Chapter 2

"Dad, why are you looking at me like that?" Chris walked over to Leo.

"Chris, but you're dead. You died over a year ago." Leo sat up straight.

"Yeah, but I'm back. I don't know how but I'm back. I thought that you would be happy for me?" Chris held out a hand to pull Leo up. Leo tried to take it, but his hand fell straight through. "What? What just happened here? Why did that happen?"

"I think you're a ghost." Leo got up and stood in front of him.

"No, I can't be. I still have my telekinesis. Watch." He waved him hand and a picture moved along the fireplace.

"Chris, you are dead. You died in my arms. You faded away in front of Paige and me. Don't you remember?"

"Yeah, but I'm back. How else could be standing here?" Chris looked into his father's eyes.

Suddenly, something in Leo's brain suddenly clicked. This was a dream. His dreams were getting more real. So why couldn't this be a dream. "Wait, this is just a whole dream. I've fallen asleep on the sofa and you're just in my imagination."

"Dad, this is not a dream. Trust me on that. But if I am a ghost, how do I still have my telekinesis then?" He went to sit on the chair but he fell straight through and only his legs and head were showing. "Agh. Stupid Chair." He got up and tried to throw a magazine and managed to do it. He looked surprised. "How did I do that?"

"Well, you're a ghost, and when ghosts get angry, they can move things." Leo explained. He may be mortal now, but he sure as hell kept all his demonic and supernatural knowledge.

"So that means that I am definitely a ghost then?" Chris asked his father.

Leo nodded. "This means that the girls will be able to see you as well." He smiled properly for the first time since Chris faded away. "Piper is going to love it. I should get them now, but we can tell them in the morning. I'll let them sleep. What are you going to do though? You can't even sit on a chair."

"I'll find something; I can read a magazine, catch up on what I've missed. Don't worry; I'll be okay for a few hours really, dad." Leo felt a warm feeling inside him. After his fears in his dreams, he realised that he wasn't to blame. And his son did love him.

"I'll be in my room; I need to get some sleep tonight. Just stay out of the way until I can tell them." Chris smiled.

"Don't worry, if they come down, I can just do this." He disappeared from Leo's sight and reappeared behind Leo. "I am a ghost remember? Good night Dad." Leo smiled again.

"Good night Chris." He walked up the stairs again and expected Piper to still be awake but she was lying back down, Chris was back in his cot and they both looked so peaceful. He went over to Chris and picked him up. "I'm going to show you something that will make it up to you over the past year." He walked downstairs and stopped on the stairs. He watched Chris sitting on the floor, flipping through a magazine using his telekinesis. Leo looked at the Chris in his arms. He was watching him as well. Soon Chris closed the magazine and put it back to where he got from. And he lay on the floor. He looked like he was trying to get to sleep. Leo decided to leave him and walked back up the stairs.

Unknown to him, Chris had been watching him all the time and as he waked up, Chris smiled. "Good night mini me." He whispered. He closed his eyes and tried to see if ghosts could sleep.

Leo walked straight past his room and walked up to the attic. He sat on the dusty sofa up there and started to play with his youngest son. He couldn't believe how much the two looked like. He knew they were one of the same, but usually you didn't see any similarities between child and adult until they were a little older. He checked the clock. 5:53 am. He had been playing with Chris for 20 minutes. He walked back into the bedroom and put Chris in his cot. He looked over towards Piper and smiled. How could he have ever doubted her? He climbed into bed and closed his eyes. Hopefully, the next dream he had would not be about how much Chris hated him, but how much he loved him.

Piper looked over her shoulder at her husband. She looked over to Chris and smiled herself. Finally, he was getting to know him the way Piper had wanted.

Chris opened his eyes again. Okay, that proves it. Ghosts definitely can not sleep. He thought as he got up and walked around to the conservatory, the dining room, the kitchen. They all brought back memories for him, from the future and before he died. He wondered if Phoebe and Paige had boyfriends, even husbands yet. He wondered if Phoebe had met her future husband Leslie yet. He thought about the times when his aunts told him the first time they met with there other halves. Leslie was a ghost writer for Phoebe when she needed a sabbatical and Paige met Kyle when he was investigating them as a federal agent. He looked at the clock, it said 7:03. The girls would be getting up soon, he had better get somewhere they wouldn't see him, not until Leo had told them, then he could come, he could see his mum again and they could try and fix the whole 'I'm a ghost' thing.
