IT AGAIN!!
"Chris...calm down..." said Phoebe cautiously.
"Calm down? HOW MUCH DO YOU KNOW? You weren't supposed to...Bianca and I decided...How long have you been here?" he demanded, realizing that they were at the pool.
"Long enough to find out who you really are!" Phoebe exclaimed, pulling him into a hug. Chris reluctantly hugged her back.
"You were never supposed to know...Bianca would murder me..."
"Why? Chris, you're family. Why didn't you just tell us in the first place?"
"Think of it this way, Phoebe; a weird boy comes from the future and turns your lives upside down. How badly would you really want to believe that you were related to said person?" He sighed. "Besides, the mission was clear. I'd save Wyatt and leave...but nothing's changed yet."
"You're BIG Chris?" asked Brian. "But...wait, I'm lost. This is so twisted! How'd you get here?"
"Found the spell in PHOEBE'S handwriting," he accused. "Couldn't help myself...I had to get out of there before Leo...Oh, damn."
Yet another blue light filled the entire room, causing them all to jump up in fright.
"Chris! Where the hell are you?" boomed a voice.
"Hello, Leo," Chris said, exasperated. "Great; while we're at it, let's invite the whole damn WORLD to come see the future!"
"At least now I'll know what you're hiding," Leo shot back.
"Break it up, break it up," said Paige. "Look, Leo, let me just say this before the surprise shocks you half to death—it's not what you expect."
"Yeah, right," Leo scoffed, "and by that do you mean he's evil?"
"He is not!" Brian said in Chris' defense.
"Yeah, I'm—wait, you can see us? How do you know about...?"
"Heh, I'm your whitelighter in this time. Woops, guess that that kinda slipped my mind when I started talking to you..."
"You're—? Never mind, I don't have time for this...We HAVE to get you all out of here. Where's Piper?"
"With mini-you," Paige exclaimed.
"You're so cute when you're little!" Phoebe exclaimed. "Why didn't you tell us you were such a babe magnet?"
"Don't talk like that, it scares me," said Chris. "Alright, where's 'mini- me'? We have to get Piper out of here, before it's too late..."
"She already knows, there's no point in trying to get her out of here." Phoebe shrugged. "We all know, now."
"Ugh! This is bad...but HE doesn't know and I don't particularly WANT him to," Chris said angrily, pointing at Leo.
"I demand to know what's going on!" Leo looked Phoebe in the eye. "Tell me what he's hiding."
"Brian, where'd Chris go?" asked Wyatt, coming at of the pool.
"Home," Brian explained quickly, "he didn't feel good."
"Oh...well, practice is over and we're gonna head back," said Wyatt. "You guys! Time to go home!"
"Where's Chris?" Bianca whispered once she was certain they were out of Brian's earshot.
Leo, Phoebe, Paige and Chris followed them out the door.
"Who are all these kids?" Leo asked.
"Colin and Mel are Paige's twins, right there by the poolside," Phoebe began. "And that girl right there, Prue, is mine. Wyatt, as you can see, is over there on the bike, and Bianca—well, it's complicated, Piper adopted her. Chris is..."
"At home," Chris finished, "making cookies with my mom. I remember today and I strongly suggest that you leave if you know what's good for you."
"Why?" asked Phoebe, giving him a concerned look.
"You'll see...Can we please just leave?"
"No!" Paige exclaimed, "I like it here. You're all so cute."
"Not for long," he mumbled.
Leo orbed them to the manor, assuming that that's where they were going next.
"You may have brainwashed her, but soon I'll reveal you for what you really are," future Leo said menacingly in past Chris' ear.
He orbed away, leaving Chris with a very hurt look.
"So, did your tell your father the good news about your power?" asked future Piper, oven mittens on and flour smeared on her face.
"Yeah...he was very excited for me," Chris gulped, looking near tears. He quickly pretended that everything was fine, though.
"Piper?" older Chris asked. His past mother stood watching the scene, looking as if she might cry.
"Chris? What're you doing...oh, I'm so sorry, honey..." She hugged him close.
"Did I miss something here?" asked Leo hesitantly.
"Leo!" Piper shrieked. "It's you! You're back to normal...Oh my god, you won't believe it, Wyatt put you under a spell in the future...Chris is our son."
"What!?" Leo gasped, staring at Chris, speechless. "You're...my son?"
"In the flesh," said Chris. "I didn't want to tell you guys, but I guess you found away around my lies...Hey, Phoebe, just so you know—that spell has personal gain written all over it."
"Chris, I'm sorry...I didn't know...Why didn't you tell us?" Leo asked softly.
"Yeah—and your powers, too! You didn't tell us you had rapid acceleration and freezing! Chris, you didn't have to lie to us...we would've understood..." Piper trailed off, tears running down her cheeks.
"As I said before, I was supposed to leave before any questions were even brought up. It was just gonna be go to the future, save Wyatt, come back. Then there were some...minor complications...I haven't exactly found the demon that gets Wyatt yet..."
"We'll find him, trust me. We'll help," Leo promised.
"Mom! We're home!" Wyatt called. "Mm, I smell cookies! Another masterpiece from Mom and Chris, huh?"
"Yeah, they're in the kitchen," said younger Chris. "Come and get them."
"Yay!" called Mel, bouncing into the kitchen behind Wyatt.
Colin followed her, orbing two of the cookies into his hand. "It's not personal gain," he laughed, "I can't fight demons if I don't get cookies."
Prue grabbed the cookies from Colin and licked them. "Mm, thanks Col!"
"Grrr..." he joked, walking up to the tray and getting another cookie. Bianca snuck up from behind him and took the next two from him like Prue did. "Hey!" Colin exclaimed. "That was mine!"
"What can I say?" she giggled. "Personal gain comes with consequences."
"Aren't they cute, Leo?" past Piper fussed. She looked behind her to see Leo's reaction, but Chris' tear-streaked face caught her eye first.
"Chris...what's wrong?"
A/N: All shall soon be revealed...and yet nobody has a cookie for me!! SOB Me WaNt CoOkIeS!!
"Chris...calm down..." said Phoebe cautiously.
"Calm down? HOW MUCH DO YOU KNOW? You weren't supposed to...Bianca and I decided...How long have you been here?" he demanded, realizing that they were at the pool.
