Title:Dirty Little Secret
Rating T: Language
Disclaimer:I do not own Charmed or any of its characters. I do however own Prue, Mel, Penny and Allen.
Summary: The Charmed ones want to know what's up with Chris. So they cast a spell. And what should happen? Exactly the opposite of what they wanted. Takes place after The Courtship of Wyatt's Father, but the girls don't know who Chris is.
Previously on Charmed:
"You always used to say that. But really, how did you know?"
"Little things you used to say. At the beginning, all your life never seeing us take the bate like the blondes did, us keeping stuff around forever. I had my suspicions from the beginning. That you weren't just some random stranger from the future. Then when we found out you were part witch, part Whitelighter. Then you trying to get me and Leo back together out of nowhere, then a few weeks later I find out I'm pregnant," Piper explained.
"Ew. I guess my cover wasn't completely foolproof, huh?"
"Like I said before," Piper said laughing a bit, "Family always knows."
Part five: Don't wanna!
--------------
Piper and Chris had at some point fallen asleep, with Chris leaning one her as she stroked his hair lovingly.
So, naturally, Leo orbs in.
"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!" He shouted in rage.
"Leo," Piper said as they woke up, "Leo, calm down."
"CALM DOWN! CALM DOWN? You expect me to calm down. First he comes from the future, splits us up. Then he tries to kill Wyatt. Now he's stealing my wife. How do-" Leos rant was cut off as Piper waved a hand and Leo exploded into a million blue orbs.
Chris laughed at the look on his face when he reformed.
"PIPER!" Leo shouted.
Chris, sensing another rant, flicked his wrist and Leo was frozen in place.
"You can freeze?"
"Yeah. But I haven't since I was fourteen. Freeze, blow stuff up, E...you haven't got that power yet, and cook. I stopped after... except blowing stuff up, it happens when I get mad."
"You cook! And I get a new power! When?"
"You know I can't tell you that. And I got a lot from you. My uncles used to call us twins. And not just because we looked a lot alike. We were practically the same person. Same powers, same personality, same inability to let anything stay messy." They both laughed at the last bit.
"Can you orb us back to the manor? He can find his way back once he unfreezes," Piper said.
"Sure," Chris held out a hand, "Are we going to tell your sisters?"
"If it's okay with you."
"There going to have to find out sooner or later. Besides, Penny and Allen will like to be able to get to know their mother better. Penny was barely five and Allen two when she died. And the twins were almost 11 when Pheebs died. It'll be good for all of them."
"I guess we'll all die young," Piper sighed, orbing into the kitchen.
"Not if I change things. It was all Wyatt. If I stop him from turning, I stop him from killing you all."
"Okay. Saving Wyatt is our top priority. After I make breakfast for everyone," Piper grinned.
"Can't ever give up the chance to cook for a large crowd can you, mom?" Chris blushed slightly as he said it and Piper made fish faces.
"Would you like to help?" she asked once she found her voice.
Chris grinned. "Heck yes."
-----------
The rest of the house (who had managed to conjure a few extra beds for the guests) woke to the smell of food.
"Mmm," Paige groaned when she woke up. She walked sleepily down the hall, sniffing out the source of the sweet aroma.
So was everyone else it seemed. Six witches plus the Twice-Blessed baby found their way into the kitchen.
"Where'd you guy's disappear to last night?" Mel asked, seeing Piper and Chris.
The table (which Chris had enlarged so they could all fit) was covered in homemade breakfast.
"The club. We woke up this morning to Leo screaming at us about Chris trying to steal me from him," Piper said setting a plate of muffins on the table.
"Yes," Chris said walking over, "Me and mom going at it. Just the images I wanted to be plagued with for the next month."
"Eww," his cousins said.
"Wait," Phoebe asked, "What do you mean, Mom?"
"I'm pregnant!" Piper said.
"You mean I get another little nephew!" Paige and Phoebe exclaimed.
"Yes. And he is twenty-two so he better not get treated like he's two," Chris stated.
"Your sho coote," Prue said in a baby voice, pinching Chris' cheeks.
Chris glared, then orbed into a chair across from her.
"Should we call Leo?" Piper asked.
"I doubt my freeze has worn off yet."
"Besides," Prue added. "I think he might get the crap beaten out of him again. Thanks to my favorite twin!"
"I'm your only twin."
"What'd mean, your freeze hasn't worn off?" Piper asked. "Mine usually wear off after I'm gone."
"So do mine. I just..when I'm mad...particularly at Leo...they tend to last longer," Chris replied sheepishly.
"Looks like a full house," Phoebe said as everyone sat down.
"Ha. You think this is full," Chris laughed. "I remember, before mom... the whole family would get together. You three, the eight of us, Leo, Uncle C, Uncle K, Grams, Grandma, Gramps, Sam, Prue."
"Yeah that got confusing," Mel said nodded. "One Prue is bad enough." Prue looked at her funny.
"We get to see Prue," Phoebe and Piper exclaimed.
"Yeah, in a few years," Chris said.
"Yea she's our-"
"PRUE," Chris warned.
"Sorry."
"So that's what, 20 people?" Paige asked. "How'd we have room for that?"
"19. 24 when the Morris' joined, which was a lot. And we enlarged the house from the inside, so It looked the same from the outside, but the whole family could fit inside. No one could agree on who the house should go to. I tell you what, it never got boring."
"Wait," Phoebe said, "These are your cousins, and your Pipers son...that means...I'm sitting across the table from my daughters. My twin daughters."
Prue and Mel grinned and nodded.
"So that makes you..." Paige said, figuring out why Penny and Allen couldn't take their eyes off her. "Wow."
----------
"Do we have to?" Prue whined.
"Yes."
"But we don't wanna," Mel cried.
"Sorry guys. You've been here two days. I probably have to give mom and the Aunts a cup full of memory dust as it is..."
"Don't even think about it young man," Piper threatened.
The twins sniggered.
"Mom," Chris sighed. He handed her and his aunts a slip of paper.
"Hopefully it works this time," Paige muttered.
Phoebe swatted her with the paper before beginning the chant.
The wall glowed bright blue in the shape of the Triquetra.
"Bye Chris," the cousins said, hugging him.
"Bye mom," the Twins said, wrapping their arms around Phoebe.
Penny and Allen did the same to Paige.
"We look forward to really getting to know you someday," Phoebe said.
"Ha," Prue called. "You look forward to conceiving us."
Everyone but Phoebe laughed.
----------
"You better not even think about making us forget," Phoebe called, following her nephew and sister into the kitchen.
"I was kidding..." Chris started.
"Good."
"Sort of," he muttered.
"That's our family motto. Has anyone else noticed that?"
"So, ready for that talk you promised to have with Leo?" Piper asked, as Chris washed dishes.
"No."
"Chris," she warned.
"But..."
"Leo!" Piper called.
"What talk?" Paige asked.
"I thought it would be nice for Chris and Leo to have a father-son talk."
"She thought it would be nice for me to break it to him that she's pregnant...with me."
"See, that really weird. What happens when the baby's born, you'll be talking about Chris and everyone will think you've gone crazy and started talking about yourself in the third person," Phoebe said.
Chris rolled his eyes.
"So," Paige started, "We heard you took it upon yourself to take care of our kids after we..you know."
"Yeah."
"You were fourteen."
"Your point?"
"Where were there fathers?"
"Well, I wouldn't let Leo near any of them. Neither would Prue. She is one tough cookie. A lot like your sister. And Uncle C was..."
"Please tell me the C doesn't stand for Cole?" Phoebe asked.
"Maybe. Maybe not. Anyway, Uncle C was away a lot trying to help with all the destruction Wyatt caused. And Uncle K was in the underworld a lot. Undercover as a Darklighter..."
"How can you pretend to be a Darklighter?" Paige asked. "If he was a Whitelighter, wouldn't he have the wrong color orbs?"
"With a spell I came up with years ago. Years from now. You know what I mean. It's used to change the color of a Whitelighters orbs. He used it to change them from blue to black. Then once Wyatt became the Source, he..."
"My son becomes the Source. As in the Source of all EVIL!"
"Yea," Chris nodded glumly. "Once he was, he used his power to throw the world into chaos. Killing mortals, and anyone who got in his way. He built an army. So did we. Ours was slightly different. Witches, mortals, magical creatures, a few demons. Most demons fell to Wyatt straight away, him being the source and all. But there were still quite a few that didn't like it. Looking to a Halliwell for leadership. They didn't trust him. And with him as ruler of the planet, evil that was not on his side usually got killed. So they found themselves a leader."
---The end---
---For now---
Review comments:
Star Fata- I kinda got the idea from Family Always Knows by AnimeAlexis
Lamarquise-I understand what your saying. I love Leo. He is probably my absolute favorite character. But when it comes to Chris stories, we all have to give into the fact that he and Leo have some major issues. And as for the events in the beginning of this chapter, Leo is just being over-protective of his family, he doesn't trust Chris because he doesn't know who he is, so naturally he over reacts. And I thank you for telling me what you think; I actually like constructive criticism over "Please continue".
