Chapter 7 – I dream of Jamie

Leo and Jamie were sitting in the conservatory with Phoebe and Chris, who had just come home with a genie named Jinny. Jamie is sitting next to Chris, holding his hand, while Leo heals his shoulder.

"I could heal him, master. Your warrior needs his strength. My last master will be coming back for me." Jinny tells Phoebe.

"I think he's got it under control." She replies.

"Good idea, save your wishes."

"Did you get a good look at the demon?" Leo asks as he continues to heal Chris.

"I did." Phoebe tells him "And when we're done here I'll go up to the Book of Shadows and check it out. I also called Paige to see if she can keep an eye on Jinny for me."

"Thanks." Chris says to Leo.

"There is no need to guard me. Even if I was not bound to serve you I would do it anyway for sparing me from Bosk." Jinny says.

"Bosk?" Phoebe asks.

"My last master. He's cruel, even for a demon. And I would know. My bottle has been passed around from demon to demon for centuries."

"That's terrible." Leo says.

"You can not begin to know. That is why I got a message to Phoebe. I knew if she had my bottle she would wish me free."

"No wishes." Phoebe says. "I know all about Genies. You're tricksters."

"Listen. I gotta get back up there." Leo stands up "You think you can handle this without Piper?"

"Where is Piper?" Jamie asks.

"On a date." Jamie looks at Chris.

"On a date in the middle of the day?" He asks.

"Yeah, Greg works nights." Jamie sighs as Phoebe says Greg.

"Greg, Greg." Chris thinks about it for a second, then realizes who it is. "Greg, the fireman? You mean the one she's insanely sexually attracted to?" He looks at Leo. "Doesn't that bother you?"

"No. If it's makes her happy, that's all that matters." He tells him.

"Oh, come on!" Chris stands up. "What about all this forbidden lovers, you and me against the world stuff? That just doesn't go away."

"You know, Chris, it's a little late for male bonding. Especially since I'm petitioning the other Elders to send you back to your time." Jamie stands and looks at Leo.

"What!" She asks in disbelief.

"Wait," Phoebe says "Are you serious?"

"You look tense, master." Jamie moves over to Phoebe's shoulders. "Neck rub?" Phoebe bats her away with her scarf.

"Leo, you can't do this." Jamie looks like she's about to cry, Chris takes her hand.

"Even though Chris's intentions are good, his methods have put us all at risk. So, he's going back."

"You mean abandoning me again." He says.

"Look, you did your job, you warned us about an evil that was after Wyatt." Leo tells him. "I think we can handle it from here." He orbs out. Chris looks at Phoebe.

"I've gotta stop him." He says.

"Don't worry, I'll talk to Leo." Phoebe says.

"No, no, not Leo. Greg, the fireman. He's about to sleep with my mom." Jamie watches as Chris orbs out.

"I really wish you wouldn't do that." Phoebe says. Jinny puts her hands together and blinks. Chris orbs back in.

"What just happened?" He asks.

"Your wish is my command, master." Jinny tells Phoebe. She smirks. They hear the front door close.

"Alright, where's the Genie?" Jamie hears Paige say as Phoebe and Jinny walk into the other room. Chris walks to get his jacket. Jamie follows.

"Chris, talk to me." She says as they walk into the other room. He looks at her.

"There's nothing to talk about."

"What? What do you mean there's nothing to talk about. Number one: Leo just said he's trying to get you sent back to the future…" She stares at him. "I really didn't mean to make a pop-culture reference there." He sighs and continues walking. "Number two: What the hell are you gonna say to your mom? Huh? She's at her boyfriends house, and she doesn't know that you're her son." He finds his jacket and puts it on.

"Honey, listen, I can't talk about this right now. I have to go get Piper before it's too late."

"Chris…" He sighs and looks at her. "I haven't seen you for almost a week. Now you might be leaving. For good." A tear rolls down her cheek. He walks over and hugs her. "I can't lose you."

"You won't." He takes her chin in his hands and makes her look up at him. "I promise. Okay?"

"Okay." She nods. He tries to orb out, then sighs. They walk into the living room.

"Phoebe?" He asks. "Will you do something, please? I can't orb." A large diamond bracelet appears on Paige's arm. Jamie stares in surprise.

"Damn him." She curses.

"You know, Paige, if he won't listen to you, maybe he'll listen to his family." Phoebe continues their conversation.

"Most of them are dead. Remember, the feud."

"Please, we do not have time for this." Jinny says. "If Bosk captures me, Zanbar will rise again from the dust."

"It's just a city." Paige says.

"A city of magic. Bosk has been using his thieves to search for his former site. If he finds it and wishes it back, there will be no stopping him. That is why you must wish me free, master. If I am not a Genie, it will solve your problems and mine. I beg you."

"Hey," Chris says, ignoring them. "A little help here, please?" Paige's clothes change into a black evening dress.

"Okay, I'm losing my mind." Phoebe says. "Uh, Paige, go to Richard, deal with it so you can help us."

"Okay." Paige leaves.

"You." She turns to Chris. "I will help you get your parents back together but it has to be on my terms. Agreed?"

"Agreed." He says.

"Go get Piper, we could use her help." She turns to Jinny. "Uh, I wish that he could orb." Jinny puts her hands together and blinks. Chris orbs out. "And we need to find a vanquishing potion for that demon."

"Oh, yes, master."

"Phoebe." Phoebe says.

"Yes, master Phoebe." Jamie sighs as she follows Jinny and Phoebe up to the attic.

OOO

About ten minutes, Jamie was helping Phoebe make the vanquishing potion while Jinny looked through the Book of Shadows.

"He was my master once." She says as she flips a page. "And him too. And her."

"Boy, you sure got around." Phoebe says.

"How did so many demons get a hold of you" Jamie asks.

"Some bought, some stole." Jinny walks over to them "I changed town so many times I lost track."

"I'm sorry I can't set you free." Phoebe tells her. "But wishing is just too risky right now." Piper and Chris orb in.

"Okay, let's go." Piper says. "Greg's not gonna wait forever."

"Well, then you should dump him." Chris tells her. Jamie smirks at him.

"What is that supposed to mean?"

"He's just being over protective." Phoebe says.

"I take it you're the Genie." Piper looks at Jinny.

"Jinny." She says.

"Jinny the Genie." Jamie smiles.

"Of course. Who's the demon?" Piper asks.

"Uh…" Chris walks over to the Book of Shadows and looks at the page on Bosk. "He's a low level demon with minimal powers. There's a vanquishing potion."

"Yeah, that's what we're working on." Phoebe says.

"Good. Then you're almost done with me too." Piper says. "Okay, so what you're planning is summon him to us?"

"Yeah, that's what I was thinking."

"What's the rush?" Chris asks.

"Well," Piper looks at him. "not that it's any of your business but Greg's shift starts in a few hours and I won't see him for three days." Chris rolls his eyes. "So I'm gonna go call him and I'd put the Genie back in the bottle just to be safe. No offence, but we've been burned before." Piper leaves the room.

"Do you mind?" Phoebe holds the bottle up to Jinny.

"Yes, master." Jinny pouts as she goes back into the bottle.

"I feel so bad." Phoebe says as her and Jamie get back to work on the potion.

"As well you should." Chris says, Jamie and Phoebe both stare at him. He walks over to them "If we don't do something soon, I can end up half fireman instead of half Whitelighter."

"Oh, for goodness sake." Phoebe says.

"You're such a drama queen." Jamie tells him.

"Look, I'm running out of time here. So what do you say we get to use that Genie to make mom and dad... you know." Jamie and Phoebe both stare at him in disgust.

"Chris!" Jamie says.

"That's vile." Phoebe points her spoon at him. "And against the rules. I would think you wouldn't want to be conceived that way."

"Well, beats not being conceived at all." He says.

"Look, I told you I would help you on my terms, okay? So back off."

"What are your terms?" He walks back over by the book.

"Hmm, not really sure yet. But we are done with this potion. As soon as Piper gets back we are ready to go." Phoebe puts the topper on the vile and Bosk comes crashing through the window on his flying carpet, knocking Chris to the floor. Phoebe throws the potion at Bosk but a pendent around his neck blocks it.

"Not this time, witch." He says. He tries to blast her, but she dodges it. Jamie ducks down next to the table. She picks up the bottle.

"Jinny, I wish you free!" Jamie says. Pink smoke escapes out of the bottle and Jinny appears wearing black clothes.

"Well, it's about time." She says. "Who's the master now?" Jinny throws a fireball at Bosk and vanquishes him. Piper walks in. Jinny reaches for the bottle."

"Chris." Piper says. Chris holds out his hand and the bottle flies into it. Piper tries to blow Jinny up but Jinny ducks. Jinny jumps on the flying carpet and it flies out the window. Chris gets up. And looks around.

"Where's Jamie?"

"Here. I'm in here!" Chris looks in the bottle and sees Jamie dressed in a blue Genie costume. "Hi… Master." Chris stares at his girlfriend.

"How the hell did you get in there?" He asks.

"I don't know…"

"Well, get out." Phoebe says.

"I can't. I don't know how. Try commanding me."

"Uh, okay. Get the hell outta there." Piper says as she looks into the bottle.

"No, not you." Jamie sighs. "My master." Piper walks away and Chris looks in the bottle.

"You mean me?" He asks.

"Well, You picked up the bottle, right?"

"Alright, get out of the bottle. I command you." Blue smoke rises out of the bottle and Jamie appears. Piper and Phoebe laugh, Jamie glares at them.

"You look ridiculous." Piper tells her.

"Yeah, well, that's exactly how I feel."

"I don't know…" Chris says, looking her up and down. "I think it's kind of-" Jamie looks at him.

"Don't even say it, mister!" She says, pointing at him. "I mean it." Jamie walks over to the mirror. "Oh great, I'm blonde!" Phoebe and Piper hold back laughter.

"How am I supposed to get back to Greg now with this?" Piper asks. Chris rolls his eyes.

"Is that all you care about?" Phoebe asks her asks. "Look at Jamie!" Piper sighs.

"Leo!" She calls. Chris looks at her.

"Have you ever noticed that Leo is the first person you call in your time of need?" She rolls her eyes as Leo orbs in. He looks at Jamie.

"Uh-oh."

"Yeah, right, uh-oh." Jamie says.

"I still can't believe you made a wish with a Genie." Piper says. "You know better than that."

"How was I supposed to know that this would happen?" Leo picks up the bottle.

"It says so right here." He tells her.

"Oh, yes, of course. It's right there, in Arabic." She sighs. "I don't speak, or read, Arabic."

"There's a warning label on the Genie bottle?" Piper asks.

"Yeah." Leo says. "An ancient sorcerer condemned a demon into the bottle for not marrying him. It says whoever tried to free her they have to switch places with her." He turns to Chris. "Missed a big one here, bud."

"You wanna pin this on me?" Chris asks.

"Leo, it's not his fault, it's mine." Jamie says. "I'm the idiot who set her free."

"Let's just figure out a way to fix this, okay?" Chris says.

"Yeah." Jamie nods. "I like this plan. I like this plan very much."

"Well, the only way to fix it is to get the demon to wish Jamie free, reverse the magic." Leo tells them.

"That's what we need to do then." Phoebe says.

"I'll call Paige." Piper tells them as she walks out of the attic. Jamie sighs.

"I can't believe this. I can't believe I'm a genie." She sits down.

"Well, at least I'm your master." Chris tries to cheer her up. She stares at him.

"Oh yes, just what I've always wanted, a boyfriend who is also my master." She says sarcastically.

"Well, you won't really have to worry about it anymore." Leo says. Jamie looks at him, confused. "Chris is coming back up there with me. The Elders have agreed to send him back to his time."

"What?" Chris says. Jamie stand up and grabs his hand.

"You don't know what you're doing here, Leo." Phoebe tells him.

"You don't belong here." He looks at Phoebe. "And as your Whitelighter he's doing more harm than good."

"You're so full of it." Chris says. "This isn't about me being a bad Whitelighter, it's about you feeling like I've let you down somehow. So whatever issues you might have with me, I wish you would just get over it already!" Jamie puts her hands together and blinks. "Leo?" Chris looks at him. Leo laughs.

"Of course I forgive you, man." He smiles. "You don't have to yell. All you gotta do is ask."

"I did?"

"Yeah. And listen, with all that whole going back to the future thing, you know, don't even worry about it because I'll talk to the other Elders and we're gonna work it all out, okay? It's no big deal, okay? Come on, give me a hug." Jamie stares in shock as Leo hugs Chris.

OOO

A while later, Jamie is pacing back and forth in the living room while Piper and Phoebe write the spell to vanquish Jinny. Paige orbs in.

"Back so soon?" Piper asks

"Yeah, the intervention was a complete train wreck. Richard wouldn't listen to anyone." She says.

"Oh, Paige, I'm so sorry." Paige looks at Jamie and starts laughing. "You're laughing at me? I tell you I'm sorry, and you laugh at me."

"I'm sorry. Maybe I needed a laugh after what I just went through."

"Yeah, it's okay. Is there anything I can do?"

"Yeah, but don't you need to go help Major Nelson?" Piper, Phoebe and Paige laugh, Jamie stares at them.

"What?" Piper asks. "It's funny, this is kinda funny."

"Let's just finish the spell, okay?" Jamie says.

"Alright, hey, I want this done just as badly as you do." Piper looks at Paige. "Did you find us a ghost?"

"Yeah, I got us Richard's dad." Paige tells them. "He's hanging out in limbo waiting for my call. Why do we need a ghost?"

"Well, once we capture Jinny, he can possess her and force her to wish Jamie free."

Leo and Chris walk in, chuckling. Leo is holding a box.

"Here's those crystals you wanted." Leo says as he places them on the table.

"You guys sure are chummy." Paige says.

"Yeah, I had a change of heart." Leo looks at Chirs. "Decided to let bygones be bygones."

"Really?" Piper looks surprised.

"Guys, there's something I have to tell you." Phoebe says, Chris cuts her off.

"Uh, after me and Jamie talk in the kitchen." Jamie looks at him.

"But..."

"Jamie." He holds up the bottle and Jamie disappears into it. "Now that was cool. If you'll excuse me, I'm gonna have a little one on one with the help." Chris walks into the kitchen. He lets Jamie out of the bottle. She looks pissed.

"I cannot believe you just did that to me!"

"I'm sorry, but I needed to get you away. I want to make Piper and Leo to, you know…"

"You wanna make them do what?" Jamie stares at him in, once again, disgust. "Chris! That's sick!

"We finally got dad in a good mood. And mom, she's still sexed up from the fireman. This is the perfect time to hit them with the whammy."

"No, we are not going to make Piper and Leo sleep together, okay? It's just wrong."

"I'm sorry, Jamie, but I'm running out of time here. You want me around, right?" She stares at him.

"Well, yeah. But-" He cuts her off.

"This is the only way, Jamie. I wish for Piper and Leo to sleep together tonight." Jamie shakes her head.

"No. I'm not..." She puts her hands together and blinks. They hear a loud thud come from the other room.

"What was that?" Chris asks as they rush into the conservatory. The find Piper and Leo fast asleep on the floor. "Oh, no. They're sleeping. You tricked me."

"No, you made me wish for them to sleep together." Jamie points to them "And they're sleeping together."

"This is a mess. I've only got one more wish to sort this thing out, so if you don't mind..." He holds up the bottle. Jamie shakes her head.

"Oh, no, actually I do mind. Chris, I am your girlfriend, not your genie." He stares at her. "Okay, well, I am your genie. But you know what, you cannot just condemned to that damn bottle. And besides, Jinny could be here at any moment.

"You know what? I'll summon you when she does. I command you back into the bottle." Jamie just stares at him as she disappears into the bottle.

OOO

A few minutes later, Paige and Phoebe hears a crash coming from the conservatory. They run in to find Chris getting thrown across the room by one of the thieves. He drops the bottle. The thieve pulls out his sword. Chris stands up.

"Mind the bottle." He says. "Jamie's inside." The thieve charges for Chris and they fight. Paige heads for the bottle and another thieve attacks her. She orbs out and orbs back in behind him.

"Sword!" His sword orbs into Paige's hand and she stabs him, vanquishing him. Jinny shimmers in and heads for the bottle. Richard walks in and sends her flying across the room. Paige stabs the other thieve with the sword and vanquishes him. "Crystals!" The crystals in the box orbs out. "Circle!" The crystals orb back in making a circle around Jinny. "Got her." Jinny tries to walk but the crystals zap her.

"Where's the bottle?" Chris asks. They all turn around to see Richard holding the bottle.

"Richard." Paige says.

"No!" Chris says as Richard disappears with the bottle.

OOO

A few minutes later, Paige walks into the living room where, Piper, Leo, Phoebe and Chris are. Piper and Leo are asleep next to each other on the couch. Chris covers them with a blanket.

"Think she can scare me." She says, taking about Jinny. She looks at Piper and Leo. "They're still asleep? Have you tried smelling salts?"

"It won't work, trust me." Chris says.

"What's wrong with them?" Phoebe asks.

"It's a long story." He says.

"I don't know, why don't you give me the cliff notes version. Come on, Chris. You and Leo and Phoebe have all been acting weird since before the demon attacked. What is going on?"

"Alright, I made a little wish." Paige and Phoebe's eyes bug out.

"You did what?" Phoebe asks.

"Two little wishes."

"Oh, great. It's not bad enough I have to worry about Richard, now I have to worry about you too." Paige sighs. "What did you wish for?"

"For Leo to forgive me, which by the way was an accident."

"And?"

"For Piper and Leo to sleep together."

"You! Oh my god, you are sick! What is wrong with you? You're disgusting!"

"No..."

"You are some creepy registered sex offender from the future."

"Paige, it's not like that." Phoebe says.

"No, no, no..." Chris continues.

"Oh my god, you are so gross." Paige says, ignoring them.

"I'm Piper and Leo's son!" Chris tells her.

"What?" Paige stares at him.

"They're my parents. I came back to save my family."

"You're serious."

"Yeah, he is." Phoebe tells her sister.

"Yeah. Only now I've gotta save myself. Because if my mom doesn't get pregnant in the next month, there is no me."

"This is all so wrong." Paige sits down. "And this has been such a long day."

"Look, I'm gonna orb over to Richard's, okay, and grab the bottle."

"No, you can't. He's, uh, he's crazy right now, he might hurt you, okay? I need to strip him of his powers. It's a whole thing."

"Well, how's that gonna help?"

"Well, he's been corrupted by magic and if I don't strip him of his powers, I might not be able to save him."

"What about Jamie? If he hurts her…"

"I don't think he will." Paige sighs. "Who else knows about this?"

"About me?" He asks. Paige nods. "Only Jamie and Phoebe know."

"Alright, you watch Jinny, we're gonna go make this potion, okay?"

"Okay." He nods.

OOO

Meanwhile, at Richard's house. The bottle is sitting on a table. Jamie is inside the bottle running from side to side, trying to tip the bottle over. She finally succeeds. Jamie escapes out in a puff of blue smoke.

"Oh, thank god." She says. "I thought a demon got me. Why didn't you let me out?"

"I'm not ready for you yet." He says.

"What? Why?"

"I know I've got a book of wishes around here somewhere." He says, ignoring her. He looks through some drawers.

"Wishes?" She asks.

"Yeah. Gotta get the wording right."

"Yeah, maybe you should just wish for sleep because I'm really good at that wish."

"Look, I just want Paige to accept me the way I am with magic. It's the only way we'll work."

"I don't think magic is the answer to your problems, I think it might be the cause of your problems."

"Got you brainwashed too. I'm gonna have to cast a spell on the entire family. Uh-huh. Here it is." He picks up a small book. Paige orbs in, scaring Richard. "Paige, I told you. Don't orb in and surprise me."

"Um, Paige, he's not really himself right now." Jamie looks at her.

"Why didn't you guys tell me that Chris is my nephew?" Paige asks.

"Uh, can we please talk about this later? Ya know, maybe when I'm not a genie and your boyfriend isn't my master!"

"This is for your own good." Paige throws a potion at Richard and he uses telekinesis to send the potion and Paige flying.

"Paige!" Jamie yells. They run to her.

OOO

Jamie and Richard help Paige up.

"Are you okay?" Richard asks. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."

"It's okay. It's fine." She says.

"I'll make it up to you." He turns to Jamie.

"No, no, no, not that way." She starts to panic.

"No more wishes." Paige tells him.

"No, no, it's okay. It's not for me." He looks at Jamie. "Jamie, I wish you free. A blue tornado of wind surrounds Jamie, it rises up and then surrounds Richard. Jamie is restored back to her regular self, but, Richard is now dressed in black. "Uh, what is this?" Chris orbs in with Phoebe and Jinny.

"What are you doing here?" Jamie asks. Jinny throws a fireball at them and they duck. Chris attacks Jinny and she grabs his arm and throws him across the room. Jinny picks up the bottle.

"Genie, I wish the Charmed Ones dead." Richard puts his hands together and nods his head. The girls fall to the floor, dead.

"No!" Both Chris and Jamie run to them.

"Now, into the bottle." Richard is sucked into the bottle. Jinny looks at Chris and Jamie. "My condolences." With that, she disappears. Chris kneels to the floor beside his aunts. Jamie falls to the floor in tears.

"No. You can't be dead yet. It's not your time. I know it's not your time." Phoebe and Paige's spirits float out of their body. Chris stands up. "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, this is all my fault. She was gonna kill mom and dad." Paige and Phoebe's spirits float back down to the ground.

"Hey, Chris." Phoebe says. "We're not moving on."

"Why aren't we moving on?" Paige asks.

"Who cares? You're still here." Chris says. Jamie nods as she wipes the tears from her face.

"Got any unfinished business?" Paige asks.

"No." Phoebe says. "You?"

"Not that I know if."

"Guys we can fix this." Chris says. "We can reverse the magic. All we need to do is get the bottle."

"That's true, we're ghosts, we can possess Jinny." Phoebe looks at Chris. "Where is Jinny?"

"Well, she was planning to conjure the lost city." Paige says.

"Don't worry, we're gonna take care of this. Should we go check on Piper first?"

"No, no, no. Piper's fine." Jamie stares at Chris as he says this. "I mean, she has to be, right? If she was dead, I would have vanished."

"How do we reach Jinny?" Paige asks.

You're ghosts, you can haunt anybody you want. You should concentrate and it should wisp you right to her." Phoebe and Paige close their eyes and they vanish. "Wait for us!" Chris grabs Jamie's hand and they orb out.

OOO

They appear in Arabia. Jinny is there with the bottle.

"I wish to resurrect the lost city of Zanbar." She says. A huge Arabian city rises out of the desert sands. "Finders, keepers."

"I wouldn't unpack just now if I were you." Paige says. They turn around to see ghost Phoebe, ghost Paige, Jamie and Chris standing there.

"Why haven't you moved on? You're dead." Jinny says.

"So are you." Phoebe's spirit jumps into Jinny's body. One of the thieves runs towards Chris and Chris throws him across the room. The other two thieves pull out their swords and runs towards them.

"Watch out!" Jamie says.

"Phoebe, a little help here." Chris tells her. Phoebe, who is in Jinny's body, throws a fireball at both the thieves, vanquishing them.

"I think I've got control of the body." She says. Chris grabs a sword and stabs the last thief, vanquishing him.

"Okay, all clear." Paige says. Phoebe picks up the bottle.

"Richard, I wish you free." Phoebe's spirit exits Jinny's body. Jinny is sucked into the bottle and Richard appears in her place.

"Hi, honey." Paige says.

"Let me out of here!" Jinny says from inside the bottle.

"I wish the Charmed Ones alive again." Richard says.

"Yes, master." Phoebe and Paige's spirit vanishes.

"You okay?" Chris asks Richard.

"Take this, get it out of my site." He holds the bottle in front of him.

"Sure. Could you get rid of that thing first?" He points to the lost city.

"Yeah." Richard says. "No problem."

OOO

Later at the Halliwell house, Chris, Jamie and Phoebe are in the living room, looking at Leo and Piper.

" They're not waking up." Chris starts to panic. "How come they're not waking up?"

"Honey, relax." Jamie tells him.

"Relax? I'm sorry, did you say relax? Because I'm about to disappear, vanish forever, cease to exist."

"Oh my god, you're so dramatic." Phoebe says. Piper and Leo wake up. "Hey, are you okay?" Piper looks up at Leo, then quickly pulls away.

"I think so." She says. "Wh-wh-what are you doing?"

"Uh, I don't know, I swear." Leo stands up. "What's going on?" Phoebe looks at Jamie and Chris.

"Arabic sleeping potion. Very strong, not good." She says.

"You mean Jinny did this?" Piper asks.

"Who else?"

"Well, we've gotta stop her."

"We already did while you were sleeping." Jamie says. She points to the bottle. "She's back in the bottle." Chris picks up the bottle.

"Which we were sort of hoping you could take care of for us." He hands Leo the bottle.

"So that's it?" Leo asks. "It's all over?"

"Pretty much. I mean, you still forgive me, right?"

"Of course."

"Good."

"I still wanna know why we all didn't die." Chris and Jamie stare at Phoebe. "What? I'm curious."

"Oh, sure, you don't mind them knowing that they almost died but not that..." Chris looks at Piper and Leo. Never mind.

"What are you talking about?" Piper asks.

"Jinny made a wish for the Charmed Ones to die and we almost did, but then we turned into ghosts and-" Phoebe is cut off by Piper.

"Huh." She says. "So that wasn't a dream I had. I was floating over my body looking down at me and then, uh." She looks at Leo. "You healed me."

"I did?" He asks.

"Yeah. I called to you when you were sleeping and somehow you must have heard me and you wouldn't let me go."

"Well, then that must be the reason why Phoebe and Paige's spirits didn't move on." Chris says. "See the wish was for all the Charmed Ones to die, so saving you must have saved them."

"That was really sweet of you." Piper tells Leo.

"Anytime." He says. Jamie smiles at them and nudges Chris. "So you wanna go with me to get Wyatt?"

"Sure." Leo orbs out with Piper.

"Wait." Chris says. "Wh... What about me?"

"I wouldn't give up." Chris and Jamie look at Phoebe. "There may be hope for you yet." Jamie nods and puts her arm around him.

OOO

Later that night, Chris was standing in Jamie's room, waiting for her to come back in. Paige and Phoebe were at P3, and Piper was with Wyatt. Chris looks up as Jamie walks in, wearing her pajamas. She walks over to he bed and sits down. He smirks at her.

"You know, you could always change back into the genie outfit. I wouldn't mind that at all." She throws a pillow at him. He laughs and walks over to her bed. She smiles at him, then yawns.

"I am so tired." He lays down next to her.

"I'm sorry." He says.

"Not your fault." He leans over and kisses her. She kisses back, until he rolls her over so that she's on top of him. "Chris, wait." She says in between kisses. He stops and looks at her.

"What's wrong?" She moves off of him. "Did I do something wrong?"

"No." She shakes her head. "I just- I don't think I'm ready to… you know." He nods and sits up.

"Okay." She can tell that he's disappointed.

"I'm sorry. It's just, the last time I- you know, it got really complicated." She sighs. He lays back down beside her, he kisses her softly.
