"Chris" Leo cried, rushing forward and grabbing hold of his youngest son. "look at you! It's alright, you're ok, we didn't loose you"
"Da belurgh" Chris attempted to speak, but Leo's tight embrace had restricted his wind pipe.
"ugh, Hi dad" Wyatt interrupted, " I'm here too you know"
Leo let go of Chris, and stepped back slightly to look at his sons properly.
"Its good to see you too Dad" Chris joked, but couldn't help wondering if perhaps his father had had some sort of mental issues back in 2004. "care to explain why you think I might not be ok?"
Leo looked at his youngest son, who seemed relatively care free, and definitely not half as nuerotic as ther last time he had seen him, he also seemed slightly different fromt eh original chris who had come back to the future….and suddenly it clicked.
"how old are you?" he asked
"I'm 20" Wyatt replied, talking slowly and carefully as if to a young child, because jeez for someone who wyatt had always considered so intelligent, his father seemed to be not quite with it. " so that makes Chris 18 doesn't it"
"oh, that means, chris hasn't yet come….oh but then he doesn't need to now, …so won't remember any,ah hah…."
"hey leo" Victor interrupted. " I hate to break up this reunion but can we get back to the task in hand? That is to say why we called you here in the first place"
"yeah, yeah, absolutely" Leo turned round to find mini Piper staring at him shyly, while mini Phoebe had attached herself to her father's leg, and baby Paige was once again attempting to eat some of Patty's hair. "so what happened again?"
"well several decades ago Penny was born, and then today one of her spells back fired and turned the girls back into children"
"So we need you to orb up there and ask the elders for a reversal spell" Patty continued " Paige, please leave mummy's hair alone, its not nice"
"I'll see what I can do" Leo promised as he orbed himself heaven ward
The kitchen phone began to ring "Wyatt can you get that please" Victor cried , finding that mobility is a problem when one has a toddler hugging one's right leg. "Phoebe sweetheart, daddy can't move if you stay there"
"exactly" the 3 year-old grinned " I no want you to go no where"
"yes, but…."
"who was that man?" Piper spoke up. "he seemed really nice"
Fortunately Victor was saved the job of explaining to his daughter that the nice man was in fact her future husband, or ex husband, or whatever their status currently was, by Wyatt returning.
"that was the club, mom booked a band tonight and there's some problem about them setting up, and a delivery has been mixed up or something, someone needs to go down there and sort it out."
"well tell them that we are otherwise engaged" snapped Patty, who had decided that the only way to stop Paige from going any where near her hair was to return her to the playpen. However the baby didn't look too happy about this. "Victor does it look as if her her bottom lip trembling to you? Or is it just wind.. …? She's going to start crying again isn't she….oh god, we only just got her to stop…oh no..Paigey-woo I didn't mean it..oh look…...its stopped moving..maybe she was just breathing out of her mouth…dammit why can't babies talk properly…."
" we'll go" Chris volunteered before his grandmother started crying herself. " Wy and I help mom out all the time in the future"
" I don't think so" Victor replied " we need all hands on deck here"
"Grandpa, I am sure you and Grandma can cope with three little girls, you did once before remember, you're just out of practice. Besides, mom's so going to blow your ass up if you let her club go to rack and ruin"
"You have such a way with words Christopher" Patty said, not entirely sure if she liked being called grandma, "but you do have a point"
"Cool" Wyatt grabbed his coat " Come on lil bro, lets go check out 2004"
"you'll be fine" Chris assured them as he dashed out the door.
"wish I could feel that confident" Victor grumbled.
