Saving My Family
Disclaimers: The show and characters don't belong to me, the story belongs to me everything else belongs to the creator and the movie company.
Warning: With this chapter they start getting everything they need to get the house ready now. As they begin work on the house and and things are quiet till Look Who's Barking starts. Each episode is going to stay the same, but there's going to be a couple changes to it and Prue is alive for seasons four through eight as she trains her sister. Phoebe grows closer to Drake and there's a few references to the Twilight Saga for Phoebe and Drake in this story.
But from here the rest of the series is reimagined with Andy and Prue alive, Chris living with them now and Drake part of the family from this point forward. Till the final battle as they prepare for Chris and Wyatt's birthdays and season's five through eight remain the same, but Chris's identity is known by the entire family.
Also there is going to be a lot of Phoebe bashing do to her being very clingy and controlling till the trio all say to stay out of their personal business. As the rant that Max gave Goofy comes into this as well…..
Chapter 22: Cruel Truths And Future Reprimands IV
August 2003-Prince Charmed :
"Great, he wants you back and is throwing a magical temper tantrum till we give you back to him, baby bear wants his big brother bear back." she said bemused and he nodded gently. "I should have seen that coming right now in all truth, the second we let our guards down. We get attacked, but do these parasites ever learn whose house this is, that coming here. And when we're all here, as it's total suicide." Chris said to her and she nodded as Piper closed her eyes.
"And does anyone else get sick of cleaning up after these guys." her double said in response bemused then and Leo nodded in agreement. "Well the house is a mess again anyway, but hang on right now, let the object of objection become, but a dream. As I cause the scene to become unseen." Chris said and the attic reverted back to before the attack and she nodded. "You better start using that spell repeatedly to clean up the mess now, ladies." he said and the trio nodded.
"Reverse the damage, start using this repeatedly, so no more clean up, we just use this to clean up, it changes everything back 15 to 20 minutes prior to the attack." he said and she nodded gently. "In the family we just use our powers inside the house, but slightly normal life, our powers, as witches are bound from 3 months to 11 years old. Prue would approve that idea anyway, but the guys and I train to be whitelighters, and then at 11, you do yours now here."
"As what had her calling me a liar is what I never got around to being taught yet, in fact my training was halted, violently at 18 years old, this year in my present. But 11 months ago, in 19 years." he said and they both nodded. "So not 21, you're 16, going on 17, baby?" she asked and he nodded. "Yeah, my 18th birthday is October 2004, but 16 years apart in age, imagine if you married in high school at 16 years old, you had me at 17." he said and they both nodded then.
"But dad, you, never got to teaching me that yet, but being half whitelighter, I couldn't save you without killing myself too." he said and Leo nodded. "The arrows?" she asked and he looked down and she nodded and pulled him into hug and he tightened his arms around her. "My twin, my sister and I are all half whitelighter, like Wyatt and Paige are, bad side effect here. When you can't yank our only vulnerability without killing ourselves too." he said and she nodded gently.
"I take it everyone that could in our family was dead now, son?" Leo asked him and he nodded gently to him then as he went further then. "I was training you from 6 to 11 years old, so if we were Jedi, you were my apprentice, and the bond of father bear with cub bear. Was beyond strong and, like being the son or daughter of a pro player here right now. I was training you from an early age and then your mother starts witch training." he said and she smiled then.
"Everything that mattered to me, in adults, was destroyed by the war, in my future, what's left of my, our, family is my twin and sister, and that's not an exaggeration, I mean that. Our family, is you and dad, me, Wyatt and the duo, a family of 6, but you had 4 children. That's including me, guys." he said and she nodded. "What about…" Leo started to say and he quickly said it. "Our altercation in Valhalla, to get you ready for said confrontation with your mentor here."
"What's your reaction if someone you trust killed me, Wyatt or both of us, or tried to?" he asked him and he said it with a growl. "I would never think twice about, he's being destroyed son." he said to him then. "It was me, yes, but that was so we can prepare for this, but imagine 14 months in and by then the bonds of a real family between us. And now it's like as normal as you can get, and you know someone was after him, but you didn't know who here right now."
"Till the good version of our said demon outright told us this in the middle of an all out brawl between the quartet, both sides. I was making you into your other side of your military training, do no harm yes, but even you were trained in weapons. But now you're an elder and your added weapon is lightning." he said and she nodded. "I get the point, but your exchange with Piper, I heard that sarcastic annoyance in….." he started to say and Chris smiled and she grinned then.
"And now the tone of sarcastic and annoyed witch comes into it, that was the exchange I had with Prue, well the house is a mess again. And does anyone else get sick of cleaning up after these guys, I take it Prue was trying to remind me. And of everyone of our exchanges during our powers coming online, if she was the one that said not to say anything. Because I hear that tone from her all the time, before she was killed." she said and he smiled and Leo hid a chuckle then.
"Yeah, but you and dad mixed together, with her sarcastic wit thrown in there for good measure, just imagine if I was 12, and we had this going on. You hear my thoughts coming out in her voice next after the home stretch of her last 2 years." he said and she smiled. "Or just 6 years, with Victor back and she's away in college for 3 years, before returning for the previous 3. We just decided to renew our vows and then Cole comes into it." Leo said and she chuckled at that.
"Yeah if you're mine, you sound like your aunt when we were working together, but it's been 6 weeks right now, since Bianca at the moment. You look like me, but you got her wits and sarcasm baby, so point made, we should have done it last night. And before they got the drop on us, and before this spell packed too much of a punch into it." she said and he nodded. "They overdosed the pheromones, so you're drunk here, literally." he said and Leo nodded sternly.
"They dumped what into the potion, before someone O.D.'ed us on this crap?" she repeated and he nodded. "He's like the Faleen, the over dose is enough that though the man or woman tries to resist mentally, their body now belongs to said Faleen." he told her and she crossed her arms. "Darryl realized they drugged you, I reversed the polarity, before someone dumped the entire bottle in the potion, he's basically a magical gigolo, with the added pheromones of a Faleen."
"But just imagine if Vandalus pulled this, he drugged her, by staring into her eyes, this is real pheromones, I was teaching them the consequences of what could happen. And our demons took full advantage of them leaving everything in the open." he said and she nodded sternly. "So basically, now that the attack hit, said pheromones wear off and I'm thinking straight. And the mother in me towards you and Wyatt is back to full power." she said and Leo nodded sternly.
As she stroked the hair at the back of Chris's head gently and the duo watched in shock at the maternal connection between him and her and the protective father in Leo then. "Baby, you okay?" she asked and he sighed. "The blast knocked my crystal out of my pocket, it was the only way to give me enough energy, as I recovered in between doses of the potion. This issue with the pheromones couldn't have come at a worst time." he told her and they both nodded.
As she ran her hand through the hair at the back of his head greatly. 'Yeah the parent in us took total hold, one cub kidnapped, the other one still in recovery.' Leo thought as she said it for him then sternly as she shot Phoebe a warning look. "No kidding, if you were recovering from said marathon this is you ran 20 miles, swam 50 and climbed a mountain. Your body is battered and exhausted, this is the worst possible time here, and for this to happen right now in your case."
"Just where the hell is your common sense you two, you realize he suffers a relapse, you could put him in the damn hospital, he's my son!" she snapped and they swallowed hard shaking. "Oh Darryl is getting called in, but trust me when I say there will be charges served here. You crossed a line that there is no returning from." She said sternly and they went white. "Piper, we're sorry!" Phoebe said shaking, realizing her sister was about to sue her for child abuse.
"No you knew what you were doing is personal gain, but you do it anyway, and this put my son in the hospital the other gets kidnapped, there is no forgiveness. If you wanted to destroy your relationship with me, you just did it now Phoebe." she said sternly and she swallowed hard. "As you're only being the human manifestation, there's no consequences here right now. But the pheromones, that you might as well be dumping roofies in it." Piper said and they went white.
"Or worse, what if that's what the alien princess did to Jackson, enhancing it with the damn thing?" he said sternly and Chris nodded. "Yeah resisting as hard as he could, but they might have turned him into a drone, they had, that explains the escape attempt. And they had to head it off twice right now, because he goes back, there is no escape. This is the same damn thing, that crap only lasts 24 hours, and they created him last night." he said and Leo nodded then.
"Last night at this hour or at whatever time there was, the timer was only 24 hours, after it ends and there's going to be hell to pay, that's why you forced me into coming back. Because she belongs to me, still and always, she never needed a mister right, she has one already. That mister right is me, we're on the edge of getting our family back together right now. You're acting like our teenage son, so there it is, and this falls, once again, under the line of personal gain."
"Is that what this crap is, a very heavy magical dose of straight alcohol?" he asked and Chris nodded. "I'm seeing this for what it is, everything was fine between us for the last 6 to 7 weeks, but with your birthday, you decided no more blind dates. You were close to making your decision and you and dad were close to getting back together right now. And the demons threw a wrench in the works, properly provided by them creating David for you, and they left the equipment."
"Right here on the table, giving them everything they need to kidnap him and get rid of me now. Looks to me like someone dumped the entire bottle in there, and Darryl knows if you're throwing cautions to the winds, then someone clearly drugged you. If you're going to parlor tricks with the powers and a foodfight ensued here right now. But I know I didn't do it as I never left your side from the second they attacked twice." he said and Leo nodded as he said it sternly.
"Aside from my getting back here after she took Wyatt to the carnival, I was with you all morning and you with her from 1 to now, so no, it was never you, son." he said and Piper nodded in agreement as Leo rubbed the back his head and the duo swallowed hard. Now seeing a father with his 16, near 17 year old son now. "Do either of you want to explain yourselves in why the hell you left the ingredients out in the open where anyone could implant suggestions."
"Now, into David, but clearly they implanted a suggestion to come up here to do it right now, and you idiots are once again not exercising common sense, but twice in 3 years. What the hell is the matter with you exactly, I am so damn sick of this right now." she said with a warning tone at that. "We should have done it this morning, after whoever was impersonating Darryl attacked us in the bedroom, mom, dad." he said and his parents nodded sternly in agreement.
"Yeah I can see why now after this morning, but you never left me all day, you never left her, but the link is fused shut now. So I can sense you, like you can me, but it's because we're linked now, father to son, son to father, your mother can call you to her at the drop of a hat now." he said and she nodded smiling in agreement then and the duo both paled as she rubbed his back. And he leaned into her touch then and Phoebe swallowed hard at the reaction in shock then.
'Oh my god, they been together so long, they created a family in our absence.' they saw in her younger sister's eyes. "If your thoughts are headed in that direction, then yeah you two, in your not being here, we created a family of 4 right now. But we were fine, you made the choice to leave and we spread our legs further into the manor. But our relationship changed to family, like he's my son, or really is, you two." she said sternly and Phoebe swallowed hard then.
"And your point was just made, we bind his powers that protects him and we can live a semi normal life right now." Leo added and he nodded sternly. "Looks like their ro-test just worked, after the second attack in the bedroom, before they attacked a bit ago. Seems a little strange doesn't it that they never left, why were they in the attic, it's like they knew. I call you down here, and a fight ensues about binding his powers." he said and Leo and Piper nodded then.
"But how could they get the drop on us, unless…" he started to say and then froze up and turned to look at Phoebe in slowly growing anger. As he looked at the table, and the bottle on it's side. "That bottle was standing straight up after I reversed the polarity, and now it's laying on it's side, like whoever it was heard us and dropped the bottle on the table. As they went to stealth mode and waited for us to come in." he said and Phoebe started shaking at that news.
"But 18 months to bordering on 2 years old and Wyatt is 6 months old, I would say that baby Source, would be 21 months now, with Wyatt 6 months old. But it's matching the time-frame I'm considering, but Wyatt is the angel version of Baby Source Of All Evil. If this was the Brotherhood, they would plant a suggestion of getting Wyatt up here into the potion. Lay an ambush and then wait for me to call your name, you beamed in, and start debating here."
"In binding Wyatt's powers, and then spring the trap, nothing more simple then enhancing the pheromones and in Curry's words, if I was the guilty party, why would I reveal how I did it?" he asked and Leo nodded. "Good point, you wouldn't, that's just the point, so clearly not you at all as the potion packed too much of a punch, these pheromones are like drugs." Piper said and Leo crossed his arms sternly as he said what they were both thinking, in slowly growing anger then.
"You don't think…." Leo started to say in shock as Piper stood up at that and he nodded. "I do right now, I just got to find the right parameter slip here." he said and dunked his hand in the potion and dug through the potion to find the right one. "Oh mom, dad, you better read this one, these guys must have realized they left that potion out in the open." he said and Piper took it. "Get them to bring Wyatt upstairs, to do the binding." she read out and then froze.
"You want to explain this Phoebe, you did it again, it's the damn Animal to human spell, take 2, exactly 3 years later?" he said and she went white. "What?" Paige said in shock and Piper explained that. "Phoebe's college friends tape recoded the spell changes, but instead of bringing them the perfect man, they created men out of animals. The third was a pig, the snake killed him and trying to change them back, turned the club into a zoo." Leo explained and she nodded.
"If Prue was alive she'd kill both of you for this stunt, looks to me like Chris did this on behalf of the Elders, this was personal gain and here's the backfire." Piper added sternly and she swallowed hard at that. "And this is the body changing spell take 2, as well, looks to me like Chris decided to punctuate what you never bothered to take seriously. As he's your whitelighter now, but this is blinded by the whitelighter, or whichlighter." Leo said sternly and she swallowed.
"Two months pregnant, she'd be due in late August, early September, his current age right now, he would be a year old." Chris said and Piper nodded. "If not for the fact the little bastard was Freddy reincarnated, and we killed him along with his father and the real Source." she said sternly and he nodded. "Yeah exactly, so this makes plenty of sense, but the Brotherhood and the Order are rival gangs, serving the same Master." he said and she nodded sternly to him.
" Issues in our side of the family, babysitting my baby brother, this is getting ridiculous in cleaning up the messes she creates. Like the mother of Jenny's character said, you ask me to babysit, only if it won't interfere, with what I have in my schedule. To which I don't, I spend most of my time around you and dad anyway, so more family time. I'm not a normal teenager, but a teenager trapped in the past of 17 years." he said and his parents nodded in agreement.
"Yeah that's an understatement, to you family always came first, you're like your mother and me, family comes first, but take away your family, you're not being hold responsible here. For your actions as these guys pushed you too far right now, and that reaction says it all." Leo said gently as he clapped his hand on his shoulder as she said it in annoyance. "It's been 19 to 21 months, the little brat was do last September to October." he said for her and she nodded then.
"I thought we killed this bastard, that looks like someone put a spell on Phoebe, and said was a mind control spell, she got hexed!" Piper said sternly and Leo nodded in agreement. "Agreed right now, because I've been protecting Wyatt for months, I would never risk his safety. But the one night you deserved a break, your perfect day it once again gets ruined here. But in her words, I never set you up, she set me up to take the fall, only not so easy now, as to why."
"That's not my handwriting, that looks like her's, the her being Phoebe, it's been exactly 18 months, since the Seer. But if not the Brotherhood, our attackers are the next best thing, your title for her after she took off on you!" Chris said and she nodded. "Or she got jumped and brainwashed." Leo said sternly and Phoebe paled. 'Oh my god, they can't possibly think I would do this…., Cole, no, no that's not it I swear, I didn't do this!' she thought shaking at that theory.
"Baby?" Piper said and he nodded sternly. "Yeah, we walked right into an ambush, if she was smart, she would have dumped the potion in the toilet and flushed it. After I reversed the polarity, turning their creation on them, backfire of personal gain. You taught me never to abuse my powers, but once you break the small rules, sooner or later….." he said and she nodded. "Sooner or later the big ones get broken to, yeah you're right." she said and he nodded then.
"But the Brotherhood lost their leader, their second leader and said leader's heir what if she never renounced her crown?" Chris asked and Piper crossed her arms. "And said bodyguard did say that the Source would never give up, or that he would never have a whore as his queen. But seems interesting here everything on her mind, every problem in her life it's always Cole. But go ahead and admit it, young lady." Leo said sternly, crossing his arms and Piper nodded sternly.
"A family trio now, that things changed so quickly here right now it seems awfully weird to have the parents agree with the nascent witchlighter so to speak. Unless that witchlighter just happens to be their own son, so why would we take the words of the aunt. Over the words of our own baby, why, this is exactly what it was for Eli, after Mac's parents and the psychologist. Now had it in reverse, but Eli's father takes the word of his son over his own brother right now."
"If Wyatt could talk, he would say the same thing, you and he never did this just to get Phoebe in trouble, it was clearly a set up, one designed to get you out of the house and family." Leo said sternly and Piper nodded in agreement then. "Agreed, that's my opinion as well honey, Chris is my baby, either real or adopted, I don't care, I would take the word of my son. And over the words of my sister any day of the week." she said sternly and Phoebe went pale in fear at that.
"Yeah this is looking bad, really bad for you right now missy, what the hell were you thinking: leaving that potion out in the open, where even our enemies can implant qualifications into him. As aside from Darryl's doppelgänger, Chris hasn't left my side all day now, so why would he do this, just to get you in trouble with me. Chris never set you up, you set him up to take the fall, if they were looking at you like you're the queen mother." she said sternly and she went white.
"Don't even try to put the blame on me Phoebe, you and Paige left everything lying out in the open, instead of just tossing out the potion, you left it just sitting there. Waiting for someone else besides me to take full advantage of it, but I reversed the polarity. Because mom already has a Mr. Right, that Mr. Right is dad, I was that close, that close. And to getting them back together, it's the animal to human fiasco." Chris said sternly and Piper nodded in agreement.
"Here we go again, and with us drunk, we lose total control of our faculties and a foodfight ensues, before the damn attack and Chris nearly suffers a relapse. And then suffers a flashback to losing his best friend, before we snap him out of it." she said in anger and as Phoebe stood there rooted in place as she realized how bad this looked in the eyes of her sister and brother-in-law. "Talk about your personal gain consequences." Chris said sternly and Leo finished it then.
"You're a telepath Phoebe, in addition to an empath, did you know they were in here?" Leo said in shocked disbelief then at the realization. "Did you know they were in here Phoebe, did you?!" Chris said and she paled, realizing the implication. "This is why I wanted his powers bound, thanks to you he's been kidnapped." he snapped at her, shaking then. "They been here all this time, this was an ambush, dad, mom!" he said and they nodded in shocked anger then at that.
"They were after Wyatt, that wand, that rod thing he aimed at his eyes, reverses the polarity, now he sees good as evil, evil is good, nice work, you just turned him into a demon!" he snapped at Phoebe then and she started shaking in fear then, realizing his implications. They were about to get her crucified by her sisters and Leo then. "Just where the hell is your brain exactly, a simple summoning of the book downstairs would have sufficed here to prevent this."
"What the hell were you thinking, we could have done this downstairs, and before they got the drop on us, a simple orbing the book downstairs would have been better. Instead of walking right into an ambush, nice work, this is not my fault!" he said and the duo both paled, realizing he was right and praying Piper and Leo never realized it then, Phoebe prayed she could switch it. Knowing she didn't get him out of the house, and she was being crucified by her sister then.
"And now here's another fine mess you gotten yourselves into, and I got to reverse, but first I need a recharge, before I undo your latest mistake right now. Or didn't you remember, since you moved out, mom invited me to stay with her, as my strength came back, Bianca. But in her and dad's eyes, this causes a relapse you're the ones getting crucified for this right now. I'm on the median, just one more injury will cause my system to crash." he snapped and Leo ended it then.
"And now the parental titles became more frequent, to downright permanent here, that's not a coincidence here now in all truth, either we had an arrival from the past. Or you decided to finally drop the act and started acting like a cub to his parents, I don't know. But if the truth is about to come out tonight, maybe now, before they try to get you in trouble here. But if you're really my son, then all questions get answered tonight, before we go get your brother, now."
"As for that near head injury and your body is still recovering from the power drain, you need to take it easy son, don't over do it." Leo said and he nodded as he tried standing up, but the dizzy spell from the over exertion made him stumble as Leo grabbed him. "Whoa, easy, easy, easy, your strength is still coming back, but the adrenaline surge just quit, take it slow. What could you compare the removal/return to exactly in your powers?" he said and Chris nodded gently.
"Not a problem right now, as to why right now, but round robin catch here, after my counterpart, that's 21 year old counterpart, I'm, currently. Only 16 as of right now, if I was born in 1987, but with my power coin stolen, before getting it back, so to speak, I need a recharge. But my crystal was a protection crystal, you left the potion to create it after Paige was captured by Vandalus, my crystal was blasted out of my pocket." he said and she nodded to him gently.
"Aw crap, it going coal black meant that evil was close by." she said in shock and he nodded gently to her. "My crystal was emerald green, I created one for Wyatt, his is the size of his foam basketball, it being sapphire, to protect him, and my twin had one in ruby red. If mine went jet black, it means they never left at all, and we walked right into an ambush." he said and they nodded as she checked the playpen. "It's black alright." she said and he explained it gently then.
"The crystal was meant to enhance my ability, matching me to Wyatt as a young adult, no older then Patrick when he played Darry. But getting my powers reconnected to my body again, or better a far stronger enhancement of those same powers. To put this gently, I'm Jason after he returned to the team as the green leading into second tour of duty. My powers are a little weak from the draining, but I'm running off adrenaline after that attack." he said and they nodded.
"Damn it, this is too much right now, your body took a beating 6 weeks ago, and now this after the damn blob monster, you didn't need this right now. You look like Jason did after they drained his powers, before the color switch." she said as she and Leo pulled him up and he sat on the edge of the sofa that was in the attic then. "You two, do not say anything, his body is spent, if he was Jason, the power coin was blasted out of his pocket." Leo said with a warning tone then.
"I transfigured it into one, with his original symbol on the dagger, that's his symbol on the power coin, the dragon foot." he said and they both nodded as they looked for said gold coin. "You guys love the power rangers, let me take a wild guess your sister loves Amy?" Leo said and he nodded. "She, my twin and I are red to borderline first degree blackbelts, she's also a gymnast, does everything." he said and they nodded as she checked under the tables then gently then.
As she looked around and saw it lying next to the china hutch. "There it is." she said and grabbed it and picked it up, before feeling a massive power surge shoot through her. "Whoa, what was that exactly?!" she said and he put it back in his pocket. "Focusing and strength enhancement, it's like the power coins, get said power coin back. And the adrenaline surge is so strong, it's like combining the Zeo crystal with the powers coins here now, it's like the Turbo."
"Dad, the recharge medication potion to recover from a phoenix draining your powers is in the book, that's the only way I got enough energy after we get him back. But this is like Amy over doing it after 5 battles in one day, before she collapsed off the beam." he said and she and Leo nodded. "I'll deal with that, but in the mean time save your strength here, because you're lucky I got between you and the table, after they knocked me away from Wyatt, before you tried."
"Son, you're still recovering, from the power drain and return, don't push it here, or you'll relapse right now, calm down." Leo said quickly and he nodded as he buried his head into his shoulder, shaking in exhaustion and they nodded as Leo ran his hand through his hair. Watching in utter shock at the way their brother-in-law was acting with Chris, they got a second shock. As Piper pulled him into her as he was shaking in exhaustion and anger at what they caused then.
"Phoebe, shut up, don't say it right now, because this is not his fault, as the backfire was not him, it was you. He shouldn't even be exerting himself, this is your fault, David is the cause, Wyatt and this group are the effect. But I swear to god, if after getting Wyatt back, Chris relapses it's your head and your having your powers bound. And till further notice here now and I mean it!" Leo snapped sternly to her and she jerked at the utter fury in his voice at her then.
"I told him there was the likely possibility that the backfire could switch around and do you, you knew better then to abuse your powers and still do it. He knew, like I do, this was a mistake, you ever consider she never needed a Mister Right, she has one already. Leo being the said right now, what is this, distract her until we get attacked so you can set me up to take the fall?" Chris said and they paled in shock at the implication and Leo's eyes narrowed in fury at that remark.
"We could have done this downstairs and instead we walk up here to get the book, we walked right into an ambush, like she knew they were here right now." Chris said to Piper and Leo and they nodded then. "Yes and I agree with you, we could have orbed the book downstairs, at least then, what just happened never would have revealed. Now, that you're clearly still suffering flashbacks after losing us, if we were your family in the future and with those words in mind."
"That better not be true or so help me god, you two.…" Piper said feeling her own anger growing by the minute then and they started shaking in fear, realizing they just pissed off their sister and her husband then. "You're never around, and Chris is there helping me when I need him, he incorporated himself into the household. So what is this, you're so sick of him being here, you try to wreck his relationship with me and Leo to get him out?" she asked and they swallowed.
"But did the catch of you three winding up in different realities expressing your single wants not make a point and now a case of personal gain, now results in Wyatt being kidnapped?" he asked Phoebe sternly and they both paled at that. "Nice memory baby and you're absolutely right, the polarity was just switched, he expressed my wishes for a semi normal life. And you then do a case of a switcheroo by turning their creation on them." Piper said and Leo nodded sternly then.
"They left the door unlocked, the key left out in the open, well I took the key, so look at the table." he said and she and Leo looked at the bowl and the bottle and nodded. "Uh huh, yeah you left the opening for the brew to be switched, the pheromones left out in the open. Personal gain consequences, again, but you left Chris the opening, possibly the order leader with him. And he takes full advantage of it, your reckless behavior right now, to teach you guys a lesson."
"And he turns your creation back on you guys, so basically you're responsible for Wyatt getting kidnapped and turned evil, but that's not Chris's fault. It's your's right now, as you left the opening, he took full advantage of it, right now. When will you guys learn, something like there always has a drawback." he said sternly and Phoebe swallowed hard at that remark. "I remember when I doubled the recipe for Doug's confidence boot right now in truth here."
"But your aunts gave me an earful after they heard the explosion in here right now, but then I'm not the one making it so easy mortals have everything they need. Or worse the demons in putting a spell on us, and you said your father said not to manipulate us. And instead, you became the physical manifestation of personal gain." she said gently and he nodded. "Does this remind you of anything mom, after the last time you had this problem in all truth right now."
"Say directly after the fever?" he asked her and she crossed her arms sternly. "Name of that episode was Animal Pragmatism, and while I'm up at the club now. Managing things there, your father is at the bar and cash register right now, and till I get the news. By your aunts friends, they rewrote the spell after tape recording it." she said sternly and he nodded. "So that's what just happened, you guys created a sex toy for me, and left the equipment to do it."
"Out in the open, where, if Wyatt was a teenager, he could manipulate you into doing anything he wanted, and instead Chris reverses the polarity on you. And did this ever occur to you, that instead of orbing the book downstairs, these demons. Said that just kidnapped him right now, implanted the idea of coming up here and wrote your name on it. Just like when you guys switched bodies you just did it again, like the blasted spell your friends at school pulled here."
"After they tape recorded the changes and created men out of animals right now." she said and then let rip with a reprimand, Phoebe hadn't heard in years since Prue died. "You just did it again Phoebe, you left the equipment out in the open, left the pheromones out. And you gave Chris the opportunity to take full advantage, and instead of doing what your friends did. He reversed the polarity and turn your creation back on you, damn it already, alright that's it!"
"Do you two ever learn, trying to help me now, it just makes things worse right now, in my eyes and Leo's now, Leo and I can take care of our family. Chris is part of my family now and he turns in what you just did to me and his father, that you're in deep trouble tight now for this, again." Piper said sternly and Chris completed the sentence. "And only I'm around her, so often here right now I can get in her head, but her now or 14 years into the future, I know her so well."
"That I can get in her to know what she wanted, what she wants, said is for you to mind your own business, and stay out of her love life right now. And instead you put a spell on her, creating her supposed dream guy and I reversed it. To the same thing on you and then the added touch, you left the bottle open, you might as well be passing me a loaded handgun. This crap is so strong, it's like opium and takes hours to wear off." he said and she paled at that.
"Something's changing here, it's like you're my son, my real son, and after Cole knocked both you and Leo unconscious, the mother in me took total control. I didn't want that bastard anywhere near you again, and though looking 18, I see you as no older then Tyler still." she said and he nodded gently. "At least that wasn't Cole's regiment knocking you away from Wyatt, otherwise the blast could be what caused a relapse." Leo said and she and Chris nodded sternly.
"No kidding, but again, it's like she knew they were here, her empath powers, she sensed them and kept her mouth shut, waiting till you and mom were debating this. Before they got the drop on us, this was a trap to kidnap and convert Wyatt, she was the plant." he said and Phoebe jerked at that remark in shock, and Leo grabbed her arm. "Did you know they were up here?" Piper said in shock to her and she paled and they nodded in shocked fury at that remark then.
"You knew, you knew and didn't say anything, till they reversed the polarity, frame job, I don't believe you, just because you're sick of his being our new whitelighter, you do this. Just to get rid of him, why don't I get rid of you right now, you selfish bitch!" she snapped at her and she swallowed as Leo looked at her angrily. "I totally agree with Piper, but seems to me the us in being parents snapped into place for him, and far sooner then you wanted right now, you two."
"I guess to you Wyatt was enough, you never wanted a second nephew in your sister's family, my family, that you feel this gives you the right to treat my possible unborn son like crap." he said with a warning growl and they both paled, realizing the implication as he went further as he looked at Phoebe. "Phoebe, so help me god, you even touch my son, you're marginalized in the house starting now, so back off right now!" he growled at her and Chris said it firmly then.
"The pheromones got reversed, the polarity, but said Mr. Right created, the idea backfired, he's a manifestation of her inner desires, it's not you, Piper. Now, that wants me gone, it's Phoebe, she is so sick of every time she tries to come back. With her on the other side of the planet, though Paige is closer in range and come and go as she pleases. That every time she tries to get some sisterly bonding time with you..." he started to say and she completed the sentence then.
"Like I would have said after the big boob fiasco, you misused magic to create a sex toy for me, and the spell backfired into the very same thing for you." she said sternly and Paige swallowed hard, realizing she hadn't learned from that experience at all. "Dave is physical manifestation of your inner desires here, one is that you wish Chris wasn't always here. And the other is that you wished we were closer, and those thoughts are your's Phoebe, your thoughts here now."
"In his voice, Chris immediately reacted like the big brother trying to get his baby brother back and then tells me what I'm looking at, but how can I trust your words over his." she said sternly looking between them, feeling her anger growing by the minute. "Like Chris would tell me, it's no surprise he's speaking your inner desires, he's a mixture of me, Leo and Prue now. But every time Phoebe tries to get some sister time with me, I turn her down, but why, why is it now."
"I turn her down, it's because I want to spend some mother/son time with Chris and Wyatt, the link is complete, like I said after Bianca took him back. I wanted answers and I get the one I never expect, Chris is my unborn son, my baby, my youngest infant son. So now that I know, I decide to get you guys out of the house, Leo moves back in and we're a family of 4 now." she said sternly and they swallowed hard at that, realizing she'd gone mother bear on them now.
"You don't get it, Phoebe, you never got it, why the hell am I here, why am I risking my own existence, to be here, why was my reaction so violent, before dad grabbed me?" he asked and she went pale at that. "He's my brother, I save him, I save my parents, I save the future, and the only way to do that is by finding the good/bad duo and destroying them. Killing 'his' regiment and binding Wyatt's powers till he's 10." he said and she swallowed hard at that news.
"Just why are you always on my case why, I'm trying to save my family, Wyatt became Vader, mom and dad are dead. Paige is dead, you're dead, your families are dead. Darryl, Sheila, grandpa, I have nothing left to go back to, Bianca is dead. You forget that part on purpose you pompous…." he screamed at her and she went white, realizing he had enough with her attitude. "I just want my family back, that's all I want, I'm trying to save the world, you idiot, god!"
"In your words, the only reason I'm here is to make sure that what happens then doesn't now, I lost Prue to evil, before losing my parents, the Mitchells and your family. Let alone Grandpa and the Morris's, does that constitute a reason to treat me like crap?" he growled and she swallowed. "I love mom, she's the world to me, though she was irritated, she started warming up to me, after a while our relationship turned to a brother/son connection, dad, he starts calling me that."
"You notice that the words are now frequent, mom, dad, I'm calling them by the real title, Wyatt is now calling me by name, only this is the baby cub version to that name. His first word is me, he loves me like a big brother, so why, really tell me now, why are you getting on my case. I'm their son, it's not your business, they're the ones raising us, we're not your children." he said and she flinched at the remark as Piper crossed her arms sternly at the reprimand then.
"I must admit that he's making a lot of sense to me, and he's right, he and Wyatt are my children, mine, not your's so don't you dare tell me how to raise my kids. Or is this payback right now, for Paige, Prue and me getting on your case, before and after your's was conceived?" Piper asked sternly and she paled at that remark. "Phoebe, where raising the boys is concerned, that's up to their father and me, Grams gave us tips we do the work." she added sternly to her.
"I'm their son, what happened directly after you brought him home was he went off stage 1 and went to stage 2, but let me ask you something, you think the fight in the living room. Said could get anymore heated as I saw my father looking 18 years younger then I know him to be. They're 31, my them is 48 years old, I was 17 when the bastards killed dad, mom is dead. Rain dropped in, I meant, until I'm ready to face my pain!" he said and she swallowed hard at that.
"In his words, being trapped behind enemy lines fighting for my life has turned me into this, I changed from the 14 year old my mother knows me into this. Repeated going ins, into the underworld dealing with 'his' regiment has changed me, a lot." he said and she backed up at the remark. "Him, he, can you take a guess, there is only only one man, one demon, you dragged into our lives, that turned me into further properly paranoid." he said and she went white then.
"Like dad said, being trapped on Valhalla for 5 weeks, fighting for his life, has changed him alot, bringing out the side of him that's going to destroy said elder for killing my adult double. And nearly killing Wyatt, that's why I did it, to me now, this was so my reaction doesn't come out. And too soon, do you know what it's like to lose the man who raised you, trained you all your life, but now it's a case now, any psychiatrist sees coming." he said and Leo crossed his arms.
"Dad's anger, was because he didn't recognize me, because he was grieving at the lost of 10 members of the elders, including Kevin. Though their supporters were alive, Danny's like a little brother to him, but first Nattie and now Kevin." he said and Leo looked down, knowing he was right. "Trying to bury the pain doesn't help, we need to feel it, it's supposed to hurt, but until we were ready, we had to separate, what business is it of your's." he said and she swallowed hard.
"Point made and I hear you, baby." Paige said sternly and Phoebe went pale at that. "You're like me Paige, you're my equal, we share a bond, your parents one of each, me same thing. But you know that you have to leave the decision of child rearing to mom and dad. So why is she on my case, it's my job to protect Wyatt, I'm currently his big brother." he said and she nodded. "It's the sin balls, Prue's remark, only it's the reverse for Phoebe." Piper said sternly and she nodded.
"Is that what's going on, Prue decided with you married, and her with Cole to give you some space, and yet Phoebe doesn't want to feel useless and keeps butting in?" she said and Chris nodded. "Yeah that's the other reason I got you the potion, keep her out of your heads, I was coming to report in, before dad busted me right now. And told him the truth, I was getting it created for you." He said and she nodded as Phoebe paled as Leo crossed his arms then sternly.
"We keep this up and when we get attacked by the next emotional pain demon, Chris is next!" she snapped and Leo nodded in fury at that. "Losing both parents, dad, the Morris's, you guys and your families, and once in said confrontation it's not, I repeat. Not, 'you don't know me', but 'you promised never to leave me, you promised, dad come back.'." Leo said sharply, realizing it. "Yeah now I'm furious right now, he hated me for leaving him." he said sternly and she paled.
"If you just vanquished him when you had the chance our family would never have been destroyed, I hated your husband ever since. He killed my parents, he's the reason Wyatt turned on us, and now I'm an orphan, it's you, it's always been you!" he snapped at her and she swallowed hard at that remark. "You took off on me, to go after him, I blamed you and Cole, now he blames you, because we're all dead, and he's an orphan!" Piper snapped at her then.
"That's it, you just read it all, I don't want to talk, it hurts to talk, it hurts to breathe, so unless this is about finding the bastard demon that helped destroy my brother, leave me alone." he said and they both nodded as Leo ran his hand through his hair. "The pain's still there baby, you're starting to heal, but the pain's still there." she said and he nodded. "Yeah mom, being with you at this age is helping, the last 6 weeks even more, not there yet." he said and then said it then.
"I needed time now, you come back too soon, and you get the fight you don't want between us." he said, shaking, as he sat on the corner of the couch and Leo nodded. "That's why you sent me to Valhalla, before you did Anakin's reaction and we really went at it in the cage, buddy?" he said and he nodded. "I get you were angry at being thrown there, but what if I hadn't done that now, you guys were on the edge of divorce dad, if that happened no me now in truth here."
"For 7 years, since I was 10, you always been there we were like Qui-Gon and Obi-wan, when he was still a cub teenager, that the pain and anger at losing you never stops. After going with your plan, Prue knew this could be my one chance, I get the years with mom I lost. I get you back and I can heal this way, being back with you was healing the pain, but my you. He's gone as is mom, aside from Eric and Mellie, I have nothing to return to." he said and they nodded gently.
"I was happy, for the first time in weeks since she left, in total truth, just being a family quartet, life back to normal, all peace, so sure the occasional vanquish, no big deal. So long as we were together, we could be a normal family again, like it was if I was born first now. You, me, dad and Wyatt, normal family life, you knew at times I hate being a hybrid, because of said danger." he said and his parents nodded. "Yeah we get it son, it's okay." Leo said and Piper nodded gently.
"Most of the family is a half breed now, our family and the Mitchells, but that's the only bad side, we're more vulnerable being half whitelighter, the athame was covered in poison." he said and Leo pulled him into a hug and he closed his eyes tightly as he hugged him then. "You're adult self was killed by the dagger meant for your brother?" he said and Chris nodded. " Yeah I'm baby me, not big me, I'm currently 15 years old in truth, she's too old for me, but truthfully."
"I was going to tell you this tomorrow, but the fact she forced my hand, I'm doing it tonight." he said and they nodded smiling. "But if you knew who your youngest was going to grow up to become now, would you take this truth and let it go. We start over and things change for the better, mom?" he asked and she nodded. " Once you told me everything yourself, and months prior to your conception date then yes." she said and he smiled in relief at that news then.
