Chapter ten: It's all over
"Chris?" Chris heard his brother's tear filled voice but he had no strength to say anything. He took breath after breath, slowly but surely. He felt his heart beat getting stronger by every beat. He was alive… He had done it.
"Wy…?"
"Yeah, little brother… I'm here, I'm right here…" Wyatt's voice broke with relief and amazement. Chris opened his eyes. He blinked few times, trying to get use to the light and then he looked around. Wyatt and Leo were looking at him. Both of their faces had now took extremely happy impression.
"Daddy?" Leo just smiled, not being able to say anything. Before Chris could do or say anything, Wyatt pulled him into the biggest embrace he had ever got.
"Don't you ever do that again…" he whispered.
"Wasn't planning to", Chris said. He noticed that the wound on his chest was now gone. His strength was coming back and he put his arms around Wyatt, knowing that Wyatt wouldn't let go for a while. Leo seemed to know that, too since he quietly said: I'll be back and left the boys alone. He knew, as much as he wanted to grab Chris into a hug himself, that they needed they privacy.
Wyatt just held Chris for five minutes. Then, finally, he started to talk. "What in the world happened?" he asked. He pulled away from Chris so he could check him out. Chris shrugged.
"I killed the baby… but he hit me, too. So I died… and then the other Chris said that he can't let me die again, specially not…" Chris stopped for a second and decided not to tell everything that he was told. "… in here", he ended his sentence. "So he brought me back. I have no idea how. But well, who cares, really?"
Wyatt nodded. "I know I don't" he said, smiling a little. Chris was still able to see the tear lines on Wyatt's cheeks.
"You really thought you lost me…" he said.
"No, of course not! You just died, I knew all the time that the other you was gonna bring you back", Wyatt said sarcastically. "Of course I thought I lost you! You died!"
Chris looked down. He felt bad for not fighting so Wyatt and Leo could heal him. He had died… Wyatt had lost him, Wyatt had CRIED! "I'm sorry…" he whispered, again.
"No, Chris, no! Don't say that. You killed the baby! You're a hero. Now we can go home and back to your homework."
Chris smiled. And then, just because he needed it so much, he lead forward to Wyatt's arms. Wyatt didn't say anything, neither of them did. They were just happy.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
They left that same afternoon. After very teary goodbyes. Just before they left, Wyatt blew memory dust on them. It had been Chris's idea. Mostly because he didn't want his Dad to remember he had lost him again but also because he didn't want Paige to remember the baby. It was a long time they erased, but well, Wyatt is one powerful witch. He was careful with the dust.
Just the other Chris had said, they orbed to Chris's room. "Do you think we have really been gone for four months? Or did we come back to right were we left?" Chris asked.
"No, I don't think it works that way. Well, we're about to see… Mom, Dad!" Leo and Piper were in Chris's room in a blink.
"Oh, thank Heavens…" Piper gasped and took both of her boys into a hug. Then, suddenly, she smacked them.
"Ow! What was that for?" Wyatt asked. Both of the boys were taller than Piper but she still had a power to make them both shut up.
"Four months! Four freaking months! What the hell were you thinking!"
"I guess we've been gone for quite long…" Wyatt said to Chris.
"Quite long! Do you have any idea how many times you your schools has called. Or how worried we've been? You have a lot of explaining to do!"
"Uh, Piper… They didn't leave willingly…" Leo suddenly said. Piper looked from him to her boys and then sighed.
"Who's side are you taking?" she asked.
"No one's. As always", Leo said with a shrug. Then he smiled. "It's great that you're back", he said and came closer. Wyatt and Chris smiled, too, the events from few hours ago still little bit too strongly in their minds.
"Well, I'm gonna make one hell of a dinner", Piper said. "And this time you two better come when I call", she warned.
"Yes, ma'am!" Wyatt and Chris said together.
"I guess I have to call to school", Wyatt said when Piper had left. "I have a lot of catching up to do."
After Wyatt had left, Chris and Leo were left alone. The was a short silence. "I uh… I'm gonna see if your Mom needs help. Are you okay?" Leo asked when he saw the impression on Chris's face.
"What? Oh, yeah, I'm fine", Chris said. But just as Leo was about to leave: "Hey, Dad. Can I talk to you?"
Leo stopped in the doorway. "Okay, sure. What is it?" he asked.
"I… I died… back in the past. The other Chris, that came back and died, saved me… He said he couldn't let me die in your arms again…"
Leo's face turned a bit paler. "Oh…" he said. "Did he tell you anything else?" Chris shook his head, no.
"Well, he said that you weren't very close at first but you became quite close. Before he died. But he didn't tell me like… why did he come back or anything. I know that you and Mom know. And the aunts, too. Any chance you're ever gonna tell us that?"
"Chris, that is something that is gonna affect your brother even more than you. Specially now that you already know what happened to… you. But me and Piper are just afraid that Wyatt won't be able handle it." Chris's eyes flashed with fear.
"What happened to him? Please, Dad, you have to tell me!"
Leo shook his head. "We'll tell you both. But not yet, not today. It's just something we have to tell you when you're both here, and not suffering from whatever happened on your own trip." Chris looked like he wanted to know now, but he nodded.
"Dad, am I gonna die as young as the other me?"
"No", Leo said right away. "No way I'm gonna let that happen."
Chris smiled. Leo put one arm around his shoulders. "What do you say we go and call to your school. You can't become a doctor without explanation about your four months long break."
And so they were back to normal. Or almost, at least.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
"Are we ever gonna tell them what happened?" Wyatt asked.
"Nah, not yet anyway", Chris answered. They were sitting on the top of the Golden Gate. "I told Dad I died, though."
"Yeah?"
"Yeah."
A silence. What they had gone through was something that words couldn't describe. And they didn't have to talk about it, everything had been said already. But if they had been close before they had left, they were even closer now.
"Wyatt, Chris! I swear, if you don't come to dinner like… NOW I'm gonna ground you both for the next twenty years!"
THE END
