Chapter Four
Paige pulled a disgusted face as she chucked the dirty nappy into the bin. She stared down at Baby Christopher, wondering how something so small could produce something so disgusting. She spoke as she pulled a clean diaper out from the changing table. "Why do I get to do the dirty work?"
"Because I'm looking for the 'force of evil' as you put it, that has been orbing my son all over the world" Piper replied from her seat on her double-bed. She had the book flipped out on her lap and was slowly turning over the pages.
It was the afternoon after the surprise get-together, where Chris had started to mysteriously orb around the house and surroundings. At that time neither Piper and Paige had been worried. But that all changed when Paige witnessed Chris being orbed out of his crib and had followed her nephew. All the way to Moscow, where Chris had appeared in an ally way.
"He was orbed all the way to Moscow, Piper. I think whatever is doing it can be classed as EVIL" Paige retorted as she wrapped baby Chris up and hugged him close.
"I still maintain that it would be himself, Seriously Paige what forces of evil orb a baby to Russia?" Piper slammed the book shut, not being able to find anything. She watched as Paige walked over, stepping over Wyatt's coloured lettered blocks that lay on the ground, and laid Chris on the bed.
Paige opened her mouth to debate the issues, but closed it quickly when she heard Leo call for them from downstairs. She took the lead, letting Piper pick up the small child and carry him downstairs.
When they arrived downstairs, they saw Leo sitting at the table, bouncing Wyatt up and down on his knee. Phoebe was perched on the bench nearby, who had arrived home early morning, and had been avoiding Piper ever since.
When Phoebe had arrived home, Piper had immediately started to yell and shout at her for not telling them about the party. Of course, Phoebe had claimed to have told them, but she had also added that she told Piper at Three o'clock in the morning when Chris had woke them up.
"Yes?" Paige asked impatiently, wanting to get back to finding the demon or warlock that has been the cause for Chris's disappearing act. However her emotions were not shared by Piper, who smiled at the father-son bonding and was handing Christopher to Leo, so that her favourite 'boys' could bond together.
"I was thinking, that just maybe, Chris may be coming into his powers...and he may be the cause" Paige frowned, having the same idea as Leo in their household showed intelligence. "I mean maybe Chris's powers were transferred to the baby when he died, it would explain a lot"
"But..." Paige started.
As the adults argued, Wyatt looked down at the little intruder, Christopher. He did not sense badness or evil from the boy, but the constant cries in the middle of the night was enough to drive any one mad!
Christopher looked up at his older brother, suddenly realizing that the attention had shifted from him to the evil, also known as Wyatt Matthew Halliwell, that had been orbing him around the world. He opened his mouth and let out a long wail, knowing that his parents and aunts would immediately turn back to him.
His plan worked. Leo lowered Wyatt onto the ground, and started to rock Baby Christopher, humming a song to him. Paige, Phoebe and Piper crowded Leo and the baby, smiling and pulling faces at him in attempts to cheer him up.
Anger washed over Wyatt, consuming the small boy. He craving the attention that his aunts and mother had once paid him. He looked up through the gap of bodies and at the Baby that had stolen the spotlight. He slowly blinked, and baby Chris disappeared in a swirl of orbs.

"Can you sense him yet?"
"No"
Silence filled the room for a few moments.
"Now?"
"No"
Two minutes passed.
"Now?"
"Nothing"
"...What about now?"
"Jeez, Piper. Calm down, when I sense him, I'll tell you" Leo chucked his head back and closed his eyes, trying to sense his one-week-old son, who had been orbed out of his arms moments before.
Piper was pacing nervously, wanting to hold her son in her arms again. She jumped when Leo spoke.
"He's in the nursery" Leo supplied, concluding that Baby Christopher had orbed back into the house from wherever he was before. Leo grabbed Piper's arm and orbed upstairs to the nursery, Phoebe and Paige following with toddler Wyatt in tow.
As soon as Piper had reformed, she lunged for the small bundle in the cot. She hugged her son close, relief and anger washing over her, however she did not show her frustration. "Shh, I've got you" She whispered, even though Baby Chris wasn't crying.
"If he could talk...," Leo said, also ready to vanquish whatever evil had kidnapped his son.
As if on cue, Baby Chris looked up from Piper's shoulder where he had been resting. He raised a tiny hand, lifting a colorful lettered block off the ground with his powers. The block sliced through the air and stopped in front of Leo, Phoebe, and Paige, who was clinging tightly to Wyatt.
"Oh my...he's using his powers, isn't he cute?" Phoebe started to speak babyish. "Oh yes you are, You are just the cutest little baby of them all" she continued to coo at Baby Chris.
Baby Chris seemed to roll his eyes as he raised his other hand, sending another block flying towards him. Now, he had two letters, W and Y.
"Phoebe, Phoebe..." Leo waved his hand in front of her face. "Phoebe, Phoebe, Phoebe...Oh shut-up Phoebe, I think he's trying to tell us something"
Phoebe shut her mouth and watched as Baby Christopher summoned another block, an A. The room was silent as Christopher finished the word. Leo read it out aloud.
"Wyatt?" Leo read. Each of the sisters, and Leo, turned and faced Wyatt, who stared back innocently.

"I'm soooo going to kill that boy!" Piper claimed as she shut the door to Wyatt's bedroom. She walked the few steps to join Leo, Paige and Phoebe, who were discussing the new information that they had received just minutes before.
"Looks like we found our force of evil...Wyatt" Paige softly said, looking back at the cot which had been moved into the hall which was occupied by Baby Christopher, worried that he may disappear again.
"Ironic" Phoebe commented, she waited a few moments before continuing. "So, how are you going to punish Wyatt?"
Piper was first to answer. "Like I said, I'm going to kill 'im"
"You are not," Leo said, concern in his voice.
"Yeah I am" Piper retorted.
"You kill him, and you will..." Piper cut him off before he started on his usual long speeches about good and evil.
"Fine, what do you propose we do?"
"Bind his powers" Leo finally answered. Piper fell silent, as if she was seriously considering the option.
"No way!"
"You can't do that!" Paige and Phoebe jumped into the conversation, both of them believing that Wyatt AND Chris should be able to use their powers at their will.
"Fine then you orb after Chris when Wyatt sends him to Antarctica" Piper said, matter-of-factly. The conversation continued on, each of the adults putting in their ideas on the situation, until finally they decided that they would look for a spell in the book.
