Childish Power

Disclaimer: As always… I don't owe Charmed.

Summary: One thing he regretted. He regretted of having left behind… but Chris doesn't need to wait long… a four year old girl is coming from the future… but she has more secrets than she knows

A/N: Okay… somehow I was just inspirited from this story, so I started to write the next chapter… I would have updated earlier, but my Internet broke down… but finally, here is the next chapter.

Okay, I think Evelyn is still not acting like a real four year old girl, but we could still pretend, as if she is, right :).

Okay some passages must seem a little bit quick, but I just didn't know what I should write else… and by the way… I guess this story is going to be only 6 chapters long… we will see. Have fun and please read and review…

Chapter 2:

Chris sighed… there was no time for thinking… he had work to do. He orbed to the Underworld. In a cave, where he knew they would be… eating. They were always hungry… of power and life. Chris heard the scream of agony… it seemed as if they had found their first victim. Chris closed his eyes… desperately trying to overhear the screams, but he knew he had to let the demons finish, otherwise their victim would only suffer more – he knew that…

Piper tiptoed into the kitchen, trying not to awake Phoebe. Somehow she couldn't sleep well tonight… maybe it was because of Evelyn… something … there was something that seemed familiar to her, but she just couldn't place it… Piper sighed: thinking alone in the kitchen and not coming to an answer would only cause headaches… she would talk about it later with her sisters… and maybe, just maybe they could even get some information from Evelyn herself. Now she had to concentrate on what she had planned… a big breakfast… for all of them. And Piper began to cook Pancakes.

Evelyn awoke as she smelled something unbelievable delicious, pancakes. And with her eyes still closed she noticed that she was very hungry.

"Mommy… I dreamed Daddy…" Evelyn mumbled as she opened her eyes. That was when she noticed that she wasn't in her room… and she began to panic, till she remembered what had happened the day before. Evelyn looked sad and lost for a few seconds, but this time she didn't cry… at least her Daddy was really there. She climbed out of her bed, with the teddy: Todd and slowly opened the door. As she saw nobody out there, she stepped out of her sleeping room and went to the stairs – following the sweet smell. The whole way she had the strange feeling, that she had been here once… but it didn't matter… her stomach was killing her and the it smelled so delicious… but then she heard voices and she knew, that they belonged to the three woman, from yesterday. Daddy said, they were good… Evelyn convinced herself to go to the kitchen.

The CharmedOnes were sitting at the kitchen table, talking. As Piper looked up she saw her. Standing at the doorframe, watching: With these sweet little brown eyes - shy and innocent. She was so small, no skinny. She was so skinny for her age, as if she hadn't eaten enough in the last years. Piper immediately smiled at her.

"Hey. Evelyn." She said and that caused her sisters to look to the door too and they began to smile too.

"And hello to Todd too." Paige added and Evelyn began to smile shyly.

"Are you hungry?" Piper asked and showed Evelyn a plate with three pancakes.

Evelyn hesitated for a second but then she nodded with a great smile. She climbed on the empty chair next to Phoebe and immediately began to eat.

"Chris is out… working, at the moment, but I am sure we will have a great time here together meanwhile, right?" Phoebe said with a smile, as she saw Evelyn eating.

Evelyn looked at Phoebe, not sure what she should say, but then she saw the friendly eyes and she nodded.

"Evelyn, do you like milk or orange juice?" Piper asked the girl as she was standing at the refrigerator.

"Milk, please." Evelyn said.

And the sisters smiled, because those were the first words today that she addressed to them. They all waited till Evelyn was ready with her food, but then Paige suddenly jumped from her chair.

"Damn it, I come to late to my new job." Paige cursed, she had waited on purpose, because she had decided, that she would orb to her job this time, but the time passed by faster then she had expected.

"Paige." Piper said with a mean look and then she looked shortly to Evelyn.

Paige immediately knew that Piper was angry about her cursing and she clapped her hand against her mouth… "Sorry." She mumbled.

But Evelyn didn't seem to notice… she was playing with her food, there were two pancakes left.

"Evelyn… I have to go to work now… I am sure you will have fun with Piper right?" Paige said and waved to her, but Evelyn didn't look up from her plate.

Paige frowned and she saw that her sisters looked concerned too… but she really had to go to work. Piper formed with her lips: I will take care of this. And Paige looked at her thankfully and went to the next room.

"Hey… wait for me." Phoebe suddenly said, as she noticed that she was late too and jumped from her chair, following Paige.

Piper heard the familiar orbing sound and went over to Evelyn.

"Hey… everything okay?" Piper asked carefully, as she saw that Evelyn had little tears in her eyes… out of habit she went over to Evelyn and took her into her arm and she began to rub circles on her back and soothes her.

"It's okay… everything is going to be okay." Piper whispered in the girls ear and finally she could hear Evelyn whispering…

"I couldn't… couldn't eat the cake, Mommy and I were backing…" Evelyn whispered.

Piper had to smile sadly. From what Chris had told them, her mother was probably dead, now.

"Shall we back a cake? Would you like to help me?" Piper asked and she could see a big smile on Evelyn's face…

"Choco-Cake?" Evelyn asked.

"Okay… let's back a Chocolate Cake." Piper said… that was as she heard from the Baby Monitor that Wyatt must have waken up.

"Oh… Evelyn, do you want to meet my son?" Piper asked.

Evelyn looked at her questioning.

"Come. I am sure he will be happy to meet you." Piper said with a smile and together they went upstairs in Wyatt's nursery.

Wyatt stood in his bed, holding on the grid and looked at his mother with a smile.

Piper went over to him and took him out of his bed…

"Hey, sweetheart. Look…that's Evelyn, she will stay with us for a while… I am sure you will be good friends, right?" Piper said.

Evelyn went over to Piper and Wyatt and she took Wyatt's hand… he is so small." Evelyn giggled.

"Are there no other kids, where you lived? Friends?" Piper asked as the three of them went to the living room.

Evelyn looked up to Piper. "There were only Mommy and me… and sometimes Daddy." Evelyn said, but just as she said her last words she clapped her hand before her mouth, as if she had said something forbidden.

"Everything okay?" Piper asked concerned.

Evelyn just nodded. Piper smiled and took some of Wyatt's blocks out of the box, so Evelyn and Wyatt could play with them.

"What about you and Wyatt playing a little with the blocks and later we can back your Chocolate-Cake, okay?" Piper asked.

Evelyn nodded and Piper went to the table, to work on the bills of P3. She saw with delight, that the two children seemed to have fun, although their age difference was quiet big.

"Look whom we have here." One of the demons suddenly said.

"It seems as if you are ready with your food, right?" Chris said sarcastically.

"You can be happy, that we are not after you, Christopher." The first demon said.

"Oh, so you are after an innocent child… and of course you were after HIM too, Roxy." Chris said seriously and pointed to the black mark on the floor, the last hint of the innocent, whom they had eaten a second ago. They all were still cloaked in black and they all looked the same, but Chris knew the three demons too good, to not keep them apart.

"That's not my name." The demon 'Roxy' hissed.

"What? Don't want to be remembered of your past?" Chris asked.

"Wyatt saw HIM as an nuisance, which he wanted us to liquidate." Another of the three demons said. And she saw with satisfaction that Chris got pale and swallowed.

"Yes… we only do what Wyatt orders us… even our food… and he thinks that if you are ready to risk a change in our time, then he can too." The third demon added.

Chris really didn't want to know whom they had killed just a second ago… one of his Resistance members? … He never thought that Wyatt was ready to change the future too…

"Well… Wyatt sees you as a nuisance, too… maybe he would be proud of us, if we took care of you too." 'Roxy' said.

Chris knew they were just having fun, but just at the moment he just couldn't play with them… he felt sick and so he simply orbed out, followed by the evil laughter of the three demons.

Chris orbed into the living room of the Manor. Where he saw … Evelyn playing with Wyatt and Piper watching them. Chris suddenly had the urge to jump between the two kids and keep Evelyn away from Wyatt… but he knew he was overreacting… Wyatt was a toddler, innocent and Piper would probably think he went totally crazy, so he simply smiled at the scene. Nevertheless this scene was strange, ridiculous… for someone, who knew the truth… well it would have been strange for Chris too, if he plays with Baby Wyatt – after all he was his brother – but as Wyatt still saw him as a threat… this won't happen, soon. Chris thought.

Suddenly Evelyn turned around, somehow knowing that Chris was there. And there he was hidden in the shadows.

"Da… Chris!" Evelyn said happy and jumped up and ran into his arms.

Chris wrinkled his nose because Evelyn nearly slipped the truth but she only giggled.

"Sorry." She whispered into his ear as he uplifted her from the ground. He rolled his eyes and with this the subject was forgotten.

"Hey…" Piper said as she saw Chris… suddenly she wasn't so sure how to react in front of Chris… he seemed so different with Evelyn, they both acted as if he was her father… but that couldn't be, right… he must have been pretty young as he became father and Evelyn called him Chris, she hardly knew children who called their parents with their first name, especially not in that age…

"We just wanted to bake a Chocolate-Cake." Piper informed him.

"Oh… then I guess I shouldn't bother you." Chris said and let Evelyn back to the ground, who ran over to Wyatt.

"Look, that is my … that is Chris… a verrry good friend." Evelyn said with a smile to Wyatt and pointed to Chris. "Look, Chris… that is my new friend Wyatt…say hello okay." She added with a sweet look to Chris…

Oh, great… Chris thought. "I know Wyatt already, Evelyn." Chris said, not moving near Wyatt… not wanting to know what Piper would do, when she sees that Wyatt rises up his shield against him. "Chris please." Evelyn said and ran over to Chris, grabbed his hand and pulled him to Wyatt. Piper watched the scene with a smile… and to Chris surprise Wyatt didn't activate his shield, he just looked at Chris and then to Evelyn and as Evelyn had finally managed, that Chris and Wyatt shook hands, she seemed very proud of herself and Chris finally had to smile too. Wyatt trusted him… and Wyatt trusted Evelyn – which was a good sign, well it was probably because they both were kids. "So Evelyn… do you want to bake now?" Piper finally asked.

"Yes… Choco-Cake… Chris can bake veeerrrry sweet Choco-Cake." Evelyn.

"Oh, really?" Piper said surprised and looked at Chris. "You can bake?"

Chris looked embarrassed… "Well… my mother taught me. And I don't think that sweet was the right word." He said and his last words were mentioned for Evelyn.

"No… sweet is sweet." She only said and Chris had to shake his head but laughed.

Evelyn really seemed to show a totally different Chris, Piper thought. In the end they all went to the kitchen and began to bake a Choco-Cake.

"By the way… Chris… how went the demonstration?" Piper asked, while Chris seemed concentrated in showing Evelyn how to mix the dough right.

"I think the demonstration could take a few more days, till it calms down." Chris admitted.

"What?" Piper asked shocked, surprised… she didn't really know… she actually had thought that he had already vanquished them. And then she had to keep Wyatt from dipping his fingers into the softened chocolate.

"Shall we help?" Piper asked, although she actually wasn't so thrilled to go demon hunting again.

"Ehm, no… I guess I can handle it." Chris said.

Later they had baked a big Choco-Cake and as it was cooled off, Phoebe and Paige came home.

"Hey… do I smell Choco-Cake?" Phoebe asked as she came into the kitchen.

"You two come just in the right moment… the cake is ready." Piper said and began to cut the cake, while Paige fetched some plates.

"As you are here… does that mean the demonstration is finished?" Phoebe asked Chris, who had Evelyn on his lap.

"No… but don't worry. I keep my promise…I can handle this." Chris said a little bit peeved.

"Okay…" Phoebe said. "So how was your day, Evelyn?" she changed the subject.

"I played with Wyatt…" she answered happy. " and we bake cake."

"Baked." Chris corrected her.

"Baaaaked." Evelyn said peeved, so Chris tousled her hair.

"Hey…" she said and they all had to laugh.

After they all ate their piece of cake, Chris brought Evelyn in Phoebe's room and let her sleep for a while and then he simply left.

He was on the Golden Gate Bridge. Somehow he was mad at Evelyn. He knew that he showed a totally different side of him in front of the sisters and he didn't like it… This was still his mission and he needed to focus. For a few seconds it had felt like home again. As if they were one family… he couldn't do that… he had to focus and he had to find the demon who turned Wyatt and he had to bring the three demons back in their time. There was so much to do. He couldn't think about family now…

The next day was a Saturday and the CharmedOnes took Evelyn and Wyatt out to a parish fair and they went shopping… they all had a lot of fun, but as it was time for Evelyn to sleep, she noticed sadly that her Daddy didn't come to see her today, although he had promised.

Chris meanwhile was actually in the Underworld… searching for the three demons – he had lost their trail since he had orbed away the day before and he had the bad feeling that it was the worst decision he had ever made. He knew that he should visit Evelyn, but he wanted to avoid the sisters. But after he killed – what seemed to him like the thousandth - demon today, Chris finally orbed out of the Underworld and appeared in Phoebe's room. He saw Evelyn already sleeping and from what he saw in her room, he could imagine, that she had a great day – also without him. The three Halliwell sisters really know how to spoil somebody. He quietly went over to Evelyn and caressed her hair. He watched her sleeping for a while and then he finally kissed her on the forehead and orbed out again… Deep down in her dreams Evelyn knew that her Daddy had been there and a smile appeared on her face.

The next few days went similar. The sisters took care of Evelyn and Chris went demon hunting, without showing up once, when they were all awake. For the sisters' luck and surprise no demon attacked and Wyatt didn't use his power either.

About a week later…

Evelyn was sitting in the living room, drawing, while Wyatt sat nearby and was playing with his blocks and Paige watched them, while she was reading a book. Piper and Phoebe were in the kitchen preparing dinner.

"Pai…" Evelyn just wanted to talk to Paige as to her surprise suddenly a blue-white light appeared in the middle of the room and a man appeared out of nowhere in front of her.

"Paige… we need the Power of Three." Leo said and went over to Wyatt and took him into his arm, unaware of the little girl who looked at him in shock.

"Leo…" Paige said and jumped from her chair, shocked. She saw the confused look of Evelyn and cursed Leo for being so stupid. She rushed over to Evelyn. "Hey, sweety… it's okay. He is good. He is Wyatt's Daddy." Paige told Evelyn, who couldn't keep her eyes from Leo.

That was when Leo finally noticed Evelyn. "What…but I sensed the room, how can she be here?" Leo said shocked and was ready to use some memory dust.

Piper and Phoebe heard the noises in the living room and went there to check…

"What happened?" Piper asked her ex-husband, she hasn't expected him till next week.

"Leo orbed in and Evelyn saw it." Paige simply explained.

"Don't you check things first, before you orb in?" Phoebe asked, knowing the normal responsible attitude of her brother in law, ex-brother in law, especially if it concerns revealing magic.

"I did." Leo said confused. "But I only could sense you three and Wyatt… even now. I don't sense her." He said. "Who is she?"

"How did you do that?" Evelyn asked, before anybody could answer and looked at Leo expectantly.

"Do you believe in magic, Evelyn?" Paige asked her.

"PAIGE!" all the other adults yelled at her.

"What? Chris said, that we should hide magic from her, as good as possible… and we did… I mean, she has a heritage… she should know it, don't you think." Paige defended herself.

"Chris is going to kill us." Phoebe said.

"Well he doesn't need to know… come on, all the time… we all wanted some answers, maybe it's time now…" Paige said.

"Wait, what has Chris to do with it." Leo asked confused.

They all didn't notice the confused and scared look on Evelyn's face… they were talking about magic – her mother always told her, that something like that didn't exist… and they were talking about her Daddy and that they wanted to hide something from him and she had never hidden something from him, ever… and the man who appeared out of nowhere… she just understood nothing… and so she did the only thing she thought was right.

"DADDY!" Evelyn cried.

The room was suddenly silent… they all looked at Evelyn with shock and then… blue-white orbs appeared in the room.
