Chapter nine: The Baby's First FightThe talk that Leo and Chris had had encouraged Chris to talk to Wyatt. But he was afraid that if he waited 'til the morning his dad's words would have been forgotten. So much for Wyatt's dislike, Chris woke him up, again.
"What the hell? Chris? You've got to be kidding…" Wyatt mumbled and put a hand on his face.
"You wanted to know what I saw in my nightmare. Or what I see every night in my nightmares", Chris defended himself.
"And you decided to tell me in the middle of the night…? God, Chris, if Mom and Dad taught you anything, it's not making your timing right…"
"Do you want to hear or not?" Chris asked.
"Fine… I'm awake anyway. Tell me."
It took about ten minutes to explain everything Chris had saw in his nightmares. After he was done, Wyatt was quiet for several minutes.
"Oh, well… I hope you realise that that is not gonna happen."
"That's the thing, Wy! It might happen!" Chris said. He was having surprisingly hard time to keep the tears from falling. He had no idea why, maybe it was because he had saw Wyatt die after he had practically saved his life. "You three might die, leaving me completely alone!"
"No, Chris! That is why we're here! To stop that from happening! Don't you remember when I said that I'm oldest! You have to trust me, I'm always right!" Wyatt said.
"No time for jokes, Wy! I won't sleep comfortably until I know that the baby is dead. D-E-A-D!"
"Hey, calm down, little brother. I was just trying to cheer you up…"
"I don't need cheering up! I need a plan!" Chris snapped. He put a hand through his hair, already regretting about being so harsh. "I just have to make sure it won't happen…" he whispered. He put his head down, not looking at Wyatt. Suddenly he felt a hand on his shoulder. He looked up and saw Wyatt smiling at him in a way that told him that he understood.
"Can we sleep through the night first?" Wyatt asked, half joking, half serious. Chris smiled a little, knowing that they needed to rest.
"Yeah… I think that's for the be…" Chris didn't have time to finish his sentence. He felt as a giant hand had got a hold of his shirt and suddenly he was sent through the air. He collided with the wall and came crushing down. He let out a cry of pain and fought to keep him self conscious.
"Chris!" Wyatt yelled and got up from the couch. Just as he was about to kneel down to check if Chris was okay he saw Paige standing on the top of the stairs. Her eyes were black… "Oh God…" Wyatt whispered when it hit him: The baby…
"You won't kill me. I'll kill you!" Paige's voice wasn't her own. It was like someone has possessed her body. But Wyatt knew it was something else, something way worse.
"What the hell…?" came Piper's voice from upstairs. A wave of panic rushed through Wyatt's body.
"No! Mom, stay there!" he yelled, hoping that Piper would obey. After all, Piper was not very famous of doing so.
"I'm not after her, Wyatt. I'm after you. And your brother, of course. Even more after him since he has the connection with your little Guardian Angel. He's a little bit tough one to kill since he's already dead but… that makes your, oh so precious baby brother my number one target. Don't get offended, you are a very close number two…"
Wyatt didn't have to hear more. He didn't want to hurt Paige, but he had no choice. He waved his hand and Paige fell down the stairs. Only to get back up again.
"You know, I really though you were smarter than that. Being Twice-Blessed and everything. But I see now that Chris here is the brains. And he, as I see, is knocked out."
Wyatt turned around and saw that the demon was right, Chris was unconscious. "I'm gonna kill you…" he hissed, turning his attention back to the demon/Paige.
"How? You can't kill my mother, obviously, and you can't get rid of me. See, I'm only like, what, a little bit under four months old and I'm already smarter and stronger than you. Which makes this a bit boring…"
A fireball appeared into Paige's hand. "Bye, bye, cousin Wyatt. Don't worry, your brother will join you VERY soon."
The baby (since Wyatt refused to think that it was Paige) through the fireball, but Wyatt already had his shield up. He smiled a little. "You might be strong. But haven't even been born. So you should stop trying to kill me… or Chris, now, cuz you will just get exhausted. And well, if Paige's body gets exhausted, that might end up, oh I don't know, miscarriage. And you don't want that, right."
The baby didn't listen, it just sent a fireball after fireball and a little bit sweat appeared to Paige's forehead. Wyatt just stood there, with a little smile on his face, not even blinking. "Give it up. You can't get through it", he said finally, fearing that Paige would collapse. This was too much for her body to handle.
The baby stopped. It looked at Wyatt and suddenly Paige's eyes returned to normal. She breathed heavily for a while and then she fell on her knees. "What in the fing hell happened?" she asked, clearly shocked, tired, angry, no furious, and scared at the same time.
"The baby." Wyatt simply said and turned to Chris. He kneeled down and gently shook him. "Hey, Chris? Wanna wake up for me?" he asked, as he searched his body for any wounds or broken bones. He heard Chris moaning but he didn't open his eyes.
"Chris, does anything hurt?" Wyatt asked.
"My head… does not feel quite right… AAH!" Chris screamed when he tried to move.
"Stay still I'll heal you. Just calm down!" Wyatt ordered when Chris's now open eyes flashed with a slight of panic.
"Okay…" Chris breathed, too afraid to nod.
"What in the world is going on here?" Piper asked when she and Leo came down with Phoebe, who was half asleep. Wyatt didn't answer, concentrating on healing Chris. Leo quickly joined him, seeing that it seemed to take a long while.
"It hurts… it hurts… Please, make it stop…. It hurts…" Chris gasped, making Wyatt's stomach go up side down.
"Shush, Chris. Just hold on, we'll make it stop…" Leo said. What was taking so damn long? What had happened?
"It hurts, it hurts…" Chris kept whispering. It was like Wyatt's and Leo's healing had no affect whatsoever. Suddenly Chris screamed in clear agony and the he passed out. A line of blood came out of his nose.
"Chris? Chris! Wake up, Chris, I know it's night, but I'm not gonna let you sleep since you woke me up, so WAKE UP!" Wyatt yelled but didn't get any kind of response. The rise and fall of Chris's chest told everyone that he was alive but it didn't tell how far was he… He could be just knocked out… or dying.
Wyatt turned his gaze at Paige. "You see now why we have to kill the baby? If it can do something like this now, imagine what it can do when it's born!" he said. For a second Paige's eyes turned black again, but they went back to normal just as fast.
"Whoa! What the hell was that? And why isn't he waking up?" Piper asked, her voice edged with panic. Leo shook his head , looking from Chris's still form to Wyatt who was still trying to wake him up, to Paige who had now started crying.
"Come on, let's get him on the couch…" Leo said. He and Wyatt lifted Chris up from the floor and carried him to the livingroom. Chris didn't even flinch.
"Would someone just tell me, what the hell happened!" Piper said. Her voice had taken panicked motherly tone and it was never a good sign.
"We just… talked", Wyatt said. "And suddenly Chris was thrown against the wall. And then I saw Paige on the top of the stairs… her eyes were black… I think the baby took over her. It's powerful, but not powerful enough to get through my shield. Yet, anyway…" Wyatt let the others guess the rest. Paige was actually still in the hall, sitting on the floor, crying silently. Phoebe went over to her and hugged her.
"It's all my fault… It's all my fault… Chris doesn't wake up, the baby did something to him and it's all my fault!"
"No, sweetie, it's not. It's the baby's fault. I know it's hard to accept but it's evil. It made you do this to your nephew", Phoebe said, trying to talk with the most calming voice that she could. Paige looked at Chris and had a flashback of the Chris, who was lying on Piper's bed, bleeding, dying… in Leo's arms. It couldn't happen again!
Please, don't let it happen again… Paige thought before she broke down completely.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
What the hell? Chris thought. Everything was quiet and still, there were not even birds… or anything. And this was san Francisco for God's sake! There was suppose to be noise, people, BIRDS!
"Yeah, it's a boring place, isn't it?" someone said. Chris turned around to face himself.
"What are you doing here? Am I dreaming again?" Chris asked.
"No."
"What… wait, I'm not dead, right?"
"No. You're in coma", Chris said.
"In coma! How did I end up in coma!" Chris asked, a little panicked.
"What is the last thing that you remember?" Chris thought for a sec.
"Wyatt and Dad were trying to heal me… Pain… so horrible pain… in my head. And then everything went white. And after that blackness came.
Chris nodded. "That baby did something to you. But, well. This gives us a chance to plan how to kill it. Obviously it's not gonna be possibly in there but maybe I here. It doesn't guess that someone would try to hurt it from the inside. Yeah, we just have to contact the right people and we should be able to end this."
"Hey, hey, hey, hold on a second there, ME! Are you telling me that I have to be in coma. Do you realise that I have a brother in the wake world who is probably freaking out! And let's not forget my parents!"
"I'm not keeping you here, but do you see yourself waking up, huh? That baby messed your head up and even if I'm sure that Dad and Wyatt fixed it that doesn't change the fact that you're in DEEP coma. We have to kill this baby. I'm pretty sure that you're gonna wake up when it's done." Chris said.
"Pretty sure?" Chris said in a higher voice than usual.
"Okay, fine. I'm sure. Happy?"
Chris nodded. He sighed. "This sucks, you know that right?" Chris smiled.
"I'm you", he said simply. "So. Let's start planning, me – junior so we can get you the hell out of here."
"And safe my family", Chris mumbled so quietly that he was sure Chris didn't hear.
Yeah, that too… Chris though, hearing Chris's word as if he had said them out loud in front of him.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
AN: Am I evil or what? Geez… This was not suppose to happen, it just popped into my head. Oh, well. At least I get to write about Chris a little more. Yei!
Okay, so review and even if you don't, check the next chapter when it comes. Okay, I have to stop now, dinner time. (Double yei)
Lots of Love!
