Chapter 18

Third Point of view

Chris' words rang in the room. Everyone knew that this was the code that they needed to have a real conversation between each other. For the Halliwells it meant that it would be moment of truth. The moment when they would know what they could get and why. For the Wienburgs it meant that Chris was ready to move on with his life, but this time including his biological family. And if you asked them they were pretty happy with the situation. They saw that even if Chris moved on, but the effect the Halliwells had on him was there and it was a heavy luggage.

Chris was still sitting on the floor and looked at his family. Family that was always there for him and his problems. Then in about a minute he looked at his biological family. For several moments he considered them.

Helena was the first to broke the silence that was in the room. She understood the situation was difficult for all of them and understood that she needed to cease the tension or nobody would do so.

"You will have a talk but after we get the room clean and have a cup of tea." When her words were spoken everyone in the room were set in movements as if she said some code phrase.

They started cleaning the room. Some put the sofas in order, the others removed the signs from the wall of the living room. Chris got up and left for kitchen to prepare something to eat. Helena followed him. Piper wanted to go too, but Leo stopped her.

"Don't, they need to talk."

"But…" Leo only shook his head. Piper seeing that she got no choice just stared at the floor.

At the same time in the kitchen, Chris started making the meal, Helens stood there too watching her son's movement. She was the first to begin the conversation.

"How was your trip?" Chris didn't answer for several moments, just continued what he was doing.

"Good, I remembered a lot of things about you all. How you laugh, how you helped me, how you cried with me and many other. But I don't remember it about them... Well, not exactly that, I don't remember them doing so with me." Chris answered honestly.

"What do you want to do?"

"I want to give them a chance to know me and for me to know them. But I still don't know how." For a minute he was silent. "I saw their memories about me. Piper and Leo thought about the time when I was just a baby, they don't have other good memories. Paul and Wyatt have something when I' a bit older, but once again not old enough. And these are rare. And I, myself, don't have a lot of them, so I want to create something, something that will fill the gap in my soul, something that bring them back to me and me to them."

"Chris, it won't be easy. For the first time in millennia you'll have to talk to them about your feeling, how you feel and want thing to be. Something you never were good at. We understood you because you are part of the Neutrals, we are in some way part of you. We have the connection by nature. And you'll need to find this connection with them."

"I know it's going to be hard. But I'm willing to try." With that Chris finished putting things on the tray then he took it and went to the room with Helena at his feet.

The room changed back to what it was before, the whole furniture were put in place and both families were sitting in sofas, discussing something between themselves. When the two made their way in the room both families stopped talking and watched the mother and son putting things on the table. They gave each of the member of the family their cups with tea and plates with the dessert. When all of them were sat, Piper broke the silence.

"Chris you wanted to tell us something." Piper said. "But before you start I want to tell you that no matter what I love you, I always did. And six months ago I realized what I did with your life it broke me. I'm sorry. I know that maybe I don't deserve to be forgiven but still I want to you to know that."

"Yes, I wanted to discuss with you what we're going to do next. I can assure you that I want to be a part of your family, but I also don't want to stop being part of theirs." With that both families took a deep breath, Halliwells because they were given one more chance, and the Weinburgs because that Chris would finally find peace with both part of himself. "I want know all of you, and you know me but it won't be one moment thing. Before I do anything further, I need to be sure that you want hurt me, won't betray my trust as you did so many times. I want to believe you that you love me Piper, but I can't just believe your words, because there eighteen years when your actions said a different story. I let you try, but I won't be the only one you need to find peace, to know and accept." With that he looked at his family. "You have to win their trust to." With that he nodded at Helena and Simon. Both man and woman smiled at him slightly.

"If it's what you want, I'm willing to give you that. I saw the way they look at you, the way they protect you and the way the understand you. If to win you back in my life I need to meet them and have them in my life, I'll do it." Leo said looking straight in the eyes of his second born. He wanted to get up and hug him, but he knew that it was too early for this.

"I agree with dad, Chris. You're my baby brother, even if you're not the youngest, I want to learn about you, I want to have what I have with Paul and I want you to have with me what you have with them. I don't know what they remembered about you while we were performing the ritual, but they all were smiling. I want to smile the same way thinking about you, with love and adoration, something I never get to do." Wyatt bit his lower lip as if afraid to ask something else.

Chris seeing his confusion, stood up and came to him and hugged him briefly. Wyatt was glad to accept it, with a smile blooming on his face.

The next to talk was Serena. She listened to the ordeal carefully, seeking any sign of deception, when he didn't see or hear any, she decided to speak up.

"I hope, you will treasure him, like we do. He's not only one of the Nuetrals, he also part of our family. I don't know what the rest of my family thinking, but I will protect him, even if it's you who are his enemies. But first I'll follow Chris' lead and give you a chance."

"So, you're coming back?" asked Paul with hope in his eyes. "Are you coming home with us?"

"No, I don't. but I will no longer hide myself from you. And eventually I will be coming to the manor and maybe even will consider it as my home. But right now, I stay here and we can meet with each other. This is my home, where I have everything I need to have a happy life, which I want to share with you. In this city I have my business, my friends, my entire life." He so the slumber of his brother's shoulders. "Paul, I's just New-York, it's not that far away. You can orb here whenever you want." Chris looked at Piper, she was the only one who hadn't said anything yet. He could see the fight that was inside her heart. "Piper, what do you say?"

"I say, as long as you want it go this way, it will go this way. I want more, I want you home immediately, where I think you're safe. But I also know that it's much safer here for you. And I agree that before rushing into the living together under the same roof, we need to know each other. " It was hard for her to say so, because she really wanted to drag him to San-Francisco, but got that it wasn't the best option in their condition. "So, you have a business, which is what?"
