O.O

Hey, guys! I'm so sorry that I couldn't update sooner! I was so busy on my vacation! You know how relatives can get! And I'm sorry that I didn't update as soon as I got back! I was resting from my trip, hanging out with my BFF - because right before I had left, she had just gotten back from a two week vacation to visit her relatives - and just basically just laying low and getting some alone time. But now I'm totally ready to start updating again! And, surprise, two new stories are on the way, and will be coming to you in the next couple of weeks! One is the sequel to: The Third Son, a story that ended way too soon, but I had to do it!

Anyway, on with the story!

Past Consequences:

Chapter 5: Lower-Level Demon And Brotherly Bonding

"Well, now that that's taken care of, back to you two," Prue said, looking at Piper and Leo.

"I doubt we'll be able to help them before the next demon strikes," Phoebe said, sighing, resting the side of her face in the palm of her hand.

"Well, then, we'll just have to help while fighting off evil in the process," Past Piper said, smiling.

"Well, the helping is going to have to come later," Chris said as something banged upstairs.

"After this, I need to talk to you about something," Wyatt said, grabbing Chris's arm as everyone else ran up the stairs quickly.

Chris looked confused. "About what, Wy?"

Wyatt looked pissed beyond words. He looked up the stairs to make sure the others were out of hearing-range and leaned close to Chris. "About why you have a lighter in your pocket," he said, giving Chris one last good look and running up the stairs.

Chris sighed and ran up after them.

Past Piper stared at the seen in front of her, being the first one to reach the attic.

There was smoke everywhere. And where there wasn't, she could see everything broken, and thrown around all over. But what she could also see where two demons standing there, looking pretty pissed.

"You killed our sister," the first demon said, glaring pointedly at Chris.

"So now we're going to kill you," the second demon said, shimmering next to Chris.

"Sorry, boys, but my brother and I need to have a serious conversation," Wyatt said, telekinetically throwing them against the opposite wall. "And we can't have any interruptions."

Past Piper and Piper quickly blew the demons up, then turned towards Wyatt and Chris as everyone else did the same thing.

"What are you talking about?" Leo asked, looking suspiciously at the two.

"Oh my god. Chris had sex with someone, didn't he?" Paige asked, putting her hands on her hips.

"No! No, I swear I didn't!" Chris said quickly, noticing the looks on Piper and Leo's faces.

"That's not what it's about," Wyatt said, rolling his eyes. "It's about something I'm going to be keeping from you guys until I need you to be in it, because I'm his older brother and I can handle it on my own. You'll just have to trust me," he added, grabbing Chris's arm and pulling him downstairs.

"I don't trust those two working together as far as I can throw them," Paige said, looking over at the other seven.

"Neither do I," Phoebe said, following the two, everyone else following her.

"I personally think we should leave them alone. They seem to be fine by themselves," Cole said, causing the women to glare at him. "What? Just a thought."

"Shh. They're talking," Piper said, peeking around the corner slowly.

"Chris, you have a lot of explaining to do. I mean, at the moment it was nice that you just happened to have a lighter in your pocket, but I want to know why it was there in the first place," Wyatt said, pacing around the room in front of Chris, who was sitting down on the couch.

"Uh . . . I found it?" Chris said, knowing that Wyatt wouldn't buy it, but still hoping a bit that he would.

Wyatt faced him, looking a bit upset. "Chris, don't lie to me. You are truly my best friend, and I don't want you ever to lie to me. You are supposed to be able to tell me anything. You always used to. And I don't want that to change. So, please, just talk to me."

"Wy, you're going to be so mad, though," Chris said, looking down at the ground.

Wyatt walked over to his younger brother and kneeled in front of him. "Maybe I am, but that doesn't mean I don't love you. Because I do. I just want what's best for you. Promise."

Chris sighed and looked up at Wyatt. Then he stood up and dug in one of his leg pockets, pulling out a pack of cigarettes.

Wyatt looked pissed. "What the hell are you doing with these?!" he yelled, grabbing the pack from him.

"What do you think I was doing with them?!" Chris yelled back, raising his eyebrows.

Wyatt groaned in frustration and stared at Chris. "You know, I suspected this was what you had the lighter for, but I was trying so hard to believe that you were smarter than this."

"Wy, I'm sorry -"

"Where the hell did you get these from?!" Wyatt yelled, forcing Chris to sit back down.

Chris looked down at the floor and stayed silent.

"Answer me, goddamn it!" Wyatt yelled, forcing Chris to look up at him.

"I got them from a friend at school, alright?!"

Wyatt sighed at sat down next to Chris, trying to calm himself. When he was calmed down, he looked over at Chris slowly. "How could you be so stupid?" he half whispered, tears coming to his eyes.

"Wyatt, I'm sorry. I really am. I was being pressured left and right, and . . . and I couldn't help it. Do you know how hard it is to fit is when everyone knows that your family is to blame for the witch trials?" Chris asked, already knowing the answer to that question.

"Yes, I do, Chris. I know how hard it is. But I got past all that. And I know you can too. It took me going to a party, getting drunk, and - god, I promised myself I wouldn't tell anyone this, but you're my brother, so I'll make an exception," he paused for a moment to take a deep breath, staring in front of him. Then he looked back at Chris. "And getting a girl pregnant when I was your age to get past it. And I don't want the same thing happening to you."

Chris looked down at the ground and sighed. "I promise I'll stop, Wy. I promise."

Wyatt smiled softly. "Thanks, Chris. Because I don't want you going through the same things I've been going through," he said, pulling Chris into a hug.

"Wyatt's a daddy?" Piper asked no one in particular, putting her hand to her mouth as tears slowly made their way down her face.

"Oh my god," Leo said in shock, looking about ready to pass out.

Phoebe looked over at Past Piper and Past Leo. "Okay, guys, we gotta be a lot more careful. Because if I become a great aunt that soon, some heads are going to roll."

Chris looked up at Wyatt. "You . . . You're a dad?"

Wyatt smiled and nodded. "You always wanted to know where I spent my hour. Now you do. It's not a lot, but it's all I've got. Occasionally her mother will bring her to the Magic School and I'll be able to hang out with her there, but not too often."

Chris smiled slightly. "What's her name?"

"Kristina. After my favourite brother," Wyatt said, hugging Chris tightly. "Okay, we better get back up there before everyone starts to worry."

Chris nodded and stood up with Wyatt.

"Up the stairs! Now!" Past Piper whispered, everyone running up the stairs as fast as they possibly could while being as quiet as they possibly could.

"Okay, we have to pretend like we never heard any of that, or they're going to be so mad at us," Prue said, running her fingers through her hair in the attic.

"And they'll never trust Paige, Leo, or I ever again," Piper said right before Chris and Wyatt walked in.

"Wy, everyone's staring at us," Chris whispered to his older brother after a minute of standing in the doorway.

"I think they were eavesdropping," Wyatt said, smirking slightly.

"Yeah. I think that's it," Chris said, looking around at everyone. "And I also think that now, we're in so much trouble."

"You got that right," Leo and Past Leo said in unison, crossing their arms.

"Honey, why didn't you ever tell us that you have a baby girl?" Piper asked, walking over to Wyatt.

"Because I wasn't ready to share," Wyatt said, raising his eyebrows.

"Yeah, okay, all this family stuff is nice, be we really need to get Piper and Leo back together so they can go back to their time and we can get on with our lives," Prue said, looking around at everyone. "I mean, these boys need parents that don't fight 24/7! And they were sent here for us to fix that! So, c'mon! Let's get this thing on the road!"

"Wow. I forgot how bossy she was," Piper said, staring at her.

"It's okay, Piper. You filled her shoes," Paige said, smirking.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Piper asked, turning to her slowly.

"That you're just as bossy as Aunt Prue," Chris said, smirking as wide as Paige, Phoebe, and Wyatt were.

"Oh goody for me," Phoebe said, crossing her arms. "The bossiness will never stop. Just what I always wanted," she added, just before a portal opened up in the wall next to her.

O.O.O.O.O

And I'm so sorry for this chapter being so short! I promise it'll be longer next time!
