Trinity: Meeting the Family…Again

Chris' mind groggily crawled out of the fog it was wrapped in. Before opening his eyes he did the customary review of where he was last, who he was with, what hurt, and how he ended up in a horizontal position when he distinctly remembered being parallel to the ground last time his eyes were open.

Okay. Went to past with Wyatt and Kyara. Fought some demons, got hurt…except it doesn't hurt now. Anywhere. That can't be right…

Eyes flying open Chris called out to his brother angrily. "Wyatt! What were you thinking? You healed everything! You know we can't afford to waste all of that magic on little things…" He trailed of as, now sitting up, he got a clear view of the room. His aunts Paige and Phoebe were staring at him, as was his mother, brother, and sister who was currently being healed by his dad.

"Settle down, Spaz." Wyatt shoved his little brother on his now-uninjured shoulder so that he was semi-lying down again. "Dad healed you, I didn't. And he's also healed Kyara and me. Gotta say it's nice to be able to move without something hurting again." He grinned at his dad who had finished healing Kyara and moved to stand beside his wife and her sisters.

"You're telling me." Kyara said as she sat on the arm of the couch that currently held Chris. "Those broken ribs were getting fairly annoying."

Grimacing in sympathy, Chris gingerly sat up. Smiling when he found that his broken ribs had indeed been healed, he turned to thank his dad. The four of them were all staring at him, as if they had seen a ghost or something. None of them made a move to say anything or come closer to the three from the future. They just stood there, clustered together as if for comfort, staring.

Glancing athis brother and sister, Chris saw that they didn't understand this reaction any more than he did and were smiling awkwardly. His gaze flitted around the attic, noticing that so many of those strange little knick-knacks were still there in the future.

"You guys keep this stuff forever, you know that?" Chris said, in hopes of breaking the thick silence. As if it were some kind of sign to the sisters and Leo that this wasn't some crazy dream, Phoebe and Paige suddenly broke out of their silence and shrieked happily.

"Chris is back!" Phoebe called before running to her youngest nephew and hugging him as tightly as possible. She was soon joined by Paige who, combined with his other aunts weight was slowly suffocating him.

"I…can't…breath…Wyatt, little…help…here?" Chris managed to gasp out from within his aunts' embrace. Still giggling happily, the two backed away from him enough to get a good look at him. Now able to see and breathe a little better, Chris noticed his parents standing just of to his side, smiling as if they'd just won the lottery.

Wyatt watched his aunts and parents as they swarmed around his little brother and laughed when he heard Chris calling for his help. He looked to Kyara, who was looking amused at the exchange as she sat on the edge of the couch closest to Wyatt.

"You know, you'd think they'd be happier to see us." He said to her in a mock hurt voice as he crossed his arms in front of him.

"I know. Chris was the one that always got into trouble. I'd like to think we'd be more welcomed than him." Kyara pouted as she followed Wyatt's lead and pretended to be hurt by the lack of greeting. In truth, they were amazed they had recognized any of them, being from the future and all.

"Hey! I didn't get into trouble that often!" Chris cried from within the circle of family members while glaring at his siblings. Piper, Phoebe, Paige and Leo backed away slightly from Chris in order to get a better look at the other two people from the future. Leo recognized Wyatt from the vision Barbas had given him in the hospital six months ago. With his long curly blond hair and black clothes he looked the same as he had then, which worried Leo. The other girl none of them recognized, though she looked as if she were related to Chris and Wyatt. With her waist length almost- black hair and brown eyes she could have been related to any of the sisters.

"Wyatt?" Piper asked tentatively. When he smiled and nodded, she went up to him slowly before embracing him just as she had with Chris. Paige and Phoebe followed before they all turned to Kyara.

"This is Kyara, our sister." Wyatt told his parents and aunts when they didn't immediately recognize the girl.

"I have a daughter?" Piper asked, eyes wide. Looking at Chris and Wyatt, who both nodded, she smiled and hugged the girl as well.

Paige and Phoebe were holding hands and jumping around screaming, "We have a niece! We have a niece!"

"Why don't we go downstairs and talk? It's a little crowded in here I think." Leo said before walking out of the attic. The others followed behind him and soon they were seated in the bright conservatory. Kyara, Wyatt, and Chris took up one couch while Leo sat with Piper on another. Paige and Phoebe had each claimed a chair.

"So…you're probably wondering what we're doing here." Wyatt started off. He couldn't help himself as he studied his family, remembering every little thing about them and noting the small differences between the ones in his memory and the ones now sitting before him.

"Are you actually going to tell us, or are you going to feed us lies and try to manipulate us until we get the truth out of you?" Paige, blunt as ever, asked.

"Paige!" Piper cried, glaring at her little sister. She had to admit, even though she was happy to have her son back, both of them this time, and her daughter, she did want the truth this time.

"She's right though," Phoebe said, looking between her niece and nephews, "It would be easier if you told us the truth this time."

The Trinity exchanged glances. This time? "Uhh…well, we just came to change the future. Apparently again, if this isn't the first time we've been here." Chris stuttered out.

"Actually last time it was just you, Chris, but what do you have to change? Wyatt's not evil is he?" Phoebe asked in alarm as she looked at Wyatt. He's wearing black clothes! She thought as sudden unease hit her.

"W-what?" Wyatt asked, completely shocked by her question. It seemed totally random to him. He turned to look at his younger brother and sister, both of whom were currently struggling to hold in their laughter. Chris lost the struggle as he burst into a fit of laughter that had him bent over double.

"No I'm not evil." Wyatt told his parents and aunts, " Technically I'm the Good one of the three of us. Kyara's the one that represents Evil. And what is so funny?" He demanded of the still laughing Chris.

"Wyatt…evil…it's ….absurd…even growing up….you were such a goody-two shoes!" Chris said in-between his laughter. Wiping his now streaming eyes on the backs of his hands he took deep, calming breaths to try and get a hold of himself again.

Leo smiled and looked at his wife. Chris was actually laughing! He had seemed so focused and subdued last time. He really did change it. Leo thought happily. The happiness only lasted until the four adults took in the last bit of Wyatt's comment though.

"Wait, so you're evil?" Piper asked of her daughter. " Why! Why does one of my children have to be evil?" She sobbed, immediately jumping to the conclusion that they were there to save her daughter from turning evil this time.

"Mom! Settle down! I just represent evil. Just like Wyatt represents good, that doesn't mean he's an angel though, just like I'm not a demon. And Chris is neither good nor evil. Geez, what year is it that you guys don't know anything about the Trinity?" Kyara asked as she looked from her calming-down mom to her confused aunts.

"Trinity?" Paige questioned, looking to her brother in law for answers. He was an elder after all.

Leo caught the look and shrugged. " I can check with the other elders, but I don't know if they can tell me anything. I haven't heard anything about a Trinity before."

"Don't bother asking, they'll tell you soon enough. When is this exactly though? How old are Chris and Wyatt?" Kyara asked, trying to ignore the fact that her dad was still an elder in this time.

"Wyatt's three and Chris is six months old." Piper told the adult versions of her children. Just then blue orbs appeared and little Wyatt appeared in his dad's lap. "Speaking of…"

"Dada!" little Wyatt said reaching up his short arms for his father to hug him. Chris started laughing again, much to the annoyance of big Wyatt.

"Dude! I'm bigger than you!" Chris said through laughing as he pointed at the little version of his older brother. Big Wyatt smacked him on the back of the head.

"Yeah well I'm bigger than both versions of you." He said as he glared at Chris. Shrieking could be heard coming from the nursery above them. The three Halliwells from the future screwed up their faces at the shrill noise. " What is that?"

"That would be you, Chris. I'll get him." Leo said as he went to retrieve his crying son. Entering the room again with the baby who had stopped screaming as soon as Leo had picked him up, he cooed to the little boy, talking nonsense in baby talk to quiet him. Big Chris grimaced at the embarrassing sight, his humiliation not helped in the least by Kyara who had cackled gleefully when she saw the baby. Clapping her hands together she exclaimed. "I'm bigger than both my older brothers!" Seeing the death glares directed at her by said older brothers she immediately quieted.

Piper watched her children as they laughed and argued. She felt so good seeing Chris smile and seem less uptight than before. He genuinely seemed happy, well, happier than he had. His eyes still held shadows though, as did Wyatt and Kyara's. She knew the future couldn't have been changed all that much if they had to come back to fix it again.

Leo watched the three as well, his arm around his wife as she smiled at him. He felt the same as she did, and knew that something bad must have happened for them to come back. What scared him most though, was that he recognized the shadows that haunted the eyes of his children. He had seen them before, when he had fought in the war. As much as they laughed and joked, he couldn't deny that his kids had the look of soldiers. They had seen war, and that scared him more than anything.

Wyatt once again viewed his family, all of them, here, together. He couldn't help but smile, it had been so long and so much had changed but being here with them again it felt so natural to fall back into their usual playful banter and arguments. The illusion didn't last long though as he glanced at his brother and sister. They were tired, covered in dirt and blood and ash from the fights they had left only a few hours ago. Their magic was nearly exhausted; Chris' was almost definitely completely used up after the fight in the attic. As though his body had heard Wyatt's thoughts and decided to prove them right, Chris yawned.

Piper, as sharp as ever, noticed immediately and was shocked at how tired her three children actually looked. Why didn't I notice it right away? She wondered, but she knew it was because they had all been so happy to see Chris again, and to meet her daughter and see a good Wyatt. Well, enough was enough; they looked in desperate need of some sleep.

"You three look like you could use some rest. Why don't you sleep until suppertime? Darryl and Sheila will be coming, I'm sure they'll be glad to see you again Chris, and to meet Wyatt and Kyara." Piper told them.

"I'm fine. Really, Kyara, Wyatt, you guys should sleep. I'd rather stay up." Chris immediately replied. He doubted it would work on Wyatt though.

"Hah! Nice try. You're going to rest whether you want to or not, Chris." Wyatt told his brother with a grin.

Damn. Knew that wouldn't work…there's no point in not trying though. " But Wyatt, we've gotten just as much, or as little as the case may be, sleep as you, how come you don't have to rest? You know I hate just lying around."

Wyatt smiled evilly. " Christopher, of the three of us, I have the most magic left. I know for a fact that yours is completely used up. So that's why you're going to sleep, and I'm going to stay awake to protect your sorry ass from any demons that attack."

Chris knew that look; it rarely ever meant something good. Kyara knew it too.

"Hey, all of us have been fighting and cloaking ourselves constantly for the past two weeks, there's no way you have enough magic left to protect the both of us from an attack. So I say just Chris should sleep, that way the two of us can stay up." Kyara looked pleadingly at Wyatt. She really didn't want to sleep either.

Chris glared at his little sister. "Traitor." He muttered to her under his breath. Kyara just stuck her tongue out at him. The Charmed Ones watched the exchange with amusement, it seemed the three of them had forgotten they were there as they argued.

"Uh, guys?" Phoebe waved at them to get their attention. " None of you has to stay up in case of an attack, we're here. So all of you should just go to sleep."

Seeing they were about to protest, Piper and Leo pulled parental rank. " No arguments, all of you look dead on your feet. Get some rest and we'll wake you when it's dinner time." Piper said in her most commanding tone. Leo just looked at his kids, clearly telling them to listen to their mother.

"But-"

"No way!"

"Enough! Sleep, now, or I'll make you!" Wyatt held up a hand threateningly. It began to glow a silver color as he activated his whitelighter abilities to put people to sleep.

"You wouldn't dare." Chris glared at Wyatt's glowing hand, but before he could get away or do something to stop him, Wyatt said goodnight and waved his had at Chris. Catching him as he fell asleep, Wyatt laid his brother out on the couch gently.

He turned to Kyara next, hand still glowing. She backed away from him.

"Don't even think-" She began but stopped as the silver glow washed over her and she fell into a deep sleep. Once the two were placed on the couches comfortably, Wyatt turned to his family.

"Isn't that a little dangerous? I mean, what if something happens and they need to wake up?" Paige wanted to know.

"They'll wake up as soon as their magic returns enough to break through the spell. I can wake them up myself if I have to." Wyatt glanced lovingly at his younger siblings. They looked so much younger in their sleep.

"Now, mister, you get some sleep too. No buts!" Piper pushed her oldest son to the only remaining couch, totally ignoring the fact that he was twenty-five years old and a full head and shoulders taller than her. "I don't want to see you for at least two hours!" And with that, Paige and Phoebe smiled and waved at their shocked nephew as they left the room, followed by Piper and Leo who turned around and wished him good night before leaving. Grumbling about overreacting parents, Wyatt laid back and closed his eyes.

"Darryl, Sheila! Come in, come in!" Piper said as she opened the front door to admit their guests.

"Hey Piper, you seem happy." Sheila said with a smile as she took in her friends beaming face. "Something good happen?"

"Oh yeah, you'll see in a second." Piper replied as she led them into the dining room where Paige was setting the table and Phoebe was putting out a salad. A tall blond man walked in from the kitchen, carrying glasses in his hands.

"Hey Darryl, Sheila." He said as he began to lay out a glass at each setting.

"Who's that?" Darryl asked the still smiling Piper.

"It's…"

"WYATT!" the shout came from the conservatory where Kyara and Chris had still been sleeping. Apparently, Chris had woken up. Wyatt grimaced as the angry form of his brother came into the room, fury emanating from him in waves as he glared daggers at Wyatt.

"Hey Chris, feeling better?" Wyatt dropped the last glass quickly as he ran away from Chris. Following swiftly, Chris cornered Wyatt at the other end of the room and pinned him to the wall with telekinesis.

"See your powers are back." Wyatt said from his position several feet above the floor.

"Yes, thanks." Chris replied as he dropped Wyatt to the ground with a loud thump. "You know Kyara's gonna kill you for that."

"Yeah, that's why mom's here to protect me." Wyatt grinned. It felt so good to be able to say that again. Mom.

"Is that…" Darryl and Sheila had watched in shock as Chris had appeared. Instead of finishing the question, they looked to Leo and Piper who were watching the two men with smiles on their faces.

"Yep, that's Chris and Wyatt and my daughter, Kyara, is in the other room." Piper told the shocked pair.

"What is it with your family and time traveling?" Darryl asked as he went to greet Chris and Wyatt.

"We just can't help it." A female voice said from the doorway. Turning, they saw Kyara standing there with a none too amused expression on her face. "I'll get you for that later Wyatt." She said with a glare as everyone sat down to eat.

"Wait, no offense butI think you three should clean up a little before dinner." Piper pointed out their grimy torn clothes. Looking down at themselves the three halliwell children snapped their fingers and instantly were dressed in newer, cleaner versions of the clothes they had been wearing.

"Hey! Personal Gain!" Piper cried out. Wyatt, Kyara, and Chris looked at her with blank stares.

"I'm sorry...what?" Chris asked. He looked to Kyara and Wyatt, they seemed as lost as he was.

"Personal Gain mister! I know I didn't raise you to use magic as you pleased!" Piper ranted to her children as Leo and her sisters tried to hide their amusement.

"Wow, I think the last time I heard that was when Wyatt told Chris to make it snow so that we'd be able to make snowmen, in the middle of July." Kyara said in wonder. Chris and Wyatt just continued to stare at their mom.

Piper fought the urge to smile and lost. "Let's just eat, shall we?" She said as everyone settled in their chairs for a night of Piper Halliwells famous food.

The meal was filled with talking and joking. The family catching up on what had been going on at Magic School and with Darryl and Sheila's kids. Finishing up quickly, the group moved to the sitting room, cups of coffee in hand as the conversation continued.

Kyara had been content to just sit and listen to her family talk. It had been so long since she had seen her godparents or any one else for that matter that she wanted to soak as much of it in as she could. Her brother's felt the same, she could tell. Now that all of their powers were back they could communicate as they always did, mind to mind, kind of like a cross between empathy and telepathy. So wrapped up in the conversation were they that nobody noticed the three clouds of black orbs that entered the room, the three crossbows that took aim, or the three arrows that were released with a twang before thudding into their targets.

A/N: The next chapter will be a lot of action, so obviously I needed to set up the characters in this one. Sorry it's kinda slow, but It's gonna get better, promise! Tell me if you want me to put anything in this story, absolutely anything. I'm sure I'll find a way to fit it in, and more ideas means faster updates and more chapters! Reviews are a writer's best friend:)
