Hey guys I'm back! I'm so very sorry I haven't been updating lately! School started up again and I've been busy with homework. So please don't blame me! Blame the awful monsters that call themselves teachers! Anyways let's get the boring crap out of the way so we can start with the fun!

Disclaimer: you reeeaaallllyyy think that I own charmed? Well I don't. I. I did Chris would be living happily in the future instead of killed by that bastard Gideon.

XXXXXXXXXX

Chris then turns to his mother and says,"Seriously though Mom, I wasn't calling you stupid or dumb, I was merely saying that the spell coulda been a little better written... Aunt Phoebe."

"What?! Don't tell me you guys still 'Phoebe' me in the future?!" Phoebe complains. With a stern look from her 2007 sisters and grown-up nephews she relented and said,"Fine, Fine it may have been my spell, but you can blame Wyatt for dropping the 'Uncle Coop' bomb on me!"

"Your right it was Wyatt's fault," Chris agrees. He then smacks Wyatt upside the head and says,"Good going Moron!"

"Oh, you wanna start on nicknames, Peanut?" Wyatt asks his brother playfully.

"Boys! Boys! Stop bickering and come give your dear old mom a hug!" Piper exclaimed as she held her arms out. The boys fell into her embrace. "Oh, I haven't seen you two in forever!"

As they held on to one another, the past people shared looks with each other until finally P. Piper spoke up,"Umm, excuse me? But we are very confused... Who are they?"

Chris and Wyatt broke the hug with their mom and Chris said,"Well Mom, I am him." While pointing at little baby, Chris."Just about twenty years later."

Wyatt stepped up and with a little mock bow said,"Wyatt Matthew Halliwell, at your service."

P. Piper's jaw just dropped at the revelation. As did all of the other past people. After the shock settled in P. Piper brought both Wyatt and Chris into a warm hug. All of 2001's natives followed save for Cole who felt very uncomfortable about all of this.

"Phoebe, I really should be checking out a tip about when the source is planning to attack. I'll talk to you later tonight. I love you." He says. P. Phoebe began to object his departure, but Cole abruptly shimmered out.

"Okay well, let's get down to business we need to get home. Any ideas?" F. Piper asked hopefully.

"Well we practically have three versions of the Power of Three here so... We should be able to come up with something." Wyatt surmises.

"Wait what do you mean three? I get there being two versions with my Phoebe, Piper, and I and then Paige and her Pheebs, and Piper. What's the other one?" Prue, always being the observant one, asked.

Piper looked to her sons to see Wyatt with an eager look on his face, obviously anxious to give his oldest Aunt a lesson in magic. While Chris looked obviously peeved at the distraction from finding his way home. Piper felt tears prick behind her eyes.

Just like him... Piperthought, reminded of the Chris that came back to save Wyatt. The Chris that she grew to love with all of heart. The Chris that was taken from her so abruptly. I couldn't even say goodbye... Piper fought with all of her might to hold her tears in. She didn't want to start a scene and raise questions. If she had a say in it none of her babies would ever have to deal with the pain of that dark world. She was just about to regain full composure Chris spoke up,"C'mon people we need to focus! You can't know about that! There are future consequences ya know!"

When Piper heard this she couldn't handle it anymore and burst into the tears she couldn't let go in the months after her son's death. She had to stay strong for her new baby, Wyatt, Leo and her sisters. Sure, some nights she would wait until she heard Leo's deep breathing that indicated he was asleep and then let some silent tears drop down her cheek and onto her duvet. And some afternoons she would slip into Chris and Wyatt's room while Wyatt was at pre school and Chris was napping. She would hold his tiny hand and reminisce about adult Chris's last words to her,"I love you so much mom".

But now, seeing him here and hearing those two words, she couldn't hold in her emotions any more. Leo immediately tried to jump to her aid but was held back by Prue, who whispered to him,"This isn't our Piper, Leo. We can't help her. They need to." Leo nodded shortly and encircled P. Piper's

waist with his arm.

Slowly her sobs died down and Chris looked conflicted at first, but then hesitantly stepped toward his mother and aunts who, realizing why she was crying, had wrapped her up in a big bear hug.

"Hey mom? Umm, can I talk to you somewhere else?" He asked gently. She looked up to him and not trusting her voice, nodded. Knowing that this was a mother and son talk, Phoebe and Paige both gave Piper one last final squeeze of reassurance and left her to Chris. Chris shot his aunts a quick smile and laid his hand on his mother's shoulder, but she quickly pulled him into a bone-crushing hug that he happily returned and then orbed them into another room.

After a few moments of awkward silence, Wyatt spoke up and said, "I think the only other time I've seen mom cry is on Chris's twenty third birthday, and I have no idea what that's was about."

"Yeah she's always so strong... It's weird to see her like this. But she has been holding this in for about three years." Paige surmises.

"Wait... So you know what it was about?" Prue asks her future sisters. They both nod sadly.

"Well?" Wyatt pushed. F. Phoebe and Paige share a look and then Phoebe answers,"It's not up to us Wyatt. It's up to your mother."

IN THE CONSERVATORY A FEW MINUTES EARLIER

Bright lights filled the room and a once again sobbing Piper and teary-eyed Chris emerged from them. For a while Chris just held Piper while her sobs die down. Once she wasn't crying so heavily anymore, she pulled back a little and gave Chris a quick peck on the cheek. She then stepped back and wiped a few stray tears off of her face even though more just replaced them.

In a real shaky voice she said,"I'm sorry you just sounded a lot like..." She stopped talking before she broke into a new set of sobs.

Chris rubbed her back and said, "Mom, you don't need to apologize. I completely get it. You're always so strong and brave. But even the bravest people need their moment of weakness. I should know."

"Where did you hear that? It's nice." Said Piper with a small grin.

"From you. It really helped me when I returned." Reveals Chris.

"Returned from where, Peanut?" Asks Piper curiously, and still with a slight sniffle.

Chris remained quiet in deep thought for a few minutes and then said,"I don't know how to put this..." Then he got a sheepish look on his face and said "I'm real sorry..."

"For what, baby?" Asked Piper, taken aback by her son's apology.

"I...I never apologized for trapping you in that spider demon's cocoon and bringing you to her. Or for pounding on dad."

"Chris?" Asks Piper incredulously.

"What other neurotic, bitchy, demon obsessed whitelighters do you know?"

"My baby" Piper whispers as she puts her hand up to caress Chris's cheek. She then pulls him into a withering hug as tears run unchecked down her face, soaking into Chris's navy blue pullover.

"I really missed you." She whispers. "I almost expect you to orb into the attic, demanding that we vanquish another demon."

Chris chuckles a little and responds, "I was a bit pushy wasn't I."

"Well yes... But I shouldn't talk. I wasn't the greatest charge to deal with either... was I?"

"No... But I love you regardless." Said Chris with a warm smile.

"Oh Peanut! I love you too! I'm so glad you're here!"

"Even more than the fact that Wyatt's here too?" Asks Chris with a mischievous smile on his face.

"You Mister, are too cheeky for your own good! I'm gonna have to keep you away from Paige." Chuckles Piper.

"Speaking of which, we might wanna go and fill them in before Aunt Pheebs starts snooping." Suggests Chris.

"Oh! They'll be so thrilled!" Exclaims Piper.

Chris gently grips his mom's shoulder and orbs to the attic.

"Thank god! You're back Wyatt's grilling me and I'm starting to get really stressed out." Says Paige while rubbing her temples.

"Hopefully not too stressed. Wouldn't want you to conjure up another sex toy, that'll try to hit me with his Porsche. Cause if you do, I'm not hijacking another car to chase him down and get myself arrested." Paige and F. Phoebe's jaws dropped and then realization hit and they engulfed him into a huge hug.

Once they pulled apart Wyatt spoke up and said,"What the hell is going on?"
