Disclaimer: Nope not mine. looks around and waits Nope still not mine, well just Alex.

A/N: This takes place in the original timeline.

"Dammit, Chris! How could you do something so stupid?" Alex said, glaring at her friend.

"Hey, I was trying to find out what's going on with my brother!" Chris shot back.

"You got hurt!" She said as she finished bandaging the cut on his arm. "What were you thinking? Going into the underworld like that? And alone too."

"I don't need you mothering me." He growled.

Alex sighed, ever since Wyatt had turned 18 things had been getting stranger and stranger. It didn't help that Leo was always gone and Piper was dead. Which left Chris to the care of his grandfather, Victor, and herself and with Wyatt acting like he did...

"Look Victor's going to be home soon. Help me clean up?" She asked, softening her tone.

"Yeah, sure." Chris stood and swayed, then sat again. "Ohh maybe not."

Alex's glare returned full force as she cleaned up the first aid stuff and took it back into the bathroom. 'Bad enough that Wyatt seems to be going off the deep end and Leo being AWOL, but that doesn't mean he has to pull stunts like that! He could have gotten killed! Or worse kidnapped by some of those demons!' She walked back into the kitchen to find Chris bracing himself against the sink and a plastic glass tipped in the sink water pooled in it. "Sit back down." She growled out at him.

He jumped and looked at her like a kid with his hand caught in the cookie jar. She glared harder at him and he sat. "What? Like I said, I don't need you to mother me."

"Ok, how about me being a concerned friend? One who is extremely pissed at you for doing something so stupid like going into the underworld alone?" As she spoke she somehow moved until she was standing in front of the bar chair he was sitting in. It made them about eye level with one another.

"Look, I knew that you'd try and stop me if I told you. I thought I could go down there, follow Wyatt, find out what's going on, and come back without getting caught."

"That doesn't make it any less stupid!" She was half way shouting as she spoke. "You could have gotten captured or worse! You did get hurt! And..." She stopped abruptly when Chris kissed her. When they broke off for air she said "That doesn't make me any less mad at you, you know."

"I know." He replied, his eyes glinting.

She was about to start in again when he started kissing up and down her throat.

"Chris, stop! I'm supposed to be mad at you!" she said without any real conviction as he placed butterfly kisses along her jaw line.

"Mmmm." Was the only response from him, never stopping what he was doing.

"Chrissss." His name came out like a hiss as he stood and orbed them to his bedroom. She fell back when her knees hit the bed.

A few hours later they laid wrapped in each others arms under the blankets when they heard the front door unlock and open.

"Chris?" Victor's voice called out. "Chris you home?"

"Yeah, Grandpa. Be there in just a minute!" Chris called back. "Now, still mad at me?" He asked smirking.

"I stopped being mad at you after you kissed me." She said. "Won't he get upset at you for having me over?"

"No, just as long as he doesn't wind up with any great-grandchildren."

She swatted him. "Get up and get dressed." she said as she reached for her clothes to do just that.

He kissed her neck and wrapped his arms around her after doing the same. "Will you always be like that?"

"Like what Chris?"

"Yell at me when I need it, and still love me at the end of the day? Or better yet let me love you?"

She turned to face him then placed a chaste kiss on his lips. "Always, just don't do anything too stupid ok?"

"Sure thing. I love you, Alex."

"I love you, Chris" He preceded her out of the room and so didn't hear her say "I'll even love you after you leave me." She left the room shutting the door behind her, putting on a smile. She didn't notice Piper forming, smiling sadly.

"Don't worry Alex, you won't loose him forever." She whispered, then disappeared.
