"Chris?" Leo asked in confusion when he saw his wife orb in with his youngest son. The Elders had stripped White Lighter powers from Chris, Wyatt and Paige's three children, because they feared allowing the mortals to be too powerful.

"Hey, Dad, how've you been?" Chris asked.

"Good," Leo answered, puzzled, "You?"

"I remember, you know? How you cried when I was dying. How you didn't want to leave me alone, even though you knew that you had to find Wyatt." Chris informed his father, "I know from sharing memories that you turned out to be a really great dad."

Leo grabbed his son to him in a fierce hug, tears suddenly in his eyes. "Your death almost destroyed me," he confessed, still holding his son close. Leo wasn't exagerating. The death of his selfless time traveling son had affected Leo so badly that he'd barely been able to hold the baby version of him, who coincidentally was born on the same day. Leo's whole life had turned upside down in his grief, he had questioned his own beliefs. Recruited to becoming an Avatar, creatures of nuetral power, he had helped bring Utopia to the world. The problem was neither he nor the Charmed Ones, whom he convinced to help him in the endeavor, after he had proven that he was no longer insane, had read the fine print. The version of Utopia that was offerred was not one that any of them would have agreed to. It was this 'demon free' existence, which was also anger and confrontation free, that finally snapped Leo completely back to himself. The right to free will was not a belief that Leo, half crazed with sorrow or not, would have ever questioned. People have the right to be happy, but they also have the right to be unhappy.

"I'm glad you were the one who was with me at the end." Chris had tears in his eyes, too.

"Daddy, Chris, what's going on?" Melinda asked, wide eyed when she entered the room. Her family was expressive and affectionate but not normally teary eyed.

Leo released Chris who immediately headed to his sister. "Mel? Wow, you're so big."

She rolled her eyes as she swatted his arm, "Chris, if you start turning into one of those 'I remember when you were this big' cheek pincers…" she let her threat dangle.

"Mel, there's some things I should tell you about your brother," Piper began hesitantly. She had no idea how she was going to explain this.

"No," Chris looked at Piper, she could see his love for Mel in his eyes and she knew she could trust him, at least where this child was concerned. "Mel, I'm not the Chris you know. Have Mom or the Aunt's ever told you about time travel?"

"Of course," she answered puzzlement clear on her face.

"Well, back before I was born, Mom and the Aunts got a new White Lighter for awhile, a White Lighter from the future. His future was…bad…and the only way he could fix it was to go to the past. His plan worked, the future was fixed. So, I'm the Chris that went back in time and changed his future so that I don't even exist anymore."

"If you don't exist," Melinda began practically, "How are you here now?"

Chris gave a self-deprecating chuckle, "You could call me 'Fix-It Chris', I guess, something still needs to be put right."

"What's that?" Melinda asked with interest.

"That, Smelly Sweet, is my business."

"Ugh, now I remember why I hate it when you guys call me Melly!" Mel threw up her hands in exasperation and walked out of the room.

"Thank you, Chris, for not hurting her with the truth." Wyatt said quietly as he walked into the sunroom. He had stayed in the loft long enough for the orbs to stop spinning. His protective nature for his little sister had taken over and he had driven at a furious speed, racing to the manor. He was glad that he need not have worried; he had overheard most of what Chris had told Melinda. "'Smelly Sweet'?" He cocked a brow.

"Well, Wyatt used to call her 'Smelly Melly' so I started calling her 'Smelly Sweet', I always hoped it would make her smile but mostly it'd just piss her off and she'd storm out of the room."

"Saving you from having to answer awkward questions?" Leo asked, intelligence gleaming in his eyes.

"Yeah, I hoped it would work here too. Mel just got more pissed off with age." Chris laughed.

A/N Please review...I have a whole season planned, but if anyone would like to see something inparticular...
