Magic School
Chris walked down one of many halls of the magic school, black robes covering his usual clothes; well he thought it could have been worse after the initial shock Paige went on a rant worthy of his mother after she cooled down she gave Chris a new teachers post and a schedule of course she was forced to respect Chris wishes and not tell Piper and Leo she also forced him to promise her that he would tell them as soon as possible meaning at the end of the week (two days) when Piper was giving a big family dinner
"Chris?" asked a familiar voice
As he turned around he saw his father in golden elder robes handing a book to one of the younger student's
"Dad what are you doing here?"
"Chris what are you doing here?"
They asked simultaneously while Chris rolled his eyes at the thought of his aunt Paige Leo on the other hand was examining Chris new outfit
"Well I'm teaching here there is a teacher shortage in the magical community so some of us elders are filling in" Leo explained "So your aunt drafted you in?" he asked as Chris heard his aunt's voice "Tell them as soon as possible" in his head
"Well you could say that" he answered choosing a half-truth
"Oh I almost forgot…" jumped Leo suddenly "…your mother would have killed me, the family dinner was rescheduled for tonight 8 p.m. but she wants you guys there ant 7:30" Leo explained as Chris jaw drooped
"Does aunt Paige know?" he squeaked out as Leo slapped his hand on his head
"I should be lucky that I'm still in one piece" he replied jokingly not noticing that under his sons calm surface a storm was raging the outcome being that Chris would soon need any ally possible
"Err dad can I talk to you about something?" he asked, as Leo was to orb out
"Huh what? Yeah sure" he answered quickly as his orbs reformed on the spot

"Halliwell he wants you in now", said one of the detectives that left the chief of police's office
Wyatt nodded and went down the hall leading to the office of the new chief. The name Darryl Morris it had sounded vaguely familiar, he knocked at the door and entered
Morris sat behind his desk looking at some folder and reading something he looked shortly up above his reading glasses and gestured at Wyatt to sit down which he did. A couple of minutes past before Morris spoke
"Interesting record you got Halliwell" he spoke "Solved seven cases in six months of which five have been a couple of months old one even four years"
"Yes…"began Wyatt
"Don't interrupt me" he snarled as Wyatt immediately shut up "yet however all of this cases and evidence with them was circumstantial at beast, not to mention that the cases were weird on their own, yet you seem to always be able to catch the perpetrator mind explaining me how?"
"Don't know sir, good luck maybe?" was the only thing he answered, he couldn't tell the man that the four year old case had concerned a voodoo priestess with a plan to seize power by eating human hearts, nor that he was a witch-lighter now could he
"Don't give me attitude" snapped Morris as he eyed Wyatt with a glare that reminded him very much of his mothers
"I am still waiting for an explanation"
"The one you already think you know or the one you want to hear?" he asked "but of course is there a difference between the two?"
Wyatt was no idiot, although his sister insisted sometimes otherwise, he knew this game the old game of cat and mouse a game he learned to play at the age of eight with the legions of demons that flamed/shimmered/blinked through the Manor on a weekly basis
Morris looked at him completely still for moment before he said
"Hand me over your badge and weapon you're suspended until further notice" he spoke calmly as Wyatt simply looked at him

"…is pregnant"
It was out he told his dad now the only thing what remained was to see his reaction. Leo stood simply there in the deserted hallway then suddenly he jerked and shook his head
"What was that? Sorry son I've must have zoned out there for a second" his father replied as Chris looked at him stupidly "What did you say?"
"Bianca is pregnant and I'm the father!" he repeated
Leo stood there again then blinked
"Chris I'm really sorry I haven't been zoning out like that since the nineteen sixties" replied Leo a wary expression on his face Chris rolled his eyes
"Dad please listen to me; Bianca…my girlfriend…is pregnant…with…my…child" he said it as if he spoke to a moron
"Pregnant?" asked Leo as realization finally hit him, his face contracting
"Yes dad…" he closed his eyes and continued "…but before you start yes we know it has been incredibly stupid…Dad?" he asked as he opened his eyes again seeing the spot empty where his father stood, then he looked down Leo was currently lying on the floor
Leo had fainted

The Bay Mirror
Phoebe sat behind her desk as she juggled several phones and tried not to knock the pile of papers down. She was doing this job for three months now how Elise had managed to do it for twenty years was beyond her at this point she would be happy if she lasted the day
Her cell phone rang suddenly startling her; the cell phone was only for family and only to be called in the case of a demon she quickly put the other phones down and answered her cell
"What's going on?" she asked quickly
She relaxed as she heard Piper's voice that she only wanted to inform her that the family dinner was rescheduled for tonight an that she should bring some wine on the way over

The Magic School
Leo sat on a couch in Paige's office breathing heavily
"Dad are you okay?" asked Chris as his father raised his head
"You just told me that you my twenty one year old son and his twenty-three year old girlfriend are having a baby and you are asking me if I am okay?"
"Well you did faint" Chris answered
"Are you sure? I mean it isn't just…false alarm?" continued Leo while ignoring Chris's remark
"Dad her powers are waked, she displaying the ability to freeze time, orb has a force field and her stomach is showing not mention that she is burping orbs you could say we are pretty sure"
"Her stomach is showing? How far along is she?"
"Four months"
"Four months! FOUR months she's PREGNANT four months and you didn't tell us?" he asked his voice a mixture of hurt, anger and disappointment
"Dad you know how hectic the last couple of months were, with my memories going on a rampage, Wyatt's cases, Melinda's college, the new source not to mention Jamie's escapades" spoke Chris as Leo acknowledged his arguments
After several minutes which Leo greatly required to gather himself and to processes the information he just received then he looked at his son as if he was trying to recognize him. Chris jade green eyes met Leo's as Leo spoke
"I'm going to be a granddad!" he said with a shaky voice as he wrapped Chris into a hug
Ever since Chris he regained the memories from his old life he was being thrown out of the loop more easily then he wanted. His relationship with his family members hadn't changed much besides with Wyatt and his dad where before a close nit bond existed was now replaced with awkwardness although it had subsided recently but he still felt sometimes odd around the two of them. After a couple of seconds he wrapped his hands around his father and hugged him back grateful that he had this Leo as a father.

The Manor
Melinda once more used the attic. She sat behind a desk a pendulum in her hand, as she was scrying with and exhausted sigh she dropped the pendulum and her head on the map that was rolled out on the table
"How was your first day? Everything alright sweetie?" asked Piper as she entered the attic
"Aw well you know the usual: Met a couple of new people, met the new teachers, had a premonition of impending doom, got lost on the way to room 23…"
"WHAT?!" asked Piper as she spun around from the boxes to face her daughter
"Yeah I know I accidentally took the wrong turn and ended in the basement…" began Mel
"Not that! The premonition?" inquired Piper as she ignored her daughters sarcasm
"Five hooded guys on a pentagram that was drawn in blood doing some ceremony thing" explained Melinda as Piper visibly relaxed
"That's it no apocalypse or anything?" she asked as Mel rolled her eyes
"Nope just some demon cult" explained Mel
