Chapter 2:

"Hey, Bianca! The pizza's here!" Chris shouted after he paid the delivery man and shut the door behind him.

"Bring it into the living room! I don't feel like getting up!"

Chris smiled as he carried the warm box into the living room and saw her lying on the couch with her feet propped on the table. "Geez, the pregnancy sure brought out the lazy side of you."

"Hahaha, you're so funny Chris. You're not the one carrying another human being in your stomach!" She exclaimed.

"Wow, I guess it brought out the scary side of you too," he replied with a grin. He barely missed a flying pillow that was launched at his head as he placed the box on the table and sat down by his girlfriend.

"If you want to see scary, I suggest you keep talking."

"Ok, shutting up now."

"That's what I thought." She replied as she reached down and opened up the box to reveal a large pineapple and sardine pizza. She grabbed a slice and quickly began gobbling it down.

"I'm guessing this is one of your strange pregnancy cravings," Chris remarked as he glanced down at the pizza with a scrunched face.

"It's really good, Chris! Here, try one," she said as she handed him a slice.

"I think I'll pass," he replied as he shook his head.

Frowning, Bianca took a bite of the pizza and said, "Fine, more for me and the baby then!"

Chris quietly watched, as she continued to eat until she finally noticed him staring at her.

"Are you okay, sweetie? You've been quieter than usual. Did something happen at the manor? Did your parents see you orb in last night?" she asked with a concern expression across her face.

"No, I'm ok." He answered as he flashed her a reassuring grin.

She frowned back at him, "Chris, don't even think about raising that 'Everything is perfect' mask on me. It may work for your family, bet I know you better than that. You know I can read you like a book. Now, talk to me."

Chris knew she was telling the truth. Ever since he had met her 3 years ago, she was always able to see behind the face he put up and know that something was wrong. When they had first met, he had been slightly intimidated by her, since she was a year and a half older than him and was the most gorgeous woman he had ever met. But shortly after they had met, he discovered that she had feelings for him too and the two had hit it off from there.

About 4 months after they had started dating Chris had the shock of his life after he had walked in on Bianca shimmering into a room. The first thought that had popped into his head was, 'I fell for a demon. I guess the Halliwell tradition continues.' But after Bianca had finally managed to calm Chris down, they had sat down together and talked things out. He discovered that Bianca was in fact a phoenix, a group of assassin witches, but never took up the family tradition and chose to live life as normally as possible.

However, Chris was not the only one that had a huge shock. Bianca was astonished to find out that she had been dating the son of a Charmed One. Of course being a witch, she had heard all about the powerful Charmed Ones, but had never dreamed that she would fall in love with one of their sons.

Meeting Bianca was probably the best thing that had ever happened in his life. Up until then, Chris didn't really have anyone he could really talk to when he was upset or feeling ignored at the manor. Sure, he had his two brothers, but Chris had never felt comfortable talking to them about how he truly felt.

Up until the time he met Bianca, Chris had been bottling up all the emotions that had built up over the past years. His guilt, his depression, his pent up anger, the feeling of inferiority. Bianca was a way he could release his emotions and find some comfort in someone. This feeling of comfort only added to their relationship and his love for her.

"Piper got mad at me this morning at breakfast. I woke up late and she figured out that I came in late last night. Now, Leo and her are going to 'talk' to me tonight." He didn't really know when he began referring to his parents by their first name, but he knew it really showed the distance that had been created between him and his family.

Bianca sighed and put her arm around her boyfriend, "Its okay, sweetie. It'll be okay."

"No, it's not just that. Bianca, we can't keep hiding this from them," he said as he motioned to her stomach. "What happens once the baby is born? Do I keep sneaking out every night to be here with you two? I can't do that to the baby. I want to really be there for you two. But in order to do that, I have to tell my family the truth."

She closed her eyes for a second before opening them to look into his eyes which were full of confusion and worry. "I knew this would have to happen eventually."

"The only problem is," he sighed, "I'm afraid to do it. I mean, they nearly freak out when I come in late or when my grades are low or even when I accidentally drop a plate! Those are all small things and they still manage to get really angry at me! How are they going to react when I drop something huge on them like this?" He closed his eyes and put his face into his hands.

"Shhhh, its going to be okay," she comforted, "Remember, you're not alone. You've got me and the baby behind you all the way. Besides, we have at least 5 months to figure this all out. We'll think of something."

"I don't know what's going to happen, and that scares me. I don't want to bring our baby into the world when we still can't straighten everything out! I mean, where are we going to live? What if my family kicks me out? How are we going to get the money to raise a kid?"

"Chris, calm down. Everything will work out just fine. If your family decides they don't want us in the manor, then we can move out together and find another apartment big enough for the three of us. I mean, your going to be 18 in a few days and I'm already 19. We'll have no trouble renting an apartment. And, I have money saved up from before I quit my job and you have money from your part time job and your races. We can live off that until we find jobs."

Lifting his head from his hands, he turned to his girlfriend and smiled at her, "You always know what to say to calm me down."

She smiled back as she brushed some of his brown hair out of his eyes, "What can I say, it's a gift."

Chris glanced across the room to the clock that hung on the wall.

6:30 P.M

"I have to get back now. Leo's probably back by now, and I don't want another reason for him and Piper to yell at me some more."

Bianca smiled as he gave her a kiss on her lips, "Okay, I'll see you tomorrow."

"Do you want me to bring you anything? Perhaps some chocolate covered sardines, or a fish and jelly sandwich to satisfy you pregnancy needs?" he asked with sarcastic grin on his face.

"You're so funny Chris, really, I'm cracking up," she replied in a dead-panned voice.

"Okay, okay, I'll stop making fun of your taste in food."

"Thank you. So can you bring me some grape jelly from the grocery store tomorrow? I used the last of it on my eggs this morning." She told him sweetly.

Chris cocked his eyebrows.

"What? I ate my eggs like that before I was pregnant too!"

"Whatever you say," he replied sweetly as he gave her another kiss on her lips. He then looked down at her swollen belly and smiled. "Daddy will see you tomorrow, okay? Be good to mommy and try not to giver her morning sickness again." He bent down and landed a kiss on her stomach.

"I'll see you two tomorrow."

"Okay, bye sweetie." She responded.

With that said he orbed out in a swirl of bright blue and white lights.

"Honestly Chris, this is like the 10th time you've came in this late! Where the hell do you go out to in the middle of the night?!" Leo exclaimed as he stared at his younger son with anger and frustration in his eyes.

This made Chris squirm some more on the couch as he avoided his parents' glare. He focused on a juice stain on the floor. 'I'm surprised you guys even noticed.' He thought to himself as he played with a loose thread from the couch.

After he had orbed back from Bianca's apartment, he found the manor full and his mom making dinner in the kitchen. He tried his best to avoid either his father's or mother's attention, which really wasn't that hard, and sat alone in the attic reading the Book of Shadows. After he had been sitting there for a while, Ryan came in to give him some company. Ryan told Chris about his 'awesome kick' at practice until it was time for dinner. At dinner, he sat quietly pushing food around his plate as Ryan told everyone about soccer practice and Wyatt kept whining about how much he hated training with Excalibur in 'elder-land'. No one really noticed Chris's lack of participation in the conversations since he was never one to be a chatter-box with his family. Instead, he sat silently staring at his plate, dreading what was to come after dinner.

Once everyone finished eating, Chris quickly cleared the table and began with the dishes without being asked to. He didn't really mind doing it, since he was used to being the one left with the chore. And it didn't hurt that it could perhaps ease his parents' wrath, although he seriously doubted it. 'Who am I kidding? They probably don't even realize I'm doing it.' He had thought to himself. When everything was finally put away, Chris slowly entered the living room to find both his parents, ready to start the scolding.

"Your father asked you a question Chris! Where are you sneaking off to in the middle of the night? Are you going to parties? Oh my gosh! Are you doing drugs?!" Piper almost screamed as the possibility that her son was on drugs entered her mind.

At this, Chris lifted his head and stared at his mom with his mouth agape, "No, I swear I'm not doing drugs! You have to believe me on that!" he told them with pleading eyes.

"How can we believe you if you don't tell us the truth?! I can't believe we are even talking about this! We never had a problem like this with Wyatt! And, what kind of example are you setting for Ryan?!" Leo asked while waving his arms around to express his frustration.

Chris looked away again; the feeling of guilt and sadness was once again growing in his stomach. 'Of course this has to come back to Ryan and Wyatt. Everything does.' He said to himself.

"You are grounded for two weeks! No T.V, no orbing, no dirt bike, and no going out! Do you understand me?"

He nodded his head without looking up. 'Bianca's not going to like this.'

"I thought I was blessed to have at least two sons who don't cause trouble, but instead, you cause enough for the three of you!" Leo exclaimed.

Chris's eyes saddened at his dad's words and his guts churned. He tried his best to hide the pain the words caused him as he looked up at his parents and said, "I'm sorry, it won't happen again."

He felt the guilt in his guts work over time. 'Great, I cause them enough stress for the three of us.'

Piper sighed as she saw some of the distress her son was in, "You can go to your room now."

He glanced at his dad, who still looked frustrated at him, before getting up and leaving the room.

When he was half way up the stairs, he heard his dad's voice carry from the living room, "Why do I have a strong feeling that boy is hiding something from us?"

'You have no idea how right you are dad.'
