O.O

Note: Michael's power is more advanced than Piper's, so he's able to freeze anything, even good witches. The only people immune to his powers are Wyatt and Chris. And, yes, Chris was supposed to propose to Bianca that night, but considering everything that was happening to him, I'd think he would want to wait a while.

Thanks for all of the reviews, guys!

charmedmel32: Sad? How was it sad? Oh, about Piper dying and everything? Yeah. That is sad. Especially because I'm a fool for Piper and Leo romance. But I'm glad you love the story despite those chapters.

psychokitty3: I'm glad that you think it was cute. And I'm glad you liked it. Personally, I thought it was cute, too.

piperleo4eva: Poor neurotic Chris. They didn't even want to admit that he is. I'm glad you think my fic's great. And I'll keep going as long as I still have my loyal readers to get my through tough times. But, that's never been a problem in the past. And, yeah. The Untouchable Sisters got turned into the Untouchable Brothers! And to think, now The Charmed Ones are half whitelighter!

Drewfuller4eva: Yeah. That was hilarious. "Am I?" And then they just walk off without responding to him. Lol.

ChArMeDcRaZiChIcK: I go crazy if the family from Charmed isn't close. So I always have to make them. Or I'll seriously lose my mind! : P

sailorwind: Yeah. I think even the family of The Charmed Ones should be able to enjoy even something as simple as Life. And even though they're the all magical and powerful family, they should be able to act like a normal family when they're not fighting evil or dealing with new powers. Lol. Yup. And The Charmed Ones are all half Charmed One, half whitelighter. I wonder how that'll play out. Because, personally, I don't even know. Lol.

Anyway, on with the story!

Chapter 4: Brother Blues

A couple weeks later, Wyatt was flipping through his photo album that was specifically devoted and dedicated to himself and his little brothers. It was made out of pictures that Piper let him have of when they were younger, and then picture he had shot since he got his first camera when he was thirteen.

Michael walked in, and smiled at the scene of his older brother flipping through old memories, knowing that all the memories in that album only consisted of the brothers.

Wyatt looked up at the sound of his door closing. He smiled. "Hey."

Michael walked over to him and sat down next to Wyatt on his bed. "Hey."

Wyatt looked back down at the book and took out a picture of the three at Michael's twenty-first birthday party, that had only been a few months ago.

It had been at a bar, and they had kidnapped Leo and forced him to join them. The picture was shot by Leo. The brothers were just doing something simple. They were playing pool. But they way they were treating each other was out of love. And even if you weren't there and were just staring at the picture, you feel the love. It just came right out at you from the picture.

Wyatt sighed and put it back as Michael rested his head on his oldest brother's shoulder.

"Too bad he doesn't remember anything," he said, sighing.

Wyatt turned to him and Michael sat up. "Who?"

"C'mon, Wy. We both know who I'm talking about," Michael said, raising his eyebrows.

Wyatt looked down at the bed. "Yeah. I guess I do."

"He's still our brother, you know?"

"Not really," Wyatt said, looking up at him.

"Sure he is. He's still our neurotic brother," Michael said, smiling slightly. "At least that part of him hasn't changed."

"I would've rather that part have changed," Wyatt said, raising his eyebrows. "When someone calls you neurotic, it's not a compliment."

"Well, I'm pretty sure that Chris is used to it," Michael said, smiling and laying down, looking up at the ceiling.

Piper walked in. "Hey. What're you guys doing?"

"Just looking through some old pictures," Wyatt said, leaning over and putting the book in the drawer of his nightstand.

Piper walked over and sat down on the edge of the bed. "You can always make new memories."

"Yeah. But it won't be the same," Michael said, sitting up.

"He's still your brother," Piper said, sighing.

"Let's face it, Mom. He's not the brother we grew up with," Wyatt said, tears coming to his eyes.

"And, to tell you the truth, we'd rather have him than the one who came from the future," Michael said, looking down at the bed.

"Is that too much to ask for?" Wyatt asked, glancing downward then looking back up at Piper.

"Well, I'm sor-ry if I can't fill the shoes of your Chris."

The three looked up to see a very pissed off and very hurt Chris standing in the doorway.

Wyatt and Michael got up and walked over to him.

"Chris -" Wyatt started, putting a hand on Chris's shoulder.

Chris pulled away from his older brother. "No. I get it. But just remember that I didn't ask to be sent here. I didn't ask for a loving family and a normal older brother."

"No. It got handed to you on a gold plate," Michael said, half-glaring at Chris.

"Michael!" Piper and Wyatt yelled.

"No. He's right. Things just come so easily to me, don't they?" Chris asked sarcastically before running down the stairs.

"They do?" Michael asked, looking over at Piper.

"No! His life was like hell!" Piper yelled, storming over to her two sons. "And at least Wyatt tried to fix it! You just deepened the wound!"

"Stay here," Wyatt said before orbing in front of Chris, who was in the hallway, running towards the door. He grabbed Chris by his arms. "Chris, I'm sorry."

"Just let me go!" Chris yelled, struggling against Wyatt's grip.

"No. Not until you talk to me," Wyatt said, staring Chris in the eyes.

Chris sighed. "Fine."

Wyatt led Chris into the living room and sat next to him on the couch. "I'm sorry I said those things."

"No you're not. You're sorry I heard them," Chris said, crossing his arms.

"That's not true. Michael may not be sorry, but I am. I really am. I shouldn't have said those things. No, you're not the brother I grew up with. You're not the brother I knew my whole life. But you are my brother, and I love you just the same. And I know that, in my heart, I'll get the brother that I lost back," Wyatt said, staring into Chris's eyes.

"How do you know that?" Chris asked, starting to get teary eyed. "How do you know that me being sent here didn't cause him to be gone for good?"

"I don't know for sure. But if being in this family has taught me anything, it's that I should trust what my heart tells me. I should trust my instincts. And, right now, my heart is telling me not to give up hope," Wyatt said, also getting teary eyed. "And it's telling me to treat you like I would've treated my Chris. And, you know what? I'm going to do that."

Chris looked down at the floor. After a minute, he looked back up at his new older brother. "Thank you."

Wyatt nodded and pulled Chris to himself, hugging him close.

Michael watched from the doorway. Tears were slowly making their way down his face. He turned around and walked up the stairs, then up the ones that led to the attic.

"Maybe I can tweak Chris's spell to erase memories that someone can't handle," he said, walking over to the book of shadows.

Michael grabbed a piece of paper and wrote down the spell, then walked over to the couch and started making changes. He smiled at what he had come up with.

"Hear these words, hear my plea, take the memories that Christopher Halliwell shouldn't see, leave only those of this time, hear these words, hear my rhyme."

O.O

Chris gasped as his breath gotten taken from him, and he fell off the couch and onto the floor, still not able to breath.

Wyatt was at his side in a flash. "Chris? Mom! Dad!"

Piper ran in as Leo orbed next to the two.

"Oh my god!" Piper yelled, running over.

"Chris!" Leo said, kneeling next to his two oldest sons.

"What's happening to him?!" Wyatt yelled as Chris started to go pale.

"I don't know!" Piper yelled, panicking.

Leo's eyes went wide. "Michael's in the attic."

Wyatt quickly orbed into the attic and grabbed the paper from Michael and read it. He glared at his youngest brother. He quickly grabbed a candle and lit the flame.

"Guided spirits, hear our plea, annul this magic, let it be," he chanted, setting the piece of paper on fire and setting it into a bowl. He rounded on Michael, grabbing him by his shirt collar and slamming him up against the wall. "Are you insane?!?!"

"I was just trying to get our brother back, Wyatt!" Michael yelled.

"And almost killing his body in the process!" Wyatt yelled, throwing his youngest brother down on the floor.

"What?" Michael asked, looking up at Wyatt.

"You almost killed him, Michael. He couldn't breath," Wyatt said, sitting down on the couch and putting his head in his hands.

"Oh my god," Michael said, putting his hand to his mouth. "I didn't mean for that to happen. I swear."

Wyatt looked up at him and nodded. "I know. But it did." He sighed again. "Do me a favor?"

"What?" Michael asked, sitting down next to him.

"Just live with the brother we've got, okay? We'll get ours back. I promise. We just have to be patient," Wyatt said, looking over at Michael. "Just think of it as Chris is on a vacation, and we can't orb to him and he can't orb to us."

Michael smiled at that. He nodded. "Okay. I'll be patient."

"No more spells?" Wyatt asked, raising his eyebrows.

"No more spells. Promise," Michael said as Chris entered the room.

The two brother looked up at him and Michael opened his mouth.

"No. Don't apologize. It's okay," Chris said, standing in front of them.

"No -" Michael started.

"Yes it is. So just leave it at that, alright?" Chris asked, raising his eyebrows.

Michael nodded, smiling a bit.

"See? We still have our brother. This guy never even knew you and he knows you well enough to know what you were going to say," Wyatt said, smiling.

"Good point," Michael said, standing up.

Suddenly, Chris just pulled him forward and hugged him tightly.

Michael smiled and put his arms around Chris.

Wyatt got up. "I wanna hug, too," he playfully whined.

Chris and Michael smiled and pulled Wyatt into the hug.

Then there came a flash from the doorway.

"See, honey? I told you we'd need the camera. I know my boys," Piper said, smiling up at Leo as she lowered the camera.

Leo smiled and rolled his eyes, shaking his head.

The three faced their parents.

"Then I get the picture," Wyatt said, crossing his arms.

"I'll get copies," Piper said, smiling and raising her eyebrows.

"Deal," Wyatt said seriously. Then he cracked into a smile.

"What? Your own mother and father don't get hugs? I see how it is," Piper said, crossing her arms.

The three smiled at each other and ran towards Piper and Leo yelling: "Dogpile!"

O.O.O.O.O

Sorry. I just had to end it like that. I thought that was hilarious. Huh. Seems Michael doesn't like Chris that much, but he'll deal with it until his Chris comes back. Wyatt likes Chris. And he likes his Chris. So he just can't wait until he gets two in one.

And, as you can see, the brothers are very close. They're as close as Piper, Prue, and Phoebe were and as close as Piper, Phoebe, and Paige are. Just like any set of Charmed Ones should be. : )

Anyway, review please! Ciao!
