Chapter 7 The Love of a Family
Leo orbed to an alley by the grocery store. He ran inside and searched for Phoebe and Paige. They weren't there.
" Damn it!" Leo said. He orbed out.
Paige and Phoebe were in another alley, fighting two Darklighters that showed up.
" Paige, watch it!" Phoebe said as one of them fired an arrow at Paige. She orbed out just in time.
" Crossbow," she said. The Darklighter who had aimed at her looked shocked and angry when his crossbow materialized in Paige's hand.
" Paige, get the other one!" Phoebe said as Paige tossed the crossbow to Phoebe.
" Crossbow!" Paige said. Before it dematerialized, the Darklighter's arrow shot Paige in the arm. She fell to the ground and the Darklighters disappeared. Leo orbed in.
" Leo, help. Paige's been shot," Phoebe said. She pulled the arrow out of Paige's arm and Leo healed the wound.
Chris stared at the demon materializing in the corner of Piper's room.
" What's going on Chris?" Piper asked. Chris didn't move and he didn't speak. The demon spoke in a raspy voice.
" Think you can protect her forever? Do you think you can stop me?" the demon asked.
" I know I can. I'll never let you hurt her," Chris said defiantly to the demon.
" Stay out of my way Chris. You're only making this harder for yourself," the demon said. He prepared an energy ball in his hand.
" The time has come, Chris. I will finish what I came to do," the demon said. He fired the energy ball at Piper just as Leo, Paige, and Phoebe orbed in. Chris dove in front of Piper, taking the energy ball in the chest. He fell to the floor. Not expecting Chris's sacrifice and love for his family, the demon began to howl and then his body went into violent convulsions. He exploded in a burst of flames.
" No!" Phoebe said.
" Chris!" Paige cried. " Leo, heal him!"
Leo just stood still. Chris's words replayed in his head.
" Let fate take over. Remember, if my future self dies, there's always time to change it. Let fate run it's course," Chris had said. He had seemed so serious.
" I can't," Leo said, determined to honor his son's wishes.
" What do you mean you can't?" Phoebe asked. She held Chris's head up as he was dying. Chris opened his eyes and looked at Leo.
" Thank you for finally trusting me," he said weakly to his father. His eyes closed and he was gone. Chris's body vanished.
" Oh God," Paige said quietly. " I can't believe it."
" A little help here!" Piper yelled from the bed. Phoebe and Paige snapped from their mourning temporarily to help their sister. Leo sat by her and took her hand.
" Alright, honey. You've got to push," Phoebe said. Piper pushed hard.
" Okay, one more push and you're done. One big push," Phoebe said. Piper breathed and pushed hard again. As it happened when Wyatt was born, a blue light shined down on the girls and Leo. Phoebe helped the baby out and cut the umbilical cord. After clearing the baby's mouth, Phoebe wrapped him in a blanket and gave him to Piper and Leo.
" Congratulations Mama," Phoebe said. " Wyatt's got a brother."
" Well, I guess there won't be a debate on what to name him," Piper said as she held her son. She smiled at Leo and then her sisters.
A few weeks later, Piper, Phoebe, Paige, Leo, Wyatt, baby Chris, and the spirit of Grams were gathered in the attic. Grams stood by the Book of Shadows, reading a spell.
" I call forth, from space and time. Matriarchs of the Halliwell line. Mothers, daughters, sisters, friends, our family spirit without end. To gather now in this sacred place, and help us bring this child to grace," Grams read. Behind her, spirits of the Halliwell matriarchs appeared. Grams turned to them and spoke.
" Another child has been born into our family, our legacy," she said. Piper handed baby Chris to Grams.
" We pledge to be with this child, this beautiful baby boy, always. Apart but never separate, free but never alone. He is one of us, and because of that, we will bless him with all the goodness that we are. Welcome to the family, Chris Wyatt Halliwell," Grams said. She hugged Chris to her and gave him a kiss on the cheek. " Blessed be."
" Blessed be," said the matriarchs.
" Blessed be," Piper and Leo said together.
" Blessed be," Phoebe and Paige said. Grams handed baby Chris to Leo and stepped back with the matriarchs.
" Take good care of both my great grandchildren," Grams said. She and the matriarchs disappeared.
" Come on. Let's go have lunch," Piper said.
" I'll be right there. I just need a minute," Leo said. " I'll bring the boys."
" Okay," Piper said. She and her sisters went downstairs. Leo held Chris for a minute.
" I'll never let anything happen to you again. I promise," he said to Chris. Despite being only a few weeks old, Chris seemed to understand Leo's words.
" Okay. Let's go eat lunch," Leo said, picking up Wyatt. He carried his two sons downstairs. As he left, the Triquetra on the Book of Shadows glowed for a minute and then returned to normal.
