Okay just to clear a few things up yes this does take place in the changed future and in this chapter you'll learn that Leo cannot sense Piper or Chris because she blocked them off from him but there someone who can. Who is that person? Continue reading to find out.

One Year Later

Chapter 1

He walked through the dark and deserted cemetery with two small bouquets of roses in one hand while leading his three year old son with the other as tears stung his eyes and memories flooded his vision. Even though it had been one year since his wife and youngest child had vanished from his life the pain never lessened. It never ended and just when he thought that he would be able to go on with his life and start a new with his oldest child he would run across a toy of Chris's or an item belonging to the love of his life and his world would shatter all over again and the pain would return bringing with it the realization that he would never see or hold either one of them again and it hurt like hell.

Although he and his sister's in law never found the demon, nor one brave enough to admit to killing the mother and child that didn't mean that they hadn't turned the underworld upside down looking for them. They had spent the past year killing every demon they could and would use hair from one of Piper's brushed to make up for her part in a power of three potion that was necessary to kill the upper level demon and even with all the killings and all the threat none of them were ever satisfied. None of them were ever whole again.

Phoebe had buried herself in work every since the day Piper and Chris vanished and spent most of her free time crying or when she wasn't doing that she would just sit in the conservatory staring out the window wringing her hands together and talking to herself like a crazy person, occasionally looking up hoping to catch a glimpse of her equally devastated baby sister.

Paige had become a vicious killer since the death of her sister and nephew, vanquishing demons left and right while taking great pleasure in doing so. In fact she spent every second of the day seeking out demons to kill and torture for any information that would give her piece of mind or some form of closure and allow her to feel again. Every now and then Leo would pass by the woman's room and hear her plotting with other demons to take out their leader's and find any information they could about them and if they were successful and gave her anything worth while she would reward them with betrayal and burn their bodies to a crisp with her new demonic powers.

Yes Halliwell manor had turned into a place of pure insanity, pain and evil in the last year and without the eldest sister to maintain control and hold everyone together their whole world had gone to hell.

Leo swallowed hard and tried not to breakdown the second he stepped into the mausoleum but he couldn't help it. Without her he was lost and if it weren't for Wyatt he would have allowed himself to die with her, with his son.

Chris.

His little boy who meant the world to him and who had died in his arms not too long before the infant version of himself was ripped from his life as well was now gone from him in every since of the word. He would never see him grow up. He would never have the chance to prove to him that he could be a good father and make up for all of the heartache that his future self had caused the boy. He'll never look into those green eyes and hear the words he's always wanted to hear since the day he became aware of the boy's existence.

"I love you Daddy" he could hear the small voice of what his sound would sound like and it killed him.

The words were simple enough but they held so much more and would have meant the world to him. If only he could hear his baby boy say it one time and he would have had it not been for some lousy demon. Some pathetic coward who chose to kill a mother and her child probably from behind because if it had been face to face Piper Halliwell would have definitely came out on top.

He wanted fall to the ground in despair and release all of the pain he had been feeling for so long as he came to a stop in front of the markers with his wife's and son's names. Names that he never thought he would see on tombstones hoping like any other husband and father that he would be the first to go and never have to deal with the pain of burying a child or spouse or living a life without that person. But there he was. Kneeling before the marbled stone with the dark plaque held firmly to it crying on his knees like a child.

He felt horrible for breaking down like this in front of his son but what choice did he have. He would have come alone had it not been for crumbling sanity of his wife's sisters. Usually they would watch his son but with the current state of their lives and psyches Leo couldn't risk them putting the life of the only person he had left in danger.

Suddenly bright white lights that he knew would appear did and his older child set out for parts unknown. He always seemed to do this when he was visiting the graves of his mother and brother. In the end Leo guessed that his was his little boy's way of dealing. Knowing exactly where the boy had gone Leo turned his attention back to the plaques as he pulled himself together and do what he always does whenever he came to visit them.

"Today was a pretty good day. I just wish you both were here to see Wyatt. He did the funniest thing…"

He always came here when his Daddy started acting weird. He never understood why the man cried so much and talked to the wall and said his brother's name. It's not like Chris was in there. He was out there somewhere. Even though he didn't know where somewhere was he knew that his Mommy and his baby brother weren't dead. They were alive but she just didn't know how to orb that far yet but when he did he would go find them and bring them home.

"Hey little guy are you here all by yourself again?" Wyatt heard a familiar voice call out to him. He looked up and saw his aunt Sheila.

"Auntie!" he smiled happily and clapped his hands.

"Hey baby. Is your Daddy visiting your little brother and your Mommy?" the woman asked knowing the answer she was going to see.

"No he's at the cemetery" the boy responded. He always hated when she would asked him that question. How many times did he have to tell everyone that they weren't there?

"Baby that's where your Mommy and your little brother live now" Sheila said while picking the boy up and placing him on her lap.

"No they don't!" the boy yelled out in frustration as he crossed his folded his arms across his chest.

"Ok honey" the woman said not wanting to push the subject and decided that it was best for the boy to understand that his Mommy and brother weren't coming back again in his own time and in his own way. "Alright then, hey what do you say we have some cookies?"

"Cookies!" she heard the voice of her two year old daughter Autumn call out as she came running into the kitchen.

"Autumn!" Wyatt smiled as he pushed himself off of his auntie's lap and ran over to his very best friend. He didn't care about anything else any more nor did he care what his aunt Sheila or his Daddy said because one day soon he was going to put an end to this nonsense (as his Mommy would say) and find his little brother and his Mommy and bring them home and no one would be said ever again.
