Chapter 2 -Wyatt's revenge
As three year old Chris' orbs disappeared, Leo instantly snapped out of his shock and ran out of his youngest son's bedroom, quickly making his way though every room in the house, desperately trying to locate the missing toddler. After checking for at least ten minutes, and going into every room at least five times, the worried father dashed outside the front door and looked up and down the street, trying to ignore the sickening feeling he was getting as he heard the cars wiz by.
Finally realising he couldn't do it on his own, especially now he had no powers; Leo rushed back indoors and grabbed hold of the nearest phone, attempting calling his wife. As he dialled the number, paying no attention to the strange musical noises that were being admitted, or how large the buttons were, he was about to press the green call button when a set of orbs appeared in front of him, very tall six foot orbs wish couldn't possibly belong to Chris.
As the blue glow disappeared, a man in his eighty's appeared in a golden robe, a man he quickly recognised as one of his own bosses.
"I think he belongs to you! You should be much more careful Leonardo, with all the demons out there, who knows what could happen! This is why Whitelighters shouldn't reproduce!" He said, and before Leo had the chance to ask what he was talking about, the elder had vanished. Looking down, to the 'dead' man's relief he saw Chris standing near the stairs, hiding behind the banister.
Diving forward, Leo wrapped his hands around the whimpering child and hugged him like there was no tomorrow, he couldn't handle it if he lost him again.
"Never, ever do that to me again! You had me worried sick Chris!"
"I'm sorry….daddy… I…was….a…..a scared!"
"Scared?" Leo repeated in a mix of both shock and horror, why the hell was his son afraid of him?
"Yeah…I… I don't like…like you mad!"
"Mad? Chris, I'm not mad at you!"
"Really?"
"Really, honestly Chris I'm not, but you should have told me you had your powers Chris!"
The little boy nested his head deep into his father's shoulder and sniffed back a tear, his eyes glazing over again.
"I know… is mummy going to be really mad at me?" He mumbled softly, he hated it when she shouted at him.
"Of course not, she'll be very happy!"
"No she won't! She's always mad at me!" He continued sadly, allowing a single tear to fall down his face before he orbed his favourite teddy bear that victor had given him into his arms.
Leo felt like his heart was breaking in two at his son's words, but instead of talking to him about it, the ex elder made a mental note to have a serious discussion with his wife, if she was hurting Chris this much, then he had to do something about her behaviour or take drastic action!
"Tell you what buddy, why don't you show daddy what you can do with your super cool powers?" Leo whispered to him quite, instantly cheering the boy up.
"OKAY!"
With that he orbed across the room and flung his arm out, sending all the cushions spiralling though the air, towards his father, who actually had to duck as they sprung forward at such a force he actually thought they could cause some serious damage.
Giggling, Chris sprung out of the room, making the pillows follow him, it was that moment that Leo realised he had made a fatal mistake… how the hell was he supposed to stop an army of pillows, (and teddy bears) flying around the house?
Later that night, when piper finally came home with a hyperactive Wyatt, the eldest charmed one found her husband sprawled out on the sofa, looking absolutely exhausted.
"Daddy, why's wobbie downstairs?" Wyatt asked as he jumped on top of his father, his favourite teddy bear held protectively in his arms.
"Oh, he went for a little walk!" Leo said quickly, trying his absolute hardest to keep his tired eyes open as he concentrated on his eldest son.
"I don't believe you! He's a bear! He can't walk he's not real!!!" Wyatt replied simply suspicion flowing though his voice. "Prue better not have been here! 'Cus she is not allowed to play with wobbie! He's mine, not her's! And she ruins toys!"
Leo gave a small barley hearable chuckle as he shook his head, denying that the currently youngest Halliwell had been anywhere near the little bear.
"No, Wyatt, prue wasn't playing with it; your brother was he wanted to have a teddy bear picnic!"
Wyatt started at him thoughtfully for a moment, before shrugging his shoulders and orbing down to the floor.
"That's okay then, Chris can play with wobbie! Just not prue!" with that, the five year old ran full speed over to the TV and switched it on, sitting himself a mere inch form the screen as his favourite show started.
"Well did Chris behave himself?" Piper asked as she took a seat next to her husband and kissed his cheek as a way to greet him.
"Err, yeah… he did…" Leo replied, smiling weakly at his wife, the truth was the three year old had been orbing all over the house all day, making the tired father chase him up and down the stairs for hours on end, but for some reason he really didn't want to tell her that.
As piper opened her mouth to respond, sparkling blue lights appeared in front of her, as the little monster materialized.
With his back to his mother, Chris never even noticed the women was home as he held out his father's soaking wet slippers, a cheeky grin plastered across his face.
"You were right daddy, water is fun!" Chris shouted with glee as his gob smacked father stared at his favourite shoes in disbelief, he really should have known better than to tell Chris about how they used to wash clothes by hand in a bucket of water.
"CHRIS!" piper eventually yelled after finding her voice. The young toddler froze upon hearing his mother, and even Wyatt found himself turning away from the pocoyo show, wondering why his mother sounded so mad. "When the hell did you get your powers?"
The brunet just shrugged as he looked down at the floor- he knew his dad was wrong, he knew she'd be mad at him.
"Piper, calm down!" Leo quickly spoke up, as he saw her face turning red and her knuckles turn white from lack of blood.
"Calm down? It's happening already!"
"What? What is?"
"Him! The lying, the keeping secrets, I will not allow this Chris to become the manipulative person we met… I won't!"
"You mean the man who saved the world? Our son! Who risked his own existence to save billions of people?"
"No I mean the secretive, lying, time travelling, law breaking, demon obsessed Whitelighter!" She snapped, now almost screaming, completely forgetting both of her son's were currently in the room, both of whom were now standing side by side, extremely confused and scared.
"I can't believe you're saying this, Chris died for us!" Leo yelled, not understanding what the hell was wrong with the women whose very last words to her adult son were I love you.
"My point exactly! He's recluse with his own life! Now he's using magic, demons are going to be coming after him left, right and centre! Our efforts should be entirely focused on Wyatt, now we know evil might tempt him, we have to keep him safe, and he is twice blessed after all! If we have to constantly divide our attention between the two, then demons could take advantage and hurt the important son!"
"CHRIS IS IMPORTANT!"
"Not to the magical world he isn't! We need to bind his powers now; it will save so much hassle if the demons never find out about them!"
As piper continued to yell Chris started crying as he heard the words come from his mother's mouth, he may not have known exactly what she was talking about, but he knew his parents were fighting about him again- he really hated being the reason for their arguments!
Wyatt however knew exactly what they were saying and what the eldest charmed one was planning on doing.
As the mother of two turned around to tell Chris to be quite, Wyatt gritted his teeth in anger and blinked. The second his eyes opened, piper Halliwell vanished in a shower of orbs as the twice blessed child put his arms protectively around his little brother.
Blinking in shock, Leo slowly walked towards his two sons and bent down to Wyatt's level as he collected the hysterical baby in his arms.
"Wyatt, what did you do to your mother?"
The blonde toddler just looked at his father and shook his head as a way of saying he wasn't going to tell, as far as he concerned she deserved to be far, far away!
"Wyatt, buddy, this isn't funny! Where did you send mummy?" Leo tried again, whilst making shhing sounds as he rocked Chris from side to side in his arms.
"Not telling!"
"Well why not!"
"Cus she was mean to Chris! She's nasty and I don't like her when she's nasty 'cus she scares me and makes Chris sad! She can stay away 'cus, I'm not bringing her back!"
With that, the five year old spun on his heels and marched back over to the TV, having already missed half of the show.
"Wyatt, you're not watching TV until you bring your mummy back! I promise I will stop her scaring you and Chris, but you have to bring her back first!" Leo said as he made his way to the electronic baby sitter, placed a now much calmer Chris on the floor and reached over to switch the show off.
As soon as he did that however, Wyatt brought his shield up, covering both himself, Chris… and of course the TV, preventing Leo from going anywhere near it.
"You little… Wyatt that isn't funny put that shield down right now!"
"NO!" Wyatt replied simply, grinning from ear to ear, knowing full well his father couldn't do anything about it. His grin widened even further, when Leo went to grab the remote, only for Chris to orb it in to his hands and start chewing on the bottom of it.
"Chris! No! That's bad! Now give daddy the remote!"
"No don't Chris! Daddy wants to turn pocoyo off! Don't give it to him!"
Chris looked from his father, who was crouched down by the outside of the blue bubble, to Wyatt who held his hand out, signalling he too wanted the remote control. Smiling sweetly, Chris instantly handed the black box over to his brother and rested against the back of the chair as Wyatt started laughing.
Knowing full well it was pointless to try and reason with the Halliwell brothers, due to the fact they had inherited BOTH of their parents stubbornness, Leo headed over to the phone and hit the speed dial button- it was time to call in some reinforcements…
Lying with her feet resting over her husband's legs, phoebe giggled as she wrapped her arms around coop's neck and allowed him to nibble at hers.
"Coop, we can't… Prue's in the next room!" Phoebe said, trying to push the cupid's head away with as little force as she could.
"So… she's fast asleep…"
"So not the point… and don't you have work to do?"
At that, coop brought his head away from his wife and smiled suggestively as he gazed into her deep hazel eyes.
"It can wait… and you know… we could always create that second child you've always wanted!"
"Nice try mister… but…I…I" phoebe mumbled as coop started kissing her in a 'French' sort of way. "Oh, what the hell!"
With that, the thirty two year old finally gave in and the two of them progressed to a full out make out session. Unfortunately, just before they were about to move to the bedroom, the phone started ringing.
"Leave it!" coop mumbled as phoebe reached over to pick the receiver up, who ever was calling it better have been important or there was going to be hell to pay.
"Hello… oh hi Leo… no… no your not interrupting anything!" phoebe said though gritted teeth as she drummed her fingers on the armrest, okay so maybe he was interrupting, but she couldn't very well say that now could she. "Wait what???" she eventually yelled, her attention now fully away from making another child… well maybe not fully, that was always on her mind.
"What's going on?" coop asked, noticing her sudden mood change as she sat up, her eyes filled with worry. Phoebe's hand instantly covered the phone so Leo couldn't hear her and repeated what she was just told to her husband.
"Wyatt orbed piper somewhere and he won't bring her back!"
"Why?"
"Err… hold on…" phoebe whispered as she uncovered the receiver and placed her hand back down on her lap. "Leo… why did he do that? ... She threatened to bind Chris powers? Since when has he had powers… since today? Are you kidding me, and you're only just telling me this now! Put my little nephew on! ... He's done what!!!" Phoebe howled as she burst into laughter, causing a very confused Coop to become even more confused, something which was happening on a regular basis with his new family.
"What? Who's done what? What's so funny?
Phoebe just flung her hand into Coops face as a way to tell him to shut up as she listened to Leo, her face in agony as she tried not to let her amusement out.
"Okay, we'll be right over!"
As soon as the middle sister hung up the phone, she burst into hysterics, she knew piper's 'magical boys will be magical boys' speech would backfire on them eventually. Turning to her husband, the witch had to try her absolute hardest not to laugh as she explained just why their, baby making session would have to wait.
"Wyatt has covered himself and Chris with his shield and refuses to put it down."
"Why's that funny?"
"Because he's also covered the TV, so Leo can't turn it off and make him tell him what he's done to his mother!"
"Oh?"
"Yeah so we've got to get over their and help find my sister, and convince Wyatt to drop his shield!"
"Right…"
Phoebe just nodded as she got to her feet and headed over to Prue's room, but as she reached for the door knob, she instantly stopped, and turned to face Coop, a devil like smile plastered across her face.
"You know, Wyatt would never put piper in danger, I think we can spare at least half an hour before we go over there!"
Coop hurriedly got to his feet and rushed over to his wife, who grabbed his hand and pulled him into their bedroom, pushing the door closed behind her as their make out session continued… it wasn't like it was an emergency or anything…besides, since Henry was at work, Paige could go over their and help out, giving the two love birds some much needed alone time.
Hanging up the phone, Leo just sighed as he walked back into the living room and sat on the sofa closest to his sons.
"Wyatt, if I promise not to turn pocoyo off, will you put your shield down and tell me where your mummy is?" he asked, in a defeated kind of voice, now extremely glad only one of his son's had the protective shield ability.
"Nope! But if you buy us a puppy I will!!!"
"Not a chance, you are not blackmailing me! I am your father, and you will tell me where your mummy is!"
Wyatt just stared at his father, his eyes full of innocence as he lowered his shield at the exact same time as the show finished.
"Not without a puppy!" He replied and grabbed hold of Chris' arm and orbed the two of them upstairs to play a game of football.
Leo just sighed as he got to his feet to follow them, at least one of the problems were solved… the other one was going to be a whole lot harder, but one thing he was certain of, when all this was over, he was going to have a serous discussion with his sons about blackmail and using their magic.
