Chapter 17: Family Preparations And House Renovations
"Dad, no, you're my mentor you promised, don't leave me, you promised." he said gripping his hand and he said it. "Get to me as my 29 year old self, and I'll be back to finish what are started Chris. I swear to that, you're still in training, we start at 11 years old and we got 15 years baby, remember. Remember May 2001, after your mother's powers activate, straight to the manor tell us and we take from there baby."
"You mother, aunt and me, we'll do the rest and you got us back, I love you son, be care, and back together in the end." he said and Chris nodded shaking. 'Oh Leo, don't do this to me, not again, please, damn it, damn it, Cole I'm going to kill you for this.' Piper thought trying to hold it in herself at that response as she saw her son shaking in grief as he said it, as he kept his grip on his hand, as he said it to him then sadly.
"I love you dad, if it takes risking my own existence, I'm insuring we get that second chance, I can't lose you again." Chris said through his crying and he smiled softly. "You will I promise son. And you'll never lose me once I figure out you're my son, I love you, of my two sons, you're my pride and joy, make me proud now." he said as his breathing started weakening as his head landed on the floor.
"Oh god!" Prue said as he grabbed him. "Dad, nooooo, dad, dad wake up, dad, Daaaad!" Chris said said through his crying as he slumped on the floor."No, I can take this, mom, dad, Mellie, I'm the only one left in my side of the family. Nooooooo! You bastards, I'm going to kill you, you hear me!" he screamed out in pain and anguish as he stood up and started firing lightning blasts around the room till he collapsed on the floor as he broke and started sobbing as he looked at his father.
"It's just us now Chris, us against him and the legions of hell, we're orphans now." Eric said as he buried his head into his shoulder and he nodded. "We're going with dad's idea, but jump back 3 years prior, gives us 3 years to prevent it, but us born first. And we can make it so that Wyatt is never born in the house, he never gets his powers. And directly after being born, he has to learn control and but we stop who did it we win."
"First mom, Mellie, Aunt Phoebe, Aunt Paige and now our father. Twenty eight years old self, dad, your twenty eight year old selves, you and mom, that's just before Aunt Paige came into the picture, that's my only chance. You gave me part of the truth to how the alternate me saved Wyatt, but it didn't work then, how do I change the future now, if it's happened once already, unless..."
"Unless I go back to the day when all four sisters are still alive in their timeline, twenty eight year old versions of my parents, that's the only chance we have to save the future, because though I tried when I was twenty one, my alternate self. Go back to before Wyatt is ever born, I can work from two years, before he's born, they trust me and I'm with my family finally, that's the key here."
"Even though I went back in time once to the year, before I was born, it still didn't work. It's my only chance, go back to just before Shax killed Aunt Prue, that's it, that's the key. I can change the future by getting to Aunt Prue, and my parents by giving the clues to who I am, and they trust me right off the bat. I don't have to hide my secrets from them if they figure it out on their own."
"Dad catches me in my lie first he and mom and are going to react like I'm really their son, we change the alibi to my being born in the 80's and I'm living at home after that. That's the key now and I'm now the first born after that in my parents eyes, I'm first born, Wyatt is next and little me is the youngest of the three of us and with that, the future is going to change for the better."
"You demonic bastard's exactly how long can you people expect me to take this, before you destroy me as well you parasites! I swear to god. I will make you pay for this, well if you want a war, you're going to get one now, but it's a war of attrition now. Return to the past, there is no fate, no fate, that's it, the future is not set, there's no fate, but what we make for ourselves."
"I'm a junior in high school and my life was destroyed, because of the evil that destroyed my entire family. But no more, the future is not set, there is no fate but what we make for ourselves. Well I'm making that fate, listen you asshole, you want a war, you're going to get one and I will destroy every last one of you. As for you Cole Turner, you're never getting your chance now, my family will live on and you're all going straight to hell when I get through with all of you."
"Screw future consequences, there is no fate, but what we make, and my family will prevail, so look out you devil's spawn. The ones who destroyed my family, I'll kill you myself, if you ever come near my parents or my family, you want a war, I'll give you one, it's a war of pre-emptive military tactics now you son of a bitch. Let's see you handle this in the past, because we're destroying every last one of you who ever had a vendatta!" They heard him scream out in anger then.
"I was the one who gave you this idea, how long did it take for you to finally bring it up Prue exactly?" Leo asked and he sighed as he answered him. "Maybe six weeks later, mom's been dead for three years, as was Aunt Phoebe. Aunt Paige, she was barely weeks prior to this. As was Mellie, in your eyes I was now your pride and joy, because I stayed good and he's turned on us dad." he said as he wiped the tears off his face then.
"That's one, Leo was your breaking point finally here, alright what about your sister and me?" Piper asked and he nodded as they saw him when he was fourteen, dressed in a mini version of her husband's favorite sweater and jeans as Piper watched her future self walked into his room smiling. "Honey ready, the guys just left and your sister is with your cousins today?" she asked and he nodded to her smiling then.
As they walked into the kitchen and loaded up a snack tray of popcorn, a few packages of candy and sodas an moved into the living room. "I take it we chose a movie marathon that day." Piper asked him and he nodded to her gently. "Yeah we rented a few movies and we decided on a movie and cooking that day, we were making dinner that night for the five of us and the rest of the family that night." he told her and she nodded to him.
"The 6 of us, so though I wasn't around as often as I could be, you, or rather we, still decided on acting as a family though your mother and I were supposedly separated or divorced at the time?" Leo asked and he nodded to him. "Yeah, mom told you she was pregnant with me after the spider demon and out of my anger at you never being around enough, which is what the DVD's are going to show, I beat the crap out of you."
"But this me, as you know me, grew up from the timeline in the DVD's, everything they show in season six is what happened. But baby me grew into my body and you tried to change things after I was killed dad, that is 22 years old me. But the future still played itself out and I decided to prevent that by going back further in time to this past week, to prevent it now." he said and the trio all nodded angrily at the news then.
Just as he was grabbing the remote several flame balls lit up the room and they both stood up then, as they saw five red skinned with black tattooed men and five more with the reverse. "Aw shit, it's the brotherhood, honey, together." she said and he nodded as they killed eight of the ten, before he heard a scream and saw her lying on the floor with leader poised over her with a blood drenched athame.
"That's for taking Phoebe away from me." they heard and Prue stood up from the table at that. "Belthazor, that's Cole!" she shouted in shock and he nodded. "You'll never get her back Cole, she belongs to Coop now." she said through labored breathing. "If I can't have her no one can, rest in peace, you bitch." he growled as he flared out and just as he was doing it. "Athame!" Chris shouted out and it orbed into his hand as they saw the anger and hatred in his eyes, he ran at him.
Coming at him, from behind he sliced his arm as a piece of flesh landed on the floor and he flamed out at that. "Mom, mom stay with me, mom. Dad, Dad, mom needs your help, dad, Wyatt." he started shouting. "Honey it's okay." she said weakly. "Mom don't, don't leave me, stay awake." he said frantically as she put something in his hand as he looked at what she gave him and Piper saw her locket. "Take this, it's yours now, I love you baby." she said as her breathing stopped then.
"Noooooooo!" he screamed as he broke down then and pulled her into his arms. "Mom, don't leave me, I need you, come back, please come back." He said crying as two orbs came into the room then. "Piper?, Piper wake up!, Noooo, god, what happened?" Paige snapped and he looked up at her. "Cole's what happened, he attacked us and killed her, she's gone, and I'm killing him myself!" he said as he stood up and got ready to orb as she grabbed him then as she looked at him gently.
"Honey don't, he's too strong for you." She said and Wyatt stood up his blue eyes blazing in anger and hatred then. "Him yes, but for me, not a chance, alright you asshole, you want to take out our family you got a war your hands now!" he screamed in agony then. "Alright, alright, I've seen enough of this clip, push it forward to your sister." Leo said with a furious growl in his tone then as he went further.
"So Cole was his breaking point, because of Cole murdering me, he finally loses his mind out of grief and he goes on a killing spree after this. I'm looking at the 'Attack Of The Clones' scenario here Leo, loss of his mother caused Anakin to wipe out the entire village, we got to get the entire series so we can insure that never happens. But whoever our Palpatine is, he's ending up dead before this ever happens and with that."
"Everything he told us that night is true, first me, than Phoebe, Mellie, Paige and your grandfather, and now your father was next, who's left of the family exactly, if Drake is dead in this timeline?!" Piper asked him quickly. "This point in time it's just me, Mellie, Dad, Penny, and Uncle Henry, along with Uncle Coop. The duo are so pissed, that Henry is ready to hunt him down and shoot him." he said and they nodded to that.
"Mellie he's turned on us, we rush things, it's going to get us killed, dad's chosen us, now, and he's coming to see us." Chris said as they saw a fifteen year old version of Piper standing next to him. "We've lost mom and Aunt Phoebe, what's left of our family has either gone to the darkside or is dead, grandpa's gone now. We have to take the fight to him, Chris, it's the only chance, Cole helped slaughter our family!" she snapped at him and just as she finished saying that.
A set of orbs lit up the room as they cleared and they saw Leo then. "Dad!" they said together as he pulled them into a bear hug gently. " Hey guys, listen to me baby, he's right, you rush the fight, it's going to kill you if you go in half cocked." he said though just as he finished saying there was burst of flames and they all looked up at that. "Cole don't try it, you already killed the girls, there's no use touching my daughter, get out of here!" Leo snapped at him and he smirked at him then.
"So the big bad elder wants to fight me, come on Leo try it, your darling children lost their brother and mother, what's left to fight for now exactly?" he snarled and he moved in front of her and Chris. "The act of not losing my babies, my youngest children, touch them and I'm killing you again, so get out of here. I'm giving you one chance, you already done enough damage to my family so get the hell out of here, before I kill you myself Cole!" he growled at him then.
"Your original version of the charmed ones are dead, all that's left is Paige Leo, your children are strong, but they're not the power of three. The Source has victory at last." he said, smirking. "Alright fine Belthazor, you want a fight, let's go at it?" Mellie shouted as she blasted him into the wall. "So you want to fight, little miss Charmed one, fine." Cole growled as he threw the fireball then and she ducked it as she got ready to blast him a second time then.
"No stop honey, don't!" Leo shouted out. "Mellie don't, don't do it!" Chris snapped he shoved her out of the way, but the power blast hit her dead on and scorched his arm. "Mellie, Mellie, wake up, wake up" He shouted out as Leo ran over to her and he saw scorch marks across her chest and lowered his head as Chris struggled to put some weight on his arm, before he got up then.
"Nooooo! Mellie, come on, stay with me, don't leave me." Chris shouted out as Cole flared out as he charged over to her, but Leo caught him. "Son, Chris stop, it's over, she's gone, Paige get in here, Paige."Leo said to him as he struggled to hold him then as he called out to her and she orbed in. "Paige give me a hand here, he's hysterical"He said and she nodded as she grabbed him."What happened now Leo?"she asked and he sighed. "Cole, she's gone." He said and as they struggled to him.
"No, Mellie, let me go, Mellie!" he shouted as Leo hold him back. "Son it's too late, she's gone." Leo said as Chris collapsed against and broke down as he buried his head into Leo's shoulder as he rocked him. "I lost mom and Mellie, you're all I have left. Dad don't leave, please don't leave me." he said through his sobs as Leo rocked him gently as they saw the tears pouring down his face. "I won't son, I'm not going anywhere. Shh." Leo said and they all nodded as Piper got it then.
"You two were even closer than the version in the DVD's and Leo got overly protective of you as a result, to him, you were his youngest, his pride and joy. That bastard slaughtered our family, alright enough is enough, I'm not leaving my cub alone around him. Phoebe I swear to god, he turns back and I'm vanquishing his sorry ass and making sure he stays dead this time." She growled at her and she swallowed at that.
"How do we know that Wyatt turned exactly, what about the gene defense,we discussed this last night, we're not born bad, power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely. For all we know this could be another lie." she said and Orlin crossed his arms. "With what I just saw, memories can't be tampered with Phoebe, his trauma is easy to see, alright son show us your brother after Cole killed your mother." he said and he nodded.
"As you saw from the brief glimpse, you're not going to like this, Pratt turned us outcasts and Wyatt was hunting us down., it's the greater good defense and all of us good beings chose a terminator 2 judgement day call here Orlin. Only you chose for me to hunt down the being, good or bad, that caused him to turn and destroy them. It's the entire story line." he told him and Piper nodded as she got it then as she said it then.
"Alright so I'm playing Sarah Connor, you're my Kyle Reese, and you came back to protect me till Wyatt is born and then protect him, and little you from whoever turned him in three years baby?" she asked and he nodded. "Yeah that's it exactly mom, I'm teaching you how to fight, improve your craft and together we can take them down and then when Wyatt is born, you, dad and I do it together." he said and the couple nodded.
"Alright let us have it, if our lives turned into that movie son." Peter said to him and he nodded as he got it started. "If that's what the attack looks like, what the heck is the reason for that exactly?" Drake asked and he sighed as he heard his remark and his past self say it for him. "After he lost it completely, he turned the house into a museum, but that's the very beginning, you'll see why I decided to come back in time, come here." he said and they watched as his parents walked to his side as he opened up the attic window and they looked at the state of their block in shock.
"Aw god, the entire neighborhood looks like a bomb hit it." Leo said it shock, before he could answer they heard a new voice answer that remark. "You could say that father, though I never expected to see you in the future, let alone Chris being the one to betray me." he heard and turned to see a young man of his age with curly blond hair down to his shoulders, a goatee and blue eyes and looked at him in shock. "Oh my god, is that Wyatt?!" Penny said in shock and he nodded to her
"Welcome back Chris." he said and he straightened up as he answered him. "Hello Wyatt, just short of week and you wait till I come back on my own to ambush us. You do realize that where I went, mom is still alive, she knows who I am and who you are." he said and he looked at him with an arrogant look on his face as Piper looked at him at the address in shock. "Wyatt?" Piper asked and he smirked as he answered her. "That can't be Wyatt!" Phoebe said in shock as they heard his remark.
"What don't recognize me mother, oh I see why, it's because in your time I haven't been born yet. Pre-emptive strike brother, before I'm even born Chris. Of all the people to betray me..." he said and Chris answered him firmly as he moved in front of her. "I didn't go back to betray you Wyatt, I went back to save you, keep our family intact." he said and he smirked. "Save, save me from what exactly?" he asked arrogantly to him and he sighed at thst.
"From whatever evil turned you then." he said and he smirked at that. "That's always been your problem, stuck in the good verses evil, morass. I'm so over that, it's all power, it always was." he said and Leo crossed his arms at that. "The one with the most power wins is that it son?" he asked and he smirked. "That's it, that's why I keep this museum, to remind everyone of the power of which I was born and that I possess." he said coldly and Chris answered that in disgust.
"To bad the rest of the city isn't faring as well as your little shrine here." he said and he answered him with an arrogant look. "You know it were anyone else, that just tried what you did, I'd kill them on the spot, I've forgiven Bianca, I can forgive you, if you promise not to cross me again." he said and Chris smiled firmly. "I think you know me better than that." he said and on that the five moved all at once at the battle got started.
"How the heck did you know that you had to deal with him, before Chris brought you back to our time exactly?" Penny asked and Leo smiled. "Parently intuition, less than a week together and our familial connection snapped into place automatically. So though he's not born in our time frame, we're still acting like parents and he and I worked as one regarding the amulet and the three of us did it together last night." he said and she nodded as they watched as Chris did a kamikasi run at Wyatt as the other fought it out.
As he lunged at him, he knocked him away from him. "Have you lost your mind." Wyatt said in shock. "Without mom neither of us, or Mellie, are born Wyatt, remember that, you send Bianca, and we will do this again. You will see me again. Just stand down now, you want me come back in two in half years, send Bianca if you have to, just wait it out." he snapped as Wyatt suddenly screamed out in pain as they then saw a young woman with her hand in his back.
"Whatever you're doing, do it fast, I can't hold him for long. I'm sending that message to Prue, Tyler and Derek, just get out of here." he heard and looked up to see his girlfriend standing behind him, and he nodded to her. "Hear these words, hear the rhyme, heed the hope within my mind, send me back to where I'll find, what I wish in place and time." he said and the portal opened and the seven of them all jumped through it as the sextet nodded and Sandra said it for all of them.
"Alright we've seen enough, we believe you honey, and this is our first priority now in your case. Girls, though we need you to continue helping innocents these next three years till Chris is born, your primary job is insuring whoever this evil or good being is, they never get their hands on him or worse. I'm hereby assigning you to familial detail and you just focus on your family boys." she said and they nodded to her then.
"Don't worry Sandra, we intend to find out who caused this and they're going to get it when we do." Piper told her and she nodded. "Piper, depending on how long it takes to run through those episodes you better do them in order till you get to season 6 and we learn who the culprit is. If you said it doesn't start till the door to magic school opens then Chris." she said as Chris looked at her then.
"You want to see the rest of the ending of that episode, because like I said this me was born after that version was killed?" he asked and they all nodded to him. "Yeah, but back it up to what happens when she's stalling him, because I get the feeling this has to have a major consequence honey." Piper said to him and he nodded as he rewound that portion of it as he tore the rug off the wooden floorboards and yanked something out.
"Frequency, time travel notions and we did that for you this time if they stripped you of your powers in this timeline at the time. By sending you the spell needed to reactivate them. I want to see how strong you really are son." Leo added to him and she nodded in agreement to his thoughts. "Whatever you're doing, do it fast, I can't hold him for long." Bianca called out to him and he nodded as he opened it and read it out.
"Powers of the witches rise, come to me from across the skies. Return my magic, give me back, all that taken from the attack!" he called out and they watched him start glowing blue, before Wyatt was free the power hold as he knocked her away from him and she's lands on a table leg. "No!" he shouted out as he blew him into the wall. As they watched him crouch next to her.
"Bianca, no, no, no, no." he said and they could tell he was trying to hold it in then. "Haven't we been here before." she asked and he smiled sadly. "And maybe we will be again." he said and she smiled weakly. "Maybe." she said as he sighed sadly. "No." he said as he tried to hold it in as she gave him the ring then as she finished her remark. "If you can finish what we started. Take the spell, so he can't send anyone else. Finish this, finish what we started honey." she said and he nodded as her eyes closed as he lowered his head then as Prue rubbed his back gently.
"Oh dear god no, not her too." Prue said and he nodded as he watched his adult self as he ran to the book then and read out the incantation. "Hear these words, hear the rhyme, heed the hope within my mind." he read out, before Wyatt fired a energy ball at him and he ducked the blast as he finished reading it out. "Send me back to where I'll find, what I wish in place and time." he called out as he the portal opened as he grabbed the page, tore it out and he jumped through it and landed in the attic and landed hard on the floor in front of Paige and the trio and she grabbed his arm.
"Oh my god, are you alright!" Paige asked and he nodded. "Yeah I'm fine, nice spell." he said as he looked at her with a gentle smile and they all could clearly see the love in his eyes and the gentle demeanor of a son and nephew to his parents and aunts. "Yeah seeing it from this angle we can see he's definitely looking at the four of you with the love of a son towards his parents and aunts." Prue said and let her version have it.
"I don't believe you guys, how could you not see this, the factors are all there, because A) he looks like Piper, but has Leo's eyes. B) is that he knows his way around the house, C) is that he knows things about you he couldn't possibly know unless he was family. D) is that the book responds to his Halliwell blood and E) is that the cat knows him on sight here." she growled sternly at the future versions of her version of the Power Of Three.
"Best guess is this how Grams was feeling when we showed up out of no where Prue, but then we don't have a toddler or a preschooler in the house and the sense of rightness with him here was getting stronger by the minute. Though the boys busted him and he told us the truth within six hours of his arrival." Piper said and she nodded as she rubbed the young man's back gently as the six elders hid smiles at the way their version was acting around them and him and Leo hid a chuckle as he answered her.
"Alright Prue take it easy, otherwise you're going to blow the holoprojector. I don't blame you whatsoever for that remark, but this is our future selves and not us, but you lose your temper and you're going to break something next. Oh boy and here comes that situation regarding frequency regarding that too." Leo said smiling and she chuckled as they watched him stand up then. "Yeah, but we just put it in like two seconds ago." Phoebe said to him and Leo started laughing at the bemused smile on his future self's face as he answered that.
"Yeah well you see, the way time travel works..." he started to say and Phoebe chuckled as she answered that. "Yeah, but I really don't to know, I have a little headache, so thanks." she said and Piper sighed as she crossed her arms then as she listened to her future self's remark. "You have some serious explaining to do, you man." she said and Piper answered that sternly as she looked at herself.
"Actually no he doesn't, it's future consequences and until he deems us ready to know, then the minor details are fine for now till we figure it out, that that's our little boy and bust him ourselves. So with that you better get your rear in gear and focus on the problem at hand regarding Wyatt, because the future is at stake right now. That young man that arrived is harmless and if he doesn't want us to know those future details."
"Because they could change his future entirely, than it's none of our business, so what if he's lied to us a few times, it's for the greater good. Everything he's done is for the greater good and get over yourself now, you fool, you're acting like Prue when we had that fight and we got everything on the table. And that young man who arrived, risked his existence to change the future, to save you and Wyatt, isn't that enough."
"Or do only his secrets matter huh, when those secrets are meant change things, he's our little boy, it's private. His personal life is just that you idiots, he's a good boy, a good man and he's showing that every time he's around you, and is acting like a son, not some stranger. But like he's family, why don't you just get a better look at him: his eyes, his face and look in the pictures of what you looked like nine years earlier."
"Because if you can't tell he's even your son, than you're not me at all, because a mother knows their Cubs on sight, even if they're adults, they know. If he's been spending these last four months with you, acting like a son, and working at being your whitelighter, maybe you should take him seriously without cross examination. And not when they're are more important things at stake, like say making sure the youngest stays good."
"And our family never gets destroyed at the moment, after Prue. He's harmless and he's trying to protect you and save Wyatt, isn't that enough. So cut it out with the cross examination you fool and focus on the matter at hand. And leave my son alone, it's none of our business till he deems it to be and that's it." she said and pulled Chris into a position between her and Leo and as they wrapped him in a hug and he closed his eyes.
"For us, the sense of right with you here was getting stronger every minute baby. Dropping key details to us regarding the hazards of being born in the house, preventing Cole from killing an innocent, bringing Andy back. And insuring your father and I are together, and stay together. And giving us a chance to act like parents, has pulled it off, your future versions of us have their wish, we believe you, every word of it."
"You're my son, my little boy, I'm never letting go, you get your wish of us watching you go through the biggest milestones of your life and are back with us again." Piper said, running her hand through the hair at the nape of his neck and he pressed his forehead to hers as Leo hugged him tightly as he looked at the eighteen year old smiling. "You're my son, they want to mess with you, they got a furious father bear on their heads now."
"And you're right, on every count, if we can't even see this in the future, it's because we'd gotten too battle hardened and egotistical since Prue was killed at the time. That boy is my son, if our future selves can't even see this, than they're not us at all, because a parent can see their children for what they are, even if they're adults they know. My future self saved us from the same fate by sending him back three years too soon."
"But we pulled it off and knew our little boy on sight and with that fact in mind, we're not doing cross examination. Until he deems us ready to know the truths of his past, he's getting his warnings taken seriously and he's living at home now." he said and ran his hand through the hair at the back of his head as they felt him bury his head into Leo's shoulder. "Don't worry baby, the repeat of this situation never happened you're at home where you belong, it's going to be okay." Piper said and he nodded, smiling, to her.
"Evidently my future version was hoping I'd react like this to you being here honey, and she was right, well, their wish of us taking your warning regarding your brother seriously and accepting you right off the bat came true. Because we do and did, and now you're the first born, with your brother being born in eighteen months to two years." Prue added as she smiled at him gently. "I'm lucky I busted you when you arrived, son."
"Because, otherwise, this would result in the same scenario, but no, instead I catch you in your lie first. Because your mother was apart of my life, since we were preschoolers and I watched her grow up. It's that simple, you look like your mother and have your father's eyes and the rest of the clues start showing up right after that." Andy added smiling as he looked at him proudly then as his grandmother smiled gently.
Looking at them he smiled. "Having Uncle Andy bust me was the best thing for all of us now, this way I don't have to hide that fact from you. And with you alive, Aunt Prue, you're going to take it far more seriously than the future versions of my version of Power Of Three, of three years from now, ever did then. That is if my adult version decides not to drop in to see you, because he became a true whitelighter." he said and they nodded.
"Yeah well as before, the future consequences remarks we can take, just reveal the sequence, when reviewing these DVD's as each episode plays out and we play it by year. Though if Cole's annoying Phoebe, because he doesn't have his powers, let alone he's pressuring her to marry him. I'm not taking that in the house if it results in a vocal fight and bickering match when it's my turn at the plate." Prue said in annoyance then.
"Yeah well thankfully in this timeline you're still alive once we play that bait and switch on Shax later. Just say the spell, before he shows up, get into the basement and stay put. The added spell is I'm turning her into a clone and she's taking your place at where we had you buried. While, once Paige comes into the picture, you're reactivating the second the Source thinks the Charmed Ones have been reconstituted."
"What are the chances of being able to fix this now?" he asked and she smiled. "Very high now, with the fact that Andy busted you the second you met him and you just telling us this truth the second we dealt with Cole. You just insured our chances at taking it far more seriously then our alternate versions ever did. But that's not us at all baby, the idea of being born in the house and being a witch/whitelighter hybrid."
"The amount of power going through you is dangerous, if something is screwing around with your morality. That we understand all too well after we got a taste of it with your aunt. And Andy got infected by the nexus, after the professor did, all in all, your mother and I understand this way too well, after learning about Phoebe's past life and the fiasco with the nexus. So we're taking your warning seriously now." she said to him gently.
"You being my son, I'm acting like you remember me baby, the me you know and screw the third degree inquisition, with you here we have a chance to act like a couple and I can split the difference between mother, wife and a sister now. But starting now you and father are my top priority as of now, between now and when Paige comes into it, we act like a family and no more questions, you have our trust and nothing is taking it away."
"We love you honey." Piper said and Leo finished that remark. "Your mother's right son, with the fact you just showed us the truth and gave us that sneak peek, the third degree is thrown out of the front door. You're my top priority and screw playing favorites, you're being treated just the same now, you're my top priority and our bond as you know it is back in place, we're going to make it now, and we're going to win." he said and Chris grinned as they pulled him into a hug and he closed his eyes in relief and happiness.
Listening to their conversation, they could tell their future versions were relieved they accepted him that fast, as Andy, Piper, Penny, Patty and Kalina exchanged gentle smiles then as they listened to the rest of the episode. "I know, listen I'm sorry I lied to you. I really am, but..." he started to say and Piper interrupted him at that, her tone going stern, as she sighed. "No, no buts, it's about time you told us the truth. Now." she said and they watched him shake his head as he answered her gently.
"I can't, but not because I don't want to, but because there's only so much I can tell you without the future being changed too much." he said and Piper finished that with a growl, holding on to his arm. "And there is such a thing as future consequences here, stubborn maybe, but his reasons of holding this back from us are a valid one. Now again, back off and let it go already." she said sternly and Chris smiled as he listened to the next remark, knowing this was getting his parents attention then.
"Um, isn't that the whole point, you coming back to change the future?" Paige asked and he nodded. "Yeah, but that was supposed to be more of a surgical strike." he said and Leo watched his future version answer him gently. "To save Wyatt?" he said and he nodded. "To save Wyatt." he said and Leo smiled proudly as he looked at his teenage son then, smiling. "And to save all of us while doing it, that's a very noble thing to do son, to risk your life just to save us and your brother."
"And again, the future consequences remarks we can take, but as we review the episodes, just give us the details so we know where and when to change it and it's no longer future consequences, because you never really told us what happens in the future. That's not tampering with the future, and neither is giving your mother and me a bit of time part, if we'd been first year parents, we just needed a second chance."
"And you gave it to us, by setting our relationship on hold a bit till we were ready and look at us now. Our relationship is never going to fall apart, you're our oldest boy and we're happier than we've ever been now. As to that, that's not changing the future, it's giving us a better chance to save it now, in fact. It's giving us a pre-emptive strike to prevent this from ever happening again." he said and Chris nodded to him, smiling.
"Your father's right honey, you chose the best decision for both of us, we were having problems by the time Wyatt was three months old and it was hard to find time to being a couple, co-dependency issues. I rely on the girls way too much and I need more time to be a wife and less time as a sister. He needs to get started on his own life, activities, excetra. But all in all, you acted as the marriage counselor and pulled it off."
"And that's not messing with our lives, it's making them even better than they were before, adult you chose the best choice for us and you just telling us straight off the bat, we have more time to being a true family, before your brother is born now." Piper said and he smiled as they looked at him, smiling gently. "I'm just glad I got you back, I can heal now by being with you, and our family is getting its second chance."
"But as I'm the oldest of the family now, I can act the older brother with the boys and help you out mom. Our bonds as family get stronger and we're happy, I just have to train Paige to control her powers and with my being here, you got a chance to know what happens when you combine both sides together now. When said child is a teenager." he said and she smiled at that as she hugged him and he tightened his arms around her.
"What about Bianca?" Phoebe asked and he sighed sadly. "Do you really have to bring that up, he's already heart broken and he's lost everything that ever mattered to him Phoebe." Darryl asked with a stern growl and Prue nodded in agreement as they watched him say it, though his eyes were loaded with grief. "Bianca won't be a threat to anyone, anymore." he said and they nodded as they watched her answer him gently.
"I'm sorry." she said and he nodded. "Me to. So you guys alright with me still hanging around here?" he asked and they nodded. "I don't know why I never offered to let you live in the manor from day one. Because that's what we did when you arrived and we got you back in your bedroom as well, than again, this isn't me, at all. In fact it's just another version of my life, one I regret with all my heart and I fixed that easily."
"If they can't tell that you're their son, than they're not us at all, because your half truth was enough to make us treat you like you were, before Andy busted you and you dropped the bomb on me that night. But my mothering instincts kicked in hard after Cole blasted you that night, you're my little boy, my first born son, and I'm not giving you up without a fight now." Piper said and he smiled as Leo listened to his future self then.
"Absolutely, but the next time you're in trouble, you got to tell us, the trust works both ways." he said to him and he nodded. "Okay." he said and left the room as they watched him walk up to Piper and Leo's door as they saw an eight month old baby in a playpen. "Is that Wyatt?" Sandra asked and he nodded as he watched himself as he crossed his arms as he looked at him gently. "If I can't save you, I swear to god I'll stop you." he said to him gently as Leo looked at his infant son sternly.
"And we will, if we can't save you, we swear to god we're going to stop that future from coming true at all costs. Screw the gene defense Phoebe, being born in the house is highly dangerous. Because you have a more likely chance of going either way, and to the victim it's frightening, to us it just makes it more clear, it's a matter of morality, you can choose to be good and use your powers to fight evil and protect innocents."
"Or you can choose to turn and you become the very thing you swore to destroy, that crock regarding good or evil is just an excuse to murder innocent lives. And it's not happening on our watch now, the future isn't endanger of him, it's for whoever caused him to turn. And when we find it, they're winding up dead when I get through with them." Leo said as he crossed his arms as he looked at his infant son then.
"So nineteen years and eight months old and he's the reason we don't trust your adult self the second you arrive. Son did you ever mention the born over the nexus situation to us when you arrived, at the time?" he asked, before he could answer a bright flash lit up the room and they saw the adult version of him appear in front of them. "No dad I didn't, fact of the matter is that this situation was fast making it harder to get you to focus."
"I couldn't tell you the truth of who I was, because it was going to screw with my future, his future. And I'm sorry I didn't, but it doesn't matter anymore anyway, eighteen year old me has a better chance at stopping this then I did now. So what's this mean now for you and mom?" he asked and he smiled gently at him. "We're stopping it at all costs son, we made several mistakes in not trusting you and not listening, but no matter."
"It's getting rectified now, if my reaction is what I think, I would have killed whoever stalled me long enough to lose you, and it's not happening again. You have your wish about us: Piper, Prue, Paige, Andy and me taking it seriously and we're preventing his falling at no matter the costs now. I'm not losing you again." he said to him and he nodded as he gave him a hug then. "Aside from that teenage is you is staying."
"Until you're twenty four, but our you is getting a chance to have me see him go through the biggest milestones of his life now. Whatever that version of me said to you, she's not me at all, if you arrived the year before, I'd trust you immediately and take your warnings regarding your brother without the cross examination and everything else. You're my son, both of you and you're all that matter to me." she said and he smiled.
"I love you so much mom." he said and she smiled as she gave him a hug then and he tightened his arms. "With two of you in here, this is getting confusing, so for now, till we separate here, I'm calling you by your middle name and my you by your first. But at the moment if she couldn't see you're my oldest version of you, than she's not me at all. Baby, whatever she, what I said, I take every word of it back."
"Clean slate, fresh start, you're our son, but we're not forcing you to tell us anything we get the rules. So if I have this right, you split us up so he could become a elder to make room for you as our whitelighter, Perry?" Piper asked and he nodded to her. "Yeah that's it exactly mom, dad had to become a elder for two reasons, A) to make room for me as your new whitelighter, and B) so my powers would offset Wyatt's now."
"Andy had it right, I'm half witch, half whitelighter and half elder, thrice blessed, my powers are much stronger than his are, but with being born in the hospital, I had a year delay, before my powers came to full power after that. As for dad, with two whitelighters in the house your direct opinions over this were we have enough people orbing in and out and at this point we don't need another one." he said and she chuckled at that.
Looking at him, she saw what her version would grow into and saw the caring young man he was. 'Just short of week and already our relationship is that of mother and son, I'm not letting go now and with that, he knows everything I'm thinking because evidently we were beyond close.' she thought as she answered him. "I'd say you know me too well to realize that if you're repeating some of the stuff I told your father and aunts."
"And you're right, we don't, but then if this remark was weeks after we lost you and your father was in trouble with the elders. That's my direct opinion, because your father was my whitelighter, and after losing big you, after little you was three months old, I didn't want anyone else but you and your father. Both sides, whoever our un-named perp was, tore apart our family apart and frankly I just wanted our family back in one piece."
"So wasn't that enough, after you sacrificed yourself to save your brother, all I wanted was you back, you're my oldest, and though I had little you, I wanted big you back, was that it?" she asked and he nodded to her gently. "Yeah it is mom, I understand perfectly. But with teenage me in the past, this past week, we have a better chance at surviving this this than if I had come when he was four to five months old now here."
"But don't worry, in this timeline we have a better chance of surviving this, now, than when I arrived four months after Wyatt was born. You have two whitelighters right now, and teenage me, that's enough power and then when Aunt Paige arrives that takes care of that later. In this time frame, you all know who I am on the first day, and I've made you happier than you've ever been now, so we go from there." he said and she smiled as she pulled him into a hug and he tightened his arms around her smiling.
