8. Wyatt Matthew and Christopher Perry Halliwell
SOME TIME LATER
The weeks passed slowly by in the Halliwell house. Everything seemed to be out of place, because all they had in mind was the one picture of Chris' sacrifice for his older brother. The father had started to redecorate Wyatt's nursery, the mother only was seen near her youngest in their bedroom, both Wyatt's played together while the aunts worked in their jobs, but the consciousness was only by Christopher.
Leo worked in silence next to the bedroom where his youngest son slept with his mother watching him carefully. From time to time he felt her presence when she touched him gently on his shoulder. He tried to concentrate on his task, but he couldn't. The mind of his kept replaying one scene again and again. The one where Chris was stabbed right in front of Wyatt by Gideon, his former mentor. This could be traumatize his eldest son and then maybe kidnapped down in the Underworld where Gideon would continue his torture. He had to stop these events, because he couldn't cope with loosing Chris and Wyatt, too. The father would loose all his believes. That he was sure of.
Piper sat always near her little boy who slept peacefully in her bed. His wounds had been healed by his father, but still the boy had not waken up. She heard her husband work next to their room, however from time to time no word and sound came. The wife knew how her husband dealt with the new knowledge about Gideon and other. In her heart she knew she felt the same way, because there was no way she would loose her baby boys. Her belly told her that Chris' birthday was coming closer and she would be happy about this new fact. What she didn't know how her oldest son watched her carefully with his younger self.
Wyatt turned slowly around as he had watched his mother by his baby brother. Little Wyatt looked at him smiling. He told him everything about the new following situation with a new baby in the house and how he had to share his mother, father and aunts. His younger self nodded understanding. The older brother smiled, but couldn't laugh. The ruler of the future world regretted so many things he had done and mostly the things being done to his little brother and his fiancée. Silently his smile turned to a frown and the boy started to cry again. Little Wyatt raised his little hands to the face in front of him and wiped off the tears. Big Wyatt smiled again and kissed his younger self.
Phoebe was at work, but couldn't concentrate as well, like Leo at home. Although she had lost her powers her vision at Magic School was burned in her psyche. Her mind replayed one scene again and again. The one with Gideon stabbing Chris with an athame right in front of little Wyatt. After that he was being kidnapped until his father could rescue him, not after the man had lost his youngest son. Her brother-in-law was so furious and broken. Who would not be. The middle sister shivered a bit, but had to continue her work if she wouldn't loose her job. Her only hope was that the Halliwell's would find a solution like always.
Paige tried to work on some time-travelling spells to send her nephews hopefully back to their new future where Wyatt was the big brother like Chris wanted him to be and more. The boys hadn't talk so much about the future, most caused by Chris and his favorite sentence, "Future consequences!" The youngest of the Three laughed at her nephew, but her smile was turned to quiet sobs as she thought back to how they had treated him from the start of his journey in the past. Hopefully little Chris will forgive her as well as the adult one if he could be saved. She hoped her dreams would be come true.
THE DAY OF CHRISTOPHER'S BIRTH
The younger sisters prepared everything in the living room like they had already done by Wyatt's birth. Both smiled, because they were happy to be aunties again. If little Chris would be as adorable as Wyatt had been Piper and Leo were blessed as well as the whole Halliwell family. Not sooner they had finished their task the younger sisters heard cries and screams from above. Her older sister had gone into labor and was maybe torturing her husband.
"Phoebe, Paige!" Leo called out. "Would you two please help me to bring Piper downstairs?" The sisters helped him as their brother-in-law carried his pregnant wife down the steps. Little Wyatt was right behind him. As curious as an infant could be when a new baby was coming.
"Where's big Wyatt?" Phoebe asked, just to be assured that nothing to them during this immense task.
"Watching his brother, but he'll be down if we need him! You know Gideon...", the man swallowed hard. He was so excited to be a father again. His second boy would be named after his father, that was right. The Elder hoped his sons could be saved from Gideon, especially Christopher. He sighed. Both arrived the place where the birth would happen. He put his wife down as he and her sisters were thrown by an invisible force.
"You think you could win!" Gideon cried out. "At first I want to get rid of that baby inside your wife's belly and then your other little boy will be sacrificed as well!" With that he turned to Piper on the table who had paled dramatically after she had heard this. Her hands were on her belly.
"You bastard!" she yelled as loud as she could focusing the attention of all to her. "You will not get my boys! I swear I'll blow you up if you don't go away from me!" She tried to use her powers but failed. Her anger turned into angst. "Go away, go away!", the mother repeated and repeated.
The eldest came running downstairs as he had heard his mother's voice crying out for her baby. His worst nightmare seemed to be come true. As he arrived he saw Gideon over his mother and trying to attack his little brother inside her belly. "Leave my mother and brother alone!" he yelled. His first attempt to fight was being useless against this Elder powers and the young man landed at the feet's by his father who helped him up. Gazing to the others he only saw utter helplessness.
Gideon created a forcefield around him, but big Wyatt told his younger self to do the same. Just in time before the headmaster had created his own. The once Elder was furious beyond help. "As I said before you cannot win!" With that he started his work on Piper.
UPSTAIRS
Chris heard voices coming from downstairs as he woke up. His wounds were healed, obviously by his father. The younger man was certain his older brother had saved him from these demons at that show and had brought him home. He smiled at how his older brother had changed during their stay in the past. Today was his birthday and suddenly he could feel a sting in his whole body taking his breath away. His mind was by his mother, so he orbed downstairs to his worst nightmare coming true.
BACK TO THE FAMILY AND GIDEON
As Chris orbed in the other Halliwell's were shocked, again. The younger man said defenceless somehow, "What's going on? Mom?" His gaze landed on Gideon. "Go away from my mother!" He tried to use his powers but they didn't work. Not sooner he wanted to do it again, Chris broke down but was caught in time by his older brother.
Leo and Wyatt looked at Chris with sorrow and angst. Something the older man didn't feel for so long. Everytime he saw his younger brother he was reminded of his promise. To save him, no matter what will happen to him. The little brother of his was a sacrifice too much for the whole family. As Chris broke down he caught him just in time and laid him gently on the floor. With his father he started a new attack.
The Elder looked at his former mentor with such a fury that he couldn't even look at his wife and the new baby coming out. His worst nightmare was coming true and his sons would be the ones to suffer. He shared some views with his eldest who laid his youngest gently on the floor. All his given powers – by Chris, actually – were directed at the former headmaster of Magic School. The older man saw his older son fire some energy balls also towards Gideon, but he was still saved by his own forcefield. With pleading eyes he gazed at his sisters-in-laws.
Phoebe and Paige worked with all their given powers and magic to get Gideon away from their older sister who was given birth at that moment and her baby was in danger, too. With some worried and hopeful looks they glanced at their brother-in-law and his sons while one of them was laying on the floor. Phoebe's vision seemed to be come true.
Gideon's attack on Piper was interrupted from time to time, because he couldn't concentrate on his forcefield any longer. The attacks from Leo and Wyatt did their best to distract him. With an angrious face he turned around and let his elder bolts flying towards the unconsciousness body on the floor.
Seeing this Wyatt reacted at once and yelled a loud, "NOOOO!" throwing himself in front of his little brother. The bolts reached with their full force and he fell on his brother who suddenly awoke very confused.
As Chris saw his older brother's body on his own he got angry to attack Gideon and help his family towards their enemy. To his surprise out off his hands flew elder bolts as well. Stunned for only a second he locked his eyes with his father and they came to an understanding silently. Sharing the same with his aunts they attack Gideon with everything they had in store. On the other side he could see that Wyatt's younger self protected his mother.
Little Wyatt tried to help his mother as best as he could at such young age. He saw how his father, aunts and brother were caught somehow unexpected and after hearing his older self speak to protect his mother he did it, because he wanted the new baby in the house. Then he wouldn't never be alone anymore. This bad man right in front of him scared him to death, but he couldn't show it. His mommy needed right now and the new baby.
After a long and violent fight between the Halliwell's/ Wyatt's and Gideon there was a divine break. The whole scene froze with being everyone where they were and stood. The Tribunal finally decided to interrupt and take Gideon away who would get his right punishment after they had warned him several times. They placed the family where all should have been from the beginning and slowly vanished into nothingness.
As the family awoke they were replaced. Leo holding little Wyatt in his arms stood next to his wife Piper who had just delivered Chris with him in her arms. She smiled and was relieved that Gideon was gone and baby Christopher was born in the same way like Wyatt. The two younger sisters were smiling happily as well.
The mother and father looked around to find their adult children on the floor. Wyatt was still laying in his younger brother's arms whose hands were over Wyatt's wounds caused by Gideon. The healing glow came what surprised Chris and made him happy, too. Finally he can heal like his father and older brother. Speaking of him the older Wyatt gasped as he woke up.
"Chris, did you heal me?" asked Wyatt his little brother who nodded confirming. "What's with mom and your baby self?" The brunette indicated the blond to turn around. There he saw the family with the baby and his little self. The older of the two brothers couldn't help to let out a sigh of relief.
"Where's Gideon?" Chris wanted to know. Nobody could answer that.
Piper and Leo leaned onto each other. Happy with their newest member, baby Christopher. The adult children were saved and Gideon, their big threat, was hopefully be judged or better vanquished. Unbeknownst to all the Tribunal was judging the headmaster of Magic School at that moment.
SOMEWHERE – NOWHERE
Gideon was surprised to be in front of the Tribunal, again. The last he remembered was standing in front of a pregnant Piper, ready to kill the baby with a knife. He wanted to hide it as soon as they arrived.
"Did you read the prophecy like we asked you for?" one head asked.
"I did, but the brothers are a threat to everyone. They should have never been born!"
"Look!" another demanded.
FUTURE VISION
Wyatt and Chris worked together in silence on a potion in their apartment. They had to vanquish a demon who killed young witches.
Suddenly Chris heard a jingle. "I'll go up there. Wait for me, Wy! We're both twice-blessed and together unstoppable!"
The older brother nodded and smiled. Returning to his task he started to write a vanquishing spell as well, just to be certain. His younger brother was a good witch as well as a whitelighter. Like himself and their father had been a lifetime ago.
As the younger boy returned the two brothers orbed out to their innocent just in time. They threw the potion and said together the spell as fast as they could. The innocent was saved and thanked the boys.
"If you need help, just call our names," Wyatt said to the young woman. "I'm Wyatt and he's Chris, my brother." The younger man just waved his hand. The woman returned the gesture. "We're Halliwell's."
"The Charmed offspring? The prophesied Twice-Blessed brothers?..." the innocent ranted. Both boys smiled nervously as they heard another jingle in their heads. Their mother called with her typical resilient tone.
Wyatt winced a bit as Chris said with a similar voice like Piper, "Sorry to interrupt. Our mother's calling for dinner. We'll have to go now. Call us!"
The brothers returned home just as Piper and Leo had finished their preparation for their special family dinner what happened once a week. The young woman meanwhile went her own way after she had got known the famous Halliwell brothers.
END OF FUTURE VISION
Gideon was in shock. "This cannot be true. These children are a menace to the world!"
The Tribunal shook their heads. The Elder won't just learn from his mistakes in the past. They had seen all of them: Chris' torture, Sigmund's kill and his agreements with the Spider demon and 'Witch Wars'- demons.
"There's an only punishment for your betrayal, Gideon. You'll be vanquished or better reduced to a pile of ashes!"
Not sooner one had spoken these words, all four started their powers. The former Elder and headmaster of Magic School was only a pile of ashes like they had promised.
BACK AT THE MANOR
The happy ending the family deserved was here. Phoebe's and Wyatt's visions would not come true. Especially Phoebe's. Chris had survived, although he was the only one who didn't know that.
"Thanks, bro!" Wyatt said to Chris embracing him as tightly as he could. The younger boy wanted protest, but the older didn't let him. "My spell is off I put on you!"
"What spell?" Chris asked curiously.
"It's over. It doesn't matter anymore. The future has changed thanks to you, little brother!" Wyatt reassured, not wanting Chris to know anything at all.
The family laughed. Phoebe and Paige spoiled the baby what annoyed the adult boy. To their surprise little Wyatt protected his little brother with a waving finger at his aunts.
"Wyatt!" Piper called out picking up baby Chris. Leo cuddled his little boy over his wife's shoulder.
"I don't want to disturb this loving scene, but we'll have to send the boys back to the future. There their memories will be changed!" Leo said locking eyes with Chris. Green met green and an agreeing nod was the result.
"Do they really have to go?" Piper asked sadly.
"Mom, you know that. The longer we stay here, the more will change. I did what I wanted to. Change the future!" Chris replied and Wyatt nodded. "He's good now. Don't say anything now, mom. I'm still your whitelighter!" Wyatt laughed as loud as he had always wanted to, but his spell didn't let him. His brother would have suffered every time. The whole family laughed as well, even the babies what caused Chris to grin as well.
TWO WEEKS LATER
The attic was crowded. Within these two weeks Wyatt and Chris had talked a lot and solved their problems. Leo and Piper had always been at their boss's side what both answered with happy smiles. Phoebe and Paige had written the spell to take the adults back while they had also spoiled their nephews.
Wyatt had drawn the soubriquet at the wall while Chris had checked once again the spell. After all Chris was known as a neurotic boy, in the present and future. What the boys didn't let anyone know that they were afraid of the future. Their gazes met and their eyes locked. Green met blue and like in the beginning they came to a silent understanding once again. Their memories would be changed and received new ones. Finally they started their farewells.
Paige hugged her little nephew as if her life depended on it. He was saved at least and had new powers. And he would be as powerful as Wyatt. Phoebe did the same with Wyatt. As they exchanged their nephews both cried.
The young men came to their parents. All hopes laid in the future where both were waiting for them while Gideon was now dead.
Chris said to Leo, "I'm sorry for all, dad. Valhalla and all the other things to my charges. Mom and the aunts!"
"Hey, it's OK. You did what you thought was right at the time!" Leo said truthfully kissing his forehead. Chris nodded and turned to his mother while Wyatt turned to the father.
"Mom, I'm really sorry!" Chris said again.
"Shsh. I understand, like your father." Piper spoke quietly holding him tightly. The vision of his possible death was still in her mind. Like in all family members.
Wyatt couldn't say anything and wanted to return to the future as soon as possible. He forced his mom and aunts together and took his brother's hand. The sisters spoke the spell and waved their good-byes as well as Leo. The young men walked through.
FUTURE
The attic was like they had just left it in the past. Wyatt's clothes and hair changed. His dark outfit was replaced with a white shirt and blue jeans, his hair was shorten. Chris' hair was also shorter.
"Hey boys! Time for dinner!" came a voice from the door. Piper and Leo stood there with gray hair waiting for a response. Not sooner the boys had seen their parents they ran to them and hugged them as if their lives were out off balance.
The foursome walked out and Wyatt closed the door with his telekinesis.
