Here is the next update. I am getting into the Spin City part of the season. Will it play out like the real season? We'll you'll just have to read to find out. Thanks for all the great reviews. I do not own Charmed.
At the doctor's office, Leo was smiling through most of the appointment. He got to see his baby boy on the ultrasound machine and he got to hear Chris' little heartbeat. The doctor even printed out some pictures for them. He informed Piper and Leo that it was a healthy boy growing inside of her, which they had sort of assumed anyways.
Little Wyatt was with, watching the images on the ultrasound from his father's arms. He didn't know what he was watching, but it seemed to amuse him.
After the appointment, Piper and Leo headed down to the parking garage where they knew Chris would be waiting. He had said just before they left for the appointment that he would probably be waiting when it was finished so he could make sure everything was alright with Piper and his mini version.
He was leaning against Piper's jeep waiting for them, his arms crossed over his chest. "So, how'd it go." He asked curiously.
"You'll be happy to know you're a healthy baby boy." Piper replied sarcastically, making Chris role his eyes.
"We even have pictures for proof." Leo said, holding them out for Chris to see. He opened the back door to the jeep and started to load Wyatt into his car seat.
Chris took the pictures, looking at them briefly before handing them to Piper so she could put them in her purse. He moved so he could lean back against the car, but something caught his eyes in the corner of the parking garage. A demon took form, one he had never seen before.
The demon was pale, almost white, with wavy black hair and a long black dress. She came at them with long claws extended from her hand. "Demon." Chris shouted. Leo turned, as Chris was thrusting Piper aside. Everything seemed to be happening in slow motion.
Wyatt's little shield went up around himself and his father, but Leo didn't stay in the shield for long. He ran to Piper's side to make sure she hadn't been injured when Chris pushed her out of the way.
The demon was after Piper, but since she was conveniently pushed from her grasp, her claws struck Chris. Long gashes were left on his neck before he could push the demon away from him. Instinctively, his hand went up to his neck, cradling the wound. His other hand went out, telekinetically throwing a nearby fire extinguisher at the demon. It struck her, but barely seemed to phase her.
The demon knew she was out numbered and though they hadn't realized it yet, she knew she had infected one of them with her venom. She would have an ally as soon as the venom took hold. Until then, she would wait in her lair. She transformed into a black spider, just as Piper made it to her feet and tried to use one of her own powers. She was too late though and the spider crawled out of sight.
"What the hell was that?" She asked frantically. Her hands were holding her belly. All of the action got little Chris kicking at her bladder and she could barely take it. His fetus was much more active than Wyatt's ever was.
"I'm not sure." Leo replied. Little Wyatt had put his shield down, though he was a little cranky now. Leo went over to his son, trying to comfort him. "It's ok buddy, the demon's gone now."
"Dad, I think I might need a little healing." Chris said, as he slumped against the back of the car holding his neck.
Leo walked to the back of the car so he could get a better look at Chris' wound. There were three deep red gashes going along the side of his neck. Surprisingly, there wasn't a lot of blood though. Leo's hand went to the cuts and they each began to mend one by one. "We should get home and see if this demon is in the book." Leo said.
"Ok, I'll meet you there." Chris replied. He thanked Leo for the healing before orbing back to the manor.
Once at the manor, he went to the attic in search of the book. It wasn't there though. He finally found it on the table in the conservatory and sat down, browsing it's pages.
He settled on a page for a demon known as the Spider Demon. He read the page to himself, learning that she emerges from her lair every one hundred years in search of the most powerful magical being she can detect. She captures them and feeds on them. There was a vanquishing potion listed with the entry as well.
Paige entered the room and glanced at the page Chris was reading from. "What's this uh, spider demon?" She asked curiously. "Do you need help with a potion or anything?"
"Actually, I could use some help." Chris answered and then explained. "She attacked us at the hospital after Mom's appointment. I guess she feeds on powerful magical beings."
Paige's face contorted in confusion. "So which one of you was she after?"
"I think she was after Mom." Chris replied.
"I guess that makes sense. She's probably more powerful with a magical fetus growing inside of her." Paige thought.
"I guess." Chris said.
Paige headed for the kitchen. "If you wanna bring the book to the kitchen, I can help with that vanquishing potion."
Chris followed Paige and took the book to the kitchen, but was caught off guard when he saw Wyatt standing tall near the table with his arms crossed and his face emotionless.
"Um, Wyatt. What are you doing..." Paige started to ask.
"I'm not here to talk to you." He said sternly.
She turned, taking the book from Chris and heading over to the stove. "What do you want, Wyatt?" Chris asked curiously.
"Someone attacked you." Wyatt replied.
"So, what do you care?" Chris shot back. "You can't just disappear a few months ago and than show up outta nowhere acting like nothing happened."
"What demon was it?" Wyatt demanded to know.
"You're not even listening to me are you?" Chris asked, feeling somewhat agitated. "You should just leave, Wyatt."
"Oh, I need to leave?" He asked. He could feel emotions slipping into him. "I'm not the one living in the manor and pretending that everything is alright. I'm not the one getting attached to people that aren't there for us in the future."
Paige started on the spider demon vanquishing potion, though she listened to every word that passed between her nephews. She wasn't sure if she should chime in or just let the two of them sort things out on their own.
"But they could be and they want to be." Chris replied.
"Sure Piper maybe, but what about Leo?" Wyatt asked. "You really think he won't abandon us like he did before?"
"He's been here this whole time." Chris explained, his anger slowly getting the better of him. "He's not an Elder any more and he wants to make up for what he did in the future."
"You're being ridiculous, Christopher." Wyatt nearly shouted.
Piper stormed into the room. "What's going on in here?" She demanded, catching sight of both of her sons. She was surprised to see Wyatt again.
"Wyatt was just leaving." Chris answered her. He faced Wyatt. "Maybe you should just go back to the future."
"It was a thought, but there isn't anything left for me in the future." Wyatt said.
"What does that mean?" Paige asked, finally speaking.
Wyatt ignored her question. "I never actually thought you could change anything." He said to Chris. "But I spoke with a Seer and she says that our future is ceasing to exist, it's changing. You're ruining everything I worked for."
"Incoming!" Leo shouted from the other room. He came running, chasing after a black spider that was crawling across the floor.
The spider transformed into the demon she had been earlier. Everyone turned just in time to watch the transformation. She was intent on Piper until she sensed someone in the room that was more powerful. She faced Wyatt and extended her hand, webs flowing out of it.
Wyatt moved sideways avoiding the webs. "What, is she supposed to be some comic book reject?" Wyatt thought to himself, as he remembered the Spider-man comics. He and Chris used to read comics when they were younger and Spider-man had been Chris' favorite. He himself had always been a fan of the Justice League.
Piper reacted with her hands, trying to blow up the demon, but the demon merely transformed back into her arachnid state and crawled off. Leo, who had come in behind her, tried to stomp on her. She was too quick though.
"Is everyone ok?" Paige asked. She glanced around at everyone.
"I think so." Piper answered. She glanced at Chris, his green eyes were nearly dilated. His face looked pale. "Chris, you ok?"
He looked up at Piper. "Huh, yeah." He lied. The truth was, he didn't feel well at all.
"You're eyes are dilated." Wyatt said. "Maybe that demon infected you."
"It doesn't say anything about the spider demon being poisonous." Paige said, glancing down at the book of shadows. She flipped the page to be sure there wasn't anything else with it. "Oh, wait..."
"What?" Leo asked.
Paige looked up. "She poisonous alright. There's an antidote in here." Paige answered. She held out a little potion vile. "We need the power of three to bless the vanquishing potion. How do we do that?"
"With our blood." Piper answered. She walked across the kitchen. "I'll help you with that antidote potion."
"Maybe you should go lie down on the couch or something." Leo suggested to Chris.
Chris decided not to argue. He left for the couch in the living room. After he was scratched by the spider demon, he had started to feel different. He started to feel like he was changing inside, like he was transforming into something and it wasn't a good feeling. He was nauseous and he had a headache that just throbbed at the base of his skull.
Wyatt followed him into the room. "It shouldn't take them long to make the antidote." He said, getting Chris' attention.
Chris turned to him, his eyes completely red instead of their usual green. His skin was nearly white. Long black nails had formed on the end of his hands. He thrust out a hand, sending webs at Wyatt. "You bastard." He said.
Wyatt maneuvered out of the way. "What the..." Webs came again and he moved once more.
"You said the Cleaners should have just erased my sorry ass and now you're here acting like you care." Chris stammered in anger. "Go to Hell." He looked towards the other end of the room, where the spider demon was transforming into her demonic half. She aimed her arm at Wyatt, sending the webs around him. Wyatt tried to orb, but the webs kept him in place, quickly cocooning him.
Phoebe entered the manor, walking towards the back of the house. Piper had called her earlier and explained to her the situation with the spider demon. As she walked passed the living room, she froze at the sight before her. Something or someone was in some sort of cocoon against the wall in the living room. A very scarey looking Chris held his hand out to the cocoon, orbing out with it.
Her eyes grew wide with panic. "Piper, Paige." She yelled. "Guys, you need to get in here."
Leo was the first one to Phoebe, though Paige and Piper followed close behind. "What is it?" He asked. He glanced around, expecting to see Chris.
Phoebe was relieved to see Paige and Piper because that meant they weren't the ones in the cocoon. Who was in the cocoon though? "There was a cocoon on the wall and Chris orbed out with it." She explained. "He didn't seem like Chris though. His eyes were red and he was pale, nearly white actually."
"The demon infected him." Piper explained. She help up a potion bottle. "I guess we weren't quick enough with the antidote."
"Ok, but who was in the cocoon?" Phoebe asked.
Leo glanced around the room and then at Phoebe. "Well, Wyatt was here, unless..." He stopped mid-sentence.
"The spider demon feeds on powerful beings. I'm sure Wyatt would be quite tasty." Paige said.
"This is just great." Piper mumbled. "One son has been turned into a demon while the other son has been turned into someone's meal."
"Look, all we have to do is scry for Chris and that should take us to both of them." Paige said. "First, Phoebe needs to bless this vanquishing potion."
Paige, Phoebe, Leo and Piper orbed to a small cave just outside of town. They had vanquishing potions ready for the Spider demon and they had an antidote for Chris. Hopefully, they weren't too late to heal him.
Phoebe walked to the cave entrance, but it was sealed over with spider webs. "Any ideas on how to get inside?" She asked. Leo went to the webs and put a hand to them. A shock went through his hand, into the rest of his body. He was forced backwards.
"Are you ok, Leo?" Piper asked. She helped him to his feet.
"Yeah, I think so." He replied.
Paige concentrated, trying to orb. She couldn't get inside. "Orbing won't get us inside." She said.
"What if we tried a spell?" Phoebe suggested. Paige and Piper agreed that a spell might work, so Phoebe improvised, coming up with a spell quickly. "Break the seal that magic has spun, this web door must be undone."
The webs glowed for a moment and then quickly dissolved, allowing them to see inside the cave. Chris was hunched over in a corner. He looked like a hungry beast. The spider demon had her claws dug into the sides of the magical cocoon that laid before her on a stone table. Chris had no choice, but to watch as she fed.
Piper ran at her, thrusting out the vanquishing potion. The spider demon barely had to time to react. Her hands broke free of the cocoon and she tried to block the potion. The vial shattered and she screamed out as her body exploded slowly. Leo ran to Wyatt and started tearing at the web cocoon he was trapped in.
"Chris." Piper said. She moved to the corner where her youngest son was. "I have an antidote for you." She held out another potion vial. He shot a web from his hands that enveloped around the vial. He brought it to himself and smashed it against the ground.
Wyatt's chest heaved up and down with labored breaths as Leo broke him free from the cocoon. He took in a deep breath and the afternoon air felt good in his lungs. Leo helped him to a sitting position.
Chris waved his arm out, throwing Piper back with his telekinesis. Luckily, she slammed into Leo instead of a cavern wall. The little baby inside of her was not happy, kicking her and moving wildly inside her, as if in protest. Leo helped her up and motioned for her to leave the cave. Leo turned to help Wyatt get to his feet, but was met with the same fate as Piper. Chris waved his arm and sent Leo out of the cave. The web door reformed, blocking them all out once more.
Chris faced Wyatt, his red eyes seemingly glowing in the dark cavern. Wyatt stood and poised himself in case Chris tried to attack him and Chris did just that.
Webs shot from Chris' hands forcing Wyatt back against a cavern wall. He wasn't there for long, as Chris ran to him and started unleashing punches into his stomach. Using all of his force, Chris used his telekinesis to throw Wyatt across the cavern as hard as he could. Wyatt struck another wall, blood forming in a grizzly gash on his forehead. He tried to catch his breath, but his stomach ached with each inhale.
"You need to stop this, Chris." Wyatt said.
Chris screamed. "No!" He approached Wyatt.
"What are we supposed to do now?" Paige asked, as she stared intently at the door of webs in front of them. "I mean, how are we supposed to get that antidote into Chris?"
Piper felt a kick in her belly. Little Chris was still in some sort of protest against what was going on and what had happened. She looked down at her belly and then to Phoebe. "Where's the other antidote?" She asked.
Phoebe held it out. "I have it here." She replied. Piper took the potion and uncorked it. She looked at the orange liquid and made a sour face before she gulped it down. She gagged as the taste lingered in her throat. "What are you doing?"
Piper pushed the lingering taste away and answered Phoebe. Her hand went down to her belly. "Well, I figured that the baby is essentially Chris. If something happens to the baby, than it will happen to Chris or at least, I'm hoping." She explained.
Inside the cave, Chris thrust Wyatt around with his telekinesis. He had him pinned on the ground now, punching him over and over. He felt something inside of him transforming. His eyes returned to their usual deep green. He was no longer infected.
The web door to the cave, disappeared and everyone entered slowly, unsure of what to expect. Even though Chris was no longer infected, they found him wailing on Wyatt. "You Bastard." He said. "I don't know why I even bothered coming back here to save you."
Leo ran to Chris, pulling him off of his brother. He struggled against Leo for a moment, before giving in and walking away. He pushed through his mother and aunts. Once outside the cave, he orbed away. Leo helped Wyatt up and healed the cuts and bruises on his battered face.
The sun had set on the world and Piper finally found Chris sitting in the darkness of the attic. She turned the lights on and walked over to him on the couch. "Are you ok, Peanut?" She asked.
He turned away from her. "Yeah." He lied.
"No, you're not. I can see it." She replied. "Something is bothering you and I'm guessing it has to do with Wyatt. You seemed pretty angry at him."
He turned back to her. "If you knew the things he's done in the future, you'd be angry with him too." He said.
"Well, you're here to change that." Piper put her hand on his knee for reassurance. "And we're going to do whatever we can to help."
"What if it's not enough?" Chris asked, feeling unsure of things. "What if he can't be saved?"
"You can't think like that, Chris." Piper said.
"But you're thinking the same thing, aren't you?" He asked.
Piper turned away from him for a moment, not wanting to answer. "You know that I worry way too much. I'm not doubting that we will save Wyatt. I'm just worried about how it's going to happen, worried about how the future is going to turn out." She said, though in truth, she did have some doubt.
"I think I'm going to go to bed early." Chris said. "I'm pretty tired."
"Ok. I'll let you sleep." She reached over and hugged him. "Good night."
So the demon still infected Chris, but she didn't get Piper. I figured that technically since Wyatt is tb and all, he's the most powerful witch. So, when the demon got to the manor, she went after him instead. Chris had his big fight with Wyatt instead of Leo when he was in the cave. It made more sense to me for my season to do it this way, since I've made Chris a bit closer to Leo. After all, Leo found out who Chris was much sooner in my season than the real one. Anyways...let me know what you think of the update. More to come soon.
