Chapter 7; I'd die for you

Chris sat there in the kitchen watching from the distance as his mom talked to the adult Wyatt. His dad was up there.

Piper looked at her son Chris from where she was conversing with Wyatt. She wished Chris would sit with them too. But she knew they had to take it easy with him.

"Look, Wyatt I know it wasn't you that did all that. You're back, that's what counts. We'll make sure it doesn't happen, because it wasn't your fault. We'll prevent it," she said trying to comfort Wyatt and…herself.

"It doesn't change what I did. I'm sorry mom, I really am." He sobbed quietly.

Piper held her baby close. Yes this was her baby, no matter what.

Chris felt restless. He stood up and paced around the kitchen.

Phoebe watched him. She felt how restless and angsty he felt. He was so tense, so stressed out.

"Chris you really need to calm down," she commented.

Chris turned to face her; he hadn't realized she was there.

He nodded bluntly. He realized she must be feeling what he was feeling. It's not good to have an empath around when you want to be alone and not disturbed.

"Tell Piper I'll be back later. I have some stuff to take care of," he told Phoebe before orbing of.

Phoebe was about to protest but too late. He was already gone.

Chris didn't have anything to take care he just wanted to get out of there.

This is getting too complicated.

He found himself at their place. His and Bianca's. Bianca, I know you're gone. I'm not going to hang onto you anymore. I'll try to move on. But everything would be so much easier if you were here. I know that wherever you are, you're watching over me. I know I'm not standing in the dark anymore. I can feel you. You will always be here.

I found myself today oh I found myself and ran away

Something pulled me back

Voice reason I forgot I had

All I know is your not here to say

What you always used to say

But it's written in the sky tonight

So I won't give up

No I won't break down

Sooner than it seems

Life turns around

And I will be strong

Even if it all goes wrong

When I'm standing in the dark

I'll still believe

Someone's watching over me

I've seen that ray of light

And it's shining on my destiny

Shining all the time

I won't be afraid

To follow everywhere it's taking me

All I know is

Yesterday is gone

Right now I belong

To this moment

To my dreams

So I won't give up

No I won't break down

Sooner than it seems

Life turns around

And I will be strong

Even when it all goes wrong

And when I'm standing in the dark

I'll still believe

Someone's watching over me

It doesn't matter what people say

It doesn't matter how long it takes

Believe in yourself and you'll find

It only matters how true you are

Be true to yourself and follow your heart

So I won't give up

No I won't break down

Sooner than it seems

Life turns around

And I will be strong

Even when it all goes wrong

And when I'm standing in the dark

I'll still believe

Someone's watching over me

"Good bye Bianca, I will never forget. I love you," he whispered sadly. Then he orbed back to the Manor, he had said what he had to say. Now he was free.

Piper paced worriedly around the kitchen. Where is he?

She had already scolded Phoebe very thoroughly for letting him leave.

Big Wyatt meanwhile was calmly eating some cookies Piper had baked him.

Chris orbs in

"Chris, you had me worried! Where were you? Are you ok ?" she asked worriedly.

He merely nodded. He felt a bit annoyed at Piper, but more glad she was there.

"Is Leo back yet?"

Piper shook her head.

Chris sighed. He didn't understand why he was so drawn to Leo. He walked and sat in the couch, completely ignoring Wyatt at the table.

He browsed through the TV, completely bored.

Piper sat next to him quietly.

Chris merely glanced at her.

"Piper need anything?' he said harshly

Piper winced hurt. When will he call me mom?

"No, just wanted to sit here," she replied shortly.

Chris knew she was hurt by his words. I'm sorry mom, I really am.

"I'm sorry," he apologized.

"I know you want me to call you mom, it's just I don't know want to go through the pain of losing you again," he whispered.

Piper nodded. "I know I just want to get to know you. How about we make a deal, I'll allow you not to call me mom, but you have to start hanging out with us more? Ok?"

"Ok, mom!" he said without thinking.

Piper smiled brightly. Finally.

Chris looked at her shyly.

Wyatt watched sadly from the kitchen. He wished his brother would forgive him. He wished there were something he could do to. But maybe there was something he could make Chris forgive him.

Without thinking Wyatt orbed to the Attic. He looked through the book of shadows looking for potion. He remembered part of it. When he found what he was looking for. He orbed to the kitchen and quickly got the ingredients he needed. He orbed to somewhere where he wouldn't be disturbed.

Half an hour later

He was done. He was going to do it. He was going to give it all up for Chris. To be forgiven.

He orbed to the Manor, to his room. To baby Wyatt. He was going to bind his baby self's powers.

He did it. He knew his parents were gone. He felt them leave him. It hurt to know that he was no longer the twice blessed.

He gently patted baby Wyatt's hair. "This is for the best."

Now to tell Chris.

Chris I need to speak to you. Meet me in the attic, alone. Please.

What do you want Wyatt!

Please Chris just come. I have something to tell you.

I'm not meeting you alone in the attic!

Fine then in my baby's self room. He's here, too.

Ok, you'd better not try anything

Suddenly there's a swirl of lights and Chris.

"What do you want?" he demanded.

Wyatt looked at him intently.

"I bound my powers. Baby me's powers which are also mine."

Chris eyes widened in surprised.

Wyatt expected Chris to congratulate him. Instead…

"YOU IDIOT! WHY DID YOU DO THAT!!!??? NOW BABY YOU AND YOU ARE COMPLETELY DEFENSELESS!!!! HE"S THE TWICE-BLESSED!! WHAT'S HE SUPPOSED TO DO WHEN DEMONS COME AFTER HIM! YOU MORON!" shouted Chris. He breathed in and out, trying to calm down.

"You're just jealous I thought of it first!"

"Don't you think I've already thought of that, it's too risky!!! Now look what you go and do! IDIOT!" yelled back Chris. He paced around the room. "Go get the mom and the aunts; we're going to need them to reverse this…this mess you made."

"I won't it's a good plan."

Chris sighed exasperated. Moron. Idiot. Dumb-ass.

Stop that.

I'm just saying the truth. Don't you think?????
They were too caught up in their argument, that they didn't notice a darklighter orb in. He shot an arrow in baby Wyatt's direction

Chris saw it. Without even thinking he orbed in front of the arrow, stopping its trajectory.

Chris cried out in pain, as the arrow pierced into his shoulder. The darklighter was about to send another arrow at baby Wyatt, but Piper blew it up. Just in time too.

She ran to Chris. "Oh, no. Honey hold on!" she whispered. Chris nodded dumbly. He's mind was swimming. The whole place seemed to be spinning.

"Wyatt heal your brother!" Piper ordered.

Wyatt shook his head dumbly. "I can't."

"Why not? I saw you heal him last time??"!!!"

"I bounded (binded) baby me's powers. I have no powers," he whispered. He felt like such an idiot.

Piper stared. "No, what are we going to do?"

She stood up. "Chris I'll be right back ok?"

She raced downstairs for the sisters.

Wyatt kneeled beside Chris. "I'm so sorry Chris. This is my entire fault."

Chris opened his eyes painfully.

"You're still my brother. He's still my brother. I would die for you. I am willing, I came back, I knew it was possible. But you're my brother. I still love you. I would still die for you, even after everything," whispered Chris.

Wyatt sobbed quietly. "I can't heal you."

Chris stared at him. "Do you ever think? Really!" Call dad, you idiot. He's an elder. Man you are such a moron!

Wyatt nodded. Stupid, why didn't I think of that?

"Leo!! Dad! Chris needs you!! Dad! Dad!" shouted Wyatt.

He gently ruffled Chris's hair. He was going to be ok.

Stop that, I like my hair down. Now look, you've messed it up!

Wyatt chuckled.

Leo orbed into the room. He was surprised to find Chris on the floor, an arrow sticking out, and Wyatt next to him.

"Chris! Wyatt! What happened?"

He was about to heal Chris, but Chris stopped him. "No, the arrow…mom…take out…arrow," he whispered struggling. Tell him, Wyatt you tell him to call mom or one of the girls so they can take out the arrow. Neither of you can touch. Remember?

Wyatt nodded. "We have to call mom, so she can take out the arrow. It was a darklighter," he explained.

"Piper hurry!" yelled Leo going downstairs.

Chris groaned. Couldn't they be a little faster?

"It must be very painful," commented Wyatt.

Chris groaned and looked at Wyatt annoyed.

It is but you don't know do you? Being Mr. Powerful and Twice blessed and the source of all evil, no one would dare even annoy you.

Wyatt winced. It would never truly be gone. Chris to some point would always reproach at Wyatt.

Stop acting so weak, Wyatt. Now that you're good, you can't also have gone so soft.

Oh shut up Chris you know you'll always hate me.

What do you want me to do? Go from seeing you as the source of all evil, back to being the old Wyatt. I've seen what you can do, what you are capable of. I won't just forget that and there.

"I know, I know. I'm sorry, for what I did, I truly am. I found myself, mom helped me, "whispered Wyatt.

Ugh…I am in a lot of pain here. Can't we leave this conversation for later?

Wyatt nodded. "I'll go check on them."

"No…..don't….please…." whispered Chris hoarsely, groaning. What if the darklighter comes back? Please….

Chris eyes closed as he drew his last breath.

No, he just fell unconscious, not dead!

"Chris?"

He leaned forward. Relief rushed over him, as he heard Chris slow breathing.

"MOM! DAD! Hurry!" he yelled from the top of the stairs.

Before long all the sisters and Leo were upstairs.

Phoebe quickly took the arrow out of Chris's shoulder. Chris moaned painfully, even though he was still unconscious.

"Leo!"

Leo let the familiar glow was over Chris and slowly Chris wound closed.

Chris's eyes opened slightly. "About time," he murmured falling asleep.

Piper and Leo both smiled happily at the sight of everyone here together. For now, everything is ok.

I'm afraid I'm going to have to ruin it.

A strange and eerie voice crept into Wyatt's head. He turned sharply around. No one there. No one there.
