Author's Note: Just a small fic that popped into my mind. There will most
likely not be a second chapter.
Summary: AU: The sisters and Leo still don't know who Chris really is. But one afternoon Chris accidentally reveals to his dad his true identity. Just a short sweet fic.
o.o
Chris was flipping through the book of shadows, looking for another possible threat that could be the demon turning Wyatt. Leo was putting Wyatt to sleep in his crib.
"Found anything?" asked Leo.
"No... you know, the number of times I've flipped through that thing, I think I might know it by heart soon. This is hopeless!" whined Chris.
"Give it a rest, Chris. You haven't stopped searching since you got here. If it's really your destiny to save Wyatt, maybe you should just wait for the answer to come to you."
"Easy for you to say, you're not the one who grew up with him." blurted Chris, two seconds before realizing his mistake. He clamped a hand over his mouth.
"Growing up with him? You grew up with Wyatt?" asked Leo suspiciously.
"In a manner of speaking... Hey, wanna go see if there's anything to eat? I'm starving." said Chris swiftly.
"Don't change the subject, we just had lunch half an hour ago. Well, how come you grew up with Wyatt? What happened to your parents? Didn't you live with them?" inquired Leo.
"Uh... they sort of... couldn't take care of me. Died when I was a baby. You... you were my mom's whitelighter, after she died you took me in." lied Chris, a little too quickly.
"I'm sorry... Not to be insensitive or anything, but why did I take you in? Not that I don't like having you around, but it doesn't seem like the kind of thing I would do in that kind of situation and I doubt Piper would've allowed it."
"Erm... yeah, that's a long story. Listen, Leo, I'm really hungry so, uh, I think I'll just go and see if Piper left anything." said Chris before orbing out.
Leo looked after Chris pensively for a couple of seconds before something seemed to click. He orbed after Chris quickly.
He found Chris sitting on the sofa, staring dreamily ahead.
Chris was thinking about the future. 'You should be more careful you dolt, you almost gave yourself away." He scolded himself. 'If dad would've found out...' Then, looking up, he saw the man he was just thinking about and said without thinking "Dad, what –I mean- dad, Wyatt's dad, Wyatt needs you, I can hear him crying!" Chris almost yelled in panic, jumping to his feet and trying very hard not to slap himself for his stupidity.
Leo looked at him strangely for several moments and Chris could only stand there and pray that Leo wasn't putting two and two together.
Both men just looked at each other for what seemed like an eternity, before Leo broke the silence, falling to the chair heavily.
"Chris... you're... you're my son, aren't you?" Leo asked weakly, looking at Chris.
"Son? Huh? Me? Leo, man, where'd you get that idea?" Chris snickered, trying not to show his panic. "Do I look anything like you or mom?" he asked, laughing, before his eyes grew wide in realization and he smacked his forehead. He fell heavily on the sofa, raising both hands to the heavens and murmuring: "Way to go Chris... just... way to go..." he sighed.
"It's true then? You're my son... and Piper's... Good heavens..." Leo said, looking as shocked as a man can be.
Chris was still smacking himself repeatedly over his head and murmuring insults at himself.
"Chris! Chris, can you hear me?" asked Leo.
Chris looked at his dad.
"Well, would you believe me if I said I wasn't you son?" he asked.
"Not after putting two and two together I won't... dear god... when were you going to tell us Chris? You could've at least told me..."
"Yeah right, and risk changing the future? I don't think so."
Leo stared at Chris, open mouthed, trying to absorb what he'd just discovered. This twenty-something year old sitting in front of him was his son... who hasn't even been conceived yet... how could he have missed the signs?
"I'm sorry you had to find out this way. I'll leave if you want me to –" said Chris before orbing out. But Leo caught him before he could leave and he fell back onto the couch.
"Are you kidding? You just dropped this... this HUGE bombshell on me –Chris, you're my son!" "Thanks for reminding me..." said Chris sarcastically. He was looking at Leo as though he expected him to reject him right there and then. But Leo only smiled and clapped his hand on Chris' shoulder. He was smiling toothily.
"When are you going to be born? Is Chris your real name? Why'd we name you Chris? Am I a good dad? Do –"
"Woah, woah, woah, easy with the questions dad... you have no idea how good it feels to finally be able to call you that... that was the hardest thing, not calling you dad or Piper mom... As for when I'm going to be born... okay this is highly disturbing and I don't want to have to be the one who says this but –ahem... before I'm born... I sort of have to be... not that... well... just... I have to be conceived, don't I? How're you going to make that happen with you and mom broken up and all?" he asked sheepishly.
Leo just stared at his son in shock and stuttered: "Very funny Chris... you are grounded young man."
Chris started laughing and Leo joined in contagiously.

A/N: Well, did ya'll like that? I know it doesn't deal with the whole issue of Chris hating Leo but I was bored and I had nothing better to do than write this so please do me a favor and REVIEW! Thank you
