Chapter 2: Different Lives
A/N: Thanks to all who reviewed. You are so kind. Sorry for the sort of boring chapter but I needed to explain about Chris' family. The next Chapter will include Bianca, the past Charmed Ones and some demon activity
Phoebe looked at her nephew taking in what he was saying, having suspected it all along. Chris told her of his most recent memory; being stabbed by Gideon. That's when she knew. He had returned. The 23 year old neurotic half- whitelighter that she knew from 2004, who had risked himself for his family had been aloud to enjoy the future he had helped create. He had not died like they had all believed. But what had happened to the Chris she had known for 23 years? True they were technically the same person, but they had different memories that had shaped who they are. There was so much about this reality that he didn't know… He didn't even know about Melinda…
Chris studied his aunt not sure of what to ask her first. Luckily, 15 years earlier , Phoebe had developed telepathy so she knew what her nephew needed to know. "Well the family's pretty big now", she said, "I have two kids. Prue's 19 and you already know about her. My younger daughter Penny, who you just saw, is 15 and she has the same powers as me: premonition, levitation, empathy and telepathy. We live across the street. Paige has three kids. Richard is the father. Pamela's 14 , she's a great kid. She has shape shifting, orbing and telepathy. Parker and Peyton are identical twins. They're 10 and they're trouble makers. Parker's a fire starter and Peyton can turn things into ice. Wyatt's married to a great girl named Lea and they have a beautiful daughter named Paris. She can already orb and freeze time, she's so adorable." Phoebe paused for a moment as Chris continued to gape at her.
"There's one more thing", she said haltingly, "You have a little sister". Chris' eyes lit up.
"Melinda?!, exclaimed Chris excitedly.
"How did you know?" asked Phoebe curiously.
"She existed in my time line too", he said sadly, "only she died when she was 3".
"She's 13 now and you're her hero like you always were", said Phoebe in a knowing voice.
Chris headed downstairs to face the rest of his family already liking this new time line. His family was very big and together. His mother and his sister were alive and well. He then remembered the one person who had helped him through his time in the past, the one person who wanted to save Wyatt as much as he. She was his sole mate, his reason for living. She was the reason he had gone to the past. It was for her, for their future. He looked down at the ring on his left hand preparing to ask the question to which he hoped had a happy answer.
"Aunt Phoebe", he said quietly, "where's Bianca?"
Phoebe looked intently at her nephew knowing this question was coming and feeling his love. "I'm sorry Chris", said Phoebe in a pained voice, "I don't know…"
