A few weeks had gone by and Sam was now a part of the family. The sisters loved her. Wyatt simply adored her. But Chris was still having reservations about her.
Sam had just finished making dinner when Chris orbed into the kitchen.
"Where are the sisters?" He half yelled out.
"Well hello to you too." Sam said with a smile.
"Where are they?" Chris put his hands on his hips.
"Well Piper is at P3. Phoebe is on a date with Jason. And Paige is at her temp job."
"So you're here alone?"
"And you have a problem with that?" Sam started into the salon. "Hey there sexy." She picked up Wyatt. "Are you ready for some dinner?" She kissed him on the cheek.
"Well I have a lead on a demon."
"And?" Sam walked into the kitchen.
"And I need the sisters to vanquish it." He answered rather snotty.
"Someone sounds a little crabby." Sam smiled at Wyatt. Who giggled in return.
"I'm not crabby."
"You are too." Sam got Wyatt's food and began to fed him. "Are you hungry?" She waited for a second. "I was talking to you, Chris."
"What?"
"Are you hungry?"
"Why?"
"I made some spaghetti if you want any."
"I don't have time to eat."
"Seems like you don't have time for anything."
"And what's that supposed to mean?" Chris gave her a confused look.
"When was the last time you had some fun? Got wild? Acted like a twenty-two year old and not like an old fart?"
"Like I said I don't have time for this." He huffed out then orbed out of the room.
"Sounds to me like he's never gotten wild a day in his life. Bet his never even had a girlfriend." Sam giggled to herself.
Then the thought of what Chris might be like on a date flashed in her mind. She slowly smiled then gave Wyatt another spoon full of food.
"Where does she come off talking to me like that?" Chris said as he paced back and forth in the little office at P3 he called home. "She has no idea what's really going on here. I'm trying to protect Wyatt. To save him. I don't have time to play around. I have to stop who or whatever it is that turns him evil and do it fast."
"Talking to yourself, Chris?" Piper said coming into the room.
"What?"
"Oh nothing." Piper grinned grabbing a few papers off the desk in the corner before turning to leave.
"Am I crabby?" Chris slowly asked as Piper opened the leading back into the club .
"What?" Piper shut the door then turned to face him.
"Am I crabby?"
"Well. . ."
"I am?" Chris sat down on the couch placing his head in his hands.
"You can be." Piper sat next to him. "You're to focused on finding this evil and destroying it that you never just take a moment for yourself."
"I just want to stop it and get back to my own time. Is that so bad?"
"No it isn't, Chris. But you can't let it consume your life. You have to step back for a minute and relax. Otherwise it will drive you crazy. And we don't want a crazy whitelighter on our hands." She smiled.
"Maybe you're right. Maybe I need to just stop for a while and relax."
"That's the spirit." Piper smacked him on the leg. "How 'bout you come out there and I'll buy you a beer."
"Ok." Chris smiled. But his smile soon faded.
"What is it?" Piper looked concerned.
"It's Sam. I think she's in trouble."
"Wyatt!" Piper screamed. Chris took her hand and they orbed back to the manor.
"Make another move like that and you're a dead man!" Sam screamed out.
Chris flung open the bathroom door.
"What the hell?" Sam said turning toward the door her hands up ready to fight whatever was there. When she realized it was just Chirs and Piper she quickly covered herself with a towel.
"Oh sorry, Sam." Piper chuckled as she walked over to get Wyatt out of the tub.
"Who were you screaming at?" Chris asked looking Sam up and down before looking around the room.
"Wyatt. Why?"
"Why were you screaming at him?"
"He was splashing me." Sam said giving Chris a strange look. "And I wasn't screaming at him."
"He does like to do that when he's getting a bath." Piper gave her Wyatt a smile. "You like to get everyone wet. Don't you?" Wyatt giggled. "I'll finish getting him ready for bed." Piper turned and left leaving Sam and Chris alone.
"Do you mind?" Sam gave Chris a dirty look.
"Why'd you take your top off to give him a bath? Do you always give him a bath in your bra?"
"Did you not just hear what I said. Wyatt likes to splash around in the water. I didn't want my top getting wet so I took it off." Sam dropped the towel she had covering herself then slipped her t-shirt back on. "What do you care?"
"I don't." Chris just stood there staring at her. God she was beautiful. He thought to himself as he slowly watch the fabric of her t-shirt slide down her body.
"Wyatt's in bed." Piper said walking back toward the two of them "Can you take me back to the club?" She asked Chris popping him out of the trance he seemed to be under.
"What?" He looked at her. "Um. . .sure." He took her hand and they were gone.
Sam looked in on Wyatt and smiled. He was such a good baby how could he ever turn evil? She slowly closed the door then headed back downstairs. As she walked into the kitchen she couldn't help but smile to herself.
"Are you gonna show yourself or just stand there in the corner watching me?"
"Sorry." Chris slowly walked out of the shadows.
"So have you come back to yell at me some more?" Sam started to clean up the dinner dishes.
"No." Chris looked down at his feet. "It's just that. . ."
"You're here to stop Wyatt from turning evil." Sam put the dishes in the sink to soak.
"Right." Chris looked up at her suddenly. "Wait I never said anything about Wyatt being evil. I said I was here to. . ."
"Save it Chris. I know why you're really here."
"What? How?" He came around the island to stand in front of her.
"I could see it in your thoughts."
"Hold on a sec. You can read my mind?" His face turned bright red.
"I see a glimpse of what your thinking that's all. I can't read your mind." Sam smiled and walked past him. "And by the way, I thought you didn't like me?"
"What?"
"Nothing." Sam smiled again.
"I have to stop him from turning evil. My future depends on it." He looked so desperate. "If only the sisters would stop fooling around and get down to business I'd be back in my own time by now. But no they have to have lives. Have to have boyfriends and day jobs. Isn't bring the Charmed Ones good enough for them?"
"Do you ever shut up?"
"What?" Chris took a deep breath. "Why should I shut up. I mean I'm just stating a fact here. If the sisters. . . ."
Suddenly Sam did something that shocked not only Chris, but herself as well. She walked over and kissed him. She didn't even let on that she was going to do it. She just walked over, pulled him close and kissed him. At first Chris started to pull away, but soon he was kissing her back. But that ended quickly.
"What the hell did you do that for?"
"It shut you up didn't it?" Sam lightly laughed then went to start the dishes.
"So you thought if you kissed me I'd stop talking about demons?"
"Well you did. Didn't you?"
Just then Wyatt started to cry. Sam looked at the monitor on the table and got a strange look on her face.
"Something's wrong." She said then orbed upstairs. She was right. There were two cloaked figures standing over Wyatt's crib. Wham! She vanquished the first one, but the second got off a fireball before she could attack. It hit her in the shoulder sending her flying into the wall.
"Sam!" Chris yelled as he orbed into the room. Without even thinking he produced an energy ball and vanquished the last demon.
"I knew there was something else you were keeping from me." Sam made a face as she touched the wound on her shoulder. "You're a witch, aren't you?"
"Are you alright?" Chris helped her to her feet.
"Yeah I'll be fine." She looked over at him to see his reaction when she made her next comment."Too bad Leo isn't around to heal this."
Chris' eyes lit up at her comment but he didn't say anything.
Sam got to her feet then went over by Wyatt. "It's ok, sweetie. I'm here." She picked him up and kissed his forehead. Wyatt slowly calmed down and rested his head on Sam's shoulder. Then right before her's and Chris' eyes he healed her wound.
"He did not just do what I think he did. Did he?" Chris sounded a little jealous.
"I think he did." Sam looked at her shoulder and the wound was gone. "Well aren't you full of surprises?" She kissed him again then walked over to the rocking chair in the corner. "I'm going try to get him to fall back to sleep."
"I guess I'll go then." Chris looked at Wyatt and instantly Sam knew he was jealous. Not because Wyatt had healed her. But because Wyatt was in her arms and he wasn't. Sam smiled and began to rock Wyatt back to sleep.
Wyatt too sensed something in the way Chris looked at his nanny and smiled before Chris left the room. A few minutes later he was fast asleep. Sam put him back in his crib.
"Sleep tight, sweetie." Sam brushed the hair off his face and smile. "No one is gonna to turn you evil if I have anything to say about it." Wyatt sighed and Sam left the room.
Once out in the hall she got this tingly feeling over her entire body and that's when Chris orbed in standing a few feet in front of her.
Lips met lips with such intensity that both of them could hardly breath. Chris began to tug at the fabric of Sam's shirt pulling it over her head and tossing it to the floor. Sam grabbed a hold of him tightly and began to lead him across the hall to Piper's bedroom. Once inside the room Sam continued her way over to the bed. She let herself fall backward on the bed making Chris fall on top of her. She let out a soft moan. Chris rolled on to his back pulling her on top of him. The kisses continued.
God he felt so good. She told herself as she pulled his shirt over his head. Her lips moved from his to his neck then she began to kiss a slow wet path down his chest. Chris sighed and whispered out a name.
"Bianca."
Sam stopped mid kiss and jerked to look at him.
"What did you just say?"
"What?" Chris looked up at her.
"Did you just call me Bianca?"
"No." But he had.
There he was lying on a bed kissing Sam and had called out another woman's name. Was he that stupid?
"Yes you did." Sam rolled off him and the bed in one quick movement. "What the hell was I thinking?" She walked out into the hall only to come face to face with Paige.
"Yeah there." Paige said with a raised eyebrow. "Is this your?" She held up Sam's top.
"Thanks." Sam grabbed it and put it back on.
"Wait, Sam." Chris came out of Pipers room. "I'm sorry."
"Did I miss something here?" Paige asked with a slight laugh.
"Save it, Chris." Sam was pissed off. "Wyatt is asleep." She looked over at Paige. "I'll see you in the morning." Then she orbed away.
"Um, ok." Paige looked at Chris, who was still shirtless and frowned. "What did you just do?"
He didn't answer her. He just went back into the bedroom, got his shirt and orbed away.
