A/N: Thanks for all the reviews, follows and faves on this story so far. This has been in my head for so long now, and getting back into rewatching Charmed, has made me really want to get this story out there.
I do make mention of a few future characters - taking from my take on who I name the children of the other Charmed ones, apart from Piper, as well as giving another character a name that is not in connection to the character's name from the comics, but instead choosing my own name for them.
The OC characters belong to me, but all characters you recognize from the show belong to the creators and I am just playing with them for fun.
Thanks, for reading,
Love, KJ xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo
Orbing up to and the rematerializing in the attic of Halliwell manor; Melinda looked to her older brother, and gave a small sigh.
"I'm sorry" she said, as Chris looked to her; confused as to why she'd be saying that.
"Why?" he asked, as Melinda gave him a small smile.
"Saying I was your sister, in front of mom. I shouldn't have done that" she replied, as Chris gave the smallest of laughs and also smile to his younger sister.
No, it's okay, I'm just glad you're safe" said Chris shaking his head and also hugging his little sister. "We just can't let them know that your name is really Melinda" said Chris, as Melinda nodded returning the hug to her older brother.
"Kind of a giveaway you think, the connection" said Melinda, as Chris also nodded.
"Yeah, so if anyone asks your last name is Perry" he replied, as Melinda gave a laugh.
"Perry, you seriously did not just go with your middle name as to what your last name is" said Melinda, shaking her head.
"Well, it's not like I could say, hey I'm Chris Halliwell now was it and not have it be really obvious as to who then I really am" replied Chris, with a small laugh, and smile to the younger of the three Halliwell's born to Piper and Leo.
"No, I guess not" replied Melinda, giving a small sigh. "Lucky, that your middle name was an easy one to convert to a last name then, huh"
"Yeah, and mom wanting me to have a P name" said Chris, as Melinda gave a small nod and smile to him.
"Are you okay, with all this?" asked Chris, as Melinda looked to her brother. "Seeing mom, after all this time; after seven years"
"I will admit, it was so weird and also so sad at the same time, to see her" replied Melinda, as Chris gave a nod. "But I know why you came back here, and what we are also trying to prevent as well"
"Just seeing them all, I got to tell you Minnie" said Chris, as Melinda looked to him. "It's going to be hard"
"I know" replied Melinda, with a small smile to him. "But I've become a lot stronger, Chris. This isn't going to faze me, I can do this" she continued, as Chris looked to her with a nod, before she also added quietly. "I'm sorry about Bianca"
"You heard, what happened?" asked Chris, as Melinda looked to him with small nod.
"She wasn't evil you know that, she was just trying to infiltrate Wyatt" replied Melinda.
"Yeah, I know" said Chris, with a small sigh. "So you know I was back there recently"
"Only when Wyatt told me earlier, apart from that I didn't realize" said Melinda.
"I didn't want him to get you or any of the other in the Resistance" said Chris as Melinda looked to him with a nod. "And also as well, it's not like I was there a long time to go and check up on what had been happening"
"It's fine Chris" she replied, offering her older brother a small smile. "He got Andie and Gina though, about a month ago"
"No" replied Chris, shaking his head as Melinda nodded.
"I'm sorry Chris, they're dead" she replied, to her older brother, as he went and sat on the sofa that was up in the attic.
"The others though, they're okay?" he asked, with a small sigh, rubbing his face; the tiredness of being in the past for as long as he had been and also the keeping of lies, taking a toll on him.
"Well as okay as can they all can be, hiding and living under ground" said Melinda, and Chris looked to her with a nod, knowing full well what it was like to have been living in hiding from Wyatt and his rule. "Junior and Seth are handling things though hopefully, whilst I'm gone" continued Melinda, as she went and also sat on the sofa as well. "However, they probably at the moment have no idea what has happened; unless Wyatt somehow manages to get word out that I have escaped too"
"They're going to be worried about you, you know that" said Chris, looking to his younger sister. "Just like I have been so worried about all of you in the future, and not knowing if you were safe"
"It's been hard, but we've managed" said Melinda, with a small nod. "And we've lost more loved ones" she continued, with a small sigh. "But hopefully, what we're going to do here. It will fix all that will happen"
"We shouldn't be doing this though, running for our life, fighting off Lord Wyatt" said Chris, and Melinda looked at him. "He was supposed to protect us, be there with us fighting evil and not be the one causing it"
"I know, but that's what we're going to change right" said Melinda.
"I hope so" replied Chris, with a nod, as Melinda nodded also. "Just as of now, I haven't found out what happens to turn Wyatt into what he is in the future"
"Well I'm here now" said Melinda, looking to her brother. "And maybe the two of us, we can figure it out"
"Yeah" replied Chris, looking to her with a smile. "And how did you even know the spell to get here?" he asked, looking to his younger sister as Melinda gave a small laugh. "I tore it out of the book before I left not long ago, so he'd not be able to send anyone else here"
"Chris, I have the power of premonition remember" she replied, as Chris gave a nod. "I can see the future and the past, so I saw the spell you said in order to get here"
"I don't want you going back home though, that's for sure" he continued, shaking his head. "Especially since Wyatt, is going to be pretty angry with you when you do go back there"
"I just got to hope he doesn't go after the others, whilst looking for me" said Melinda, with a small sigh. "Our numbers are severely down now, and with only really Seth's power and mine that were of any real use to the resistance" continued Melinda, as Chris looked to her. "Well, I'm just really worried for them"
"Yeah, me too" replied Chris with a nod. "And I actually saw Seth not that long ago"
"How could you have seen Seth, he'd be just a baby here" said Melinda, looking to her brother with a laugh.
"He was" replied Chris, with a nod. "Turns out the Charmed ones, saved him from his maticore mom and her pack"
"You wanted to vanquish him" said Melinda, looking to her older brother in disbelief.
"No I didn't" replied Chris, shaking his head as Melinda looked to him with skeptism.
"Christopher, are you forgetting who you are talking too?" asked Melinda, with a laugh and shaking her head.
"Okay, yes maybe. But it was too protect Wyatt" said Chris, with a small sigh and Melinda looked to him.
"Chris. You know Seth had nothing to do with this. He has been a great help with the resistance" said Melinda, as Chris gave a loud sigh.
"I know that Minnie, it's just that I've been here all this time and I can't figure out what happens too Wyatt" replied Chris, looking to his younger sister. "Why he would grow up and want to kill innocent people"
"Like mom" said Melinda, with a small sigh and Chris looked to her with a nod.
"Yeah, and even if that was inadvertently" replied Chris, standing up and going over to the book shelf. "He was still the one who was making deals with demons, which then saw them kill her on my birthday of all days"
"And four years later, big brother is the leader of all evil" said Melinda, looking over to what her other older brother was getting over at the bookshelf. "What are you doing over there?"
"You better take this" said Chris, getting a little potion bottle out of one of the boxes.
"Take what?" asked Melinda, as Chris walked back over to her. "It's an empathy blocking potion so Phoebe won't be able to read you"
"Chris, isn't this a little dangerous for me to be taking?" asked Melinda, looking to him. "You know since I'm also an empath"
"It shouldn't block what you can feel of others" replied Chris, shaking his head. "But it definitely blocks out other empaths from reading you"
"So it works?" asked Melinda, as Chris looked to her with a nod.
"Yeah, Phoebe hasn't caught onto me yet, and she can't dig into Piper and Paige's thoughts now" said Chris. "So it definitely works"
"Okay, if you say so" replied Melinda, with a nod and opened the bottle. "Bottoms up" she said, as she drank it screwing her face up and she consumed the potion to block Phoebe from reading her thoughts and feelings. "Yeuch, taste horrible. Worse then horrible, it's gross"
"Well it's better that then Phoebe find out and tell the others, who you and me also; really are" said Chris, as Melinda nodded her head and looking to her older brother.
"Yeah but tell me this then" said Melinda, and Chris looked to her. "How come I can still read you"
"Maybe because you know me better than anyone else" replied Chris.
"Yeah" replied Melinda, with a laugh. "That and also the power to feel does come from our whitelighter side as well"
"Probably, only one of the new good things to come from dad" said Chris, as he sat back on the sofa and Melinda looked to him with a laugh.
"You've still got some major issues with him, haven't you" said Melinda, as Chris looked to her.
"Oh, and like you haven't?" fired back Chris, and Melinda looked to him shaking her head.
"Yes, of course I do" she replied. "But he's still our father" continued Melinda, as they heard Chris's name being called by Piper from downstairs. "Umm, do we both go"
"We both go, yeah" said Chris, with a nod; and the two of them orbed downstairs to the bottom level of the Halliwell manor, their future home; to see what Piper was wanting the oldest of the two future Halliwell children from the future for.

Orbing to the lower level of the Halliwell ancestral home; Chris and Melinda not only saw that Piper was in the living room of what was their future home, but also Phoebe, Paige and Leo as well.
"So you have a little sister" said Phoebe, as the two of them appeared out of the bright white lights. "Anything else you might want to be sharing with us now?"
"Umm, no not really" replied Chris, quickly looking to her and shaking his head; Melinda surprised by her older brother's snark towards their future aunt, and one who they were both particularly close with, especially after Piper's death.
"Okay, we can ask more questions later of the two of them" said Piper, and Melinda and Chris both looked to her. "But Leo, could you possibly heal that cut to the arm that Minne has"
"Was there no one in the future who was able to do this for you?" asked Leo, as he took a step towards Melinda, hand held out and placing it just over where the cut to her arm was. "Did you not ask"
"I did it just before I jumped through the portal to here" replied Melinda, with a small smile to her future father. "And we can't heal ourselves" she continued, before looking to Chris. "And big brother here is hopeless at healing, so he couldn't do it"
"Hey, those powers just haven't you know developed yet" replied Chris, looking to his younger sister. "And it's not like you have them either"
"Don't get snarky with me, Christopher" said Melinda, looking to him also. "I am fully aware of what my powers are and also what yours are too", and as Leo finished healing the cut on her arm. "Thank you" said Melinda, with a small smile to him.
"Pleasure" said Leo, with a nod as Melinda also nodded and looked to Chris who just rolled his eyes.
"So Chris's little sister" said Phoebe, and Melinda looked to her.
"Uh huh, I think we've already established that is who I am" replied Melinda looking at her, with a small smile.
"And your name is Minnie?" said Paige, and Melinda looked to her and then quickly to Chris, before nodding her head.
"Well actually it's Melanie, Melanie Perry" she replied, taking up the middle name of her older brother for her last name also. "But I've always being called Minnie by everyone"
"Melanie" said Piper, looking to her. "And you never got Mel"
"Umm, my teachers at school called me that" replied Melinda, with a nod. "But, I haven't been to school in about two years now"
"What is after the two of you in the future that is so bad" said Leo.
"We can't tell you that" replied Chris and Melinda together, looking to one another with a laugh; seeing just how well in sync that they were both still with each other even after being separated by time for the length that they had been.
"Yeah, you two are definitely related" said Paige, with a laugh. "That's something we hear from Chris, every single day almost"
"That maybe so, but she can't stay here Chris, she has to go back" said Leo, and Chris looked at his father in sheer disbelief, as Melinda also looked to him also a look of fear crossing her face.
"No, no. She can't it's way too dangerous" said Chris, shaking his head. "I'm not having Minnie sent back there"
"If I go back Leo, I'm dead" said Melinda, looking to her father. "That's what will happen if you were to send me back to my time"
"Who would kill you, who wants you dead?" asked Piper, and Melinda looked to her mother; hating having to lie to her.
"I can't say" said Melinda. "Just I know they will kill me, when I return"
"Please, you have to let Minnie, stay here" said Chris, as the past Halliwell women looked to him, as well as Leo.
"The elders aren't going to agree to it. They're not going to let two future white lighter witches from the future stay in the past" said Leo, shaking his head and giving a small sigh. "I'm sorry"
"Unbelievable, you would send her back there, and just let her die" said Chris.
"Chris, I don't want to, but it's not for me to decide" said Leo, and Chris glared towards the man who in less then a year would be his father. "Too much is at risk already having one person from the future here; but two. That's going to throw off the whole balance of what the future is meant to be"
"Leo, I wouldn't have come here if there was any other way" said Melinda, looking to the man who was her father, but who she had not now seen for many years since he was up their hiding as many whitelighters in the future also were, from that of Wyatt. "But I need you to trust me and also Chris. And I can help here, stop what is going to happen, happen, or a least try and help"
"Okay" replied Leo, with a long sigh, both Melinda and Chris looking at him as well as the three other Halliwell's in the living room. "I'll try to get the other elders to agree to it"
"Thank you" said Melinda, as Leo gave a nod; and she heard Chris's voice in her head. "Typical, always got your own way with him" and she looked to her slightly older brother. "Don't start Chris, the important thing is I am staying" she replied telepathically as Chris looked to her with a nod.
"Well if you're going to stay, I think there may be some old clothes of mine upstairs that might fit you" said Piper, standing up, and Melinda looked to her shaking her head; not particularly wanting to be wearing that of her future mom's clothes from the past.
"Oh it's fine, I can wear this" said Melinda, referring to the ratted old clothes that she had on.
"Nonsense" said Piper, with a laugh. "You're going to stand out way too much in them" she continued, and walked over to her unknown to her future daughter and taking her hand; as Melinda smiled. "Come on"
"I'm going to check something in the book" said Chris, with a nod, smiling to Melinda; who he knew was secretly loving that even though Piper had no idea who she was, that in some ways their mom was in their life again, as they headed upstairs to the second level.
"Okay" said Paige, with a nod, and Chris quickly looking to his aunt, with a small smile before orbing upstairs to the attic.
"Phoebe" asked Leo, as she looked to her brother in law. "Could you get anything off Minnie, or rather Melanie?"
"No, nothing, it's like Chris. I couldn't read her at all" replied Phoebe, as Leo gave a small sigh.
"You think they're hiding something?" asked Paige.
"Oh I know that they're hiding something, I just don't know what yet" said Leo, with a sigh.
"So you don't trust them?" asked Phoebe, as Leo shook his head head.
"It's not that I don't trust them" he replied, looking to her. "And I do believe Chris, when he says that he is trying to protect Wyatt" he continued, as both Paige and Phoebe nodded. "I just wish we knew more as well"
"We'll keep an eye on them" said Paige.
"Yeah, both of them" added Phoebe, before the three of them went back to doing what they had been before Piper had called them all back to the manor, and to meet the newest unbeknown to them future generation of Halliwell's from the not too distant evil ruled future, of the only born child to a Halliwell now; Wyatt Matthew Halliwell.
End Note: Obviously I am going to be defecting with the eps after this from what actually happened within the show; but just need to be adding Melinda in slightly to them. Thankfully, years ago as well - I also was insane enough to download all the scripts from the show; so I can use them to work off instead of sitting and trying to transcribe from the eps themselves.
Thanks for reading and I will catch you all again soon.
Love always,
