Last time
"Daddy. It hurts. Make it stop" Miley whimpered.
"I'm so sorry honey. I'm sorry." He moved a few hairstrands out of her face and kissed her forehead as her eyelids flickered shut.
"Noo" He whimpered one last time before rocking his daughter in his arms, knowing she was dead and he couldn't do anything with it.

Chapter 11; Revelations
"Bastard" Paige yelled and ran to Chris and Miley, her sisters not far behind. Without warning both Chris and Paige was thrown backwards into the wall. Chris raised his hand to attack but Paige stopped him and orbed them all away.
"What the fuck did you do that for?" Chris yelled once they'd reformed in the manor.
"We can't go up against him Chris, he's too powerful" Piper's voice were soft and comforting but it didn't seem to help Chris any.
"I can't just let him get away with it. He killed my daughter" Chris screamed slightly hysterical by this point. Piper backed away from him but Paige stood her ground.
"I know that but we can't just try and kill him. We need to have a plan" Phoebe tried to plead with him, using her little sisters trick. She tried to act soft and make Chris understand they need to have a plan before attacking.
"I cant just sit here and do nothing" Chris was near breaking point and everyone could see it and they couldn't do anything. Piper moved towards Chris, feeling her motherly instinct kicking in. She just felt the need to hug him, to comfort him and tell him that everything was gonna be alright. But it wasn't. Miley wasn't coming back. And they all knew it. Piper kneeled next to him and drew him into a hug. Chris tried un successfully to move away, but after a moment of trying he finally gave in as Piper rocked him back and forth. None of them noticed Leo orbing in and drinking in the scene carefully.
"What happened?" Piper just shook her head silently begin him not to ask any questions now. He seemed to understand because he sat down on the couch and watched them with great interest.
"I can't believe I let him do that. I should have protected her" Chris cried.
"Chris. It's not your fault. You didn't do anything wrong, Wyatt did. Not you" Piper tried to reason with the young man, but it didn't work. And she understood why. Who wouldn't blame themselves in a situation like this?
"Chris. You gotta stay calm. You can't take to much stress now" Chris looked up at her.
"He told you didn't he?" It wasn't a question but a statement. Piper nodded her head and smiled sadly at him. Someone needed to stay strong for Chris not to fall apart.
"Don't worry Chris. We will fix it. I don't know how but we're gonna fix it" Phoebe kneeled next to Chris and hugged him. Chris moved into her touch. Needing someone to comfort him. To tell him everything was gonna be alright.
"It's okay Chris. We're gonna find a way to save her" Phoebe assured the young man soothingly. Chris smiled through his tears and nodded his head before leaning against Phoebe. She stroked his hair while trying to comfort him in the best way she could.
"My my, Chris crying. This is a moment to remember" A sarcastic voice was heard from the kitchen door. All three sisters looked at the unexpected visitor and gasped at what they saw.
"What's the matter? You seem like you've seen a ghost" Cole smirked smugly before turning to the young man on the floor in his former ex-wife's arms. He smiled caringly and held out his hands. Chris didn't hesitate to run towards him.
"Cole" He whispered and ran into his arms hugging him as if he'd never wanted to let go.
"It's okay buddy. I'm here" Cole smiled and hugged Chris. God he'd been so scared. When Wyatt had ordered Bianca to bring Chris back he'd thought it was the end for the young man. But his daughter had seemed to understand the risk and decided to help Chris after all.
"You know him Chris?" Piper asked suddenly, drawing both of Chris and Cole's attention. Chris smiled sweetly at her and looked at Cole who gave him a death glare in the lines of 'You better tell them the truth or you'll be sorry'
"He's.. umm.. Bianca's father" Chris answered quickly and closed his eyes. Piper's jaw hit the floor and Cole nearly laughed.
"Don't look so surprised" Cole grinned.
"But.. but.. that means your Miley's..." Piper's eyes widened as Cole finished her sentence.
"I'm Miley's grandfather" Chris just smiled innocently trying not to get noticed but no such luck.
"Why didn't you tell us before?" Phoebe asked the young whitelighter. She couldn't believe he knew Cole. And Bianca, the girl who'd nearly killed them was Cole's daughter.
"Don't blame this on him. I told him not to tell you because I knew it was around this time you vanquished me" Cole protected the young whitelighter.
"Why do we even fight about this guys? We can't think about this right now. We have to find a way to bring back Miley" Paige reasoned with the 3 angry people. Paige was the only one who seemed to care about this right now. Sure she didn't feel comfortable talking to Cole but she couldn't let it interfere with the more important stuff.
"Yea. We should, sorry" Piper and Phoebe both mumbled at the same time.
"So how do we find out what happened?" Cole asked.
"I think we only have one person in this room who knows everything about this situation" Piper answered sadly. She hated doing this to Chris but it wasn't any other way. All eyes were looking at Chris. He shook his head almost scared.
"No way. I can't, please don't make me do this" Chris begged the six people in the room. Cole looked at him sadly before moving towards him and taking an arm around his shoulders.
"It's okay. We need your help to get your daughter back" Cole tried to persuade the man to talk. It seemed to work because Chris took a few deep breaths and calmed himself before speaking.
"After you left I fought a little with Wyatt" He stopped a short second before continuing, "When he finally realized I couldn't take it he decided to make Barbas appear and try to get to me so I would crack and decide to go over to HIS side" He took a deep breath again. He knew he had to tell them what had happened there, "He made me see my mom's death again" He turned around and tried to make the tears that was slowly making their way down his cheeks go away.
Paige moved closer to Chris and took his hand in hers, trying to show him that he had them there, to at least protect him now. But it wasn't enough. They all knew it; it wasn't enough to heal the broken young man who used to be the strong powerful man that never let anything tear him apart.
"After I ran down the stairs to mom's body I felt someone shaking me hard, but I couldn't see anything. But when I woke up I saw you guys standing over me" He continued. When he was done he swallowed hard and grasped Paige's hand.
"We all know the rest. But how does this relate to Miley at all?" Paige looked at each of her sisters and ex brother-in-law. They all shook their heads, while Cole appeared to be deep in thought.
"What about Barbas?" Cole spoke up.
"What about him?" Paige directed her look towards Cole and waited for an answer.
"What if Wyatt used Barbas to get to Chris, but this time he got to all of you?" Cole tried to reason with the three sisters and the elder.
"What if it was just the same? What if it was an illusion?" Piper looked at Cole incredulously. How did he become this smart in the future?
-------------------------------------------
Meanwhile in the underworld Miley was laying safe in bed with Wyatt standing near her, watching her sleep. He smiled a little, thinking of how much she looked like Chris. Her hair and eyes was all Chris, along with everything else. He had a niece he hadn't known about in years, and now he wished he hadn't. He didn't want to use her against Chris. He didn't want to put his brother through any more pain that he was already going through at this point. But he knew he couldn't keep letting Chris getting away.
"I'm sorry Chris" He whispered, mostly to himself. He noticed the little girls fingers twitched a little against the sheets and moved towards her in record speed.
"It's okay honey. Can you open your eyes for me?" Wyatt whispered in the softest tone he'd ever used. He just felt the need to protect the girl.
"Daddy" Miley mumbled weakly. She opened her eyes slowly and looked into Wyatt's blue cold ones. She tried to back away, knowing who the man was and her father had told her to stay away from him.
"Don't worry. I won't hurt you" Wyatt spoke in the same soft tone he'd used earlier to try and make the little girl more relaxed. Hell, she even looked like Chris now, the way she never relaxed about anything.
"You're lying" The little girl accused scared, "Daddy told me to stay away from you. He told me you're evil"
"Don't worry. I'm not evil" He forced a sweet smile, "I'm not going to hurt you honey. You're safe here with me" He moved towards the little girl slowly but when she still backed away he stopped and sighed. Too damn stubborn. 'Just like Chris'
"Where's my daddy?" Miley questioned softly. She wanted her daddy to tell her everything was gonna be alright, not this stranger who claimed to be good and that she was safe with him.
"He's gonna be here soon" Wyatt lied, he tried desperately to think of something to get the little girl to trust him, "You know. Did your father ever tell you he had a brother? That you had an uncle?" Wyatt tried a different approach. Miley shook her head but looked curiously.
"He didn't?" Wyatt pretended to be shocked for a moment before continuing, "I thought he would have told you. Did you know that he's MY brother?" Wyatt questioned the little girl. Miley's eyes widened and her face showed pure innocence.
"You're my uncle?" Miley asked.
"Yes. And don't worry. I'm not going to hurt him" Wyatt assured the young girl.
"So daddy won't get mad?" The little girl asked innocently. Wyatt just shook his head, grinning.
"No he won't be mad" And with that he scooped the girl into his arms and hugged her, his grin turning into a dangerous look.
------------------------------------------------------------
"You seriously think that might have been an illusion?" Chris was almost smiling. Maybe it was a chance his daughter was still alive and well.
"Yea I do and that's why we need to find out if it's true or not" Cole decided and stood up and walked towards the attic. All 5 people followed in a hurry behind.
"So how are we gonna find out if it's true?" Piper finally questioned what everybody was thinking.
"We're gonna use the same spell you used when you tried to get Prue back" Cole answered lightly and grabbed an athame and walked towards Chris. He handed him the athame and sat down. Chris sighed and cut his finger and held his hand over the potion they had been brewing only hours before. He motioned for the other to take each others hand and looked at the book one more time before beginning to chant.
"Blood to blood, I summon thee. Blood to blood, return to me" All six people dissolved into white lights before being transported to the underworld yet again. Chris grabbed his chest when they reformed and breathed heavily for a moment before recovering himself. Leo looked at him worriedly but Chris just shrugged him off and started walking, with the sisters, Leo and Cole closely behind.
"Wait. Watch there" Phoebe stopped Chris and pointed towards Wyatt and Miley who were now currently hugging each other. Chris felt his blood boil when he watched his little innocent girl hugging this... monster. There wasn't a nicer word to describe Wyatt at the moment. He couldn't believe who would use Barbas and Miley to get to Chris the way he did.
"So. I think you should get some sleep" Chris heard Wyatt saying. He watched as Miley lay down in the bed and Wyatt covered her with a fake smile on his face. He waited until Wyatt walked out of the cave until he carefully walked towards his daughter, making sure he didn't make a sound. Paige followed him behind, knowing he would maybe need some help. As if on cue two demons shimmered in behind Chris, grabbed his arms. Chris leaned forward and tried to shake off his attackers without any success, so he grabbed one of the demons and threw them to the end of the cave. He then tried to tk the other demon but the demon was to fast for him. Without a second thought the other demon conjured a athame and stabbed Chris, before thowring him to the other side of the cave. Piper flicked her wrists and blew up the demon before he had a chance to attack Paige though and she quckly ran to Miley who by now, were crying.
"It's okay sweetie. We're gonna get you home" Paige stroked Miley's hair, trying to calm her before turning to Leo, "You need to heal Chris" Leo nodded before running towards an unconcious Chris with a bleeding gash in his stomach. He sat down and the golden glow appeared and Chris soon woke up.
"Daddy" Miley yelled and shrugged herself off Paige's grasp, running towards Chris.
"Hey honey. Are you okay?" He hugged her tightly and kissed her forehead many times before releasing her. He watched her face closely and moved his arm to her forehead.
"Your hot sweetie, are you feeling alright?" He asked her. Miley shook her head.
"I'm not feeling so well daddy. I wanna go home" She whined slightly and Chris couldn't help but laugh. God he had missed that these few days. He stood up and scooped her up in his arms and grabbed Cole's hand, before orbing home.
"Finally, everything is over for now" Paige nearly yelled in happiness before sinking down on the couch with her eyes closed.
"Where's Chris and Miley?" Piper asked and looked around for their neurotic whitelighter and his daughter, though she didn't need to look for long when the door to the kitched opened and Miley came in with a cookie in her hand and ran towards Piper.
"Thanks Piper" Piper laughed laughed as the littel girl hugged her legs with her tiny hands and turned towards her grandfather.
"Grandpa" She squealed in delight as Cole picked her up and hugged her. Chris came out seconds later looking like he might faint and sat down on the couch.
"Remind me in the future to keep Miley away from your cookies" Chris looked at Piper before groaning. Piper looked at him in triumph.
"So we do know you in the future" Chris noted the pride in her voice and just stuck his tonque out.
"Yes, fine. We know you in the future, happy now?" Chris asked sarcastically. Piper nodded her head and sat down beside him and shuffled his hair.
"I knew we would know you in the future" Piper told him as he looked at her. He tried to smile but he couldn't. He couldn't let everything she had said to him druing his stay in the past just go away that easily. He couldn't forgive her just yet. Piper seemed to understand because she gave him a sad smile and walked out of the living room. Chris sighed and closed his eyes while he listened to Miley's laughing and Cole and Paige's talking.
"Hey daddy. Are you tired?" Miley's voice were suddenly heard near Chris' ear. Chris jumped and thought he was going to faint when he saw Miley's face. Paige grinned as Cole couldn't contain his laughter.
"Chris, did you turn over a new leaf here in the past? I can't remember you being so jumpy in the future" Cole couldn't help himself. He had to ask the question. And it was true to say the least. Chris hadn't been so scared in the future like he was now. But then again. He'd been through alot lately.
"Ha ha, I could die of laughter Cole, seriously" Chris answeres sarcastically and stuck his tonque out in a very childish way. Phoebe laughed and quckly ran through the kitchen door, claiming she needed a cup of coffee. Cole motioned for Chris to come up in the attic before shimmering up himself. Chris sighed and out down now a sleeping Miley and covered her with a blanket. He gave Paige a apologatic glace before orbing up stairs. Paige grinned when she knew Chris was out of range and ran up the stairs quietly. Now when Cole was here was her perfect chance to figure out who Chris was. Cole and Chris would definatley talk about it, and knowing Cole, he would be mad at Chris at least a little for not telling them who he was. Lost in her thoughts about her perfect chance,Paige didn't notice she was nearly inside the attic and nearly bumped into the door. She hit her head for nearly exposing her and leaned into the door and tried to listen to their conversation. She knew it was wrong, but what was a girl to do if she couldn't do it herself?
"Chris, why didn't you tell them who you are?" She heard Cole's soft voice.
"You know I can't do that, think about the future concequences..." Chris started but was cut off by Cole's angry voice.
"Bullshit Chris. You know you should tell them. They deserve to know the truth"
"Yea right. I can just imagine their faces when I would have orbed in here and said 'Hey, I'm Chris, a future whitelighter. Oh, and did I forget to tell you? I'm your son Piper, Wyatts little brother'" Paige heard Chris's sarcastic reply and gasped. 'Oh my god. How could we not have known?' They should have known he was family. Everything about him screamed Halliwell from top to toe. His hair, his sarcastic nature, how he always had to protoect innocent, his eyes. They were Leo'ss. But how could they not have seen it? How could she not have known he was her nephew? And Piper, she threw him out. His own mother threw him out of the house. Paige groaned and sank down to the floor. How could he ever forgive them for all the bad things they did to him.
---------------------------------------------------
"Maybe Cole can tell us who Chris is" Piper suggested with a hopeful look on her face when her sister came in the door.
"Don't count on it, Cole is probably the same on the future concequences stuff" Phoebe mumbled darkly as she walked to the counter and grabbed a cup of coffee and sat down in the chair with a heavy sigh. She still couldn't believe Chris knew Cole and didn't tell her anything. It wasn't THAT long since she had to vanquish him. And clearly it didn't stuck this time either.
"I know what your thinking" Piper shook her sister out of her thoughts, Don't think too much about it, it looked like Cole was good and I don't think your Bianca's mother either" Piper explained when Phoebe shot her a confused look. Phoebe just nodded her head silently trying to figure out her own feelings as well as Piper's, but she didn't come that far when suddenly the kitchen door opened and Miley came walking in.
"Hey sweetie, so did you have a nice sleep?" Piper asked the little girl with a wink. Miley grinned and nodded her head, but she didn't look so good. She kneeled down next to the girl and touched her forehead to check her tempeature.
"Your burning up" Piper commented and winced slightly. She didn't need Miley to get worried.
"I'm not feeling so good, where's daddy?" Piper laughed softly. The first precious word, 'where's daddy' She could already tell from her point of view that Miley was a daddy's girl, but she was cute that way too. The way she always wanted comfort from her father.
"Hey guys. I need to talk to you" Paige ran into the kitchen looking like she might bust. The grin on her face grew bigger by the minute, that it didn't fit the kitchen.
"Whats so great?" Phoebe asked when she watched the grin on her little sisters face.
"Come here. I need to tell you something. Miley, why don't you just grab some cookies while I talk to Phoebe and Piper?" Paige suggested and grabbed both Phoebe and Piper's hands and dragging them both out to the kitchen.
"So what is it Paige?" Piper asked inpatiently while Leo orbed beside her, having sensed Paige's happiness and wanting to know what was triggering it.
"I know who Chris is" Paige jumped up and down. Phoebe squealed and hugged her sister, happy for her sister's cleverness.
"So who is he?" Piper's voice broke both of her sisters hug and Paige straightened up. Paige opened her mouth to reply but was cut off by Chris and Cole walking down the stairs. She smiled as she walked over to Chris.
"Why don't you tell them Chris?" She grinned smugly at Chris' confusion.
"Tell them what?"
"Who you are" Paige laughed at Chris' face and gave him a little push in Piper and Leo's direction.
"How did you know?" Chris glared daggers at his aunt while trying to cover up. He'd been here so long and now she'd found out who he was.
"I eavesdropped" Paige answered proudly, though both Chris and Cole looked like they might kill her.
"I can't believe you did that" Chris accused, but Paige cut him off.
"No, I can't believe you would do that to them. They deserve to know the truth Chris" Paige tried to reason with the young witchlighter. He just shook his head furiously, beggin her to not tell them.
"What? What do we deserve to know?" Chris turned around and looked into Piper's eyes. He could he the confusion, but also the longing. The longing to know who he was, who he was gonna be.
"Fine. I'll tell them. Piper, Leo. Meet your son. Christopher Halliwell" This was it. The bombshell had been dropped. Now they could only wait for their reaction.
"Wh.. what?" Shocked beyond words she shook her head. No, he couldn't be. He couldn't be her son. All the things she'd said to him. He couldn't be her son.
---- Flash ----
You know what? Cut it out with the cryptic crap. You need to go up there and bring him back now. No more games.
---- Flash ----
"No, I don't want Chris near Wyatt. I still don't believe him"
---- Flash ----
"Chris, you tell me why your lying to us now or god forbids I will blow you to the future" Piper threatened Chris while he looked like a deer caught in headlights.
---- Flash ----
"GOD Chris, you can be so annoying sometimes" Piper screamed the the young man, and just for the heck of it, she blew him up.
---- Flash ----
I don't ever wanna see you again Chris
I don't ever wanna see you again Chris
I don't ever wanna see you again Chris
---- Flash ----
"Oh my god. It can't be. No, I wouldn't" Piper shook her head furiously, denying everything her little sister had just said and confirmed to her.
"No way, he can't be my son" Leo denied. Chris couldn't be his son, he was with a demon for christ sake. His son would never do that, and he lied to them all this time. Why would he do that if he was family. Why would he hurt them?
"Well. Believe it" Paige snapped. She coudln't believe how dense her family could be, Chris was her nephew and she could see that this affected him just by looking at him. His eyes were glassy and he were looking down to the floor, looking almost afraid of their reaction.
"I'm so sorry" Piper shoked out, looking at Chris with pain in her eyes. How could he forgive her after all she'd done to him? After everything she'd said?
"Don't. I know you didn't mean it" Chris was near crying, she could see it. Tears were starting to make their way down his cheeks and he didn't bother to brush them away. She slowly made her way so she was in front of him. She touched his cheek gently and carressed it, a smile tugging on her lips. He leaned into her touch and closed his eyes while she moved closer to him and put her arms around him, hugging him tightly.
"How could I not have seen it?" The question wasn't directed towards her son, they both knew that. But the question still hurt both of them.They were all too wrapped up in their own emotions that they didn't realize Leo had moved towards mother and son and wrapped his arms around them, not did they hear the noise coming upstairs from the attic, where Wyatt was trying to steal the book. But with a few minutes of trying he knew it was pointless and flamed downstairs, making sure no one would see him. A smile tugged on his lips when he watched the family confrontation 'Soon you'll be mine Chris, soon you'll break'. With that he flamed down to the underworld.
He whistled and a girl shimmered in. Not more than 18 or 19. Her blonde hair fell down her shoulders and her eyes were covered with black glasses, making her look more hostile.
"Chris is near breaking point. Our parents just found out he's their second son. If we strike now we have a chance to bring him over to our side" Wyatt gave the girl an evil grin. She nodded her head and smiled.
"I'm going to rescurrect a demon from this time" Wyatt continued, "It will break mom's heart and it WILL break Chris" He gave a chilling laugh as he walked towards the potions he'd brought from the future.
