"Piper, Leo's blissfully ignorant Up There. Do you really want to
ruin that for him?" Chris asked. He didn't tell Piper that the real reason
he didn't want to talk to Leo was because he was still mad at him for never
being there. He was always there for Piper, Wyatt, and half the world, but
never had time to do even the littlest thing with Chris.
"'Piper'? What happened to 'mom'?" Piper asked. "And no, I don't really want to talk to Leo, but—" She was cut off by Chris.
"There! See, you don't want to talk to him, I don't want to talk to him, case closed," said Chris.
"But," continued Piper, "he's your father and he has a right to know."
"Fine," said Chris, resigning himself. He leaned against the wall while Piper called Leo.
"Leo!" yelled Piper, "Leo get down here now!" A swirl of blue and white lights appeared and formed Leo.
"Piper, Chris, blessed be," he said. He then saw Piper's pregnant form and all of his Elder calm was shattered. He grabbed Chris by the collar and threw him to the ground. "Is this why you wanted me gone?!" he yelled at Chris, "So you could sleep with my wife!" He pulled back his fist to punch Chris. Chris didn't do anything except shield his face. Piper tried to pull Leo off of Chris, but she was having a difficult time because of her swollen stomach.
"Leo! Leo stop!" Piper yelled desperately. Paige had heard the commotion down stairs and came running into the living room.
"What's—"she stopped, seeing Leo and Chris. By that time Leo had thrown a few punches. "Leo! What are you doing? Get off of him!" She ran over to help Piper. Chris finally telekinetically threw Leo off of him.
"Sorry, didn't want to do that, dad," Chris said sarcastically.
"What are you talking about?" Leo asked, breathless and confused.
"I'm talking about that," he said, he pointed to Piper's stomach. "Now, if you're done, I'm going to leave. Or would you like me to stick around so you can throw a few more punches?" He got no response from Leo so he orbed out.
"Chris!" Piper yelled, "Chris come back!" but Chris was gone.
Leo wanted some answers, so he asked, "What is going on?" Piper was exhausted so she sat down on the couch and motioned to Paige to explain.
"Well, it happened on the night you two got stuck on the Ghostly Plain. Phoebe and I already knew who he really was, and he was trying to get us to help because he was in danger of not existing at all. Congratulations, you're going to be a father again!" Paige finished. A sudden wave of guilt washed over Leo, all the times he had accused Chris of being evil, and all the times he hadn't trusted him, but then a thought occurred to Leo.
"How do you know he's not lying?" Leo asked.
"Because we saw him fading out of existence and you yourself saw him on the Ghostly Plain," Paige said.
Leo turned to Piper and said, "Why didn't you tell me I had another son?" He sat down next to Piper and placed a hand on her stomach. She looked annoyed but that only made him smile.
"Because I knew it was hard enough for you to leave one son, let alone two," Piper said.
"Piper, he's still our son and I had a right to know."
"I know, that's why I called you down here."
"I can't believe I attacked my own son."
"You didn't know."
"That's no excuse," said Leo, "I bet he hates me now." Piper winced. "What?"
"Well, it's just that he wasn't too eager to talk to you in the first place," she said. Paige felt as though she were intruding on a private moment so she left to go back to the attic. She was only semi-surprised to see Chris with his nose in the Book of Shadows.
"Chris, I know that you're from the future, and none of your friends have even been born yet, well except Bianca." Chris clenched his jaw at the mention of his fiancé, but he didn't say anything. Paige immediately caught her mistake and said, "Oh Chris, I'm sorry." Chris showed no further reaction and Paige tried to move past her mistake, but she hated the hurt look in her nephew's eyes. "Umm...You need to get out more, and I don't mean just to P3."
"Well I'm sorry that I am too busy trying to save my family, and, oh say, the rest of the world from the future I know, to party," Chris said.
"The world can wait. You're driving yourself to an early grave, and guess what, you can't save the world to well of you are dead. So take a break from the super hero act and come partying with me tonight." Paige said.
"There's no way that I would ever be pathetic enough to go clubbing with my aunt," Chris said, he smiled a very rare smile.
"But I'm your cool aunt right?"
"The coolest," he said laughing.
"So you'll go?"
"I don't know, what if whatever turns Wyatt shows up tonight?" he said.
"How do you know that we haven't already vanquished whatever evil turns Wyatt?" Paige asked.
"Because the moment you do I will be pulled back to the future because I would have had no reason to go back to the past in the first place," Chris explains.
"Oh, right," she said, actually understanding what he had just said. "Well, when we do stop Wyatt from turning, will we remember everything you did here?"
"I think so, I mean I don't know why you wouldn't."
"Good, because I don't want to have to wait to find out that you grow up to be a great guy." She gave him a big hug and a kiss on the cheek.
"Aunt Paige!" he said, rubbing his cheek.
"Oh quit being a big baby. Now, are you going with me tonight or not?"
"Yeah fine, just don't kiss me or hug me again."
"Fine, and hey, maybe we will find you a couple of friends." She said.
"Yeah, and I go back to the future and they are all twenty years older than me."
"Right, that could be a problem. But you aren't planning on going back any time soon, are you?"
"How am I supposed to know?" Chris said.
"Okay fine. What are you looking for anyway? Sending us on more demon hunts?"
"No, not that I could since Piper is pregnant with me," he said, telekinetically flipping through the Book.
"Yeah, you're right, wouldn't want to loose little Chris and big Chris all at the same time, now would we?" she said.
"Wouldn't want to loose Piper either."
"Why do you call her 'Piper'? You called her 'mom' once, and that was it."
"Sorry, I just haven't called her 'mom' in about eight years, and I got used to calling her 'Piper'"
"Good excuse, but she really would like it if you called her 'mom.' Wyatt knows the word, but he doesn't say it that often, you know?" Paige said.
"I'll try."
"Good, now want to come back downstairs with me? I think Piper and Leo are done talking."
"Thanks, but no," he said, rubbing his jaw, "I don't feel like talking to Leo right now."
"If you're going to call Piper 'mom', why not call Leo 'dad'?"
"Because he was never much of a dad to me," Chris said, then orbed out.
"'Piper'? What happened to 'mom'?" Piper asked. "And no, I don't really want to talk to Leo, but—" She was cut off by Chris.
"There! See, you don't want to talk to him, I don't want to talk to him, case closed," said Chris.
"But," continued Piper, "he's your father and he has a right to know."
