Chapter 9
The future..
"You can't hide Chris!" Morian shouted as he randomly threw energy balls in any direction he wished. Chris was trying to come up with a plan of attack. He used his astral form to distract him. "Hey behind ya!" Morian turned throwing another energy ball at the astral form of Chris.
"Nice use of your powers there Chris, but this can't last much longer. I will find you."
"How did you do it? How did you turn Wyatt?" Chris shouted out.
Morian smiled to himself, "Now, Chris why would I tell you that?"
In the present..
"What?" Piper said in shock.
"Chris told us his last name was Perry. He's not Piper's son, there's no way!" Paige said.
Isabelle smiled, 'Perry' she thought. "He told his last name was Perry huh? And I'm guessing he told you that Paige died the day the Titans came huh? If that was the case haven't you ever wondered why the Angel of Death never came for her again? Paige wasn't fated to die that day. If she was, Death would've kept coming for her. He never loses right? Prue learned that lesson the hard way."
"You leave Prue out of this!" Piper said, "What right do you have to come in here and tell us that Chris is my son?"
"Think about it, Piper!!! Chris can touch the book, and last time I checked only members of our family can touch the book."
"Leo can touch the book." Paige pointed out.
"Leo is a part of this family and he's an Elder on top of that, of course he can touch the book. Chris is mortal, not a whitelighter or an Elder, unlike Leo, he's half and half just like Paige is."
"That doesn't necessarily mean anything." Piper said.
"Isabelle's right." Phoebe finally said, "Unlike Chris, I get something off of her. I know she isn't lying and on top of that it makes sense. In my premonition, I didn't know who that boy was until Isabelle told us, he was younger then Chris is now. Why else would Chris have been there if he isn't family?"
"Phoebe, you can't be serious. It's impossible!! Leo and I aren't even together anymore!"
"You aren't together right now. That doesn't mean you won't be. He still loves you Piper. He always will."
"Wyatt used to put his force field up around Chris; he wouldn't do that if Chris was his brother!"
Isabelle walked over to the play pen and Wyatt's force field went up. "If I'm his cousin, which you all know is true, then why does his force field still go up? Piper, I'm not lying about any of this."
"I can't do this. First Wyatt turns evil and now you're trying to tell me that Chris is my son? No, no I can't do this." She said walking out of the attic.
"Piper-" Isabelle began.
"No, no honey just let her alone for a little bit. She needs to figure this out." Phoebe said.
"We need to get Chris back, now. We don't have time for this."
"We still need to make the potion," Paige said, "we can leave Piper alone while we do that."
"I thought you didn't believe me either." Isabelle said looking back at her.
"I don't know what to believe, but I don't have any reason not to trust you. So it's worth a shot, if you think that it'll get Chris back. Besides, you are my future niece, and it's nice knowing I wasn't supposed to die that day." She answered smiling. Isabelle walked over to her and gave her a hug.
The future..
Morian was getting closer, Chris could tell by the sound of his voice. He had no choice but to fight back. He ran from his hiding spot and Morian threw an energy ball at him. Chris mentally pushed the energy ball back at Morian. He then used his telekinesis to throw him aside as he ran past him. But then Wyatt appeared in front of him blocking his path. "Stop fighting me little brother, just accept it. Accept what is supposed to happen and who you are supposed to be." He said.
Then Morian threw another energy ball right at Chris. It hit knocking him out cold. Wyatt began chanting a spell in ancient Latin and when he finished he looked at Morian. Smiling he said, "Now we just need to wait for Isabelle." Things were finally going his way. "Chris will bring her home, and he won't even know it until it's too late."
The present..
Leo orbed into the nursery where Piper was standing looking at the picture of her and Leo with Wyatt as a newborn. He came up behind her and asked, "What's wrong?"
Without turning around Piper told Leo exactly what Isabelle had told them earlier, that Chris was their future son. Finally she turned around, looked at him and said, "How is that possible Leo? We aren't even together anymore."
He remained quiet, looking into her eyes. He saw all the sadness she had inside when she said that last part. He loved her so much. Leo pulled her close into a tight hug and the two of them just stood there in one another's arms as Piper began to cry. After a while, Leo quietly whispered, "I love you Piper."
A few more minutes passed until Leo noticed Paige come up to the doorway. Leo pulled away from Piper and she looked toward the doorway, wiping her eyes. "The potion is ready." Paige said, "it only needs one more thing, our blood."
Upstairs in the attic, the girls, Isabelle, and Leo all stood around the potion. Each one of them cut their hand, let a few drops of blood fall into the potion, then passed the knife on, ending with Isabelle. She picked up the spell again and read:
"Future member of the Halliwell line,
Come to me through space and time
Blood to blood I summon thee
Come back to finish what you started,
By changing a future that appears so black."
