Bronte had orbed to Valhalla. She trusted the Valkyries there and knew they would take good care of her son. She didn't know if Chris would find her, she saw the look in his eyes when James mentioned Lucy. He probably wanted to go back to the future again to save her. She was only three years old after all. Chris was twenty three now and Bronte was going to be nineteen in a few weeks, James had turned two just over a month ago and Lucy had turned three sometime before that.
She didn't even know if Paige had explained to the small girl about her mother's death. Losing Bianca was hard for Chris but she couldn't imagine how the insightful little girl would take it, she was already having a rough childhood, growing up under the reign of Wyatt.
She had the power of telepathy just like Bronte; she was also a phoenix and whitelighter. It didn't take long for Bronte to realise why she didn't receive her powers until she was older, because of her ability to communicate through telepathy Lucy never found the need to learn how to speak and at three years old she still hadn't said a single word.
Bronte looked in the mirror in her pocket, her identity had changed, yet again. Chris had cast a spell on her when she escaped from the demons, to change her identity every two days so Wyatt couldn't track her down. She barely remembered what she used to look like and Chris promised her as soon as they fixed the future he would rid her of the spell and she would return to her original look.

Chris sat on the bed where his sister was laying just moments before, he had lied to his family to save her future. He thought about the first time he tried to save the future, before Bianca had brought him back. She had died in doing so and Chris didn't go back to the past again, instead he went into hiding with Bronte while the two left their Children with their aunt Paige. The Charmed ones had learnt of his secret earlier than he intended, he was supposed to wait until after he was conceived but when Bianca weakened him Phoebe was able to feel what he was feeling and knew he was Piper's son.
Bronte and Chris spent over a year in hiding trying to devise a plan to go back to the past and the managed to do it. They just weren't counting on Chris having to take a dying Bronte to the past with him. He also hadn't planned on having to go back to the future to save her and his nephew as well.
He wondered if Lucy was even alive, he thought of the possibilities. Wyatt might have killed her, it was quite possible. He cursed at himself for not retrieving her when he went back to the past.

"Come on, silly girl, do you want to save your father or not?" Wyatt demanded, he looked a lot older now, wrinkles were forming on his face and his once blonde hair had started to grey, "You know this is the only way to save him, you know he dies before he can make it back."
"If I go back to save him you'll just kill him anyway", The girl replied, "You just want me to stop him from saving the future."
"Oh please, your incessant yelling is really tiring, you've been doing it for fifteen years now, aren't you growing bored of it?" Wyatt asked as he took a seat, "You see, if you go back for him I might just give you your powers back, and I might even let you live, otherwise I don't see the point in keeping you around here any longer."
Wyatt called a darklighter who drew his arrow ready to fire on his masters demand and he also opened up the portal to the past, giving her the choice.

Piper was looking through the book of shadows when a fifteen year old girl came through a portal and landed roughly on the floor.
"Ow", she muttered as she got up and dusted herself off.
"Please don't tell me you're from the future as well, we've had enough of that time travel lately", Piper remarked as Paige orbed in with Phoebe.
"Greetings from Hong Kong", Phoebe remarked with a smile.
"Yeah, well, I hope you found something Piper on the next demon to…"Paige trailed off when she saw the girl, "Who's this?"
"I'm not sure yet", Piper said sarcastically.
"I need to see Chris", The girl remarked as a swirl of blue orbs appeared in the form of Chris, "Good, you're here, I need to talk to you."
"Uh, who are you?" Chris asked as she dragged him away.
"Someone you'll never get to meet if I don't tell you what I'm about to", She said as she orbed with him to a secluded spot.
"What are we doing here?" Chris asked, "You better explain yourself."
"Don't you think I want to?" The girl retaliated, "You were wrong about the future, Wyatt gets turned after you're born, when you're about six months old, but you die trying to save him, I don't know what it is that turns him all I know is that it wasn't something evil."
"How do you know all this? What is your name?" Chris asked.
"I know all this because I spent thirteen years being captive to Wyatt and you can call me Cindy", She replied, "I've come to take all three of you back before you die."
"I'm not going, Bianca tried to do the same thing and she died in the process", He remarked, the alley that they had orbed into was becoming dark as the sun slowly began to set.
"I know about Lucy", Cindy said through anger, "And you think she's still with Paige don't you? She's not, Paige is dead, all three of them now, she died when he took James, he took Lucy as well, and if you don't come back he will kill her."
"That Son of a", Chris started before Cindy cut him off.
"Don't waste your breath, I just need the three of you to come back with me now", Cindy stated.
"What are you anyway, witch, whitelighter?" Chris asked, "How come you won't tell me anything about yourself?"
"Because I can't, but if you really must know, Wyatt bound my powers when I was younger", She stated.
"I can't go with you, I have to save the future, save my family, my daughter", Chris replied.
"Don't you get it!" Cindy yelled at him, "You died trying to save the future okay? It doesn't work out, it wasn't meant to be! You can't do it! If you try then you'll only leave your daughter at the hands of Wyatt, there will be no family, there is no happily ever after to this story, it'll only end up worse if you stay here, nobody except Wyatt knows what turned him and even he won't tell anyone so give up."
"Why are you so determined to get me back, if it's pointless whether or not I stay?" Chris asked.
"To save your daughter", She replied, "Don't you care about going back for her? Even if you can't change the future don't you want to at least be there for her? I know what it's like to grow up without a father, I don't want her to go through the same thing."
