Disclaimer: I am sad to report that I do not own charmed. The only thing
in this fanfic that I own is the daughter and the story plot.
~*Author's note: Thank you to everybody who has been reviewing.Please
note that from this chapter on, the "PG" rating will go into effect. 
Well, most of the story has been leading up to this chapter. I'm not
saying that this will be the last. Please do note, that I am back in
school, so I might not update as much, but none the less, I will update
as soon as possible. So here it is, the next chapter.

I have fixed this chapter because I accidently posted it twice. 
 
Chapter 5: A Promise Kept
Chris and Piper both took a seat on Piper's bed. 
"So, what would you like to know?" Chris asked.
"I want to know what happens to me. I want to know why you keep pushing
me away every time I try to get to know you and get close to you."
"Basically, what grandpa and I talked about?"
" basically,yeah."
Chris gets a serious look on his face before he says his next words.
Recalling the "event" was something he didn't really want to do because
it broke his heart, it scarred him for life.
 "It happened when I was 14 years old. You and I were in your car coming
home from the store. You were throwing a surprise birthday party for
Aunt Paige, it was a few days after her birthday, but you wanted to wait
until the weekend so everybody could stay late. It was supposed to be
great, you had all of this stuff planned out, dad was even supposed to
be there." 
Chris feels a tear coming down his cheek as he recalls the "event". He
tries to hold back the tears, but fails. 
"We were just going along and we came up on a stop light. It was red for
only a minute and then it turned green. We were coming across when."
Chris begins to cry harder, barely making out his words. He pauses and
takes a deep breath before continuing. 
"This drunk driver ran the red light and hit us on the drivers side of
the car"
"Oh God, Chris, sweetie." Piper pulls him into a motherly hug. Chris
just stays there, sobbing like he did that day of the wreck. After
gathering himself, Chris breaks the hug and continues.
"I hit my head on the dash board and had to get stitches in my leg"
He pulls up his left pant leg to show Piper the scar.
"You were still alive when they took you to the hospital. After I got my
stitches and everything, they said I could see you, they had you
stabilized, and they said everything was going to be ok. I went into
your room, and sat by your bed. I kept telling you that you were going
to be ok and that you were going to make it. You were still unconscious
so you couldn't hear me, but I thought I would give it a shot anyways. I
stayed there for about 3 hours, but you never woke up. Aunt Paige and
Aunt Phoebe came to stay with you too. All of a sudden all these alarms
and stuff started going off. I didn't know what was happing. All of
these doctors came rushing in. One of them told a nurse to go get a
Crash Cart, and asked me, Aunt Paige and Aunt Phoebe to step outside the
room."
 Chris began to cry again. "After a few minutes one of the doctors came
out and said that you were gone." With this Chris began to cry harder
than he had ever cried before. This broke Piper's heart, to hear her son
say those words, with that much emotion. She pulled him into another hug
and this time she wouldn't let go. She wanted to hold him there forever.
She hated the fact that she died so violently and left her son alone.
"Chris, I promise you that will not happen. I promise I'll be there when
you go back to the future, I promise."
"Mom."
"No Chris, no buts. I will not let that happen, understand?"
"Yes, and mom."
"Yes?"
"I love you."
"I love you, too." Piper said as she began to cry along with Chris. 
After they gather themselves, they broke their hug. "I guess we had
better go down stairs before they come up to check on us." Piper said.
"Yeah, but um, do you think you could not say anything to dad or my
Aunts, I told them I would tell them when I was ready, and it was hard
enough telling you. I don't think I could do that twice in one day."
"Of course, sweetie. Now about your dad.are you two getting along now?"
"Slowly but surely mom, slowly but surely." He said pulling her into
another hug.

~Downstairs~Kitchen
"I hope those two are ok up there." Paige said going over to sit at the
table.
"I'm sure they are. They'll be down shortly." Phoebe said, joining her.
"Yeah, and remember, Chris will come to us when he is ready, so don't
press him or Piper on what they talked about up there." Leo chimed in.
He was at the counter, getting a cup of coffee.
"I know." Phoebe said. "Well, I have a column due, so if you would
excuse me, I'm going up to my room." With that said Phoebe left the
kitchen and headed upstairs to her room.
"So, did you and Chris finally have that talk you have been wanting?"
Paige asked.
"Yes, as a matter of fact we did." Leo answered going over to join Paige
at the table. "Chris is a good kid, you just need to be patient with
him."
"Yeah, I know. Let's face it, he is a Halliwell."
"Yep, you have a point. I just hope now I can be the father Chris needs
in the future."
"Did someone say my name?" Chris chimed in as he and Piper entered the
room.
"There you two are, I was beginning to worry." Paige said as she got up
from her seat so Piper could sit down.
"What did I tell ya, they worry." Piper said sarcastically.
"Well you pregnant with my nephew, what else did you expect?"
They all laugh. Piper goes and sits down. She, Leo and Paige begin a
conversation about the latest in the news while Chris just looks on.
Lost in his thoughts Chris hopes that this is what his family would be
like in the future, a happy family. No demons, no fighting, no evil. As
Chris looked on, he felt a tear roll his cheek. Remembering all they
good times he had as a child, and all the new ones he was going to have,
now that he has changed the future, for the better.
 
So, this concludes this chapter. I hope you all will review. I hope to
update soon. Due to the fact that I might not update as quickly, I'm
going to give you sneek peek into future chapters.
