Piper walked up the stairs to her sons' bedroom Chris hadn't come down for tea and his brothers had said he was sick so naturally Piper came up to check on him. Knocking softly on the door she called softly, "Honey?"
"C'mon in Mum. Just close the door behind you okay?"
Piper walked in and closed the door behind her, she saw her baby boy lying curled up under his covers. She walked to the bed and sat on the edge, "Peanut, are you okay?"
He shook his head "Don't know what's going on, but my eye's are just really light sensitive for some reason, it's really weird 'coz it happened after that thing before."
"Hun, I need the full picture here. Not just snippets."
He smiled sheepishly, an expression Piper always found adorable, "Sorry, I'll start from the start shall I?"
"That'd be good Chris…" She laughed.
"Alright, here comes the honesty thing. Hope you're ready."
"Rambling!"
"Sorry. Look I've been being bullied for the past year or so, usually it's nothing serious but it's gotten worse lately and today I got hurt pretty nastily in the torso. I had a bath when I came home and fell asleep in it. Woke up and came back in here, next thing I know Danny and Wyatt are jumping on me. Wyatt pulled the doona down and they saw the bruises and I got this whole interrogation from Wyatt and ended up telling him who it was, I have this really bad feeling that he's gonna do something stupid. Anyway, after I got changed and Danny came back in they did something odd."
He pulled himself up and looked at his mother, he put a hand over her stomach and looked into her eyes, "They did that and then it didn't hurt anymore." He lifted up his shirt to reveal his chest, "No bruises, they healed me… Thing is, it didn't feel weird or anything but then this thing with my eyes happened."
She nodded, "Okay Peanut, lie back down and I'll get your dad to come in and take a look at you."
He grinned, "He's home?"
"Yeah, I'll send him up."
"Thanks mum, I love you so much." They hugged tightly and Piper walked out.
Downstairs Piper stared at her children, "You healed him?"
"We had to mum!" Wyatt said defensively, "He was hurt bad!" Danny added.
Piper called out for her husband, "Leo. Leo! Get your butt here, it's about Chris!"
Milliseconds later Leo orbed in, "Hi boys," he looked at his wife, "Is he okay."
Piper shrugged, "He's not good. He's running a fever and has a light sensitive headache."
"It just sounds like a cold."
"It happened after he was healed."
"What?" Leo asked incredulously, "Who? Why?"
"Us." Danny said quietly, "He was hurt real bad."
"I thought we were clear, no magic! Not in front of him. Ever."
"Leo, what's done is done. They did it because they were worried. Now, is it possible that he's having a reaction to it?"
"To healing? Piper I don't think it's possible."
"Well, go up and see your son. You should have seen his face when I told him you were home. His face lit up like a Christmas tree. He really misses you."
"I know." Leo Wyatt smiled sadly, " I miss him too. It's just with Wy and Danny's powers growing these last few months…"
" I know Leo, go talk to him."
The elder walked upstairs to see his dark haired son. Opening the door he called his son's name, he watched as the teenager pulled himself into a sitting position and tapped the touch lamp once pouring a soft light over the room. He saw the huge grin on Chris' face as he climbed out of bed and ran engulfing his father in a bear hug.
"I missed you dad." Chris cried into his father's chest, "Missed you heaps and heaps."
Leo pulled him tighter, "I'm here now Chris. I'm not going anywhere."
