With newfound hope from Phoebe's revelation, Jessie and Chris expanded their research to lower level demons as well as higher-level demons. Paige had join Phoebe, Chris, and Jessie in the library while Piper and Leo remained in the nursery as they watched Wyatt play with some of the toys that were there.
"Ok, we've looked through all these books and still we can't find him!" Paige exclaimed in frustration. "Isn't there an easier way?"
"Chris, she's right." Jessie agreed as she stared at the towers of books that surrounded them. "Whatever level demon he is, he doesn't seem to be in these books."
Chris sighed out in defeat as he admitted to himself that the girls were right. Almost two hours have passed and they still had no clue who this demon was. The headache from this morning returned as he rested in face in his hands to try to ease the pain.
"We can't give up." Chris muttered from behind his hands.
"Chris is right, there has to be a way for us to get this demon." Phoebe stated trying to cheer up the spirits of her fallen family.
Meanwhile in the Nursery, Piper sat in a chair with Leo standing behind her, they watched as their first-born played alone. Piper gazed at her son as he examined the toy on the ground. She could see he wasn't having fun in this nursery.
"Piper what is it?" Leo asked as he saw her troubled face.
"Leo, our children....one is going to grow up to be evil and the other full pain and suffering." Piper said softly has the pain from her own words caused her eyes to water. "What kind of parents are we?"
"We're good parents Piper, it's going to be ok. We'll make sure it doesn't happen." Leo stated.
"Good parents? Our oldest son is the big evil in the future! Our youngest is suffering because of us!" Piper said aloud, but not loud enough to disturb the nearby children.
"Chris came back to change all that and we'll help him." Leo returned, "We can't lose faith in him." Leo assured her.
"Where do we go from here, just last night we found out we are suppose to have another son." Piper said, "We aren't even together anymore."
"I'm always here for you. I will always love you no matter what we go through." Leo replied as he squeezed her shoulders to try and comfort her. Piper's heart skipped as she listened to Leo's loving words. Her feelings never changed and she still loved him with everything she had.
As his parents had their conversation, Wyatt sat alone in the nursery as others played around him. He looked down sadly at his toys. Even though he was still a young child, he understood and comprehended better than most children older than him. Wyatt didn't want to play with these other children he didn't even know them. He wanted to play with his favorite playmate....Chris.
Piper looked up just in time to see one of the children walking towards Wyatt. The little girl stood in front of him as Wyatt's gaze came up from the ground and he looked at the child in front of him. They looked at each other for a moment when she offered her toy to him to play with.
In a blink of an eye, the noisy room that was once filled with joyous laughter of children became deafly quiet. Piper immediately rose to her feet as panic and fear took over and she raced over to her child. She gazed around the room as she saw all the children in the room....frozen.
In the library, Chris sat in his seat with his hands still covering his face. He was trying his best to listen to Phoebe as she shot off idea after idea on how to figure out who this demon was. Then suddenly in mid sentence, Phoebe just stopped talking and all was quiet.
Chris slowly uncovered his face to find out why is aunt stopped talking so abruptly. He stared at her as she stared back. She sat there, wide-open mouth with her hand raised in the air.
"Aunt Phoebe?" Chris asked confused as he continued to stare at her. He looked beside him to Jessie and she was in the same state of motion as Phoebe. Chris cautiously waved his hand in front on her face hoping to get a response, but he received none.
Chris's attention expanded to the entire room as he realized the room was completely frozen in time. It was like Piper had frozen the room, but Piper was nowhere to be found. Looking around once more, he quickly orbed to his mother.
Once the bluish orbs were gone, he was standing across from Piper as he saw panic and worry written all over her face. He took in the sight before him, Wyatt looked around innocently as Piper held him close.
"Mom what happened?" Chris asked worried, "Did you do this?" Chris said as he walked towards his mother.
"No...at least I don't think so." Piper responded unsure of what really happened.
"The entire school is frozen." Chris stated, "If it wasn't you, then who?" Chris asked as fear began to set over him.
"The whole school?" Piper repeated surprised as her gaze came to Wyatt, "Wyatt?" Piper stated as she turned her gaze to Chris.
"He did it?!" Chris exclaimed shocked.
"I think he did, he was sitting there playing alone and that girl tried to play with him," Piper explained as she pointed to the small girl that was frozen still extending her toy out in front of her.
"I think he just panicked, he never really played with other kids before." Piper said.
"So he froze the whole school! Just because some girl tried to play with him!" Chris yelled out in disbelief.
"Oh c'mon he's just a kid. He got scared." Piper defended Chris's older brother. "Where are your aunts?" Piper asked as she realized her sisters weren't there.
"They're frozen!" Chris exclaimed.
"That's impossible, they're good witches. Good witches don't freeze." Piper stated.
"Yeah well last time I checked this entire school is pretty much made up of good witches. And I am pretty sure they are ALL frozen." Chris returned sarcastically.
"Orb me to them." Piper instructed as she held out her hand. Chris quickly took his mother's hand and looked up at Leo.
"What about Leo?" Chris asked.
"Oh yeah." Piper replied as she took of his hand as well. "Ok let's go." She finished as orbs surrounded them and moments later they were in the Library.
"This can't be good, how could they possibly be frozen! Even if Wyatt did do it, why would they freeze as well." Piper stated in confusion. "This doesn't make sense."
"How come we're not frozen too?" Chris asked as he became more confused.
"I don't know." Piper said as she looked around the room, "Maybe because we all have the power, so we can't freeze one another?" Piper guessed.
"That would make sense. Mom, try unfreezing them." Chris suggested.
"Ok here goes." Piper replied as she flicked one of her hands towards Phoebe and instantly Phoebe was unfrozen.
"....demon is from another dimension." Phoebe said as she finished the sentence she started before she was frozen. She was oblivious to the fact that she was just frozen moments before. She looked ahead and found that Chris wasn't there. "Chris?" Phoebe called out confused.
"Behind you." Chris replied to her call.
"How'd you do that?" Phoebe asked confused as she rose from her seat. "And when did you get here?" Phoebe asked her eldest sister. She turned to Paige and saw that her youngest sister was staring into space.
Phoebe slowly walked over to Paige and waved her hand in front of her baby sister. "What's wrong with Paige?" Phoebe asked concerned as she turned around, "What's wrong with everybody?" Phoebe asked as she scanned the room, "They're frozen!" Phoebe exclaimed answering her own question.
"Yes they are." Piper confirmed.
"Piper did you do this." Phoebe accused.
"No...your nephew did." Piper replied.
"Chris?! This is unnecessary use of magic. You should know better than that." Phoebe said as she turned to her future nephew.
"Ok bad headache just got worst." Chris replied, ignoring his aunt's accusation and scolding as he rubbed his temple.
"Not that nephew, this one." Piper stated as she gestured to Wyatt.
"Wyatt? But he froze Paige...wait was I frozen too?" Phoebe asked.
"Yeah. He froze the entire school!" Chris replied, his headache not helping the situation.
"Chris why don't you go rest over there and stay away from the books for a little bit while I try to figure out how I'm gonna unfreeze all these people." Piper stated as she set Wyatt on the table. "You stay there." She instructed her child.
"He froze the school?!" Phoebe said in shock, "But your powers aren't even that strong."
"I know I know that's what scares me." Piper replied Phoebe could hear the fear in her voice.
"How about a spell?" Phoebe suggested.
"Sure..." Piper trailed off as she went over and unfroze Paige and Jessie.
As Piper filled Jessie and Paige in on what just happened, Phoebe sat at an empty table and began thinking up of a spell to unfreeze the school.
