Chapter 4: Charmed Past and Future
A/N: Thanks so much for all your reviews. I love reviews. I own nothing (duh). I've decided to respond to my reviewers from now on because it's a nice thing to do.
DrewFan4Life: The only reason they acted 4 years old is because they were confused. Sometimes, at least in my experience, confusion causes children to regress a bit. Glad you like it.
charmedmel32: Thank you. You're so nice
Chris looked at his aunts, then back at his cousins. "I so don't have time for this", he said holding his head in his hands. This was all just too much. He had a feeling his aunts from the past would come too the future to check on him, but time travel is just to complicated. He had know idea how he could explain this to everyone. How could he explain that he had suddenly ended up in this good time line with no memories of it. His only memories were of a painful past that he wished he could forget. He didn't even know if he could face Wyatt…
Piper looked at her youngest son and 2 strange girls, not knowing what to say. She felt immense relief that her son was there, alive and well. But was he happy? And was he the same neurotic whitelighter she had come to love? Paige was concentrating more on the two twins. They looked so much like her. They were her children. They had long gotten over their shock and were playing some sort of hand game. As for Phoebe, she felt everything. Mostly she felt Chris' pain . It wasn't fresh, but it was still there, the pain of loosing a mother, of being abandoned by a father and tortured by a brother. It was from his old life. Luckily, Chris spoke first.
"I know why you're here, and yes it's me from the past. I'm fine, so now you can leave", Chris said.
They were dumbfounded. "It's really you", Piper whispered eventually. It was more of a question then a statement.
"Yes", said Chris, exasperated, " now you should leave before you come back. The young witch-whitelighter didn't even pause to consider the wrongness of this statement. Unfortunately his warning came a little too late.
"Chrissie!" Wyatt yelled, "Mom and I are here to take you to your party!"
"Oh no!" said Chris slapping his forehead. His past and future mothers shouldn't meet. There'd be dire consequences. And he really couldn't face his brother. Wyatt may not be evil but he could never forget what he did to him. Wyatt and future Piper walked into the room. .
"Get away from my family you shape shifting warlock!" said the older Piper ready to blow up her counter part.
"Whoa Piper, stop and think for a moment", said Phoebe, stepping in to be the voice of reason, "She's you from the past , from right after you found out what Gideon did to Chris. The Chris you thought that died, that's him."
The older Piper stepped back the reality of what she heard sinking in. "Oh", she said , slowly remembering, and understanding. "What's the matter Chrissie?" asked Wyatt concerned.
"Don't talk to me, you evil bastard!" yelled Chris bitterly.
Piper said, "Chris honey, you can't talk to your brother like that, he's not evil anymore".
Wyatt glared at his mother and his light blue eyes turned completely black. He said, "How do you know?…"
