Hey it's Sunshinefics, Welcome back to the Worst Birthday Ever. So I'm currently in the play Les Miserables(I play Joly) and rehearsals are getting more frequent add that to another play, Frozen (I'm Elsa which tbh is not my fave role I mean don't get me wrong I'm thrilled to be a lead but... oops I'm stalling) and well there's not much time. I'll try to update as soon as possible though. The good news is I'm homeschooled but next year I'm starting Highschool and going to public school so my life will be a heck a lot busier. Also as usual I will not be using God's name in vain
Disclaimer: Still don't own Charmed if I did I'd be making episodes not writing fanfic in my pajamas at like 12 in the afternoon
Well with my boring life story out of the way onto the story
Leo held his crying wife in his arms after a while she started to speak
"This is a nightmare right it's not real" The poor mother tried to convince herself
"Piper go wake up Wyatt and call your sister's and father" Leo said sadly
When Piper went downstairs Leo went over to his son and stroked his hair gently, Leo had tears down his face, he reached over and gave his son a kiss on his forehead
Piper walked into her eldest's room
"Wyatt honey wake up"
At first Wyatt was not happy at being woken up at such an hour but one look at his mom's face and he knew something was wrong
"Mom what's wrong" he asked frantically
"It's Chris your dad thinks he won't-" Piper choked
Wyatt nodded and ran as fast as he could
Piper pulled out her phone with trembling hands and dialed in Victor Bennett's number
"Hello?" a voice barked obviously not happy to be woken up in the middle of the night
"Hi Daddy" Piper said struggling to hold back tears
Victor caught this and immediately began to worry. "Did something happen to Pheobe or Paige" he asked urgently
"N-no daddy it's Chris" Piper managed
"Chris? what happened"
"He was stabbed by a demon and i-it's bad"
"I'm on my way" and with a click he hung up
Piper sighed and went to call Pheobe and Paige
About 2 hours later the adult Halliwells, Victor and Prue, Peyton and Pamela( the other kids were too young and staying with friends of the Halliwells) were huddled around their family member.
Piper and Leo were holding Chris's hand, Peyton and Prue were sitting together crying, Victor was struggling to hold back tears, Pamela was staring at her cousin, Pheobe was crying into Coops arms, Coop silently let his tears slide and Paige was sobbing into Henry's shirt and Henry just stared off into space
"your not my father you don't know me" Chris mumbled
Leo looked at his son remembering the time when future Chris came to save Wyatt, and he had revealed that Leo was never there for me
meanwhile Chris was having another nightmare...
Chris was in a dark cave , he was overcome by anger he was repeatedly punching his father,
"YOU DON'T KNOW ME YOUR NOT MY FATHER" He had screamed almost immediately after that another dream started this wasn't scary just a little sad and a lot of it was happy even , it was his 12th birthday. Almost everyone he loved was there, his friends, his aunts and uncles, his cousin, his brother, his mom even his grandfather, but there was one empty chair, one chair that he kept looking at, his father's chair
"Hey peanut your dad told me to give you this" his mom said earlier that morning, holding out a letter
"Dear Chris, Happy Birthday! I know I promised to be there but I can't make it again due to Whitelighter duties I'll try to make it next year
From Dad"
"I'm sorry Peanut" she said holding out her arms
Chris had been thinking about this and Pheobe noticed
"You okay Chris?" Pheobe asked her hands resting on her pregnant belly
"How is it that dad almost never misses mom or Wyatt's birthday and even if he does he makes up for it, but with me he misses every single one, and he never makes it up too me it's just not fair" Chris complained
"Your right Chris it's not fair and he never makes up for it but, your dad loves you and he may not always be there for you physically but he's always in your heart and you know what I did when I missed my dad?" Pheobe said
"What?" Chris asked eagerly
"I'd look at the sun"
"Why?" Chris asked puzzled
"because no matter where you are in the world everyone looks at the same sun and it would make it seem that he's closer" Pheobe said drawing him in for a hug
Chris smiled no matter how upset he was his Aunt Pheobe always made him feel better
Piper walked in seeing her sister and her son hugging she saw her sons upset face and asked "What's wrong Chris?" Piper asked
Chris didn't want his mom to know how upset he was about his dad and Pheobe knew that
"He's just upset because he didn't win the school art show because the art teacher's son won" Pheobe said
Chris shot his aunt a grateful look
"Oh I just hate it when that happeneds I remember this one time we were doing The Wizard of Oz for the school musical and I wanted the part of dorothy so bad and I should've got that role but I got Glinda the Good Witch and they gave Dorothy to some girl who had no talent " Piper remembered
"Um Piper that girl was me and I got a standing ovation and a scholarship to theater camp for that" Pheobe said
"And you did amazing" Piper said trying to save herself
"Hey you got a good role poor Prue ended up being a flying monkey" Pheobe said
"Yeah she had one line and she forgot it and burst into tears on stage" Piper laughed
"her talent was not singing or acting but she was incredible at math" Pheobe said
"Um mom can we have cake now" Wyatt asked
Piper was about to answer when Pheobe gasped in pain her hands clutching her stomach
"Pheobe what's wrong?"Piper fretted
"Baby somethings wrong" she said gritting her teeth
Coop scooped his wife up in his arms and rushed her to the car. The 2 year old Melinda started to cry at her mother's departure
After a while the entire Halliwell family orbed to the hospital and met Coop who apparently wasn't allowed in with Pheobe
The nervous husband was pacing back and forth and after what seemed like hours a doctor came in
"Pheobe Halliwell" he said looking surprised when half the maternoty waiting room stood up
"Yes" Coop said wringing his hands
"Unfortunately Pheobe had some extreme internal bleeding and we had to do an emergency C-section"
Piper frightfully asked "is she okay?"
"Well thats comlicated Miss uh"
"Halliwell" She answered
"Miss Halliwell" he continued "she is very weak and emotionally distraught as she should be"
"Wair why is she emotionally distraught" Paige asked not sure if she wanted to know the answer
"The baby didn't make it"
"Sh-she didn't make it? WHAT DO YOU MEAN SHE DIDN'T MAKE IT?" Coop yelled
"She was unresponsive and we attempted CPR but it didn't work" The Doctor sadly explained
"Can we see her?" Paige asked
"Only immediate family such as siblings, spouses and children over the age of 10"
"Great lead the way" Piper said
"Wait surely you arent all immediate family?" He said in disbelief
"Well only 7 of us are eligible everyone else is under 10 years" Piper said
"I can't allow all 7 of you she's very weak" The doctor said shaking his head
"Okay how about Henry, Wyatt and Chris stay" Piper suggested
Paige shook her head and whispered to Piper not wanting to hurt Wyatt's feeling"She'd want Chris there they have a special relationship"
Piper nodded "never mind Chris you can come"
They walked in the room and saw Pheobe her eyes were red and puffy
"Did you have a name mom?" Prue asked
"She was going to be EmmaMaria, Hannah, Halliwell" Pheobe whispered
"Aunt Pheobe?" Chris said
"Yeah honey"
"I'm sorry this is my fault"
Pheobe's eyes clouded with tears "No sweetie it wasn't your fault"
"Yes it was it was my fault dad wasn't there he was avoiding me, if he'd been there he could've healed you"
"Christopher Perry Halliwell don't you DARE think this was your fault" Piper said harshly
"Leo can't heal natural causes" Coop said
"Here you go mom" The nurse said handing the baby to PheobePheobe looked at her daughter hoping to see any sign of life at all, but she saw nothingPheobe glanced at her sister "I'm sorry Piper I know how you feel"
Piper looked at Pheobe "I know you do" Remembering EmmaMaria "I just never thought- that I'd feel this way"
Chris's breathing became more strained, Leo felt the pulse weakening in his son's hand
Leo didn't want to believe it but he knew that it was time
"It's okay son you can go" Leo managed before he succumbed to the tears.
Chris left out a long painful breath and his hand went slack
"NO!" Wyatt yelled running over to his brother shaking him "CHRIS WAKE UP please" He sobbed
Pheobe broke down, Paige weeped harder, Piper wailed
Chris woke up in a brightly lit placd
"Welcome Chris" a familiar women with black hair and green eyes said"Aunt Prue?" Chris asked puzzled"That's me"'"A-Am I dead?""Unfortunately yes " Prue said sadlyChris shook his head in disbelief "b-but m-my parents my family""They'll take care of each other it's what family does, now come on there are people who want to see you"Piper ran to the bathroom and threw up, it's hard and painful to throw up while crying but the pain was nothing compared to the hole in her heart. Pheobe walked in and enfolded her into a comforting hug and they wept together. After 5 minutes Piper pulled away and ran to the attic
"What are you doing?"Leo asked curiously
"I'm looking for a way to bring Chris back"
"Piper" Leo sighed
"NO LEO I'M NOT LOSING MY BABY THERE HAS TO BE A WAY, A SPELL OR A POTION OR SOMETHING I CAN'T GO THROUGH THE PAIN OF LOSING SOMEONE I LOVE AGAIN, I WON'T SURVIVE I BARELY SURVIVED PRUE HOW CAN I SURVIVE LOSING MY BABY, MY BABY LEO" Piper yelled
"I know Piper, but there's nothing there's no way to bring him back, I failed him, darn it I made a promise to keep my kids safe and I broke it, you think you're the only one upset? look around Piper, Everyone in this family loved Chris" Leo fought
"I'M NOT BURYING MY SON I BURIED MY MOTHER I BURIED MY GRANDMOTHER I BURIED MY SISTER" Piper raised her voice
"Piper please" Leo said trying to calm her down
"NO I WILL NOT CALM DOWN YOUR SON JUST DIED AND YOUR NOT EVEN CRYING" Piper was screaming now
"I get it, your trying to be strong Leo but it just makes things worse, when I lost EmmaMarie I tried to keep myself together for Pheobe's sake but I just made her feel alone, let it out Leo" Coop said trying to help
Leo started to cry and a few minutes later he sank to his knees
"I'M HIS FATHER I SHOULD HAVE TRIED HARDER I PUT MY DOCTOR SKILLS BEFORE MY FATHER SKILLS I'M A FAILURE" Leo sobbed
"We both failed" Piper whisperr breaking down again
"Mom" Wyatt's voice piped up "We have to find a way to get Chris back
