Chris Still Crossed by Nehebka
Chapter 10Piper was in the kitchen making a cupo f coffee and reading the newspaper when Chris opened the door.
"Good morning" said Chris
"Good morning" replied Piper as she took a sip of toast. She finished her toast and stood up and stepped closer to Chris. "I'd like to thank you for saving Wyatt the other day. I'm afraid I was a little bit rude… I was scared to death about the idea of losing Wyatt…"
"There's no need to apologize" interrupted him. "Maybe I should have told you the truth in the first place-" he stopped and took breath. "I think you should sit down for a second"
"Oh, oh that doesn't sound good" whispered Piper to herself.
"The reason why I came to the past was to save Wyatt… my brother"
"What do you mean? You-you mean that Leo and I are –"
Chris nodded.
"But How could that happen? I-I mean, I know how that could happen but it... but-"
"Take your time. I know it's difficult to cope with that kind of news… You can't imagine how hard it had been to hide this from you for so long" Chris said looking at Piper. In that moment Leo orbed in. He stared at Piper and then at Chris.
"She knows" said Chris to Leo.
"Wait a minute, wait a minute" said Piper "Did you know who he was?" asked Piper to Leo.
Leo nodded "I found out yesterday"
She couldn't say anything. She opened her arms and hugged him
"You don't know how many times I just wanted to hug you and tell you that I love you..mum" whispered in her ear.
"Chris, honey, I'm sorry for what you had to go through" said Piper softly as she caressed the side of his face. Suddenly her expression changed "What's going to happen now?" asked Piper.
"Now it's time to leave. I must find a spell to come back to the future"
Piper nodded sadly. "Yeah of course… maybe I should go to the attick and see if there's any potion that we use to get you home" and left the kitchen.
Leo took the opportunity to talk to Chris.
"Chris I'd like to talk to you-" began Leo.
"I know what you want to say" interrupted him. "What I've lived in my future… it wasn't you dad. I was another Leo. A Leo that probably has changed as well as Wyatt. I'm glad I've known you… dad" said as they both hugged warmly.
Behind the door, Phoebe was hearing the conversation. Paige was going down the stairs when she saw her sister spying in front of the kitchen's door.
"What are you doing Phoebe!" yelled Paige.
"Hush" whispered Phoebe. Paige came closer to her and stared at her. "ok ok. I have news for you…" before Paige could say anything Phoebe continued "Chris is Pipper and Leo's son!"
"What!" yelled Paige surprised.
"She's our nephew, Wyatt's little brother"
"I didn't know Pipper was pregnant in the first place" replied Paige.
"I don't think she suspected it either" smiled Phoebe.
"What are you gossiping?" asked Piper who appered at the top of the stairs carrying Wyatt. By the look at her sisters' eyes she knew it. "You know that, don't you?"
"Know? What do you mean?" lied Phoebe as she and Paige got up the stairs.
"Come on Phoebe you can't tell lies, you never knew how to lied and neither now" said Piper.
She smiled "Yeah we know I just heard you talking in the kitchen" confessed Phoebe.
"How do you feel honey?" asked Paige.
"I-I don't know it's strange knowing from one day to another that you don't have one but two children. And the most amazing thing is that I don't have to wonder how he would be look like, I already met!" joked Piper but soon her smiled faded. "I just wished he didn't have to leave so soon… but I now these is not his place so that's why I need you to help me find a potion to get him home"
OooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooO
(Two days after)
Chris stood in front of the wall in the Great Hall drawing a large triquetra symbol in the center with a thick piece of white chalk.
"I wonder how different the future's gonna be, how much different my life is gonna be" said taking a step back, his eyes on the wall and symbol in front of him. Leo walked across the attic behind him and over hears Chris' musings.
"If anything seems different, we have another vial of this to get back right away" said Leo holding up a vial in his hand, although Chris' back was still to him. Chris was still staring at the wall in front of him, the soon-to-be gateway back to his future.
"We'll be here if you need any help" added Piper. Chris smiled and turned around to look at both.
"You worry too much, you know that?" joked Chris. "I'll be fine"
"We're our parents. It's our job to worry" said Piper.
Chris nodded happily. By coming back he hadn't just saved his brother but his family too. Chris glanced back at the wall. "Ok, let's do it".
But before they did anything, the room seemed to fill up with a bluish light. Across the room on the far wall was the core of this light. As the light brightened even more, a figure emerged surprising everyone in the room.
