously.

"I'm not sure. I think Rachel improvised from memory." Paige said, "But since it didn't work, I guess it's not a bad thing.

"No harm done," Leo agreed and then added, "Chris must be ecstatic to almost be a father. I was." He said and gave Piper a kiss on the cheek.


"Find the baby and you win" Katie explained to Matthew.

"Ok" Matthew said in a confused tone. Matthew didn't know the baby was already here.

Katie faded into Emma's room, "Wrong room" she explained to a confused Emma.

Matthew ended up in Michael's empty room and orbed out.

Meanwhile Bianca and Chris were kissing each other, when Katie orbs in and fall on them. "I win" she said and Matthew orbed in seconds after her.

"No fair" he said.

Bianca and Chris looked up. "I guess it's going to be like this when we have our baby" Bianca said slightly amused.

"What are you two doing?" Chris asked in an impatient tone.

"Playing 'find the baby'" Katie says and giggles. "I won" she said proudly and pointed at Bianca.

"The baby is not here yet, Katie" Bianca says smiling, "We've got seven months until then."

"Shoo," agreed Chris, "Go home, before your mom calls me looking for you two."

"Fine" Katie whined. She faded out, followed by Matthew's orbing out.
