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

Piper's outburst made Paige question the idea of telling her about Chris, she didn't exactly have the most stable mind right now, and Phoebe was probably right when she said Piper would blow her up when she found out and being blown up was not something Paige wanted to experience. Thankfully, Phoebe hesitantly peeking in by the doorway saved her from having to tell, for now anyway.

"Is he gone?" the middle sister asked taking a quick look around the kitchen. Not seeing the young Whitelighter she walked in without waiting for an answer.

"Good you're here," Piper said with something resembling steel in her voice. "Explain. Now!" she demanded.

"Well, we did found out some stuff about Chris," Phoebe started slowly, and lost her nerve. "Paige will explain it to you," she rushed on.

Glaring at her sister Paige started talking. "We did found out that Chris was the leader of a resistance group. Bianca was one of Wyatt's demons before Chris saved her…" Paige stopped uncertain on how to continue. She looked at Phoebe for help but recieved none. She sighed in annoyance.

Piper seeing there was something else pushed on, "and…?"

"AndChrisisyourson."

Piper blinked, and then blinked again. "WHAT?" she almost yelled, having understood Paige's fast speaking. Paige and Phoebe immediately shushed her in fear of Chris hearing.

"You're joking, right?" she wondered upset. "This is just a really bad joke?"

"I'm afraid it's not," Phoebe said preparing for the worst. To her surprise Piper started smiling.

"Chris is my son?"

"Yes… Piper you're smiling!" Phoebe pointed out.

"Why shouldn't I? I'm going to be a mom again," she said sitting down on a chair by the table.

"Yes, but Piper, its Chris! Aren't you at least a little bit upset that it is Chris?" Paige asked.

Piper looked at her sisters and seemed to be in deep thoughts. After some tense minutes she opened her mouth. "You know what? No I'm not," she said calmly, "I think I couldn't be happier that Chris is my son," she got up and started pacing. "He's brave, smart, maybe a little too neurotic for what I would want but he's doing this huge thing by coming to the past trying to save Wyatt."

"You have no idea, how huge," Phoebe muttered quietly.

"And he is stubborn," Piper continued. "He has been here what? Eight… nine months? And we've treated him horribly and yet he never gave up," it seemed like what she just said sunk in because she satdown on a chair and stared at her sisters. "He must hate me. I have threatened to blow him up more then once and have done horrible things to him."

"Oh, Piper," Phoebe said feeling sorry for her sister. She walked over and hugged her and Paige joined them. "We have all done some things to him. I just hope he can forgive us," she continued.

"I think getting his forgiveness is going to be even harder when he finds out that we went through his memories," Paige pointed out. Piper became stiff. She turned towards Paige and said, "It won't, because we will not tell him."

"But Piper we must…" Phoebe said.

"We can't let him go through this alone…" Paige agreed.

"… You know what a bad liar I am," Phoebe continued her own sentence.

"… Now that we know who he is it will be easier," Paige finished trying to make Piper see reasons.

"Yes I know," Piper argued and got up on her feet. "But if we tell him he might think that the little trust we gave him after he returned was a bluff and who knows what he will do."

Phoebe looked at her oldest sister. She knew that Piper had a point but she didn't think that was the main reason to not tell him. "Or maybe he would be so angry that he wouldn't want anything to do with you," she said causally, hitting the nail on its head. Piper turned and glared angrily.

"I might have a chance to mend some of the damage I must have done to him during his stay in the past," she said to Phoebe with a hard tone. "I will not cause him more pain before I know he might actually forgive me for it." She turned to the door. "Excuse me but I'm going to check on Chris and make sure he's actually sleeping and not standing over the Book of Shadows." With that she walked out the door.

Phoebe turned to Paige who was leaning on the sink. She sighs and shrugged her shoulders.

Paige gave her a small smile. "It may not have gone as good as we would have wanyed, but think positive; she didn't blow us up."

Piper walked up the stairs cursing Phoebe (in a non magical way). But she knew Phoebe was right. She didn't want Chris to know because he would most certainly be angry, defensive and would probably hate them.

She sighed as she came to the corridor and walked to her room. She opened the door carefully and looked inside. On the bed lay Chris sound asleep with one arm under his head.

Piper smiled at the sight. He looked so carefree, with no problems or fears. Her gaze fell on his face and she was startled with how much he actually looked like her and she never figured it out. Now that she thought about it she could see much of herself in his personality also.

Oh, Chris! I'm so sorry for what I have done. I hope you will forgive me one day.

Her thoughts were interrupted when Chris began trash around on the bed. His face turned from fearful to sad to anger.

"No…no, mom… don't… why… don't… leave…" she didn't know what he was dreaming but apparently it was bad. She quickly walked over to the bed and sat down. She began stroking him over his hair and tried to be as comforting as possible.

"Ssh, sweetie. Mommy's here. Everything's going to be alright," he began calming down so she continued, "don't worry, just sleep."

She didn't know how long she sat there with him after he calmed down but she really didn't care. She was a little worried about him since he didn't wake up when she talked to him. He must have been really exhausted!

The tingling sound and blue white orbs announced her ex husband's arrival. She looked up at him as he materialized. He saw Chris on the bed.

"Piper, what…?"

But Piper didn't let him finish. "Ssh, or you will wake him," she hushed him quietly. "Chris told me he hasn't slept since he came back from the future."

"Maybe this is just a distraction. He might be lying to get to Wyatt," that was the wrong thing to say. Leo apparently figured that out and quickly orbed out a few seconds before Piper could blow him up. She quickly got up and left Chris on the bed.

Paige and Phoebe hadn't left the kitchen and were enjoying the food Piper cooked while they were gone, when Leo orbed in looking shocked and a little scared. His tense body relaxed a little when he saw them.

"Hey, what's wrong with Piper?" he asked. "She just tried to blow me up."

Concerned, both for Leo and Piper, Phoebe asked, "Why?"

"I just said that Chris might be up to something." Leo quickly got his guard up when he saw that his statement had the same effect on his former sister-in-laws as it had on Piper.

"Leo, you didn't!" Paige exclaimed angrily. Leo didn't have time to defend himself for in that moment Piper ran in. She quickly got over to Leo and it looked like she was going to punch him. But she couldn't because Paige held her back.

"Leo, don't you dare say stuff like that about Chris," Phoebe started but got interrupted by Piper.

"What you said about him was uncalled for. We told you about the memory with older Wyatt." Leo flinched , hearing his son was going to grow up and become such a cruel man was something he wanted to forget. "You know why Chris came to the past."

"But was that real? It might have been something Chris made up," Leo said in denial. The three sisters looked at him in disbelief.

"Leo, we found out something more about Chris," Phoebe said, defending her nephew. "Paige and I did another memory quest," looking for Pipers approval and got it Phoebe dropped the bomb. "Chris is yours and Pipers son"

Leo's reaction was noting like the sisters. He went pale and after that angry.

"That's not true," he denied, upset. "That's just something Chris managed to get you to believe. There's no way Chris is my son."

Phoebe and Paige stared at him in disbelief but Piper was seething in anger.

"Out," she said in a quiet, cold voice. "Get out, now!"

"Piper, don't you see?" Leo tried to make his former wife see reason. "He is doing this to break everyone apart, to get you to trust him and then…" he stopped when he saw how close Piper was to hit him, and this time Paige obviously was going to let her.

"Leo, I think is best if you go," Phoebe said, she too saw how close Piper was of losing control. Leo looked at them disapprovingly and orbed out.

"I don't believe him," Piper called out angrily.

"Ok, calm down, Piper," Phoebe said. "He will come around."

"That's right," Paige agreed and managed to calm Piper some. "We better go and try to find that demon we were looking for. You can get your anger out on him."

The three of them walked out and up to the attic. What they didn't know was that there was already someone up there.

After orbing out of the kitchen Leo arrived in the attic. He decided to prove the girls wrong and the only way he could think of doing that were their way; going through Chris' memories. This was normally something he shouldn't do but seeing this as an emergency, he as an Elder, could bend the rules.

He read a spell he made, not a good one but he would work. But as he was done the three Charmed Ones walked in just as the air started to shimmer and they all were pulled into a memory.
