O.O
In this chapter, since there's going to be two Chris's and two Wyatt's, present Chris and Wyatt will become Chris1 and Wyatt1. Future Chris and Wyatt will become Chris2 and Wyatt2. But when there's only one of them in a scene, they'll just be referred to as Chris and Wyatt. It'll be confusing, but I'm sure we can all work through it! If anyone has any other ideas, please tell me!
Coping With Two Homes:
Chapter 3: Different Views
The next day, about an hour after Piper had told everyone about what she did for Chris, Chris2 was pacing and ranting about personal gain.
"It could backfire, and then where would we be?!?!" Chris2 yelled facing Piper.
Piper was about to open her mouth to say something when Chris2 started yelling again.
"I mean, it could've really messed everything up!! And what are the elders going to say?!?! They're going to be so mad at us!! They-!!"
"Chris, I am an elder, remember?" Leo interrupted, raising his eyebrows.
"Dad, chill. It's not the worst thing in the world. It's actually a pretty sweet deal," Brian said, smirking.
"Yeah. I now you can't steal my brother from me, because you have yours now," Chris1 said, smiling.
Wyatt1 rolled his eyes and smiled at his little brother.
"It's a good thing, Chris," Paige said.
"Yeah. So cut your mom some slack. She was just trying to make you happy," Phoebe said, putting an arm around Piper's shoulders.
Chris2 looked at all of them like they were crazy. "But personal gain-!!"
Wyatt1 rolled his eyes. "Screw the rules about personal gain. It's just a bunch of bullshit, anyway, if you ask me."
Leo looked at him with a watch-your-mouth kind of look.
"Sorry," Wyatt1 said, smiling and looking down at the floor.
Chris2 sighed and sat down. He looked up at Piper. "Sorry for yelling, mom." He smiled. "Thanks. Really. I need him here. Life's just not the same without him." He looked over at Wyatt2, still smiling.
Wyatt2 sat next to Chris2 and pulled him into a hug. He whispered into Chris's ear, "I love you, little brother."
Tears started to slowly stream down Chris's face. "I love you, too, big brother," he said, not even thinking about whispering, just thinking that he was so happy because his brother was back to help him through everything.
Chris1 was about to hug Wyatt1 when he pushed him away.
"Don't touch me," Wyatt1 said, crossing his arms.
"Well fine then. Just trying to spread the brotherly love," Chris1 said, moving away from his older brother.
"In a few years, maybe," Wyatt1 said, smirking at this little brother and leaving the room, Chris1 following.
"I wish they would get along better," Leo muttered to himself.
"Well, it seems like Chris is all for getting along. It's Wyatt with the problem," Paige said. Then her eyes went wide. "What if he's turning evil?! What if Chris only delayed it?! What if he only delayed us dying?! What if-!"
Wyatt smiled at Paige, letting go of Chris, who had wiped away his tears. "Trust me. He's not turning evil. Just going through a little-brothers-are-so-annoying phase. It'll pass soon."
"I hope so. Because their constant bickering is giving me a lot of headaches," Piper said, sighing. "Then there's Chris and Bianca-"
"Chris and Bianca?" Wyatt asked, looking at Chris. He looked back at Piper. "But they're great together. They-"
"Got married then divorced five years ago," Chris said, looking down at the floor.
"Oh," Wyatt said, a little shocked. "I see . . . So, if you guys are already divorced, then why are you fighting?"
Chris was about to say something when Leo decided he had to put in his two cents.
"Because she's a bitch who doesn't know when to let old habits die."
Piper glared at Leo. "She is not! She just wants to see her son more! I don't blame her! Chris isn't letting her see him at all!"
"That's not true!" Chris yelled, standing up quickly. "I'd be more than happy to let her see Chris if she'd call once in a while!"
"Why are you taking Bianca's side, anyway, Piper?!" Leo yelled. "Chris is our son! We're supposed to support him!"
"I am! I just believe that Bianca's a sweet girl that Chris shouldn't have divorced in the first place!" Piper yelled back.
"She asked me for the divorce, mom! Not the other way around!" Chris yelled.
Piper was about to yell back when Wyatt stood up.
"Okay, okay! Settle down, people! We'll get this all sorted out!" he yelled, glancing over at Brian, who was staring at the ground. "Your upsetting the kid!"
Brian looked up and glared at Wyatt. "I'm not a kid," he muttered.
Leo looked over at Brian. "Brian, I'm sorry. I just --"
"It's okay, Grandpa. I understand. You hate my mom --"
"I don't hate her --"
"-- but so do I, so I don't mind. I swear," Brian said, walking out of the room.
Leo sighed. "Chris, I'm sorry."
"It's okay. He'll get over it," Chris said, looking down at the floor.
"I'll go talk to him --"
"I don't think that'll be such a good idea, Leo," Phoebe said, putting a hand on his shoulder. "He just needs some time to think. Anyway, I got to get to work, so I'll catch you all later." She hugged Wyatt and walked out.
Paige looked at her watch. "And I have a class to teach in about ten minutes, so I better go, too," she said, walking out.
Leo looked up at Piper.
Piper glared at him and stormed out.
Wyatt looked at Chris. "We could talk to Bianca and work everything out, if you want . . ."
"I don't think that's such a good idea," Leo said, walking over next to the two.
"Just because you can't stand her," Chris said, looking at him.
"Chris, I just can't stand what she did to you. I can't stand that she asked you to ask you for a divorce, then have the nerve to ask you to give up your powers if you wanted to stay with her. I can't stand the weeks I saw you cry after your divorce, and then tell everyone that you were okay. I can't stand how much pain she caused you," Leo said, tears forming in his eyes.
Chris tried to force back his tears, but one escaped.
Leo wiped it away and stared into Chris's eyes. "You're my son and I love you. I never wanted you to feel that kind of pain. And since she's the one who made it happen, I can't stand to see her, because it reminds me of what she did to you."
Chris nodded and looked down at the ground. Leo smiled weakly and hugged Chris tightly.
More tears flowed down Chris's face, but he just ignored them, resting his head on Leo's shoulder. "I love you, too, dad," he whispered, causing more tears to fall.
Wyatt shifted uncomfortably, feeling he was intruding in on a father-son moment, and orbed out.
Brian walked in slowly, noticing Chris and Leo.
"Dad, are you crying?" he asked softly.
Chris and Leo separated and Chris quickly wiped the tears off his face. "Uh, no. I - I just have something in my eye."
"Both of them?" Brian asked, raising his eyebrows.
"Ye -Yeah," Chris said, forcing a smile. "So, what's up?"
