Chapter 8

Fireballs, screams, potions, power blasting. Everywhere you looked there were demons. The attic of the halliwell family was a mess.

Wyatt had just entered the manor after seeing Chris when Prue ran past him, storming up the stairs. Wyatt, having been raised around demon fights, knew right away something was wrong and ran behind her, Prue already yelling what happened and who they were up against. Apparently Prue had saved some girl who she had classes with today from a demon clan when they walked to their cars, and now the demon clan was pissed off and like all demons did when angry they were probably thinking of a plan for their revenge. Prue was pissed off too, she just began to be friends with the girl, Jenny, and really didn't like the demon intervention, so like every time Prue was angry she was planning to hurt the ones who made her angry, look out demons. Wyatt sighed, just an ordinary day for a Halliwell.

After a whole evening searching for the right demon clan, making potions, thinking of spells Prue and Wyatt were getting tired, some other family members had come and helped them, but now it was late in the evening and they were the only one standing. "Do you really think we should summon them now? Do you know how late it is?" Wyatt whined, he just wanted to sleep. "Yes Wyatt I am aware of the time, but I really need this done today. This is like the tenth time demons stopped me from making new friends and I'm done with it!" Prue said, getting ready to summon. "Well let's get this show on the road then" Wyatt said, also getting ready for summoning.

I hope Chris decides to come and see me again, I really don't want to go another 9 years without my baby brother. Wyatt was thinking about his day and about Chris, so he was pretty distracted, not the best thing to do when you're in a demon fight. "Waytt! Look out!"Prue yelled, seeing two fireballs heading straight for her cousin, normally she wouldn't have to worry about Wyatt during the battle, but he seemed out of it, the fireballs heading his way were clear prove of that, Wyatt normally wouldn't even let them have the chance to fire. "WYATT!"she yelled again, but it was already too late the two fireballs had made it to its target and Wyatt yelled out in pain and fell to the ground, grasping his left shoulder and arm where he had been hit, blood oozed out of the wound and the rest was badly burned. "Nooo!" Prue yelled, trying to get to her fallen cousin but hitting a block, all the demons turned on her now and Prue was fighting for her life, seeing Wyatt's slipping away slowly. "Chris" it was all Wyatt managed to mutter before he succumbed to the numb darkness.

Meanwhile

Sophia and Jason woke up as soon as they felt the orbs surrounding them, running to their toys as they materialized. Chris looked at the clock, sighing when he saw it wasn't time for Bianca to be home yet. He ran his hand through his hair, today's events had put him on alert like in a fight, his nerves were going crazy and honestly it was exhausting him. He really felt the need to talk to Bianca, she would get him calm again so that he could think. Chris finally left the spot he had first materialized, he had been standing there for quite some time now. He went to find his kids to make sure they weren't braking any vases today or burning down the house. After some searching he found both kids in their rooms, for once they were just playing quietly as if they could sense their father's distress. "He kiddo, what are you doing?" Chris asked his son, this calm behavior was especially strange for him seeing as he normally couldn't sit still for more than 2 minutes. "Just playing with my cars" Jason replied, not even looking up. "Okay, well daddy is going to get started on dinner, so what would you like to eat today?" Chris asked, letting go of his suspicions, his kids could play calmly without plotting something… right? "Lasagna!" Jason answered, still playing with his cars. "Well, I'll be in the kitchen then, so if something is wrong you can find me there" Chris said, making his way to the door, with one last glance he left do go downstairs.

Half an hour later Chris just finished setting the table and making the lasagna, he was just getting the kids downstairs as the front door opened, revealing a very relaxed looking Bianca, she had really enjoyed he spa day and she would make sure she'd have another one. "Honey, I'm home" she yelled, laughing when she saw Chris stumbling down the stairs, two little kids hanging on to him. "Hi Bi, dinner is ready and on the table, so let's go!" he said, finally getting of the stairs and sending the kids to the dining table. He walked over to Bianca and sweetly kissed her, he decided he would tell her about his meeting later. "yeah lasagna!" they heard Sophia yell, Bianca and Chris laughed "Let's hurry before those little monsters eat everything" Bianca said laughing while they walked to the dining table "hé I'm not a monster!" Jason yelled, Chris just ruffled his hair. "So how was your day?" Chris asked, sitting down and starting to eat, the table was filled talking and laughter over stories of Bianca's day.

It was a couple of hours after dinner and Chris was putting Sophia and Jason to bed, he had just finished reading them a bedtime story. "Come on Jason, in bed, I'll be right back and I want to see you laying in that bed, do you understand?"Chris said, Jason nodded and Chris walked over to Sophia's room, he tucked her in, gave her a good night kiss on the head and put out the lights "Night daddy!" Sophia said, her eyes already getting heavy "night princess" Chris replied making his way to his son's room. When he walked in he saw his son had listened so he gave Jason a goodnight kiss too and left the room "Night Jason" he said, but Jason was already asleep. Chris smiled seeing his two babies asleep.

Bianca was making tea, normally she would have made coffee, but she had sensed Chris' distress and had the feeling something was wrong. He tried to cover it up in front of the kids but Bianca had seen right through it. She hoped that Chris would tell her what was bothering him, even if she needed to help him start, she really hoped he could tell her. Chris was really good at keeping secrets after all, but in the end his secrets always seemed to destroy him. Just as she made the tea Chris came downstairs and went to sit in the kitchen. He looked at Bianca and knew right away that she was on to him, so when he was presented with the tea he wasn't all that surprised. "So, do I need to tell you all that stuff about how you can trust me, and it is okay to tell me, or can we do this the easy way and you tell me now?" Bianca said, a smile on her face showed her she wasn't angry with him or anything. Chris smiled too, Bianca knew him so well. "Yeah, I guess I didn't fool you huh. I didn't really want to tell you right away, you seemed so happy and because of the kids" Chris began, Bianca just nodded she understood his reasoning and would probably have done the same thing "I understand that Chris, don't worry. But I just thought it would be good for you to talk about whatever that has you on edge" Chris chuckled nervously, he wasn't entirely sure how Bianca would take his story.

"I saw someone from my past today. I saw Wyatt" Chris said, getting right out with the big news, Bianca just sat there, her cup of tea stilled halfway to her mouth. Chris thought it was best to explain what had happened. "We went for your birthday shopping today, and no I'm not telling you what you're getting" Chris began his story, it got Bianca out of her shock and Bianca scowled, she really didn't like it when she didn't know something. "Anyways we just came from the shop where we found your present. We were walking for a while and then I thought I recognized some man as Wyatt, and well I probably should have ran as soon as that thought entered my mind, but I was just so shocked and well he saw me of course" Chris took a deep breath, and went on "I tried to get away but I was in a busy street and had no way of orbing and well I started to walk but Jason and Sophia were tired so I had to carry them, and well I'll just come out and tell you I couldn't get away. He started talking and well begging. I just couldn't really take that." Chris said, he was looking for understanding, hoping that Bianca understood. And she did, she understood as one of the best how Chris felt. She nodded "I do sweetie, I do" she said, hoping it would encourage Chris to go on, as it was obvious he wanted to tell more. "He was begging, and he is my big brother, my brother! How could I just let him beg and not say a thing? It was quite sad actually. So I told him, about us and how we moved in together and got married and that we got two beautiful kids. And he told me about how the family was coping and stuff. I'm a bit happy though, to know that they're all okay." Bianca nodded, she had been happy too when she has visited them a long time ago "He told me about Victor, and how he was now in a nursing home, a nursing home can you believe it, I know he is old and stuff but I would really have thought that the family would take care of him!" Chris was getting upset, it had been hard for him to see that his grandfather's health was so bad now, but he was especially upset to see that they had just put him away. "They put him in a nursing home? Wow harsh" Bianca said, she knew she shouldn't but that's just how she thought about it. Chris nodded, he was a bit shocked too. "Yeah they did. I went to visit him. I just couldn't let him die without really saying goodbye, without seeing him even if it was the last time. His health isn't that good anymore, which would be expected of course but yeah." He said, he was really happy that he had seen his grandfather again. Out of the whole family he was really the only one, who wasn't at fault. "It was hard to leave there again, I could just see that he didn't get much visitors" Chris said, he wanted to change that, but wasn't sure how to, because he didn't really know if it was a good thing to visit. "We'll change that" Bianca replied, determination clearly visible on her face. Victor had been the only good one for Chris, and the only one who hadn't been against her and their relationship. Chris just nodded, they would find a way. "Anyways I went to visit grandpa, and after sometime I realized what I really was doing, and well I just had to get away, so I said my goodbye to grandpa and left. Wyatt asked if he would ever see me again, but I don't know, I still don't know. Should I give him another chance, should I just forgive and forget, because really I don't know if I can even do that" Chris began rambling, he was lost of what to do. Bianca didn't really have an answer either, she knew Chris missed his family and honestly she didn't want to keep him away from them but she also didn't want to see him get hurt again. "I don't know honey, but you don't have to make a decision right away, just think about it, sleep over it. I'm sure in time your heart will tell you what to do. And if you want to see them again, or just Wyatt, that's okay, we'll make sure that happens. Just think about what you want" Bianca said, this decision couldn't be made in one night. She stood up, it was getting quite late and Bianca was really tired. "I'm going upstairs, just think about it and relax, everything will work itself out" Bianca said, kissing Chris before making her way to the stairs. "Night" Chris said, he needed to think for a bit. "Night" Bianca replied.

It was getting quiet in the house, but Chris was still sitting in the kitchen, thinking about his day and about his decision. Too much had happened between his family and himself, too much time had spent apart. Their lives had changed, they themselves had changed, if Chris was really honest, they could call each other strangers now. So was he willing to get to know them again? It was all up to him to decide. He was older now, he was stronger now, he wasn't that young man he once was who was too attached to his family, he wasn't that young boy that depended on his family too much. He had changed and his family couldn't hurt him anymore, so was he willing to let them in again? Chris sighed and for the umpteenth time ran his hand through his hair. Chris stood up, he wasn't going to decide this evening, it would take a while to get his thoughts in order, and a good night sleep would certainly help. As Chris put all the lights out and made his way upstairs to his room he thought about Victor, that was the one thing he had already decided about, he would change his grandfather's situation.
