Chapter 3
"What?" Leo demanded.
Chris just stared hard at the floor, he didn't know what to say, it had taken all of his efforts to tell him.
"You're kidding right?" But by the serious looks on both Piper's and Chris' faces he realised they weren't kidding. "Oh my god you're serious."
"I know this is a lot to handle, I only just found out a couple of hours ago!" Piper said as she put her hand on Leo's shoulder, trying to console him, maybe calm him down a little. Chris continued to stare at the floor, he could feel Leo's eyes on him, but he couldn't make himself look at him.
"This can't be real! It can't be real!" Leo mumbled to himself, he was clearly in shock. Chris' heart sank in his chest, it was starting to look like in both the future and the past Leo was never going to accept him as his son, but Chris still didn't know what to do, so he just kept staring at that one spot on the floor.
"Chris you're gonna burn a hole in the floor if you keep staring at it!" Piper said sarcastically trying to lighten the mood a little, but it didn't really have much effect.
Leo took a deep breath, and tried to let everything sink in, he looked at Chris and saw so much of Piper in him, weird he'd never noticed it before. He took a few steps towards Chris and saw his body tense up. Suddenly guilt washed over Leo, all the times he hadn't believed Chris, thought he was evil. Leo's mouth went dry, what could he possibly say to make up for it? Instead he said the only thing he could.
"I'm sorry...son."
Chris looked up at his father, and decided something with himself, he had always wanted a better relationship with his father, and the only way to get it was to give Leo the benefit of the doubt, maybe he won't make the same mistakes, maybe things could be better. With his mind set Chris gave Leo a half smile.
"Can we come in already? We're dying out here!" Called Phoebe from the other room. Piper laughed.
"Yeah, you can come in." Phoebe came rushing in and hugged Leo, Paige shortly followed.
"We're one big happy family again?" Paige asked.
"Yes we are." Leo said, still looking at his son, then something dawned on him. "Where's Wyatt?"
"At Sheila's, I had stuff to do and couldn't watch him." Piper turned to Chris. "Could you go get your...um...brother for me?" She wanted to talk to Leo alone, and was hoping she wasn't making that to obvious.
"Yeah." Chris replied as he orbed out. As soon as he had gone Piper took Leo's arm and dragged him out of the kitchen, giving her sisters a look that meant 'you two stay in here.'
"Leo, I understand if you have to stay up there..." She said as her eyes darted to the ceiling. "But I just want you to remember that your family needs you, and...I miss you." Leo pulled Piper close.
"I'm not going anywhere."
When they pulled apart, Leo looked deep into Piper's eyes, he missed her so much, and he couldn't resist any longer so he leaned forward and kissed her. Neither of them even heard Chris orb in.
"Hi...yuk...gross, did not want to see that." Piper and Leo broke apart to see Chris standing there with Wyatt in his arms and the baby bag over his shoulder, and Chris was obviously embarrassed.
"I'll just leave you two to it." He said as he quickly left the room. Piper laughed
"I think we embarrassed him."
"It was worth it." Leo said as he kissed her again.
Meanwhile.....
"You ok?" Paige asked as Chris walked in the kitchen with Wyatt.
"Yeah." He said trying to cover his red face. "Ugh." Chris shivered.
Phoebe arched an eyebrow.
"What happened?"
"Nothing...just it's still kinda gross seeing your parent make out!"
"What?" Paige and Phoebe both asked in unison.
"Ohh, does this mean they're back together?" Phoebe asked bobbing up and down on her seat.
"I dunno." Chris shrugged.
"Men! You can never get a straight answer out of them." Phoebe said jokingly. But after a few minutes she said. "Oh I wanna know." As she started to walk out of the kitchen, but Paige grabbed her round the waist and pushed her into a chair.
"Let them have they're privacy for petes sake."
"Ok, Ok!" Phoebe said putting her hands up defensively.
Phoebe didn't have to wait long, 5 minutes later, Piper walked in without Leo.
"Where's Leo?"
"The elders called him."
Phoebe couldn't hold it in any longer so she spat it out.
"Are you two back together?"
"I don't know yet, to soon to tell. Ok where was I...oh yes dinner. Chris could you set the table please?"
"Sure." He replied as he handed Wyatt to Paige.
It wasn't until they had just finished dinner when Leo returned, with a worried expression on his face.
"Something wrong?" Piper asked for all of them.
"Yeah, you know that darklighter you vanquished?"
"Yeah I blew him up, well kinda, my future-self did, and not the first time it's happened either." Piper said matter-of-factly.
"Ok." Leo said clearly confused but decided to let it pass. "Anyway, it was no ordinary darklighter, you are all lucky to be alive."
"What was it then?"
"It was a Ledger, the highest level of darklighters."
"The opposite of an elder?" Paige asked.
"Yeah sort of, and it's poison is far more deadly. The other elders think this was a direct attack, and that we all need to be on the look out."
"Well we better check the book!" Phoebe said as she, Paige and Leo disappeared up the stairs.
"It's fine I'll just tidy up myself, it's not like I made dinner or anything." Piper said sarcastically.
"I'll help...mom!" Chris said and Piper smiled sweetly at him.
"Mom huh? I could get used to this." She piled her left arm with plates and headed off towards the kitchen, but just as she was about to turn the corner, and disappear from view she turned to Chris.
"You go on upstairs I'll be ok." She said as she waved her free arm at him. But something happened neither of them expected. Chris went flying backwards, crashed into the wall, and slumped to the floor. Piper dropped the plates in shock and they clattered to the floor, breaking at her feet.
"Oops." Escaped her mouth.
"What the hell was that for?" Chris asked as he tenderly rubbed the back of his head.
"I don't know!" Paige, Phoebe and Leo came running down the stairs to see what was going on.
"What happened?" Leo asked as he looked between his wife and son, both with clear looks of shock on their faces.
"I don't know, I kinda waved my arm at Chris...and...I...um...accidentally..."
"Split it out woman." Paige urged.
"I accidentally sent him flying."
"Oh." All three replied.
"But I didn't mean to, and how did I? Telekinesis isn't my power?"
"Yeah but it's mine." Chris replied as he pushed himself to his feet.
"Oh that's just great, now I have to learn to control your powers too? Being pregnant sucks!" Piper said as she sighed.
"It's ok honey, you got through it, when you were pregnant with Wyatt." Leo said, Piper smiled in agreement, Leo then turned to Chris. "You ok?"
"Yea..." But before he could finish another darklighter appeared.
Everyone turned towards the darklighter and Piper blew him up, but no one realised until it was to late, he was merely a distraction and that another had appeared behind Piper, grabbing her.
"Oh Crap!" She said as the darklighter disappeared before anyone could react, taking Piper with him.

What will happen next now Pipers been taken?? You'll just have to wait and see!
