Chris fell down on his knees. He couldn't believe it. It had been a success.

' Really?' asked a small voice in his head 'You killed your own brother. Your own flesh and blood. How can that be a success? You aren't any better than he was!'

He shook his head in an almost desperate measure trying to get rid of this disturbing voice.

Suddenly he felt gentle hands touching his face. Stroking his hair. He looked away from corpse of his once beloved brother and starred into his sisters deep brown eyes.

The voice in his ears slowed down and her words finally reached his senses.

"Chris. Are you all right?" She looked worried and Chris wanted nothing more than to ease her sorrows and worries. He wanted to tell her that everything was okay now. That they would be fine. But he couldn't

He looked back to the corpse and then to his hands which were covered with his brothers blood. He didn't remember making any contact with his body. Didn't remember where the blood came from.

Chris suddenly felt the need to throw up. But he know that he couldn't how any weaknesses at the moment. The battle wasn't over yet.

He stood up and faced the crown. Ralok still by his side.

"Is there anyone of you who wants to continue my brothers path?"

Nobody answered him. They were still starring at him with a mix of horror and admiration.

That didn't surprise him.

From their point of view he just had killed the most powerful being ever.

Little did they know that he just borrowed this powers from his ancestors.

Balfour stepped forward but his mother hold him back.

"What are you doing?" she hissed.

"What do you think, mother? This I our opportunity. He is weakened from his former fight. That means now or never. He will destroy us. And you know it. He will never agree to this marriage and we need it."

Jade looked into her sons eyes and she knew that he was right.

Still she couldn't get rid of the feeling that this would take a bad end.

Her fingers glided from his arm as he went to face Chris.

Casper Rydel inhaled deeply a he watched his lover. Every single nerve in his body cried out.

His gaze wondered between Chris and Balfour. He saw them talking and then yelling. Balfour throw an energy ball at Chris but he bend down and shoot a thunder strike right into Balfour.

Casper heard with horror Balfour´s last screams.

His anger and range were taking control as he ran towards Chris. Casper pulled his sword and swung towards Chris.

With a flick of his wrist he sent Casper flying into the next wall.

And flow an energy ball on his move less body.

"Is there anyone else who wants to die tonight?"

Chris observed the crowd carefully.

"My brother was right in one thing. We need to work together. But there will not be forced bindings or hidden agreements. There will not be one being who rules it all.

We are going to organize a council. A council with voted members.

A balanced council. Are you with me in this or are you against peace?"

"How do we now that you will keep your word?" Jade Arrakens soft yet strong voice floated the hall. Chris admired her for the way she put on a brave face. He had just killed her son and she was still thinking about the future of her family and her friends.

Chris looked her in the eyes as he answered.

"You will have to trust me."

"How can I trust the son of a charmed one? After all, your brother kept us under his control for years. You are from the same blood. What can you offer us as a sign of your honesty?"

Some of the demons nodded their heads in agreement.

Chris thought about her question for a few seconds.

"Nothing. As I said there want be any bindings or pacts. You have my word."

The demons started arguing.

Faith's sobs ended. She looked up and saw Chris facing the others.

He needed her. She could sense it.

Her gaze wandered once more to the corpse of her beloved. One lat time she felt the softness of his hair before her hand wandered to her belly. She needed to be strong now. For her child. Wyatt's child.

Faith stood up and had to hold on Melinda for a second because her legs felt like jelly.

"Are you sure?" Melinda asked her gently.

"Yes. Go and get Caitlin. It's time."

Melinda nodded and orbed out.

---

Faith walked towards Chris. She stopped right besides him.

There shoulders almost touching.

He looked down at her unsure of he actions.

"He is right. You can trust him."

"How can you say that Faith? He killed your husband not a hour ago."
"I know that! There was no need to remind me of that, Jade. I love my husband. And his semen is growing in me. I'm caring his child his former heir."

She stepped forward. Her voice getting louder with every word.

"Chris can't offer you a sign. But I can. A last binding. A binding between my son. Between my son and a daughter from the Halliwell line!"

Chris starred at her in shock. What was she talking about? What daughter? There was no one left of his family.

Except Melinda and himself.

"What are you talking about, Faith?"

Before she could answer Melinda orbed back in. She carried a small bundle in her arms.

"You all now that the assassin Bianca gave birth to a child before she died." Faith looked around until she saw some approving movements. She also ignored Chris. She could feel his uncertainty.

"What you didn't know is that this child. Her daughter. Is from the Halliwell line, too. She is Christopher Halliwells daughter!"

The crowd gasped. So did Chris. He looked at the small baby in Melinda's arms. A daughter. He had a daughter. A daughter with his beloved Bianca.

"The seers prophesied her a great destiny. This will be the pledge you want. A binding between his daughter and my son."

Jade swallowed down her anger. Damn you Faith how could do that?

Jade nodded. The demons nodded also in approvement.

"Then it's settled. We will talk about everything else tomorrow."

The crowd vanished.

---

Once the hall was empty Chris turned to Melinda.

"What's her name?"

Melinda smiled at him and handed Chris his daughter.
"Her name is Caitlin. It was Biancas wish."

He nodded. His eyes were fixed on his daughter and he smiled as she opened her eyes and blinked at him. Chris started to rock her gently and Caitlin settled back to sleep.

He looked up again and smiled at his sister. He saw tears in her eyes and gently wiped them away with his hand before he embraced her tight.

Melinda holt on to him as strong as she could.

„I missed you so much, Chris." He said nothing but kissed her hair and hold her as tight as he could.

After a few minutes he let go of her and kissed her forehead before he spoke.

"Melinda please go and tell the council what happened here tonight. Tell them that it is over. That they can relax."

She nodded and orbed out.

Chris waited until the blue orbs were all gone before he turned to Faith.

"Why didn't you tell me?"

She sighed.

"When should I have told you? During you were in the past or when you tried to organize your forces or during you murdered my husband?" She almost screamed the last word.

"I'm sorry. You're right."

She just glared at him.

„You know that I didn´t have another choice, dont you?"

Faith closed her eyes for a moment before she answered.

„I know that Chris. But that doesnt mean that this will be easier for me then. I need time. Hell, we all need time. But I still hope that this future can be changed."

„So do I."

He walked over and handed her the baby before he conjured a big blanket which he laid over the corpse.

----

Melinda reorbed in a large room with big windows. She had just told the council what had happened and now she was searching for Gage.

She saw him standing in front of the window gazing out into the bay.

She knew that he had heard her orbing in so she didnt spent time to announce herself before she ran towards him.

Melinda stopped right behind him and waited for him to speak.

„So its over." His dark voice were spending shivers down her spine.

„Yes. It´s over."

Gage turned around and looked her up and down before he unsure reached out for her.
Without hesitation she plunged herself into his arms and pressed herself against him.

She didnt know why but tears started to roll down her cheeks.

„It´s okay. I´m here. I will be here forever!" He stated as he let her cry on his shoulder and hold her tight.

„I wouldnt let you go again." She tried to joke but failed.

After a few minutes she felt better and released her tight grip on him Melinda turned back a little and looked him into his beautiful blue eyes.

„I missed you."

Gage smiled at her and brushed his hand gently through her hair before he answered.

„I love you. And I will not lose you again, Melinda."

„You won't!"

He lowered his head and she closed her eyes before their lips met in a loving kiss.

„I have to go back to my brother but I will back as soon as I can. I promise."

He nodded and kissed her a last time before she orbed out leaving an extremely confident and happily smiling man behind…

"That's enough. I can't just sit here and do nothing. It's time that we go and help my son!"

Piper stooped pacing the floor and turned towards Paige and Phoebe who sat bored on the couch.

"Thank god! You finally said it. I swear I was going to burst soon."

Phoebe said jumping from the couch and clapping her hands together.

"me too. So what do you think? Which spell should we use?"

Paige asked positioning herself between her older sisters.

Before Piper could answer the sisters vanished.

They reappeared in another big hall. But this one was empty except of three people.

Piper ran over to Chris and hugged him.

"Thank god. You're all right." She gently laid her hands around his face and tears of relieve were rolling down her face.

"I am. Ready to meet your daughter?"

Piper's gaze wandered from him to the tall dark haired woman next to him. She smiled and reached her hands towards Melinda who gladly took it.

Just a second later mother and daughter laid in each other arms. Both silently crying.

"I missed you so much, Mom."

"You are so beautiful, Melinda!"

Paige walked over to the corpse and lifted the blanket a little bit to be able to see watts face.

Phoebe joined her.

"He looks like Leo, don't he?"

"Yes he does."

Piper stepped away from Melinda and she started walking towards her sisters but Chris stopped her.

"Don't. You will regret it."

Her gaze wandered a few seconds between Chris and the corpse before she lightly nodded.

"You need to get back. We have saved this future but you still have the chance to prevent it at all. Don't let it happen again, Mom."

Piper nodded and Phoebe and Paige walked towards her.

"How do we go back?" Phoebe asked.

Instead of answering Chris just raised his arm and a portal appeared.

"This will bring you back to your own time."

"Aren't you coming with us?" Paige asked.

He shook his head.

"No, Paige . I can't. I have to take care of this future until you can change it."

He walked over to the sisters and hugged them a last time.

At last he hugged Piper.

"I love you, Mom. Never forget it!"

"I love you too, Chris. And don't worry. We are going to change this. I want die. I will be there. Promise!"

He nodded and inhaled one last time her scent before he let go and put an arm around Melinda.

Piper caressed Melinda´s cheek a last time before she turned to her sisters.

Phoebe and Paige waved before they stepped through the portal. Piper followed them but before she stepped through she looked a last time at her future children. And hoping that she wouldn't fail this time.

----

The girl appeared in their attic and saw Leo still sitting there.

"What happened? Didn't it work?" He asked sceptically.

"What are you talking about? We have been gone for almost three days, Leo."

"Really? But you just vanished."

"You know, Leo. All this time travel stuff really gets over my head."

Phoebe said before she hugged him and left the attic.

Paige did the same and mumbled something about showering and Chinese food before she left, too. Leaving Piper and Leo alone.

"So. What have you found out?" He asked curiously.

Piper smiled at him.

"You know what, Leo? Paige is right I really need a shower and something to eat. Care to join me?"

He looked surprised. He hadn't expected that she would like to spend time with him after all what happened.

"I would love to." He smiled at her and she offered him her hand not only for dinner but for a second chance.

He took Pipers outstretched hand and gently pulled her towards him before he caressed her face with his other hand and gently kissed her lips.

---

Maybe Piper told him about her experiences. Maybe she would tell him that Chris was his son and maybe everything would be fine and the girls can prevent Chris's future. Who knows?

But one thing is for sure. They will never give up and being the charmed ones it is almost impossible that they will lose…..
