The attic
"Bianca do you mind me asking you a personal question?" asked Phoebe Halliwell as she looked across the table on which a map of San Francisco was spread out and on which Paige was trying to scry for the future demon
"Err… okay" answered Bianca who was caught off guard by Phoebe's question
"Are Wyatt and Chris close as brothers?"
"Yeah they are but what does that have to do with me?" asked Bianca as Paige frowned with frustration
"Bianca I know how it is to be young but don't you think you are experimenting a bit to much I mean they are brothers after all" Scrying crystal hit the map as Paige dropped it almost equally fast Bianca's mouth fell open after a couple of seconds Bianca got her composure back and answered
"Phoebe we were attacked at 3:00 am"
"Oh thank the lord almighty" sighed Phoebe
"Pervert" commented Paige
"They appeared in underwear! In the middle of day what was I supposed to think?" responded Phoebe
Paige opened her mouth to respond but then she realized something and turned towards Bianca
"What did Chris mean with the "demon was a week longer here" then you guys?"
"Well its complicated you see when you time travel the portal is open for a small period of time and if jump in moments before it closes there might be a small time displacement for those who jumped in last", explained Bianca, "But don't ask me to explain the only people who actually get that are probably you and Chris"
"I get that?" asked an unbelieving Paige
"Sure hope so it was you who taught him that in magic school" replied Bianca

Piper's room
"No! How there you use my sons face you bastard!" hissed a furious Piper as she flicked her wrists in an attempt to blow Chris up luckily nothing happened
"Mom it's me Chris stop it" spoke Chris genuinely concerned for his mother's health
"Oh yeah prove it" she snapped
"Future consequences" he answered more on an impulse then any particular reason but the phrase seemed to have rocked Piper to the core for a moment she locked at him as if he was going to explode but then jumped at him and pulled him into a hug wrapping her arms around him not wanting to let go
"You are alive!" she sobbed while she dug her head into his chest
"The last time I checked" he replied jokingly but then felt a sudden pain in his leg as Piper kicked him
"What was that for" he asked while jumping on one foot
"Never ever scare me that again you hear!" she still sobbed holding him in a tight hug

Up there, Chamber of the high council
"I asked who are you!" hissed Odin
"I'm Wyatt Matthew Halliwell the twice blessed son of Piper Halliwell and Leo Wyatt" he spoke as he passed Odin his voice echoing through the chamber shocking the elder council as several of them went pale including Odin and an shocked Leo but Wyatt ignored them and continued
"And this is Melinda Prudence Halliwell my little sister" he gestured towards Melinda who just glared at them all
"This is not possible Leo Wyatt has only two sons no daughters" Odin finally spoke after what seemed an eternity
"He does now but who says that that isn't going to change!" replied Mel "I know time travel is a bitch", she added as an after thought taking over from Wyatt who was now tending to their father
"Wyatt is that really you?" he asked his eyes full of tears
"Yeah dad its me" he said "Don't worry well have you out in a jiffy" and with that he blasted open the force field around his father
"Leo Wyatt has been sentenced you cannot simply free him and damage the time line like this!" yelled Odin at Wyatt but was confronted by a furious Melinda
"Who says were doing damage we are preserving the timeline our timeline" she snapped at him
"This court has found Leo Wyatt guilty of murder of an other elder there is only one suitable punishment for this…"
"Is this the circle of truth thingy?" asked Melinda pointing towards the white crystal circle on the floor between Leo and the council's benches
"Yes it is but…" answered on of the elders but before he could continue Mel stepped into the circle which displayed a holographic projection of their morning breakfast with Leo sitting at the table while talking with Wyatt and eating a sandwich
Now several of the elders started squirming in their seats while Odin looked even paler then he had a moment ago, while Wyatt had just blasted Leo's shackles off with a beam of light emanating from his hands
"What you aren't so high and mighty now?" she asked acidly
"Show a little more respect" scolded Odin
"What for you blundering idiot? The fact that you were just going to kill of my dad with no actual proof" she snapped back at him
Odin eyed her furiously it seemed for moment that his eyeballs could fall out of his sockets while Mel simply smirked unimpressed with the furious elder

The Manor, 1 hour later
Piper was in full super mom mode after she had recovered from the initial shock of finding the son she believed dead up in her room trying to cheer her up. Although she was still worried about Leo and the baby versions of Wyatt and Chris she was determent not to get depressive like that ever again as she and Chris entered the attic
"So what did we miss?" she asked her younger sisters whose jaws drooped at Pipers presence
"Piper do you…" Phoebe began but was interrupted by Piper
"Phoebe I'm fine but now I need to save my husband and children so what have you been doing?" she added in her usual bossy manner
"Oh nothing much just perv Phoebe in action" commented Paige as she put the Scrying crystal aside
"What?" asked both Chris and Piper in union
"We were trying to scry for her and now we are thinking of summoning spells but…" continued Phoebe as if there was no interruption at all
"They won't work you don't have anything of her…" concluded Piper
"Except for the bruises" shrugged Chris as Bianca giggled
"Do we have any news on Leo and the others?" asked Piper as the group exchanged worried glances between each other
"No honey but Wyatt and Melinda…" Phoebe's words were interrupted by the sound of orbs coming from down stairs

"Up there" 30 minutes ago
"The circle of truth could have been fooled" offered one of the elders
"Or you could be just a group of useless old farts?" countered Melinda
A highly confused Leo and an even more distraught Wyatt watched the conflict. Leo turned towards his future son with a puzzled expression expecting an explanation when none came he figured he should ask a question
"So your mother and I have another child?" he began
"Yeah dad you do Mel is the youngest in our family" answered while he helped Leo to his feet
"Err is she always" he started
"Like this?" Wyatt ended his question "Must the furry leftovers from three or four months ago… I hope " he answered as both men turned to look at Mel who was holding her own against the whole elder council
"This is bringing us nowhere" exclaimed a female elder as the whole council turned towards her
"And what do you propose we do my dear Manah" asked Odin while eyeing her with suspicion
"Until we can investigate further we must send Wyatt, Melinda and Leo back to San Francisco" the whole room broke out in whispers "I am sure that you wish to perform your own investigation" spoke Manah turning her attention towards the three
"Manah we cannot do this with out proper proof…"
"Proof my dear Odin as in the proof you had just offered us? The holograms were very persuasive but you didn't inform us of their origin nor have they came in your possession" she countered as Mel grinned and the other elders started to murmur in agreement some even sending agreeing nods Odin just fell silent
"I have told you that my informant prefers to remain anonyms…" he tried but was interrupted by Leo
"What of my sons?" he asked
"You cannot hardly think that we…" began Odin sounding scandalized
"Odin!" silenced him Manah almost instantaneously "Young Wyatt and Christopher will be of course returned to you" and with a wave of her hand both babies orbed next to Leos feet baby Wyatt gurgled happily "dada" while baby Chris made bubbles Leo quickly swooped up both boys in his arms after a couple of minutes he handed baby Wyatt to Melinda while he hugged baby Chris who seemed to be enjoying the attention. While big Wyatt looked at Mel who was just busy with making funny faces at his baby version
"Lets go home" said Leo as they left the chambers of the high council

The Manor, now
Piper, Chris, Bianca, Phoebe and Paige came running down stairs and quickly ran into the parlor where they could here voices
"Wyatt let go of my hair" was the first sentence Piper could hear from Mel who was trying to get little Wyatt to let go, but he seemed to be perfectly enjoying himself with puling on Melinda's red dyed hair that reached her shoulders
