The next afternoon, Piper walked into P3 to find Chris sitting at one of the tables lost in thought.

"Chris? What are you doing here?" Piper asked coming down the stairs.

Chris jumped, not realizing someone was there.

"Oh I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you," Piper said cautiously. She had heard Chris blow up at Leo last night and didn't want to get into an argument with him too.

"No problem. I was just thinking." Chris said quietly.

Piper sat down at the table too and took Chris' hand. Chris instinctively wanted to pull away, but Piper gripped it tighter.

"Don't pull away from me Chris," Chris looked down. "Don't push us away just when we're getting close." Piper said gently.

"I just don't want to go through this again," Chris looked at Piper.

"Honey, I'm not going to die now" Piper said tearfully.

"You don't get it!" Chris pulled out of Piper's grasp and stood up.

"You just don't understand…" Chris whispered to nobody in particular.

"I lost my mother too!" Piper said angrily.

Chris stopped in his tracks. How could he be so insensitive?

"Oh my God, I am so sorry," He said sitting down again, his eyes wide with sadness.

Piper couldn't help but forgive him, he looked too cute.

"I know sweetheart. You know, once your Aunt Phoebe, Aunt Prue and I went back in time too. We saw our Mom too. But we wanted to spend time with her. I wanted to know her so bad Chris. Why don't you feel the same way?" Piper cried. Tears rolled down her cheeks as she grasped her son's hand again. This time she wouldn't let him pull away.

Silence.

"You're right." Chris said finally. "As always you're right. I'm sorry Mom," Chris gave Piper a weak smile. "Do you forgive me?"

Piper grinned widely.

"Of course! I just want to be close to you Chris!" Piper reached over the table and squeezed Chris tight.

Chris stood up so he could hug his mom properly.

"It's been so long," Chris whispered.

"Since what? You've hugged me before," Piper said.

"Nah, I know. I just haven't apologized in a long time. Brings back some memories," Chris laughed.

"You are going to be a handful, aren't you?" Piper teased.

"Yep. Me and Wyatt…we were…energetic? But you'll learn to love us," Chris joked.

"I already have." Piper whispered.

Just then, an energy ball hit Piper in the back and sent both Piper and Chris flying across the room.

TBC….
