Over the past hour, a lot of things had happened, one of them being convincing Mahina's mother of everything. Not only was she surprised to learn that Mahina was going to be forth in her brood, but that she would have anymore children at all. When Mahina had been ten years old, she had heard her mother talking to Piper and saying that Mahina had been a miracle after being told she couldn't' have any more. Unfortunately though, the one thing that hadn't been cleared up was the identity of Mahina's father; just like Mahina, her mother was incredibly stubborn and refused to say if she knew any elders.

Chris smirked and looked towards Mahina, who was sitting next to where he was standing by the counter. "So THAT'S where you got it from," he said, "I almost forgot you were all as stubborn as you could possibly be." That earned him a hard jab in the arm by Mahina, to which he just laughed at. "NOW, our mothers will probably do Lamaze together, and we'll have the same sitters..."

"And Wyatt will form an unhealthy obsession with me BEFORE he becomes evil," Mahina finished, sighing and rolling her eyes, "that's just GREAT..." That was when both Mahina and Chris noticed the looks they were getting from the charmed Ones and Mahina's mother; it was like they were suspecting something but wouldn't come outright and say it. "Don't give us those looks," Mahina answered for them both, "we've been around each other practically since birth, it's like we're siblings." She looked at Chris. "Right?"

"Yeah, siblings, right..."

"....who have had sex with each other," Paige said, shivering. "Eww, that's kind of sick actually."

"Funny Paige," Chris said, "really funny." He looked at the table. "I suppose you want to know how it happened, don't you."

Pheobe made a face, Mahina knowing full well that she had gotten a full and uncensored vision of it the second she has touched Mahina's shoulder days before.. "I've already seen the event in full entirety," she said, looking around the room but mostly at Chris and Mahina, "but as to how it actually came ABOUT..."

"Fine," Mahina said, "but it isn't all sweet and light..." She hopped off the counter as Leo orbed back in; her voice was even toned and serious as she gave him a once over. "Good, you're just in time."

As they walked upstairs to the attic, Chris and Mahina leading the pack, Leo leaned over and whispered into the group of women. "Gideon knows Mahina's mother," he said, "but insists there is, and I quote, nothing 'inappropriate' going on between them."

"Wyatt had just killed the youngest of my sisters," Mahina said, giving her mother a terribly sad look as she and Chris stood behind the Halliwell book of shadows, "which I witnessed and heard her tell him with her last breath to go to hell and stay there."

Piper shook her head and looked at Leo; it was going to be their son who did this, their son who would kill and enslave. It would take years to get used to the idea...

"What did he say in response?" Pheobe asked, as no one else seemed able to answer at the moment, "that he would see her there?" She sighed. "Sorry, sorry."

"I don't know, he leaned in and said something before he set her to flames and shimmered out of the house with me." Mahina looked at Chris. "Your turn."

Chris put his arms around Mahina, and stood behind her. "He shimmered to where he was keeping me, in the attic of the Manor," he began, "telling me I had company now. He knew that he'd taken everything we loved away from each other, and thought we were completely destroyed." He kissed Mahina's head. "Which we were, but he wouldn't have left us BOTH alive if he'd been smarter..."

Mahina's mother smiled at Chris, one of those motherly smiles that said she understood; she'd always been good at calming him down, or comforting him. She'd been like his second mother, when Piper and the rest of the Charmed Ones went to go vanquish something, he and Wyatt had always been over at their house. Anyway, it was time for Mahina to continue the story.

"I was howling with tears, tears of pain, anger, and sadness. With my first sister he had taken our family book but had never been able to use it as long as one of us was alive. Someone would always be the eldest member of the family if we weren't ALL gone." Mahina smiled sadly. "I guess his obsession with me actually saved our magic for once." She cleared her throat. "Anyway, Chris picked me up, told me everything would be okay; he had a plan to make everything okay again."

"She told me I was crazy, but then I handed her something." Chris smiled a little. "Her family's book of shadows, which Wyatt had kept in the attic after finding he couldn't use it, couldn't touch it."

"I told him he was crazy, that there was no way to fix what had happened." Mahina looked at her mother. "I didn't think I was powerful enough to use the book."

Mahina's mother nodded, and looked at the three sisters. "It's true," she said, "Mahina would be the youngest of the line, whether or not she was the eldest by status of actually LIVING."

"Anyway," Chris said, " I told her I'd found a spell to go back in time in her book, because with Wyatt changing the book would only let evil touch it."

"He also told me I was the only one who could do it, because it was still my book." Mahina smiled. "I agreed, even though I wasn't totally sure I would get it right." She looked up at Chris. "He was our only hope."

Chris cleared his throat; they were getting close to the time itself. It was perfectly obvious to Pheobe that they were hiding something, even if she could only feel things from them. "So," she said, "you decided to get together one last time before you sent him back to us?"

"Not exactly," Mahina told her, "more like..."

"I told her that I would come back," Chris interrupted, "and I was holding her, and looking at her..."

"He didn't mean to let it get that far."

Piper gasped, followed by the rest of the Charmed Ones and Mahina's mother; Leo was just looking at them both like 'what would have happened if she HAD gotten pregnant?' but didn't really seem to expect them to answer. Mahina looked at her hands, and noticed that there was a ring there, where no ring had been before. She tugged on Chris' sleeve...

"I'm running out of time..."
