Apparently the visions weren't over as the found themselves in the storage room of P3, the room Chris slept in.

The room was dark but they could see the leather dressed Bianca sitting in the only chair in the room.

"Oh, no," Phoebe mumbled. She knew what was about to happen. "I didn't mean we would see this too," she said.

The door opened and Chris walked in. He turned the light on and saw his fiancé for the first time in months. He was clearly shocked but managed to close the door.

"Bianca?"

She got up and Chris walked towards her. They face each other and Chris asked confused, "I don't understand. What are you doing here?" She puts her finger over his lips and hushed him.

"Ssh. There will be time to explain later." She dragged her finger from his neck down to his chest, "but for now…" her face turned cold on a second and she plunged her hand into his chest. Power began to transfer from Chris to Bianca and his strength left him.

In that moment the door opened. "Hey, Chris, you know, all work and no – Hey!" Piper exclaimed when she sees the unfamiliar woman with a hand in their whitelighters chest.

Bianca pulled her hand out and formed an energy ball. Piper quickly blew her up. Chris fell down with his back against a cabinet, his face twisted in pain and disbelief. Concerned Piper walked towards him, "Are you ok?"

Chris sat there stunned but managed to make a lie, "Yeah. I think so."

Helping him up Piper asked, "What happened? Who was she?"

The lie came easily over Chris' lips and he looked her straight into her face, "I don't know."

The air shimmered as the moved to the next memory.

"You know, I understand why he lied to her," Phoebe said, "How do you explain it was your fiancé who attack?"

"You can't," Paige said.

"Exactly."

They looked around and saw that they were in the same place in the park where Chris proposed. Of course the park looked better now.

The saw the blue and white orbs coming down from above and guessed it as Chris. His orbs didn't look healthy and it took longer for him to materialize. When he did he looked sick.

From behind a weeping angel statue Bianca stepped forward, "You really shouldn't try to orb anymore, you know," she said. "It could kill you." She walked towards him.

"Is that what you want?" Chris asked.

She smiled sarcastically and began circle him like a predator, "If that's what I wanted, you'd already be dead. All I want is to bring you back."

She passed him and he had a look of sorrow on his face, "How'd you know I'd be here?" he asked.

"Same reason you knew I'd be waiting here. I mean, this is till our spot…" she stopped besides the bench, "… isn't it?"

"No," Chris answered, "This is what we hoped it would be. This is what we were trying to preserve for our future. Do you remember?"

"We were naïve to think we could change anything…" she said, "… to stop him."

"You don't believe that," he said looking at her. "Or at least you didn't."

"Well, I do now."

"What happened to you, Bianca? How did he turn you back?"

She took a step forward and raised her foot on the bench. Leaning on her knee she said, "That's not important. What is important is that I was interrupted in stripping you of your powers, and if I don't finish what I started, you'll die soon. Think of it as ... an infection," she said with a wicked smile, " And I'm the only one with the antidote."

"Here or there," he said turning to her, "I'm dead anyway."

"No," she said and put her foot down on the ground again. "He gave me his word he wouldn't hurt you. Now, please, Chris, don't make this any harder than it has to be."

Chris didn't answer her, instead he looked at her and then orbed away. Bianca reached out trying to stop him but wasn't fast enough.

The air started shimmer again and the two sisters were moved.

"Poor Chris," Phoebe said, "This had to have been so hard on him,"

"And we didn't exactly help," Paige said.

They now stood in Bianca's mother's apartment. Bianca was working on the unconscious Chris who lay on the couch.

"Just let me finish what I started. You'll feel better soon. I promise," she said quietly. "That's it. Easy does it," she removed her hand and Chris opened his eyes.

"Slow breath," she instructed. He looked at her and asked angrily, "What'd you do to me?"

Just as angry Bianca answered, "I just saved your life."

"By taking away my powers?" he wondered. She didn't answer. Instead she got up, took a piece of chalk, waked over to the wall and removed the picture hanging on it. Chris sat up and watched as Bianca tossed the picture on the floor and began drawing the triquetra on the wall.

"How are you gonna bring me back anyway?" he asked. "The spell's a one-way door. It only goes backwards in time."

"He created a new spell because of you. One that works both ways."

"I'm touched," he said sarcastically.

"You should be," she said looking at him. "He's gone to a lot of trouble to get you back."

"Yeah. I see that."

Stopping she turned around, "You know, you don't have to believe me, Chris, but this really is for the best."

"Oh really?" Chris asked. "How's that?"

Bianca walked forward and said, "Because this is your only chance to live. If I fail, he'll just keep sending more assassins back, and all they have to bring home is a body."

Chris shrugged, "Doesn't matter," he reached into his pocket. "There's nothing left in the future anymore anyway," and tossed the engagement ring on the table. Bianca looks at the ring with hurt on her face. Her look turned cold as Chris leaned back on the couch and she turned back to the unfinished drawing without another word.

"Poor Bianca," Phoebe said watching,

"Poor Bianca? She's bringing him back so Wyatt can kill him," Paige argued.

"But she doesn't know that," Phoebe point out. "She still loves him it's all over her face."

Chris got up from the couch and walk closer to the wall when Bianca finish.

"You really expect me to jump into this thing like before," he asked.

"Not without a fight, no"

Chris sighed and turned away. He walked closer to the window with Bianca watching. Turning around he asked her accusingly, "How can you bee so cold? How can you stand there and pretend we never meant anything to each other?"

"I don't have a choice," Bianca defended herself.

"Bianca… please don't do this," he pleaded. Bianca looked down and her cold mask slipped away. "Don't give up on everything that we fought for," he begged, walking closer.

"I'm not," she said quietly, "I'm just hoping we can find another way." She looked back up and her mask is on again, "Um… ready?"

With not much of a choice Chris turned towards the wall. In that moment Piper, Paige and Phoebe orb in. Piper walked forward and address Bianca, "Hey! Future girl." Bianca turns around and Piper threw a vial at her. Bianca threw a conjured athame and shimmered out. The athame break the vial and Piper froze it in front of her. Bianca shimmered in and before anyone can do anything she grabbed the athame and holds it at Piper's throat.

"You were saying?"

"Wow. She is good." Phoebe was impressed.

"Well, she was," Phoebe defended herself at Paige's glare. "You can't say you weren't impressed by that."

Paige didn't answer.

"I thought so."

Paige stepped forward.

"Ah ah!" The half demon warned. "I can kill her in half the time it takes you to even think about it," Bianca said, pressing the athame a little bit more at Pipers throat.

"Yeah, well, we still have enough potion to vanquish you," Paige said trying to get out of this.

"Maybe. But then you really will have to hope the Power of Two will do," she looked at Paige, "won't you Paige?" Paige looked surprised.

"Oh, you'd be surprised what's in the history books," Bianca explained. "Now put the vials down, slowly." Paige and Phoebe did as told.

Behind her Chris spoke up, "Bianca, don't. Let her go and I promise I'll go with you."

"Chris, what are you doing?" Paige asked. Chris ignored her and continued talking to Bianca, "If you kill her, there won't be a future for either of us to go back to, and you know it."

"What are you talking about?" Phoebe asked confused.

"I know, I know!" Phoebe bounced up and down happily.

"Now I get it," Paige said with a smile.

"You'll see if you live long enough," Bianca said to Phoebe.

Bianca backed up and let Piper go. She turned and walked to Chris.

"Piper, freeze them," Paige says. Piper did but both Bianca and Chris kept moving to the others surprise.

"Aah! Ok, I get why she didn't freeze," Piper said scratching her head in confusion. "But why didn't he freeze."

"Un-unless he's—he's a—," Phoebe stuttered.

"I'm a witch, too?" Chris said looking at them. Paige's jaw dropped ungracefully. The three sisters looked at him like they can't believe it.

"That's right," Chris continued, "Part witch, part whitelighter. Just like you, Paige."

"Ok, now it's just obvious," Phoebe said, "Why didn't we think of this then?"

"Yeah, I mean, there's only one Whitelighter that has been allowed to have a family," Paige agreed, "and I don't think the Elders made any other exceptions during the next decades."

"You lied to us?" Paige asked. Bianca watch all this with a smile finding it very amusing.

"I had to," Chris said, "It was the only way to get you to trust me."

"Trust you?" Phoebe said, stating that she didn't trust him.

"Oh, I didn't mean that. I really didn't," Phoebe said.

"Never mind. It doesn't matter anyway."

"So that's it?" Piper asked. "You just gonna leave?"

"I don't have a choice. She stripped my powers," he said annoyed that they didn't understand.

Piper didn't have anything to say to that. She looked up as Chris spoke to her again, "It looks like Leo's gonna have to fix that floorboard without me."

Seeing that she got the message Chris turned to Bianca, "Let's go."

Bianca waves her hand, activating the portal. They turn and start walking. Chris takes her hand. Just as they are about to disappear Chris turns around and looks back at the sisters.

The air shimmered and Phoebe and Paige found themselves in the attic.

"Ok, I think it's over now," Phoebe said when nothing happened.

"Lets go and find Piper," Paige said and began walking out.

"Paige, should we really tell her about Chris?" Phoebe asked even though she knew how bad she was at keeping secrets.

"If we tell her to treat Chris better she will want to know why. So yes," Paige answered.

"Ok, but don't blame me if she accidentally blow you up."

Piper was bustling around in the kitchen preparing breakfast. At the table was Wyatt with his bowl of rice pudding, although every time Piper would have her back to him he would orb a cookie, or two, from the cookie jar.

Piper was working herself up. She had already cocked enough food to feed a small army and it didn't look like she was going to stop.

And the reason she was like this; her two sisters were on a memory quest of sort and hadn't come back yet. Piper was worried and curious and just wish they would be home soon.

Hearing orbing behind her, thinking it was Paige; she let out a breath and turned around, with a plate of sandwiches in her hands.

"Thank Good! I started to worr… – Chris!"

And it was. Chris. Her neurotic Whitelighter, who had been MIA since he came back from the future five days ago. She looked at him and he didn't look good. Putting the plate on the counter she walked around the kitchen island and over to him.

"Are you ok?" she asked and put her hand on his forehead, to Chris' surprise. "You're burning up! When was the last time you slept?"

"Can't remember," he said giving a surprisingly honest answer. Maybe he was tired of lying all the time.

Frowning Piper asked, "and ate?"

"A while."

Shocked she led him to the table and made him sit down next to Wyatt. She walked back and got the plate. She put it on the table and with a commanding voice she said, "Eat."

She sat down across of him and began helping Wyatt with his food. Once in a while she would look at Chris.

"Where have you been these last few days?" she wondered.

He looked at her and put down his half eaten sandwich. He sighed and looked sad; "I haven't exactly been myself since I came back," he offered vaguely. Remembering that he came back to save her son, even though he didn't know she knew, Piper decided to help as much a she could. She had thought about that a lot during the night and had come to the conclusion that she had been unfair to Chris and she wanted to make it up to him.

"I know what you mean," she said. "You lost someone you loved, Chris. You can't be expected to act as you use too."

"I went crazy, is more like it," he didn't want to say more than that.

"I did to, Chris. That's nothing you will be blamed for," she offered. Seeing his unspoken question she said, "I lost my older sister Prue, three years ago, to a demon. After that I wasn't exactly myself and a run in with some furies didn't turn out the best," she said with a shudder, remembering.

Quietly Chris told her what he had been doing, "After I left you in the attic I didn't know what to do. I was so angry. After I left the house I immediately orbed down to the underworld and started killing every demon I saw."

"That was dangerous. What if they caught you?" Piper scolded softly.

"They tried the first days. But my anger and sorrow must have given my powers a boost because they couldn't harm me. After that it became more of a hide and seek with them," he sighed and picked up the sandwich. "I came to my senses this morning and orbed here directly."

She smiled glad that he did. Maybe they would be able to make it up the way they treated him.

"Now eat up and then you will go to bed. And I won't take a no for an answer," she commanded again.

The next minutes were in a comfortable silence, until her two sisters came crashing in and broke it. Paige began speaking right after she opened the door.

"Piper, you won't believe what we… - Chris!" Both Phoebe and Paige stopped and looked at him. Piper didn't know what to make out of there expressions.

"You know, I think I'm going to take a shower," Phoebe said, "yes, I shower, I feel dirty."

Living so long with Phoebe, Piper knew when she had a secret she just wanted to blurt out.

"You do that," Piper said, "Chris is just going to eat and then going to sleep," she said looking at Chris.

"Yes, mom," he joked, but made Paige choke on the glass of water she was drinking. "Sorry! Think I swallowed a fly," she tried to cover it up.

Phoebe on the other hand fought hard with herself to not blurt out 'You are his mom' and said instead, "I really going to take that shower now. Bye," she then rushed out.

"Ok," Piper said, "Chris, you can sleep in my bed if you want. I'm going to find out what's wrong with my sister."

Chris wanted to object but he was too tired and seeing his mothers face made him orb up to her room immediately.

After watching Chris orb away Piper turned to Paige.

"What in hell did you see in the memories that made you react like that in Chris presence?"
