While Wyatt is kissing his girlfriend, Chris is dealing with his twin. She shouldn't have to suffer like this. Kristin?
The fact that she ignored him told him she was hurting and just a little terrified at what had nearly happened again. Kristin, talk to me. Don't shut me out. Please don't shut me out now.
Why me?
Chris sighs, she raised a good question, why did she have to suffer? Why was she always the target? I don't know, but I do know that I love you, sis. I also know that if it's within my power I will not let anything happen to you.
Wyatt walks in then and looks at Chris. Chris sighs again, Wy, not now. She is still barely dealing with what happened to her before this and now nearly getting raped on top of everything else……
Wyatt nods and heads upstairs to do his homework. Chris could handle Kristin. When Chris' cell phone rings half an hour later he groans as he sees it's their mother, calling from the restaurant, Mom, I can't. Kristin needs me.
Piper's angry thoughts make Chris flip his phone open, " What the hell
happened? "
" Avery Archer, he nearly succeeded in raping her, Mom. If Wyatt and I had gotten there any later then we had then things could have been worse. " Chris says.
" I hope he got expelled. " Piper snaps.
" Oh, he was a warlock, Wyatt and I vanquished him. " Chris says.
" Chris, if you don't come in I'll be short three chefs. " Piper says.
Chris groans, " Okay, I'll work it out. "
Piper hangs up and Chris shuts his phone, " Wyatt! "
Wyatt orbs down, " Yes? "
" Mom's short handed, you can't cook, and Kristin needs me, so, there needs to be two of me. " Chris says.
Wyatt sighs and nods, " I'll watch her while you go do what you have to do. "
Chris nods, " Hear these words, hear the rhyme, Heed the hope within my mind, send me back to where I'll find, what I wish through place and time. "
Chris looks around at his surroundings and again checks the newspaper for the date, two weeks left before he and Kristin were born. So, where would the older Chris be? He orbs to the attic and finds pretty much the entire family there, except for his mother, " Hey. "
The nineteen year old Chris whips around, " What are you doing here? "
" Oh, I just need to have a double for a bit. Too many responsibilities pulling me in too many directions. " the younger Chris replies.
The older Chris groans, " I'm needed here. "
" No, our twin needs one of us, and mom needs me to cook for her restaurant. " the younger Chris snaps.
The older Chris blinks and then nods when Leo stops him, " Twin? "
The older Chris groans, " Twin sister actually, Kristin. More later, looks like I'm needed. "
" Damn straight. " the younger Chris mutters and grabs his older self, " Hear these words, hear the rhyme, send us to my own time. "
Wyatt blinks, " Okay, who's staying with Kristin and who's going to cook for mom? "
The older Chris sighs, " I'll stay. "
The younger Chris nods, " Then there's some information that you'll need. "
When the older Chris gets slammed with all that information he gasps, " She's suffered that much. Damn, not even the evil Wyatt made her suffer that much. "
Younger Chris races upstairs, grabs his hat and apron and orbs out. Wyatt shakes his head, " Well, things just keep getting stranger around here. "
" It's still strange to see you standing there, not dressed all in black, with a goatee and mustache, trying to kill me for having the audacity to go back in time and stop you from turning evil. " the older Chris says, gently approaching Kristin. Wyatt sighs as even this Chris can pass through her powers protection no problem, " What? "
" You mean other than the fact that her powers trust you and don't put up a barrier that sends you sailing, anyone who isn't Christopher Perry Halliwell, actually. " Wyatt says and then he stops, hearing the familiar jingle, " I'll be back. "
The older Chris watches him orb out and he looks down at his twin, " I had hoped by changing things you wouldn't have to suffer. "
Kristin looks up, " I, at least, had you, even if it took a Nightmare Ghoul telling us that we're twins. Talk about hearing it from a source ya shouldn't. "
" A nightmare Ghoul told you two? "
" Not even a week ago. " Kristin remarks.
" Damn! "
Wyatt reforms at his girlfriend's side and using his energy pulse disintegrates the warlocks and demons surrounding her and then he heals her. When she's fully healed Denise looks up and before she can say anything he gets hit with a darklighter's arrow. Wyatt orbs out with her and barely makes it back to the Manor. Denise yanks the arrow out as older Chris and Kristin come to investigate, " He got caught off guard. "
Kristin sighs and kneels down beside him, holding her hands over him to heal him, using her own powers and his, before she can finish she orbs out and reappears, athamé in hand, " Aunt Paige, family emergency time! "
Paige orbs in, " Finish healing Wyatt while I find my lovely darklighter friends. Better yet, athamé get to work, " she throws it and it immediately starts to seek out and vanquish all darklighters within the Manor. Kristin whips around into an aerial spin kick and sends a demon sailing.
" When the hell did your senses and reflexes get this sharp? " the demon asks.
" Since I helped her get past all her emotional hang ups, I'm an excellent listener, plus, I helped her remember more of the timeline I grew up in. If she could handle an evil Wyatt, she can handle you. " the older Chris says as his twin blows the demon up.
Kristin's sixth sense flares wildly and she gasps, " No, hell, no. Not him, not now! "
" Hello, Kristin. "
Older Chris backs away, out of sight, until he can feel his twin dying. He goes to the unconscious Wyatt, the good one, " Wake up, Kristin needs you. "
The good Wyatt blinks and then takes in the scene before him. Then he orbs his sister away from the evil Wyatt before unleashing an Energy Pulse. The evil Wyatt looks at him, " So, this is what I turn out to be as a good witch, how revolting. "
Kristin gets her second wind and fires off energy ball after energy ball at the evil Wyatt, " Hear these words, hear my cry, send him back to his alternate time, send him now, send him true, before he ends up like Aunt Prue! "
Wyatt blinks again, " Damn, Kristin, he nearly killed you. "
" I know, I pissed him off, majorly, " she says as she catches her athamé, " I stole the Book of Shadows and Excalibur right out from under his nose. "
The older Chris looks at her in shock, " You did what? "
" Yeah, I stole the Book of Shadows and Excalibur right out from under him. Royally pissed him off, might I add. If not for the intervention of my lovely whitelighter then, Aunt Prue, I would have died, but at least then I wouldn't come back into the past to help you and avoid Wyatt. "
" I thought I've been sensing you around. " the older Chris admits, " Now, you sure you're not just using the alternate personality to hide from your problems? "
" I'm not. " Kristin says too fast for the older Chris' liking.
" Bull, you can't fool me. You won't fool the other Chris either. "
" I'm not the only one that hides from my problems, he can't handle his emotions, he draws his strength from me so he can siphon off the emotional overload from me. " Kristin snaps.
Wyatt takes a step back, some instinct warning that this would turn out very badly. Paige joins Wyatt, his shield could defend them both. Older Chris gulps, he'd started this and he would have to finish it. " Good grief, it's scary how similar we turned out to the first time around, huh? "
" Yeah, right, my life the first time around was easier to deal with because no one had a better life than me. This time around, I could feel the happiness and that made my suffering all the worse! "
Older Chris looks at her, " Kristin…. " he trails off, at loss for what to say to her. She was right, misery had been the only emotion around her the first time around, but to have others happy while she was suffering would make it worse for her.
" What, no comment? No answers! " Kristin says.
Now, even her own twin begins to back away from her in fear. " Kristin, you had some happiness, if I know Chris at all, I know he wouldn't let your life be completely miserable. " Wyatt says.
" Chris was the only good thing in my life for years. I went through hell all because of Grams! I nearly died on my thirteenth birthday! "
The younger Chris had just orbed into the kitchen and he hears this. His eyes widen in shock. He'd known it was bad, but not that bad. Wyatt takes a step forward,
" How? "
Kristin sighs, " My stupid adoptive uncle took me by surprise, I never stood a chance. I had actually given up hope of survival, after years of getting slammed around I knew how serious my injuries were. I was hanging on by a mere thread and then my athamé just came to life, it fought him off. I don't remember what happened next. "
The younger Chris walks in, " I came with a blindfolded Wyatt, I told him we were playing Blind Man's Bluff, and I had him heal you. I never realized how weak it would leave him, how close to death you were. "
The older Chris stares in shock, " Damn. Well, I have to go now. "
Paige grins, " Take care, oh nephew of mine, or I'll come back and kick your
ass. "
The older Chris grins and goes to hug his favorite aunt, " I will. "
" Oh, and stop obsessing over demon hunting. " Paige teases.
" Hear these words, hear the rhyme, Heed the hope within my mind, send me back to where I'll find, what I wish through place and time. "
" Well, some issues have come out. " Wyatt says.
" True, but I have a feeling there are many, many more. " Paige says, as Kristin's athamé flies back into her hand.
Chris walks over to his twin, You have to let it all out.
I can't, my emotions and powers are firmly tied together. I lose control of one and I'll lose control of the other.
While the twins converse Denise looks at Wyatt, " I don't suppose you could take me home? "
Wyatt grins and as he kisses her he orbs out. Paige laughs, " I can just imagine the next generation now. "
Chris and Kristin both look at her, " What does that mean? "
Meanwhile at Denise's the young couple is just reforming as demons shimmer in. Wyatt's shield kicks in and both look around, startled, " Damn, why the hell are they after you all of a sudden? " Wyatt asks.
Denise sighs and waves her hand as all the demons move in for the kill. Vines come to life and grab athamé's strategically lying around. The vines vanquish the demons and Denise sighs again. Wyatt looks at her, " What is going on? "
Denise meets his gaze at last and tries to find the right way to say this. " Well, Wyatt, I'm pregnant. "
Wyatt's eyes widen at this and then he faints. Denise groans, " Wyatt, you're the Twice Blessed child and you can't handle the simple news that you're going to be a father. "
Wyatt groans, " I didn't dream that? "
" No, you didn't. " Denise says.
" Mom is going to kill me. " Wyatt says.
" Well, you're going to have to tell your family. That's why they're after me. "
Wyatt sighs as he runs his hand through his hair, " Damn, I never expected this. "
" Neither did I. " Denise retorts.
" How do we deal with this? We both still have college to get through. " Wyatt says.
" We will, somehow. " Denise remarks.
Wyatt sighs again as he stands up, " You must promise me you will not hesitate to call me if you need me. "
Denise smiles, " Hey, don't worry too much. The Halliwells aren't the only ones with pyrite crystals. "
" Promise me. " Wyatt repeats.
" All right, I promise I will call you if I need you. "
Wyatt smiles and orbs off after giving her one last kiss. To Wyatt's surprise the entire family was there, well, his aunts, mom, and siblings. Guys, can you possibly distract Aunt Paige and Aunt Phoebe. I need to talk to mom alone.
Chris and Kristin drag their aunts off and Piper looks at her oldest son, " All right, Wyatt, what's up? "
" Mom, we need to talk. "
Piper sighs, " All right, spill it. "
Wyatt, after making sure his shield was ready to come up at a moment's notice, sighs, " It's like this, demons have been attacking Denise left and right. "
" She okay? "
" She's fine, Mom. " Wyatt replies.
" Then what's the point to this little tale? " Piper asks, getting impatient.
" They went after her for a specific reason. " Wyatt hedges.
" Such as? " Piper asks, her patience practically gone.
" Denise is pregnant. "
" Wait, what was that? I'm sure I didn't hear you right. I'm sure I didn't hear you say that your girlfriend is pregnant. "
" You did. "
Piper takes a deep breath and Wyatt puts his shield up, " WYATT MATHEW HALLIWELL! "
Paige, Phoebe, Chris, and Kristin all race to the kitchen, where the little conversation is taking place in time to hear Piper shout, " How in the hell could you be so irresponsible? You're not even out of High School and you tell me you're going to be a father! "
The audience all look at one another as things around Piper start to blow up. Wyatt's shield protects him, but Kristin and Phoebe aren't nearly so lucky. Of course, Kristin was smart enough to shield her eyes, but that meant that the shrapnel from Piper's temper nearly punctured her corroded artery. Paige heals Phoebe instantly, whom had gotten grazed by flying shrapnel. Chris noticed at the same time his twin collapses into him, " Damn, Wyatt. "
Wyatt whips around and his eyes widen, even as he drops his shield and goes to his sister. Piper gasps in horror, " Oh no, I never meant for that to happen. "
" She knows, " Chris says, " Wyatt, you have to keep a minimal healing going while we get that out of there. "
" Paige, go get Leo. He's the one who was trained as a doctor. He should do
this. " Piper orders.
Paige orbs out and back in with Leo, " What the hell happened? "
" I lost my temper when Wyatt told me he's going to be a father and Kristin got hit with the aftershock. " Piper answers, " I will deal with you later, Wyatt. "
Wyatt winces as Leo pulls the debris out. Wyatt fully heals his sister as Leo assimilates what Piper had just told him. " Wyatt! "
" Hey, can we focus on the fact that demons and warlocks are after my girlfriend because she is pregnant with my child. " Wyatt snaps, " Look, it's not like I meant for this to happen, but in this family, every happens for a reason, even the stuff that shouldn't. Aunt Paige wouldn't be here if not for grandma breaking the rules. "
Patty, having walked up while no one was paying attention, says, " Wyatt's right, everything happens for a reason. "
While Patty talks to the adults Wyatt and his sibs orb to his room, Wyatt casts the eavesdropping prevention spell and looks at his younger siblings, " What, nothing to
say? "
" No, because, Wyatt, in another three years, due to a deal I made with the Angel of Destiny I will be getting my two year old son back. " Kristin says.
" Do I want to know what happened to his father? " Wyatt asks.
The look his younger siblings shared told him he didn't want to know, " Guys, how do we protect her? "
" Well, you are both eighteen. Just get married, that way she can move in and we'll be able to protect her easier. " Chris says, stating the most obvious and simple solution, in theory, at least.
