Hey is my first fanfiction. I thought it would be fun to try. Please review and don't be too mean with me. And remember that English is not my first language.
Changes in my story: Piper dies when Chris is 11 and Wyatt 13. And I watch the season finale a few times and I am pretty sure that Chris's last words were "you be there" not you either.
If I would own charmed you would be watching this on TV. I would have a lot more money. Chris would definitely be a regular cast member on season 7. And hopefully I would be sleeping with Drew Fuller. But.. you are reading this here, I am still poor. Chris is not in season 7 and I haven't even met Drew Fuller... does that tell you something?
CHAPTER II:
Leo looked at him and knew he owed him an explanation. He never before thought it was necessary to tell his sons about what had happened right before Chris was born. He and Piper decided that it was better for them to grow up without knowing, since they didn't know how it would affect them if they did. How would Chris react if he knew his future self came to the past before he was born to change the future and died in the past? And how would Wyatt react, if he knew that what the future Chris came to change was the fact that Wyatt was the source of all evil ? It was painful enough for them to live with those things and they didn't want their kids to have to go through that again.
They have been fearing Chris 23rd birthday all along. But of all the possibilities they never contemplate this one to happen. Yet, Wyatt deserved to know.
-"Well son..."He looked at Piper.. she was still lost in some random dimension of her thoughts. He wished he could get lost too, but his sons needed him "This is very hard to explain..."
Half an hour later the quiet of the night was interrupted by Wyatt screams
-WHAT???????????????? WHAT?????????" He said sobbing and yelling and completely out of control. He burst out of the room, slamming the door as loudly as he could, even when he didn't even need to close it.. he just needed something he could hit. Chris jumped a little in his bed and mumble "Daddy". Leo didn't know what to do, he wanted to run to Wyatt, but Chris was dying. Piper looked at him, he saw she was crying.. as she started walking to the door. He hurried to Chris, he knew his wife would help Wyatt a lot better than him
"I DID THIS??? It is all my fault!!!!!! I killed Chris.. not once.. but TWICE. GOD NOOOOOOO.." Wyatt run to the attic, just to find Phoebe and Prue there working on the spell. Phoebe tried to get near him and he pushed her away. "Don't touch me I AM MONSTER! I don't deserve any pity.. I should be the one dying"
He run downstairs.. Paige was in the kitchen, working on the potion, with her 2 girls. And his mom was following him everywhere. Everybody seemed concern about him. He didn't understand how they didn't hate him. The should be blaming him, yelling at him. But instead they were trying to console him. He didn't understand how did they raise him so dearly when they knew that he was a monster?
He orbed himself to a cold dark cave in the middle of nowhere hoping they wouldn't follow him. Yet, his family seemed to love him even after all what happened because of him. Paige orbed with Piper into the cave, he looked at him and said:
-"Its not your fault " Wyatt looked at her, tears clouding his vision, she knew he didn't believe her "I have to go back to the potion"
Wyatt nod and she orbed away. Piper approach her son. He was hugging his own knees, rocking back and forward and crying. She sit down beside him and started caressing him. He started shaking, trying to avoid his mothers touch.
-"I don't deserve that mom" he said
"Its not your fault, Wy "
"NAH??" he said with a tragic laugh, that sounded more like a sob "All this happened because of me.. and not once.. but TWICE. I killed my baby brother, my best friend, not once but twice!"
Piper got very serious and said kind of angry:
"First, and most important, your brother is NOT Dead.. and we wont let him die.. ok??? Second it wasn't your fault, you are not that Wyatt, you are a good Wyatt, and he gave his life to achieve that.. by acting like this all you are telling him is that all his hard work wasn't good enough. He was willing to forgive you, you need to forgive yourself, specially since you didn't do any of those things. Third, if it was someone's fault, it was Gideon's cuz he is the one that traumatized you in the other world and he is the one that stabbed Chris 23 years ago. Fourth, you wanna repay your brother for what he did, he needs you right now, to help him get better and when he gets better, he needs too see the result of his work. You turned out to be a great brother, that was all he wanted. He will be very pleased. So.. stop being selfish right now, and start focusing in what Chris needs... ok?"
"ok, Mommy" he said sobbing. Piper dropped the act, it was killing her to see her baby so desperate.. she hugged him and he started crying loudly. "I am soo scared mommy"
"I know baby.. I know.. but right now Chris need us, and need us to be strong, ok?"
"aha" he said while he held her as tight as he could without hurting her, orbing with her to his parents room where Chris was.
Leo was leaning over his son's weak body, he was so scared and he didn't know if he had the strength to go through this again. But Chris needed him, so he had to be there for him.
-"Daddy" He said again.
-"I am here buddy, hold on, ok? We ll find a way out of this, k?" he caressed his hair "We all need you Chris, we all love you, hold on for us ok?" He was trying hard not to cry but he wasn't being very successful.
Chris opened his eyes, and looked confused at his father.
What..where...?" he started saying but Leo stopped him
"Hey buddy" smiling weakly at his son, he put his finger over Chris's lips "Shh, don't talk, you need to save your energy, ok?? Everything is fine.. everything is over, you are in 2026 and you are safe, and the future has been saved and Wyatt is good and he loves you very, very much. We all do and.."
At that moment white lights started forming some human figures near him, he saw his mom and Wyatt orbing in.
"Mommy" he said.
But Wyatt run to him and hug him so tight it was hurting his already aching body.
"I am soo sorry Chris, all this is my fault, I am so sorry, please, please, please forgive me" he said sobbing. He would have continue, if it wasn't for the fact that his dad remind him of his baby brother delicate condition and how probably hugging him out of air was not a good idea.
Chris tried to put his thoughts together but it was hard. He had a vague idea of what happened, he remembered the past, the time travel better than anything else. Probably because its just one set of memories and not two, that would make it easier. He did remember both his lives , all together, all mixed and all very confusing. But his dad said Wyatt was good and that everything had been change, and honestly, he didn't have the strength to fight it. For once, just for once, he wanted to relax and be taken care of. So he didn't care if this was real or an hallucination, if this was one of Wyatt tricks or whatever.. He weakly caressed his brothers head that was still laying over his body, he raised it and looked at him. Chris weakly smiled at him
Chris could feel the remorse, pain and fear in Wyatt's eyes, and big part of his heart sank. Most of his being loved his brother.. Even in the worst moments, in the worst of worlds, even after Wyatt lost all his ability to feel, he still loved Chris, in a sick, twisted way, but then... That is the only way that the source of all evil can love, right?
But Wyatt wasn't evil right now, he knew it, he felt it.
Now he remember the telepathy and empathy that he and his brother shared. That is why he could know so very good what he was feeling right now. That is how he knew all along that Wyatt wasn't born evil, but turned evil. He remember how since he was born he could feel his brother's pain and fear, and his attempts to control it. He knew whatever happened to Wy, happened before he was born because when he was born, the pain and fear were already there; and he knew how hardly Wyatt fought it. He just didn't know what caused that fear. Now it all made sense. He was a good brother at the beginning; and it wasn't his fault. It was stupid Gideon's fault, he had to remember that. Besides he had promise Leo he wouldn't hold the grudge.
-"Its ok, Wy" He said "I know you are a pain in the ass brother.. but what can we do??.. I guess I am softy.. cuz I still love u" he said jokingly.
Wyatt tried to smile, and honestly TRIED is the key word there.
At that point Chris became aware that there were a whole bunch of people outside his parents bedroom, he raised his head to see better.
There they were Phoebe and Paige; and Prue and the twins.. They were all alive!! so was Matt... and Jake was still there too. Or at least that is what it seemed.
Phoebe had married Matt, he was half worlock, half witch. He had been raised by his witch mother so he had always been good, though once in a while had to fight his own inner demons ( Piper always said that Phoebe always had a bit of an attraction to men with a dark side). According to Matt, Phoebe was his best weapon.. not only because her empathic powers helped her realized when those episodes were coming; but also because his love for her and their daughter, Prue, was what gave him the strength to fight.
They met through one of Phoebe's premonition. He was having one of his "episodes" as they call them. His mom had just been killed by worlocks that were trying to turn him to their side. The sisters helped him defeat the worlocks and overcome his mother's death without becoming evil (Chris always thought it was unfair that they couldn't help his brother with the same thing).
Prue was 16 now, she had become a very pretty young lady. Actually his 3 cousins were extremely attractive and he was very protective of them in both lives. Then he remembered that in this life Wyatt was even worst.. OUCH.. poor girls he wouldn't even let them wear a skirt or be alone with a guy. And they will run to Chris to help them escape Wyatt. Not that Chris had it any easier with his overprotective brother. That was what he liked the most about his cousins, when he was with them, he was the grown up and none of the girls treated him like he was this crystal object that could brake in any minute. On the other hand his parents and his aunts did, and now he understood why.. "Wow.. if you want to get some attention, go to the past and die on your family, they are sure going to overprotect you for the rest of your life".
Prue had straight brown hair up to her shoulders, brown eyes, a sweet innocent expression. She was sweet, quiet and of gentle nature. She was an empath, could levitate, she was working on her telepathy, she could manipulate the air and could shimmer away, a power that scared her a little since it was demonic. Never the less no one ever knew anyone as good as Prue, it was quite impossible to believe she was a quarter demon.
Paige, on the other hand had married Jake, as we saw before, a whitelighter. He specialized in taking care of young witches and had helped Paige all through her crusade to save magic school. Where they both worked right now. As head masters and teachers. Paige had twins (Penny and Patty), surprisingly enough, the same day Phoebe had Prue. They were destined to be the new power of 3, once their moms retire. The 3 girls were inseparable.
Patty was a sexy red headed girl, blue penetrating eyes and a spicy personality. She could always make everybody laugh, though her remarks were usually pretty cynic, quite like her mom. Patty favorite sport (to her male cousins delight!) was to break hearts. She could orb, was working on her healing abilities, she had the same orbing TK as her mom and could manipulate fire.
Penny was outgoing, loud, an explosion of energy. No one could help noticing when she entered a room, even if she tried to. She was blonde, grey eyes. She could orb, was working on her healing abilities, she had the same orbing TK as her mom and could manipulate water.
The 3 girls share a common telepathy and empathy among each other, quite like the one Wyatt and Chris did. The 3 girls were to be the charmed ones. Wyatt was the "double blessed" child. Chris was the glue, the cool headed one, the brain of the operation. The first one all run to if there was any kind of problem, because they knew he was the one that would figure it out. He was the one that knew all the spells and all the demons and always had the bright ideas. Even if Chris was still pretty powerful by himself, everybody knew he had a little of an inferiority complex, that made him work three times as hard as anybody else, so he could feel like he matched up to his family reputation. Everybody else, but Chris, could see how important he was in the family scheme. And having his parents and Aunts treating him as he was a frail baby all the time didn't help much to develop his self esteem in that sense. And that is probably what forced him to work so hard, to always feel the need to proof himself.
They had bought the land beside the manor an built more rooms, each family had a separate "wing" but they share the sitting room, dinning room, kitchen and other common rooms.
Chris was tired and in pain, but happy. Happier than he ever remember being. He laid down, and smile widely. Everybody around him smiled too as they entered the room. The girls were filled in on the story while making the potion and the spell, Jake and Matt had heard the story before. Piper, Leo and Wyatt looked at the bunch inquiring, their faces reflected that they hadn't find anything to help Chris. He noticed how everybody was worried, you didn't need to be an empath to feel the general sadness in the room. He tried to pull energy from somewhere, sit on the bed and ask with a smile:
-"So mom.. what's for dinner? I don't even get a birthday dinner? I am starving, can we go eat?" actually he was kind of hungry, not that he had the energy to go anywhere. Sitting on a chair seemed like an impossible task, but he was an expert at impossible tasks, right? And he would do anything to make his family stop worrying.
Piper laugh.. a few others smiled.
-"Well lets see...I was about to start cooking dinner when I got pretty occupied with something else" she smiled and removing the hair out of Chris's frown; she shivered a little when she felt how hot his forehead was, but she didn't let the others notice that "but well I guess we can fix something in a few minutes . why don't you take a short nap while I prepare some food, ok?"
Chris knew that sleeping was admitting he was weak, but he couldn't stay awake any longer. He smiled at his mom, and laid down, everybody left while he slowly closed his eyes.
