I know it's rather short cut, but I'll do another story to talk about dealing with the truth about Chris. Anyways, enjoy ...

When Milly opened her eyes she found herself lying on the Halliwell sofa once again.

She was alone in the winter garden and glanced at the glass of milk and cookies beside her. They were taking good care of her, she thought and smiled. As she remembered what happened she got up. What was up with Chris? Was he okay? She ran around, passed the dining table and entered the kitchen. She backed off, when she heard Piper and Leo whispering conspirative to Chris. Thank God he was alive, she thought, but this conversation seemed to be serious and not for strangers. Yet, Milly was way too curious to walk away. So she stayed and eavesdropped them.

"Chris, there is something we need to tell you...", Piper said in a low tone.

"I know that I shouldn't have left her alone, I know that this was all my fault", Chris said in the typical voice, when children talk to their parents, which reminded Milly so much of herself.

"It's not that, son", Leo told him.

"Your father's right. First I have to apologize. Although it never was in my intention to hurt you ever -and you have to believe me- it might came across that we favor Wyatt over you and Julie. And the reasons for that are obviously that we are always worried about your brother. And why we worry is...", Piper stopped and it sounded like she was crying.

"It's complicated, but we think we should make you see, what our reasons where...", Leo took over the word.

Milly took a glimpse at them and suddenly saw, that Leo was forcing Chris, who was totally shocked by it, to drink something out of a ceramic cup.

As Chris fell to the floor, shaking, Milly entered the kitchen with her right hand threatening high in the air, as if she wanted to freeze them and said with all courage she could find: "Who are you, what did you do to Chris?"

"Oh Milly", Piper said slowly, "Calm down please!"

"No! Tell me what you did to him"

"I'll explain if you take your hand down, right, young lady?", Piper said strict in her motherly tone.

Milly hesitated but took it down: "Explain!"

Piper sighed: "You see the world we are living in today is just how it is because of Chris. I've never seen the future he came from, but it must've been horrible. It must've been so bad, that Chris saw no other way out than coming to the future to save us all. And he did."

"What?", Milly didn't understand one word the Charmed one was saying.

"Twenty-two years ago a man came to us, we didn't knew who he was, but he said he came to keep Wyatt from being evil and make our world live in hell. We could never believe Wyatt would turn out evil, but we saw his point, Wyatt was blessed with the mightiest powers ever and it would be deadly destructive, if he turned out be evil. The young man did everything he could to achieve his aim, even sent Leo to a distant island. It happened that Leo and me broke up and noone thought we would ever have a second child. But, you know, it happened, and it was the young man, that told me I was pregnant. So I wondered where he knew this from...and then he told us. He was Chris. Our future son. Sure it was hard to believe at first but it made sense. He finally saved Wyatt and us and the whole world and we were about to send him back here...but he was killed before we could save him. He died in Leo's arms."

Milly was speechless.

"On the same day I gave birth to little Chris and we figured he wasn't lost. Though his memory was. Chris from unchanged future died and our Chris doesn't know, what he did and that's why he got so frustrated.", Piper said.

"It's really complicated, but we had to show him, so he knows, that he is important and..."; Leo ran out of words.

"And now, we are letting him live over his old life."

"Okay..."; Milly tried to keep it together, "Chris was obviously hurt and envied Wyatt. So you are showing him, how he saved us all so that he no longer does so."

"Yes."

"How long will this take?"

"Depends"

"Does Wyatt know?"

"We told him."

"Oh...", Milly said, imagining how it must be for someone like Wyatt to know that he had actually the potential to be the most evil creature on the face of the earth. But the feeling that pained her mostly was the concern about Chris.

Five hours later, Chris was still lying in Tara's bed and slept. Or whatever it was he did.

Milly sat on the bed and looked at him, just the way she did the last few hours.

Suddenly Chris opened his eyes.

"My Goodness!", he said breathless and without realizing that a girl sat beside him, who's eyes had start to light up, when she saw he was awake.

"Chris?", she said, trying to capture his attention. He quick turned around to her, and it took a while until he knew where he was.

"Chris, are you okay?", Milly's voice softened.

"Kind of. Where is everybody?"

"Downstairs. I can call for them!"

"No. It's okay, I'd like to be alone now."

"Oh, alright, er...I wait outside", she got up from the bed.

"No", he said once again and held her wrist, "I'd like you to stay"

Milly was flattered and she hurried to sit down beside him.

"I wonder why they didn't tell me..."

"That you saved us?"

"Yah..."

"Well, they told you now. How was it"

"So weird. It was like remembering something I did, but never really did. I was myself, but so not myself, you know, it was all Fast forward. I led a completely different life. And Wyatt was so evil.", he gave her a slight smile.

"But you know now, what you did."

"I do...and it feels good, but it doesn't take away the times when they let me down."

"But you can see their point now."

"That's true, and after all I love them. But it must be hard for Wyatt to know this."

"They said they told him..."

"God, I did all this", he looked around with pride and Milly laughed.

"And you did it for them and they owe you so much and they are thankful, I guarantee, I am thankful too."

"I'm thankful, too, Milly."

"For the memories?"

"Yap...and that I even got the chance to remember", he said, taking her hand, "And that's because of you."

She totally blushed.

"Chris...I think I broke your rule", she said quietly giving him a timid look.

"Well", he said and smiled from one ear to another, "Me too..."

Sorry Amantine, I hope it isn't too cheesy...REVIEWS WANTED smiles, thank you!!
