A/N: Okay this is a short chapter before Phoebe talks to Chris. The next chapter will be up ASAP! :)


Leo was the first to wake up that morning and as he came down the stairs he could see Chris outside in chair. He went and stood behind Chris and ruffled his hair, making it stick up in places.

"Hey Chris."

"Hey." Chris replied, not turning around.

"What are you doing out here?"

"Sitting…thinking."

Leo sat down next to Chris and finally got a good look at his son. He obviously didn't sleep at all last night. His eyes had dark circles under them and he just looked tired.

"Did you sleep at all?"

"Nope."

"Look, I promise you that today we will try to figure out what vanquishing that demon meant."

"Aunt Phoebe is supposed to talk to me about something today," Chris said absently, staring up towards the heavens.

"Really? Do you know what she wants to tell you?"

"Not really. Mom was telling me about this one time they went to the past…but then she said Aunt Phoebe could probably tell it better."

"Oh," Leo said, realizing.

Chris didn't notice though. He was still looking towards the sky.

Leo looked up too, thinking there was something up there that Chris was staring at.

"What are we looking at?" Leo asked after awhile.

"I'm just wondering…" Chris began thoughtfully.

"Wondering what?"

"Never mind, Dad. It's nothing." Chris said, standing up.

They headed inside, Leo's arms around Chris' shoulders.


"Okay, 4 cups is enough!" Leo said an hour and a half later.

"Yeah, I feel awake now!" Chris laughed, finishing the cup of coffee.

"Hey guys!" Piper said, coming into the kitchen. "You're up early," She noticed.

"Hey Mom want some coffee?!?" Chris asked.

Piper raised her eyebrows at Chris' perkiness and turned to Leo.

"Leo, what did you feed our child?"

"He drank four cups of coffee."

"Jeez, Chris." Piper teased, giving Chris a quick hug.

"Oh relax, I made more." Chris said, smiling and rolling his eyes.

Piper poured herself a cup.

"Mmm…this is good Chris!" She said, surprised.

"Why thank you. Where is Aunt Phoebe?"

"On my way to work!" Phoebe squealed, running into the kitchen. She grabbed some coffee in a travel mug and a muffin. Then she was off out the door.

"She is always late," Piper laughed.

"Didn't she want to tell me something?" Chris asked.

"Yeah, after work. So no going off somewhere today."

"Okay."

"And no demon hunting."

"Okay, mommy." Chris said, smiling.

"Hmm…the Elders are calling," Leo said suddenly, looking up. He gave Piper a quick kiss and patted Chris' shoulder before orbing out.

"Do you want me to make you breakfast Mom?"

"No don't be silly…"

"Oh come on I want to!"

"Fine. Surprise me."

Chris jumped up and made Piper an omelet, some toast and brought her more coffee.

"This is great Chris. I didn't know you could cook so well! What is this recipe?"

"I just improvised. Like you do," Chris smiled and kissed Piper on the cheek.

"Thanks honey. Where are you going?"

"To play with Wyatt." Chris said, taking Wyatt out of his highchair and going into the living room.

Piper smiled and sipped her coffee. It was nice to distract Chris from the future. She could hear Wyatt's giggles and Chris' laughter floating in from the living room.

It was a nice sound.

TBC…
