Chapter 10 – Inner demons, and outer ones as well

Chris and Jamie are sitting in the living room of the Halliwell manor watching a movie. They're babysitting Wyatt while the girls have a night out. He looks at her.

"Is there anymore popcorn?" He asks.

"Shh." She says, engrossed in the movie.

"Jamie-"

"Sush!" He picks up the remote and turns it off. She looks at him. "Hey! I was watching that!"

"Jamie, you've seen this movie a million times." He laughs. "You know it by heart."

"Your point being…"

"I want some popcorn." He smiles at her.

"Oh, sorry." She picks up a handful of popcorn and throws it at him. He stares at her in shock, she laughs. "Remote please."

"You just threw popcorn at me, and now you want something from me?"

"Uh-huh." She grabs for the remote, but he pulls it away. "Chris, c'mon, it's at the best part." He laughs at her as she tries to grab for the remote again.

"Sorry, you threw popcorn at me." He says. "Apologize and I'll give it to you." She snickers.

"Remote." The remote disappears from his hand and reappears in hers. She smiles. "Thank you." He picks up a pillow and hits it with her. She looks at him, then picks up another handful of popcorn and throws it at him.

"That's it." He tackles her and they fall to the floor, along with the entire bowl of popcorn. He falls on top of her. He starts tickling her and she starts laughing uncontrollably. He stops. "Give up?"

"Never." He starts tickling her again. She says something, but he doesn't understand.

"What was that?"

"Okay! Okay!" He stops tickling her. "You win." He smiles.

"That's better." He leans down slowly and starts kissing her, she looks over at the upside-down bowl of popcorn.

"We made a mess." He stops kissing her and looks at the popcorn.

"Oh well." He resumes kissing her.

"Chris, Chris, stop." She says in-between kisses. He stops and looks at her.

"What?"

"The girls will be home any minute." He sighs and sits up. "And besides," He helps her up. "I want to finish watching The Wedding Singer." She sits back down on the couch. He shakes his head at her.

"You are one strange girl, you know that." She laughs as she sits down. She snuggles close to him and presses 'play' on the remote. She smiles as she watches Robbie sing to Julia on the plane

"I love this song." She says. He smiles at her.

"It kind of reminds me of us." She looks at him as he says this.

"The lyrics are 'I wanna grow old with you'" She tells him.

"I know." She smiles and kisses him.

"I love you."

"I love you too." Jamie stands up at the credits roll. She starts picking up the popcorn.

"So what are we doing tomorrow?" He asks.

"Uh, I have to watch Wyatt."

"What? Why?"

"Because you mom has a doctors appointment for… well, you." She smiles.

"Oh." She walks into the kitchen and dumps the popcorn. She walks back in to see Chris lying on the couch, sleeping. She grins.

"Chris…" She says, trying to wake him. "Baby…" He sits up.

"I'm awake, I'm awake." He says.

"Sure you are. C'mon, let's go to bed." He looks up at her.

"But, what about Phoebe…"

"She's not here, is she?" She smiles at him and helps him up. He turns off the lights and follows her upstairs.

OOO

The next morning, Piper and Paige are standing in the hospital, waiting for the elevator.

"Are you hormonal or just plain crazy?" Paige asks Piper, who just froze the people in the hospital

"One woman can only take so much." Piper says.

"Okay, if these people walk out of their offices, what do you think they're gonna see?"

"Well, I think they won't be touching my stomach anymore, that's what I think."

"Piper, that is not a good enough reason to freeze people."

"I think it is." She says as the elevator door opens. Piper unfreezes the people and walks in it. A lady that was standing behind Piper stumbles forward. Paige catches her.

"It's okay, it's okay, we all just get a little vertigo sometimes." She tells the woman. Paige gets in the elevator with Piper. "No wonder Chris grows up to be such a neurotic little freak." The elevator doors close. "So you excited?"

"About what?" Piper asks.

"About what the doctor said. That it's gonna be a healthy baby."

"Well, I know he's healthy. I've seen him twenty-two and walking around."

"Well, you never know, something could happen."

"Oh, don't be such a worry wart. Now you're starting to sound like-" Chris orbs in.

"Hey." He says.

"…Chris." Piper says.

"Okay, if this is about demons, I don't wanna hear it, 'cause I am on my lunch break." Paige tells him.

"No, no, no." He says. "I just wanted to know how it went with the doctor."

"Well, you'll be happy to know that you're a boy." Piper holds up an ultrasound picture.

"That's not what I meant." He chuckles. Paige looks down at the ultrasound.

"I don't see it." She says.

"Oh, see, it's this little thing right here." Piper points to the picture.

"Whoa!" Chris says as he snatches the picture away from them. "Excuse me. Do you mind?" He then looks at the picture, he can't seem to see it either. The elevator doors open and Piper, Paige and Chris walk out.

"Why are you so edgy, anyway?" Piper asks him. "Relax."

"Well, it's not me in there I was thinking about, it's you." He tells her. "I'm just making sure you're okay."

"See, that's where I'd ask for money to go to the movies." Paige says. As they walk to the car.

"Very funny." He says. "Actually, in the future, you're the one I go to for money."

"Ooh, why, am I rich?"

"I can't tell you that."

"What about me?" Piper says. "I'm your mother. Why didn't you come to me for money?"

"Because I don't want to bother you, you'll have too much to deal with."

"What about your dad?" Paige asks.

"Uh, Leo's not much of a factor."

"What does that mean?" She asks.

"I'd rather not talk about it." Piper looks at him.

"Future consequences?"

"More like future issues."

"Ooh," Paige says. "Father-son problems."

"I have an idea, let's change the subject."

"To what?" As Paige says this, a woman drops down in front of them.

"Demon!" Chris says as he pushes Piper out of the way. The demon scratches Chris's neck.

"Extinguisher!" Paige says, the fire extinguisher flies towards the demon and she jumps over it. Piper tries to blow her up but she turns into a spider and runs away. Chris helps Piper up. "You guys okay?" Chris touches his neck.

"I don't know. Am I?" They look at three scratches on his neck. "Am I?"

"I don't know." Piper says.

OOO

A little later, Piper is sitting cleaning Chris's neck while a nervous Jamie sits by him. Paige is looking through the Book of Shadows.

"So I'm okay, right?" He asks. "I mean, mini me in there?" He looks at Piper's stomach.

"Well, if he wasn't, I think you'd be the first to know." Piper says. "Now, sit still." She puts the cloth on his cuts and he flinches, which causes Jamie to flinch. Piper looks at her.

"You okay?" She asks.

"Yeah." She says. "It just looks like it hurts." Chris looks at her.

"It does." She takes his hand in hers.

"If you didn't think anything was wrong, then why were you so worried back there?" Chris asks.

"I wasn't worried." Piper says. "Alright, I was a little worried about the force field."

"What force field?"

"The one she had when she was pregnant with Wyatt." Jamie tells him.

"Wait, you had a force field with Wyatt but not with me?"

"Well, I didn't have one, he had one." Piper says. "It was all his doing."

"From the womb?" He says, shocked. "He had powers from the womb? That's unbelievable! It's not like I don't have an inferiority complex with him already. Thank you."

"Geez, you are such a drama queen." Jamie says. He just looks at her, she smiles at him.

"Did you find that demon yet?" Piper asks Paige.

"Yes, actually, I did." She picks the book up and brings it over to them. "It's the Spider Demon. An evil creature that emerges from its hidden lair every hundred years, to capture and feed off the most powerful and magical demon it can detect. In this case that would be you."

"And me." All three girls stare at him. "Sorta."

"You must be so proud." Piper says. Jamie smirks as he stares at her.

"It's kinda creepy how she knew to lay a trap for you." Paige says. "Obviously she didn't count on us being there."

" Well, at least there's a vanquishing potion here." Piper says. "Okay, what do you say we make this eight-legged freak wish it'd never been hatched."

"Whoa, hold it." Chris says. "You are not going anywhere, mom, this is way too risky."

"He's actually right." Paige says. "Without the Wyatt force field thing."

"Okay, do you have to keep rubbing that in?" Chris looks at his aunt.

"Aren't there any therapists in the future?" Paige asks him.

""We need Phoebe." Chris says.

"No, I don't want to interrupt her date with Mark." Piper says.

"Actually, it's Mike this week." Paige tells her.

"I thought it was Matt." Jamie says.

"No, it's Mitch." Chris tells them. "But who cares, we need her."

"Ever since she had that vision thing in magic school, you know, the one about a demon-free life, and her being with child, she's kind of been on that whole future thing." Paige says.

"And she wishes to accomplish that by speed dating?" Piper asks.

"I don't know."

"So does that book say anything about that spider being poisonous?" Chris says as he grabs his neck. The girls all look at each other.

OOO

A little later, Piper is finishing cleaning Chris's scratches.

"Gentle, please." He says.

"Oh, quit your complaining, I'm almost done." Piper tells him. She looks at Paige. "Paige, could you call the club for me and tell them I'm gonna be a little bit late?"

"No, I thought we already discussed this." Chris says. "You're not going anywhere without a force field."

"Why? Because it's so much safer here? I have to go to work, I booked a band tonight."

"Let Paige cover for you."

"No, I can't, I have to go back to my temp job. I'm already late." Paige says.

"Blow it off. This is more important."

"My temp jobs are important. It's how people who need help find me."

"Okay, I get that, I do, but right now your sister needs your help, okay?"

"I can keep an eye on her, Chris." Jamie says.

"No, I don't want you getting hurt either." He tells her.

"Oh, gee, glad to know you don't care about me." Paige says.

"That's not-"

"Whatever." Paige says. "Why don't we just call Leo?"

"No, no." Chris shakes his head.

"Why not? He can help us. Besides, Piper's in danger, which means the baby's in danger, which means you are in danger."

"Because we don't need him." He says.

"Yeah, he's right, I don't want to open up that can of worms." Piper says.

"He doesn't even know you're pregnant, Piper." Jamie tells her.

"This is my point exactly."

"Look, I'm not suggesting some sort of reunion..." Paige starts.

"He has been gone for six months!" Chris cuts her off. "If he's not there for us in the future, why is he there for us now?" Piper sighs and sits down.

"Hey, are you okay?" Jamie asks.

"Yeah, I just need to sit down for a minute." She says.

"Okay, well, I'll go deal with the club." Paige turns to Jamie and Chris. "You guys work on the vanquishing potion and call Phoebe and I when it's done." She leaves.

"Okay, I'll go get started on the potion." Jamie says as she walks out of the room. Chris looks at Piper.

"I'll clean up." Chris closes the first aid kit and stares as his hands stick to box.

OOO

Chris walks up to the attic, where Jamie was getting the ingredients for the potion. She looks at him as he walks in.

"Chris?" She walks over to him. "Baby, you're sweating."

"Yeah, I know." He says. "I'm gonna go get Phoebe."

"Maybe you should lay down. I can go get her."

"No." She puts her hand on his forehead.

"Baby, you're burning up."

"I'm fine. I'll be back, okay?" She stares at him. He kisses her. "I'll be fine." She nods and he orbs out. He orbs to Cafe Le Blue, where Phoebe is.

"Chris, hey." Phoebe says. She looks at him. "Oh my god, you're sweating. What happened to your neck?"

"Uh, Piper was attacked by a demon." He says. "She's okay though. We need you back at the house to help with the vanquishing potion."

"Okay." She turns to her date. "Take care, Mark."

"Mitch." He tries to correct her, but she doesn't hear him. She walks away. A fly buzzes around Chris and he catches it in his hand.

"Chris, are you coming or what?" Phoebe says. He looks back at her.

"Yeah." He walks over to her.

OOO

Phoebe walks into the Dining room, where Jamie and Chris are.

"Okay, let's do this. I have a future to get back to." She hands Chris the potion.

"Who doesn't." He holds up the potion. "You blessed this?"

"Yes, I blessed it, I sang to it. What's the matter with you?" Chris sits down on the stairs. Piper comes down the stairs.

"Are you okay?" Jamie asks, worried.

"Yeah, I think I'm just coming down with something."

"What do you mean?" Piper asks. "From the attack?"

"Now who's the worry wart." He tells his mom. "Look, we still need Paige to bless this. Did you call her?"

"Yeah, she's on her way. She was helping me out at the club."

"Who's watching Wyatt?" Jamie asks.

"Uh, Sheila. He should be safe there until after this is over." A spider crawls in from an open window, but they don't see it.

"Okay, well, we gotta get a move on here." Phoebe says. "Because I need to find my husband, like, yesterday. Seriously." They all stare at her. "What? I did the math. It's gonna take me like a year to fall in love, and there's the whole engagement and the wedding, and then the year of wedded bliss." Chris notices the spider. "And then I have to wait a year to find out if I really want to have his kid, you know, and the pregnancy's, like, nine months. Well, ten months, they just tell you it's nine months. So clearly, let's move on here." Piper laughs at her sister. "I'm sorry, what's so funny?"

"This whole family needs a shrink." She says. Paige orbs in holding the shillelagh.

"Hey" Jamie says, she looks at the shillelagh. "Where'd you get that?"

"Don't ask." Chris stands up and hands the potion to Paige.

"You need to bless this vanquishing potion."

"Wow." She says. "Hello to you too."

"Hey, the book says for all three of you to bless it. Phoebe and Jamie will help you." He turns to his mom. "Piper, can I talk to you, please?" She looks at him.

"Piper?" She says. "What happened to mom?" He sates at her and holds out his hand, she grabs it.

"How exactly do I bless this thing?" Paige asks.

"With your blood." Phoebe says. "Come on." Phoebe, Jamie and Paige walk in the dining room. Phoebe picks up a pin. "This'll just hurt a little." Paige makes a face and pulls away.

Chris and Piper walk into the conservatory.

"What is it? What's the matter?" Piper asks. "Chris, your eyes are dilated."

"Are they?" He asks. The spider turns into the spider demon. Web flies out of her hands and wraps Piper up in it. She gets stuck to the wall covered from head to toe in a spider web cocoon. Phoebe, Jamie, and Paige walk in.

"Okay, we got it. She didn't even..." Phoebe sees the spider demon. "Faint." Paige throws a potion towards the spider demon and Chris catches it.

"What are you doing?" Jamie asks. Chris knocks Paige to the floor, then attacks Jamie, who is in such a shock that she doesn't fight back, and then attacks Phoebe. Phoebe fights back and he drops the potion. The potion rolls over to Paige. Phoebe kicks Chris in the head and knocks him to the floor. Paige throws the potion at the spider demon, missing. She turns back into a spider and crawls away.

"Get it! Get it!" Phoebe says. The spider crawls out the window. "Piper." They turn around and see Piper wrapped in a cocoon against the wall.

"Oh, no." Paige says.

OOO

Jamie walks into the living room, after locking Chris in the basement.

"Is it weird that I actually liked locking my boyfriend in the basement?" She asks Phoebe and Paige, she looks at Paige, who is on the floor. "What are you doing on the floor?" Phoebe helps her up.

"Well, not having a lot of luck, that's why I'm on the floor." She says. "I've tried orbs, knives, spells. Nada."

"God, I hope Piper's okay in there." Phoebe says. Jamie starts to walk up to Piper.

"Don't." They both say.

"So do you think we should ask Chris for help?" Phoebe asks.

"Yeah, let's get the mutant who put her in there in the first place to help." Jamie looks at Paige as she says this.

"Hey!" Jamie says. "He's not a mutant… He just seems to be turning into a demon."

"Missy, that is our nephew, he needs help too." Phoebe tells Paige.

"Okay, fine." She replies. "How should we help? Uh, how about Leo?"

"Are you kidding?" Phoebe asks. "Piper will kill us."

"Well, she can kill us after she's saved."

"Paige, Piper doesn't want Leo to know that Chris is his son, okay? So I don't think I can keep that secret."

"Try." Paige calls for Leo and he orbs in wearing a gold robe.

" Phoebe, Paige, Jamie, how are you?" He asks.

"Not so good." Phoebe tells him. "We have a problem."

"Perhaps we should meditate."

"No, I don't want to meditate. Piper, right there." She points to Piper, wrapped up in the spider web.

"Ah, the Spider Demon." Leo says. "She cocoons her victims before feeding on them."

"Great, well, can you get her out of there?" Paige asks.

"Uh, well, the only way to get her out of there is to vanquish the Spider Demon. But it's okay, the cocoon is meant for preservation, so she's safe for now."

"Good, that means Chris is too." Jamie says.

"Chris? He's in there too?"

"No, he's not in there, Leo, he's in the basement." Paige says.

"Yeah, he was acting a little crazy so we locked him in the basement." Phoebe says.

"Yeah, after the Spider Demon infected him, he got a little crazy, went after..." Paige says. Leo smiles at her.

"I'll talk to him." He says as he heads for the basement.

"Uh, be careful." She turns to Phoebe. "Good thinking."

"I'm telling you, he has a right to know." She says.

"No, he doesn't."

OOO

Leo walks into the dark basement.

"Chris?" He asks, no anwser. "Chris? Chris, I'd like to talk to you, it's Leo." Chris walks out of the shadows, looking weak and pissed. "Chris?"

"Bastard!" Chris says and he holds out his hands. Spider webs shoot out of them and Leo orbs into the kitchen out before the webs hit him. Leo quickly closes the door. Phoebe, Jamie and Paige run in.

"What happened?" Jamie asks. "I heard Chris yell."

"He attacked me." Leo says.

"I tried to warn you." Paige says.

"He's got issues." Phoebe tells him.

"Issues?" He asks.

"Yeah, from being infected." Paige says.

"No, I think his issues precede that, don't you, guys?"

" Something you're not telling me?" Leo asks.

"Actually..." Phoebe starts

"No." Both Paige and Jamie say.

"Look, he's gonna find out sooner or later and I'm gonna bust." Leo stares at them

"Find out what?" He asks.

"If he's gonna help us, we're gonna have to tell him." Phoebe continues arguing with Paige and Jamie.

"It's Piper's business." Paige says.

"Tell me what?" Leo asks. Phoebe tries to hold it in but can't.

"Chris is your son." Leo stares at her. "Don't we all feel better? I know I feel so much better." Leo sits down, speechless.

"How..."

"Uh, spirit realm, six months ago, you and Piper..." Phoebe looks at him. "Leo, she's pregnant."

"Why didn't she tell me?"

"Well, honestly, I think she knows how hard it was for you to leave one son behind. She didn't want to make it any harder." Paige's phone rings.

"Great." She says. "Excuse me." Paige leaves the room.

"Why is he so mad at me?" Leo asks.

"I don't know, sweetie." Phoebe tells him. "He's real tight lipped about the future. It's a lot for you, huh?" He nods. "Well, uh, you gotta try to pull it together because we need you. Your family needs you."

"Right. You're right."

"That's the spirit."

"Well, uh, if I remember correctly, the Spider Demon's last victim was a wizard. So maybe I should go to magic school and see if there's something there that I can use to scry for him."

"Okay, and what about Chris?" Jamie asks.

"Check the Book of Shadows, I think there's an antidote." Leo tells her.

"Okay." Jamie walks up the stairs. Phoebe stares at Leo.

"Welcome home." She jokes, he chuckles as he orbs out. Paige walks in.

"Hey, will you watch Piper?" Paige asks. "I have to go back to the club."

"Wait, now?" Phoebe asks.

"Yeah, the wicked witch has struck again." With that, she orbs out.

OOO

After Paige came home she, along with Jamie and Phoebe, was making the potion.

"You need anything else?" Paige asks.

"No, sweetie." Phoebe says. "I just hope I'm not too late." Leo orbs in.

"I stopped off in the attic on the way back." He says.

"I gotta tell you, Leo, whatever Chris has against you in the future, it can't be your lack of determination." A spider crawls out of the vent and runs along the floor, but they don't see it.

"Still, you might not be in this mess if I hadn't been gone so long." Leo says.

"Well, you have to do what you have to do." Paige tells him.

"My god, Leo, can't you think of anything but yourself?" Phoebe asks him.

"Phoebe." Jamie says.

"Yeah, that was kind of weird."

"Yeah." Paige says.

"You totally bailed on us." Phoebe says to Leo.

"What the hell?" Jamie stares at her.

"Okay, I think maybe I'm channelling Chris's anger?"

"But he's in the basement." Leo says. "Can you empath from so far away?"

"I don't know, maybe my powers are expanding."

"Or he's closer than we think." Jamie says The spider crawls into the living room and turns into Chris. Phoebe, Jamie and Paige run in.

"No!" Phoebe says. Spider webs shoot out of Chris's hands and hits Phoebe, sticking her to the wall by her wrists. Paige throws a potion at Chris and he covers it in spider webs. He then sticks Paige to the wall. Leo runs in.

"Chris, stop, this isn't you." He says.

"Wanna bet?" Chris pushes Leo against the wall.

"Chris, don't." Phoebe says.

"He's your father." Jamie says. Chris throws Leo up the stairs and sticks him to the wall with spider webs. He looks at Jamie.

"Chris, it's me." She says. "I know there's still a part of you in there." His eyes change from red to normal, he walks over to her and gently cups her face with his hand. They stare at each other for a few seconds, but then he snaps out of the trance he was in and his eyes turn back to red. He scratches her neck and sticks her to the wall with the others. He walks over to Piper and orbs out with her.

"Bug spray." Paige says. "We should have used bug spray." They all try to break free from their webby prison.

"Okay, I can't break free." Phoebe says, she looks up at Paige. "Can you orb?"

"No, I tried." She says.

"Damn it." Leo says.

"Are Elders even allowed to swear?" Paige asks.

"No, but fathers are. Especially ones whose kid tries to kill him."

"Well, technically you can't die." Phoebe says.

"It's not the point."

"Well, it wasn't Chris, Leo, it was a demon." Paige says.

"No, some of it was Chris, I saw it in his eyes."

"So did I." Jamie says.

"I think they're right." Phoebe says. "I think that's why he can still orb. He can be saved."

"Yeah, well, can we?" Paige asks. Phoebe sees the shillelagh near by.

"Maybe with a little luck." Phoebe looks up at her sister.

"Shillelagh." Paige says. The shillelagh orbs and taps on the floor three times. A rainbow appears and Riley, the leprechaun comes out.

"Somebody called." He says.

"Hey, over here." Paige tells him. He turns around and starts laughing at the sight of them.

"Now there's something you don't see everyday."

"Yeah, thanks a lot." Paige says. "Can you just get us down from here, please?"

"I can try, but as you know, luck can go either way. Good or bad. Take your chances."

"Yeah, well, we'll take our chances." Phoebe tells him.

"Very well. Slainte is tainte!" Paige falls from the wall and lands on a table, smashing it. Riley chuckles. "I tried to warn you, love."

OOO

After helping everyone down, Paige walks into the living room and Leo walks into the conservatory to look for Piper. Phoebe walks over to Jamie, who was kneeling down on the ground, looking at the floor.

"Jamie, sweetie, we gotta get some of the antidote in you, before you turn into the demon." Jamie looks up at Phoebe with red eyes.

"Too late." She says.

"Paige! Leo!" They run in and look at Jamie.

"Oh no." Paige says. Leo starts walking towards her.

"Jamie, it's okay. We're not gonna hurt you."

"It's not me I'm worried about." She says as she holds up her hands, and shoots him with spider webs, and once again, Leo is stuck to the wall. Jamie looks at the sisters and shimmers out.

"How the hell did she do that?" Phoebe asks.

"I don't know." Paige says.

OOO

Jamie shimmers to the cave where Chris is. She finds him lying on the ground in pain. She looks at the Spider demon, who is feeding off of Piper.

"No!" She says as she runs over to her and kicks her. Chris stands up once the demon brakes contact from Piper. Jamie runs to him. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine." He says.

"How dare you." The demon says. She walks over to Jamie and Chris and punches Jamie.

OOO

Meanwhile, Leo is trying to find the wizard that the demon had captured. Phoebe walks in.

"I don't understand why this isn't working." He says. "Maybe I have the wrong wizard."

"Or maybe because there's nothing to find." Phoebe says. "Leo, you gotta stop beating yourself up over this, okay. It's not your fault."

"I just, I don't understand why he hates me so much."

"Yeah, but Leo, it's in the future, it hasn't happened yet, so you can change it."

"If Chris lives long enough to tell me what to change." Leo says. "Why am I scrying for the wizard? The demon has Piper, I should be scrying for her."

"Here, use her keys." Phoebe grabs Piper's keys and hands them to Leo. He continues to scry. The crystal points to a place on the map.

"Got her." He says.

"Okay, I'll take the antidotes, you take the vanquishing potion." She hands the potion to him. "Paige!"

"Piper didn't bless it." Leo tells Phoebe.

"It's all we've got."

"But we need the power of three. How are we gonna make up for Piper?" Paige walks in with a nymph, fairy and an ogre following her.

"Well, how about with a little help from our friends."

OOO

Phoebe, Paige, Leo and the ogre are standing outside the demon's cave. The ogre throws a rock at the cave entrance and the cave's force field sends the rock flying back to the ogre. He catches it.

"Nice catch." Paige says.

"Thank you." He replies.

"So wait, we can't get in?" Phoebe asks.

"No, it's impenetrable." Leo says.

"Great plan." Phoebe tells Paige.

"Well, maybe we can draw her out?" Paige says.

"How's that?" Leo asks.

"I could just knock." The ogre says.

"Good thinking." Phoebe says as he walks up to the cave and starts knocking.

Meanwhile, inside the cave, the Spider demon had pinned Jamie to the wall with spider webs and resumed feeding off of Piper and Chris. They hear banging coming from outside. The Spider demon groans.

"Damn it." She says. "Can't a demon eat in peace?" She stops feeding and steps over Chris, who is past out on the ground. She walks out. "You're pissing me off, you know."

"Yeah, that's the idea." Paige says.

"You think you can take me? Without your sister?"

"We're just gonna have to see." Paige says. "Now!" The fairy flies in front of the spider demon's face. The spider demon hits Paige across the face and she falls to the ground. Phoebe kicks the spider demon. The nymph comes out of the bushes and throws the potion at the spider demon. It misses when she turns back into a spider. "Step on her." The ogre walks over and steps on the spider.

"That's gross." Phoebe says as she makes a face.

"Sorry." The ogre says. The barrier disappears, Paige gets up.

"Give me the antidote." She says.

"No." Leo says. "This is my responsibility." Leo walks inside and helps Pipe out of her cocoon.

"Piper, are you okay?" He asks.

"I think so." She says. "What are you doing here?"

"Uh, it's a long story." They hear a noise.

"What's that?" Chris and Jamie walk in

"Our little boy and his girlfriend." Leo tells Piper. "You gotta get out of here." Leo waves his hand and Piper orbs outside. She looks at her sisters.

"Oh, hey, welcome back." Paige says.

"Where's Leo?" Phoebe asks. Chris blocks the cave door with spider webs.

Inside, Chris and Jamie are walking towards him.

"Alright, guys. Chris, come on, can we just talk about this a minute?" Chris grabs Leo by the throat.

"A minute?" He asks. "We have the next hundred years." Jamie smiles.

Meanwhile, outside, Piper is trying to blow up the force-field.

"I can't get through that thing." She says.

"You want me to try knocking again?" The Ogre asks.

"Uh, I don't think that's gonna work this time." Phoebe tells him.

"That's okay, we'll take it from here." Paige says.

"Are you sure?" The Nymph asks.

"Yeah, we're positive. But thanks for everything." The nymph, ogre and fairy disappear.

"I told you guys not to bring Leo here." Piper says.

"I think he just saved your life." Phoebe says.

"Yeah, at his expense, and maybe Chris and Jamie's too." Piper looks at her sisters. "By the way, how did Jamie get turned into a demon?"

"Uh, Chris kind of turned her into one." Phoebe says. Piper sighs.

Inside the cave, Leo is stuck to a large spider web.

"Well, at least we'll have plenty of time to get to know each other... dad." Chris says.

"See, that's what I'm talking about. That's not the demon talking, that's you talking, Chris." Leo says. "It's not too late, you just have to fight it." He looks at Jamie. "Both of you do."

"Why fight it when we've already won?" She asks. Chris throws out more spider webs which covers Leo's hand. Jamie hears something outside, she turns to Chris. "I'm gonna go see what that was." He nods and she walks outside.

"Tell me why you hate me so much, Chris. Huh? What did I do to become such a bad dad?"

"It doesn't matter anymore." Chris says.

"No? The hell it doesn't. Deep down you hate my guts. Huh? Admit it. Come on, admit it." Chris walks over to him. "What, you afraid?"

"I'm not afraid of you."

"No? Then why don't you tell me what I did to you? What, did I miss a school play? Did I take away your favorite toy? Did I play favorites with Wyatt?" Chris gets angry and grabs Leo. He throws him across the room. He runs over and pushes him against the wall. "Chris, don't!"

"You don't know me." He says as he punches Leo in the stomach and throws him over his shoulder.

Jamie walks through the barrier.

"Hey look." She says. "It's a party." The sisters look at her.

"Jamie." Paige says.

"Now tell me, who wants to die first?" She says as she steps towards Piper. She brings up her hands, like she's gonna vanquish her, but Phoebe stops her.

"No!" Jamie stops and looks at her. "If you kill her now, there won't be any Chris." Jamie stares at her, then groans as she puts down her hands. "That's it Jamie, don't do it. It will kill Chris. You really love him, don't you." Paige looks at Phoebe.

"Pheebs, now is not the time to have a nice chat about her love life." She whispers.

"Trust me." Phoebe whispers back. She looks at Jamie. "You know, he seemed to get over Bianca pretty fast, don't ya think?" Jamie growls at Phoebe. "I mean, he was really in love with her." Jamie starts walking towards her. "I wonder if he loved her more than he loves you." Jamie grabs Phoebe and pins her to the ground. Phoebe looks up at Paige. "Hit her with something!"

"Uh." Paige looks around. She sees a piece of branch laying on the ground. "Branch!" The branch orbs into her hands and she knocks Jamie over the head with it. Jamie falls to the ground, unconscious. "Sorry James, but it's for your own good."

"Quick, give her the antidote." Piper says. Paige leans down and makes Jamie drink it, she turns back into her regular self, but stays unconscious. Paige grabs her neck, where the spider demon hit her.

"Paige, you should take the other antidote." Phoebe says.

"No, no, I'm fine." She says. "It didn't even break my skin, it just hurts."

"Yeah, but still."

"No, we need to save it for Chris."

"Paige."

"Ow." Piper says, grabbing her stomach.

"What's the matter?" Phoebe asks.

"Kidney shot."

"Maybe he's trying to tell you something."

"Maybe he is." She turns to them and points at the antidote. "Give me that."

"What? Why?"

"So I can take it."

"What?" Paige asks.

"You've been saying whatever happens to little Chris happens to big Chris, and that's what you've been so worried about." Piper says.

"So?"

"So if I take this, then the baby's inoculated and Chris is just fine, right?" Paige turns to Phoebe.

"Do you follow that?" She asks.

"Not a word." Phoebe answers.

"Just give it to me." Piper snatches the antidote off Phoebe and drinks it.

Inside the cave, Chris is on top of Leo, punching him.

"You don't know me, you don't know me! You don't know me!" He says. Chris turns back to normal and the spider webs blocking the entrance disappears. Chris continues to punch Leo in the face. Piper and Paige walk in.

"Chris, no!" Piper says. "Chris! Chris, look at me!" She pulls him away from Leo. "It's okay. It's over." He looks at his mom, then at Leo. He walks out of the cave. Phoebe is sitting next to, a still unconscious, Jamie. She looks up at him.

"What happened to her?" He asks as he kneels down next to Jamie.

"Um, Paige hit her in the head with a big stick." He stares at her.

"Why?"

"Because she was trying to kill me." She says. "And it was the only way we could get her to take the antidote." Phoebe watches him as he brushes the hair out of his sleeping girlfriends face. "Okay, well I'm gonna go help them in there." She says as she stands up. Chris ignores her. "Okay." She walks into the cave. Chris stares at Jamie.

"Jamie…" He says. "James, come on, wake up." Jamie slowly wakes up.

"Chris?" She asks weakly.

"Yeah, I'm here." He tells her. "Are you okay?"

"I think so." She says as she sits up. She grabs her head. "My head hurts though." He sighs and pulls her into his arms and kisses the top of her head.

OOO

Later that night, Jamie walks into P3 and walks over to the counter, where Paige is working.

"Hey." She says.

"Hey James, how's your head?"

"I have a pretty good size lump."

"Aw, I'm sorry."

"It's okay." Jamie says. "I deserved it." Paige smirks.

"I'm surprised you're not with Chris." She says.

"I can't find him. That's why I came here, I thought maybe he was in that back. Have you seen him?" Paige shakes her head. Phoebe walks over to them.

"Hi!" She says.

"Hey." Jamie says.

"This place is hopping, huh?"

"Yeah." Paige says, she looks over to the guy Phoebe was sitting with. "Not a bad guy over there. Is that Nick?"

"Uh, no, actually, that's Ron." Jamie looks at her.

"What, did you skip some letters in the alphabet?" She asks.

"Q's are hard to find." Paige and Jamie laugh.

"I hear ya." Paige says. "Well, at least he's handsome."

"He's cute, right? Okay, have fun. Bye." Phoebe goes back to Ron. Jamie looks at Paige.

"Well, I gotta go find my guy, I'll see ya later, okay?"

"Sure." Jamie leaves and Paige picks up a tray. She carries it over to Riley, the leprechaun, the ogre, and the nymph. "Okay, drinks on the house"

"God bless you, love." Riley says. "Cheers!"

OOO

Chris is sitting on the Golden Gate Bridge, Leo orbs in.

"Can we talk?" He asks.

"There's nothing to talk about." Chris sighs.

"I think there is. Quite a bit, actually."

"It doesn't matter."

"It does to me, Chris. You're my son. I think I deserve to know what I did that's so bad." Chris looks at his father.

"You were never there for me. You were there for everybody else. For mom, Wyatt, half the world, but you were never there for me. You didn't have the time."

"So maybe you came back from the future not just to save Wyatt, maybe you came back to save us too." Leo says.

"I doubt it." Chris orbs out.

OOO

Jamie walks into the house and sighs as she walks upstairs and into her room. She finds Chris laying down on her bed, holding her stuffed bear. She walks over to him.

"Chris?" He looks up at her. "I have been looking everywhere for you." He sits up.

"Sorry." He says. "I was at the bridge."

"Of course, the one place I can't get to." She jokes. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah." He sighs. "It's just been a long day."

"Honey, everyday is a long day for us." He nods and stares at the stuffed bear he's holding. "Honey, what's wrong?"

"Nothing." He sighs. "It's just…" She looks at him.

"Leo?" She asks. He nods. She scoots close to him.

"I'm sorry."

"It's not your fault." He puts his arm around her. "Hey, I'm sorry I turned you into a demon today."

"That's okay." She looks up at him. "You jump, I jump, right?"

"Yeah." He smiles.

"Actually, in our case, it's 'you turn into a gross Spider demon who tries to kill all our friends, I turn into a gross Spider demon who tries kill all our friends.'" He smirks at her. "Ha, I got a smile." She smiles at him, he leans in and kisses her. "You wanna stay here tonight?" He nods. "Good."
