Disclaimer…is this necessary for each chapter? Sigh.

I don't own Charmed.

Right. So I'm glad you liked the last chapter! Thank you for reviewing and yes, I will be having Chris call his parents Mom and Dad very soon ;)

Because it's fun :) This chapter is slightly more emotional and the next couple chapters probably will be too. Okay as usual, I am having some doubts about this chapter. It is very descriptive I think. But I think it turned out good, and that's what matters, right. Right?!?!

Anyways enough of my ramblings! On with the story….

Piper jumped and noticed Leo.

Finally.

Her eyes widened and her jaw dropped.

"Oh...uh oh."

"Y-you're…p-pregnant?" Leo stammered. He looked at Chris who was inspecting his shoes, desperate to avoid eye contact. His face was a very interesting shade of red.

Leo's face was the exact same color.

"With y-y-you?!" He turned to Chris, who was still looking down.

"Yes. Chris is Wyatt's little brother," Piper answered for him.

Chris was grateful for the save and smiled quickly at his mother.

And then he returned to staring at his shoes.

"Leo…I understand how you feel. I only just found out!" Piper tried to reassure Leo.

"How long ago?"

"Just…" Piper began, "a few…weeks ago" she added weakly.

"Okay I am just trying to wrap my head around this. We get together for one night in the Ghost Plane; you are now pregnant with my child, who by the way is the whitelighter from the future who has been messing with us all year?" Leo had skated past shock straight to fury.

"Leo I know this is hard for you and it was probably wrong for me not to tell you, but Chris…" Piper began…

"Chris! Why wouldn't you want me to know that your…mother is pregnant! With you!" Leo shouted.

Chris finally looked up. Straight into Leo's eyes for the first time.

Leo could see where Chris got his intense green eyes from.

He got them from his father.

Leo…he was Chris' father!

It was so much for him to take in. He sat down on the sofa to steady him self. His head was spinning. Suddenly he was going to be a father to two sons, one of whom was staring at him. Leo studied Chris' face and tried to see what Chris was thinking based on his expression, but his face was blank. There was no emotion. Leo got worried; he wondered why Chris was showing no emotion at all. This was a pretty big deal, for everyone in the room.

"You want to know why I didn't want you know? I told Mom not to tell you because you weren't going to be there for me anyway! It's just like in my time! Your job is coming before your family, and I do take some of the blame for that. By coming back here, I helped you become an Elder earlier than in my timeline. Of course in my original time, you somehow managed to find time to see Mom, the sisters and Wyatt. But not me! I was just some nuisance. A mistake. You never wanted me and never bothered to try and hide it! But this time, you aren't even around for them,"

Chris took a deep breath. He never realized how much his father had hurt him. But seeing him here now, in a different time…all the anger had just shot out of him and he had almost no control over it. And there was more to come.

"Chris, I…"

"No Leo! Or should I say…Dad?" Leo inhaled sharply. That had stung him. His son hated him and he had no idea why. Well, that wasn't true. Chris was already deep into telling him why. The truth was he just couldn't believe it.

"Maybe Wyatt wasn't the only reason I came back here. Maybe I wanted to save our relationship too. Save our family. But it looks like I'm already too late! You are already becoming the absentee father from my future. And it's not just me this time you're abandoning, it's our whole family! It's like you don't even care. All that matters is your destiny to be an Elder. But that's just it! It wasn't your destiny. And you can't even admit that. You just decide to stay up there because Mom doesn't want to be with you any-"

"Chris that's not fair!" Piper interrupted. Even if she had told Leo she wanted a divorce, it was extremely cruel of Chris to throw that in his face and blame him for it. She looked over at Leo.

Leo was speechless.

"Fair? Fair? What's not fair is that I grew up for 14 years only being loved by one parent. You, mom."

Piper smiled slightly, glad that Chris was finally getting into the habit of calling her that. She had heard him say it a couple times today. Her smile quickly faded as she took in how much Chris was hurting. And how much it hurt Leo to hear what he had done in the future.

"You were the only one who loved me. Besides Aunt Phoebe and Paige. And Wyatt. Even Wyatt loved me Dad! He was evil and he never abandoned me like you did!"

Chris' eyes were brimming with white hot tears. It hurt him so much to relive all these memories, but yet it was a huge relief to get all his hurt, all his anger off his chest. It wasn't all from his father but his father was the one he was directing it at anyway. A few tears trickled down his face, but he roughly brushed them away. Leo was concerned about him. Even though he had only known he was Chris' father for about 15 minutes, he had already begun to care about him as his son.

To love him as his son.

Chris was crying now, he couldn't hold back the tears any longer. He had held back for far too long. Every missed birthday.

Every time his father had brushed him off to talk to another member of the family.

Every letter he got.

Every apology that seemed only half-hearted.

Every minute that he knew his father thought he was a mistake.

Every minute since his mother's funeral.

Every time Wyatt did an act of evil.

It had been far too long for Chris to be holding back, but the tears had finally come.

And he wasn't holding them back this time. He had been numb for far too long.

TBC….

Okay then! Please share you thoughts with me, I would appreciate it ever so much. Thanks for reading!
