Authors Note: Actually I wasn't planning to continue this story, but I got reviews in which stood I should go on writing, so I thought that maybe I'll make a few other chapters about important days between Chris and Wyatt. If you like this one too, then review and I promise I'll keep on writing.
I'll always be there for you, baby brother
Chapter 2: Wyatt's first school day
Chris entered the kitchen and saw his mother making a sandwich. He sadly sat down on a chair, as he watched her putting the sandwich in a box and then the box into a schoolbag. His mother noticed his sad face and walked over to him.
"Sweetie, you know he'll be back in a few hours" she said comforting, knowing what's bothering her son.
Chris nodded. He knew that and a part of him kept saying that it's really not such a big deal that Wy wouldn't be around until midday, but still – he would miss his big brother. And tomorrow Wy would have to go too.
"But why has he have to go there every day?" he asked with a small voice.
His mother smiled at this. "He don't have to go there at the weekends." Seeing that this didn't lightened up Chris' mood, she added "Look, it's just for a few hours. Wyatt would never let you alone longer than that." She didn't even lie with that. Her two sons had been always pretty close and hardly to separate.
Just as if to prove Pipers words, Wyatt orbed into the kitchen. "Morning!" he said cheerfully, but as he saw the sad expression on his baby brothers face, he immediately rushed towards him. "What's up, Chris?" he asked concerned.
Chris remained silent for a while, then he answered "Do you really have to leave?"
Wyatt smiled. "Hey, I'll be back for lunch. And then we'll spend the whole afternoon together, okay?"
Chris looked up "Really? Promise!"
"I promise, lil' brother."
Now Chris smiled too. His brother had never broken his promises to him. And now that he knew for sure that Wy would be back til afternoon, he was clearly happier.
As much as Piper enjoyed it to watch her two sons; a look on the clock told her that it was time to leave. "Now we really have to go Wyatt or you'll be late on your first day."
Wyatt nodded "Okay mommy." He started to walk out of the kitchen, but then he turned again to his brother. "Oh and Chris, this afternoon I'll beat you in 'Catch the lamp'."
Chris laughed. He loved 'Catch the lamp'. It was a game Wy and he had began to play a year ago. It all had started with an accident. He had played with his brother with a ball inside the house and Wy had hit a lamp. Chris, who had seen it, quickly had orbed it into his hand to prevent it from shatter on the floor. Wy had looked at him excitedly and had told him that they could make a game out of this.
Piper sighed as she heard Wyatt's comment. She didn't even know how many lamps her sons had already broken by playing 'Catch the lamp'. First they had just dropped the lamp in the same room as they were in, but soon one of them orbed the lamp into another room and the other one orbed after it to catch the lamp before it hit the ground. Needless to say, that this doesn't work every time.
"Leo!" Piper shouted and immediately her husband orbed into the kitchen. He gave her a quick kiss, which was commented by their sons with a loud "Eww!"
"Can you watch Chris now? I'll bring Wyatt to school" Piper said, ignoring her sons disgust about the kiss.
"Yeah sure, honey" Leo answered and kneeled down to Wyatt "Have fun and be good" he said and hugged him. Then Piper and Wyatt left the kitchen.
Chris looked after them, feeling again a bit sad. His father walked over to him and picked him up from the chair. "So, what are we going to do, buddy?"
Chris smiled at him. "How about play 'Catch the lamp'!" he exclaimed exitedly.
But Leos reaction to the mention of the game was almost the same as his wife's. He smiled weakly back at his son "How about play 'Catch the cloud'?" he asked. But his son didn't even had to give an answer to this. Leo knew that 'Catch the lamp' was much funnier then his version of it (that was actually the same just witch clouds instead of lamps, so nothing could shatter). "How about we play something whole different?" he asked then, knowing that Piper would be very mad at him, if he'd play with Chris 'Catch the lamp'.
Chris nodded half heartedly and his father orbed them to the room Chris shared with his brother. There Leo picked up a ball and said "Let's go to the park."
"Okay" Chris answered, now a little more excited. He loved playing with his father almost as much as with his big brother.
"When will they be back?" Chris asked for, what seems to Piper, the 100th time.
"They must be here in a few seconds, Chris."
Suddenly the heard the front door open and Chris immediately ran over to the hallway, where his father and Wyatt were already standing. "Hi, Chris!" Wyatt said, seeing his baby brother running towards him. "Ready to play and lose 'Catch the lamp'?"
Chris was about to answer, as his mothers voice came from behind him. "You can play later. Lunch is ready."
After that they all sat down and ate lunch. Chris and Wyatt tried to finish quickly – they wanted nothing more than to play together. As they finished they looked pleadingly at their mother. She sighed, knowing that she would hear the crash of a lamp hitting the floor this afternoon. "You can go now. But please be careful" she said to them, but they didn't even listen to the end and ran upstairs.
Once they were in their room, Wyatt grabbed the lamp that was standing on his desk. "Ready?" he asked his baby brother.
Chris nodded, smiling brightly. He had really missed Wy in the morning. His father was great and Chris loved it to spend time with him, but nobody compared to his big brother. The thought of tomorrow morning and that Wy would have to leave again made him feel sad again, but then he pushed the thought away. His brother was here now and they would spend a great afternoon together – like Wy had promised him.
"Sure" he answered and Wyatt orbed the lamp away. Chris concentrated and orbed after it, catching it in the living room before it could hit the ground. "Got it!" he yelled and Wy appeared next to him.
Chris orbed the lamp to the attic and his brother disappeared again. A second later Chris heard a crash from upstairs. He grinned. He had always been better in this game as his brother. From the kitchen he could hear his mother say "Not again…"
