CharmingKelsey16: He he. I'm glad! Thank you! Hope you enjoy the rest as well! Thanks for the Review!

crlnclyn: Thanks, I'm glad you like it! Thank you. Yeah she did go through something bad with Wyatt. The pain Chris felt though was from her screaming in the dream, and he could hear her because her emotions were so strong at the time. He could tell how scared she was though. Chris knows her probably better than anyone, so that gives him a kind of advantage on being able to tell if something's wrong. Yeah, you did say that. I'm glad you are though! You have great comments! I hope you continue to enjoy it! I will, I plan on trying to update every day, or at least every other day. Thanks for the Review!

lissysue85: Thank you! Yeah, I know. I'm pretty sure I'm going to include what happened in the next chapter, so you won't have to wait too much longer to find out exactly what happened. Thanks for the Review!

drmcatcher: I'm glad you like it! That's a good idea. I'm gonna start doing that from here on out, so thank you! I'll be sure to check out you're fics as soon as I have some extra time! Thanks, yeah, I plan on doing another Charmed story after this one that's set in the changed future. Thanks for the Review!

Melinda Wyatt Charmed: I absolutely agree! They should definitely have a little sister! It even showed one at the end of the finale too, so I know they do. Yeah, she probably would be closer to Chris. Although in my next story, that will be set in the changed future, I will have her close to both Wyatt and Chris. Thank you, yeah I agree, it is kinda annoying when she doesn't come in until the end of the chapter or something like that. I'm glad you like them! I wanted to show some different aspects to their relationship. Lol, that roleplay sounds interesting! Yeah, some of the telepathy parts are pretty funny! I do like Mel, I tried to have her look like Piper, and Chris looks like Piper so it made sense that they would look alike. Her personality though, i wanted to go for a mixture, and you'll see more aspects of that in the coming chapters. Yeah, I thought that part was sweet too. I'm glad I can get reactions like that out of people. I think that's what makes a good story, when you can get those kinds of genuine reactions. I plan on updating every day, though with school it might be every other day, but I'm shooting for every day! You'll find out what Wyatt did soon, I'm pretty sure I'm gonna include it in the next chapter, but it might be the one after that, it'll be soon though! Thank you! I'm glad you're enjoying it! Thanks for the Review!

A/N: OK, so here's the next chapter. I know it's not quite as long, but the next one will be. Enjoy!

Please...

"You want some tea or something sweetie?" Phoebe asked Mel.

The sisters were still watching helplessly. Chris had managed to calm his sister down to where she wasn't sobbing anymore. Mel was still holding on to him as if her life depended on it, though, and Chris had no intention of letting go either.

'It's okay Mel. You're okay,' Chris was trying to reassure her.

'Don't leave me Chris,' she practically begged.

'I'm not going anywhere.'

'Promise?'

'I promise.'

Piper was watching as Chris tried to calm her. She couldn't help but feel a little useless. Piper wanted nothing more than to rush to her daughter and just hold her, but was afraid of spooking her. Paige and Phoebe could see this, and decided to give the three some privacy.

"Wanna help me with that tea, Phoebe?" Paige asked.

"Yeah. We'll be right back guys." And with that they left their older sister with her two grown up kids.

Mel was still crying, but not nearly as bad. Chris was just holding her close. Piper cautiously sat down on the coffee table in front of the sofa. She took a deep breath, and looked to Chris for reassurance before speaking to Mel. After Chris gave her a nod telling her it was okay, she finally spoke to her daughter.

"Sweetie, what happened?" Piper asked softly.

"It was just a bad dream," Mel told her, wiping away some of the tears from her face.

"Well, it must've been more than that. What scared you so bad?" Piper tried again, more motherly this time.

'Come on Mel, just talk to us,' Chris pleaded.

"It was nothing," Mel said more firmly.

"Then why were you screaming?" Piper asked, just as firm, but retaining that motherly tone.

"I told you, it was just a bad dream," Mel told her again in a slightly annoyed tone.

"More like a bad memory," Chris stated. Mel glared at him. "What did Wyatt do?"

"Chris!" Mel said incredulously.

"Come on, I know I told you I wouldn't ask until you were ready, but you were screaming bloody murder, so to speak," he told her, looking her in the eyes. Mel continued glaring at him, while Piper placed her hand on Mel's leg.

"Honey, you can trust me. We just want to help. Maybe it would help if you talked about it."

'Chris...' Mel silently pleaded.

'Mel, please...just tell us what happened.'

"Melinda, please...just let us help..." Piper pleaded with her daughter, who tried to hide more tears by closing her eyes. Chris gave her a reassuring squeeze.

"He let my nightmare become a reality," Mel finally answered quietly. Chris looked furious, causing Piper to worry more.

"What nightmare?" Mel shook her head, refusing to answer.

"You don't wanna know," Chris sighed.

"Oh sweetie," Piper sighed, moving over to the couch and pulling Mel into a hug away from her brother, who let her. "I'm so sorry," Piper whispered in her ear.

"For what?" Mel asked, confused, starting to relax in her mother's arms.

"For everything you had to go through," Piper told her sorrowfully, tears threatening to fall. By what little they'd told her, Piper knew the future was really bad. "For everything you both had to go through," she added, reaching her hand out to Chris, who took the hint and joined the group hug there on the sofa.

'Remind you of anything?' Chris asked his sister, who was in between Piper and Chris.

'Yeah, just like all those times when we'd have nightmares as kids.' Both smiled at the childhood memories.

*****

"So neither of them told you what that nightmare was?" Phoebe asked after Piper had told them what had happened.

"No, but I could tell it was something really bad. Chris looked furious, I've never seen him that mad before."

"Well, maybe it was just the whole protective big brother thing?" Paige wondered.

"No, I doubt it. I think he was just mad. He did act like he was trying to protect her from something though."

"Maybe it was something that already happened? I don't think you should push too hard though, Piper. When she's ready she'll talk to you. Remember how long it took Chris to open up? Maybe she's the same way," Phoebe told her sister.

"Yeah, I just feel so helpless..." Piper sighed.

Phoebe gave Piper a hug, then Paige came back over with the tea.

"Here ya go sweetie. Oh, and here's a sleeping potion, you know, just in case," Paige said, handing the tray to Piper.

"I don't know about that," Piper said cautiously.

"Like I said, just in case."

"Fine."

"OK here's some tea, it might make you feel a little better." Piper said, setting the tray on the coffee table.

"Thanks, but I'm fine," Mel told her. She got up to leave. "I'll be right back, I'm just gonna go to the bathroom," she said, noticing the looks on her mother and brother's faces.

After Mel left the room, Chris sank back into the sofa. He ran his hands over his face a couple of times. Piper sat down beside him and patted his hair.

"What's wrong sweetie?" she asked in concern. He looked worn out.

"Nothing," he replied.

"Well, something obviously is. Is it Mel?" When he looked away, Piper took that as a yes. "What is it? You worried about her?"

"Yeah," Chris sighed. "It's just..."

"Just what? This nightmare thing?" He nodded, but didn't say anything. "Whatever it is, you can talk to me. You know that, right?"

"I know, but I can't, not about this."

"Why not?"

"I just...can't. If anyone tells you, it should be Mel." Piper could see the worry on his face.

"You're a good brother," she assured him. Chris closed his eyes and began to shake his head.

"No, i-" Chris started, but Piper cut him off.

"No, hey listen to me," she said, grabbing his arm to make him look at her. "That girl loves you, anyone can see that. And I can tell she looks up to you. You are a good brother," Piper told him firmly. Chris gave her a small smile and nodded.

"Thanks mom."

"Don't mention it," Piper said smiling. "Now, why don't you and Mel try to get some sleep. Here's a sleeping potion Paige made, just in case," she told him, handing him the vile.

"Okay. Goodnight."

"Night."

After Chris had left, Piper sat there wondering and worrying. She was wondering how bad things were in the future, how much her kids went through, and what happened to turn Wyatt. She was worried about her kids, her marriage, and the future. She just hoped things would be better in the morning.

A/N: Hope you enjoyed this chapter! I plan on having the next one up soon! Reviews are appreciated!
