A/N: Hello to all those who are reading this story. I want to thank you for taking the time out of your day to read my story and special thanks to those who take the time to write me a review.
I just wanted to clarify something: Luke did not curse Chris but wounded him, much like when someone throws someone an energy ball or sends them flying with telekinesis etc.
X*X
I also wanted to point out few things. I welcome all sorts of reviews even flames.
FreakShow pointed out few things about my story and being OCs in every chapter and that the story itself was unoriginal: I tend to differ. For my defense I've read a lot of Charmed stories in this site and in others regarding this very same subject. Chris goes to the past to save his brother, the sisters find out one way or another that he's family, they discover some of the terrible things that goes on in the future, and BAM somehow they find a way to fix things.
This idea is recycled I do agree with this, however, from all the stories I've read and I don't want to offend other authors but personally I'm tired of reading a weak and almost pathetic excuse of a man Chris is portrayed. At the season finally of season 5 and the beginning of season 6 I saw this strong character that came into their lives saying that he came back into the past to save the future. He was mysterious and it was a breath of fresh air that the show portrayed. But as the season progressed his character started to become a little bit wimpy.
The sisters treated him so badly that I was shocked that no one did anything to stop their behavior. I personally don't believe that you should treat someone like that and what the sisters did they didn't give any sort of respect to Chris. Then BAM we find out that Chris is family and they are all nice to him. I personally didn't like that because the message I received from that behavior is that you can treat anyone like crap as long as they're not family.
I understand that he manipulated them and what not but even so, this random guy comes into their lives and leaves everything behind just to save their precious lives and they treat him badly. Like I said at the beginning he was mysterious and intriguing, for he seemed to hold a lot on his shoulders and seemed to have a dark past. He seemed strong in persona and in power, and this is the Chris I'm trying to portray in my story. The original Chris as I like to call it.
On the second arc of the season (when they find out) is what people usually like to concentrate their stories around. This is the Chris who looked two-dimensional and not the three-dimensional Chris I first saw. I liked the series overall but I just wished that they had made Chris the strong character they were trying to create in the beginning.
As to Paige, I know that some of you might think that she's also OC but let me remind you how she was in seasons 4&5. Even in season 6X7 "Soul Survivor" she gave up her own soul in order to save one innocent. Magic has become her as much as it is part of, more so because she's half-whitelighter-and-half-witch. Unlike her sisters who have the liberty to choose of whether or not to continue with her magic Paige's whitelighter side will never let her go. She's very driven in season 4&5 and that's the Paige I liked, and not so much in season 6 and on, so I wanted her to concentrate and stay in the path of Magic, for her life to continue in Magic and for her to integrate herself more in magic. The Paige I'm trying to portray is the Paige I think she would eventually grow up to be if she had stayed in the path of pure magic.
The other characters are basically genetic, but regarding to Piper's little stunt in betraying Paige. I think that it suits her character, because she wants nothing else but to protect her son. She lives for her son(s). Paige is her sister and who else to trust than her sister and send her to another time to report back with details. Remember that Piper is the head of their coven and she did a decision regarding their next generation. Overall she's did a decision that had a good intention for their coven but it was very badly executed.
This is the reason why I'm writing this story the way I am. I hope that FreakShow and others who haven't come forward and tell me about it, can understand as to why I'm writing the characters the way I am. I also want to point out that a lot of the characterizations that stories portray are based on each other, so even though it might seem OC to some you do have to take into consideration that many people read and write what the common forum wants.
Now that I'm done rambling I want to thank you for understanding and it would be awesome if you guys put up your point of views. You don't have to agree with me or anything. I'm not arguing either I'm just clarifying and stating my point of view. Thanks.

Back to the story…
Chapter 38:
Leo's face showed a series of emotions: confused, shock, disbelieve, horror, guilt, confused again, anger, and guilt again.
"What are you saying Phoebe?" Leo turned to the middle sister.
"I…" Phoebe trailed off as she looked unsure between Paige and to a stoic Chris. "…ah, Chris is your son."
Paige looked away, how could her sister say it? She looked at Chris uncontained. His features were too stoic that put her on her edge.
"What?" Leo repeated looking at Phoebe and then at Chris.
"We don't have time for this." Chris suddenly said, "There is something wrong with Piper."
"Don't you mean mom?" Phoebe encouraged.
"Why didn't Piper tell me?" Leo asked running a hand over his face and looking at Chris with mixed emotions. "Why did you push me to go to the heavens?"
"Because your son needed you." Chris answered, "Wyatt needed his father to look after him from Up Above. You need to be in the heavens if you want to protect your son, all of your children. You know what could have happened if you didn't."
"But I wanted to be there for Piper," Leo argued, his face was full of guilt and pain, "for my son…sons."
"You're an angel Leo," Chris argued, "An Elder to be exact, you were chosen and you know of the consequences of not staying in your path, in staying within the Light. To keep the universe balanced and to keep the seals from breaking. You know that being an Elder is more than a Calling, it's not a choice it's a reward and the opportunity to do good. You have the power to keep the Children of the Universe safe. It's your responsibility, your fate and destiny, and the Universe has chosen you Leo. Unlike the rest of humanity who are barely able to do anything, but you can, you can make a difference."
There was silence and Paige looked at Chris. He looked pale and still dizzy and she remembered her sister again.
"We need to go and check on Piper!" Paige reminded them, "I'll go and get the Book of Shadows. I'll meet you in Magic School."
"I'll go with you." Baldric volunteered as the rest orbed away.
Paige grabbed Baldric's forearm and took them to the attic. The place was destroyed and half of the roof was missing. Circuit sparks flared and Paige covered her face and Baldric used his body to protect her from electrocuting.
Paige saw the book hiding underneath the rundown sofa. The problem was that if she walked any further she could fall through the dangerous hole on the floor.
"Book!" she called and the large text fell in swirls of white orbs on her extended arms.
As soon as she removed the book the sofa fell through the hole followed by the table because of the rug that connected them.
"Careful!" Baldric scolded as he picked her up from danger and put her on his other side.
"Thanks." She said, "Let's get out of here."
"Good thinking." Baldric nodded and Paige orbed them away to Magic School.
"We got it!" Paige exclaimed but what she saw was that Magic School was chaotic as well. The building wasn't destroyed but people were running left and right.
"What's going on?" Baldric stopped a young professor.
"There was a fight between the oldest Charmed One and the Headmaster!" the professor informed, "We need to get the kids out of here!"
"Point us to Piper!" Paige demanded, and the young professor did before he went off running again calling out for the students to evacuate.
"What's going on?" Baldric hissed, "Come on!"
But Paige was already ahead of him. They raced to the guest quarters where Piper was staying at and Paige saw the clear signs that indeed there had been a battle going on.
"Piper!" Paige called out, "Phoebe!"
"Chris!" Baldric called out, "Elder Leo!"
They heard Piper scream with pain and they both reach where they were at. Piper was wincing in pain on a sofa as she hugged her pregnant stomach painfully, "my baby my baby my baby…" she cried in a mantra.
"Paige!" Phoebe called out, "It's Piper, she's going into a premature labor we need to take her to the hospital!"
Leo was caressing Piper's hair with his hand as he was muttering something into hear ear.
"Where is Wyatt?" Paige asked looking around.
"That dam Elder took him!" Piper suddenly said, she was furious and then another wave of pain took her and she held on to her scream rolling with pain moaning. "I'm going to kill him!" she swore with a gnashed jaw.
"You need to calm down Piper," Phoebe cried, "you're going to lose your baby."
"Not necessarily," Chris said, "Some one take her to the hospital and stay with her."
He walked to Piper and grabbed her hand and made her look at him, "You're going to be okay, just put your energy on your baby. I'll bring your son Wyatt home. I promise. I'll bring him home safe and sound no matter what it takes."
Piper's eyes were filled with tears, "Leo." She called as Leo took Chris's spot.
"Phoebe you stay with her." Leo said, "Georgiana please take care of them."
"Yes," Georgiana took a step closer.
"I'm scared," Piper cried, "Please find Wyatt."
"We'll bring Wyatt back," Leo promised, "We'll bring him home so that he'll meet his little brother."
"Brother?" Piper asked but she didn't get her answer as another wave of pain took a hold over her.
"Take her now." Leo said stepping back letting Phoebe and Georgina leave with the love of his life.
"What now?" Baldric cleared his throat.
"We find that Son of a Bitch." Leo promised.
TBC.
