The Wonders of Demon Goo

Chris awoke to the feeling that there was a slight weight on his chest. He was lying on his back, on his bed, with his arm wrapped around something. He looked down, squinting in the morning light, to see Cady laying her head on his chest. He smiled, trying not to move to wake her up. It didn't work for only a few seconds later her hazel eyes fluttered open staring into his green ones.

She smiled, "Good morning," she whispered.

"Morning," he replied watching as she pulled herself away stretching with a little yawn.

She got up off the bed for a moment, before thinking better of it and lying down next to Chris once more.

He smiled, entwining his hand with hers, both just lying on their backs staring at the ceiling, enjoying each other's company.

Chris sighed contently; he laughed inwardly thinking about the sister's reactions last night. He knew it must have been so weird seeing their neurotic whitelighter, the one who was always pushing them to get the demons, who never trusted anyone, kissing a complete stranger. He could only imagine their shock when they had discovered that Cady was part demon. Knowing himself, had he not been from the future and known about Phoebe's spell, he would have probably thought that Cady had cast a spell on him to make him trust her and act so not himself. But he knew Cady…at least deep down he knew what she was like. He knew he could trust her, he knew she'd never do anything to hurt him or the family.

He was disappointed in himself though, for the way he acted. He had always prided himself on being able to hide his emotions, to be calm and collected. But he couldn't last night, he had spent years trying to prepare himself for if he ever met his soul mate, but he never expected to be that attracted to her. He had wanted to be with her so badly that he explained something that could change the future…something he had sealed himself never to do. He looked down at the woman beside him, staring at the ceiling with a thoughtful expression, and realized…it was worth it.

Cady looked up at Chris just then, pushing herself up to kiss his nose before settling back down, a playful grin on her face. Chris caught on, leaning down to kiss her nose, which started their game. Cady would kiss a part of Chris' face and Chris would do the same…that is until either one couldn't take it anymore and kissed on the lips. Cady had started the game with no intention of loosing…but then Chris just had to go and kiss her sweet spot, just below her ear, and she lost it. She leaned in, sighing in defeat, before kissing Chris on the lips.

Chris grinned into the kiss, but decided to be just a little evil. He pulled away before things got too heated, leaving Cady wanting more. He grinned at her glazed eyes, knowing that if he hadn't meant to do it, he'd probably finish the job. "Come on," he whispered, "Breakfast is probably ready. Piper's been on a cooking spree since she found out she was pregnant again."

Cady took a deep breath to calm herself before following Chris up and getting off the bed. She stretched again, giving Chris a glimpse of her toned stomach. As she brought her arms back down to her sides, she gave him a teasing smile…she did that on purpose!

"You're evil," he muttered, stepping around the bed heading for his small pile of clean clothes.

"I know," she replied. She looked down at herself. She didn't really have any other clothes with her, a fact that Chris seemed to notice.

"I'm sure one of the sisters will let you borrow their clothes," he mentioned pulling out some tan pants and searching through the pile for a T-shirt.

"Right…" she replied sarcastically. She glanced down at herself once more before waving a hand over her clothes.

When Chris looked up Cady stood there fully clothed in tan jeans and a white fitted shirt that said 'We all have a little devil in us'.

Chris shook his head, walking into the little bathroom connected to the room to change. When he came back out, pulling his plain white T down, he saw that Cady was standing near a small mirror in the room fixing her hair. It was pulled back into a high ponytail, leaving her one strand to frame the side of her face.

She turned when she saw Chris standing there in the mirror. She smiled; walking over to him, draping her arms around his neck as his arms automatically went around her waist. "What took you so long?" she asked, eyebrow raised.

"Brat…" he muttered before kissing her quickly and orbing them down stairs.

Bright crystal blue orbs swirled into the kitchen where Piper was picking up the last three plates of food, "Oh Chris can you…" she trailed upon seeing that Chris wasn't alone, "never mind…"

She walked past the two, ignoring Cady, heading into the dining room where her sisters and Leo were waiting. Cady frowned slightly; she could tell that the Charmed Ones…or at least Piper…still didn't trust her.

"Hey," Chris murmured, lifting her chin to look at him. He smiled gently, rubbing his thumb against her cheek earning a smile from her. "Come on, it smells good."

He took her by the hand leading her into the dining room. He pulled out her chair for her before sitting in his own right next to her.

The breakfast was awkward to say the least. The sisters kept staring or sneaking glances at Cady, making her feel even more uncomfortable with Leo glaring at her the entire time. Cady kept her stare on her plate or her right hand, which was held by Chris' left. She glanced up only a few times to get her food or her drink…but every time she could see Paige or Piper averting their gaze. Phoebe looked at her questioningly, as if she wasn't sure if she could trust her but started to decide to give her the benefit of the doubt. Leo just kept glaring at her, despite whether she looked up or not. The only smiling face she saw was that of Wyatt being fed by Piper…though she wasn't sure if it was because he seemed to like her or because he was being fed.

She glanced at Chris seeing him glaring at the sisters and Leo. She looked back down; she didn't want to cause so many problems. She could practically feel the hostility radiating off the Charmed Ones, directed at her. So she did the only thing she could…she shimmered out.

Chris glared more at the sisters, making it clear that he blamed them for her sudden disappearance, before orbing out after her, knowing where she'd be. He reappeared on the top of the Golden Gate Bridge, smiling at their similar thought places. He saw her standing there staring at the traffic below. He could tell she was sad.

He stepped up behind her, wrapping his arms around her waist. She leaned into the embrace, taking comfort in the fact that at least he cared for her. "Sorry," she muttered after a while, "I shouldn't have shimmered out like that."

"It's okay," Chris replied, "Honestly, I was about to orb us both out. The sisters can be very…suspicious…" He said, thinking back to when he first got there. He saved their lives and Wyatt's numerous times and they still didn't trust him completely.

"I kinda figured as much," she said. She paused a moment, she was actually heading somewhere other than the Golden Gate Bridge but decided against it. "How about we do something to get out minds off of their suspiciousness?" she asked.

"What do you have in mind?" Chris asked, getting the feeling that their ideas of fun and time occupation were the exact same.

She looked up into his eyes.

"Demon hunt!" they said at the same time, laughing as Cady shimmered them down to the underworld.

Back at the manor, hours had passed since Chris orbed out after Cady. Truth be told, they were a little worried. Phoebe could feel the guilt that the girl held within her, the guilt that her presence was causing more problems for Chris…but she also felt something else…fear. She hated when people were afraid of her, especially people who had yet to get to know her. Paige was suspicious of the girl, but kept it on the down low, thankfully.

Piper on the other hand…she was just plain obvious with her dislike of the girl. Phoebe didn't know if it was the fact that the girl was a stranger…or that she was part demon and something was about to turn little Wyatt…or that Chris, the neurotic whitelighter from the future, was acting ga ga over her…or…a combination of all three.

Phoebe really didn't know, and it worried her…she wouldn't be able to stop Piper from yelling or doing something she'd regret later. Phoebe was really starting to worry now. The two had been gone since breakfast, it was nearing midnight now, and Chris hadn't responded to any of their calls. She started to pace around the living room, waiting for the pair to arrive…and annoying the hell out of Paige and Piper as well.

Piper was about to tell her sister to stop wearing a hole in the floor when the familiar sound of orbing filled the entrance to the room. Phoebe wheeled around to the sound of laughter and the sight of two young adults standing in the archway covered in multicolored slime, ash, and dirt. How anyone could be laughing while standing with their arms out, ooze dripping off them was beyond her. But here they were red faced with laughter, dripping on the wooden floor.

"Ewww…" Cady said mid laugh, "This is so disgusting."

"You're telling me?" Chris replied trying to shake off some of the ooze, "I get this at least once a week in the future."

"But it was so worth it," Cady added.

"I know did you see the look on his face when we…" Chris trailed, laughing again…a very strange sight for the Charmed Ones.

Cady nodded, "Or when you…"

"And then you…"

They both started laughing again, not even noticing that the Charmed Ones were standing right over there.

Once Chris' laughter died down, he turned to Cady, "I didn't know a leg was supposed to bend that way."

Just then Chris found himself pinned against the wall with Cady's right leg stretched out against his chest, her foot near his head. "Well, my dad's sister…my aunt…was a gymnastics' coach."

Chris looked at her interested, "And the martial arts?"

"My dad's idea, he thought that if my powers didn't work for some reason I should still have a way to defend myself."

"Smart man," Phoebe said, drawing their attention to the sisters.

Cady removed her leg from Chris' chest, staring at the ground with a mixture of embarrassment and shame.

"So let me get this straight," Piper spoke, "Your demonic father wanted you to learn to fight? Where was your mother in all this?" she asked, clearly concerned that the woman staying in her house was trained to fight by a demon.

"Actually…" Cady replied softly, "My mom was the demon…my dad was a witch."

An awkward silence filled the room, clearly that was not the explanation that was expected. The only demons that they had know that fell for a witch were men…they never heard of a demon mother before…unless you count the manticore…

Sensing that Cady didn't want to talk on the subject and that Piper was close to snapping at the girl again…in Chris' opinion probably something along the lines of 'what was your father, stupid?' or 'did you mother have to trick him?', knowing her, Chris decided to get Cady out of there.

"I'm gonna go take a shower…" he replied, taking a step away from the girls.

Cady smiled gently, turning to look at the sisters, "Would it be alright if I used one of your…"

She never got a chance to finish her question when Chris wrapped his arms around her, leaning down to whisper "Who said anything about taking that shower alone?" in her ear before orbing them up to his room just as she turned around to face him.

Phoebe's eyes widened, thankfully she was the only one who heard that last comment. She smiled gently, hoping that nothing too big happened during the boy's shower…

A/N – Just so you know, nothing happens in the shower…it was a lot of demon guts to get out of their hair. Yes there were probably some touchy feely things, but nothing too hot and heavy…explained in later chapters.
