Chapter 16
Wyatt could barely contain himself as he and Autumn sat waiting for Chris and Amber's arrival. He was still in shock over what has happened in the past few hours. Finding out he was going to be a father, planning his wedding to Autumn and now he was finally going to get his brother back. It all seemed as if it was all a dream and he was going to wake up soon. The thought of having his whole family under one roof again brought a smile to his face. Sensing his happiness Autumn spoke up putting her hand on his shoulder "Don't get ahead of yourself honey, remember this meeting can go either way". Seeing his smile fade broke her heart. "I didn't say that it would go bad, I just want you to wait and see how things go" Brushing his shoulder length blonde hair out of his face he replied with a simple "Ok". Autumn then continued "One thing you have to promise me. You have to keep your temper in check, even if things don't go your way. We don't want to scare Chris off again, if you do we'll lose him forever this time" She received a smile from the man. She's phenomenal, he thought. She always knew just what to say to him. "Yes honey, I promise to keep my temper in check." He finished he finished kissing her on the cheek and staring deeply into her eyes. "Besides" she said "learning to control your temper will come in handy when you handling the baby, because I'm not sure if you know this, but they do cry." That earned her a laugh from the usually emotionless witch. There moment was interrupted when the sound of orbing filled the air.
Chris approached his brother with caution. After the men stared each other down for a long minute, the younger one spoke up "Hey Wy" He was hoping that his brother wouldn't try to kill him, he shook away the fear and took another step forward. "Hey Chris" the man finally responded. Sensing the questions running through the minds of both men, Amber voice broke in "Let's get down to business, shall we?" The two then took a seats across from their counterparts. Autumn then said "Ok, you guys go first" Nodding her head at Chris the boy listed his demands "Wyatt firstly I want you to give up your powers, not just some but all." Hearing this the older man tensed up, noticing Autumn immediately took his hand in hers. She then turned to the boy "continue". "OK I also want you to rebuild the states and make a promise to never kill again" Now that Chris was finished it was Wyatt's turn. "First of all your first term is unacceptable. I have family to protect and giving away my powers would only result in their deaths and that would include yours and your girlfriend. And I would hope that you wouldn't want your niece or nephew in harms way." "You have to see how ridiculous that is Chris" Autumn added. Then Wyatt continued once more "Here's what were offering. Since I have limited time reversal powers I will go back to right before the attack that killed your friends. I'll also put a spell on the four of us so we'll remember everything. Then I will put the city back to the way it was and I'll take care of the rest of the country later. All this will happen on one condition. That you get them to stay away from me and my family. Oh and you have to live with us in the underworld" looking at Amber he added "Amber is welcome to join you" The two then started whispering to each other with a series of nods before finally speaking. "That's all fine by us, but you have to call off your demons. You have to give them orders not to hurt anyone else, unless they've tried to attack a member of the family." the younger Halliwell finished. "I agree to those terms, so do we have a deal?" the man asked as he rose to his full height. This made the rest stand. "Deal" Chris said as he tried to shake his brother's hand, but instead of holding his hand out, the man pulled the smaller boy into a tight embrace. The two were brothers once again.
After a few minutes of hugs and kisses among the four and a half family members Chris finally spoke. With his arms once again around his brother "it's good to have you back man." "Same here Chris, same here." "Ok if everyone's ready we can go home now" Autumn said reaching for Wyatt's hand but was shocked when he pulled away." "First things first". He closed his eyes and concentrated. Suddenly their surroundings started to whirl around making the already nausea women feel even worse. When the spinning finally stopped they were standing in a building full of Alliance members. Once they noticed Wyatt's presents everyone froze. Steve was getting ready to strike when Chris yelled out "Stop, don't hurt him" "I knew it" called out one of the members "he's been working for his brother all along" "No it's not like that" Chris screamed back. "Once everyone was silent again. Chris filled them in on the events that had taken place and the terms of his agreement with Wyatt. After a heated debate among the Alliance members they finally agreed to the terms. Wyatt then went to work on a spell to rebuild the city. Once it was complete he restored the city and it's surrounding areas along with running water and electricity, it was as if the city was never destroyed. After their work was done, the four left the remaining members of the city to rebuild their respective lives.
Once they were back out on the street Chris walked along side his brother as the girls followed close behind. "I can't believe it" Chris spoke looking at his surroundings. "I never thought that I would see the city look like this again" Wyatt replied putting his arm around his brother "Neither did I. But I'm glad things are starting to get back to normal. I'm also exceptionally grateful that I have my little brother back" he said ruffling the boys' dark hair. "Hey now," the boy responded "don't push it bro". Coming in between them and wrapping her arms around the waist of both men Autumn spoke "I know you guys are having a major love fest and all but we have a wedding to plan and a baby to get ready for." Getting her meaning both men grabbed the hands of the women they loved. Before they flamed out Chris spoke once more "Come on guys let's go home" with that they all headed to Wyatt's mansion in the underworld as one big happy family.
