A/N: Thanks to those who reviewed! And a special note to psychokitty3: You don't have to worry, "The Event" won't be Wyatt killing Piper. That would be too sad!

Aha finally, Piper and Chris will talk about… "The Event"

"They have to explain this whole trial basis thing," Leo said the next morning as he and Piper drank coffee.

There was a thud outside the doorway, but Piper and Leo just waved it away as their imaginations playing tricks on them.

"Why are you even on probation? Being a whitelighter is a step down isn't it? I mean, they know you can do it already," Piper said as she began to clear the table.

Leo stood up and helped her. "Who knows with them?" he said lightly.

Piper laughed.

"Elder bashing is fun. I've missed it," Piper joked with a big smile on her face.

"Haha. Okay, I've got to go now. They're calling me." Leo said, leaning in to kiss Piper.

He orbed out mid-kiss.

"Yep, things are definitely going back to normal!"

Chris ambled into the kitchen, dressed in a sweatshirt and jeans.

"Hey there. You know it's only like 75 degrees outside," Piper said as she poured Chris some coffee.

"Oh. I'm cold. So did Dad-" Chris sneezed and orbed out. Then he returned a second later, "-come back?" Chris went to the cabinet.

Piper turned around to face him.

"Yeah he's 'Up There' learning about his trial basis as a whitelighter," she said casually.

"Jeez Mom, don't you have any Captain Crunch? Crunch berries? Chris asked, settling for Cocoa Puffs.

"Chris didn't you hear what I said?"

"Yeah. I also heard you and Dad earlier. I guess you didn't hear me trip outside the doorway when I heard the news," Chris laughed.

"So I did hear you, you little sneak! And also, Captain Crunch? What are you, like twelve?" Piper teased.

"Hey Captain Crunch is awesome!" said Paige as she wandered into the kitchen. "Are those my Cocoa Puffs you're eating?" she said in a mock stern voice.

"Yes. And see, Aunt Paige knows good food, Mom." Chris teased. He sneezed and orbed out again in a split second. Once again, nobody noticed.

"Bless you," Paige began to read the newspaper.

Chris put his cereal bowl into the sink and had a small coughing fit.

"You okay?"

"Yeah…I think I have a cold. No biggie." Chris replied, pouring some orange juice. He sneezed and orbed again.

This time Piper noticed.

"Gah! You-you orbed!" Piper exclaimed.

"Did I? It must be from my-" He sneezed again, "cold," he finished.

"Leo!" Piper called.

Leo orbed in a saw Chris sniffling and his eyes watery.

"Aww buddy, you are sick aren't you?" Leo said gently.

Chris sneezed and orbed again.

"Oh!"

"Can you heal him?"

"Yeah sure," Leo said feeling Chris' forehead. A golden glow came from his hands.

Chris took a deep breath and smiled.

"Thanks," He said, running a hand through his hair.

"Chris. Haircut. Now." Piper said suddenly. She grabbed Chris' hand and dragged him out of the kitchen.

"Bye Leo!" Piper called over her shoulder.

"Bye Dad!"

"Don't mind me!" Paige shouted in mock anger. "No respect," she muttured.

"Bye Paige!" Piper shouted as she grabbed her keys.

"Bye Aunt Paige!" Chris said quickly as he was dragged out the door. His mom could be surprisingly strong when she wanted to.

Once they were closing the door, they could hear Phoebe running down the stairs screaming "OH CRAP!"

"What's up with her?" Chris asked as they got into Piper's car.

"She forgot to set her alarm. Again."

"Hey do you want me to drive? Since you're you know…"

"For god's sake Chris I am not even showing yet!"

"Okay, okay! I'm sorry" Chris laughed and threw up his hands.

"Oh don't you look handsome!" Phoebe squealed when they got home an hour later.

"Feebs don't you have work?"

"Relax, Piper. I'm working from home. I was so late anyway. Speaking of which, I better get back to it. Chris you look great,"

"Thanks," Chris blushed a little as Phoebe hurried off.

"So Chris are you a handyman like your dad?" Piper asked, heading into the kitchen.

"What?"

Piper looked a little embarrassed.

"Can you fix the sink?"

"That I can do"

"Thanks!" Piper smiled and ruffled Chris' considerably shorter hair.

"I can't believe how short you made me cut it," Chris said as he pulled out the toolbox from under the sink.

He began to work.

"You used to cut our hair," Chris said fondly, remembering good times.

He was absently fixing the sink.

"But after 'The Event' Grandpa took us to the barber"

"The…Event?"

"The Event."

"When I died?"

"I can't talk about it!"

"Look I know I died Chris! But…"

"Mom, I thought you would understand better than anybody! I don't want to talk about it! Please…it's just not fair. You were always there for me. Even when Wyatt began to do evil things. You stood by me and helped me. You tried to help Wyatt too! You never stopped loving us. Dad was never there. It's was only you. For fourteen years. Then one day, you were gone. I was all alone. Grandpa was great, but he wasn't you!" Chris wiped away tears.

"Honey…"

"No! I can't do this. Don't you see? Don't you get it? This happened to you too!"

Piper inhaled sharply.

"Oh..I'm so sorry. That was just wrong for me to say." Chris bit his lip.

"No, it's okay Chris. I shouldn't have pushed you like that."

"I want to tell you everything, Mom. Maybe someday I will,"

"I hope so sweetie," Piper said softly, pulling Chris into a hug.
