An Explanation is in Order
The sisters just stood there in shock for a moment or two…or five, wondering when their whitelighter would be coming up for air.
When that didn't happen Piper snapped. She tried to freeze the pair but it didn't work, so instead she resorted to more mortal methods. "What the Hell is going on here!" she shouted. If the pair heard them, they didn't show it. "Chris!" she shouted again. "CHRISTOPHER PERRY!"
That seemed to get his attention for he broke the lip lock but didn't pull away from the girl. He glanced over at the sisters before groaning and resting his forehead against the girl's, hands slipping down her arms to wrap around her waist as she did the same.
Seeing that she had gotten his attention…or at least some of it…Piper continued, "Who the hell is this?" she asked, motioning to the girl in his arms.
Chris gave a small smile as he stared into the hazel eyes of the red head. "This is…Caty?" he asked, he hadn't really been paying attention to anything either of them had said before, too focused on her eyes.
"Cady," she corrected, smiling gently, "And you're…Chris?" she asked, smiling more as he nodded.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait a minute," Phoebe said, seeing them about to head into another lip lock, "You don't know each other?"
The pair glanced over at the sisters, "No," Chris replied as Cady said, "Yes."
They looked at each other for a moment before looking back at the sisters, this time Cady said, "No," while Chris said "Yes."
They faced each other again, laughing at their unison comments. Cady rested her forehead on Chris' chest, shaking her head in merriment as Chris turned to face his clueless family. "It's complicated."
"Oh yeah?" Piper asked, "Explain now."
"I can't…future con…" he started to say.
"Don't even think about saying future consequences," Paige said.
Chris sighed, tightening his grip on the girl, looking once again into the eyes that captured him. He leaned in, about to kiss her once again.
Piper groaned in disgust as the whitelighter once again went at it.
Phoebe quickly turned away from the couple taking a few long strides away from them, followed by her sisters. "Oh my god, oh my…oh wow…" she muttered as she braced herself against the stairs.
"What is it Phoebs?" Paige asked.
"Getting some major vibes here…" Phoebe said, trying to gain control of her power.
"How? I thought we all took that potion." Paige asked.
"I know, it works too trust me but…whatever Chris is feeling right now is pretty powerful." Phoebe said as the wave of emotions passed. "I haven't felt passion like that since…Cole…"
"Ok, enough of this," Piper said walking over to the couple, dragging Paige along with her. She walked right up to Chris, grabbing Cady's arm and dragging her away from Chris, much to his disappointment. As soon as she was pulled from his grasp he wanted nothing more than to kill who ever did it…but he couldn't very well kill his mother while she was pregnant with him.
"Piper!" he called.
"No, now since you can't keep your hands off her, we're going to put her somewhere till you talk." Piper said. She turned to Paige, handing over the girl before whispering to her, "Take her upstairs."
As Paige orbed away, Piper could see that Chris was about to follow, "Oh no, don't even think about it mister. You come with me." She grabbed his arm and half dragged him into the living room, followed by Phoebe.
Chris tried to clear his head of what was happening to him. He knew what it was, and he had to control it…but she was so close…just upstairs…waiting…probably afraid of coming down and facing the Charmed Ones.
Paige orbed into the room, nodding to Piper that she had put the girl in the attic. "Ok, so spill." Piper said staring at Chris who kept glancing back at the stairs.
"What was that?" Phoebe asked, holding a hand over her heart to try to steady it. It was still beating quickly after that last experience.
"That was Cady," Chris said, turning back to face his family.
"Yeah, and…" Paige prodded.
"She's from the future…" Chris trailed, rubbing his hands together. Even now, only separated form Cady for a few seconds, he wanted to be near her. He could feel the pull on his soul to go to her…an affect of the spell.
"Is she a demon?" Paige asked.
"I don't think so…" Chris said trying to think.
"So who are you and what have you done to Chris?" Phoebe asked.
"What?" He asked, glancing over at the stairs again.
"What happened to our neurotic whitelighter who's so dead set on killing any demon that enters the house?" Phoebe clarified.
"Huh?" He asked, looking back at them.
"What's wrong with you?" Piper asked, seeing the jitteriness of the whitelighter.
"I just…want to be near Cady…" he replied, "Damn spell…" he muttered under his breath.
"What spell?" Phoebe asked, almost not hearing it herself and she was sitting closest to him.
"Wait, you're under a spell?" Paige asked.
Chris sighed, "I can't tell you, fut…"
"Damn future consequences, I want to know what is going on!" Piper shouted.
"Phoebe's spell!" Chris shouted, letting the small bit of information that he would have been able to hide under normal circumstances when his thoughts weren't filled with the vision of the girl waiting upstairs.
"I didn't cast a spell on you…" Phoebe said defending herself.
"Not you…future you." Chris sighed, he'd already slipped…he might as well tell them…then maybe he could go to Cady. "In my future, you become so obsessed with trying to find your true love, to have a child, that you cast a spell to find him, your soul mate. But, as always in this family, it backfired. It made everyone able to tell who their soul mate was upon meeting them."
"I did?" Phoebe asked.
"Yes, it caused a lot of divorces when people actually found the people they were meant to be with. And no," Chris said before Piper could say anything, "You and Leo did not divorce, you were one of the few who found their soul mates on their own."
The sisters turned to each other to discuss this little piece of information as Chris' gaze returned to the stairs, he was shaking at this point using every bit of will power to keep from running up them.
"Do you believe that?" Paige asked.
"No," Piper replied, "Phoebe would never do that."
Phoebe remained quiet, ever since she had that vision; she'd been on a journey to find her husband. She didn't doubt that in a few years that she would in fact, cast such a spell.
"So what's wrong with Chris?" Paige asked.
"Maybe…Cady's a demon that brainwashed him?"
"No…Chris is too smart for that." Paige answered.
"I think Chris' right," Phoebe said, glancing at the man who was pacing back and forth staring at the stairs. "I don't know about you, but I definitely think I would have cast a spell like that."
Just then, before either Piper or Paige could reply, Chris stopped pacing. "I can't take it any more." He spoke, before starting to orb.
The sisters, knowing that he was probably going to Cady, made a break for the stairs. They ran up it, throwing open the door as the saw Chris orb in.
Cady was by the window, hand by her chin, staring out of it lost in thought. She was breathing heavily, not noticing that Chris had orbed in. He smiled gently at that before walking quietly over behind her, wrapping his arms around her waist.
She gasped, turning around to face him before pulling him forcefully into another kiss…one which Chris gladly responded too.
The sisters stepped more into the room, hoping that their presence would alert the two to the conscious world…it didn't.
"Oh for the love of…" Piper exclaimed getting annoyed. She extended her hands, creating a small force between the two people, throwing them away from each other.
Chris hit the floor first, looking up to see Cady hit the corner of the window and the wall. He flung his arm out, throwing the three sisters telekinetically back to the ground as he ran over to Cady, helping her up.
The sisters were shocked to say the least when Chris, their whitelighter, threw them into the wall. But they were even more shocked to see a healing glow come from the boy's hand gently placed on the girl's back as she told him she was fine.
"I didn't know Chris could heal," Phoebe whispered to Paige.
"I don't think he knew either," Paige replied thinking of all the times he could have healed them but was unable to.
"What do you think you were doing?" Chris asked angrily, walking over to them.
"What the hell were you doing?" Piper retaliated.
Sensing that a fight was about to start the girl spoke for the first time before the sisters. "Sorry," she mumbled, "It was my fault."
"No it wasn't," Chris said, turning to look at her. He tilted her chin, forcing her to look at him, he smiled. He leaned down about to kiss her when Piper's voice broke out again.
"Not this again," Piper said, she sighed, "Since we're not going to get any answers out of you alone, both of you down stairs now!"
She turned and stormed out of the room, followed closely by her sisters muttering something about crazy hormones.
Chris smiled wider at Cady, wrapping an arm around her waist before heading down to go explain to his unknowing mother.
A/N – I forgot to mention before, Chris is conceived, but Phoebe and Paige don't know that it is with Chris. For some reason Phoebe didn't make the connection between Wyatt's little brother and Chris. He tried to get Piper and Leo together by himself, earning nothing more than suspicion from Paige and Phoebe.
