Chris' House- Morning

Chris and Bianca woke immediately, hearing a loud crash outside of their room.

Bianca: What was that?

Chris: I don't know.

Chris gently slipped his arm out from under Isabelle, who slept between him and Bianca. As Chris stood up he saw Bianca start to get out of bed to.

Chris: No, Bianca. Stay here with Isabelle.

Bianca looked like she was about to protest, but once she looked down at their daughter she settled back down in the bed. Chris quickly crossed over to the bedroom door and slowly opened it, peering out. The fear for his family's safety left him quicker than it had come when he saw that Rachel had been the one to make the crash. What the hell had she done to the front door? It was on the floor, slit in half.

Chris: (growling) Rachel, what are you doing?

As soon as Chris stepped out of his room and Rachel saw him, she swung a large ax at him. Chris barely had time to jump back to avoid loosing his head.

Chris: What the hell is the matter with you?

Rachel angrily went to swing again. Chris quickly reached out a hand and used his powers.

Chris: Ax.

Rachel was obviously stunned when the axe orbed out of her hands and into Chris'.

Chris: Now that you're unarmed, what's up?

Rachel's eyes glowed with rage as she yelled at Chris.

Rachel: Where is my daughter?

Chris: You chopped down my door at five o'clock in the morning to find Shane?

Rachel: Hell yes! Now where is she?

Shane: Mom?

Both Chris and Rachel looked away from each other and at Shane, who had just walked out of Isabelle's room. Her tired eyes widened when she saw the front door all over the floor and her crazy looking mother staring at her like a mad dog.

Shane: Mom, what are you doing here?

Rachel: What were you thinking coming home with your uncle? You know he's not right in the head.

Chris's look angrily at her when he heard her say that.

Chris: If anyone's not right in the head, it's you.

Rachel ignored him and walked over to her daughter. She grabbed Shane by the arm and roughly pulled her towards the front door.

Rachel: Don't expect to be coming here anymore.

Shane: But I don't want to go.

Rachel: Do you think I give a damn?

Chris quickly stepped in front of Rachel to stop her from leaving.

Chris: She said she doesn't want to leave, Rachel.

Rachel: Get out of my way!

Rachel shoved Chris in the shoulder, but he just grabbed her wrist.

Chris: Rachel, have you been drinking again?

Rachel: That's none of your business. Move!

Rachel pushed pass Chris and walked out the front door, dragging Shane along.

Shane: I want to stay here, mom. This isn't fair.

Rachel: Shut up, Shane. You're coming home.

Chris was about to try and stop Rachel again when Shane orbed out of her mother's grip and orbed back into the house. Rachel gasped when she realized Shane had orbed.

Rachel: Oh, hell no. My daughter is not about to have powers.

Chris: Shane, you never said you could orb.

Shane shrugged innocently, knowing her mother was pissed about her having powers.

Shane: I just found out I could orb a couple of months ago.

Rachel: Young lady, you are no longer aloud to orb. You'll turn out just like your damn father!

Chris turned to Rachel.

Chris: Hold on a minute. Don't say that.

Rachel: Shut up, Chris! I've had just about enough of you!

Rachel looked back at Shane and the girl back away slightly.

Rachel: I can't believe you're a witch. You're nothing but a trash now.

Even though she tried to hide it, Chris saw tears start to fill Shane's eyes.

Chris: That's enough, Rachel. Shane's just a little girl. She's not going to turn out like Wyatt.

Rachel: (to Shane) You know what! Stay here with your uncle and become the little piece of shit your dad wanted you to be!

Chris: Rachel, stop it!

Shane cried freely now and she looked up her mother sadly. She knew her mom was just drunk, but her words still hurt.

Rachel: Quit your crying, you little bitch! It's your fault my life is so messed up! If you hadn't been born then I would still be happy!

Shane squeezed her eyes shut and covered her ears as she fought so hard to stop crying.

Shane: Stop it.

Chris: Rachel, stop this! Don't talk to Shane like that!

Rachel: (ignoring him) I can't believe I kept you! I should have gotten an abortion or given you away after you were born just like my mother said! Your jackass father was the one that wanted to keep you! Now you're going to end just like him!

Shane: (screaming) Shut up!

Suddenly, mid shout, Rachel froze with a furious look on her face. Chris stared at his sister in law in shock as Shane fell to her knees, crying. Chris slowly walked over to Rachel and waved a hand in front of her face. She stayed completely frozen, the same angry expression on her face.

Chris: Shane, did you do this?

Shane removed her hands from her ears and looked up Chris as she nodded. She wiped the tears off of her cheeks but they were just replaced by new ones.

Shane: I didn't mean to, but she just made me mad.

Chris touched Rachel's arm and gave her a small push. She rocked back and forth, but still didn't unfreeze. It was like she was a statue.

Chris: Can you undo it?

Shane nodded and glanced at her frozen mother.

Chris: Maybe you should unfreeze her.

Shane: No. She'll yell at me again. Please don't make me unfreeze her, Uncle Chris.

Chris sighed and looked at Rachel again. He knew once Shane unfroze her that the woman would be screaming and shouting again.

Chris: Unfreeze her, Shane. I'll handle her.

Shane thought about leaving her mother the way she was, but she wasn't about to disobey her uncle. Reluctantly she stared at Rachel and after a couple of seconds she unfroze. Chris was surprised when he saw that Rachel's once mad face changed to a frightened one.

Rachel: (to Shane) What the hell did you do to me?

Chris: What do you mean?

Rachel: The brat froze me or something! I could hear and see you two, but I couldn't move!

Shane turned to Chris and gave him a pleading look.

Shane: Uncle Chris.

Chris knew what she wanted to looked at Rachel.

Chris: Rachel, it's time to leave.

Rachel: No problem.

Rachel gave Shane one last look of disgust before she left the house. Chris watched her disappear down the street before he turned back to look at Shane, who looked like she had just gotten her heart broken.

Chris: Your mom didn't mean what she said, Shane. She was just surprised that you were a witch.

Shane: She hates me, Uncle Chris.

Chris walked over to his niece and knelt down in front of her.

Chris: She doesn't hate you. She just freaks out when it comes to magic. Don't blame yourself, sweetie.

Chris pulled Shane into a hug and ran a hand over her blonde curls.

Shane: I don't want to go home. I hate my mom.

Chris: You don't mean that, Shane. You're just mad at her right now.

Shane: I do mean it. She's a horrible mom.

Chris couldn't fight her on that one. Rachel was a terrible mother and he really didn't want to send Shane back to her.

Chris: Listen to me. You can stay here if you want.

Shane gasped and pulled away from Chris to look at him. She grinned and her eyes lit up with joy.

Shane: Really? Thank you, Uncle Chris.

Chris: You can stay on one condition. You have to write to your mom every other week, okay?

Shane frowned and looked at Chris as if he was crazy.

Shane: Why do you want me to write to her?

Chris: Because I know even though your mother is messed up and mad at you right now, in time she'll start to miss you.

Shane started to protest, but Chris cut her off quick.

Chris: Do you want to stay or not?

Shane sighed and put her hands on her hips, a habit she had picked up from Rachel.

Shane: Yes, I want to stay.

Chris: Then you have to write to your mother. Do you understand me, Shanel Felicity Halliwell?

Shane: Yes, I understand. And please don't call me Shanel. I hate my name.

Chris smiled at her and rolled his eyes. Oh boy. Bianca was going to kill him. They were going to have a hand full with Isabelle, Shane, and the new baby on the way.
