Chapter 8
The following morning Piper and Phoebe sat in the kitchen talking while Piper made breakfast. Paige was back at Richard's doing God knew what and they figured that Isabelle had still been sleeping. "It's so weird knowing that my baby is upstairs right now." Phoebe said.
"It must be, I still can't believe that that was Wyatt who was attacking her last night. What kind of mother am I, if my son winds up trying to kill his own cousin?"
"Piper, you're an excellent mother, besides I think that whatever happens to Wyatt in the future happens after we are gone. I mean in my premonition he vanquished that demon."
Piper sighed, "What are we gonna do about Chris? If Izzy's right then Wyatt probably has him right now and is doing God knows what to him."
"Don't worry Piper, we'll figure something out." Just then Phoebe's cell phone rang. She looked at the caller id and moaned, "oh, it's Elise, she's probably wondering where I am." She said, "I don't wanna go to work today."
"Has he called yet?"
"No, I don't know what to do Piper. I don't wanna seek him out because I know he needs his space right now but at the same time, what if he never comes around? Maybe I'll just work from home today."

Isabelle sat up in the attic, thinking. How was she gonna tell Piper that her son was probably trying to kill her other son right now? It was impossible and on top of that how was she gonna make them believe her anyways? But she had to tell them, she needed their help to get him back. "It looks like you could use some advice." She heard. Isabelle turned around and saw the aunt she had never known in life standing before her. "Prue," was all she said.
"Don't worry I know who you are and why you're here." Prue said. "I've been watching you for some time now." Isabelle didn't know exactly what to say, she knew that she could summon the ghosts of deceased family members and she had tried it once herself in this very attic before Wyatt had changed it into a museum. But it hadn't worked then, she didn't even know why either, it just didn't.
"How did you..."
"Isabelle, don't worry about what they'll think when you tell them who Chris is. They need to know and they are gonna find out soon anyways."
"But what if they don't believe me?"
"They will. Remember the premonition Phoebe had? You never really did explain to them why Chris was there. Isabelle it's their time to know the truth about him."
"There has to be some other way, Chris didn't want them to know."
"Izzy, you know there isn't another way. Chris will understand that you're doing what you have to in order to keep him safe. If you don't get him back soon, he could very well turn as well."
"What?" she looked up frowning.
"Chris is prepared to kill himself to keep Wyatt from turning him but it might already be too late. You have to act now Isabelle. You have to tell them, you need to save your family."
"Thanks Prue." She said walking out of the attic. Prue's ghost stared after her a few moments before disappearing again. She did what she came to do. Little did Isabelle know that by saving Chris, she would be saving her entire family as well.

There was a knock on the door and Piper went to answer it, leaving Phoebe alone in the kitchen. Isabelle walked in and saw Phoebe sitting there, her face brightened at the sight of her daughter. "Isabelle! Come on, sit down." She said patting a seat next to her.
"Uh.where's Piper, we need to talk, now." She replied. Piper came back in the room with Jason following behind her. Phoebe's smile immediately disappeared at the sight of him. When her smile faded Isabelle looked behind her and saw Jason. 'Oh no.' she thought.
"Phoebe, we need to talk." He said seriously.
"Um.Isabelle I think we should leave them alone." Piper said to her.
"But Piper this is really important, we have to take care of this now. It's about Chris." She replied in protest.
"Isabelle, we can talk later, I'll be up in a little bit."
"But-"
"Come on." Piper said pulling her away.
When they had left the room, Jason walked over to the table where Phoebe sat and sat down opposite from her. He glanced back at the door and said, "She looks a lot like my mother, your cousin." He said, "But that's not what I came here to talk about."
Phoebe remained quiet; whatever Jason came here to say decided the fate about her and Isabelle's future with him. After some time he continued, "I did a lot of thinking last night Phoebe. I can't even begin to comprehend that you're...not like the rest of us." He said, "but that doesn't change how I feel about you. I do love you Phoebe and I always will." He finished. Phoebe looked up at him a little shocked at what he had just said.
"Does that mean.."
"Yes, it does. I'm not going anywhere." He answered. "Besides, our little baby needs both of us." He smiled and Phoebe quickly got up and ran around the table and hugged him.

Piper and Isabelle went upstairs to Wyatt's room. Isabelle stood there watching her aunt hold the toddler in her arms. "Phoebe and Jason need their time alone right now, you of all people should know that." Piper said to her.
Isabelle said nothing in response, she didn't want to have to say this twice or at all for that matter but she knew she had too. Finally she said, "I need to show you something upstairs in the attic."
"Ok." Piper said and they went upstairs. Seeing that she obviously had been busy the night before Piper asked, "what were you doing last night?" as she set Wyatt in his play pen.
"You said the only way you could think of to help Chris was to write a spell, but the only one powerful enough would need the blood of his family."
"Yeah.."
Just then Paige orbed into the attic, "Hi, I saw Jason was with Phoebe downstairs and I figured I should give them alone time."
"That's exactly what I said to Isabelle." Piper said looking back at her.
"Yeah and he couldn't have come at a worse time, Chris needs us, now." There was a note of urgency in her voice.
"Whoa, chill out girl, he'll be fine. We'll get him back."
"Not if we don't do this soon."
"Don't do what soon?" Phoebe asked entering the room all smiles.
"Things went well I take it?" Paige asked hopefully.
Phoebe grinned, "He said he's still needs a little time to sort this out but he's not going anywhere."
"Phoebe that's great!" Piper said happily.
"Guys!!!" Isabelle shouted. They all stopped talking and looked at her. "Did you forget about Chris or something? We need to get him back here and now before it's too late, and I know how."
"You found a way to bring Chris back?" Piper asked remembering what they had been talking about before Paige came.
"Last night, you said the only way to bring him back was a powerful spell that required a family bond. So I tried it, hoping that mine would be enough, but it's not. The potion needs more then just mine."
"Isabelle, what are you saying?" Paige asked frowning.
"I told you Chris had every right to be in Phoebe's premonition, what I didn't say was why." She looked at Piper, "Chris was there the day you all died because he's your son, Piper."
The following morning Piper and Phoebe sat in the kitchen talking while Piper made breakfast. Paige was back at Richard's doing God knew what and they figured that Isabelle had still been sleeping. "It's so weird knowing that my baby is upstairs right now." Phoebe said.
