Xander was laying down in his room, he knew he should be sleeping since it was late. Exactly how late it was he didn't know, all he knew was that it was dark, but he couldn't. Not with what was floating around in his head. He should be in Italy right now with his girls living it up, it was his birthday at least it probably was, he hadn't actually seen the clock. He wasn't though, he was here in his bed staring at the ceiling and trying to think but he couldn't stop the thoughts from coming into his head.

He had healed Kris somehow...he had healed Kris, that wasn't possible at all but yet it still happened and he had no idea how. He was waiting for Chris to come with an explanation, but it had already been several hours. Who knew how long it would take for Chris to tell him why he could suddenly heal. He then heard the tell-tell sound of orbing. He sat up on his bed and looked at Chris expectantly.

"The elders don't know anything." Chris said apologetically. Xander slumped back onto his bed.

"What? How can they not know anything?"

"They're working on it, but something is blocking them which must be real powerful since they're elders. However there is another way to see how you got these powers you know?" Chris tried to say as nonchalantly as possible.

"How?" Xander asked sitting up in bed.

"First of all I've got to tell you once you know there's no going back." Xander shook his head it didn't matter.

"I need to know." Chris smiled.

"Okay I brought this handy little spell just in case." Chris said pulling out a piece of paper.

"What do I have to do?" He asked as he stood up, and made his way to Chris side to see what was written on the paper.

"Just say it with me." Xander took a deep breath, wondering if he was really ready to see why he could suddenly heal but he needed to know.

"Okay."

"Tho we don't not live in towers show us the source of Xanders powers!"

"That spell is terrible." Xander said absentmindedly.

"Didn't exactly have a long time to work on it." that was when the scene faded to black. When the color came back they were in a hospital that much was clear. There was some moaning and groaning coming from the bed near them. Chris gasped as one of the nurses shifted and they could see the face of the person in the bed.

"What is it Chris?" he looked over at her she was very pretty, he had never seen her before, of course she was also drenched in sweat and obviously having a baby. He felt very uncomfortable and looked away from the scene.

"That's my mom." Chris told him, not the way he first wanted to see Chris's mom he thought with a wince as another loud grunt of pain came from her direction. He walked a bit further away from the scene. He looked instead at the hospital room, anything to take his mind of what was going on in the room. A sudden thought occurred to him and he blurted it out as he thought about it.

"What does any of this have to do with me?" he turned to Chris shrugged then looked pensive for a moment.

"Well there a small chance... actually it's the only thing I can think of that would do this...even though we said Xander powers it went to the source of mine instead." Chris seemed very uncomfortable, Xander didn't blame him watching your birth was very...eech. A few more moans and screams later which Xander was trying to ignore he heard crying, crying of new born baby. He allowed himself to look at the baby.

"It's a boy." someone said.

"Chris you make a really cute baby." Xander said with a smirk.

"Shut up."Xander watched Chris stare at his younger self.

"Shouldn't the spell be ending right about now?" wondering why they were still there.

"Yeah I'm born it should be over." Then someone said.

"Keep pushing." Xander frowned that didn't seem right. He looked at the face of Chris's mother and made sure only to look at her face. She looked tired and confused.

"But I just had the baby." Chris's mom said

"You're having twins didn't your OB/GYN tell you?" Chris's mom shook her head she looked very confused.

"What?! I can't be having twins." Chris's mom said confused and kind of angry.

"Well I'm sorry that's you didn't know. I know it must be difficult to handle but if you do not start pushing the life of the baby will become endangered." he saw Chris's mom nod worried but determined and then looked away as another series of grunts, groans, and cries happened again. Soon the sound of another baby crying could be heard. At this point Chris's Mom was crying.

"It's a boy!" the doctor told her again, then after a few moments the nurse came over to her with him in her arms. Chris's mom looked very tired but also very happy, she gladly accepted the newborn baby into her arms. Chris's mom starred at the baby face in fascination. Chris's mom whispered something to the small baby that he couldn't hear. That's when he looked back at Chris who looked very shocked.

"Chris are you okay?"

"Am I okay? No." he shook his head "This can't be real" a look of disbelief was spread over his face "This can't be true...my mom never had twins. Aunt Paige had twins but my mom never did."

"Thanks." Chris's mom said and both Chris and Xander back at her, she looked between her sons, in one of the nurses arms to one in her arms she looked very happy.

"Would you like me to hold him for a minute?" one of the nurses asked. Chris's Mom nodded and handed her son off to her but kept a careful watch over the both of them. That's when she seemed to notice the nurses holding one of the boys, and her unexpected son started walking away from her and the room.

"What are you doing?" the women stopped and turned around and said softly.

"Taking them be to be cleaned, don't worry we'll be right back." Then something happened, a sudden shift, suddenly the child disappeared from her arms, she looked confused for a second at Chris's mother then left the room. When the nurse left the room again, Xander happened to catch Chris's face. He was obviously not doing well with this new revelation, he was starting to get a little pale and his breathing was rapid.

"Chris breath, okay breath." he said concerned.

"How can I breathe when I have a twin brother out there." Then the shock look left his face for a minute as it got contemplative.

"What?" Xander asked, wondering what caused the sudden turn around in expression.

"Maybe this spell didn't misfire." Xander frowned, how could of the spell not misfired?

"What do you mean?"

"Maybe this is the source of your powers."

"What?" he was unable to get his mind immediately to go where Chris's had gone, but after several moments Xander was able to understand what Chris was getting at.

"You mean, maybe I'm the baby that just disappeared?" Xander asked incrediously.

"How else do you explain this?"

"I don't know, but-" Xander trailed off when the nurse came in the room and back up to Chris's mom.

"He's doing fine." she reassured her.

"Can I hold him?" Chris's mom asked.

"Are you sure you're up to it?" the nurse asked concerned.

"Yes, I just want to to see them..him." she shook her head a little with a small confused smile.

"Of course." I'll be right back with him." she was back within a few moments and placed the baby in Chris's mom's arms. They watched as Chris's mom counted his fingers and his toes. Chris's mind was spinning with the possibilities. His conclusion he had come up with a few minutes ago wouldn't leave his head, only now he wasn't as calm about it as he had been.

"No this can't be." Chris muttered shocked. Chris didn't have a twin brother but it looked like he did and Xander was his twin brother. Who had somehow disappeared and now Chris was confused to say the least.

The room faded out and for the first time since Chris had found out that Xander was his brother he looked at him. If Chris was overwhelmed, then Xander was panicking, he seemed to have gotten over his disbelief. He was breathing so sharply Chris was amazed that he hadn't heard it before.

"Xander breath." That didn't seem to help and only seemed to quicken his breath. That was of course when Xander legs buckled, Chris ran over to him and grabbed his shoulders to keep him from face planting onto the ground. The reassuring words died on his lips as both of them fainted and unbeknown to them, they orbed as one into the dining room of the manor.
