Melinda's POV

Chris instantly was at my side, and tried to help me up, but ended up hurting himself. "Chris…you dumb ass," I said, as I pulled myself up, and steadied him. I could feel everyone's eyes on me as I walked Chris over towards Dad.

"I am not letting him heal me again," Chris murmured darkly. Dad…healed Chris? Oh…Dad from our time.

"Chris…you need your strength," I said gently. "Please…" I said giving him puppy eyes. Chris let out a sigh, and nodded.

"Mel…who is this?" Mom asked me as we got near her. She grabbed my arm and stopped me from getting to Dad. Chris looked at her, and I could tell he wasn't too keen on Mom and the Aunts finding out about him, but I can't lie. "Melinda Halliwell," her tone going dark.

"This is Christopher Halliwell…my older brother," I said, and Mom gaped at me in shock. "Why did you think I wanted to go back so bad?" I asked her. I knew Chris was glaring at me, mad that I revealed who we were so fast. Mom stayed silent and I tried to pull Chris towards Dad again.

He struggled in my grip, and I tried to tighten my grip on him, but he started to orb away. I flicked my wrists at him, instantly stopping his orb trail. "Mel…" he started.

"Chris…please just let Dad heal you," I pleaded.

"He isn't my dad…" Chris muttered.

"Chris…" I heard Mom say and instantly he backed away from her. I knew Chris was going to have trouble being here. Mom dying was hardest on him…he couldn't heal Mom…and Dad didn't come when we called for him. He was too busy in our time for us.

"Stay away from me," Chris shot as Dad came closer to us. "Mel…please unfreeze my powers…so I can orb myself away from him," I tightened my grip on Chris's good arm, and he gave me a pleading look. He was going to be mad if I don't let him go…but I don't want him to be hurt…especially if a demon comes around. Well Mom, Aunt Phoebe and Aunt Paige are more than capable of stopping a demon, but if one from our time comes and tries to attack Mom, or anyone else in our family…they are going to need help. "Mel…please…"

"I am not letting you go anywhere until you get healed. If I let you go…what if Wyatt sent a demon for you?" Chris just continued to glare at me as Dad hands went over Chris, healing the wounds Wyatt and Bianaca had inflicted. As soon as he was done being healed, he orbed off. "Chris!" I shouted at his orbing form. Oh he always orbs off when he doesn't get his way, totally not fair that he and Wyatt can orb. God damn it. "Chris do not make me summon your ass back here!"

"Any more siblings you wish to inform me about?" Mom asked tightly.

"That's it for you Mom, only us three," I sighed. "But never mind about that, we need to go get Chris!" Mom let out a sigh.

"Just leave him alone for a while Mel…he'll calm down," Mom said.

"Normally I would agree, but with Wyatt viewing into the future, we need to stick together," Dad stayed silent and I felt bad for him, but if I asked Dad to orb with me to go get Chris, he would be even more pissed at me. "Aunt Paige…do you think you can orb me to the Golden Gate Bridge?"

"Why don't I orb you?" Dad asked me, and he looked like he wanted to talk to Chris. I could tell by the look in his eyes. Last time I had tried to get Dad to talk to Chris…it didn't work out too well. Dad ended up with a broken nose and I ended up with Chris hardly talking to me a week.

"Dad…I know from past experiences with Chris, that you need to let him come to you. Aunt Paige…please orb me to the Golden Gate Bridge," I said turning to Aunt Paige. She nodded and grabbed my hand. Before we orbed, I turned back to Dad. "Don't follow us Dad…" I warned and we orbed to The Golden Gate Bridge, to find Chris sitting near the edge. I walked over to him and sat down next to him. I saw Paige walk over next to him, and we just stayed silent for a while.

Just as I was about to say something to Chris, I heard someone else orb in. I instantly turned around to see Dad orbing in. My eyes nearly bulged out of my head, and instantly I threw my hand out freezing him. Chris turned around, and saw Leo.

"You let him come along?" Chris started to rant.

"Mel told him to stay behind…he didn't listen," Aunt Paige said jumping to my defense. Chris took a deep breath.

"I'm sorry I snapped at you," he apologized. "I just don't want to deal with him you know?" Chris said.

"Yeah…I know," I told him. "So how about we orb back to the manor, and momentarily give him the slip? Besides, you need to talk with Mom. I don't want her thinking that you hate her," I said to Chris gently.

Chris's POV

"Mom doesn't think that does she?" I asked her. I don't want Mom thinking that I hate her…

"No…she is just in shock still," Mel said, "but you need to talk with her Chris," she told said. I nodded, and sighed. "It will all work out," she said. "Now…go orb home and talk to Mom. I'll stay here with Dad, and makes sure that he doesn't orb in and interrupt the conversation. If it comes to him trying to orb his way into it, I'll freeze him on the spot ok?" she said with a laugh.

"Thanks sis," I say to her pulling her in for a quick hug, and a kiss on the cheek. "Thanks for bringing her out her Aunt Paige," I said turning to her. She gave me a smile, and stood up.

"Well I will see you guys at home," she said and orbed away.

"See you in a little while Mel," I said as I orbed towards the manor. I orbed into the kitchen and saw Mom getting some jello for Wyatt. She turned to me, and I could tell she was unaware of how to talk with me, and it was weird just coming in and saying that hey I'm your second son. Slowly she walked towards me and wrapped her arms around me, and I do not know how she knew that was the exact thing I needed. I leaned into the hug, once again being with my mom…who I hadn't seen since I was fourteen.

"I missed you Mom," I whispered, and she tightened her hold on me.

Mel's POV

As I looked towards the Golden Gate Bridge, I waited for Dad to unfreeze. Hopefully he won't be stupid and try to go after Chris, and if he does…I am going to have to freeze him again. If I know Dad, he is going to try and go after him. So…time to do what Mom taught me to do, curling my fingers, I unfroze his head. "Mel…what's going on?" he asked, probably noticing that he couldn't orb or move anything below his neck. He looked pissed off. "Can you please unfreeze me?" he asked angrily.

"So you can go piss off my brother sure," I said sarcastically. "No…Dad you have to let Chris come to you," I said to him.

"Mel…" he said sternly.

"I am not going to unfreeze you until I know you aren't going to go after Chris," I sighed. "Dad you should know that with Chris…he was raised with you hardly being around for him. You were there for me, and you were there for Wyatt…" Dad's face softened, and I could tell he wasn't going to go. "Just let him come to you ok?" he nodded, and I unfroze him fully. "Sorry Dad…I know you really hate being frozen," I apologized after a minute. Dad put his arms around me, and I hugged him back.

Chris's POV

I squeezed onto my Mom and she just continued to hold me. She pulled away a little bit, and just looked at my face. I really wasn't sure what to say to her, and she knew it as well. I just hope she doesn't ask me why would I miss her…I really don't want to be the one to tell her that she died in my arms. Mom suddenly once again wrapped her arms around me and brought me close to her. "I know something bad happened…" Mom started, and I tried to get out of her grip, but she held onto me. "And I am not going to badger you about it, because that never works with kids…so when you are ready to tell me what happens…I'll be here," she told me. She wasn't going to force me to tell her what's wrong…she has always been like this.

"I love you Mom," I whispered as she held me.
