Chapter Three

Leo sat down at the kitchen table, laid his head in his hands and blew out a loud sigh. "He hates me,"

"He doesn't hate you,"

"Yes he does Piper. He couldn't get away from me quick enough. I know my future self wasn't there for him very much. But he couldn't have been that bad surely,"

Piper made her way over to the table and groaned as she sat down. "You alright?" Leo asked concerned.

"Yeah," she sighed "I had forgotten what it felt like to carry a beach ball under your top, haven't done it since Wyatt,"

"You're alright though?" Leo asked concerned.

"Yeah. I'm just tired. Not every expectant mom has to deal with spiders and demons trying to turn her sons evil,"

"And the baby… Is he alright?" Leo asked motioning to her stomach "Everything normal and healthy?"

Piper laughed "Well I hope so, since he's twenty two and walking around,"

Leo smirked at the comment and shook his head "I can't get my head around this,"

"You can't!" Piper exclaimed, "Imagine how I feel. I'm the only mother who can ever say that she knows exactly what her baby's going to be like even before he's born,"

"He's a good kid isn't he," Leo said smiling. "I feel so ashamed of the way I've treated him,"

"Your not the only one Leo. Neither one of us trusted him and we both made him well aware of that on several occasions," Piper's eyes tiered up.

"Hey," Leo soothed wiping the tears that began to fall "What's wrong?"

"It's just. I've treated him so badly. He's my baby and I was horrible to him," she cried "It must have been so difficult for him. Were his parents and he had to keep that from us. He couldn't even call us mom and dad,"

"I know," Leo sighed, "I can't imagine how lonely he must have felt. I've tried to talk to him but he won't let me in. I just want to know what I've done that's so bad,"

A small smile pulled at the sides of her face. "Maybe we can," Piper saw the puzzled look on his face "Come on. I'll enlighten you on the way to the attic,"

"Piper I don't know if this is a good idea,"

"Yet you're going to do it anyway," Piper grinned, causing Leo to smirk as well. One thing was for sure when Piper wanted him to do something Leo usually ended up doing it.

"Have you found anything in the book yet?" Leo asked

"Yeah, this seems to be the one," Piper answered, "The book says that we have to insert Chris' name to find the truth. Leo I've been thinking are you sure you want to go because we may see things that we don't really want to see,"

"I don't really think I have a choice. Not if I want to salvage any type of relationship with Chris. Plus I don't want to make the same mistake with little Chris,"

"Alright. Here we go," Piper began reading from the book.

"We call upon time to guide us,

To let us see what has not been seen.

Give us guidance into Chris' past.

So he can feel freedom at last,"

The blue orbs that were forming before them soon materialised into a familiar face.

"Chris?"

"No sorry I'm not actually Chris," He could tell from their blank expressions that they were not grasping what he was saying. "I'm Chris' Id if you like. His subconscious, think of me as your tour guide in the world of Chris!" he grinned excitedly. "So," he continued, "Do you want to meet the man in questioned?"

Before they could answer, he grabbed their hands and orbed them all into the kitchen of the manor. There they saw a pregnant Piper making breakfast for Wyatt and Chris.

"This was when I was three," Tour guide Chris informed them "Well, when Chris was three,"

Piper and Leo watched the scene as it unfolded. While the boys were eating their cereal Leo orbed in. "Daddy," a very excited Chris cried out. Past Leo watched his child's face light up at the presence of his father. Something he himself believed that he would never see from Chris again. However his future self seemed rather oblivious to his younger son as he pulled Wyatt from his chair and spun him around.

"Leo please," Piper exclaimed "He's eating his breakfast, I don't want have to clean up puke and coco pops,"

"Sorry," Leo laughed "So how's daddy's twice blessed hey. I've missed you," he said ignoring Piper's request.

"I missed you to daddy. So has Chris," Wyatt answered.

"Hey Chris," Leo said finally acknowledging his son. " And how's my baby boy then?"

Chris gave the cutest smile "I'm fine da..," Chris' smile quickly vanished as he realised that Leo wasn't talking to him, but to Piper's belly.

"He's fine?" Piper smiled "Playing football with my bladder," Piper could see the hurt look in Chris' eyes and tried to steer the conversation away from the baby "Chris has something to show you haven't you Chris,"

Chris brightened up.

"Later," Leo dismissed him "I've got to go," he kissed Wyatt's head and orbed away.

"Leo!" Piper yelled. She couldn't believe it. "Leo get your whitelighting ass back down here now," She got no answer. Wyatt started to notice Chris' eyes tearing up and his bottom lip shake.

"Chris daddy's really busy, that's why he couldn't stay. You can show him later,"

Piper picked her youngest son up and hugged him "I'm sorry sweetie Wyatt's right daddy's got to go help people. You can show him later,"

"I never did," Chris told past Leo and Piper "I had wanted to show you my new power for days, but you hadn't really been around that often. I had learnt how to levitate whilst trying to reach my beaker cup off the Kitchen table. Mom had told me how proud she was of me and just then I was going to show you,"

Chris saw the look of shock on Leo's face; the scene in front of him was unbelievable. He couldn't believe his future self could ignore his own child, a child who was just trying to get his father's attention.

"If you think this is bad, I'd get off the ride now Leo," Chris told him "It only gets worse from now on. You may not get off it in one piece. God knows I haven't!" Chris left that last comment lingering as he walked past his parents and out of the kitchen.
