"With the face you're giving me, do I have a choice? Well, you asked for
it... I'm your nephew." said Chris.
Phoebe looked at Chris in shock.
o.o
"You're my WHAT?" she shrieked, getting up quickly.
"Your –um –your nephew? As in your sister's son?"
"B-b-but... how? When? What?" asked a completely lost and shocked Phoebe.
"Think about it, Phoebe –it makes perfect sense –why Chris came back to save Wyatt, why he's half witch half whitelighter, why-"said Leo.
"B-b-b-b-b-but... Why didn't you tell us you were Wyatt?" she asked Chris.
"Huh? Heh. I'm not Wyatt. I'm Chris. I'm Wyatt's little brother." said Chris very slowly, as if he were talking to a stupid person.
Phoebe laughed and shook her head. "This is crazy."
Chris smiled. "If I knew seeing your reactions to my real identity was going to be this funny I would've done it ages ago."
"Why didn't you tell us?" asked Phoebe in an accusing tone. "And is Leo your father? Wait –I think I already know the answer to that." she said, rubbing her temples.
"I didn't tell you because the less you know about the future, the better. I was supposed to come here, save Wyatt and go back. It wasn't supposed to take this long. You weren't supposed to get to know me very well actually. And you most certainly weren't supposed to know I'm your nephew. Damn... I'm messing up the future." grumbled Chris.
Phoebe seemed to finally be accepting the fact that she has another nephew and her expression changed as she looked at Chris strangely.
"What?" he asked.
"You're my nephew!" she squealed, jumping over to give him a hug.
Chris returned the hug eagerly, remembering the last time he hugged his aunt, right before she died.
Phoebe pulled away from the hug and looked at Chris through shining eyes. She then turned to Leo and asked: "Is it just me, or does he have my lips? No, no, no, no –wait, I know. He has my hair! Nah, that's Piper. Okay, okay –you have my cheerfulness! Or not... Ok, spill it, I just KNOW you got some kind of power from me. Can you levitate?"
Chris shook his head in mock disbelief. "I got your ears."
o.o
"Well, who else knows about this? I'm going to kill Paige if she knew about this all this time. When did you find out, Leo?" asked Phoebe.
"This morning, actually. Chris let it slip... kind of."
"And thus irreversibly changed the future. Who knows what future I'll even go back to." whined Chris.
"You didn't answer my question. Do Piper and Paige know about this?"
"No. And I'm not sure we should tell them." Said Chris.
"Yeah, but Chris, you know Leo and I can't keep such a big secret from them! Oh alright," she rolled her eyes and the pointed look Leo gave her. "I'm the one who can't keep the secret. I really can't. And even if I tried, Piper will see right through it!" she exclaimed.
"Do something. Help me out here. The future's in my hands." said Chris, turning to Leo.
"What do you want me to say? She's right, Piper will see right through us, she knows me and Phoebe too well."
"Agh. What am I supposed to do? You know what, don't answer that. I know what I'll do. I'll just use a potion on both of you to make you forget you ever found out about this! And you're not going to stop me, because it's for the greater good, seeing how we don't know if the consequences of me telling you about this are good or bad!" said Chris.
Leo got up abruptly. "You are NOT making me forget that you're my son. Come on Chris, that's not the way to solve things!"
"And besides Chris, if you make us forget, how are you planning on getting conceived?"
Leo turned an interesting shade of red while Chris seemed to be taking Phoebe's question very seriously.
"I don't know. I'll find a way. The most important thing is that you don't know about me. That way nothing bad I don't know about will happen." he said.
"Well, making us forget isn't an option. Do you really think you can fight me AND your dad?"
"Okay, okay, I surrender!" cried Chris.
"Does that mean I get to tell Paige?" squealed Phoebe.
Chris glared at her.
"This is so messed up." Leo finally spoke up.
"Look, Chris, I think you should've just told us when you got here who you really are. It would have prevented so many problems. Don't you see? When you were hiding things from us, nothing was going your way; we didn't trust you –now that we know, everything's going to be fine."
Chris tried to find any reason to avoid telling his mom. He couldn't, he just couldn't go through seeing her expression. He knew she'd try to get close to him, get to know him... He couldn't go through it. He couldn't get close to her. Her knowing who he is will only make things harder. He couldn't get distracted. She'd get distracted. Everything would be completely messed up.
Leo put his hand on Chris' shoulder.
"Look, Chris, whatever it is you're thinking, whatever it is, I promise you I won't let anything bad happen to your future."
Chris looked into his dad's eyes. 'But you don't know what it is you have to stop... you don't know how much of it is out of your control.' he thought but didn't say.
"Okay, just... let me figure it out, ok? Can you pretend for just a little while, Phoebe?
"I'm telling you, I'm a BAD liar. But I can try." she added quickly at Leo's warning glare.
o.o
When Phoebe, Chris and Leo headed back downstairs they found Paige watching Toy Story 2 on the Disney channel.
"What? Nothing else is on!" she exclaimed at their amused expressions.
"I don't get the movies from this decade. The special effects are so bad! And the quality! Wait till you see the movies 20 years from now. Now that's proper film making!" said Chris.
Phoebe rolled her eyes. "Show off... So, Paige, did you call Piper? Where is she?"
"Oh... Piper? Piper's... Piper's nowhere really!" said Paige a little too quickly, trying to avoid looking at Leo.
"What do you mean nowhere?" asked a clueless Chris. "Is she okay?"
"Oh, no honey, she's just busy. Probably at the club or something." covered Phoebe.
'Or on a date.' thought Leo sadly.
"Oh. Okay. Well, anyway, I think I'll go to sleep now." said Chris, yawning and preparing to orb.
Phoebe clutched him. "But shouldn't you sleep here now, I mean, now that... now that... you know... now that we know how uncomfortable it is at the club!" said Phoebe, looking at Leo pointedly.
"Oh, sure, I'll set up the couch for you, Chris!" said Leo quickly, catching Phoebe's point.
"Do I have a choice?" asked Chris under his breath.
Paige just looked very confused.
"First Leo and Chris, and now Phoebe? Is it just me or is something going on?"
"It's just you." said all three of them.
"Well, I'm off to bed." said Phoebe, looking away uncomfortably.
Paige raised her eyebrows but didn't ask any further questions. Instead she said good night and went upstairs.
o.o
A/N: Okay, so since I've been short of ideas lately, I just wrote this little chapter to try to get some ideas and I did. So now I have a plot for how Paige and Piper will find out. So don't worry guys, I'll try to make it good! Thanks for reading and please review!
