A/N- okay, originally this fic was only meant to be a one-chapter story but, seeing as I got so many positive reviews and many of you asking me to continue, I decided to add to it.

This one is more Wyatt than Chris and contains a lot of recap, but I hope you guys like it. I love you all!

Just to let you know, there is a gap between the first and second chapter. The Elders have gone back to 'Elderland' (as titled by the members of Screen-Scene) and Paige and little Patricia have orbed away.

Chapter 2

"Here you go, peanut." Piper handed a mug of herbal tea to Chris, who was now seated in the sunroom with a blanket placed over his shoulders.

Shivering slightly from his ordeal, he accepted the tea and inhaled the spicy scent. He had forgotten how much he missed his mother's special brews. He had lived without them for nearly eight years.

Wyatt, having sent his girlfriend home, sat next to his little brother and watched him with concern.

Chris couldn't believe that this really was his older brother. He wasn't anything like the Wyatt he knew when he left to travel to 2003. He wasn't watching Chris with disdain, but regarding him with the love that siblings should have for each other; he was smiling instead of scowling; and even his appearance had changed- from long hair and black clothes to neatly trimmed blond hair and casual clothes from the Gap.

Even the Manor had changed. When he had left to go to the past, the Halliwell Manor had been a museum, a shallow tribute to the power that his family had held, and the atmosphere had been dark and painful. But his plans to change the future had worked, and he now saw a Manor similar to the one he had seen in 2004: light, loving and fun.

It worked. It really worked. Chris thought with elation. Not only did he stop Wyatt from becoming the evil monster that he had seen growing up, but he had changed it so much that the Charmed Ones were still alive. He saw Piper's hand in Leo's and realised that they must have sorted out their differences and got back together after he was born. He wondered about what else he had changed… like Bianca. Was she still alive? Were they still engaged?

"How are you feeling, buddy?" Leo asked, regarding him with a concerned expression that mirrored Piper's and resembled Wyatt's.

"I don't know. I feel weird." Chris replied, his throat a little dry. He blew on his tea and took a sip, "Dizzy."

Piper let go of Leo's hand and sat on the coffee table opposite her sons. She looked at Chris specifically,

"I'm not surprised- you went through quite an ordeal."

"What happened?" Wyatt asked. His voice had finally reached its normal key and had stopped shaking, as if he'd finally got over the shock. Although being the most powerful witch since the Charmed Ones themselves, he was a lot like his mother and aunts- his greatest fear was also the loss of a sibling.

"I'm not sure." Chris lied. He didn't want to explain to Wyatt what he had done. That he had been killed trying to save Wyatt's past self. If this Wyatt was anything like Leo, then he would then be wrecked with guilt.

"Well, what was the last thing you remember?"

"I…" Chris looked up at Leo, who stared back, but didn't say anything with his eyes except 'I'm so glad you're okay'. He looked back at Wyatt,

"I can't remember… It all feels a little hazy, you know?"

Wyatt looked at both of his parents,

"So, are we dealing with some sort of demon that wipes out a person's memory and then stabs them?"

Neither Piper nor Leo said anything. They just looked at each other in question. Chris could easily tell that they were debating whether or not to tell Wyatt the truth. He was wondering the same thing himself. Wyatt, not noticing the silent debate, moved to stand up,

"Okay, I'll go get the Book of Shadows."

"No, wait, honey- sit down." Piper said to Wyatt, who looked at her with a confused expression as he settled back down on the couch next to his brother,

"What is it, Mom?" he asked, "If there's a demon after Chris, shouldn't we-"

"There isn't a demon after Chris, Wyatt." Leo said as he sat next to Piper.

"We know what happened to him, he's not in any trouble now." Piper added.

Wyatt looked at Chris, who sat there silently, staring into his tea as if he'd rather be hidden inside the mug.

"I don't understand. What's going on?" Wyatt demanded.

Chris drained the remains of his now cold tea. He could tell from Wyatt's voice that he was genuinely worried. Chris, too, was afraid- he knew now that if Wyatt learned about what he used to be, it would devastate him. He also knew that their parents knew best and, if they think that Wyatt is entitled to know, he should trust their decision… which is why he kept his mouth shut.

"Wyatt, do you remember being attacked when you were little?" Piper asked her eldest son, while wondering how she was going to explain this all tactfully.

"Which time?" Wyatt joked, although he was silently dreading where this conversation was headed.

"The day Chris was born. You might have blocked it out. You were two."

"You were attacked by an Elder," Leo said quietly, as though the memory still pained him, "An Elder who thought you would be a threat to us if you grew up. He wanted you dead."

Wyatt swallowed,

"Okay. But what does this have to do with Chris getting hurt?"

"It's because I was there." Chris said, finally mustering the courage to speak. Seeing the look of confusion of Wyatt's face, Chris forced himself to continue,

"This reality… it's a new one. In the reality I grew up in, you were evil. When Gideon- the Elder- attacked you, he kidnapped you and took you to the Underworld."

"We managed to stop it this time around," Leo continued, "But if we hadn't, you would have ended up spending weeks, even months, in the Underworld protecting yourself. Even though you would have defeated Gideon, you would have lost faith in good and turned evil."

"After years of you using your powers for evil, I decided that I would go back to the past and stop it from happening. I spent over a year in the past. On the day that I was due to be born, Gideon made his move on you, and he stabbed me to get me out of the way. Mom was in labour, Aunt Paige and Aunt Phoebe were looking after her, and Dad…"

"I was caught in a trap set up by Gideon." Leo finished. "When I got to Chris, Gideon's magic stopped me from being able to heal him. He died in my arms, and faded away. I assume that he ended up here, in his correct time."

"That's why you couldn't heal Chris yourself when you found him." Piper explained, "Only Elders can undo the magic of other Elders. Leo wasn't able to in the past because Gideon was still alive. Now that Gideon is dead, his magic was able to be reversed before Chris fully moved on."

Wyatt put up his hand to silence his family,

"Wait. I remember. I remember the Whitelighter we had after Dad became an Elder, and then he left unexpectedly." He looked at his parents with a mildly accusing stare, "And his name was Chris too- you told me that's who you named Chris after. You lied to me. That wasn't my brother's namesake- that was him!"

Chris ignored the fact that his family was talking about him as if he weren't there. He was more concerned about how upset Wyatt looked.

"And, I was evil?" Wyatt finally addressed his brother. Chris looked at him sadly,

"Yes, you were. But it wasn't your fault."

Wyatt's heart pounded in his chest. This was way too much for him to take,

"I… I can't handle this right now. I need to be alone."

Before anyone could say anything to him, Wyatt orbed out.
