I don't own Charmed or anything like that
Reminder:
The sisters are still trying to deal with the death of Chris and have tried to summon him from the dead.
The light began to disperse and a woman around the same age as the girls with dark hair stood in the middle of the room.
"Prue?" Piper cried incredulously.
"Oh my god!" Phoebe breathed heavily.
"Prue?" Paige was confused.
The woman placed her hands on her hips then turned around.
"What… wait… what am I doing here?" Prue asked staring at her sisters. "You guys cast a spell to bring me back? How could you?"
"Prue it wasn't for you trust me it was for Chris."
Prue looked indifferent. "Your boyfriend." she guessed huffily.
"No… he is my son… from the future." Piper wasn't really sure how else to put it.
"He came back to save Wyatt!" Phoebe chimed in.
"Her other son." Paige added stepping forward.
"I thought you were going to have a daughter…" Prue said still taking everything in unsteadily.
"Well, I had a twice blessed son instead! Isn't that great." Piper smiled clasping her hands together.
"Who Chris came back to stop from turning evil." Paige said.
"Yeah…" Prue looked around the manor examining the changes from Paige living here and the constant demon attacks. The manor had changed nearly beyond recognition for Prue.
"They summoned Prue?" Chris asked bewildered as he glanced into the living room. "What good is that going to do?" He asked icily.
"Well, maybe to take their minds off you." Clarence suggested.
Chris glared at him angrily.
"It was a suggestion." Clarence said coolly at Chris' reaction.
"The worst thing about dying." Chris started. "I didn't have a funeral. Everyone except the sisters will forget about me. It will be like I never existed." Chris looked at Clarence meaningfully, "You were remembered, the person who killed you will have paid."
"The person who killed you paid. I must say though Chris you can't watch the girls forever. They'll forget you soon too."
"No, they won't they… can't." Chris glanced into the living room where Prue stood arguing with the sisters.
"What do you mean he isn't up there?" Piper asked angrily.
"I mean I haven't seen him!" Prue replied sharply.
"Well where the hell else is he going to be?" Piper growled.
"How should I know?" Prue yelled.
"Ok, you guys need to relax." Paige stepped forward slowly. This was her other sister, she had the same eyes as Phoebe and the same shaped face as Piper. As they continued to squabble, Paige began to realise how much of her sister's lives she had really missed.
Completely ignoring Paige they continued.
"Why can't you let things go Piper?" Prue shot.
"Since when is my son a thing?" Piper asked angrily.
"I didn't say that! He isn't from this time. Things are different for him."
"He should still be up there!" Phoebe pointed out.
"Why are you agreeing with her Phoebe? You know she is wrong!" Prue yelled angrily.
"Well I miss him too we are all still grieving Prue it took us months to let you go!" Phoebe cried.
"Well when mum died you two didn't seem to care!" Prue screamed in a rage.
"I was 6 months old Prue!" Phoebe was reaching hysteria.
"Yeah and I was 4!" Piper cried.
Paige stood as the three fought. She couldn't say anything. What could she say? Suddenly it was like she barely knew these people.
"What about dad, huh Prue? You just brushed him away didn't you!" Piper seethed.
"He left us!" Prue growled.
"At least we made the effort!" Phoebe yelled.
"And he didn't!" Prue shouted.
"Oooh cat fight." Clarence walked into the room.
"Hey what if Prue sees you." Chris beckoned the angel back.
"She won't she's already dead. On the other hand she might see you." Clarence pointed out.
"Really?" Chris' heart began to swell, he could finally communicate with them, tell them his goodbyes, how much he ached to be with them, tell them how much he loved them.
"I wouldn't recommend it Chris. This isn't helping you move on."
Chris ignored Clarence and walked over to the door.
"No Chris." Clarence threw his hand into the air. Chris walked straight towards the door, he felt a force pulling him back. He pushed against it with his body, the more he pushed the more strain he felt. Even without lungs he felt his chest collapse under the strain, he kept pushing as hard as he could but the wall that was keeping him from his family stayed solid. Chris' knees buckled and he fell to the floor in exhaustion.
"I told you. You people need to move on." Clarence walked over to lazily and stood over him.
Chris breathed heavily and glowered at him, panting furiously.
"You need to work this out on your own Chris without their input. Everyone has to do it." Clarence explained calmly. Chris scrambled to his feet and returned to watching the sisters argument, that was now about him again.
"He shouldn't have even come here!" Prue explained.
"Thank god he did or my child would have been evil!" Piper said crossly.
"Yeah, in Chris' future witches are all killed and he has destroyed our city and people love in only fear. He came back to make everyone's lives better, our families. Where he grew up families didn't exist. Imagine a world like that Prue! He came to stop it from ever happening." Phoebe explained fiercely.
Prue's face softened. It finally hit her what was so important about this weird future boy. He was saving them. She realised that it was Piper's son, if it were her own she would feel the same, she wanted to help them but she could do nothing. It was like the kid never even existed.
"I can't help you guys. You can't see him. You need to grieve and move on. Your not going to see him again you need to understand that. Hopefully then you will be able to live normally." Prue explained in a Clarence-y voice.
"As normal as we can get in this house." Paige snorted.
Prue walked over to her and took her hand. "Thanks for you know taking my place and watching those two. It's great to know someone so brilliant is looking out for the family." Prue embraced her.
"Thanks," Paige felt warm, her sister was proud of her. She thought she hadn't done a good job at being the new witch on the block but obviously someone was very pleased with her efforts, she felt ecstatic.
Prue disappeared in a array of lights.
"If moving on means forgetting he existed… then I just can't do that." Piper sat on the sofa fiddling with a tassel on the end of her blanket.
"Not forget sweetie, remember and learn to live without." Phoebe hugged her sister tightly.
"Well I really need to go to work now and pick up my stuff, I'm going to stop by and get some coffee if anyone wants anything." Phoebe grabbed her coat and keys.
Paige replaced the spot where Phoebe by Piper.
"I'll have a bagel." She smiled.
Phoebe left slamming the door behind her.
"It's like she's forgotten." Piper sniffed.
"No, not forgotten, just continuing life." Paige soothed stroking her sister's hair gently.
"Please don't forget me mom."
