A/N: Whew. This week was totally overloaded. You guys should know that I
have like 7 brothers and sisters so it's kinda hard to find time to write.
Plus I have exams. So now that the worst is over, meaning my history,
science and math 4th term exams, I only have next week full of final exams.
So I won't write next week, sorry, must get good grades. So please bear
with me. Thanks a lot for all the great reviews, they make me so happy!
Love you all!

Paige walked over to the book as if she were in a daze. She opened the book slowly and started flipping through it, looking for the truth spell. She wasn't really thinking anymore, all that she could feel was the incredible fear of not having a future; never accomplishing her dreams; to die just like her grandmother, her mother and the sister she never met. Never finding happiness or true love, never feeling the joy of carrying a child, the pain of giving breath, the difficulties and joys of raising children. She was terrified of dying, of never seeing her nephews growing up. Paige hands stopped flipping the pages as her eyes fell on the truth spell. She took a deep breath and copied it down on a piece of paper, preparing to go down to the living room and cast it on him in his sleep. 'That way he'll never know, and the spell will wear off sooner' she told herself. Her gut was telling her that she shouldn't, but her heart was telling her to find out the truth.

Chris woke up, feeling quite light headed. He struggled to untangle himself from the sheets and went over to the open window and looked outside, shivering. He didn't notice Paige walking up behind him, looking nervous.
o.o
Paige repetitively cursed herself for being so reckless, for casting a truth spell on a person who could reveal the entire future. 'What were you thinking?' she asked herself. Only she wasn't thinking, she was feeling. And she now had to get Chris out of the house, to make sure that he isn't forced to reveal any information to the others. She was still going to execute her plan and ask him a couple of questions. She still felt the same way as last night; the only difference was that she was thinking clearly. She sipped her coffee slowly and heard a groan from the living room. She saw Chris getting up and going to look out the window, hugging himself. She walked over to him, clutching her cup of coffee nervously.
"Chris, hey! How are you?" she asked cheerfully.
"I'm bad. Very bad." answered Chris truthfully, looking confused at the same time.
"Good! Me too!" exclaimed Paige.
"So, Chris, how about we go to the park and talk for a while? We haven't really gotten to know each other since you got here, and I thought a little whitelighter/charge bonding might be in order." said Paige very fast.
"Sure thing Aunt Paige." He said, clamping his hand over his mouth a second later. "I mean, Paige! Definitely not Aunt Paige, Aunt Paige!"
A small part of Chris' mind registered that he wasn't able to lie. Meanwhile, Paige looked shocked and shaken. Her mind was reeling and she said nothing, looking at Chris' face blankly.
"Y-you... ho-how??? You're my... my n-nephew?" she stammered.
"In the flesh. Piper and Leo's son." Said Chris, looking very much appalled at what he found himself saying.
"Oh my god." Paige finally managed to utter after processing this information for several minutes.
"Yeah... yeah... did I just tell you who I really am?" asked an aghast looking Chris.
"My nephew... Oh my god... You're my nephew. You're Piper and Leo's son." Paige could only sit and say the same things over and over, muttering "oh my gods" each time she looked at Chris.
"I'm Wyatt's little brother. I'm almost two years younger actually." said Chris conversationally. Only his eyes showed that he was trying to fight the spell.
Paige suddenly got up and pointed a reproachful finger at Chris. "You... you... you are my nephew! From the future! Chris, why didn't you tell us?"
"Because number one, it could affect the future in horrible ways, number two, you wouldn't have believed me, and three, you wouldn't have wanted me around."
Paige looked at Chris, reeling from all the different emotions she was feeling. Chris' eyes were showing that he was fighting the spell. He knew he was powerful enough to break the spell; he'd done it years ago.
"Of course we would've wanted you! Why would you think we wouldn't want you around? You're family!" Paige finally had the sense to say.
"Not according to Leo I'm not. Or wasn't." said Chris.
"Leo knew about this? And Phoebe too?" asked Paige.
"Yes." "Does Piper know about this?"
Chris opened his mouth, but seemed to finally be winning his fight against the spell. He struggled to stop the words from coming out.
"Mom can't know! Just don't tell mom, promise me you won't tell her, Paige! I can't let her know, because she's... going to d..." Chris finally managed to snap his mouth shut and glared at Paige as the spell wore off.
Paige was incredibly confused. She didn't know what she was thinking anymore. She felt sorry for Chris, for how he suffered these past months... They didn't trust him, they kicked him out once, they were mad at him for lying to them, Leo hit him... And she was shocked, and she was confused... She wasn't thinking straight. And now Chris was probably mad at her for casting the spell on him. And he remembered all of it because the spell didn't wear off after 24 hours; he forced himself out of it. Paige looked up at him regretfully.
"I'm sorry Chris... I didn't mean to... I'm sorry about casting the spell on you..." she said softly, looking up at him.
Chris' glare softened and he slumped back on the couch, not saying anything.
Paige sat next to him and put her hand on his shoulder, forcing him to look at her.
"You're my nephew?" she said, smiling.
"I'm your nephew." he said, smiling back.
"Awesome." she countered.

Piper woke up later than usual that morning. She yawned, went to the bathroom, washed her face and went to check up on Wyatt. She watched her baby, sleeping like an angel. She remembered Chris' look last night when she'd asked him if he was close to Wyatt. His eyes were full of repressed pain. She wondered how the two witches met each other. Magic school? No, she wouldn't send Wyatt there; she wanted him to have a normal life. Chris was half-whitelighter, half-witch, just like Paige, thought Piper, remembering what Chris had told them before he went through the portal with Bianca. Was there another couple consisting of a witch and a whitelighter? And if there was, what are the chances that they lived in San Francisco and sent their son to the same school as Wyatt? For a fleeting second, Piper wondered if Chris was perhaps Paige's son in the future. Then she brushed the thought away. Chris would've told them if he were related to them. Piper sighed and went downstairs. She heard Paige and Chris talking. She stopped abruptly when she heard Paige saying "You're family!" Piper blocked out the rest of their conversation. Her mind was reeling. She was right, Chris really was Paige's son! It was the only logical explanation! She had a nephew! And it would explain why he and Wyatt were close, why he came back to save him. It all made sense now. Piper wondered who his father was and when Chris was going to be born. It had to be sometimes soon. Piper smiled. She was so happy for Paige... She continued walking down the steps. Paige and Chris were silent now, sitting next to each other, their minds drifting away. They both looked up abruptly when Piper reached the landing.

A/N: Yay, no cliffie! :P Are ya'll happy? Well, that was hard to write, I didn't really know how to write Paige's reaction, I'm not completely satisfied with it but that's the final result, let's hope you guys enjoy it. This chapter feels a bit forced to me, because I didn't just write it naturally, it took a lot of thinking, I wasn't sure how I was going to write Chris in this chapter, while he was under the truth spell. Anyway, please review, and I'll be off to drink my kiwi and banana milkshake. Might help to get my creative juices flowing for Piper's reaction :P
