Chapter 2

Only the faint sound of the ticking clock could be heard as the boy slowly started to regain consciousness. A task of which would have been much easier were it not for the constant pounding and painful daggers shooting through his head causing him great discomfort and adding to his stress. He didn't need this shit. He didn't need any more pain in his life cause God knows he had endured enough already. Taking these facts into consideration brought forth the painful images of the night before. Seeing his father, mother and brother happily setting out for one of their many family bonding dates served as a harsh reminder that he wasn't wanted or loved and that there was no place for him in the Halliwell family. And what he saw or wouldn't see next would only prove that his accusations were in deed correct.

There on his mother's desk was the only confirmation he needed. Amongst the many pictures that lined the woman's work station were the smiling faces of his family members but they seemed to have one very common theme and that would be, the absence of his image. He wasn't anywhere to be found in most of the pictures and in the one that held actual evidence of his existence, his face was conveniently hidden from the camera.

A small part of him always wanted to believe…needed to believe that at some point in the early stages of his life he was loved and cared for. But now the harsh truth of their negligence was staring him in the face making difficult to ignore and brush under the rug like he did on so many other occasions.

Chris knew that he couldn't let his momentary lapse of loyalty get to him, he had to remain calm and in control. Last night was a mistake. He allowed his emotions to get the best of him causing him to lash out as if he were an attention starved child. But wasn't he just that? Wasn't this all some sort of elaborate scheme to get the attention of his parents and aunts? Did he really want to cause them pain or was he really hoping to hear comforting words from them to put his worries and fears to rest?

At that moment he had to wonder just what the hell happened to his icon clad will that drove him to such extremes to begin with. Why all of sudden had he become weak and doubted his own judgment and motives? No, they had to pay, he was sure of it. They owed him some sort of compensate for their many sins against him and he was the only one who could correct their mistakes and there was nothing or no one that would stop him from having his retribution.

Shaking off the feelings of doubt that invaded his being the young witch slowing lifted him self into a sitting position. Planting his feet firmly on the ground the boy could hear a crunching sound and could feel the foreign substance under his feet that was obviously not the tiled floor. Looking down he was confronted with evidence of his tantrum from the pervious night and was reminded of the mess he had made. A smile formed on his face as telekinetically turned the dim light on and took in the sight of the broken picture frames and images they once held scattered over the floor.

For a split second he thought about cleaning up the mess but decided against it maliciously leaving the disarray behind for his mother to see knowing that it would disturb the woman greatly and her mind would race with a million horrid reasons for the vandalism. He then attempted to stand up several times before he was able to get it right. The witch then tried to sense the location of his family making sure it was safe to head to the manor to freshen up for what was sure to be one hell of a day.

Sensing his mother at the store, his father at magic school, his Aunt Phoebe at the paper and Aunt Paige at her office, Chris orbed straight to Halliwell Manor.

As he reformed in the foyer of his family's home the boy was shocked by what he saw. The place wouldn't change one bit over the next sixteen years. He continued to walk from room to room each one holding different memories for him. Some being good others, not so much so and most were just down right horrible. The more he thought about it the unhappier he became causing the stabbing pain to return to him once again.

The stream of sunlight beaming through the open windows only added to his discomfort not to mention the hunger pains in his stomach with these things commanding his immediate attention Chris made his way into the kitchen where everything he needed to end his physical pain was being held. He instantly headed for where he knew his mother kept the aspirin and wasn't the least bit surprised when he found it there.

"Some things never change" he spoke before taking two tablets out of the bottle and placing it back into the cabinet.

He then headed over to the refrigerator, opening the door and searching for any signs of leftover food from the night before. He then spotted a see through container filled with spaghetti and his Mom's special sauce. He smiled slightly in spite of himself happy that his mother had fixed one of his favorite foods he just wished that she had…he started to think as he closed the refrigerator door and laid eyes on what he was about to wish for. There in a glass case was his favorite dessert, Carrot cake with cream cheese frosting. Part of him wanted to believe that she had felt his presences and wanted to do something to cheer him up. But he knew how ridiculous and child like that seemed after all he was only a one year old child right now and his mother didn't know anything about his future self.

Chris warmed up the pasta and cut a large piece of cake and headed over to the kitchen table. He then turned on the TV for background noise because none of his favorite shows had even been created yet but he had to admit he did find a few of these old shows quite amusing. Once he was finished he put the dishes in the sink and proceeded up the stairs to take to freshen up.

In the bathroom he disrobed and started the shower. The sound of the water pouring down from the showerhead always seemed to have a claming effect on the boy even when he was in the worse of moods. Stepping in and closing the glass door behind him he flinch a little as the drops of water rushed heavily against his body but the shock wore off and comfort set in as he ducked his head under the water and allowed it flow down his body from head to toe as he decided to enjoy the moment and worry about all of his problems once he was done.

"Damn it" the man spoke as he appeared in the bedroom he shared with his wife. He didn't understand how he could have been so thoughtless as to have left such important documents at home. Then it came to him. He had awoken late and had to get both of his sons ready while Piper took care of some shopping. He didn't know how the woman was able to handle both child with such ease on a day to day bases but he hoped that he wouldn't have to worry about handling both of his magically mischievous children at the same time ever again.

Spotting the folder on the dresser the man quickly grabbed it and was about to summon the door to magic school again but something stopped him. Was that the shower running, he thought? No, Piper couldn't possibly be back yet and both Phoebe and Paige were at work so there was no logical explanation for this. Maybe Paige left it on thinking that he or Piper needed to use it, either way he needed to turn it off or he would have one very unhappy wife once the water bill came in.

Leo then made his way out of the bedroom and towards the hallway bathroom. Coming to a stop in front of the door he put his hand on the knob and began to open the door.

IcantthinkofaFnick-Yes and No but Piper and Leo's emotions and who they see the situation will be explained a little in the next chapter. For now I hope that you enjoyed this new chapter either way let me know what you thought.

P.S Chris didnt' do anything to Wyatt he just left him with a lot of questions when he traveled to the future.

Night-Owl123-Yeah when I was thinking about the direction I wanted to take this story in I thought it would be cute to have baby Wyatt be the first one to see Chris but the other have quite a ways to go before they get to see him.
