I am so sorry this has taken me forever to get up. I haven't had much time to write and I have had a horrid case of writers block. So this is not the best chapter, and might be a tad bit confusion but if you have any questions please ask, and I shall surely answer them. Hopefully this case of writers block is over and a new chapter will be up within the next few days!

Thanks to all for the reviews! Please keep reviewing!

X3-Leo hasn't seen him yet because well it was like that morning when Leo learned that Gabe and family were his charges. Plus it is Leo. Leo can be kinda oblivious to certain things. I mean he didn't firgure out Chris was his son and that was like so crystal clear.

X-SJ-I am seriously considering having Gabe remember who he was before as Chris....so you will just have to wait and see.

The day dragged on slowly. Paige's husband, Perry returned with Chris and Wyatt around four or so. Immediately the boys ran upstairs to Wyatt's room to play a video game and a fight broke out over which one to play,

"Wyatt! Why do we ALWAYS have to play what YOU want?' Shouted at his younger brother.

"Because I am older and stronger. 'Sides you like to play those stupid games. You like to play those little kids games, they're no fun!" Wyatt sneered at his younger brother.

"DAD! Wyatt won't let me play what I want! Make him let me play what I want!" Chris whined to his father.

Leo walked in, "Do you two always have to fight? Can't you ever get along for once?" he said, clearly annoyed with his two young sons, "Wyatt, why don't you let your brother play what he wants..."

"But Dad..."

"But nothing...Just do it." Leo walked back down the stairs, to the Parlor, to join Phoebe, Paige and Perry who were now talking.

"....Piper thought she saw Chris...." Paige said, looking at her husband.

"What? That is impossible he is dead! Where did she see him?" he questioned, clearly confused by that which his wife was telling him.

"She went next door to meet the new neighbors, who just so happen to be Leo's new charges. And the husband, Gabe, came home. Piper saw him and is now claiming that Gabe is Chris." Phoebe chimed in.

So the four of them sat for the next hour discussing what had happened earlier that day. They were only interrupted when Phoebe's daughter came darting in the room.

"Mommy!" the little girl, about 3 years old, with long brown hair, and ice blue eyes, ran to Phoebe gave her a hug.

"Mel! How was your day at the zoo with daddy?" she asked her young daughter wiping the hair from.

"I got to see Simba! And I got to pet a baby lamb! And daddy bought me this!" The little girl held got a stuffed animal of an elephant.

Phoebe smiled at her young daughter, "Mel, it sounds like you had a wonderful day but why don't you go upstairs and play with Wyatt and Chris...."

The little girl smiled and took off running up the stairs, just as Phoebe's husband, Drew entered the room. He felt the tension in the room and saw the look on everyone's faces. "Hey there honey" Phoebe said upon seeing her husband.

"What is going on in here? Demon?" he asked as he bent down to kiss Phoebe's forehead.

"Piper saw Chris, adult Chris when she went over to the new neighbor's house," Phoebe stated, holding her husband's hand.

He stood there, knowing the implications of this all, "I thought we were pass this." He whispered, and then asked, "What are we going to do about this?"

Leo spoke up, "We aren't sure. That is what we were trying to figure out. We can't do anything tonight. The neighbors will be here in about an hour. Hopefully, Piper will be okay for that. She has been in the kitchen, cooking for almost three hours now. I am worried."

So there the five of them sat for the next hour. They sat mainly in silence. None where exactly sure what to say and none wanted to say what they were thinking. There was a creeping hope in the back of their minds, that just maybe Piper wasn't crazy and maybe Chris was really alive.
Meanwhile in the kitchen, Piper was running around cooking anything imaginable from cookies, to casseroles to steaks. She was fuming. Her own sisters, her own husband, would not believe her. They all thought she was crazy. "How, How could they?!" She muttered under her breathed, "They will see. Yes, they will see...."
Just past six o'clock a knock on the door aroused the adults sitting in the living room. Phoebe jumped up in shock, her stomach in butterflies over meeting this man Piper claimed to be Chris. "I got it!" she yelled and ran to the door before anyone else moved. She stopped at the door, taking a deep breath to compose herself, and then opened the door. Much to her disappointment, there was no man, but a young woman clearly pregnant and 2 small girls. The woman smiled at her and extended her hand to shake Phoebes. "Hi, I am Mari. I live next door. Piper invited us over for dinner."

"Oh yes! Please come in! I am Phoebe." She said leading Mari into the Parlor. When everyone looked up, expecting to see a man who looked much like Chris, and saw instead a young pregnant woman and her two young daughters, they were a bit shocked. Phoebe saw the look on her family's face and felt the confusion Mari was feeling and the fear the youngest was feeling. She immediately tried to end this by saying, "Well, Mari, meet the rest of the family. This is Paige and her husband Perry. That is my husband Drew," pointing toward the tall blonde man standing by the fireplace, "And finally, this is Leo." She said smiling toward her brother- in-law, "Everyone I want you to meet Mari and her daughters....." She said trailing off, realizing that she didn't know the girls names.

Before her mother could speak, Prue, stated very matter-of-factly to the room, "I am Prue and this is my sister Chrissy" grabbing her younger sister out from behind their mother where she had been hiding.

The whole room just exploded in laughter. Leo kneeled down so that he was eye level with the girls, and said to them, "Well Prue, and Chrissy, I am Leo. It is a pleasure meeting you two. How about I take you upstairs to play with the other children?" offering one of his hands to each of the girls. Prue almost immediately took his hand smiling. Chrissy however looked back to her mother, looking for approval. Her mother nodded her head, encouraging her young daughter and the little girl very slowly and cautiously took Leo's hand. They orbed up the stairs.
He orbed the two little girls up to where Wyatt, Chris and Mel were playing. Wyatt sat in front of a TV playing some sort of video game and Chris and Mel sat over in the corner coloring. "Wyatt, Chris, Melinda, I want you to meet Prue and Chrissy. The just moved in next door," Leo stated causing Wyatt to just roll his eyes and go back to playing his game and Chris and Melinda looked up and smiled.

Immediately, Prue let go of Leo's hand and ran over to Wyatt, "Hey! What are you playing? Can I play too?" she questioned as she plopped down next to Wyatt.

Leo and Chrissy stood there watching Prue quickly make friends with Wyatt. Then Leo led the little girl over to where Chris and Melinda sat coloring. Chrissy hung on to Leo's hand like her life depended on it. Leo knelt down besides the little girl and looked at her, "Chrissy, I want you to meet my son Chris and Phoebe's daughter, Melinda." He explained to her while Melinda looked up and smiled and so did Chris.

There was something about Chris that made Chrissy less scared; that as long as she was with him nothing bad would happen to her; that the monsters could not get her. So she smiled back. "Chrissy now I am going to leave you here with Chris and Melinda so you can color. Are you okay with that?" questioned Leo. Chrissy nodded and sat down next to Chris. Leo smiled and disappeared into a cloud of bright orbs.
He reappeared in the Parlor where Paige, Phoebe, Drew, Perry and Mariam were all talking. "Gabe should be over shorting with Warren..." Mariam stated smiling and upon seeing Leo reappear, "welcome back!"

"Thank-you..." but before he could finish there was another knock on the door, so he moved to answer the door. He opened the door to find a man with same color hair as Piper and had eyes that were hauntingly familiar, in the arms of this man, he held a baby boy, no more then a year old. Leo smiled, "Hey! You must be Gabe and this is your son Warren. It is a pleasure to finally meet you! I am Leo." And they shook hands, "why don't you come in? Your wife is in the living room with Paige, Phoebe and their husbands..." Leo said as he led them toward the Parlor.

Leo entered the room first with Gabe and Warren following close behind. "Guys, I want you to meet Gabe and Warren," Leo stated to the room and then stepped aside to reveal the man with a child in his arms.

"Oh my God! It can't be!" Paige whispered under her breath, bringing her hands to cover her mouth.

"It is him." Phoebe squeaked out and started to reach her hand out to touch his face but only stopped by the sound of everyone rushing toward Paige who had fallen when she blacked out for a second.

"I am fine, really. I am fine." Paige stated as everyone was checking to make sure she was fine. Paige made eye connect with her older sister, giving her a look like "go talk to Leo. Figure out what the hell is going on." Phoebe nodded.

"Umm Leo, can I talk to you in the Conservatory?" Phoebe whispered as she grabbed her brother-in-laws arm. Mari and Gabe exchanged looks like "What the hell is going on here? Why do theses people keep freaking out at the site of Gabe?"

Once they were in the Conservatory, Phoebe turned and looked at Leo, "What the hell is going on here? How can Chris still be alive? He died. How could he be alive?"

"Phoebe, please don't tell you are actually believing what Piper said...."

'What, Leo?! Gabe looks exactly like Chris did. He sounds exactly like him. Has the same color hair, eyes. Gabe is Chris, Leo!" Phoebe whispered though clearly upset with her brother-in-law.

"Gabe clearly is just a resemblance of Chris. Gabe can't be Chris. Chris died. That is what happened." Leo said shaking his head.

'Damn it. Denial.' Phoebe thought to herself, "Well Leo, will you at least do us sisters one thing, go and check with the Elders."

"If it will end this non-sense once and for all, fine." And with that Leo orbed out of the Manor up to Elderville.
Phoebe then went into the kitchen to get her younger sister a glass of water and to apologize to her older sister. She entered the kitchen to find her older sister cooking up a storm. Any food she could think of, Piper was making, or had made. 'This cannot be good. She must be super- mad at us.' Phoebe thought. "Piper" she said softly.

"What?" her sister snapped at her.

Phoebe went and hugged her sister and Piper fell into her arms, "I am so sorry Piper that I didn't believe you about Gabe being Chris. You were right."

Piper looked up at her sister in disbelief. Phoebe finally believed her. It was in this instant that all Piper's anger disappeared, "It is okay. I know if I were you I would have more then likely reacted the same way. So does this mean everyone else believes me now too?"

"Well not exactly. I think Leo is living in denial. I sent him up to the Elders to see if they knew anything...." Phoebe said to her told sister and embraced her once again.
When Leo arrived "up there" in Elderville, he immediately knew something was wrong. It was dark, and the Elder's were not walking about, but were gathered together. So Leo snuck in closer so he could hear the discussion; he hid behind a large white pillar.

"YOU BLUNDERING IDIOTS! HAVE YOU NO CLUE WHAT YOU HAVE DONE?!" A woman's voiced boomed, and lighting stuck, lighting the room where the Elders were gathered. Leo saw someone he had never seen before but had heard about before....A woman who wore a crown of twelve stars upon her head. The Great Mother Goddess. It is only to her that the Elders answer to.

"M'lady, what is that we have done to anger you so?" One of the senior Elder's asked.

"You directly disobeyed my orders! You made Gabriel Cadwell and his family, Leo Wyatt's charges!" Leo looked up in surprise, 'This has to do with me? With Gabe? Could Piper have been truly right?' he thought to himself.

Once again a senior Elder spoke up to the Great Goddess, "But my Holy Mother, we do not see why this is problem...."

"Of course you wouldn't!" She snapped back, "You do not know this, but Gabriel Cadwell was Chris Halliwell, well future Chris Halliwell. The boy, who came back from the future, stirred in me a great love and admiration. So when he died, a hero's death of course, I took that soul, which had no rightful place anymore, and gave Chris a new life; a new destiny. A life of happiness, one where he would no suffer, one where he would not know who he once was. He would have a new destiny. He would not remember who he once was and he was never to meet Chris' family. Hence why I commanded thee not to make Gabriel and his wife and children, Leo Wyatt's charges. But you stupid idiots never listen!"

Leo heard this, and sunk to the floor with the newfound revelation he had discovered. Chris was alive, well sort of. He had a new life, a new destiny. But the son that Leo lost so many years ago was alive. And at this Leo wept.
