Chapter 9
Manor-Early Night
Grams is watching Wyatt and Chris. She shook her head. "Those two are kind of like you three when you were younger,"she said.
Piper smiled. "I know,"she replied. "It's just that their bond is much stronger than our's was."
"Too true." Grams watched as Chris giggled at Wyatt who made a face at Chris. "That bond will get them through a lot if Wyatt doesn't turn evil anymore."
Piper shook her head. "I don't think he will anymore."
Grams shrugged. "When you, Phoebe, and Prue were younger, demons tried to take you to turn you evil. Just because the threat of one person is over, it doesn't mean that there are more to come."
"I know that Grams. I just don't like to think what would happen if it wasn't Wyatt anymore, but Chris."
"Because of the fact that he is stronger?"
Piper nodded. "Wyatt is so powerful and from what Chris said, he terrorized the world. If that would happen to Chris,"
"It would be just as bad Piper. Chris would lose his innocence and ultimately his powers. You don't have to worry. I think that most demons will focus on Wyatt more. You still have to watch carefully."
Piper laughed. "I always have."
"I know dear. You know I don't understand the whole Leo-Chris thing yet."
Piper shrugged. "I really don't either,"she answered. "They made up and that's all that matters."
"I think that some of that anger will always stay with Chris though."
Piper frowned. "I don't really think so,"she responded slowly. "He seems so much happier now-a-days. None of us have an idea. He doesn't tell us where he goes."
"He isn't that warmed up to you guys. Remember you were dead in his future. He only got 14 years."
"I know,"Piper said.
"He'll warm up before he has to go back to his time."
"Yeah."
Chris and Wyatt laughed. Piper and Grams watched them again and smiled.
"You know,"Piper said slowly,"I think that you have taken more notice of Chris than Wyatt."
Grams shrugged. "I was surprised that you had a boy, but I love him all the same. I was more prepared this time."
"Oh."
The two sat in silence watching Chris and Wyatt look at each other and talk in their own little way.
Chapter 10
Manor-Afternoon
Leo and Grams are watching Chris, who is sleeping, and Wyatt, who is playing in the room.
"We haven't talked for a while,"Grams said.
Leo nodded. "I know,"he answered,"since Wyatt's Wiccaning."
"I'd just like to say that you had better love Chris the same way that you do Wyatt,"Grams said.
"I'm going to!"Leo said.
Grams shrugged. "I was the second child too,"she responded slowly. "My dad promised to do things with me. He would always spend time with my older brother. I felt alone so I know how Chris feels."
"I do too Penny,"Leo said.
"Do you?" Grams asked. "Do you know what it's like to have your mom tell you that your father loves, but he just doesn't have the time too?"
"No I don't,"Leo replied quietly.
"I do though. I know his pain. I've felt it for half of my life. He's lucky that he gets help."
"Yeah I guess so."
Grams was silent for a few minutes. "You crushed Piper when you left you know."
"I know that."
"Then why did you leave?"Grams asked.
"It was my destiny,"Leo answered dumbly.
Grams started to laugh, and couldn't stop. She stopped when she saw Leo give her a look. "I'm sorry Leo,"she said. "I know that's crap and you know that it is too. You loved Piper. You two were soulmates. And then you say you had to leave because it was your destiny!" Grams laughed again. "That's a very huge lie."
"It was Penny."
"Then why did you still stay?"Grams asked.
Leo couldn't answer that. "I still loved her,"he replied quietly.
Grams nodded. "We are getting somewhere now,"she said. "I hope that you two will work this out. Wyatt and Chris can't have two divorced parents."
"It'll take time."
"It always does."
Piper came into the room. She looked at Wyatt who for once wasn't looking at Chris. "P3 was a big mess today,"she said sitting down. "I had to book 5 bands for this week and go through all the financial records."
"I'm sorry dear,"Grams said.
"I'll be glad to just be at home for a while,"Piper said.
Just then a demon shimmered in. He was silent just standing there. Everyone turned to him. Grams and Piper were about to use their powers, but he turned into Chris.
"Sorry,"he said sheepisly. "I forgot I was still looking like that."
"What was that?"Piper asked amazed.
"I can change my appearance,"he replied.
"I can tell that,"Piper replied still shocked.
"She means what was that with the demon thing?"Leo asked.
Chris shrugged and looked at the ground. "I can change into demons too,"he said.
"You can take their powers too?"Grams asked.
"I've just learned how to do that,"Chris said.
"From who?"Leo asked.
"I'd rather not say right now."
"I shouldn't have even asked."
"So Paige and Phoebe are at work?"
Grams nodded. "The Wiccaning is going to start after they come home."
"Great. I have something to attend to. See you in an hour." Chris orbed.
"I wonder who is helping him with his powers,"Leo said.
"He'll tell us,"Piper said.
Baby Chris woke up and started to cry. Piper started to move, but Grams walked over. "Let me,"she said. She calmed Chris down, who went to sleep again.
Piper smiled.
Grams looked at her. "I've gotta make up with Chris. Of course Wyatt matters too." She patted Wyatt on the head.
So the three went to watching Wyatt play with his toys.
