I hope everyone's week is going well! Thank you for reading/ the reviews and I hope you enjoy!

Leo orbed into the attic beside the inspector with a sombre expression.

"We need to talk".

"I know." Andy sighed, taking another look around the attic.

"You can't stay here". Leo began, keeping his voice soft and gentle. "It's great that you've been here for the girls, but I don't know why Chris brought you here. He knows it's against the rules …"

Andy remained quiet and gave the Elder a nod.

"... But I also know that I can't do that to Piper yet. We need to get you back to Valhalla until the true battle begins. We need you there, but Piper needs you here too."

Andy gave Leo a smile. "Do they know I'm gone yet?"

"They alerted the Elders right away. They seem to think you're pretty important up there".

Leo's commented caused Andy to blush. He rubbed the back of his neck, looking down at the floor. "I'm nothing compared to these girls".

"I wouldn't say that." Leo smiled before disappearing into orbs.

Andy's eyes wandered back to the open page in the Book of Shadows. He let out a sigh of relief. The Elder hadn't seen the page that had just blown open. He leaned over and grabbed a piece of paper from the table near the couch in the attic and wrote the spell down along with the spell to return back to this plane.

Parlour

Paige laid on the wicker love seat with her feet resting on the coffee table while Wyatt napped in the playpen beside her. Andy slowly entered the room, careful not to wake the young sleeping Halliwell.

"Andy, hi". Paige spoke softly, putting her book down right away.

"Hi Paige" Andy flashed her his trademark grin before taking a spot in the chair beside her.

"How're you holding up?"

"I'm…" Andy bit his bottom lip, unsure of how much to let the youngest Halliwell know. "I've been better."

"It's hard." Paige took in a deep breath. "I never knew her, but a part of me feels empty still. I know I'm missing a lot by not knowing her".

"She was a great woman." Andy frowned as he pulled the paper out of his pocket and began playing with it in between his fingers. He wasn't sure if he should tell Paige about what had happened in the attic.

"How's Piper?" Andy asked.

"... She's chipper" Paige answered. "Too chipper."

Andy pursed his lips together. He didn't like leaving Piper at a time like this, but he needed to investigate what the spell meant.

Paige studied the Valhalla warrior. She had heard more about Mr. Andrew Trudeau than her own sister. Over the past two years, her sisters barely spoke about Prue. It always ended with Piper in tears and Phoebe leaving without a word.

The only time Paige was able to hear about parts of her sister's life was when either of them brought up Andy. They seemed comforted at the thought of their sister being with him.

"This isn't how she was when … I met her".

Andy instantly understood why Paige didn't finish her sentence. He knew why the sisters had met Paige again.

"I want to make sure she's okay before I go". Andy lowered his head, looking over to the blonde haired baby sleeping peacefully. The sisters' lives had changed so much in the past few years.

"I know it will be painful … "Paige began, taking Andy's hand in hers. "But, before you go, can you tell me about her?"

Andy looked up at the young brunette. She was a true mixture of all three sisters. Her chocolate brown eyes were on the brink of tears.

"Of course". Andy nodded, giving her hand a tight squeeze before leaving the Parlour. He made his way to the stairs and took them up to the attic two at a time. As a warrior of Valhalla, he possessed some levels of magic.

And - he hoped - enough to use this spell.

Prescott Street

Chris sat on the front steps of the Manor, gazing down at his fingers. He was fighting the urge to pick at his cuticles - a nervous habit he had as long as he could remember. He hated seeing Piper and Leo apart, even if it was for a greater purpose.

This was proving to be more difficult than he thought…

Chris looked up to the sky. Normally he found peace there, thinking of his mother … but not this time. Her presence was nearby and was something he hadn't felt since he was very young.

Leo orbed in front of the young blue-eyed stranger with his brow quirked up. Chris shifted in his seat on the steps and his shoulders dropped.

"You've made quite the mess" Leo gave Chris a firm but kind look. "They're trying to figure out what to do with Andy, I'm an Elder, and you … well, you're another complication in itself".

"You were going to become an Elder either way" Chris blurted out with a bit of aggression in his tone. "... I just moved it up a few days to save Paige".

"And how do we know you didn't change the future for the worse?"

"Because it's almost impossible for the future I came from to get much worse".

Leo bit his lip, resisting the urge to find out more about the future from the loose-lipped whitelighter. He studied the brown haired man in front of him. He looked as if he was only in his early twenties, but his soul was aged. His eyes had a depth to them that he was used to seeing in Prue or Piper. The expression of loss, wisdom, and a lost childhood.

"You carry a lot of pain". Leo's lips tightened. Chris' gaze fell to his feet for a moment before he looked back up to the whitelighter.

"So they didn't decide what to do with me yet?"

"Well, you've been the subject of heated discussion. One thing we agreed upon is you can't return to the future."

"I figured as much."

"The Elders voted to make you the Charmed Ones' new Whitelighter."

"They did?" Chris couldn't contain his grin. He had always dreamed of having more time with the sisters.

"It's a reward for helping save the Titans … but something tells me that you were hoping they'd do that." Chris could tell that Leo didn't trust him. He had tried to hide the negative feelings he had for Leo, but maybe some of them had surfaced.

"I just wanted to help". Chris eyed the Elder. He lifted his crystal blue eyes and held a hand in front of them to block the sun. He parted his two fingers, prepared to send the Elder away if needed. He couldn't let his past repeat itself.

"Good. Because I won't be around for a while and I need you to watch my family". Leo stared Chris down, his green eyes looking right through him. "Can I trust you?"

Chris left his fingers parted, hesitating. Leo's brow quirked up. Their eyes met again before Chris nodded agreeingly.

Leo let out a tight smile before orbing away.

Attic

Andy pushed the attic door open slowly, looking around to make sure no one was looking.

He pulled the paper out of his pocket and began to unfold it. He studied the words hesitantly. He had never said a spell before. It didn't seem natural to him.

Andy's deep voice awkwardly read the spell. "Magic forces, dark and light, bring me forth through space and time, to a plane in which is lost in time".

White lights surrounded the inspector. He hadn't moved an inch, yet his surroundings had changed quite a bit. He was still in the attic, but everything was completely silent.

He moved forward, causing the wooden floors to creak. "Prue…?"

There was no answer. His shoulders dropped as he began to make his way towards the attic door. Thankfully he had brought the spell to return him back to the normal world.

He had been so sure that he had felt her presence though. He had no doubt that she was near him in some way back at the Manor, but perhaps he had done something wrong.

"Prue!" He called out one more time. There was no way she could be very far if she was there. He had just felt her.

He pulled out the paper once more and let out a disappointed sigh. The spell to return him back was written underneath the one he had just used.

"Magic …" Andy began but was interrupted by the door opening behind him. His mouth dropped open in shock, prompting him to drop the paper. "Prue, I …"

Without hesitation, Prue threw herself into Andy's arms. His lips captured hers and the kiss grew in intensity. His arms surrounded Prue, engulfing her in a tight embrace throughout the kiss.
