Baby 2

disclaimer: nope charmed is still not mine. damn

Chris looked away from Leo's face, the elder seemed lost for
words. once Leo was able to speak came the first question out
of the series Chris had expected.

"How do I know your not lying, Piper would have told me if I
fathered another child" Leo looked past Chris avoiding eye
contact. He knew it was true, but de didn't want to believe
that he was leaving two children without a father. What was
bothering him the most was that if Piper had things her way Leo
would never of even known he had another son. Chris felt as
though someone were playing a cruel joke at his expense, not
only did Leo hate him but also now he didn't believe his baby
self existed.

"Listen I know you don't want to believe me but it's true, in
less than two hours you're going to be a father again." Leo's
eyes widened.

"two hours, she's having the baby now!" Leo didn't give Chris a
chance to answer him and orbed to the manor. Chris looked out
onto the city from his place on the bridge and wondered what
would happen to him after the baby was born. He knew that only
one of him could have powers at one time. the girls had proven
that when they went back in time to escape a demon. The
question was if baby Chris has his powers will he be able to get
back, and what will he be returning to. Chris had been so deep
in thought that he didn't hear the loading of the dark lighters
arrow. Chris closed his eyes and prepared to orb, but the
tearing pain that shot through his chest stopped him. He looked
down at the area in question and saw an arrow sticking out of
his chest. Chris whimpered and collapsed. The Dark lighter who
had fired on him grabbed his hair and looked at his face, this
was not his target, he inspected the wound it had just missed
the heart and didn't look as if it pierced his lung. he would
be the perfect bait for the Elder.

Leo materialized in the living room and saw Phoebe running up
the stairs to Piper's room.

"Phoebe" The witch stopped and turned around.

"Leo what are you doing here"

"well Chris told me that there was something important that I
needed to know, and now I'm here. Is Piper really having a
baby"

"Chris!" Phoebe looked angry yet oddly not. He didn't answer.
Phoebe was about to call him again when she heard Piper yell for
her in the bedroom. Phoebe and Leo both ran up the stairs
almost colliding with one another. Piper has breathing hard
when they walked through the door, and she was not a happy
mommy.

"Leo...your..not. WHY ARE YOU HERE!" Piper gave him a look that
could easily put fear in a blind man. Phoebe looked at her big
sister and then to Leo.

"oh honey, Chris thought he needed to be here...kids" Phoebe
laughed a little then shut up. Leo suddenly became annoyed.

"I still don't understand why he had to tell me, not that I
didn't want to know."

"how can you still be so angry with him! he's your son for
crying out loud!" then she actually did cry out loud when she
felt another contraction.

"My what!" Piper smacked his arm

"focus coach" Leo let what she had said rest for the moment and
told Phoebe to prepare for the birth and call Paige. Phoebe ran
down the stairs and dialed Paige's cell phone number, but after
hearing it ring somewhere in the house she assumed Paige had
forgotten it. She called Chris again but he didn't answer.

*******

Chris opened his eyes trying to ignore the pain that seemed to
be coming for everywhere. someone was calling him. he needed
to get to the sisters. he needed to get help. he needed to
stay awake but all he wanted was to give in to the comforting
numbness that was calling to him. Chris could hear Paige calling
to him now, but it seemed so far away and interrupted, like when
two radio stations blend together. his mind tried harder to
focus on her. she was lost , and she seemed annoyed. He felt
strange like he was floating, and her voice became louder. he
closed his eyes and felt the pain drain completely from him.
When he opened his eyes again he was lying down on a sofa in the
manor. He sat up and wondered if it had been a weird dream, but
then noticed that he had become slightly transparent. Chris
jumped up and ran up to the attic, Paige was sitting on the
floor staring through her hands.

"Paige, what's going on" Paige jumped and looked at Chris.

"You can see me!?"

"yes am I not supposing to?" Paige ran up to her nephew and
hugged him.

"I didn't go through you, another plus" Chris looked at her
like she had lost her mind.

"ok, how did you get here." Chris knew how he had gotten here,
somehow his spirit had found his charge. He wondered if this
meant he was dead.

********

"Push!" Piper looked at Leo and spoke.

"I've got a better idea, how about I coach and you push" Leo
smiled and looked over at phoebe.

"just a little more honey" Piper pushed harder and was rewarded
with a soft cry that got louder once the baby had been
completely cleaned and handed to her. Baby Chris opened his
eyes and Piper saw the resemblance to older Chris he has Leo's
eyes, something she noticed after she had discovered his true
identity. she smiled and spoke softly

"Hello Chris"
********

A few miles away the older Chris was unconscious and dying in an
abandoned building.

(I'm not sure if this makes sense but Chris is still alive but
his spirit is with Paige.)
