Phoebe, Paige, Leo and Chris all waited patiently for Piper to join them in the Great Hall of Magic School, the same area they had gathered only recently to celebrate finally saving Wyatt.

"So what's this all about?" Paige asked to anyone willing to shed light on why they were meeting.

"Phoebe didn't tell you?" Leo asked.

"I thought we'd just all tell her together." Phoebe cut in before Paige could answer.

"Why the mystery?" Paige asked again, starting to get really curious.

"There's no mystery, it's just…" Chris started to say, but was interrupted by Piper.

"Wyatt's in the nursery," she said as she waddled in the room. "Okay, what's going on?"

"That's what I've been asking." Paige said, raising her eyebrows in frustration.

"It's probably nothing," Leo started to say, "but Chris told Phoebe and I about the dreams you've been having, Piper."

"Yes. So?" She said, looking around at everyone. "It's not unusual to have bad dreams, especially when you're nearly nine months pregnant."

"I know, but I've been having bad dreams as well," Leo said, and then corrected himself. "Actually, I wouldn't call them bad dreams, they are more like someone is trying to send me a message or something. It's really hard to explain, they are like nothing I've ever experienced before. Is that what yours are like?" He asked Piper.

"I hadn't really thought about it," she said, "we've had so much going on lately, I just thought it was because there was a lot on my mind. You know how dreams get all mixed up and don't make any sense."

"Well can you think about it now, please Mum," Chris asked her.

"You really think these dreams mean something, is that why we're gathered here?" She asked Leo.

"Honestly, I don't know, and yes that's why we're here." Leo answered.

"Don't we have enough going on in our lives already? Do we have to go looking for something else to worry about?" She asked, exasperated.

"It's the timing more than anything, Mum," Chris started to explain. "Just before I came back from the future the Leo in the future came to see me to tell me about these strange dreams he'd been having. He also said he felt like someone was trying to send him a message. That was the day before I travelled back in time, and now before I'm due to travel in time again, this Leo tells me the exact same thing."

"That is strange." Paige agreed.

"Yes it is a coincidence," Piper said realising this conversation was not going away anytime soon. "Did I have these dreams in…" Piper started to ask, but then stopped when she realised it was impossible for her to have dreams in the future if she had already died.

"No you didn't," Leo answered, anticipating the rest of her question, "I already asked Chris that question."

Chris and Piper shared a look, knowing without saying anything that they would keep that information their secret.

"Can you describe to me what your dreams are like?" Leo asked her.

"Okay fine," she said, and then closed her eyes, but immediately opened them again. "You know, I thought a few normal days before I gave birth wasn't too much to ask," she said and then closed her eyes again. Two seconds later she opened them again, "After all we've been through, a few normal days! That's all!"

"Piper, I'm sorry, but…" Leo started to say, but Piper interrupted.

"I know, I know, you think it's important." Piper said looking at him.

Leo nodded and she closed her eyes again. This time everyone remained silent, waiting to see if she would continue her protests, but she didn't this time. Instead you could see in Piper's face she was trying to picture what she had seen in her dreams.

"Dark figures, lots of dark figures and they're moving in circles I think?" She tried to describe. Suddenly she opened her eyes, startled.

"What is it?" Phoebe asked her.

"I'd forgotten until just then. I saw The Source." Piper said.

"Who's The Source?" Chris asked, perplexed.

"Way before your time, honey," Piper told him.

"Thank goodness!" Phoebe added.

"Yes, okay, but who is he?" Chris asked again.

"He was the Demon of all Demons. Head of the Underworld. The Epitome of Evil." Leo described.

"Okay, Dad, I get it, he was one of the bad guys." Chris said cutting off Leo's long list of descriptions. "What happened to him?"

"We vanquished his sorry ass." Paige said, proudly.

"Well, if he's been vanquished then why would you dream about him? Is he still a threat in any way?" Chris asked.

"No, I don't think so." Piper answered, not completely sure.

"No, he's not a threat anymore, but maybe you seeing him symbolises something." Leo suggested.

"Maybe," Piper agreed and then asked Leo, "What about your dreams, what are they like?"

"Similar, actually." Leo said. "Mine had the dark figures as well, and they were moving in a circle, or maybe more of an oval. No Source, but there was a Darklighter in there and I think Gideon appeared somewhere." He said trying to remember.

"Ooh, mine had Gideon too. I don't exactly remember how, but I do remember seeing him there." Piper said suddenly. "Probably because I see him so much around here, and we've had so much to do with him lately, he's just stuck in my subconscious."

"I don't know, you've both dreamt about Gideon, and you've both dreamt about your biggest threat. Piper yours was The Source and Leo, yours is of course a Darklighter. There does seem to be a message in there somewhere."

"What, you think that maybe Gideon is in danger?" Paige suggested.

"Maybe there is an evil after Gideon?" Phoebe went further to suggest.

"I don't know?" Piper said not convinced. "That doesn't feel right."

"I don't know either," Leo said, "But it won't hurt to warn him, just in case."

"Why don't we wait until tomorrow, see if we have the dreams again tonight." Piper suggested.

Leo thought about that for a few seconds. "Okay, we'll wait until tomorrow. I'll meet you here for breakfast."

Piper smiled, "That'd be nice, and Chris you come too. It would be nice for this family to have a meal together, even if it is just breakfast." She looked at him and as he was about to open his mouth to answer she added, "Don't you dare tell me no. For any reason."

The look on Chris' face was one of familiarity. He knew that tone in his Mother's voice, and he knew there was no sense objecting.

"I wasn't going to say no, honest." He said.

Piper looked at him suspiciously, then smiled. "Great that's all settled then." She said.

"Just one question I want to ask before we finish," Chris said before anyone could stand. "If the dreams that you both had meant that an evil was after Gideon, then why did Future Leo have them? There was no Gideon in the future?"

"Good question." Phoebe said.

"We'll wait to see what happens tonight, and we'll discuss it tomorrow, because I've really got to pee," Piper said, as she very awkwardly tried to stand.

Chris and Leo immediately put their hands out to help her up.

She gratefully took both of them.

"Thanks, boys," she said and then rather urgently waddled toward the door.

"It's getting late, I'll see you guys tomorrow," Chris said as he orbed out.

"Did you two want to come to breakfast?" Leo asked both Paige and Phoebe.

"No, I think it should just be the four of you. Probably the last time you'll get to be a family together before we send Chris back to the future." Phoebe said, sadly.

"You're right," Leo agreed.

"How are you two getting along now?" Phoebe asked.

"Better, I think. It's hard when he just won't open up. Every time I try to talk to him he gives me a one-word answer and leaves. It's very frustrating." Leo said, a little despondent. "It's still hard to wrap my head around how I've treated him, or am going to treat him. It just doesn't make any sense, I'm not like that."

"No, you're not, we all know that, but obviously Chris has only ever known the other version of you." Paige said, trying to console him.

"That's just it, Paige, the other version of me, IS me. I wonder what happens to make me be the person he has described?" Leo asked.

"Hopefully that's all changed now, anyway." Phoebe suggested.

"How are you coming with the spell?" Leo asked them.

"It's a tough one. The wording has to be perfect. I'm going to meet with Gideon tomorrow and go through it with him." Paige said.

"The spell does worry me. I might stay here for a little while and do a bit of reading about the spell and the potion. I'll see you in the morning." Leo told them.

"Okay, don't stay too late. Paige will you give me a lift?" Phoebe asked.

"No problem. 'Night Leo." Paige said.

"Night." Leo said to both of them as they orbed out.

Leo turned to the pile of time travel books that had been left on a nearby desk. He walked over to them looking at the different titles. But he wasn't really reading them, because he was thinking about Chris' journey back to the future and how worried he was about him making it safely. He'd spent most of the time Chris had been with them suspicious of him, and as a result being really hard on him. Chris had taken it all, though, never once breaking down or giving any hint that he was Leo's son. He certainly was a tough kid, Leo had to give him that. Leo had been sure Chris was the one who sent him to Valhalla, and he still was now, especially because he knew how much Chris hated him in the future. He didn't care anymore if it was Chris, that was not important to him. The most important thing to him at the moment was getting Chris back to his own time safely. He was beginning to think the only way he would be completely sure of that was if he was to go too. Just for a little while to make sure that Chris was okay, and hopefully also make sure that he had changed. It would be a great relief to know for sure that whatever had made him the Leo from Chris' future had not happened this time. He realised as he sat at the desk that he had made up his mind to go with Chris. Now all he had to do was figure out a way to tell Piper.
