StargateAngel101: Tank you! Melinda comes in this chapter actually.

Laine7727: I'm very sorry. English is sadly my worst subject. I'll try harder this time. Tanks!

hope master: She's comin'. I promise! Tanks!

A/n: Sorry I didn't update sooner. It's almost the last week of school, so things are funky. I had to go shopping for semi all week since my mom can't decide on outfits. Speaking of semi, I just went yesterday. It was um…interesting. I usually don't go to dances. Too much drama for me. All that's left is graduation and Six Flags. After that I have all summer to update. Okay time for story.

Chapter 3: Unknown Gift

"Paige!" Piper called her sister desperately. She had tried at least six times now and there was yet to be an answer. Piper hadn't seen an whitish-blue orbs in the last few minutes either.

Chris was getting worse since he had fallen unconscious. His whole body was soaked in sweat and his fever kept rising. The darklighter poison raced through his veins, attempting to end his life.

Occasionally Leo would wipe away the sweat from his son's forehead. His face appeared calm, but his eyes were holding back tears. Fear and panic swirled in the green pools.

You have to be strong. He told himself. You have to be strong, for Chris's sake. And Piper's.

Years of being a whitelighter had molded Leo into the kind of person who had to appear strong for others. Piper looked to him for support and he would give it to her, even if doubts clouded his mind. Even if he wasn't a whitelighter or and elder, he was still a husband and a father. Right now though, that's not all he needed to be. His son was dying and he was helpless. Nothing hurt him more than his son's suffering.

"I know," Piper whispered, almost so that Leo didn't hear.

"What?" he questioned her, urging her to continue. If there was any way to help his son, he'd do it.

"Maybe Wyatt could…" Piper stopped mid-sentence.

As much as Leo wanted to help Chris, he couldn't do that to Wyatt. How would Wyatt feel if he saw his own brother, that had come back from the future just to save him, dying? And how would he heal him after that?

"No, Piper. It would be too hard on him. Don't worry, though. We'll find some other way. I promise."

But what other way?He thought to himself.Leo shook those kinds of thoughts from his head. He had to be hopeful. He would save Chris.

"Why won't Paige answer?" Piper asked on the verge of tears. "Her nephew needs her, I need her." With that, Piper collapsed into tears. Sobs racked her slender frame and tears stained her cheeks. It all just seemed so hopeless.

Leo walked over to his wife and hugged her gently. He reached up and stroked her smooth hair as he tried to calm her, and his nerves.

"We will save him Piper. We won't lose him again. I promise."

"You seem to be making a lot of promises," Piper whispered. "What if you can't keep them?"

Suddenly the sparkling orbs that announced a whitelighter's arrival, filled the room. Piper instantly turned her head to greet who she thought was her younger sister. She straightened her stance and wiped her tears away.

"Paige?" she questioned, hopefully. But her bubbly little sister didn't appear before her.

Instead it was a young, brunette that came after the show of lights. She immediately crossed the room to the bed where Chris lay, seconds away from death. A look of determination and sadness was etched into her teenage features. She reached out her palms and a golden light emanated from them.

Slowly, Chris's wound started to heal. The blood vanished, the cut closed, and his shirt no longer had a hole in it. There was no evidence that he had been dying just a second ago, anywhere. The mysterious whitelighter stepped back with a smile on her face that replaced the sad look. Piper and Leo ran to their son's side. Both donned hopeful expressions.

"Chris? Can you hear me honey?" Piper questioned softly. Relief flooded her face as Chris slowly opened his beautiful green eyes, inherited from his brillant father,and sat up.

"I'm fine mom," he said in a hoarse whisper. Both parents just smiled at their healthy little boy.

Leo turned his head to thank the mysterious whitelighter, but was greeted by empty air.
