Saving My Family
Disclaimers: The show and characters don't belong to me, the story belongs to me everything else belongs to the creator and the movie company.
Warning: With this chapter they start getting everything they need to get the house ready now. As they begin work on the house and and things are quiet till Look Who's Barking starts. Each episode is going to stay the same, but there's going to be a couple changes to it and Prue is alive for seasons four through eight as she trains her sister. Phoebe grows closer to Drake and there's a few references to the Twilight Saga for Phoebe and Drake in this story.
But from here the rest of the series is reimagined with Andy and Prue alive, Chris living with them now and Drake part of the family from this point forward. Till the final battle as they prepare for Chris and Wyatt's birthdays and season's five through eight remain the same, but Chris's identity is known by the entire family.
Also there is going to be a lot of Phoebe bashing do to her being very clingy and controlling till the trio all say to stay out of their personal business. As the rant that Max gave Goofy comes into this as well…..
Chapter 20: Cruel Truths And Future Reprimands III
"This is House Arrest magic style now, the kids decided to save their parents relationship, in two cases and it worked, the school bully has happiness. By his parents divorce, and the narrator's girlfriend, is finally relieved that she's not trying to but in anymore. You're the said mother, Chris is the narrator, we're Jamie and the guy playing his father, he did what you can't. And it paid off, so why are you getting angry, he never lied, he did what you can't right now."
"Not a sexual offender here, he's our son, he's trying to save us, his family, nothing wrong with that and now that the truth is out, we have a teenager living in the house. And he's in recovery, from the power extraction still, so anything happens in the next 45 minutes. It's your head, because you evidently hate Wyatt's not being an only child, but the marriage counseling. That was a no win, it's between us, his father, him and me, this is Wyatt/Halliwell business now."
"Its none of your business, so but out right now." Piper said sternly and she swallowed hard. "So my little, turned big brother, you're trying to save mom and dad's marriage, you don't. And I never had you or baby sister, okay I understand, that's fine, that's what you meant here. By saying I would trust you in time and I do right now, I do, but we belong to mom and dad. Why is she obsessed with me unless…., bad cousin, it's bad cousin." Chris read out and then said it.
And sternly as he looked at Phoebe sternly. "You know Aunt Phoebe, in truth mom and Aunt Paige are right, ever since you gained that power, you been trying to control things. But why do you think he took a dose himself, after you left the room, it's so you don't blow his cover. And till he could tell them himself and now that he did, they're fine with it as here such. Chris and I are not your children, you are not our mother, so back off." Chris said sternly and jerked at that.
"What the…?!" Paige started to say and he nodded. "I think I channeled his irritation at her interference right now, his words in my voice." he said and she nodded. "And with that, don't you get it, I'm trying to get away from you, I'm not a little kid anymore, so just leave me alone. And get your own life, dang it Aunt Phoebe, ever since I was born, you been smothering me, but I have a mother, I have a father, keep it up, it's his fear come to life, but the bad man now."
"He's dangerous right now, but as are you, you're a danger to yourself and others right now, because you can't control yourself, maybe you should move back to big apartment. At least then, we don't have you invading our privacy so much now, because frankly. I thought my safety mattered more to you then your wants right now in truth huh, but I heard the exchange. Between mom and dad, needs to get a life first, needs to be a wife and a mother first now."
"And they need more time as a couple, they get that with Chris here, so enough already, just leave Chris and me alone and get your own life. I mean we only have sum time, before you get that chance, but until then mom and Aunt Paige need space from you. Just like when you were married to the bad man, before learning Auntie Paige was right. And dad was being targeted, it's reversed, but at least Aunt Prue was more understanding." he said sternly to her and she paled.
"Alright Chris snap out of it, focus son come on, focus." Leo said quickly, as he looked at his brother. "Yeah even I know I had enough when Wyatt's thoughts are being shoved into my head right now, well I need to create a telepathic blocking potion next. Before that happens again, I had my powers for 10 years and as a result, and I never been so exhausted. That I lose total control and your thoughts are invading my mind now." he said, shaking his head to clear it.
"But I get you're irritated, but I'm recovering from my girlfriend's extracting my powers, setting me back when I'm no older then little me, where I can't control my powers yet. And with me this tired here I lost focus, so I just said what you're thinking out loud, buddy. Try not to get too frustrated with the girls and mom, before that happens again." he said and his forcefield jumped over him in response and Piper smiled. "Yeah I love you too bro." he said to him gently to that.
"Yeah I agree with you, you're looking like you been doing repeated alnighters, son you can't keep this up much longer, you got plenty of time. You just need 6 weeks of rest then back at it, kiddo, but you're helping us take care of him. We take care of both of you right now, it's our job to take care of you, but though looking 18, well to me, you're still a cub, Chris. Besides as your mentor, I know what's best for you better then you do, you need a break to rest and eat."
"Come on sit down son, you're exhausted right now." he said gently and he nodded and sat down next to Piper and she and Leo both nodded gently. "I came from 2022 actually back to now." he said and they froze. "Two…, 2022, your birthday is when exactly, the real date?" she asked and he explained that. "November 16, 2004." he said and she nodded. "That makes you 16 next year!" Leo said sternly and he nodded and they nodded, realizing what happened here.
"Alright, alright, so 2006 to 2022, you're 16, plus the current two years, that makes you 18, we're 48, 46, 44." Paige said and he nodded. "So at least we know what baby you grows into now, but you're too much like your mother and me. But like Thewlis said, you're more like us then you realize son, in time you'll come to know just how much." he said and he smiled as he looked down gently happily and Paige wrapped her arms around his shoulders in a hug, smiling.
"So yeah cub, my baby, alright, alright to recalculate the date, if you were born when we were 15 ourselves, born 1988, to now, you're turning 15 this year." she said and he nodded. "Well if we do that right now, I was 13 when Paige came into the picture, but 2 years later. I'm turning 15 this year and 16 next, just trapped in a going on 18 year old body." he said and they both nodded and Paige sighed in relief at that. "So my nephew." she said smiling and he nodded.
"My double was furious you never had the time for him, in this case, we been spending so much time together training right now the link was just fused shut. Only that's the problem, it got worse here with the time change right now." he said and Leo nodded. "How bad exactly right now." he asked and he sighed then. "As you're more then my father, but my mentor, raised me as you trained me, we been fighting evil for 2 years together, after Wyatt lost it completely."
"That after losing Paige next, you promised you would be there, always and then risked taking the shot for me, I only just got you back, both of you. I can't lose you again, as if you thought Paige was bad, it's another furie all over again. And I could take it out on you this time, only instead of dead, you're still here, in truth. Not 'you don't knew me' like my double, but rather, 'why you leave me, you promised never to leave, come back.'." he said and Leo nodded gently.
"I can't remember what happened leading into my birthday, but based on what you told me here right now, Gideon talked you into staying upstairs directly after you conceived me. But you been gone 6 months and he resented you for just abandoning mom, Wyatt and us." he said and Leo nodded sternly. "Then screw what Gideon says, my family comes first here, I am not losing you, but 6 months tighter bonding, another 9 after we conceive you and make you official now."
"And that's it now right now, but you and me: mentor and cub, you got me back now, just as a younger version of myself again." he said and he nodded smiling then, as she smiled, at the gentle talk between them. "Hopefully we never reach what causes that, though we do, it's you just had a flashback and all the anger behind the happiness of a better 15 months then ever just came forward, as you let loose finally." she said and Leo nodded in agreement to that opinion.
And as he hugged him tightly and he buried his face into his neck. "Dad." he heard and he tightened his arms in response and Piper nodded gently. "Issues in the 15 year age difference, your brother has 29 right now in truth, that makes us our current ages now. So 15, 13, 11, and you're 11 years younger then your aunt, and by that I mean Paige right now. If Prue and Andy were still alive, that's 17." she said and Chris nodded in agreement to that opinion then gently.
"Issues in this family, is knowing your birthday, you get a real family birthday, and before little you is born right now, so this year, is we got 6 months to relax, after this scenario. And then deal with your conception date, so we just move you into your bedroom right now. Whichever room you had, and Wyatt has you around all the time here right now. But before anyone gets testy here, we need to enroll you in your junior high school." she said and he nodded gently.
"Good point, you just removed me from my boarding school and put me in public now, as for this right now, I think the blob monster and this combined over did it." he said gently at that remark and she and Leo nodded, before a portal opened and a duffle bag got thrown through it and she opened it, and saw his clothes, just in red and a few dozen other things. "Eric man, was that really necessary right now." he said and a coin got thrown through it in response then.
As they saw a T-Rex on one side of the coin and a dragon foot on the other, which was the size of bigger version of a pocket watch then. "Wait these are taped together." she said, and she untaped them, and in response, is they started growing. And became the size of small wall clock then. "Nice touch, you wiseacre." she said smiling and Leo chuckled at that remark. "Alright so Eric, we named him Frederick, you're named after dad, yeah okay got it right now, son."
"That's your twin brother right now, this is his stuff, so he's alerting us that he's coming through soon enough, so cranberry red is him, forest green is you. Dragon foot, okay your favorite ranger is Jason, Eric's was Austin now, so red and green." Leo said and he nodded and he and Piper smiled. "Only way to tell us apart dad, him red, me green." he said and they nodded. "Nice way to help us keep you straight in colors, your clothes are green, his are red now in truth."
"So knowing the three of you are red, blue and green now, that made it easier so for you, as twins, we had you as matching season 1 in the power rangers." she said and he nodded. "As was our book collection, you treated us just the same, by buying us both the same item. And stuck a red or green sticker to it, so we each had our own, the bedroom motif here now. And we're room mates, same thing every year was also like that." he said and they nodded gently.
"Yeah me too, only now it's time to quit messing around and really get to work right now, but if you and Prue had this discussion already. Then it just switched to me, so this is bad right now, I think your recovery took a turn for the worst in the last 6 weeks, you had a relapse." Paige said softly to this. "Yeah I think you had enough for a while, we got 6 months till his first birthday and another 9 till your's right now, we have time to rest and you need to take it easy for a bit."
"But that just says it all, when even you have our thoughts ending up in your head, instead of our emotions, we know you're so exhausted you lost control of your powers." Leo said and Piper and Paige nodded in agreement to that. "Yeah that and I think you're on the edge of a relapse here right now baby. That you need to rest after whatever happens next, honey, so two more missions till whatever as you heal completely right now." Piper said and he nodded with a sigh.
"Anyone want to chance us having a demon scanner in the house, before a panic attack here." he asked and they nodded. "So long as you tell me before you do that, then no, as you just scared the heck out of me here." Leo said and Piper nodded. "Yeah alright, before the situation with Magic school comes into the picture, I'm getting a demon scanner. To scan for both demons and non trustworthy witches." he said and they nodded in relief, knowing they could trust him.
"And there we go, make adjustments here, before we have further problems that cause damage here, that running by certain maneuvers. And with the family elder comes in handy with the cub whitelighter, in training here." Piper said and Leo nodded in agreement. "Yep and with that in mind right now, it's first this, then Jason, then the school here, before Paige catches me. But too late I dropped the bomb on you and dad already, who I am." he said and they nodded, smiling.
"Alright, so Greg is out of the picture now, you and I are back together, we know who he is to us, and we go from there, so that supposed date with Greg is non existent. I'm focusing on dealing with the genie, if we get another Genie and we have a case of musical chairs. And with getting the genie back in the bottle here." she said and Chris closed his eyes, laughing. "Alright wise guy, laugh it up already, come on." Leo said with an amused smile at the look on his face.
"And I'm starting to wish I arrived 7 months ago, so me in the house, and he really starts thinking I'm big brother here right now, so you know the truth. But that rant coming out of her is a case of that, but you weren't happy after the job promotion and Wyatt. And then mom and the codependency thing here right now, that you now have a someone here. To do the shopping, and deal with the whatever right now too." he said and his parents nodded in agreement.
"Mom only you remember this, Phoebe deliberately forgot this part, the spiritual nexus." he said and she crossed her arms. "Your brother was also born in the house, that makes him more connected to it, could go either way: good or evil. I had you, your brother and sister in the hospital, yes I remember and thank you for reminding me. Alright, Paige the house is built in the center of a pentagram, spiritual nexus." she said and Paige nodded in understanding then.
As a second later something shot up. "Welcome back, Chris." they heard as he quickly lifted his gaze and froze, before relaxing as he said it and as he answered him. "Hello Wyatt." he said again and Phoebe paled at that as they watched it. "That's what happened on my end, before you guys moved out." he said and they nodded in shock. "That's Wyatt?" Paige asked and he nodded. "You needed evidence, and my exhaustion did that." he said and she nodded then.
"Alright so we see what happened on your side of the time portal, as you left me an idea in how to handle this, but Frequency was good something here. And while we wrote the spell and brought you home now." Leo said and he nodded as Piper sighed in relief. "They're no threat to me." he said and with that the demons left. "Eu tu Chris, of all the people to betray me..." he said and Chris answered him firmly as he moved in front of her as he answered him.
"I didn't go back to betray you Wyatt, I went back to save you." he said and he smirked. "Save me, save me from what exactly?" he asked arrogantly to him and he sighed at that. "From whatever evil turned you then." he said and he smirked at that as he answered him at that as he said it with an arrogant tone. "That's always been your problem, stuck in the good verses evil, morales, I'm so over that, it's all about power, it always was."
"It's as simple as that now." he said and Chris crossed his arms at that as Leo did the same thing sternly at that remark as he answered him at that remark then. "The one with the most power wins, is that it?" 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 as he looked at him sternly at that.
"Too 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 told him firmly and Piper smiled at that remark and he looked at her.
"Yeah we know you way better then that now baby, but that just says it all right now, you're going down fighting here right now, but there's my baby, you're never going to stop." she said smiling and he smiled at her and Leo smiled at that response. "Get ready this is where the fight started getting out of hand between us, after you restored my powers. He killed her for defying him and I threw him into the wall, and grabbed the spell." He said and she and Leo nodded.
"I thought you said you could talk some sense into him." he said to her and Chris said it with a warning tone then. "Leave her out of this." he told him firmly and in answer to that he lifted his hand and they saw Chris grab his throat. "Oh dear god no, it's the indication on the movie, the Sith did this to either warn them. Or kill them, he's turned into a Sithlord in the future." Paige said in shocked disbelief at that image and he nodded gently to her then.
"I'm a science fiction nut, and if he had my books it's clear he took after me in a love for science fiction, as a result considering here, but Harry Potter makes sense. Showing a good and kind man and below it a cold blooded monster intent on a killing an innocent baby. That's it, someone we trust, we find that someone outside us and Darryl and that's it. And this could be considered the added act in the prequel trilogy, how far gone is he exactly?" Paige said in shock to that.
"Us, Darryl and the elders that agreed with our in getting married, we find him and we kill him and his demon helper." Leo said and Piper nodded. "Yeah it's Abby all over again right now, alright that narrows it down, we got a Phantom Menace here after the baby. Keep it going Chris, I want to know why I found that bruise on your thigh right now after you started spending all your time here right now, because you're moving into the house." she said and he nodded then.
"Pardon me?" Wyatt said to him, before he threw him into wall telekinetically. "You said wouldn't hurt him!" she snapped and he snapped back at her. "You said you'd turn him, like I turned you, or I thought I had." he said sharply at that. And she ran to Chris at that, as she crouched next to him as he tried to get his breath. "Chris please, I didn't bring you here to die." she said and he said it gently at that to her.
"Don't worry I know what I'm doing." he said as they heard a squeak in the floor then where Wyatt was standing. "I think." he added as he got up and lunged at him then as he grabbed him at that. "Have you lost your mind." he snapped at he threw him to the floor at that. "I don't need you." he said as he got ready to blast him she lunged at him and thrust her hand into his back and he froze in pain at that.
"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 was taken from the attack!" he called out and they watched him glowing blue, just as Wyatt was free of the power hold as he knocked her away as she fell to the floor.
And she landed on a table leg. "No!" Chris shouted out at that 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 at that. "Maybe." she said as he sighed sadly as he looked down in grief then.
"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 Leo felt his heart rip apart for his son. "Oh dear god no, not her too." Paige said, feeling her grief at that and he nodded as he watched his son as he ran to the book.
And read out the incantation for time travel. "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 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 as she grabbed his arm as she looked into his eyes then. "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 I see it now finally, you were more then relieved to be back with your mom and me again." Leo said, smiling in relief at the reveal.
"My baby's home again." Piper added to that as they watched him fall back on his elbows. "Chris!" she said quickly as she undid his shirt and saw it slightly healed. "Easy, easy, easy, you just drained the rest of your strength here right now." Leo said and Paige checked the book. "Found it, Witchlighter power removal recovery spell, taken once a day for….." she started to say and looked up. "For what, how long?" Piper asked her then gently.
"For 5 months, meaning he needs to stay in the house, he's looking far too thin, he's exhausted and he's recovering from loss of his powers." she said and Piper nodded then. "Five, it's going to take me 5 months to heal from this?" Chris repeated and she nodded. "And it doesn't help we're still human here, that even we need a medical attention right now at the moment, we're not indestructible." she said and he nodded with a sigh.
"Yeah no kidding, Chris, listen to me here, but you're not immortal you need rest just like the girls, your brother, father and I do. As for that remark, Paige, I don't mind this, he can stay as long he wants now, he just proved to us. That he's trustworthy right now, besides here right now, he needs his father and me. Just to recover from that jolt at the moment." she said then, pulling him against her and he smiled gently then.
"Jeez man, yeah alright almost time to tell you the truth and I will, but I love Wyatt like a brother, you and Leo like my parents. But there it is now, I had a fight with a family member on my end here. But that explains why I look this drained, I drained the last of my strength. And after you restored my powers, mom, Bianca was the daughter in law." he said and Piper smiled as she and Leo pulled him closer to them at that.
"Fight with a family member, who exactly right now." She asked and he sighed. "Trust me you're not going to like what I have to tell you here." he said and they both nodded. "Why don't you tell me anyway, Chris, because before we can deal with your brother's protection, if you are my son, I have to take care of you. What the heck was going on over there, if you had to dive through the portal, son?" Leo asked him and he sighed.
"The fight got brutal." he said and they both nodded then as she ran her hand through the hair at the back of his head then. "Alright whoever you are, what the heck is wrong with you, have you completely lost your mind right now?" she said sternly to whoever did this to her son and he nodded. "That's what's he said actually, after I charged him, so I could get the spell right now in truth." he said and she nodded as she looked at him in relief then.
As he hugged him and he tightened his arms around him, before she did the same. "Long story…, dad, but in truth here, is Bianca was sent by Wyatt's adult self, and the fight. That's what I meant, I'm trying to figure out the evil that caused his turning, but before you say it, with that extraction and return. My powers are spent here right now, so that's why I look like this." he said and he nodded gently in understanding then.
"More like you had one too many alnighters that I'm yanking you off duty till you're fully recovered here, kiddo. You still look like someone that's recovering from a stab wound injury right now, only this could be a magical stab wound." he said and Chris nodded. "And if you want to go with the parental titles now, that's fine with us: as real or foster, this is your house too." she added gently and he smiled at that news in relief then.
"Well that's one way to tell us the truth, before you drop the bomb on us, like a brother: he is your brother, us: we are your parents." Leo said and Piper nodded, smiling. "Just watch where the next time portal shoots you, before you get thrown into someone. And after you landed on me the last time you were playing those things, side effects with time travel. As you never know who's standing in front of the re-entry point." he added and Chris nodded as Paige hid a laugh.
"Yeah, but we just put it in like two seconds ago." Phoebe said to him, repeating her two months past self at that and Leo smiled at the bemused smile on his son's face as he answered her remark. "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 want to know, I have a little headache, so thanks." she said and Piper sighed as she crossed her arms then.
As Piper felt her heart turn over at this revelation, seeing he was now heartbroken. "You have some serious explaining to do, young man." she said, repeating her remark to him gently. "Oops, uh oh now I'm busted." he said and she smiled as Leo chuckled at that response as she answered him then. "Yeah busted baby and don't push it, it was time for the truth to come out and today, that today was the perfect day, as you reveal yourself to me finally here now."
"That you're my youngest, turned oldest son." she said smiling and he nodded gently to her. "Yeah and I missed you so much mom, dad." he said and they nodded smiling gently then. "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 at that.
As he answered her gently at that. "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 Phoebe felt her heart fall at that remark as she looked at their two months past selves then. "Um, isn't that the whole point, you coming back to change the future?" Paige asked and he nodded as he answered her firmly then as he went further.
"Yeah, but that was supposed to be more of a surgical strike." he said and Leo watched his two month past self 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 21 year old son with love then, smiling as he looked at him then. "What about Bianca?" Phoebe asked and he sighed sadly and Leo looked at his sister in law sternly at that as he answered her with a sad sigh then.
"Bianca won't be a threat to anyone, anymore." he said and they nodded as they watched her answer him. "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. "Absolutely, but the next time you're in trouble, you got to tell us, the trust works both ways." he said 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 him looking at Wyatt in a playpen at that. "If I can't save you, I swear to god I'll stop you." he said to him gently and Paige nodded to him. "Yep alright point taken and you convinced me now here, tell us the rest of this, before I kill who caused him to turn." Leo said and he nodded gently. 'Yes and I call that going too far, our version is not so wiped out, his memories are breaking down the front door.' his past self thought sternly at this revelation.
As Chris shook his head as he focused on the last 3 months, watching him, Piper could see he came to a decision, and whatever it was. It meant ending the hostilities between himself and his father and her then finally, a time for the three of them. Just become the true family they should be then. "To repeat this, the way you said to dad, as you got some space between you, well now it's our turn now finally, us from her now, mom." he said and Piper nodded gently.
"She hates me clearly, her own flesh and blood, simply because I stepped in to prevent you from divorcing, while preventing my brother from destroying himself." he said and she jerked at that remark in shock. "Like I said, first your not so subtle column and now this, why don't you just come out and admit it, Phoebe, you hate him, simply for trying to make things easier." Paige said, slamming the towel on the floor and Phoebe went white at that remark in fear then.
"With you still recovering from your injuries and my getting the weight back on you, yeah I think this would be a good thing right now for us. She made the choice to leave, and move across the globe, Paige is closer in range, if she wants to move back into the manor. Then that's fine right now and I'm back for good now, so yeah son, I agree with you right now." Leo said and Piper nodded as she carefully said it as Paige kept her mouth shut, knowing then what was coming.
Was the end of her first year then. "Phoebe listen to me, but frankly these problems, 1/3 of them are based on why I destroyed the door I need some space from you. I mean, who knows this might actually turn out to be a good thing for me in the long run. I might be able to live some semblance of a normal life with the way his father and I arrange this. And with being alone in separate lives now, being me rather then we now, with being a family again now."
"And I can't really do that with you hanging around the house all the time, like Paige said: a life outside of magic, what I need is a life outside of our trio now. Back then was based on being newly weds, now we're 2 years in and have a family of our own now. I'm sorry, but please, I need this, I need you to give me space here." Piper said gently and Leo nodded in agreement. "Phoebe, we need some space now, to being our own family now, without you butting in."
"In trying to control things, but frankly your problems with Chris are the biggest reason of them all, my son is going on 15, and trying to protect his brother. These actions of your's are leaving him vulnerable right now, and after the issue with the Montanas and the Callaways. It's time, Paige and we need some space, we are feeling suppressed by you right now in truth. Paige needs a life outside the family, the trio, just like we do." he said and she collapsed on the couch.
"And frankly this will be a good thing for us now, mom decided this, before I just dropped the bomb, they reached the necessary here to return to being a couple. For me, I need time alone with my family, I only just got them back, I been an orphan for 6 months my time. Dad was murdered by a darklighter 7 months ago now, and I lost mom 4 years ago, my supposed. In times, which was barely if I was really 14, 9 months ago now." Chris said to her with a sigh.
And Leo collapsed into a chair then. "When I came back from dealing with Wyatt's 20 year old self now, it was to take over fully finally. As the family whitelighter, dad being there to train me in healing now, so I can save who I love now. Reason being here is because only I saw what Wyatt turned into, in my future, the 4 of you are dead, the last to go was you, dad. We spent 2 years fighting evil together as one by one our family was killed." he said and she sat down then.
"That future involved certain changes as of right now, the me you know, in that version of our lives was truly 18, that the term kid wasn't an exaggeration. So though 18 in appearance, I'm really 31 years younger than you guys are, mom, dad. Wyatt is 20, and Bianca, supposedly, was one of his agents, which as it turned out, she was a double agent. So I can get the spell to jump through time, I'm not lying, we don't stop the duo that destroys him, he turns into Vader."
"And instead of Pratt, it becomes what I told you on the first day after I arrived here." he said and they all nodded in shock then. "But the Titans were only the beginning, that was meant to happen, dad was meant to become an elder, as 1) it opens the door for the training whitelighter to pick up, only the said training is not a stranger, but your own family member. 2) right now so now he can set his own hours and now that their relationship is healed enough here now."
"Back to being a couple again, and more importantly, the 3 items the psychologist said: one of them needs to get a life first, the other a wife first, a wife and mother. And more importantly, they need more time as a couple, they get that with me here watching over Wyatt. And 3) deal with the rogue elder that is trying to kill Wyatt, and because he's suffering it here now. In the Dumbledore complex, in killing Wyatt, in his sick mind was only for the greater good here."
"My sacrifice to him was also for the greater good to kill Wyatt, but we did it, we stopped him, but in doing so, you lost me, after 21 months together now. We change this moment in time, our bond even stronger and to you this means war. You don't tolerate attacks, unprovoked on your family, when the one with the half demon was Phoebe. Why is Wyatt a danger, when Paige and I are not, or Baby Cole isn't now." he said and Leo nodded sternly as he stood up at that.
"Yes and how is killing a child ever for the greater good, who is he to decide that, a baby or a young teenager, just out of the 7th grade, how is killing you for it." he said sternly and Chris nodded. "And touch you, I'm going to blast him, to save Wyatt, you took that athame straight to the abdomen right now, in trying to stop him. Yeah I call that enough reason for us to hate that Dumbledore wannabe right now." Piper snapped in fury and Paige nodded sternly in agreement.
"To save Wyatt you took a poisoned athame to the stomach, and we lost you as a result." Paige said and he nodded and she nodded as she hugged him tightly and he closed his eyes. In feeling her arms around him for the first time, since she died, the tears came into his eyes then. Before Leo did the same and he tightened his arms around him in relief they trusted him now. Before his mother hugged him and he looked into her eyes then gently, as he looked between them.
"Not lying anymore, I'm telling you the truth, Prue told me to explain the exact circumstances in order to get you to trust me, she and Andy." he said and they nodded. "Prue, Prue and Andy sent you and told you to tell us what happened, yeah thanks Sis, we needed that right now. You just convinced us my son is trustworthy, so that's what happened in trying to stop this elder. He gets stabbed in the stomach and Leo finished the job in saving him." she said sternly to that.
"We reached a cross in the picket-line here right now on that, telling us the conditions of you being born and what happens, you just convinced me entirely here right now, if not the Order. Then it's this Elder and while one shot barely drained you enough to put you in the emergency room right now after you just got your powers back. The elder killed you and I finished the job, in killing him and saving Wyatt, but it was a win one/lose one, as baby you is born now here."
"In trying to save Wyatt, one son for the price of another, that though we had baby you, we wanted big you back and we never got over losing you." Leo said gently and Piper nodded sternly as she said it. "Yeah, not losing you, we are not losing you, as you become more to us then just our new whitelighter, you're my son, and their nephew, that the pain of losing you. We had a reason to have a falling out with the elders now." she said and he felt his heart warm.
"Mom, in truth, this was only temporary Wyatt doesn't understand, he was the catalyst for the tension between you and dad, the job, him, the girls. You had problems if I never stepped in, and it's the demon of anger all over again." Chris said and she nodded. "Prevent a divorce by giving us a few months break, I understand, so now that those months are all over. Your father can set his own hours and you are my new whitelighter?" she asked and he nodded gently then.
"Yes, I never wanted to do this, but without it, you divorce and there is no Mellie, Eric or me, and the future is destroyed." he said, gripping her hands and she nodded. "To save the family, you risked destroying yourself, and the future, by coming back to now, I understand. And I forgive you right now, I forgive you, and we start over now, so time to move in." she said and he nodded, knowing he was back to being inside his house then, and Phoebe looked at her then.
"Sorry buddy, but without big me coming to the past, little me and my double me, and baby sister are never born, had to fix this." he said and the shield flashed over him in response. "I'll take that to mean, 'it's okay Chris, I trust you now, I have you till little you is born. But don't leave me, stay.'." Leo said with a gentle smile at that response and Piper nodded in agreement. "So everything is directly on course, and life is back to the way it was, only now we got you."
"It's been 3 months, since Chris arrived, adjustments made, the truth is out, it was only temporary, he's coming home, I got my husband back. Everything is fine and now I get the news our new whitelighter is my youngest, turned oldest son now finally." she said and she started shaking in fear, realizing that was enough reason to be irritated at her. She was doing it again and Paige had sided with Piper then, now that the kinks had been worked out for them.
"But just what business of it is your's seems to me the one being the home wrecker is you, simply because you hate being wrong, or just hate being useless. He has things so under control after 5 weeks and leading into 3 months now, that everything is fine. But 1) your empathy link started a riot and you nearly lose your job, your empathy is playing havoc in our relationship. And then you move to Hong Kong, and Paige is close by, and Chris is in charge here finally."
"But the three of us are a family and he acts like a son and big brother to us and Wyatt now, we were perfectly happy till you pulled this stunt. But you guys missed a full vintage of vanquishes, and instead of chummy, they start acting like father and son here. And frankly you would be right, you leave and you lose your personal bedroom in this house. But that's not my fault, you made the choice after Grams ripped me a new one for this." she said and Phoebe paled in shock.
As Chris leaned against Leo's shoulder then firmly at that. "But call me a nag, no we need the power of 3 in this house to control the demon attacks. And I thought you cared about Wyatt's safety here more than your own wants, with only 2 years left, then you get your wish?" Chris finished and they both jerked at that remark, realizing this was the point. "But Paige, you are always welcome to come home, have your bedroom back." Leo said and she nodded gently.
"Two years huh, well we can make that work right now, but at least I don't have to clip my wings a second time and turn mortal in order to do it as she and I grow old together. We also got you around till you're brother is 7." Leo added and Piper smiled at that remark. "That's 2.5 years actually starting from today, but 2.5 years right now, and I leave when little me is 4. Wyatt is 6 and Mellie is 2, dad." he said and they nodded as she and Leo hugged him tightly.
"Perfect, that's perfect, so you're really…" she started to say and he smiled. "I'm 14, so imagine my being born November 1988 and my birthday is next year." he said and she smiled. "You're turning 15 in 3 months yeah okay, thanks for telling me that baby, alright now. So we have till you're 19 and then you return to the future at going on 20 finally here. Alright you said future consequences, just tell us the important stuff, but keep it hush." she said and he nodded then.
"Wait 2.5 years, what are you talking about?" Paige said and he said it. "The fight with the ultimate power is the last evil to vanquish, after that you can really live your lives. Creating a line from when you were the ones doing things and I was old enough to take over." he said and Piper nodded. "To rephrase that right now, baby, is filling the time from when we were the ones doing the fighting and you, your brothers, sister and cousins were old enough to take over."
"And that's sounding like the line in the book, we put in our memoirs and that was my thoughts, you were reading out my thoughts to you now finally?" she asked and he smiled and she smiled at that response, in knowing she was the one that wrote that. As that was a hint for her to add that, she was the one that trained him, and he adored her. "If you saw the smile on my face as you were teasing dad and me, in my agreeing with him when you summoned Grams now."
"Well I missed this alot, hearing your voices, when like this." he said and she nodded and Leo chuckled at that remark. "But if this is not a family meeting and nothing ever is, we're one big happy family again, like you said." he said and Piper nodded in agreement smiling gently. "So we got 2 1/2 years left then we get to live our lives now, yeah okay, so this house. It belongs to me, but their decisions cost them their rooms." she said and Phoebe flinched at that remark.
"Yeah living at Richards is becoming a mistake and I feel more free to be myself here right now, so…., yeah alright, Piper I'm moving back in, so between now and then. As we just create a set of boundaries in the house, although the majority of it belongs to you. Chris, how long are you staying for exactly." Paige said and Piper nodded. "I leave after Mellie is born, 5 years." he said and she, Leo and Piper smiled in delight and Phoebe paled at that remark, realizing it finally.
"'Ive years, 'at gweat Kwis!" Wyatt said in delight and Leo chuckled at that response. "Yep, big brother staying till he leaves for college at late teens, baby, then you get baby Chris to play with, but he is 5 now." he said and he nodded smiling then. "Alright so Mellie is short for Melinda now, yeah okay, so your brother, you and your twin and her. Well this way we get you staying 5 years and I see my youngest, turned oldest, finishing high school." Piper said and he smiled.
"Yeah I'm home again finally and we get to finish out now, before I start college in truth mom, but I was this age when I lost you, I'm 14." he said and she nodded as she hugged him then. "So 14 trapped in a going 18 year old body, the little boy in you, needs his mama bear now, but getting the years you lost and 5 more now." she said and he nodded. "Not just mama, but papa, I lost my papa bear 6 months ago, my time." he said, looking at Leo and they nodded gently.
"But I'm your son, you're my parents, I came back to save our family." he said and they nodded as they hugged him tightly at that. "Born 2004, I came from 2022, so exactly 18 years, and we just rearranged the time set here, I'm 13, two years ago trapped in a 17 year old body." he said and they both nodded to the news. "Yeah alright so married in 1988, had you in November and we been together and happily married as a family, till the job and the second born were born."
"Coming back as the man of the house, you prevented a divorce by giving us time off from each other right now in truth here. The truth is out finally, though looking 18, you're still a young teenager, I saw that basketball in your gear right now, you're a basketball player?" he asked and Chris nodded and they smiled gently. "J.V. team actually, after Wyatt crashed, my plans for making the college Varsity team went up in smoke, I spent 4 years fighting his army."
"And I'm just admitting to this, but dad, what I really meant to Mist was till I'm ready to handle being around you again, this soon, your murder was 6 months ago my time. Darklighter arrow, I been on my own ever since." he said and Leo nodded sternly, realizing that explained everything in why he disappeared and got shot to Valhalla. He wasn't risking the fight between them getting even more heated than it was already, after he came back then finally at that.
"The way you acted on your arrival the anger and hate in your eyes at your father, it's because you hated him for saving your life and abandoning you!" Piper said sharply and he nodded. "If I was Wyatt, my own grief conjures dad into being a demon version of himself. Who's haunting me till you finally say it with you 17 years younger then my version of you. But…., but I mean he should know better right now, Darklighter arrows are poisonous to us, why did he do that."
"I mean, we could have orbed out, before the arrow struck home!" he said in pain, as the tears started pouring down his face and she nodded as Leo pulled him into a hug. "Don't leave me, not again, don't leave." he heard and he tightened his arms around him in response. "I won't, I promise, I'm not going anywhere." he said into his ear as he buried his face into his shoulder. "I mean it, shut up Phoebe, he's an orphan, he needs us." she snarled and Phoebe paled at that.
"Seventeen, we're 47?" she repeated and he nodded. "Forty seven, 45, 43." he said and they nodded sternly. "So there we go, that gives us everything we need now, but the family was the owner of a new restaurant and the club was a side business. She's still working for Mirror and Paige is doing what you used to dad, as a whitelighter, you're a teacher. And took Gideon's place as head of Magic school, don't ask, I can't remember why here." he said and they all nodded.
"Entering stage 2, son?" he asked and Chris nodded sadly. "Like the kid playing Keaton's son, I never got over it, because you died saving me at the time. Darklighter, and I'm half Elder, everyone non whitelighter in the family was dead now." he said and Paige pulled him into a hug and he buried his face into her shoulder then. "Phoebe shut up right now, whoever was with that darklighter, if he's who I think, it's on you." she said with a warning growl and she swallowed.
"When were you bringing me home exactly, if you intended to come get me yourself?" he asked and he explained that. "During the encounter with the trio, the blonds, remember said 5 weeks remark, they were adjusting to being with me now, I was close here. Till Phoebe screwed it up by using Wyatt to locate you and you remember the rest of it it now. As your anger destroyed the cabinet in the living room now, I was going to explain that was to prepare you here."
"And for dealing with the Rogue elder that killed me, just days before my due date now." he said and Leo and Piper nodded sternly in relief to that reveal. "The athame, and my knocking it out of his hand, before electrocuting him, you were the reason for it. After 9 months after I came back 3 months prior to your due date, and then whoever the demon helping us was. As his good self just dropped the truth to me, and after he killed big you he finally pissed me off here now."
"As I killed the Elder that did it before hunting down the demon, Wyatt blames himself, son it's not you, not your brother, it was me?" Leo said sternly and he nodded and the lamp exploded and he quickly covered Wyatt at that. "So I just pretended you're my oldest son, till you told us the truth you are my son, you just been in boarding school in L.A." she said and he nodded to her and Phoebe paled, realizing she just screwed up his planning completely at that news.
"And the truth is out now finally, due date, conceived in February, born in November." Paige said and he nodded and the trio nodded sternly. "November 16, 2004 to be exact." he told her and the trio nodded in shock. "That's your due date, we have until then to crack who would want your brother dead, and at the same time we have you and your twin. Now, in our future right now, yeah alright, thank you for telling me that?" Piper said and Paige nodded in agreement.
"There we go the truth is out, so Half Elder/half witch, you look like Piper, but have my eyes, you're mine, you're my baby, you're my son." Leo said and he nodded. "I am, my name is really short for Christopher Perry Halliwell/Wyatt." he said and Piper smiled at the news in relief. "Well that's a perfect birthday now finally, revealing I have 3 boys as you finished here. In helping your father and me, okay this I can take right now, from you." she said and he smiled at her.
"And to quote that now in truth, we had two attacks here and a case of personal gain, so tell me here exactly how are you handling this, if the next attempt gets Wyatt kidnapped next." Chris said and the duo both paled, realizing this was the debate that Penny gave them then. "Group up baby." Piper said and he nodded as he and Leo moved to her, and Chris pulled the playpen. And closer to them and Wyatt smiled at that and Piper chuckled at that response then gently.
"But with Wyatt not understanding in why his father left, it's because 3 months after he's born, daddy's job has him leave, and hearing this, big brother was burning with irritation. That he, baby brother, was putting a strain on the marriage, along with the job, and the aunts here. That mommy and daddy now needed time apart, as he comes home, as brother works. In putting the family back together, and daddy and mommy are happy again." Piper said and she swallowed.
"Yeah and big brother knocked his toy across the room, as I wasn't supposed to be babysitting not for another 3 months and we reached that 3 month basis. After Aunty Phoebe left me holding the bag, I'm working at putting this family back together and she's thinking. That because of the empathy, she has a right to but in now." he said sternly and she nodded. "You put us back together, you're the reason I'm still standing here, you brought us back together."
"As such, like Paige, same thing with you, I need you here, with knowing who you are now, if not having magic means I never know the person you grow up to become. Then I accept my powers with open arms now." she said and he nodded softly then. "But change the past to save the future, Wyatt doesn't understand why big brother is paranoid here. He's scared to death of losing us again, he's only just started to relax and Aunty, Daddy and I are happy again finally."
"To him, big brother keeps mommy and daddy happy, Aunty Paige happy, if Aunty Prue was still alive, her too, as Uncle Andy comes home. Brother makes him happy too, he has big brother babysitter now, he's happy, mommy and daddy are happy, and as is Aunty Paige. But why is Aunty Phoebe not happy, exactly?" she said and Wyatt's shield covered Chris. "Point taken bro, you want to keep me." Chris said and Paige started laughing at that response and Piper smiled.
"Well that just says it all right now Piper, I think you read his exact thoughts right now, Chris made you happy, he made me happy, and that makes him happy now. And with it, he's not an only child and likes having a big brother." Paige said with a smile at Wyatt's response to that in her clarification then gently and Leo smiled in affection. "Yeah you read his thoughts exactly honey, that's exactly what he's thinking." Leo said with a chuckle at that as Chris looked at him.
