CHAPTER TWENTY TWO

CAN'T HIDE THE HALLIWELL DNA

The nursery door opened and Wyatt looked up and found his mother coming though the doors. He saw that she hadn't slept a wink the previous night. Dark circles lit up the bags that were forming underneath her eyes. He sighed as he realized his mistake for allowing her to see into Paige's bedroom, he shouldn't have done that. But he had to allow it to happen so his mommy could see what Paige was going through so she could find a way to help her. But it looked liked his planned had failed. Because he honestly thought his mommy would have gone and forced her way into his aunts room after she had put him to sleep. But it looked like his planned back fired.

"Hello little man." Piper said in a scratchy voice as she reached down and picked up her son. She walked over to the changing table and gently placed him on it and began to change him for the new day.

"Piper dear." Penny said coming into the room.

"Not now Grams. This is Wyatt and mine private time." Piper said not taking her eyes off of her son's. "Please leave."

Penny nodded. "Of course dear." She turned and walked out of the nursery to find Phoebe or Chris.

She walked downstairs and found Chris hard at work with his head deep in the BOS at the dining room table. "Hello great grandson."

Chris orbed suddenly and than orbed right back in his place, he quickly turned around in the chair and stared wide eyed scared in Penny's eyes. He shook his head as if in denial.

"You can't hide the Halliwell DNA Christopher Perry Halliwell." Penny said with a smile as she walked closer and reached the chair. She put her hand on Chris's arm and pulled him up and quickly pulled him into a tight hug. "My second born great grand son." Tears were at the tip of her eyes ready to fall.

Chris's arms automatically wrapped themselves around his Grams and he rest his head against the nap of her neck and he allowed himself to receive the comfort and loving hug. Until he realized what Penny had just said. He quickly pulled away but gently made sure that Penny wasn't physically hurt, which was ironic because Penelope Halliwell was quite dead. "Who else have you told?" His eyes widen. "Have you told Piper, Leo!"

"That's mom and dad to you young man." Penny said quickly.

"Leo is no father to me." Chris said his eyes darking.

"I don't know what happened between you and Leo, I have a feeling I won't know until the time it right. Well at least until Leo learns the truth first. But what about your mother?"

Chris waved his right hand. "It doesn't matter." He seethed. "The question is have you told them?" He shook his head. "If you have than they would be down my thoart demanding to know why I haven't told them when I first arrived back in July. Also why I forced Leo out of the family and out of Piper's bed."

Penny chocked her head. "Why did you go to those extremes Christopher?"

"Chris." Chris barked. "And that's my own damn business, I wish everyone would get off my back about that all ready. First Aunt Phoebe and now you."

"We have a right to know." Penny said.

"No you freaking don't." Chris almost shouted. He breathed in deep.

"Watch your tone young man." Penny quickly said.

"I'm sorry Grams." Chris said meekly with his head bowed.

"Ok so the needed information of why will also come at a later date." Penny said with a firm nod. "I just don't understand how a Halliwell could get it into their heads to time travel back and split their parents up before their conception."

"That was a major miscalculation on my part." Chris said blushing. "It happens."

Penny raised her right eye brow.

"See what I have to work with Grams." Phoebe said walking through the kitchen door with a mug of coffee in her right hand and a worn out smile on her face. The smile quickly faded and was replaced by a slight frown.

Penny walked over and put her arm around her granddaughter. "How are you this morning dear?"

"The same as yesterday." Phoebe said softly looking down into her steamy hot coffee. "I was going to pour a cup of coffee for Paige and bring it up to her when I suddenly remembered that she's not allowing anyone into her room." A tear drop dropped into her coffee making a tiny ripple.

Piper walked into the dining room with Wyatt on her hip. She stopped stand still at the sight of her younger sister crying in her coffee. She felt tears well up and she had to fight for control once more as she surpassed her emotions once more. She felt Wyatt tighten his hold on her arm.
