Part 2
*** 2005
Willow was dreaming, she was standing in the middle of what looked like a battlefield. Bodies of humans and demons lay strewn across the ground. Suddenly Chris appeared and Willow looked up at him, they locked eyes and she rushed forward to hug him. "Is this your dream or mine?" she whispered in his ear,
"Don't know, don't care" He pulled back and looked around them, "Where are we?" Willow looked around them.
"I don't know, I'm scared Chris, I'm scared that I'm not changing a thing and that this will all be a waste of time" Chris brought his hand down to Willows and intertwined his fingers with hers. Willow looked down at their hands and then suddenly felt like she was being torn away from the love of her life and she was powerless to stop it. They were struggling to hold onto each other, Willow felt her fingers slipping, "CHRIS!" Willow screamed as she was torn away from him, the last thing she heard was him calling out her name.
Willow shot up in bed, sweat coating her face, Piper, Paige and Phoebe burst into her room, "Wha.. What is it?" Piper said, her hands raised to blow something up. Willow raised her hands to calm them down,
"Its nothing" Willow rubbed her temples, "I had a bad dream that's all. You can go back to bed" Paige walked back into the hallway,
"Well thank heavens it isn't anything" Phoebe and Piper checked the room, Piper opened the window a crack while Phoebe checked the corners,
"The fresh air might be good for you. Remember, we're all right here in the house if you need us" Piper led Phoebe out of the room and closed the door, "Night" they said together. Once outside Piper turned to Phoebe, "She's keeping something from us. I know it"
"Her story checks out with Leo, everyone has secrets. She'll tell us when she's ready" Phoebe assured her sister, but she couldn't help the nagging feeling in the back of her mind. Meanwhile Willow let her head sink down into her pillow and remembered her dream.

"Are you sure this wasn't just a dream?" Leo winced as Chris glared at him,
"It wasn't just a dream alright! It was her, I felt herm I know it was her" Chris got up and started pacing, "Something's not right, I need to be there with her, she needs me" his voice was raising,
"And I need you here!" Leo stared at Chris, "I need you here with me. Do you think this is any easier for me? I love him too and it seems hopeless but I need you here to help me" Chris looked at his father and nodded. Leo walked cautiously over to Chris and put his hand on his shoulder, "You'll see her, I promise" Leo orbed away and Chris was left sitting alone in their house, his and Willows.
Walking over to the desk he picked up a picture of Willow, it was something taken just before she had died and she looked wonderful, he traced her face with her fingers and then placed it back in its rightful spot. Glancing around the room he had to smile, Willow insisted that just because the world was a dark place their home didn't need to be. He was amazed that in times of such darkness Willow was able to maintain a cheerful attitude. There was colour all around the room lighting up his life, but without Willow the colour seemed meaningless.
*** 2005
Willow had been with the Halliwells for nearly a month. The person she was in this lifetime had dies and since she was already a whitelighter there was only one of her left, which Willow was grateful for. "Hey Wills, I'm going over to Darrell's with Chris and Wyatt and Paige and Phoebe both have dates so it will just be you tonight" Piper was searching for her bag, Willow held it out for her, "Thanks Willow, you're an angel, don't wait up for us and have some fun, it seems that all you do is research demons" Piper called out as she headed out the front door with her sons.
Willow wandered through a San Francisco cemetery, remembering the inherent serenity she used to get combing a cemetery for vampires. She didn't like to bother the charmed ones with a small task like vampire slaying so she did it herself, that inherent goodness in her keeping busy. It was this night that she was walking through the cemetery when she heard the sounds of fighting, she turned the corner in time to see a familiar bleach blonde vampire dust two fledglings.
He turned around and Willow was so shocked to see someone who, for her she hadn't seen in over 20 years. "Pet?" Spike walked towards Willow in disbelief, Willow not thinking turned and began to run but Spike caught up with her easily and spun around so that she was facing him, "Pet, is that really you?" Willow tried to look anywhere but his face but when his blue eyes caught hers she couldn't help it and she hugged him, "But Pet, You... I saw..."
"I know" Willow lowered her head. "Come on, I'll explain more, but not here" Willow grabbed onto him and orbed him to the manor. She opened the door and then entered, "Come in Spike" she said allowing the vampire to enter.
Thirty minutes later Willow and Spike were sitting in the living room "Luv, what have you gotten into, I didn't know you could do that transporty thing and did you know that this place is surrounded with magic?" Spike looked around suspiciously, "Why aren't you dead?" Willow sighed knowing that she would have to explain sooner or later.
"I did die, you were there. I remember the pain, the demon caught me off guard and the poison stinger had stabbed me in the gut. But that was 24 years ago for me" Spike looked confused, "I was sent back in time to fix things; I didn't mean to run into you, technically no one should know, I only died a month ago. Anyway, what are you doing in San Fran?" Spike looked down at the ground,
"I missed you Red. Needed to get away for a bit, and who did I meet but you" Spike laughed slightly which was something that Willow had missed. The door to the manor opened and Piper walked in with Wyatt in her arms and Chris in her baby carriage.
"Oh, Willow, I didn't know you had company, I would have stayed at Darrel's or something" Willow laughed at the expression on Pipers face.
"I'll have you know, I am in love with someone but not with Spike" Willow motioned to Spike, "Spike is an old friend, Spike this is Piper and her sons Wyatt and Chris" Spike noted the softening in her voice when it came to Chris but didn't say anything,
"Old friend... does he know..." Piper trailed off,
"What? That Red here's a witch?" Willow cringed as Piper's eyebrow shot up in shock, "What? Did I say something wrong?" Willow smiled,
"No, I just hadn't told her that I was a witch, I'm a whitelighter Spike"
"Oh... so you're that creature the ex-watcher's researching for Peaches"
"Spike, I think maybe its best is you'd leave now" Willow led him to the front door, but before he walked away he stopped her
"Josie's 11 o'clock tomorrow night" Spike said and walked away. Willow stared at his retreating back; Josie's was a local mystic bar like Willy's. Willow walked back into the manor and to Pipers room where she was putting her children to sleep.
"Piper..."
"So are you going to tell me what that was all about?" Willow took a deep breath and sat down on Pipers bed,
"I was a witch before I became a whitelighter, the powers passed on when I became a whitelighter. Spike knew me when I was just a witch, but up until tonight he knew nothing about my whitelighter status"
"But... you said you were a whitelighter for 24 years, so either you're lying or this Spike character is much older than he looks" Willow winced at Pipers question, knowing that it was going to be hard on the mother.
"He's a vampire" Willow held her breath and there was a silence before Piper began to speak again,
"You let a vampire into my house? A vampire when I have my children here. What were you thinking Willow?" Piper began pacing and Willow knew she had to calm her down,
"He's a good vampire" Willow sighed when Piper shot her a disbelieving look, "He has a soul and a chip in his head which prevents him from harming humans. I group of military scientists used him in an experiment, one which made him almost die of starvation. He wouldn't hurt anyone, especially anyone I cared about. I swear Piper, if I thought that Spike was going to be a threat to anyone in this house especially the boys I wouldn't have invited him in. But Spike was someone that I could trust with my life" Piper looked at Willow,
"Okay, I'm sorry, I know you're our whitelighter, I should trust you. I do, I just..." Piper looked at her sons,
"I understand, you should get some sleep" Willow said placing her hand on Pipers arm, it glowed, soon Piper felt sleepy, "Get some sleep" she said again and then orbed away leaving Piper to fall into a deep sleep.

The next night Willow orbed into Josie's and spotted Spike sitting in a booth with a glass of blood. Walking over Willow plopped down next to him. Glancing up, Spike nodded at Willow, "You haven't told Angel have you?" Spike smirked,
"Really pet, you think I'd do something like that? Nuh, I know something that he doesn't and I'm going to keep it that way" Spike smiled as Willow laughed, "So are you going to explain to me what's going on?"
"Well its like I said, I'm from the future. After I died I became a whitelighter and have been for the past 24 years. I'm here to fix things for the people in my life, Angel, Buffy, you, you're all in my past" Willow said sadly and there was a shimmer of orbs and Leo appeared in the corner of the bar. His eyes focused suspiciously on Willow and Spike. "So Spike, how are things in the world of Angel?"
"Oh you know pet, people are still shaken up over your death. The Slayer's still distraught for obvious reasons, Xappers been less talkative. But we get by, fighting the good fight" Spike stared at Willow, still in disbelief that someone who had died a month ago was sitting with him, someone who he didn't expect to come back from the dead.
Leo narrowed his eyes, he could tell the man Willow was talking to was evil and he didn't like it. There was something about Willow he didn't quite trust, there was something she was keeping from him and that did not sit well with him. Willow laughed and Leo was pulled out of his thoughts.
"So luv, who's this bloke that you're in love with? That you mentioned to your little witchy pal" Willow's face dropped and the mood became a bit tense, "I'm guessing he's from... well you know... if you don't want to talk about it that's fine. I wont take offence" Willow smiled and reached out her hand and took Spike's hand in hers, she smiled softly at him.
"You're a good friend Spike, Thanks. I'd better be going, the disasters might need me" Spike nodded in understanding.
Leo stared at the charmed ones whitelighters hand on the man he knew was evil, she orbed away and Leo took a second to orb after her. Landing in the manor he grabbed her arm and she spun around to face him. "What are you doing?" Willow was confused,
"I know you're hiding something from me. What were you doing in a demon bar?" Willows eyes widened in disgrace,
"You were spying on me?" she cried and Piper walked down the stairs in her dressing gown.
"What's going on here?" Piper was rubbing her eyes and it was clear that she had been sleeping, Leo looked from Piper to Willow,
"She, was at a local demon bar, I don't trust her, she's keeping something from you and I" Piper looked at Willow and remembered the night beforehand.
"I'm sure she wasn't doing anything to harm us. Leo we all trust her. Shouldn't you be spending her time doing elder stuff? I think you should leave now, we do have lived we need to be awake for tomorrow" Piper sent Leo a look telling him to leave.
Leo looked dejectedly at Piper before looking suspiciously at Willow, he orbed away. Willow looked thankfully at Piper who yawned and headed upstairs again.
*** 2029
Chris lay down on his bed staring at the ceiling, it had been almost three months since Willow had left and things weren't improving. 'He' had been gaining even more power and Chris wasn't sure how much longer Leo could handle the situation without his emotions overcoming him. His life had become a boring routine, without Willow he felt empty inside.
Leo orbed into the room, "What do you want?" Chris said from the bed, Leo turned around to face him,
"Get up, its time" Chris shot up and looked at his father, Leo had a defeated look on his face. "He's gotten too powerful; we can't stop him so you're going back. I want you to know..." Leo glanced down at the ground and then back at his son, "I want you to know that I love you and I always regretted not being there for you" Chris looked at his father,
"I know" Leo looked surprised at the words, "Willow told me, and I want you to know that I've forgiven you" With that said Leo took Chris and gave him a brief hug, "So when do I go?"
"Three hours" Leo stood up and gave Chris one last look before orbing away. Chris stood there dumbfounded before breaking out in a huge grin,
"I'm coming for you Willow" Chris whispered to the air.
*** 2005
Thee months had passes and Willow was getting on great with Piper, Phoebe and Paige. Leo was still very suspicious of her and Willow found that hard, the man who had been like a father to her for 24 years after all. There was something in the air that morning. Willow knew something was going to change, but what, she couldn't be sure.
Phoebe bounced down the stairs smiling, "Hello Willow, wonderful morning isn't it?" Willow laughed,
"Whats got you so happy?" Willow asked and suddenly thought of Chris and she felt a wave of sadness sweep through her, Phoebe frowned,
"I'm happy, but you're not. What happened? I got a wave of sadness coming off you... anguish, despair..." Phoebe stumbled over to the sun room couch and sat down, "Whoa, those are some feelings you've got there" Willow ran and got Phoebe a glass of water,
"I'm sorry; I don't know what came over me. I'm not feeling myself today" Willow watched as Phoebe's expression turned to a worried one.
"Well do you want us to call Leo or something? Have him check you out?" Willow felt alarmed,
"NO!" Phoebe looked at Willow suspiciously, "I mean I'll be fine, I just need to get some rest or something" Willow continued, the last thing she needed was Leo poking around and finding out the reason she was upset. For all he knew she was from this time and there was nothing suspicious about her.
"Okay" Phoebe said studying Willow and then smiling again, "Well I have to go meet Jason for lunch"
"What's this about Jason?" Piper asked walking in with Chris in her arms and Wyatt behind her who had just orbed his favourite book to him.
"Jason's taking Pheebs here on a romantic date... I'm thinking he's going to propose" Paige informed her sisters and whitelighter walking into the room. Piper was about to say something when a wind swept up in the living room, all 4 women rushed untio the room to see what was happening .
What looked like a small cyclone was forming in the room, all of a sudden the wind died down and a figure orbed into the room, standing exactly where the cyclone had been. "Uh Leo!" Piper called and Leo orbed into the room just as Willow walked closer to the man and reaching out with her hand, stroked the lined of his face.
"Would someone like to tell me what's going on here?" Leo watched as the man grabbed hold of Willows hand and pulled her closer to him.
"He, just orbed into our living room" Paige explained to Leo, "Accompanied by a whirlwind"
"I..." Willow was lost for words; Chris put his finger to her lips,
"Shh. I love you too" he said before capturing her lips with his, their audience of Leo, Piper, Paige Phoebe, baby Chris and Wyatt oblivious to them.
"Well that was interesting" Paige commented as that couple pulled pack and stared into each others eyes.
