A/N: Thanks for all the reviews! You guys are awesome! Sadly, I think we are reaching the end of this story. In fact, I have written the final chapter. But I think there are at least 2 more chapters after this one before I am done. And there were be a sequel!
Leo came in to check on Chris half an hour later. Piper was still watching him sleep.
"He's not a child Piper," Leo said teasingly.
"Well he's my little boy. What are you doing here anyway?" Piper grinned.
"I came to…check on him…" Leo admitted.
"He…said 'I love you' to me finally." Piper said with a small smile.
"He did?" Leo asked eagerly. He knew how much that meant to Piper.
"Except he was sleeping, but I think he heard me somehow."
"What were you saying?"
"I just wanted him to talk to me, I wanted to help. I want to help. I just don't know how." Piper whispered.
"We're going to get through this. I promise." Leo said comfortingly. He reached out and hugged Piper. Piper melted into his embrace.
"Then…I told him I loved him. He's my child. He's our child." Piper gazed adoringly at the sleeping young man next to her.
"I know…can you believe it?" Leo grinned.
"It's so…weird." Piper laughed.
"Well your life hasn't been normal much has it?"
"No it hasn't. But I don't mean weird in a bad way, it's nice. I'm proud of how he is going to grow up. He is so loyal, and smart, and handsome." Piper said lovingly.
"And just a little neurotic." Leo teased.
"Yeah!" Piper laughed.
"So did you find out about that demon who attacked at P3?" Leo whispered.
"Paige was on it."
"Where's Phoebe?"
"She's with Wyatt. You know, it's so strange that the demon shimmered away as soon as you guys got there."
"Well he probably realized he was outnumbered and you guys weren't off guard anymore," Leo said reasonably.
"That makes sense. I guess I'm just worried."
"Don't worry. Paige can vanquish him."
"It's not that. I'm worried about Chris," Piper said, sitting down again next to her son on the bed. "He seemed really affected by that attack."
"I guess it reminded him of when…"
"But he's seen us vanquish demons before and he was okay. Hell, he's vanquished demons before." Piper looked worried.
Suddenly a thought popped into Leo's head.
"You don't think…" He said slowly.
"It can't be could it?" Piper looked at Chris, who was still fast asleep.
"The demon…"
"He's the demon who killed me in the future?!?" Piper yelled.
Chris woke up just then, startled by Piper's yell.
TBC...
Hmm...could be...?
I would greatly appreciate it if you reviewed. Any suggestions are also welcome. Stay tuned!
