INT. MANOR

PHOEBE is rushing down the manor stairs-on a mission. She had been ordered by Piper to find Chris and get his butt in gear. The Party at P3 was set to start in less than an hour and half and the ever punctual Piper did not want to be late.

PHEOBE: Chris!

CHRIS: In here!

His voice came from the living room.

Pheobe headed into the room to find Chris, laying on the couch, beer in hand, looking depressed. Strange, she thought, for a kid about to celebrate his first real birthday party with his family.

PHEOBE: What's with you?

Chris, beer still in hand, points to the TV.

CHRIS: This is a really sad movie.

Pheobe turns to the TV, then looks back at Chris with a confused look on her face.

PHOEBE: Terminator 2?

CHRIS: Yeah. Have you seen it?

PHEOBE: Yeah. Like ten years ago! Chris, how many of those have you had?

She points to the half empty beer in his hand.

CHRIS: (shrugging) Just the one.

He sighs and then turns his attention back to the TV.

CHRIS: I swear. It's like watching my life on film.

PHEOBE looks back at the TV and then back to Chris.

PHEOBE: O---Kay?

CHRIS: I'm serious!

PHEOBE: (humoring him) I can see that.

CHRIS: I mean, think about it. Sarah and John Connor---Could easily be--- Piper and Chris Halliwell.

Pheobe puts her hand over her mouth and has to turn away to avoid laughing out loud. Chris always had a tendency to be a bit overly dramatic- A trait he had no doubt inherited from her older sister. But he was so serious about this! And that only made it that much more difficult not to laugh at him. But she tried hard, as Chris continued.

CHRIS: Poor Sarah. I feel her pain.

PHEOBE: (nearly losing it) Oh, I know you do!

CHRIS: I mean, she's just like Me! Here she has this future knowledge about the fate of the world and NO ONE wants to listen to her! She is, risking her life to save her family and the WORLD and what thanks does she get for it??? (shaking his head) None! Nope! They lock her up in an insane asylum!

Pheobe rolls her eyes -laughing. Serious or not -Chris really gave overly dramatic a whole new meaning.

PHEOBE: (laughing) Ok, Chris---don't you think you're being just a little bit overly dramatic here. I mean, WE, believed you.

Off Chris's look---

PHEOBE: Eventually.

CHRIS: Yeah ---EVENTUALLY.

PHEOBE: And we don't think you're crazy.

CHRIS: Not Yet! But I gotta tell ya---- between the whole time warp, and my death, and resurrection, and the demons, and the elders!!! I AM MAN ON THE VERGE!!!

PHEOBE: OK!

She reaches over and grabs the remote from his other hand.

PHEOBE: You know what? We're just going to turn this movie off now. OK?

She clicks the TV off as Chris sits up in protest.

CHRIS: Hey! I was watching that!

PHEOBE: Oh, I know you were honey. But you know what? This movie has clearly sent you to the dark place. And that's not where we want to be on your birthday. Is it?

Chris sighs and hangs his head in defeat.

CHRIS: I guess not.

PHEOBE: (overly cheerful) Of course it's not! (under her breath) Because Piper will kick some ass if this party isn't just perfect!

CHRIS: What?

PHEOBE: Nothing!

She starts pulling him off the couch---

PHEOBE: Now get up and go take a shower. We are running late and you know how cranky your mother gets when we're late.

CHRIS: Alright! Alright! I'm going.

He starts to head out of the room and runs into Leo, who is walking in, already dressed and ready for the Party.

LEO: Chris! You haven't even showered yet? Come on! Let's go! Piper is going to have fit!

CHRIS: I'm going! Jeez!

He makes it to the bottom of the stairs and then turns back to Pheobe.

CHRIS: Hey Pheebs?

PHEOBE: Yeah?

CHRIS: So how does the movie end? Do Sarah and John ever stop the evil and get to live happily ever after?

Pheobe pauses and wonders whether or not she should tell Chris the truth. Finally, she simply smiles and replies---

PHEOBE: Absolutely!

Chris, seemingly satisfied, smiles and hurries off. Pheobe, watches as he disappears up the stairs, and then quickly turns to Leo.

PHEOBE: OK. Whatever you do---NEVER--- let that boy watch Terminator 3!

LEO: (confused) What? Why not?

PHEOBE: It's a longs story. Just trust me. You don't want to go there.

LATER AT P3

Chris's Party is in full swing. The club is packed-mostly with friends of the girls, since Chris doesn't really know anyone yet, and P3 regulars.

CHRIS is at the bar waiting for his drink as Piper approaches him from behind. She wraps her arms around his waist and rests her head on his back.

PIPER: Hey Cutie. Having fun?

Chris smiles as Piper releases her grip on him. Putting his arm around his mother he responds.

CHRIS: Yeah. Thanks for the party.

PIPER: Oh, you're welcome.

The bartender places a drink on the bar in front of Chris

CHRIS: (to the bartender) Thanks.

PIPER: Whatcha drinkin' there?

CHRIS: (taking a sip) I'm not sure. But it's good. Sip?

PIPER: Sure! Why not.

She takes the glass and takes a small sip and immediately starts coughing.

PIPER: Wow! That drinks got a little kick to it? Don't it? CHRIS: (taking the drink back) Told you it was good!

PIPER: Uh huh. We're not going to need Leo to orb you to the toilet again. Are we?

CHRIS: I don't know. (he looks around the club for Leo) But he's on call. Right?

Piper laughs.

PIPER: Of course. What are dad's for?

CHRIS: I'm just kiddin' ya. I'll be good. I promise.

PIPER: No! Don't be silly. You don't have to be good. It's your birthday! I want you to have a good time. Relax. Have fun. Be a kid for once God dammit! (giving him a gentle squeeze) God know's you deserve it!

Chris leans over and gives Piper a quick kiss on the cheek.

CHRIS: Thanks.

Piper brings her hand to her cheek. Extremely moved by Chris's gesture. That was the first time that he had ever shown her any type of affection as her son.

CHRIS: Oh, I almost forgot. I got something for you.

He reaches into his pocket and pulls out an envelope, handing it to Piper.

PIPER: For me? It's your birthday.

CHRIS: I know. But I wanted you to have it.

Piper takes the envelope and opens it up. She pulls out a card, decorated with a single heart. She looks at Chris who grins sheepishly and then opens the card to find a worn picture of herself, with Leo and Wyatt and in her arms, she holds a newborn baby-Chris.

CHRIS: Sorry the picture is so worn and ratty. But I've been kinda carrying it around in my pocket for the last 15 years. It's the only picture I had of all of us-together.

Piper is speechless- Her eyes brimming with tears.

PIPER: Thank you. It's perfect.

She reaches out and hugs her son.

CHRIS: You're welcome. Don't lose it. It's the only one I have.

PIPER: (laughing) Don't worry. I won't. Come on. Let's go see what everyone else is up to.

LATER

PIPER is seated with LEO, PHEOBE, PAIGE and RICHARD, watching happily as Chris dances the night away with a crowd of young girls on the dance floor. He's pretty buzzed, but not out of control. Just relaxed enough to let loose for once and enjoy himself. Piper is thrilled.

LEO: (to Piper) This party was a great idea Piper. Chris is having a great time.

PIPER: Yeah, he is. Isn't he?

PHEOBE: And he's quite the little chick magnet too! Look at my little nephew go.

PIPER: Yeah. That's going to take a little getting used to.

DARYLL and SHEILA make their way through the crowd to join the Halliwell's. Leo greets them.

LEO: Hey! You made it!

SHEILA: Yeah finally. Sorry we're late.

DARYLL: It was my fault. Got held up at work.

Sheila takes a seat next to Pheobe.

SHEILA: Hey! Look at the Birthday boy! He looks like he's having a good time.

DARYLL: (to Piper and Leo) Had a few drinks---has he?

PIPER: A few!

DARYLL: And we are sure he's legal-Right?

Sheila punches Daryll in the arm.

SHEILA: God Daryll! You are such a kill joy!

DARYLL: What? I'm just asking! (back to Piper and Leo) He is right?

PIPER thinks a moment before turning to Leo.

PIPER: I think so.

LEO: (shrugs) He did say he came from like twenty years in the future right?

PAIGE: (laughing) Yeah. That's what he SAID. He also said he was JUST our whitelighter.

PHEOBE: Hah! Watch the little shit be like 18!

RICHARD: Or younger. I mean, he's tall so he's got that advantage-he could pass for older than he actually is.

PIPER: Alright! Alright! Knock it off. He's not THAT young. He was engaged for cryin out loud!

PHEOBE: That doesn't mean anything. Kids do crazy things these day.

SHEILA: (joining in) Yeah and Chris is from the future!

Piper shakes her head, smiling. She knows they are all just trying to get a rise out of her. Their fun is interrupted by Chris who has now left the dance floor to join them-only he no longer seems all that happy. In fact, he's sulking as he takes a seat next to Paige.

PHEOBE: Oh! Chris! Why the long face?

CHRIS: OK, I'm going to take a wild shot in the dark here and guess that Linkin Park is NOT a place!

PAIGE, PHEOBE and RICHARD bust out laughing.

PHEOBE: Umm---Well, I'm sure it is SOMEWHERE. Why? What did you say?

CHRIS: (whining) Well, that girl in the REALLY low pants over there---

PAIGE: Uh huh---

CHRIS: She asked me if I liked Linkin Park. And I said---I've never been there. And I'm guessing by the way they all laughed at me, that that wasn't the right answer.

RICHARD laughs even louder as he buries his face in his arms on the table top. Paige punches him in the arm as she tries to stifle her own laughter. Chris was so adorably clueless some times.

PHEOBE: Ooh---honey. Ya know what? I think they were talking about the music.

CHRIS: Yeah! I figured that out! About ten seconds too late!

Piper trying not to laugh too, pulls Chris close. He rest his head on her shoulder-still sulking.

PIPER: Oh buddy! It's OK. Really. They are so drunk they won't even remember.

LEO: Yeah. Don't worry about it. If it make you feel any better. I've never heard of Linkin Park either.

DARYLL: Me either.

CHRIS: Thanks. It doesn't.

As a slow songs starts to play throughout the club, Sheila gets up.

SHEILA: Come on Chris! Come dance with me.

CHRIS: (still pouting) I don't wanna.

SHEILA: (pulling him by the arm) Oh come on! Don't be like that. Come on. I promise I won't laugh at you.

Reluctantly, Chris allows himself to be pulled to the dance floor by Sheila. The two start to dance and slowly, the smile reappears on Chris's face.

SHEILA: See! Don't you feel better now?

CHRIS: Yeah. I guess.

SHEILA: Ya know, Piper's right? Those girls are never going to remember this anyway. In fact---

She looks toward the bar where the girls are now congregated and glaring daggers at her as she dances with "their man".

SHEILA: (continuing) I'd say they've already moved on-to hating on me that is!

Chris turns toward the bar and then turns back to Sheila.

CHRIS: Yikes! If looks could kill!

SHEILA: (smiling) Uh huh!

Chris laughs and spins Sheila around playfully and then dips her. Suddenly, he feels a surge of panic and fear run through his body and pulls Sheila back up quickly. Sheila notices the look of horror on Chris face.

SHEILA: Chris? What's wrong?

CHRIS: Wyatt's in trouble.

SHEILA: (panicked) What?

Chris runs off through the crowd looking for a safe place to "orb" home, leaving Sheila standing there panicked and confused.

She pauses a moment, wondering what just happened and then rushes off to get Piper and Leo.

INT. MANOR - WYATT'S NURSERY

CHRIS orbs into the room to see two darkly clothed demons in his brother's room. One, stands over the lifeless body of the elf nanny, who was watching Wyatt that evening, the other, stands menacingly over Wyatt's crib, trying to penetrate the protective shield Wyatt has raised, as Wyatt screams in terror.

With a flick of his hands, Chris blows up the demon closest to his brother before turning his attention to the other. But instead of blowing this one up as well, he sends him flying across the room with one swing of his hand. The demon crashes into a changing table on the opposite wall. Chris then raises his hand, as he had done with Victor, and the demon, rises off the ground, gasping for air.

CHRIS: Who are you?

The demons eyes meet Chris's and Chris can almost sense fear in him.

PIPER, LEO, PAIGE and PHEOBE orb into the room just as the demon manages to shimmer out.

PIPER: Oh my god! Are you OK?

She rushes over to Wyatt and lifts him out of the crib as Leo approaches Chris, who is staring blankly at the spot where the demon just stood.

PIPER: Wyatt's OK. Chris? Are you alright?

Chris doesn't respond and Leo grabs his arm to get his attention.

LEO: CHRIS!

Chris blinks and turns his attention to his father.

LEO: Are you alright?

CHRIS: (quietly) No. No, I'm not.

DEMONS LAIR - CONTINUOUS

The demon (demon 1) , having just escaped from Chris is now standing before a large, faceless and seemingly more important demon (demon 2) who is dressed in a black cloak and standing ominously in front of a large alter.

DEMON 2: What do you mean there was another witch? A Charmed One?

DEMON 1: No my lord. This witch was more powerful than the Charmed Ones!

DEMON 2: (losing patience) IMPOSSIBLE! There is no one more powerful than the Charmed Ones, EXCEPT for the child! That is why we need him!

DEMON 1: With all do respect, my lord. This witch was and he protects the child.

DEMON 2: How can that be? The prophecy is clear. Only an heir of the Charmed Ones will possess powers that surpass their own.

DEMON 1: I do not know My Lord. I have never felt such power before.

DEMON 2: Then we must find this witch and find out who he is?

DEMON 1: Yes my lord. (pausing) Any idea how we do that?

DEMON 2: Yes. As a matter of fact, I do.

DEMON 2 raises his hand in the air and a vision of Darryll, Sheila and Richard, still sitting in the club, magically projects before him.

DEMON 2: I think it's time we wake up our SLEEPER.

THE END

Note: This is the end of "Welcome to the Family", however I will eventually continue this story-Just under a different title.

Oh, and sorry for the lack of originality on the demon names. I'm not very good when it comes to describing and naming demons. So for now, they are just Demon 1, Demon 2 etc.
