Chapter 5: meet and greet

All the way into Port Angeles Wyatt shot question after question at Chris, about his old life, his school, any old boyfriends (he already knew that his little brother was gay, after a teary phone call from him once his mother and step father found out and blew a gasket)....

Chris was taking a drink of soda when the last question was fired at him. He was so shocked that he nearly choked... "WHAT!!!" He shouted as his father laughed at him and his brother looked at him with a smug amused grin on his face.

"I saaaaiiiidddd, did you leave behind a boyfriend that I need to have words with, to warn him against hurting my baby brother?"

"No. I've...I've never had a boyfriend." Chris mumbled into his soda can. Wyatt's jaw dropped, and Leo nearly slammed the breaks on in shock. They couldn't believe it.

"What? Why?" Wyatt asked.

"Wyatt, do you have any idea how hard it is to be a shy, nearly invisible, short, skinny, accident prone, and gay in the middle of san Francisco? Besides none of the guys there caught my eye."

"Well, I can't say that I am against that, I like the fact that my baby boy is not dating anyone, it will help me sleep at night...especially since......." He trailed off and looked over the Chris to see if he had caused any offence.

Chris just sighed deeply, "You can say it dad...since you found out I'm a bearer."

An uncomfortable silence settled in the car. Both Wyatt and Leo were trying to think of something to say to cheer Chris up, while Chris was thinking about the reactions of his classmates back in San Francisco when they found out they had a bearer in the class. He was treated like a social leper for weeks...he was dreading the reaction of the people in a small town, the news will travel faster than in his old school.

Wyatt and Leo knew about what happened for Chris back in Baker High, they received many teary phone calls from him for months, the rejection from his classmates tore him apart. They knew that Chris was not ashamed of himself, infact they were aware that he was proud of his gift, it was the other kids reactions that they were fearful for.

They were all snapped out of their macabre thoughts when they pulled up outside of the mall. "Well, here we are then, how about we go and get some lunch first and then we can go shopping, huh?" Leo proposed.

"Sure. I'm starved!" Wyatt exclaimed.

Chris scoffed and rolled his eyes at his brother. "Wyatt, you're always hungry." He stated as he climbed out of the truck and laughed at the false innocent expression on his brother's face, completely unaware that his laughter granted him the attention of a bronze haired vampire from across the lot.

Leo soon joined his youngest in his laughter as he walked around the truck to join him. When he reached Chris's side he wrapped his arm around his shoulders and said "It's so good to have you with us again, it's become boring when it's just me annoying your brother."

"Hey." Was Wyatt's indignant reply.

"I'm glad to be here dad. Now how about some food, before Wyatt dies from hunger."

"Amen to that." Wyatt said as he put his brother in a headlock and smiled at the laughter that came from that action.

Leo smiled affectionately at both of his sons and then decided to break them up. "Alright Wyatt let your brother go, we have a lot to get through today." Wyatt pouted but still let go of his brother and smiled as Chris attempted to glare at him and straighten his hair out. The effect was ruined completely with the small smile on the corner of his lips.

They made it to the food court with no more mishaps, almost as soon as they sat down the waitress came over and asked for their order. Wyatt began flirting heavily with the pretty blonde, Leo and Chris looked at each other and rolled their eyes. Wyatt and Leo both ordered a large stake with fries and salads, while Chris ordered a Caesar salad. As soon as he said this he looked up to the astounded faces of his father and brother. "What?" He asked defensively.

"No wonder you are so small and skinny, you don't eat nearly enough." Wyatt stated as he pushed a side of bread towards him that the waitress just dropped off at the table. Chris just rolled his eyes at the pair and then exaggeratedly took a bite of a slice of bread; he smirked at the pair of them when they both gave him looks which clearly stated 'smart ass'.

After they finished their meals, the trio headed out of the food court and Leo asked Chris where it was that he wanted to go to first. "Music store." He answered without hesitation. Wyatt and Leo shared a look over Chris's head, both wearing affectionate smiles and looks that stated 'why did we even ask'. As soon as Chris was born he loved to listen to music. Sometimes that was the only thing that would get him to sleep as a child, especially when he was sick. It was nice for them to know that he really hadn't changed a lot.

Chris browsed through the various music sections for a good half an hour before he noticed someone was watching him. Thinking that it was just his father or brother, he looked up curiously trying to find where the gaze was coming from. Imagine his shock when he found his father and brother engaged in a hushed conversation on the opposite side of the store, not paying the smallest amount of attention on him. 'Hmm I must be going crazy'. Mentally shrugging his shoulders he continued down the aisle he was in and picked up the latest CD from Nickleback 'Dark Horse' that he hadn't had a chance to pick up yet. He was in the middle of reading the song list when he felt eyes on him again.

He looked up puzzled and searched the room for a sign of the one watching him. He scanned many faces in the room, none of which were paying attention to him in the least, it was then that he made eye contact with the most gorgeous pair of golden eyes, he ever saw.

There across the room from him was the most stunning creature that Chris had ever seen, and the same creature was the one staring so intently at him from across the room. Chris flushed a beautiful shade of scarlet and looked down, missing the small crooked smile his action provoked from the one watching him so intently.

Unaware to both Chris and Edward, both of their families watched the brief exchange with fond smiles on their faces; Leo and Carlisle met eyes across the room and smiled at each other, acknowledging each other's presence. They looked away from each other when in their peripheral vision they saw Edward start across the room towards a furiously blushing Chris, who was trying and failing to blend into the background.

In only a few strides Edward was by Chris's side, Chris noticing a pair of expensive looking shoes in front of him looked up, straight into the smiling eyes of a Greek God.

"Hello."

A/N so how do you think I did there. Did I pull it off or did I make it seem stupid.

Next chapter: Edwards P.O.V. of his first sight of Chris. The Cullen's, Leo and Wyatt's POV of the meeting in the music store. I may also put up a list of all of the major changes in the Halliwell history that will involve this story. As well as to an explanation about whether or not there will be magic in this story.

Yes. I have mentioned that Chris is a 'bearer', this means that in the fantasy world that this story is involved with, Chris will be one of the rare males that are able to give birth. I love Mpreg stories so I wanted to keep my options open for the rest of the fic. So I am warning you now this fic has a high possibility of being Mpreg in the future...just thought I should let you know.
