10. Chris' wiccaning

The day has come. Everybody was excited. All respectable demons who could attack the matriarchs and other ghosts had been vanquished by the sisters and their Elder. Piper and Leo were the ones who was overfilled with joy that Grams already accepted Chris as a male member of their family. It was known she had never been fond of them, so after that she learnt her adults great-grandsons from the other timeline the matriarch was pleased.

To this special for young Christopher Penny Halliwell wanted to be early at the Manor. After a short visit at her son-in-law who was also invited to the wiccaning ceremony (as an exception, by the way!) Grams decided to wake up the parents. Her granddaughter and her husband laid still in bed and slept peacefully what was fully understandable after this last year. Especially Leo had to suffer. His mentor wanted to kill his children. Penny thought if she could have survived it. Never mind, it was time to make her presence known.

"Piper, Leo, it's time for the blessing. Chris never got himself accepted fully in the magical community!"

The parents growled bad at that voice. Ever so slowly both opened their eyes to see a very awake Penny standing there and on the wait to hug. Leo spoke with tired voice, "Penny, what are you doing here so early? The wiccaning is in the evening!"

"I know that, boy. I want to see my great-grandson and his brother of course. I've already invited Victor to the show. Come on, get up! I think your sisters and sons are hungry, Piper!"

The mother mumbled something not so fine. "Grams, not that I mind, but you were a great cook before me!" Really slowly she nevertheless stood up while her husband followed her after a short time.

The excuse her grandmother gave her was, "I'm looking after the boys. OK? Be back soon!" With that she disappeared in the boys' room.

Penny smiled as she saw her two great-grandsons sleeping together in one bed. What confused her was that scary look on Wyatt's face. He must have dreamt something really bad. But the boys showed that the future of the Halliwell's was not lost. The adult versions had proven that already. However, she couldn't think any further as Piper called out for breakfast and the sound of the ringing doorbell to announce the arrival of her son-in-law.

A SHORT TIME LATER

Victor Bennett had been greeted affectionately by the family, including Penny. The once not so friendly members hugged each other lovingly what irritated the younger Halliwell sisters.

"Grams, Daddy, not that I mind," Phoebe asked curiously, "why are you suddenly so close to each other?" Paige looked at them the same way.

"Obviously you didn't hear what Wyatt had said as Chris had been freed!" Victor said.

"What are you talking about?" Paige questioned.

"You know, I'm a close person to Chris," Penny answered. The sisters nodded. "Well, so is Victor. And with the new baby we decided to come along." Victor nodded in agreement.

Phoebe and Paige were stunned. Obviously the older versions of their nephews had changed their minds.

"Where are the boys? Where are my grandsons?" Victor asked. His youngest daughter wanted to show where as all turned around hearing footsteps coming downstairs. They saw the little family. Leo, like always, was carrying baby Christopher who got blessed today while Piper had Wyatt at her hand.

Not sooner the young boy had spotted his grandfather he let his mother's hand go and ran to him. His grandfather took him in his arms and played with him after Victor had knelt down on his level. Wyatt had fun and squirmed with laugh.

The younger boy in his daddy's arms looked at them with awe in his big green eyes. All he wanted was to be by his older sibling. Tiny orbs engulfed his body but nothing happened. The little boy looked into his father's matching eyes, the same colour like his, with pleading ones. Leo whispered into his ear smiling, "Concentrate!" This time it worked and Chris orbed over to his older brother and grandfather.

The family was shocked for a moment. While Leo smiled, now proudly, but remained where he was Piper's reaction was kissing her boy's foreheads. Penny did the same. Phoebe and Paige cuddled him what Chris returned with giggling. Victor held him tightly while Wyatt kissed him on his temples.

Again their little hands met and the power force they had inherited was felt. Penny Halliwell's mouth hung open in shock. The matriarch looked at the parents who gazed briefly at each other.

Leo decided to answer Grams' unspoken question, "The boys are prophesied. Their destiny. Yes, Chris is twice-blessed, too and he himself had made of sure of that!"

"The other one!" she asked incredulously. The whole family nodded, except Victor who had the same look on his face like she. "Anyway, it's time for the blessing." The matriarch led the way upstairs and the family followed.

A DARK PLACE

"It's time," the male voice said. "They're starting the blessing. We're going!" With that all black figures disappeared.

MANOR – ATTIC

Grams took the little infant out of his father's arms. She looked into his emerald green eyes and remembered the other one. Along with his older brother. The little boy squirmed and giggled in his great-grandmother's embrace what Penny returned by kissing his cheeks.

As she straightened up it was the signal for the family to step close to each other. For a last time Grams turned around to look at the family and summoned with a wave of her hand her daughter Patty completing the family. Her husband, daughters and son-in-law greeted her with smiles. Except one. Wyatt.

The first male of the Halliwell's next generation observed the room with intense scrutiny and stopped from time to time at his little brother. This irritated the parents. Leo knelt down to his older son to ask him, 'What' wrong?' as Penny cleared her throat. The father stood up and looked at his younger son.

With all her power Grams summoned the mostly female ancestors to bless the new child. To confirm the name she looked at her oldest living granddaughter.

Immediately Piper reacted, "Christopher Perry Halliwell. Chris short." Leo nodded and added, "After my father." Grams confirmed with a nod as well.

The women welcomed their newest family member with a chorused, "Blessed be!"

The rest followed one by one with a "Blessed be!" First the grandmother, then the parents of the Charmed Ones, followed by the aunts and the parents of the newborn.

Wyatt watched the whole ceremony with curious eyes but was alarmed as he felt Chris' powers waken up and all of a sudden all family members were frozen. The older boy had kept eye contact with his younger sibling who of course was not frozen. Their sibling bond and powers were the only power working.

Men and women in black appeared and went immediately to Chris. Wyatt remained quiet.

FUTURE – 23 YEARS LATER

In the boys' apartment Chris laid on the couch and waited for his older brother to appear. His temper was short-lived like his mother's while his older brother seemed to be glued in front of the mirror. As he noticed a sudden change in his clothes and memories the brunette witch sat up and called, "Wyatt!" before passing out.

Wyatt ran into the room seeing his brother on the floor with black clothes. The blond man was confused and touched the younger one's hand to tap into his powers. He received a premonition and was shocked.

Immediately he drew with his telekinesis a triquetra by using a chalk, always here for emergency cases, while receiting the spell to go back in time.

Wyatt kissed Chris' temples briefly and put of his arms around himself before going into the portal. A little bit he knew what the blond man would find there but the scene that greeted him was eerie.

BACK TO THE PRESENT

Before these strange men could take him little Chris orbed into the safety of his older brother who raised his forcefield. Strangely enough the black figures only laughed. Wyatt was afraid of these strange men and feared for his little brother and himself. Not only the forcefield was their protection and for Chris as well as Wyatt's body.

All big and little people were distracted as the triquetra on the wall glowed and the adults pendants of the little boys stepped out. Taking in the scene the older Wyatt went to his little self to help him protecting their little brothers.

"You think you could win this battle," the leading man said in a threatening voice, "but the time is on our side!"

"Don't underestimate us!" the older Wyatt shot back. "We'll always be there to protect him. You cannot win!"

The men in black smirked. "We'll see about that, Wyatt. Yes, we know your name, all your names!"

"And I know you're the Avatars. You want to create Utopia, but not with the Halliwell's. That's a promise!"

"We are full aware of that. But I see our first attempt had failed. We'll be back. That's a promise as well!" With that they were all gone and the family could move again.

Big Wyatt could only look at his version of Chris whose clothes changed back to normal and awoke. He looked around and saw he was in the past, again.

"Wyatt, what have you done? We're in the past!" he said as patiently as he could manage.

Penny, Patty, Victor, Piper, Leo, Phoebe and Paige were stunned and shocked but smiled. This was so typical Chris. Wyatt also smirked.

"I did what was necessary to save you," the older boy responded.

"Why would I need saving?" Chris asked in disbelief.

"To become an Avatar." The younger boy's answer was an 'O'.

"How'd you know that?"

"I tapped into one of your powers. You know which!" The brunette nodded.

"Excuse us!" Piper said with clear hesitation. "What are you talking about?"

The boys looked at each other. Wyatt convinced his brother with a look to answer at least this question.

"The Avatars are after Chris to create Utopia!" the blond Twice-Blessed replied.

"Why him?" Leo questioned quietly. Still or again in shock.

The half Elder swallowed hard before responding, "Mom, Dad, Aunties, I know you want the truth. But I can't tell you. All I can tell you is that you the answer in a short time!"

"You couldn't be more cryptic!" Phoebe stated incredulously. Paige laughed. The other members did as well.

The little ones nobody noticed. Little Christopher had fallen asleep on the floor after this day. It was understandable, Wyatt thought. He was exhausted, too. The half whitelighter laid his hand on his brother's body to orb them to their room. Big Chris saw the tiny orbs disappearing and sensed them with closed eyes. The brunette let out a quiet sigh of relief before he went back to the conservation.

"Aunt Phoebe, remember me. What did I always say regarding the future?" Chris put in again.

"Future consequences!" came the prompt reply from the family.

"As I'd love to stay," Wyatt interrupted, "our version of Mom and Dad would kill us if we're not punctual at the weekly family dinner!" What he didn't expect was a playful shove on his upper arm from his younger brother. The blond smirked.

Suddenly the mother asked, "Where are your younger selves? I don't see them anymore!" Leo panicked now.

"Calm down," Chris put an arm on both his parents' ones. "They're downstairs in their room. Sleeping. Me with my big brother in one bed." The parents calmed down a bit and immediately went downstairs, but not before kissing a good-bye on their adult sons' foreheads.

With a wave over his head Wyatt activated the time-portal. Both brothers said together, "Good bye!" to their family before they stepped through it and returned to their own time.

"We'll have to go, too!" Penny said. The grandmother and mother vanished while Victor said good-bye as well and went home.

BOYS' NURSERY

Piper and Leo stood at their older son's bed and watched the boys sleeping. Wyatt had a protective arm around his brother's waist.

"What the boys said," Leo said, "made sense and explained Wyatt's strange behavior during the ceremony." His wife agreed nodding.

"Let's go to bed. It was an interesting day after all!" Piper said.

Kissing each other they went to sleep.

THE NEXT DAY

Phoebe and Paige were already at work while Piper and Leo took care of their sons. They went to their bedroom. Piper sat Wyatt in her lap while Leo carried Chris. Nevertheless the boys remained close together.

"Wyatt, what happened the night before?" his father asked. Piper held him tightly to assure him.

"Chris had always nightmares. So I put him in my bed, because my forcefield protects us both." He looked up to his parents who gave him a reassuring hold. "Everytime he reached with his hand for me, but last time I saw something."

"What did you see? Is this your power?" Piper asked kissing both her boys.

Wyatt shook his head. "I think it's Chris' power." His parents were in shock, but composed themselves together. "I saw, I saw Chris as a bad boy and grown ready to kill me!" He sobbed now. Chris felt it and put his tiny hand on his older brother's arm. The boy calmed down and smiled at his little brother.

"It was the opposite from the other timeline." Leo stated. "You saved him, Wyatt. Thank you!" But there was no answer. The boys slept in their parents' lap. Piper and Leo kissed, put them in their beds and enjoyed the day until Phoebe and Paige came back.
