Wyatt was in the waiting room for at least three hours, before the doctor assigned to Chris finally came out. Chris was asleep in a room, on medication to help him deal with the pain. He had a sprained wrist, a broken ribs, and two cracked ribs. Wyatt walked over to Chris, and sighed. He had blocked the bond between their family, their father especially, so that they couldn't be found.
Seeing the shape that his brother was in, he almost called his father. He held his tongue, knowing it would hurt Chris more if he did. Instead he went over to Chris, took his hand, and squeezed. Releasing it, he reached into his pocket, pulling out a piece of black charcoal, and went over to one of the white walls that surrounded them.
He raised his hand, and drew a triquetra on the wall. He said the new spell that he had formed from an old one, to take them back to the future.
"Hear these words,
Hear my cries,
Spirits on the other side,
I call on the Haliwell line.
Take us back,
Widening the crack in space and time."
He then backed up, and threw a potion at the wall. The wall glowed blue, and he walked over to Chris. Picking him up, after taking out the IV's in his hand, he set a note down that he had been writing while he was waiting in the waiting room. He let down his shields, and waited long enough to see the blue orbs forming his family arrive.
He carried Chris to the glowing wall, and with one last look back, and a deep breath, he stepped through the portal. As he came out the other side, he gasped at how much had changed. He had memories from both his old life, and his new one, and on the other hand, he wasn't that surprised. In one set of memories, the world had always looked like this, but in the other set, it had been years since it had looked like this.
He orbed to the manor, and set Chris down in his room. He carefully laid him down on the bed, and covered him down with a worn quilt that their mother had made, with a comfort spell laced in it, she had made it for him the day before his fourteenth birthday. Making sure that Chris was settled, and comfortable, he walked out of the room, and orbed down into the kitchen after shutting the door.
His mother was in the kitchen, along with his aunts, but his father was no where around. He wondered why that was, and then a blast of memory hit him.
Flashback
"Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday dear Chris... Happy Birthday to you!" Everyone sang, and clapped as a now fourteen year old Chris blew out his candles.
"So Chris, how does it feel to be fourteen?" A happy Leo asked his son.
"It-" Chris was about to answer, as a darklighter arrow flew through his shoulder, and into Leo's chest. Leo fell to the floor, dead before he hit. Chris just looked at him shocked, and crumpled to the floor as he felt the poison coursing through him. Tears sprang to his eyes as he tried to move to help his dad, but Wyatt held him firmly through his weak struggles.
Paige had called for her father, who had orbed in immediately, and once he saw the scene he dropped to his knees, and healed Chris who was unconscious. He looked from Leo to Piper, who shook her head, and a tear ran down his cheek.
End Flashback...
Sam, Paige's dad had saved Chris that day, but they had lost Leo. No matter what timeline they were in, Chris always lost someone he loved on his birthday.
His family smiled at him, and he said; "Aunt Paige, can you call your dad?" When she nodded, but gave him a questioning glance, he said; "Chris is back, and he was hurt in the past." She looked at him worried, and called for her father.
They all went upstairs, and into Chris' room, where Phoebe asked the question on the power of threes' minds. "How do you know it's really him?"
Wyatt sighed and walked over to Chris. "Because I went back to the past, and because of this." He lifted Chris' arm, and moved the band that was on his wrist. As he moved it there on a patch of un-tanned skin was a triquetra. They all nodded, and Sam healed Chris. He gave Paige a hug, and a kiss on her forehead, and then orbed away.
"Well I have some cooking to do. He has lost weight, and that cannot be tolerated." Piper said, and walked out of the room.
Wyatt smiled as his aunts started fussing over Chris, everything was back to normal...
or was it?
