Chapter 1
The room was still painfully silent as the group studied their new guest trying hard to see if it was in fact future Piper and Leo or if they were demonic imposters. After a few more minutes of uncomfortable silence,it was past Piper who spoke.
"Who in the blue hell are you people?" she said eyeing herself and the other Leo not so willing to trust her own vision.
Although she was still upset about the way that her past self was acting towards her son, she decided that this was not the time to correct her mistakes "Listen we don't have time to explain right now. Find Wyatt and we'll tell you some of the things that you need to know later" the answer that she gave really didn't enthuse past Piper at all.
"How do we know that you're not some sort of demon working for the Order, or Chris for that matter" replied past Piper as she held up her hands prepared for a fight.
"Hey I got your demon right here lady! You know that's your problem, then she paused realizing what she had just said, our problem. We always distrust the wrong people, an attitude that is going to get someone we love killed" she finished tightening her grip on her youngest son, something that past Leo picked up on but said nothing about.
"What's that supposed to mean?" she questioned.
"Exactly what it sounds like" Future Piper responded in a softer tone, trying hard not to cry. "Look I will be happy to answer all of your questions later, but right now you need to save Wyatt"
"Well you two do share the same attitude" said Paige as she looked both women over.
Everyone gave each other an odd look knowing that every word the woman spoke was true, so they all set off to do their part in finding the boy.
As Chris, Piper and both Leo's watched the girls scurry around doing various task to find the young child each one shifted through their own thoughts. All Piper wanted to do was help her son and make sure that he stayed safe. Whereas Leo was trying hard to keep it together and not run up to his son, take him in his arms and drag him back to the future with him.
As for past Leo he was studying Piper hard trying to figure her out. Why is still holding onto Chris? He wondered as he watched her. The man could have sworn that he saw love in her eyes as she looked at the boy when she thought that he wasn't paying any attention. He wasn't sure what was going on, but he intended to find out. Although Chris was a different story.
He knew exactly what was going on and he couldn't have been more happy or scared. On one hand he was happy to have his Mom their, not Piper, but Mom the woman who loved him and cared for him instead of the stranger who hated and distrusted him. Then on the other hand he knew that keeping his identity was going to be even harder with her around.
Not only was she going to like his second skin but she was going to treat him, well, like her son which is something that her past self was going to find very strange which will cause her to search for the truth and once that happens, he wasn't going to be able to accomplish anything with the two constantly on his back all of the time. He just hoped that no matter what happens that he's able to do the one thing that he set out to all along, save his big brother.
"Found him!" Phoebe shouted before dropping the crystal onto the table.
"Alright then let's go" replied Paige as she grabbed a hold of both Phoebe and her Piper's hand. They were set to orb out when Past Piper spoke.
"Hey" the woman called out. "Make sure you two don't go anywhere until we get back because if you are me, there's a lot of things that we need to talk about. Oh and Chris I'm not talking back what I said, I want you gone"
"EXCUSE ME!" yelled Future Piper trying hard not to kill herself.
"See that's what I'm talking about. What makes Chris so important to you, me, oh whatever, all that matters now is saving Wyatt. We'll deal with the rest when I get back" with that the threesome orbed out.
"OH, I COULD JUST KICK MYSELF!" the woman screamed into the air before turning to her younger son. "Go help them and I'll explain everything when you get back. And I do want you to come back so don't listen to anything that I just said" she finished shaking her head at how awkward that the words she just spoke sounded. Chris was about leave but before he did, he leaned over and whispered into the woman's ear
"I'm so glad you're here Mom, thanks for the save" with that he orbed out leaving a tearful Piper behind.
Once everyone was gone Piper went over to her husband who was still in the same spot he was in since the moment that they arrived, obviously dealing with the shock of seeing their adult son alive and well again. Putting a hand on the man's shoulder she asked
"Are you ok honey?"
The man began to cry as he choked out the words "No, I'm not. I miss him so much Piper. And I don't think that I can handle losing him again"
"We won't that's the whole reason we're here Leo to make sure that he doesn't die" The sound of someone's gasp got their attention.
"Ok would one of you please tell me what the hell is going on and why I would give a damn about Chris?" the man shouted as he made his way to stand in front of the pair. Piper could see from the look in her husband's eyes that he was right to blow a gasket but before she could say anything Leo hit his past self in the face knocking him down hard.
"SHUT UP! YOU SHUT YOUR MOUTH" he yelled at the man who looked at him as if he were crazy. What could have happened between him and Chris during the next few months that would cause him to care about the young whitelighter so deeply?
"Leo please calm down, he doesn't know and it's not time to tell him yet. Just go down stairs while I talk to him" at first the man was reluctant to go but seeing the pleading look in his wife's eyes changed his mind and he did as she asked.
The second that the man was out of sight she walked over to his former self and helped him up off of the floor. She then looked him straight in the eye and said…
"I strongly advise you not to say anything bad to our…to Chris or about Chris in front of me or my husband because if you do I don't think that I will be so willing to stop him from hurting you. Look I know this has to be really strange for you and in time, you'll understand but for now I need you to give us some space, ok?" the man returned the stare more confused than ever.
"Ok, but first tell me why you're so protective of Chris? And how can I kick my own ass wouldn't we mirror each other's moves"
Piper wanted to laugh at the second question but deciding against it she answered his question the best way she knew how, without giving away too much.
"No, my Leo is a very different man than you are right now because of the loss that we have both suffered. And as far as telling you what's going on with Chris, I'm sorry Leo but I can't. Although I will tell you this, you need to be a lot nicer to Chris other wise you're going regret in the end, BIG time" she finished as she left the room in search of husband. It was seconds later that the man remembered something…
"Wait a minute" he called as he followed the woman "we're married again?"
