Hello again! Thanks for the reviews, and to all those who read! I do not owned Charmed or the characters no matter how much I'd like to!

This is just a quick chapter til I have more time this weekend, mostly emotional stuff. I know that my story is a little different and that Chris is out of character a little here, but in my fic I am dealing with a lot of things that he has yet to deal with from the future like his families deaths at the hands of his brother. As a reviewer pointed out people do move on from these things but my thoughts is 1st they have to accept them and deal with them and I am writing that he has yet to do these things. I plan on not only exploring the deaths but other things in his journal as well, I hope everyone continues to read and review because I love to hear what people think even if its something I could do better. Thanks for hanging in with me, I hope this chapter is up to par, I do not do dialouge very well.

CHAPTER 9

"Leo, I mean it…" Piper was cut off with the all to familiar blue swirling that meant her her ex husband had arrived.

"Piper, what's wrong, oh… what happened?" He asked as he dropped to the ground seeing the look of desperation on her face.

"Heal NOW, talk later." Piper cried. "It's okay baby, just hang on, you'll be better in no time."

"It's not working!" Leo said looking defeated.

"What? Why? Make it work, it's got to work, try again Leo!" Piper demanded.

"It's no use Piper, he's blocking it." Leo said.

"Chris? Chris is doing this but why?" Piper questioned.

"I don't know but unless he drops it he's gonna die." Leo admitted sadly knowing there was nothing more he could do.

"Chris, baby please let us help you." Piper begged.

"No, I want to go." Chris said dropping his head to the side so his family couldn't see the single tear that had fallen.

"Chris, look at me, please baby." Unwilling to give up, Piper lay on the ground beside her dying son putting her in direct eye contact with him. "Listen to me Chris, you have to let Leo heal you, please sweetie?" She continued to beg, her tears falling freely, not caring only wanting her son to live.

"Why?" Chris asked.

"What do you mean baby?" Piper asked not understanding.

"Why should I let him heal me?" He asked again clarifying himself.

"Because I just found out you were mine, I can't lose you again, I love you." She answered hoping she could get through to him before it was to late.

"No you don't, you threw me out, you tried to kill me." Chris said solemnly.

"No honey no, I didn't know who you were, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean it. Please stay with me! Look, let him heal you, I promise I'll make it up to you, we'll talk about everything that's happened, but first you have to get better." Piper promised him.

"You told me, both of you, you told me to do it."

"What? We told you to do what?" She asked confused again.

"You… and… Leo… you told me… to." He broke off in a coughing fit.

"Whoa baby calm down, we'll talk about it later."

"I got to go… no matter… what I always… loved… you." Chris said closing his eyes, to weak to go on.

"NO, DAMN IT!" Piper screamed beating her fist on her sons chest. "You will not die on me Christopher Halliwell, I won't let you! You let your father heal you right now! Please Chris please I love you damn it, I won't let you." She cried dropping her head on his chest as her emotions overtook her.

Paige was holding on to Phoebe as the emotions of her family caused her to crumble to the floor crying out in pain.

Leo held on to Piper, not knowing what to say as he was lost in his own personal hell, when his hands started to glow and he could feel the healing power starting to flow from him to his son.

"Leo what's happened?" Piper asked.

"When he passed out he couldn't keep up the block."

"What's taking so long?"

"He almost died, Paige will you come help?"

"Yeah but Leo you know I can't heal." Paige said but was willing to do whatever was necessary to save her nephew.

"I know but remember how your half offset Cole's demon half and we healed him, I'm hoping that I can channel your power again and speed up the healing time."

"Phoebe, you okay now?" She asked her older sister concerned about leaving her by herself, even though she wanted to do something to help the rest of her family.

"Yeah Paige, Chris needs you, I'll be fine."

"Okay, Leo what do I do?" She asked sitting beside her oldest sister, and across from her ex-brother-in-law.

"Just take my hands, and let your power flow through, hopefully that'll be enough."

"Is it working?" Piper asked impatiently.

"Yes it's working." Leo answered.

"Thank God." Piper said looking up at the heavens.

After a few minutes Leo let go of Paige's hands and sat back, allowing his eyes to go to Piper's face.

"What, why are you stopping?" Piper wanted to know.

"We've done all we can do for now, he'll live, but now that he's got some strength back his block has come back up, I don't know why though, he's still unconscious. We'll have to wait until he wakes up, he'll have to allow us to finish."

"Why isn't he waking up?" Piper had to see those green eyes before she would really believe he was okay.

"He was in a lot of pain Piper not to mention he probably hasn't been getting much rest, his body needs time to recuperate." Leo explained.

"Can we move him? I mean is it safe?" She didn't want to cause him any more pain than they already had, mental or physical.

"Yeah, he's okay to move, though he has some broken bones none are life threatening they do need to be tended to since I can't heal them."

"What's broken?"

"A few ribs, his right leg and his nose, he's still got a lot of scars and bruises that are going to be bothersome for a few days."

"Okay, we need to orb him back to the manor, get him in bed and get some food in him as soon as he wakes up. Phoebe are you okay?" Piper asked as she launced into mama bear mode ready to take care of her wounded cub.

"Yeah I'm okay."

"Good, when we get back, I want you to call Ava, explain the situation to her and see if she can get the supplies needed to fix him up at home, we can't take the chance at the hospital if we don't have to. Paige I can you orb us back to the manor and then orb over to P3 and pick up his stuff, he'll need his pj's and some clothes when he wakes up."

"Yeah." Both sisters answered.

"Okay, what are we standing around here for." Piper wanted to know.

"What about me?" Leo asked wondering where he fit into her plan at.

"Leo, thank you for saving him."

"Piper damn it, he's my son too."

"I know he is and you really came through for him today twice,but it doesn't really change anything, remember what we talked about?"

"Yeah I remember but."

"No Leo, we have to think of Chris now, we were all horrible to him, we all want to make it up to him but it's gonna take some work. He has some major issues with us not from just here but from the future as well, we can't overwhelm him. I'm sorry but he has a lot of issues with you and I think right now it would be to much for him, I'm not saying you have to stay away completely, you can orb in to check on him and I'll call you if we need you. We need to wait until he's ready but I promise honey that we'll get through to him, it's just gonna take time."

"Okay, I'll go along with that for now but I won't be far and as soon as he has his strength built back up, I'll make him believe that I won't be the father that I am in his future."

"Thanks Leo, I just hope I can get through to him."

"You will Piper, I know you can."

"Okay Paige, let's go, we've got a lot of work to do."

"Right, everybody ready, grab a hand." Paige said before orbing home so they could all start rebuilding their family.
