A/N: So I am definitely going to do a sequel! Thank you all for the reviews. They made me feel so happy. Now on with the show…

Disclaimer: Really, as if!

Piper Halliwell gazed down at her newborn son. He was perfect in every way. Nestled happily in his mother's arms, he slept peacefully. Piper knew she should be overjoyed by her second son's birth, yet she felt to be happy was betraying his older version's memory. He had died only a mere six hours earlier, following his younger sister from this life to the next. He had died and been born on the exact same day.

Shaking her head, Piper tried to rid the sight of her three children vanishing without a trace. Wyatt holding his brother to his chest, calling heartbrokenly for him to return and Sara pale and still on her bed of death.

She tried to have faith in the fact that they were truly safe in the future. That Wyatt was a good brother and Chris and Sara would never have to bear the weight of the world on their shoulders. As much as she tried to believe the theory, Piper knew that something was distinctly wrong. She could feel it in her very soul. Somewhere out there her children needed her.

"Leo!" She called hoping not to interupt her infant son's sleep but the need for Leo was to great to wait.

"Piper?" Leo was by her side in the shortest of moments. "What's wrong? Chris?"

"He's fine," Piper murmured glancing down at her son before looking back up to Leo. "But I don't think that our children's future selves are."

"Piper…" Leo began but was cut off.

"Don't you Piper me!" Her eyes flashing dangerously as she spoke. "I can feel that something is not right. You have to go and make sure they got there all right. I have to know that they are safe."

"I don't know…"

"Just make it happen Leo!" Piper growled startling her slumbering son. "Or God help me you won't be able to keep me from going myself the moment I get back to the manor."

Leo nodded stiffly. He couldn't risk Piper trotting off to the future and he had to know as well. Were his children safe? Where they happy? Was he a good father? He couldn't get Sara's pain filled voice out of his head when he had tried to heal her from Wyatt's advanced darklighter poison or Chris' raspy gasps for air as he fought the last few moments before death came. Piper was right; this was something he had to do.

"I'll be back as soon as possible." He assured Piper as he leaned down to kiss his wife and son. He would not fail any of them again. There would be no more moments of hestitaion that would hurt his family.

An hour later Leo found himself staring at the attic wall and a chalk drawn triquetra. A potion gripped in his had, he tried to calm his erratic breathing. Standing firm he hardened his resolve and threw the blue potion filled vile at the wall. Leo gave one last look behind him and stepped forward unsure as to what he would be facing.

23 years in the future…

Sara Halliwell groaned as she opened her green eyes. There was an awful kink in her neck, her throat ached and she felt as if the room was spinning. The noise from the glaring television was doing nothing for her throbbing head. With a flick of her hand the offensive electronic became quiet.

Judging from the looks of things she had fallen asleep watching that new comedy with her brothers and they had left her slumbering on the couch while they had orbed up to their comfortable beds.

"Losers" she grunted before orbing to her own warm and inviting bed. Nothing more on her mind than a peaceful nights rest.

It seemed only minutes after she closed her eyes that her alarm clock was chiming wildly from its place on her nightstand. With a growl she sat up and rubbed her eyes. Even from her place in bed she could tell it was a beautiful November morning. Smiling she remembered why her alarm had been set so early. It was Chris' twenty-third birthday and both she and Wyatt had a special day planned out for their middle sibling. Throwing the blankets back she went about her normal morning routine.

Within an hour she was showered and dressed casual in a faded pair of jeans with a white shirt. She headed for her eldest brother's room before heading for the kitchen to help her mother with breakfast. Wyatt was notorious for over sleeping.

"Typical," she giggled entering Wyatt's room. Hearing his alarm clock continuing its morning call from the closet Sara knew he must have orbed it there unwilling to rise. With a look of pure mischievousness she pounced Wyatt's snoring form. "Time to wake up lazy ass!"

"Sara!" Wyatt yelped when she landed on him. "Must you be so annoying?"

"You said you would keep Chris busy while I set up for his surprise party tonight." She said not moving from her seat on his stomach. Stretching her legs over the edge of the bed she grinned mirthfully down at her rudely awaked sibling.

"Why do you have to start at seven in the morning?" He whined sitting up and pushing her off of him. "Do you really need a whole twelve hours?"

"Stop your moaning." She laughed. "You are much nicer after a few cups of coffee, you know that right?"

"Most people are," he yawned heading for the door. "I just happen to be blessed with the only two people who have no need for coffee as siblings. Do you two ever sleep in?"

"Sometimes," she smirked as she head for the door. "You would notice if you kept normal hours like the rest of us."

"Hmph!" Before he could respond she was gone, her soft laughter following her down the stairs.

Chris looked up from his seat at the kitchen table when his sister entered. "Morning kiddo," he smiled sleepily as she hugged him before flipping on the coffee machine.

"Happy birthday Chris!" she said happily as she sat across from him.

"Thanks." He sighed gazing at her. "I take it you gave Wyatt a rude awakening."

"What makes you say that?" She replied with a laugh. She knew Chris had an idea about her surprise party for him. She was hardly ever able to get one up on him.

"He's the only one out of the three of us that needs coffee."

"Mom and Dad do too."

"They are already up and about, Sara." Chris laughed at her indignant look. "So how's plans for my party tonight coming along?"

"Aunt Phoebe?" Sara accused him.

Chris only smiled before turning his attention to his older brother's yawning form shuffling through the door. His Aunt Phoebe had spilled the beans on Sara's surprise a week before. Chris didn't mind though. He was touched that his sister had gone to great lengths to make him happy on his birthday.

"Morning birthday boy," Wyatt said as he added an obseen amount of sugar to his coffee before turning to his smiling siblings. "Where are the rents?"

"Left in a bit of a hurry this morning," Chris said knowingly. "Something about party decorations at Phoebe's."

"You mean I could have slept in?" Wyatt accused his now smirking sister.

"I'm touched Wyatt really," Chris laughed. "My big brother got up early just to spend the day with little o' me."

"Punk," Wyatt smiled.

Past Leo watched unseen as his children's future selves bantered in a relaxed way around the kitchen table. He could tell they were happy. Sara seemed completely different. Her eyes were lighter and she was much more open and at ease. Chris had smiled more in the last hour than Leo had even seen in the past and Wyatt seemed to love both of his siblings even though it was obvious he hated early mornings.

It was as if they knew nothing of the past and what their other selves had gone through. Each one of them was safe. He and Piper were still alive and together. Wyatt was no longer an evil tyrant and the future seemed like a truly wonderful place.

With a sigh Leo watched as they laughed and joked before leaving the room. He was going to miss them. He could only smile when Sara threw her arms around both of her brothers. Her words seemed fitting.

"Once charmed, always charmed, boys." With that she dissolved in blue and white lights. Wyatt and Chris only smiled and shook their heads before following her orbs with their own.

Leo returned to the attic, eager to get home to his wife and sons. He smiled softly before stepping though the glowing portal. They were safe and that was all that mattered. In that moment suspended between time and space Leo vowed to keep his growing family that way, safe and happy.

The End.

A/N: Please review! I am now going to focus on a sequel but I would be thrilled to hear what you thought of this little piece. Hugs and laughs -Jules
