Thank you everyone for reading! And thank you lizardmomma, Beuty6, , for the reviews :)
Mony19, I agree with you about Chris being more powerful. In the show Wyatt has some more power from being the first born, but I feel like Chris had more willpower too. Over the next few chapters, we will see more hints for Wyatt.
Phoebe's Vision
…...
Phoebe slipped out of consciousness as her vision quest took over. The Charmed One's vision blurred and her stomach turned as her mind was consumed with the vision. It felt much stronger than the few moments of faintness that came with her premonitions.
Her surroundings slowly became more clear as the dizziness also dissipated. She was in the Manor, but the baby toys she was used to seeing were no longer covering the floor. Instead, there were two bicycles leaning against the stain glass windows.
"Aunt Phoebe" a tiny voice whispered behind her. She turned to see a little girl with brown hair and hazel eyes standing before her. She had to be around six or seven years old and there was no mistaking who her parents were. She looked just like Piper did at that age but with Leo's eyes. She had a strong resemblance to Wyatt as well.
"Mommy needs you upstairs" she proudly informed. Phoebe felt bad that she didn't know the little girl's name. She stood in awe staring at the little girl. It was then that she noticed her bulging stomach that was stretching through a nice floral shirt. She placed a gentle hand on it and smiled.
Phoebe nodded at the little girl just as Leo orbed in. His forehead was covered in sweat, his face pale.
"Anything new?" He asked, looking at Phoebe. She shook her head no instinctively.
"Piper wants me upstairs. Maybe she has something". She improvised. She had never seen Leo look so distraught, except after Prue's death.
"Hi Daddy". The little girl lifted herself up on her tiptoes to hug Leo. A smile crept onto his face as he lowered down to embrace her.
"Hi sweetie".
She pulled out of her father's embrace and turned to Phoebe. She held her hand out in a demanding way that reminded her so much of Piper.
"Mommy says to hold your hand on the stairs".
Phoebe smiled and took her niece's hand. She wondered how many other future family members she would still be able to meet.
Attic
Phoebe's heart dropped as the trio entered the attic. Piper sat at the table with her head in her hands. Piper lifted her head up from her hands to reveal her tear stained cheeks when she heard them enter the room.
"Phoebe, thanks for coming so quickly".
Instinctively, Phoebe wrapped an arm around Piper. Even if this Piper was aged, she still reacted the same. She looked around the room to take in the differences. Along with the stack of boxes for Prue's possessions, there was another beside it. Three boxes marked "Paige" sat beside them. It was them Phoebe remembered some of Chris' first words to them. He said that Paige hadn't survived the Titan's attack.
So this is Chris' future … But we still haven't changed enough saving Paige. If so, I wouldn't be here.
"What can I do?"
Piper's chocolate brown eyes looked up at Phoebe.
"We need use this spell. I'm hoping the magic of two Charmed ones and the specific wording will help us get Wyatt back".
Phoebe had to take a moment to catch her breath.
Wyatt had been kidnapped. That's what this was all about. This was all a lot of information for her to process.
Phoebe looked down at the spell and nodded. She held out her hand to Piper and helped her out of the chair. The two sisters stood side by side, holding hands.
"Be he far, or be here near, bring the Charmed One's child here". They chimed in unison.
White lights filled the room and a young boy around eight years old stood before them. Phoebe studied his features. She knew who he was instantly. His green eyes were partially covered by his dark hair, but Phoebe had no doubts.
She looked over to Piper and remembered it was Piper's first time seeing the boy. Her sister's face was now even more pale as she fought the urge to burst into tears.
Piper's hand flew up and covered her mouth in shock.
The little boy stared down at the floor. He didn't seem scared at all, just shy. It was a different side of him that Phoebe wasn't used to seeing.
"Leo" Piper choked, finally finding her voice. "Is this possible?"
Leo looked just as shocked as Piper did.
"I… I don't know".
Young Chris looked even more like Prue. He didn't have his father's masculine features yet.
Piper advanced closer to Chris. He didn't flinch.
"Who's your mom?" She asked, taking a deep breath in.
"I am" Prue's voice was heard before she was visible. She appeared in the blue and white lights of Andy's orbs. Piper's hand went to cover her mouth again. She took two steps forward and fell into Prue's arms.
"Prue, how is this all happening?" Piper sobbed into her sister's shoulder.
Andy looked over to his son and smiled.
"We'll get into that later. Right now we need to save your son".
"That's what I thought we were doing" Piper huffed, not leaving Prue's side.
"Sweetie, take us to Wyatt" Prue instructed, holding her hand out to her son.
"We already tried scrying".
"Chris and Wyatt are linked magically, just like you and I" Prue smiled, giving Piper's hand a tight squeeze. Phoebe ran over to grab Piper's other hand.
"Oh no missy, you don't get to come pregnant". Prue pointed a finger at Phoebe.
"Sorry Prue, there's no way I'm leaving any of you right now" she replied, joining in on Chris' orbs.
Underworld
The three original Charmed Ones orbed in with Chris to the Source's lair. A boy she knew had to be Wyatt was being held in a crystal cage. The young boy was around nine years old and she couldn't help but smile at the changes she could see in him. His looks definitely still favored Leo, but his hair was now a dirty blonde.
The Source turned when he heard the foursome appear. He stopped when he saw Prue.
"Prudence Halliwell …"
"Surprised to see me?" she asked, nodding to Chris who orbed away. His head was covered with a hood, but Phoebe watched him look up at Chris' orbs.
"Another Charmed child…"
Prue's face hardened and she advanced closer. Piper held her back. Leo orbed in beside the girls after tracking Chris' orbs.
"You guys get Wyatt, I've got him" Prue whispered, pointing at the Source. Before Phoebe could react, Prue telekinetically sent one of the crystals holding Wyatt across the room. The Source watched it fly and Prue marched closer to him.
Wyatt ran to Piper's arms right after Prue freed him. Piper covered the top of his head with kisses and looked up to Prue.
"I've taken you out before, and I can do it again" he growled.
Prue's green eyes hardened on him. Several demons flamed in the edge of the room.
With the wave of her hand, she sent all of the demons back with an explosion of telekinetic power just as Piper had seen her use in the future where Phoebe was burned at the stake. The Source fell to the ground as well.
"I'm stronger than I used to be" Prue quipped, turning to take Piper's hand before Leo orbed them away.
"We must end her" he seethed as he pulled himself up from the ground. Phoebe forgot how much she hated him, especially when he was threatening her sister.
…..
Dizziness overtook her again as she began to drift back into reality. She could feel the pull of the tea she drank letting go of it's mental hold on her.
"Did you get any answers?" The Seer's voice asked. Phoebe blinked a few times to take in her surroundings. She was back where she started.
Phoebe raked a hand through her short brown hair and let out a tight sigh.
"Yes … and more questions".
Underworld - Reality
The Source paced around the room, his fists clenched tightly.
"No one has managed to get past their magical barrier". A mid level demon informed, bowing at the Source's feet.
"Find out if the witch is there. If she is we must destroy her and put an end to her powers. Otherwise she will just find another way back" he huffed.
"Sir, to affect her magically we must either have her here or get someone close to her …" The Dark Priestess informed. She was wearing a black dress which was covered by a black lace cloak. Her cloak dragged along the dirt covered floor as she approached the cloaked demon.
"Draw them outside" she whispered. "And we will find out what the new surge of power is as well".
Manor
Chris orbed into the Conservatory with a mentally exhausted Phoebe.
She let go of his hand and fell onto the wicker love seat. Chris's lips tightened as he looked down at his aunt.
"What did you see?"
"A lot, Chris …" She sighed. "I don't like that future already".
She could tell he was trying to read her. He couldn't say anything in return that could give away future information.
"Same here" he replied quietly. A smile crept on Phoebe's face.
"I saw how we met you the first time" she added. Chris's lips curved up into a smile. "But I don't understand why Prue didn't come to us sooner?"
"Mom and Dad are soulmates. His soul was meant to be on Valhalla so they were both bound there magically … Once the Source kidnapped Wyatt, it began the motions for the Ultimate Battle. Warriors were no longer bound".
"And what about now? Are they here because the battle is starting early?"
Chris hesitated. He rubbed the back of his neck nervously.
"I don't know. Right now Mom's bound the the physical plane because she's pregnant. I don't know what happens once I'm born".
Backyard
Barbas shimmered in beside a tree in the Halliwell backyard. He took a moment to take in a deep breath. He hadn't felt air on his skin for over a year thanks to the witches.
He took a step closer to the house and held his arm out to touch the wall. An electric shock went through him and sent him two steps back.
"Clever..." he snickered. His iconic smile came out. "Very clever". He held his hand in front of the house hoping to be able to read someone's fear.
