I don't any of the characters from charmed, or twilight.

Bella's POV

He lied to us all.

Me. The Charmed Ones and Leo. And it took us all this long to realize that he was their son. How could he not have told us? How could he just keep it a secret all this time? How could I have not seen this? I mean what the heck! I'm a Goddess for goodness sakes I should have seen this, I should have at least sensed this. But no, I was blinded by infatuation and curiosity and I feel like an absolute fool. He should have told us he should have at least told me. But he didn't have to because I'm not related to him in any way...beside the fact that I have a constant need to be around him. Not that I'm obsessed. I shouldn't be feeling this way about him, I couldn't fall in love not with him not with anyone.

But it was to late. He stole my heart and it was going to take a lot more than a lie to rip me away from him. Could I trust him though? I always put too much faith in the men in my life, Edward, Jacob. Chris couldn't be like them. I would not let that happen. I vowed that I wouldn't make the same mistake again as crawled under the covers to go to bed. I closed my eyes and tried to forget the stress of the outside world.

The first thought that came into my mind was the heavens, it always calmed me down. But I felt the image getting even more real and real...until I heard Chris.

'Bella?' He asked, Chris stepped towards me hesitantly. 'Am I glad to see you.''

I frowned at him. 'What are you doing up here Chris you're not allowed here. If someone sees you you're going to get into a lot of trouble.'

'Listen. Can you hear that?' He grabbed my hand and pulled me closer to him.

'Let go.' I warned him in a low voice but he didn't release my hand and a part of me didn't want him to. His hand was big and warm and it sent waves of warmth throughout my body. Instead he placed his finger over my lips and shushed me. I felt my cheeks get red and I pulled my hand away from harshly. 'What's wrong with you?'

'Bella please just listen.' He pleaded with me and I felt myself giving in. I closed my eyes and tried to listen to whatever it was he was talking about. I concentrated, a skill Leo taught me, and suddenly I heard it. A loud thumping sound like someone was stomping or knocking. With my eyes still closed I told Chris I heard the noise.

'Open Bella. Open.' I heard the noise getting closer and louder my hands began to tremble and lip quivered but I still didn't open my eyes like Chris asked me to.

'Chris, what is that noise?' I began to get frightened and Chris just kept saying open. I shook my head and wriggled out his grasp and began to run with my eyes still closed. And suddenly I awoke startled in bed. I was dreaming. But it felt so real.

'Open Bella. Come on open up.' Chris' voice interrupted my thoughts and I felt my heart swell up. He was knocking on the door and everything began to fall into place.

'Chris? What are you doing here?'

'Can you just please open the door? I need to talk to you.' He pleaded no longer knocking.

I sat in bed for a few seconds, thinking about the pros and cons of letting Chris into my room. After a moments thought I leaped out of bed and opened the door for Chris.

'Hey.' I said breathlessly.

'Can I come in?' He asked a bit shyly.

I took a step back and opened the open more widely so he could enter.

'So where have you been since your talk with Piper?' I asked him curiously after they spoke he orbed away without another word to anyone.

'Out...thinking.' He told me looking at his feet. I walked to my bed and crawled under the covers.

'About what?' I asked.

'How I should apologize for lying to you.' He looked up at me and tried to smile.

I scoffed and glared at him. 'Yeah you think.'

'I'm really sorry. I just couldn't expose my relationship with the Charmed Ones. It would put everyone in a lot more danger.' I turned away from him and looked at the wall. 'Please Bella you have to believe me. I'm not up to no good. I'm just trying to prove that I'm not a bad guy.'

'I know your not a bad guy but you could have told us. That's all you had to do.' I said to him in a sad voice, I hadn't meant to sound so depressed but it just came out like that.

'I know. But I have my reasons.' He told me with a dark hint to his voice.

I stared at him and felt my lips purse on their own account. 'Well I guess I don't understand those reasons.' He nodded curtly and sat at the edge of my bed. I turn my head to the side and tried to break the tension in the air. 'That's all you wanted then, you wanted to protect us.' I heard him murmur a soft yes and then I continued talking. 'Why me? I'm perfectly capable of taking care of myself, you don't have to be my body guard.'

'I...' He began, but he choked on his words and he began again. 'Your like family.'

'But I'm not.' I told him truthfully. As much as I bonded with the Halliwell's I would never truly be part of the family. He turned away from me and looked at his hand his eyes were dark and cloudy. It was almost as of he were trying to block me out. Why would he need to though? Unless...unless there was more to his visit than just apologizing for not being truthful. I opened my mouth and dreaded asking my next question. 'Chris, what are you keeping from me?'

He took a jagged deep breath and I held mine and waited for him to tell the truth.

'It seems like I haven't been quite honest with you or anyone else for that matter.' He said so sadly I knew he was going to say something that would ruin our relationship forever. I didn't release my breath and I still waited for him to tell me what he was keeping form me.

'I think I'm in love with you.' He said in a timid voice. I looked at him for a second before I took in what he had just told me. But the problem was I couldn't take it in, a part of my mind was pushing the words he had just told me away. I didn't want them to go away I wanted to tell him how I felt even though I didn't know how I felt. My eyes began to water and I tried to think of something to say to him. But my mind was in a jumble, and trying to understand what he just told me made my heart flutter.

'Oh.' Was all I said. I felt like a fool, I could have at least said thank you or I feel the same way. But I don't think I felt the same way.

'Yeah.'

'How long?' I asked.

'I think it was the first time I saw you.' He told me truthfully. His hands began to tremble and so did mine. But there was something in his eyes that made me remember the first time I saw him. I remember that day as clearly as any other day in my life. And that's when I realized my strange attraction and my smitten attitude told me I had feelings for him. Feelings that I had never felt before. Not with Edward or Jacob. These feelings were so beautiful because I was a changed person. I had confidence and strength, and Chris made everything I felt so much more enchanting. I felt something true and real with him.

I didn't know if it was love but it certainly was powerful. I tried to form words in my mind to tell him how I felt but everything I thought of sounded wrong.

'Chris...I don't know what to say.' I stopped there to think of something else to tell him but he cleared his throat and laughed darkly.

'No I get it, completely. I'm just gonna go.' He said hurriedly before he got up quickly and half ran to the door.

'Chris?' I called after him. 'You didn't let me finished.' He had his hand on the doorknob and he turned slowly to look at me. 'I don't know what to say except I feel the exact same way about you.' I smiled weakly and silently congratulated myself for acting like a grown-up and showing my true feelings instead of hiding them deep inside.

Chris looked at me, shock written all over his face. 'Really? He questioned me skeptically.

'Yeah. Really.' He rushed up to me and kissed my lips roughly.

When he pulled away I bit my lip and looked at him shyly. 'Wow. That was great.' He looked at, almost proud and nodded in agreement. But I didn't know if he was proud because of me or the kiss. I hoped it was both. He began to kiss me once more and I let myself go into this kiss that didn't restrain myself or try to not touch him as little as possible like I did with Edward, I could truly be human with Chris even though I wasn't actually human. I felt my body turn to jello and I felt my skin turn hot and red.

A thought rushed into my mind that made me pull away from his lips and take a deep breath. My skin turned even more hot and I tried to erase the images in my mind.

'What is it?' He asked me cautiously, like he was afraid he did something wrong.

But I knew he didn't do anything wrong but I couldn't decide if I was ready or not. I knew that I wanted to and the only person I wanted to do it with was Chris but I was unsure it I was ready. I looked into his eyes and found the answer I was looking for. When I was with Chris time stopped and angels sang I was ready to be with Chris more I had ever wanted to be with anyone else. i didn't know whether or not to ask him, I was too embarrassed, but I knew wanted to and with him it felt right. So I made up my mind and decided to take a chance.

'Would you like to stay the night?' I asked him without looking into his eyes and with such a low voice I knew he wouldn't be able to hear me. But he did.

'Are you sure?' He asked hesitantly. The look on my face and the tone of my voice must have made it seem like I didn't want him to be with me.

'Yes.' I said so confidently I knew he couldn't think I was unsure.

He wrapped his arms around me and gently laid me down on the bed. He hovered over my and I felt his warm breath fan out on my face. His warm lips made his way to my neck and he began to kiss me gently. I felt my breath hitch and I tugged at the end of his shirt in anticipation. Although I had that feeling I was also very frightened, what if it did it wrong or what if I was terrible. My thoughts were interrupted as he crashed his lips into mine and began to kiss me with passion and lust.

The fear in me faded and was replaced with pleasure, all that mattered was that I was with Chris and he was with me. All that mattered was that he wanted to be with me as much as I wanted to be with him and yes it took us some time to realize that but it was worth it.

This was worth it.

'I love you.' He told me quickly as he pulled away form my lips to kiss my now bare shoulder.

I smiled out of pure adoration. 'I love you too.'

And then I was swimming in a river or ecstasy alongside Chris drowning myself in his love.
