Chapter 1

Leo stood at the door watching his two sons playing together. Piper gently tapped him on the shoulder. "Honey, Phoebe's here." She said.
"Okay sweetie, I'll tell the boys to come inside. Wyatt! Chris! Auntie Phoebe's here." He called out to them. They followed Leo into the living room. Phoebe was just putting her bags down.
"Leo! Oh god it's great to see you!"
"You too Phoebe" he laughed
"Hey, and how are my two favourite nephews?" she said as a boy of 6 years old with blonde hair gave her a hug. Wyatt stepped back and Chris stepped forward.
"Auntie Phoebe! I missed you." He said as he hugged her.
"And I missed you too, sweetie, by the way" she said with a smile "Isn't it someone's birthday today" Phoebe asked him as she pulled a wrapped present out from her bag.
"Thanks Auntie Phoebe!" He said, looking at the box his eyes lit up.
"Chris, you and Wyatt go put it with the other presents" Piper said, turning to Phoebe and hugging her as they ran off.
"I'm so glad you're back Phoebe"
"Yeah, me too. I missed all of you guys and the manor, by the way, where's Paige?"
"She's at Magic School, she just had some papers to correct. She'll be home this evening. Where's Jason?" she asked. "He's still in Florida with Penny. They'll be here on Wednesday. It'll be so great to have the family back together again."
"I couldn't agree more." Piper smiled as she and Phoebe left the room and walked into the kitchen.
"Nice tan by the way" she laughed looking in her sisters direction, Phoebe playfully nudged her sister in the arm as they walked off.

Leo sat by the stairs, lost in thought.
"Chris..."
"Hey..." Leo, fighting tears, rushes to his side.
"It's okay, I'm here now, I'm here. You just hold on, okay? Just hold on, don't you dare give up."
"You either." Then, Chris stops moving, stops breathing. Leo, desperate to stop this, grabs hold of his son, trying to will him back to life,
"No, please! No!!" A beat later, Chris' body fades away in Leo's arms, leaving him with...nothing.

"Leo?" Phoebe came walking up the stairs and saw tears in his eyes.
