A/N: Sorry it took so long, but thanks for the reviews. Keep 'em coming!
Chapter 3 – An Unknown Mistake
Leo whipped around to confront the person who spoke.
"Gideon! What is the meaning of this?" Leo roared.
Gideon placed his arm around Leo and motioned for the two to walk together.
"You see, you let everyone find out the truth about Chris. He was right about future consequences. You never should have known. You should have made sure that everyone forgot whom he is. Now, you must go before the Grand Order of Elders and face judgment."
"This is insane!" yelled Leo, "He's here to save Wyatt and the future. We now trust him more, because he is being completely honest with us!"
Gideon tried to calm Leo down.
"I am sorry, Leo, but a mistake was made and you must deal with the consequences."
Leo glared at him.
"Deal with this," he said as he flipped Gideon off before orbing out.
Gideon just grinned and started talking to himself.
"The timing couldn't be more perfect! This will distract everyone enough so that I can get to Wyatt."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile, Leo had orbed into the manor to find Chris and Piper making cookies. He watched lovingly. They looked so comfortable around each other. Leo wished he could have moments like that with Chris. He knew there was a slim chance of that happening. He wanted to just enjoy the scene, but unfortunately, Chris had already sensed him. His son tensed and turned around.
"Leo, what would you like?"
"I just came to see my family. My WHOLE family."
Chris just sneered at him and prepared to orb out.
"Wait!" Leo yelled.
Chris did as he was asked, for once.
"What is it, Leo?"
"I need to talk to everyone."
"Why?" asked a very concerned Piper as she placed the cookies in the oven.
"I'll explain when everyone gets here."
"Fine, I'll go get my aunts."
With that, Chris orbed away. Leo and Piper stood in a very uncomfortable silence. Finally, Piper spoke.
"Let's go sit down in the family room. I'm sure Wyatt would love to see his daddy."
Leo nodded and followed her. When they got there, they found Wyatt sleeping peacefully in his playpen. Leo didn't want to wake him up, so he settled for just staring at his son. The uncomfortable silence was growing. Luckily, Chris orbed back with Phoebe and Paige wasn't far behind. Leo motioned them all to sit down.
"I have some news."
Everyone looked at him expectantly.
"I am scheduled to go before the Grand Order of the Elders."
"What?" Chris asked, outraged (being the only one who knew what the GOE is).
"Huh?" said the girls.
Leo quickly explained what the GOE is. All this did was confuse everyone more, especially Piper.
"Why do they want you?"
Leo explained the situation and Chris's face clouded over, as did the girls. When Leo was finished, Chris let loose.
"So what? They want you to sprinkle memory dust on everyone to forget about me? How do they know what's best? I've been to the future, they haven't. They have no right to judge!"
With that, Chris orbed out. Leo watched his son leave and sighed.
"I just don't know what to do," he said as he put his head in his hands. Piper put her arm comfortingly on his back.
"Don't worry about Chris, he's a survivor and will come around. As for the elders, they never were my favorite people anyway."
Phoebe and Paige could tell that they should leave and did so. Just as they were leaving, Piper and Leo embraced.
