Author's Note: Thanks for the great reviews!! I have the next 5 chapters
written out I just gotta put more details in it. Just to let you know,
you're in for a big surprise. As for Chris, his future looks rough but
Jessie will be there to help him through it
------ After breakfast everyone parted ways. Phoebe and Paige went to their jobs while Piper took Wyatt and got him cleaned up. As for Chris and Jessie, they returned back to the attic to look up the demons from last night and this morning attacks. During their research, Jessie couldn't help but notice that Chris has been quiet for some time now.
"Chris, are you alright? You've been awfully quiet." Jessie asked
"Yeah I'm fine." He answered without bothering to look up from the Book.
"Chris...." Jessie continued
"You know don't you?" Chris asked finally looking up.
"Kinda....I know you're furious with the guy. There seems to be a lot of tension between you guys." Jessie replied
"Dad issues." Chris explained.
"I see...." Jesse trailed off, dropping the subject. "Any luck with finding those demons yet?" Jesse said trying to change the topic.
"No nothing." Chris replied shutting the book in frustration.
"Hey how's the research coming?" Piper asked walking into the attic.
"Not so good, looks like those demons that have been attacking are just random groups put together." Jessie replied
"I doubt it's random, something's going on down there." Piper stated
"As long as we don't get attacked by a big group like this morning again, I think we'll be fine until we figure this out." Chris said
"I think we should prepare some vanquishing potions just in case" Chris added.
"Good idea, better safe than sorry." Piper replied heading for the door, "You guys wanna help?" Piper asked turning around.
Chris and Jessie both turned to each other and then back to Piper "Sure." They both said at the same moment.
The three headed towards the kitchen. On the way, Piper stopped in her room to check on sleeping Wyatt as well as grabbed the baby monitor, while Chris and Jessie headed on to the kitchen. Before she left, Piper took a few moments to watch her son sleep, being the little angel he was. She bent over and gave him a quick peck before leaving the room.
Piper made her way into the kitchen to find Chris pulling out pots and herbs from the cabinets while Jessie was examining things that were out on the counter.
"I never was good at making potions. They always seem to blow up in my face." Jessie said making a sad face.
"Yeah well you won't have to worry about that, Piper is an expert potion maker, right?" Chris stated giving Piper a smile.
"I try" Piper replied with a grin.
"What kind of potions do you think we should stock up on?" Jessie asked smelling some of the herbs.
"I think some basic vanquish potions, stun potions and a few of our more powerful potions just in case." Piper replied preparing to boil some water.
The sound of Wyatt's cries through the monitor caught everyone's attention.
"I'll check on him." Chris volunteered before orbing up into Piper's room.
Piper began adding basic herbs into the water to get things started. When she went to grab some of the mandrake roots, Piper notice that Jessie was staring mindlessly into one of the jars.
"What's on your mind?" Piper asked snapping Jessie out of her trance.
"Hmm....nothing?" she replied watching Piper add more herbs into the pot. Piper gave a look that said she could be trusted.
"Oh c'mon you can trust me." Piper persuaded, "Does it have something to do with a half white lighter that's upstairs?" Piper pushed on causing Jessie to blush.
"Wyatt?" Jessie replied with a smile.
"Funny, you know who I mean." Piper said smiling back.
"Oh Paige, she's home?" Jessie continued to joke causing Piper to laugh.
"So what about Chris?" Piper said stirring the pot and then prepared another pot for the stun potions.
"I don't know I think I'm falling for him." Jessie said blushing even more.
"Is the feeling mutual?" Piper asked as she places some herbs on the cutting board and began shopping and dicing.
"I don't know, he's kinda hard to read sometimes." Jessie replied.
"Even with your powers?" Piper asked as she stopped chopping while giving Jessie a confused look.
"Heh yeah, he's a really complicated guy. But even if he did, someone already claimed his heart." Jessie said her eyes looking down at the counter.
"Ohhh....yea.... Bianca." Piper said
"Who?" Jessie asked looking up in curiosity.
"She's his future fiancée, but she died saving him." Piper said
"Really? Chris engaged? Wow? He's so young to be committed." Jessie stated her eyes wide.
"Yeah, who woulda thought." Piper said with a little laugh.
"Hey, what are you laughing about?" Chris said walking into the kitchen causing both women to look up.
"Nothing!" they said together.
"Uh huh, yeah see I don't believe you." Chris stated looking between the two women.
"You don't have a choice." Jessie said with a grin.
"Yeah I don't like this." Chris stated only to get smiles from the two women. "Wyatt's fine, he just woke up and then fell right back to sleep." Chris said giving up trying to pry information from these two.
"Tell me Jessie, do you have any family here in the city?" Piper asked
"No, most of my family lives in Los Angeles." Jessie replied
"Really? How long have you been in San Francisco then?" Piper asked
"For about three years now." She said. As she watched Piper add the last ingredient into the potion and with a small explosion signaling the potion was complete.
"And the vanquishing potion is done." Piper said went to grab some empty vials but Chris quickly volunteered to do it for her.
"Here I'll fill up the vials." Chris said as he gathered the empty bottles.
"Thanks." Piper returned as she watched Chris, she never really seen this side of Chris before. If they weren't arguing about demons that could be future threats, they would be discrediting him and accusing him of being evil. She started to regret some of the things she has said to him in the past.
