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 21: Cruel Truths And Future Reprimands IV
"You thinking that, buddy?" Chris said and he nodded. "Yeah he's thinking that, we're happy again, Paige is happy now, you made us happy, but why is Phoebe not happy. Answer: she thinks everything was fine till you came back, or in this case, came back from the future. But it wasn't and it never was, and hasn't been, since Cole came into our lives in truth, everything. In truth, was fine till Andy was murdered and became a whitelighter." she said and Phoebe paled.
"Issues in this household and I don't have a driver's license yet, but I can orb to the store get the groceries or head for the potions store. If you need me to babysit I can finally, but everything the next 15 months is meant to make life easier on you. As we work out who the elder is and no trouble, although Barbas, not so much, he's about to make a come back. And we don't have time for this during the last 3 months of the pregnancy." he said and Paige nodded.
"And once is enough, and where were you after the feud, after you brought us the empathy blocking potion right now." She said to him gently. "I was dealing with you wanting to do everything, but dealing with hunting these guys down. But I have no idea who the demon was, but we had inside interference, into why someone is trying to keep dad away from us. Answer: it's because he knows he's going James over Harry, when as an infant." he said and she nodded.
"And I will now, whoever you are stay away from my family, or you're being electrocuted." Leo said sternly and she swallowed hard at that remark. "Only now you got a teenager in this house right now and life switches back finally, we can live our lives now. But we still have a job to do, but can't forget the losses, that what happens is supposed to hurt here now. As for your question Paige, the reason is because of this exactly, and Grams was right, in truth now."
"But yeah I remember that, but first and you can see that as a training exercise, of her not wanting magic in her life, you always wanting to use it in your's. And Phoebe wanting to make sure nothing destroys her happiness, after the said demon shot me in the shoulder. And we just fixed two of those things, and she's running from her responsibilities. While I'm working through it, before we call grandma and Grams back down here." he said and she and Piper nodded then.
"Alley hey dad, said time portal, that day, you tracked me to that alley, and I got thrown out of it and into you?" Chris said and Leo chuckled and nodded smiling, as he rubbed the back of his head smiling and they started wrestling and she smiled happily then. "You got your wish mom, a family, but just 2 1/2 years left then you move on now, as we're getting attacks. Say 1/4 of normal now and you move on with your life." he said and she smiled in delight then at the news.
"Just 2 1/2 years now left, starting now, we destroy every demon, every evil there is worth to destroy and then when you're 18 months old we can move on with our lives. As the attacks are 1/4th of normal, you mean they're 3/4's less than they currently are, both back then and now?" Paige said and he nodded. "Yeah that's exactly what I'm saying, mom's consideration, she gets her wish in 2.5 years now and you move on." he said and they and Leo smiled at that news.
"Just a couple years left, that we can do, but whoever tried to give us what we wanted, what we thought we wanted next year, left out something out. And here's the result, but we do it our current way and destroy every evil there is left to destroy and we move on. And pave the way from the time we were doing the fighting and when you guys are old enough to take over." Leo said and he smiled, knowing that prevented his father from turning on the elders at that.
"That damn vision she gets at magic school is a pipe dream, but currently until she controls herself, she's about to lose her active powers. But you, mom, Paige and I can cover the slack, all she has is normal witch powers, scrying and potions making. Everything else is on a hold till a certain date, in the tribunal now, as such right now, now that I told you. Is finishing out, you can live a normal life, when I'm turning 20 as baby me." he said and they and Paige all smiled.
"Awesome, we lost 3 members of the family, but all of us are here, that, I can do that, ride out the road till the end and we move on. We killed the Source 4 times in 3 years, the latest Wyatt's cousin now and the Seer now, and we stop our dynamic duo. From destroying your brother, deal with Pratt and game over and we win." Piper said and Leo nodded. "Point taken, and instead of distrust, I went to find out where you went to now, pal, my son, being your mentor and father."
"But there it is, we're Jeff and Josh in whitelighter form, but being an elder I can set my own hours, and your mother has us both now here." he said and Chris nodded, smiling. "Agreed, and thid is not resulting in your turning on the original path either, but we got to tell Odin and Zola, let alone the girls, because they find out they got a phantom menace. In the grouping they're going to allow to deal with the execution next." he said and Leo nodded in agreement.
"I take being your mentor highly seriously here now that the truth is out now finally here, but that's the break we needed in dealing with growing pains right now. And once again it's us 3 on side one on the other only now we got you and your brother in the house. And now instead of newly weds we're parents with 3 boys, and you're a twin now as well here. But the only reason for that switch, son, was so you could focus and see if Odin needed some added help here."
"But not anymore the family sticks together, and again, before you do that with the car, ask to borrow the keys first, if we've another case of personal gain here right now. And next time before you go to that side of town, tell us first, son." he said and Piper started laughing. "Yeah dad, mom if you need me to go shopping I can do that." he said and they nodded. "Fair enough baby, alright, I could also use your help at the club, inventory." She said and he nodded then.
As he thought it over. "Orlin!" Leo shouted out and a man no older than his in laws appeared then. "Yes Leo?" he asked he said it. "Chris just dropped a few key details we need to prove he's trustworthy, but we're his parents, Piper and me. We're close, we're doing a repeat of year two after we separated that year, we're up to Bane, one more thing, we're back." he said and the Elder nodded smiling in relief. "It's like when we had you prove it." he said and she nodded.
"And instead of newly weds, we just started our family and now we have to prove we can do this with having a family involved, yeah we get it, and he just explained that right now. But he just explained it, it's not time altering, it's right in schedule, but his father becoming a Elder. That's the only way to set Wyatt's powers, Chris is thrice blessed, but born in the hospital here. But we seem to have a difference of opinion, but she's irritated Chris just interrupted what she sees."
"As our happiness when you promoted his father and made him my whitelighter." she said and he nodded sternly. "And keep this up, and we're going to feel the power blast as your triquetra is destroyed a second time." he said and Phoebe swallowed hard at that. "We know and Chris just took care of it, Paige, Leo and I are happy, being a normal family. She's doing it again, it's Cole, take II." Piper said and he crossed his arms sternly at that as a second flashed orbed in then.
"Hey Odin." she added and he nodded gently. "I caught the tail end of that right now, but young lady, what goes in her family and relationship is no business of your's. That you keep this up and it's the Triad trying to destroying you trio for the second time. And in 3 years right now, and now that the truth is out, Leo you can stay on Earth, as you train Chris now." he said and Leo nodded smiling. "Thank you Odin, Orlin I needed that." he said gently and Piper sighed in relief then.
"Chris just explained to us we got another 2.5 years left and then we're done, the Ultimate power is the last evil we have to destroy right now." she said and they both nodded. "Next years' problem could be a case of too good to be true, though it is, and it's rewinding the clock. But do it our current way and we lose no one, as the whoever it is, is facing being exterminated. And for killing Paige's love interest now." she said and he nodded sternly at that news gently.
"So stick to the current circumstances, or deal in a false utopia, said that results in killing anyone that threatens it, yes I agree with you, Piper. Stick to the current circumstances, as you all adjust to things, after Chris is born once the clock ends. As Chris stays for another 4 years and we kill our Dumbledore like elder right now and we start a new year. But one too many close calls and if Gideon is the said Elder, Leo, you're replacing him." he said and Leo nodded.
"Head of Magic School, I'm headmaster of the school, if Gideon is the said traitor, but try that we're asking for trouble now here. But there it is, if your next love interest, Paige, had a severe vendetta against these guys, if they're the ones thar murdered his family." he said and she nodded smiling. "No kidding." she said and Piper nodded. "At least the entrance is sitting on the staircase right now, so you can come and go as you please right now." she said and he nodded.
"Sure thing right now, we got plenty of time here right now 16 months till my real due date, so you got plenty of time, we just get these first 6 months and then deal out the following 10." he said and they and Paige nodded. "That's fine." Leo said and she smiled in relief. "Yeah my 14 year old son is wondering around downtown and now my husband has to hunt down my oldest. And while I deal with a case and of the soul survivor next." she said smiling and he nodded.
"The job just got out of hand, but dad can set his own hours, but we were playing with the time portals and got launched back to the Cretaceous period." he told her smiling then and she nodded with a bemused smile. "Young man, you got to stop doing that, before you get stranded somewhere, as just one of you could be enough, but both of you now. And you got us wondering in what is going on, on your end, as we do things ourselves." Paige said and she nodded then.
"Awesome, he's an elder, you're my new whitelighter and bodyguard and we work out a new adjustment, as we start on being more me, than we. Now, and as the objective is protecting your brother and making sure you get conceived." Piper said and Paige nodded smiling. "The timer just ended guys, you're back to being one again." she said and Chris nodded. "Yep, you needed extra help, here I am now, big brother/son/whitelighter." he said and his parents smiled.
"Okay we're 1973, had you in 1988, that's 15 years, plus leading up to now, you were 5 when the show came out, 10 years later and here we are, exactly 15 years, and you're turning 16 next year now, yeah okay that's the day, you just got back from your boarding school. After I said your father got promoted and we needed you here now, and you immediately obliged. And came home, alright so Valhalla was a training exercise, meant for our phantom menace."
"But as your father said, being stuck in a never ending war, fighting for my life, against the demon that your aunt dragged into my life. That has changed me alot now, that touch you they, whoever it is, is getting blasted cross the room now." she said and Chris nodded. "Nice that explains my reaction, I was seeing who stabbed you, and then made clear. It's not Wyatt, but whoever killed you, just traumatized him severely now here." Leo said and he nodded then.
"Okay so he was 13, when I met him, years 1 and 2 for me and he was 14 when his brother was born, it's been 6 months and he's 14. Leading into the war between us and the demons starting, you decided for safety sake, when he was 11 to send him away to boarding school. But between that, her back in college, and Prue setting her own hours, plus the club right now. It's, in truth, that the funds were slightly steep this year, before the next 9 months, we're stuck here."
"And in a frequent war, with demons coming after Wyatt and their father just got his promotion, that it was time, he was a whitelighter in training, and needs his father here. As he's turning 15 and this is the final stages, in child development, no either parent suffered a personality change. And to top it off we're witches, so the paranoia is understandable here, and next he's 16, but he's closer to 18 than 14 in appearance here." Paige said and Piper nodded in agreement.
"Yeah we know, but 14 trapped in an 19 year old, and they did that with Josh Jackson, when they made D3: The Mighty Ducks, and switched coaches. But not chummy, but rather cub and papa bear, being the true father he needs and he loves. And looks up to Leo, to him now, he needs his mentor." she said and Leo nodded in agreement and Chris smiled gently. "As was Heather Langenkamp, she was playing a 16 year old, but 20 for real." he said in response then.
"I'm 14 trapped in a 18 year body here, dad." Chris said and they chuckled. "Okay, so if this was for real, you came from 2022 and are being born next year, but in appearance, you look 18. So if this was now, you just finished out the 7th grade and are starting the 8th now finally. So 5 years left of school you graduate 2008." he said and Piper froze. "That's what worries me, 2009, Pratt and his planning to control things, is that what it was, we made it to your sister now."
"Yeah my baby boy, now that the truth is out, things change for the better, this helps here now finally, we know who you are, we know why you came and things are fine now. And as for the unsaid rant Phoebe, don't go there, because Wyatt is going to see this in reverse. You blame him, for our separation, not Chris, which could later result in something else. Say that we have a death in front of him, and then he turns his own emotional demons real, and Grams now."
"She, mom and dad will say the same, not his fault, not Chris's, not Leo's, we waited too long to crack the code and it kills Chris and nearly Wyatt with him. We're not going that direction, but baby, daddy's not going anywhere, we're just afraid to lose you and baby Chris. After losing big Chris." Piper said and in response his shield appeared over Chris and she nodded. "Yeah protect your brother." Leo said smiling softly then and she paled, realizing that could be a problem.
"Paige, was David your idea?" Leo asked and she nodded gently. "Was, till I get the truth, that Chris belongs to you, I never had to do anything, you did that on your own." she said and they nodded in acceptance. "Then if these start changing color, I know that it's she never gave up her crown, but if he relapses, it's her head, no win situation for her. You we can forgive, you're not the one married to a demon, or was queen of all evil." Piper said and Phoebe jerked at that.
"The fight between me and Wyatt, in the future, but the power lust went right to his head mom, remember Voldemort's claim, not good or evil, but power." he said and they nodded. "The one with the most power wins, that it?" Leo said sternly and he nodded. "That's it, I became you in every since of the word dad." he said and he nodded. "I'm your mentor, more then your father, your mentor, I never got around to teaching you healing, like your mother, okay thanks, son."
"But she's right, this was, is, a no win situation, I gave up my job, so she doesn't have to, the answer to our prayers was never you're trying to get involved with Kit. It was Chris, all this time, Chris was the answer, we need a babysitter, we have him. It's we need someone to run errands, shopping or what not, we have him, while I'm busy upstairs, Chris had the job. Giving his mother and Paige the guidance, she and Piper understand, but why not, Paige is Prue."
"Paige is Prue, reincarnated." he said and she backed up at the bashing then, now realizing the trio didn't care about the lies at all, they were perfectly fine with this. "But jeez, you sound like Jacen Solo, for 3 years he was bending the rules, and then after Luke. Now tries to reactivate the Jedi council, and his mother is no longer the Chancellor here. He starts acting out, till his parents give him the reprimand and kick in the pants he needs." Paige said and she swallowed.
"Going about it naturally, but always in the way, you're always in the way, and now finally, we can get some real progress done, by real marriage counseling. But the answer to our problems was never outside interference, or overly clingy relatives here. But the teenage son helping to take care of his baby sibling, the date that night, that was really here. A business date, and Leo sent him to get me, before Paige kills you for butting in." Piper said and she went pale at that.
"So wait to go, you screwed up my business dinner that night, I was meeting the gig arranger for our next band!" she snapped and she swallowed hard. "Are you trying to cost me my gigs right now, because you don't understand the meaning of but out!" she said sternly and she started shaking in fear, realizing she and Leo reached their limits with her behavior. "First your not so subtle column and then this, so why not come out and admit it, you hate him here."
"And just what part of 'this is not your business' are you not getting?" Paige added and she swallowed hard, realizing Paige sided with the Wyatts then. "Your empathy powers have been playing havoc on our relationship ever since, but what do we have to do here. Hmm, do we have to strip you of your premonitions, your levitation powers, so you're just reduced to Empathy. And potions making, your self defense training." Piper asked and she started shaking in fear.
As Paige left her hands on Chris's shoulders and he looked up at her smiling, and she saw, rather than a teenager sitting there in front of her a 6 year old little boy. "So you're Wyatt's baby brother, by 21 months, okay we're fine with that." Piper said and he nodded. "Watching what you grow into should help, from baby you to this you now, as we know you on sight. Now, and before we see Wyatt when good." Leo said and Piper nodded in agreement smiling then.
"Yeah mom, dad, during this, we ended in the parallel, but your past doubles made an agreement to help them and them us, it's the same thing, keep their Wyatt from turning good. He's the most powerful good Source of them all, if he turns, and my double came back, just to prevent it, while for us, we keep our version from turning evil." he said and she nodded. "The 4 horsemen catch, baby?" she asked and he nodded. "Here we go again." Leo said and he nodded.
"The parallel is reversed, everything reversed, good people are like the people downtown in Bronx, the club's a strip club, the cops are corrupt. While us magicals are warlocks and darklighters, while the demons are good, the underworld looks like ours. To them words like beautiful, love, friendship and hope are non existent, our doubles. They beat the crap out of Darryl, because they were trying to find a way out of our world as we ended up in their's."
"And then a magical fight over us between their Paige and Phoebe and our's while we got caught in the middle, but their Barbus exposed our Elder." he said and he nodded. "Thanks for the intel, we know who the demon is, so we just further thin out the ranks, before the final trimester. But your mother is going into personal recovery." he said and he nodded. "Yeah, but this time, she's staying here, and I'm her personal bodyguard now." he said and Leo nodded smiling gently.
"We're not on a tight time frame, we can rest for 5 months then spend 10 working out every demon that needs destroying, before we hit the elder that betrayed us." Piper said and he nodded in agreement to her opinion. "Your past doubles already took care of that for you, the cops know who we are, as does the judge and your doctor, the one that is going to deliver me." he said and she nodded. "So we're in the clear with Darryl's new boss." Leo said and he nodded.
"Sheridan and Cortez also just got involved, Allison Sheridan, she got involved after the spider demon, she knows now, as does Cortez, they're fine with this. After repeated meetings, but if you from the past came to the present, you know what is going on. And before Paige came into the picture, as if this was really 1989, I'm a just turned 14 year old cub. And Darryl doesn't mind either, they're covering for us, in the demon vanquishes." he said and they smiled then.
"Yeah we are, and Darryl is taking a vacation, directly after my version of the Banshee." he said and she sighed in relief. "Well that saves our relationship with their family, but the last 6 months are still up for debate right now. But I had enough of this crap, who's bright idea was this, to add the pheromones?" she asked and he shrugged. "Like I said the spell packed too much of a punch after you had a foodfight." he said and she nodded as Paige looked down smiling then.
"I never saw this coming, so all this time you been trying to make things easier on us, wait a second the empath blocking potion not just for us, you took it as well. You never wanted Phoebe to expose you, before you told us yourself now, but better from you. Then getting it from her, why: because now we know, their relationship was never destroyed. As you're the proof, if it had been, no you and possibly no baby girl!" Paige said smiling and he nodded and Piper smiled.
"I'm their unborn son, my birthday is next November, November 16, 2004, my conception date is the weeks leading into Wyatt's birthday." he said and his parents sat down. "It was never you, that, this, was meant to happen, and rather than what's coming, you insured it. Insured our family is never torn apart, because of our jobs, like I said, they wanted to give us a chance. To prove we can make this work, before adding a baby to the mix." Leo said and he nodded to him.
"I came back to save you, my family, she and Leo, you, are my parents, I'm the younger of their, your, boys, only not one, but 2. I'm a twin, the older of two now, my twin brother is like you dad, me, I'm like mom, but our bond last month. Of the last 6 weeks, since the girls moved out, insured a change in the proceedings, look at us now." he said and Piper nodded smiling. "So that's everything, you came back to fix this, everything, get your father and me back together."
"Not on a deadline, we got 6 months till your conception date, so we're right on schedule right now, okay your father and I accept that right now. Thank you for telling us the truth, we're fine with this now, so before we have unwanted company dropping in. Just get your stuff and we move you into your bedroom, whichever room it was." she said and he nodded to her. "But I lost everything by the time I was your age, Paige, of 16 to 17 at the time here in truth now."
"And because of evil, rather than a car accident, I came back to now, to save my family." he said and she nodded gently to him. "Finally the truth is out, you risked your own existence to save the entire family. And to save Wyatt from evil, or turning evil, after Prue and I discovered the side effects of the house." Piper said, as the anger she once felt changed to relief, happiness and understanding then and he nodded. "Yeah mom, dad." he said, saying the words finally.
"With just arriving during the titan crisis, this was neither the time, nor the moment, as you were either in mourning or 2. Thinking you'd never see each other again now, but the quintet would have granted exception. Especially, if you asked to continue staying down here, but Valhalla, that was actually meant. Now, to bring out the soldier side of you, turn you into Daniel as he is now, once a gentle scientist, into a skilled soldier." he said and his parents nodded.
"Time and moment to create an alibi, in why we got a teenager suddenly living here in the house right now." Leo clarified and he nodded. "Till now and said is you had me 15 years ago, but my sudden appearance now, was because I was in boarding school. In L.A., Wyatt was just born, and things between you and mom were getting tense right now. The job was the final straw, and I took up my position as man of the house." he said and she nodded to the alibi.
"We always knew the side effects, that at the same time Paige is adjusting to her being a teenage whitelighter herself, little whitelighter, you and your brother. You gave us everything we need, to knowing how to deal with a half breed now at the time. But having your brother now, the sudden pressures of a new born hybrid in the house. Is why the last 6 months, since he was born, things between you and me have been a little tense." she said and Leo nodded.
"But you never lost her at all dad, in fact, this was meant to get you back up to pre Billy and the DOI." Chris said and they smiled in delight at the news. "But 'she' says you were happy, before I gave you a break from each other, but look at it. Marriage counseling, and you're sleeping on the couch, does that sound like you're happy?" he asked and they nodded and Phoebe paled. "No it doesn't and you saved our marriage, this is going to take months, and you gave us that."
"Thank you for that truth, baby." Piper said and he smiled and Paige also smiled in delight, at the reveal then. "After she created the spell to start jumping through your personal memories of you and dad, that idea of marriage counseling backfired. Resulting in separation, so I decided to take you back to when you met dad, and move it forward now. Till we reached Katie and the trolls now, look at the difference." he said and she smiled in delight then gently at the news.
"So we're currently up to…." she asked and he smiled. "Bane." he said and she and Leo nodded then. "The intention here was give you the said months you mentioned to dad, after you said this would take months to work through. Well it's been exactly the 5 months, since that remark now." he said and she nodded gently. "I never lied to you, I just told you everything, and while doing that, gave you enough time to build your way back up to Bane." he said and they nodded.
"But save Wyatt from evil, save him from good turning so good, it turns evil, we got an elder suffering the same complex as Dumbledore does. Wyatt is Harry, to him, to save the future, Wyatt has to die, but damned if you do, damned if you don't, so take out. In truth, a third option, bind his powers till he's 12." he said and she and Leo nodded in understanding. "But only, in truth, the witch powers are bound, elder powers are the same as Ancient powers."
"But he's pre elder, I am elder with you being promoted." he said and Leo nodded as she hugged him tightly at the reveal and he hugged her tightly. "I love you so much mom, it's going to be okay right now, we got 16 months, not on tight time frame here." he said and she nodded smiling as she said it then. "So the titans were a month later now, and you gave us the entire 5 months, to fix our relationship, lock Phoebe out of our heads, show we can live both now."
"In ways, as you be the designated babysitter and big brother Wyatt needs, and now the truth comes out, more then we thought, as instead of fading out. It's you just solidified completely almost like…, Michael's near fatal mistake on the movie, get him together with his mother. One kiss and he and his brother and sister appear on the picture, solid future, they were procreated. So it just happened for real, your father and I, as you're mine, our relationship has healed."
"Completely, so 6 more months now and we do it, it results in you." she said and he nodded gently. "Then there is no way in heck I'm just not accepting the responsibility for getting you pregnant, because if he and I were dealing with a demon or darklighter. And I got shot, he still blames me, so he gets turned next, it's your reaction all over again. 'Don't know me', more like 'why did you leave me, you promised never to leave me!'." Leo said and she nodded gently.
"Great that's exactly what we don't need and who do we have to thank for that?" she asked and he looked at Phoebe and they nodded. "This is the dealing with the Bronto's mother, he blamed his mother for leaving him, but technically he was right. She shouldn't have fought him alone without back up, baby let me take a guess here, but by then, if I never came. I too was dead, so first your mother, then Phoebe, me and then your father?" Paige asked and he nodded sadly.
"Next to last, but dad hurt the most, he promised, but this currently if your past selves are here, is the surgical, turned pre-emptive strike. That's why I came back, as the sole catalyst for the downward spiral is the Brotherhood." he said and she nodded at the news. "As in the Thorn, Cole's regiment!" Leo said sharply and he nodded. "Yeah you killed 3, we got to get them all, but Wyatt became the new Source, in 19 years, if I never stop this." he said to him then finally.
"Okay that's a good reason to come back, we're their enemies, good, he's a force to be reckoned with, just like you are, evil it's a nuclear radioactive bomb waiting to go off." Piper said sternly and he nodded to that in agreement. "We'll let that go, now that you told us the truth, but what about your mother and me exactly right now, after you crashed the date. And you were drenched in mud?" Leo asked and he nodded, as he answered him gently then to that question.
"I would have told the guy the truth: you been married, since high school, but second baby, new problems and you needed a break." he said and she covered her eyes. "Well that would do it, after your father and you covered, not only babysitting right now. But got the last ingredient to create the mind blocking potion now, as we been married since sophomore year. Had you junior year and 16 years exactly, and you're turning 16 in 3 months." Piper said with an amused smile.
"So with your father promoted, you stepped up to be my new whitelighter." she said and he nodded to her. "You really been working at keeping her from finding another boyfriend, and getting her back together with Leo, while at the same time protecting us and Wyatt. So if this reached sum weeks leading into our figuring out who you are, and we bust you then. Rather then now, long before your birthday…?" Paige asked and he nodded to her gently at that then.
"It's cutting it way too close, but currently now, I got them back together, so here I am, Prue said, if necessary to come out and tell you the truth. Well it's time right now, I am your son, your second born Piper, Leo." he said and she smiled. "What the.., who left that playing, that's the theme to Cherry talking to Ponyboy." Paige said and she smiled. "Nice choice in themes, that fits in well with this, but thank you for telling us the truth, so you really came to save Wyatt."
"And us, because something caused him to crash." Piper said and he nodded smiling and she smiled then. "If you remember the gender spell, just focus on seeing yourself as a teenager and boy, Piper." he said and she closed her eyes and did that, before seeing him standing in front of her and her eyes shot open then. "You look just like me!" she said and he nodded. "Wyatt gained dad's looks, I gained your's, but have dad's eyes." he said and the couple smiled then.
"Yeah alright, so that possibility is just that, if we don't find who targeted him, do we have a Dumbledore theme, to save the future?" Paige asked and he nodded. "I think so, but issues in the family, that Bane would be Jason finding out what we are, and Grams's friend. That is Magic school right now, but that's as much as I can say as we finish here now in this. In getting you and dad back together right now, we're nearly there." he said and Piper smiled in delight.
"The evidence now is beyond clear at the current moment, rather than you looking like you're fading out, you've grown completely solid now. So you're definitely in our future here, as we watch baby you grow into your body right now in this case." Leo said smiling and he nodded. "Well there's the evidence, your relationship is back on track now, a few more months and before Wyatt's birthday, it happens." he said and the couple smiled in delight then gently.
"Next fall, 2004 to be exact, November 2004, that's my due date." he said and they nodded smiling happily then at the news. "We just see what day you were born on, but month and year helps, so Chris Perry, I named you after my father, and Perry is the name Prue. Now, would have named her son, so Christopher Perry Halliwell/Wyatt now." Leo said and he nodded to him and she hugged him tightly in relief at that, she knew who the young man was finally then.
"Yeah, that's my entire name, Christopher Perry Halliwell/Wyatt, or rather Christopher Perry Allen Victor to be exact now here, to change the cover story. And to why you have me here at the moment, you had me back in 1987, but I been in boarding school. And for the last 6 years, so no one after your lives started as witches knew this, as she undid your powers. And I, out of knowing things with the family are tense, orbed home finally." he said and they both nodded.
"Yeah that works, the boarding school we sent you to was magic school, upon hearing that your father was up for promotion at the same time the titans were about to be released. Explains why Phoebe, Leo and I didn't recognize you on sight, but do now." She said and Leo nodded. "Agreed, I sent you to magic school from 5 to 10 years as a preschool, you met Bianca there. Before learning I was about to be promoted and you came home." he said and Paige nodded.
"Which explains why you never told me this now, one problem after another, I never knew you had a son, before Wyatt was born, Prue knew about you, but she died. When you were 13, and you knew about me for 3 years and we met during the titans now." she said and the trio nodded in agreement then. "There we go, the truth is out now, so rather then Christopher, baby you is called Christian Leonard, so Leo Jr. for short." Piper said smiling and he chuckled and nodded.
"Alright everything is fine now and I agree with you, the catch of binding only the witch powers is best, but we get an attack in the next 90 minutes. We're doing it after we get your brother back, but you, currently, are like Tommy after he lost his powers, can't over do it. In fact you're still recovering, pal." he said and Chris nodded as he stroked a hand through his hair, and he buried his face into his shoulder in response and he hugged him tightly as she and Paige smiled.
"No offense baby sister, but this is my side of the family, so none of your's, okay." she said and Paige nodded to the request. "Uh momma, Aunty Paige, Aunty Phoebe." Wyatt said, pointing at Phoebe, and they and Leo looked at Phoebe who had an irritated look on her face. "Not your business Phoebe, but out, this is between Chris, Leo and me right now. And only us, so stay out of this, Phoebe, I mean it, you had a problem with him ever since he arrived, get over it."
"Right now Phoebe, because his secrets are his own, but his lies are nothing compared with your's, you told us he was alive, you never said 'he' was back!" she said sternly and she jerked at that. "Yeah I agree with her Phoebe, but this is back to that again, but his decisions never cost anyone their lives, or exposed us, we're his charges, as his family. Yes he has secrets, but those secrets are half exposed, now drop it." Leo said and they turned back to Chris then.
"Shouldn't you be angry at this?" Phoebe asked and the trio turned to looked at her. "No, now that the truth is out, we can work through this and start over, I have a teenage son. My best friend, my baby boy, if Dan comes back and with him, Jenny, well no, Chris comes first. My family comes first and screw the ex and said ex's niece, family comes first." she said and Phoebe jerked at that remark, realizing she was going mother bear with him and Leo crossed his arms.
"Should be, we should be angry, but surprisingly, no we're not, in fact knowing we got an older son here, giving us the help. That we need, no we're not at all, you're in Hong Kong, Paige is living with Richard, so just us. So no, and anyway what business of it is your's, regarding our marriage now. Because divorce means no him now, and Wyatt turns evil, but our relationship has healed enough for me to move back in." Leo said sternly, and she jerked at the jab then.
"Mom, the Shadow demon." Chris said and she crossed her arms then. "Thank you for that I needed that reminder, there's the key to why you said you had to protect Wyatt." she said and Paige stood up then. "I don't understand Piper." she said and she explained that. "It's because I never got around to telling you this and 2) now is we were making our way here. As our own power of 3, but the house is a spiritual nexus, can be source of undeniable good or evil now."
"Excuse me though Phoebe, if you forgot this, after the earthquake that exposed you to the Shadow demon, causing multiple attacks and altercations. You were the only one born in the house, that makes you more connected, can go either way, if something is screwing here. With your morality, and guess what, something did now, but this is why you prefer Wyatt more. He's like you: born in the house." Piper said sternly then and she went white, forgetting that part.
"Chris was born in the hospital, but his witch powers came late, only had his whitelighter powers, which to me was a godsend right now. Because less trouble that way, as I raised him a whitelighter, got him a medication prepped when he caught a cold or the flu. I learned to live with a toddler to teenage whitelighter and thank god I sent him to boarding school. Before you came home, so he was ready when Wyatt was born as his powers activated right now in truth."
"But Andy, the Professor, Paul, the electrician, you remember that right now, so when in doubt, start at the beginning right now, and she. That's Prue, and I did this in the professor's office, after our shadow demon kicked us out of the house that year. But first came the electrician, then the Professor, she attacked Josh, Paul and then last, but not least. Is Andy, and Darryl arrested him and yanked the gun out of his hand." she said and Leo crossed his arms then.
"So time for a history lesson on the house, honey, look at this, Paige get the triangle shaped ruler, you're going to need this if we have to use that damn spell to destroy it." she said and Paige grabbed it, and Piper put the map down, and did what she and Prue did. And Paige froze in shock. "Our house was built in the center of pentagram." she said and Piper nodded. "The house was built in this spot, to keep the nexus grounded in good right now, but evil gets it."
"And it turns evil and starts spreading, which is what Cole did last year." she said and Leo nodded sternly and Phoebe swallowed hard at that. "Like her, Wyatt was born in the house, makes him more connected to it, it's very dangerous, like being conceived. And by the force was for Anakin, when Obi-wan found him it's natural for him to use the force. Just like it's natural to be a witch/lighter for Wyatt, but solid ground to stand on." she said and Paige nodded sternly.
"Then it's being beyond firm and not let him get away with everything, with him being the twice blessed and not when Chris is trice blessed right now, okay. So Chris has a very good point, enough trauma and his morality gets warped and he crashes. And becomes Vader without the Mask?" Paige said and she nodded sternly. "Bingo, and while he's preventing that, he's fixing my relationship with his father, nothing wrong with that." she said and Phoebe swallowed hard.
"Great, first you and then mom, dad, Sam and Grams next, guys." Piper said and the quartet nodded sternly in agreement. "Agreed, this is not her business, your family is a union between witches and whitelighters, it's like being conceived from the force. You're so powerful you can go either way, if something is screwing with your morality." Odin said sternly and they nodded, just as she was answering the phone went off. "Brnng!" they heard and Chris grabbed the phone.
"Halliwell residence, oh hey guys, yeah, yeah Darryl, the truth just came out, but I'm her son, her and Leo, the reason you never met me till now was I was in boarding school. And up till dad was promoted, yeah got married same day 1988, had me in November 16, 1988 here. Yeah I needed help here, Wyatt was too young for a teenage babysitter, yeah uh huh, thanks. Mom and dad are fine with how I did this, but it worked, yeah they're fine now, thanks Uncle Darryl."
"I appreciate that, yeah I came back after hearing dad was promoted, and that was a training session, we got an elder hosting the Dumbledore complex over my brother. Yeah why just the half whitelighter, not the half demon, and Phoebe is beyond irritated." he said and sat down with his arm half crossed across his chest them and Piper nodded. "It gets better, you recall Andy's reaction after coming in the house, Paul, the Professor?" he asked and nodded gently then.
"The house was built in the center of a pentagram now, keeping what it's standing on top of grounded in good, but evil has the house, it turns evil. Then starts spreading right now, only Phoebe was born in the house, and she deliberately blocked that out. And mom, upon remembering this, showed Paige what she and Prue realized. Yeah no kidding not her business, we're not her children now, this is not her marriage, so but out right now in truth, uh huh."
"Yeah I know, it's she's in trouble here alright, not her business, could you do us a favor and spread that around the precinct though. Yeah, yeah, the reason no one knew of me and why I showed up out of the blue, was just before Phoebe activated their powers. And dad came back, yeah okay, see you in an hour, yeah I was in L.A. in a boarding school. I'm the more powerful version of an angel, dad's bosses of angels in guardian angels now, yeah exactly, it's that."
"When dad took on the added powers of being an elder it went right into me, you too, the memories shot into you, and you're as irritated as Cortez and Sheridan are. The phone is ringing off the hook at your house right now, from everyone we told 2 years ago. How could that be unless…, mom and dad's past selves just jumped forward two years now. And brought that irritation with them, yeah exactly, alright thanks, see you." he said and hung it up then gently.
"The Morris's were checking in and I just told him this, but the phone is ringing off the hook at their house, knowing we needed a fast family talk at the moment here. And before we have a case of the pariah situation getting started, but he's forwarding it to Grandpa. The cops and Sheila, so they know it, I went by the name Chris Perry, but I look like Drew Fuller. So with that, it's like Drew has been in boarding school for going on 6 years, it's I just been in boarding."
"That's boarding school, up in L.A. all this time till May right now till you, after whatever the heck was going on, before I orbed home hit." he said and they nodded. "Great there we go, our past selves just jumped forward 2.5 years and bringing our irritation at your aunt. Over her attitude over you into this and now it's hit the others, so first us and then Darryl. This keeps up and your grandparents, the Elders and Penny are next." Leo said and he and Piper nodded then.
"But I think we made it long enough to have you move back into the house honey, it's been 6 months now, time to come home, Leo." Piper said smiling and he smiled and nodded. "Yeah we fixed our problems, time to come move back into the house, but we're cloning Chris. To prevent that turn on the Elders now, we know we got a rotten apple in the orchard. We just don't know who, but for now, between now and our due date best not think about it here, so with that."
"But I'm back now, so give me a few minutes." he said and Piper nodded, as he packed up everything he had from where he been living, since the separation. And moved everything he had back into their bedroom, and his toolbox under the sink. "Okay everything is back in place in the bedroom, honey, so I'm home, and we tell Greg the truth. The separation was so we could work out our problems, and we fixed everything." he said and she nodded smiling at that.
"This was, this is, Look Who's Talking magic style, only the unborn baby is a teenager talking for themselves, and helping out. So now it's reversed, it's the first born, not the second, that caused the split up 18 months after the events of the first movie. The second fixed the damage and everything is okay now, but when the relatives start interfering. That's when you got a reason to be worried, Grams thinks you're a keeper, we're okay, and 15 months we got baby."
"That's 6 months till your conception, and another 9 till your birthday, so exactly 15 months, and things in the household are fine. You're staying here baby, this is your house and we're family, I don't care what she thinks, to me you come first. She knew when we each got married things were going to change right now, but first to get married. To have children, my family comes first, you, Wyatt and your father." she said gently and Chris smiled at the news then.
Now feeling, instead of his fading out, feeling himself solidified completely, as they now knew he was their's, their supposed youngest turned oldest with the alibi now. That he was now a definite future possibility, as they conceived him and he was now official. "Your mother's right in truth, now that the truth is out, we get you settled into your bedroom. Me your mentor, and we're back to how you remember us, in your real present, or supposed past now in truth."
"Everything is fine, you were the answer to our prayers, time to come home now son." Leo said smiling and he nodded as they hugged him and he left his head on his shoulder. Feeling their arms around him for the first time in 4 years since, since the Brotherhood murdered his parents then. "So that's it, you don't care he's been lying to us, since he got here?" Phoebe asked, feeling her anger growing and the couple looked at her sternly at that remark sternly.
"We're not on any time scale, he just admitted the first half of the truth here, said is to prevent that separation from turning into divorce, when Wyatt is still a baby. Is taking time off from each other, like we did year 2, after said trip to 2009 right now, in getting us back together. And his father and I are fine with that right now, knowing who he is now and why. That he risked his existence as we had another baby, and he's turned completely solid now finally, so all true."
"He's my unborn son, my unborn baby boy, so no I'm not mad at all, but why are you getting on our case, it's my family, once Chris explained things to his father and me. We don't care in why he lied to us, he risked his own existence to save his brother. This is entirely, he saved our marriage, by giving us a break from each other, and again. What's it to you exactly, it's not your marriage, Wyatt's not your son." Piper said then slowly and she paled, realizing she didn't care.
"But I guess to you this is too much, you had been against him ever since you gained those powers, it had been 5 weeks since he arrived, and upon reaching that moment. He positioned himself as my bodyguard, only he and Leo were training, he was pretending it. That Chris was the unsub right now, as he prepared to do this, but knowing Chris's thinking here. Is that he and Leo were training to deal with our unsub." She said and Phoebe swallowed hard at that news.
"But to quote Leo now, being trapped in a never ending war between us and your demon ex husband for 3 years and fighting for our lives has changed me, a lot. Chris is right, you are wrong, now that Cole is about to return to the scene right now. I'm happy for the first time ever, I have my husband back, I learned I have a second son, who's my baby. And my best friend, so no longer we, but me, I can be free to be me, rather then we now, because it's my family."
"Or is that the problem, your happiness is about to be destroyed once again, our's is fixed, Paige is dating, but happy, and soon, we're getting her together with a man like Andy now. Andy decided it didn't matter what we are, he loves Prue for herself, not a problem here. But is that the problem, we're happy, you know you're about to become single again right now. And see this as no can't have that, you're trying to drive a wedge between us right now here now."
"By once again attacking the outside source, that source has a name, it's called responsibility, because we got outside help. Strike 1) Jenna, after he couldn't resist Belthazor any longer and shot and kills Jenna, you blame Jenna, and get turned into a Banshee. 2) Paige had been telling us for months he clearly turned evil, you're pregnant, and turn on us now. And to save us, your sisters and brother-in-law, you have to destroy your own happiness as you blame Paige now."
"And now, strike 3, you're dating a mortal, said mortal is possibly just like Dan after the genie, and he learns the truth, he's beyond disgusted. And leaves you, and you're furious at this that you take it out on my 15 year old, or possibly unborn, son. But to you everything, everything, was fine till he showed up, well no nothing was fine at all, since Cole came into it." she and she started shaking in fear, realizing she was doing it again and Paige crossed her arms sternly.
"But it's not your marriage, he's not your son, we don't mind this, he gave us the exact help we needed right, alot of things have changed, one of those things. Is we got a teenage helper in the house now, we need a babysitter, we got one, he's an orb away. In case we need to send him to go grocery shopping in either version now, so if I need him after school. I just call him to me, he orbs here or to the club, writes down what we need, we give him the money, he orbs back."
"That's back to the school and there we go now, if it shoots too close next fall, I know he's thinking screw going back to the future, I'm staying here. So my parents and Paige can focus, everything's fine, they lost another friend or 2, but they never lost me. Our friendship with Darryl is not destroyed, everything is fine now at the moment. As once my mission is complete, we get good Wyatt dropping in, and they see us together finally." she said to her then sternly.
And Chris nodded in agreement. "Yeah that's point of fact, you know me well enough, if we had close call the week of my 17th birthday now. I decided no, you need me here, so you can reassure yourselves you never lost me, dad's fine. He never had a power break down, we never lose Paige's new love interest, we never lost Darryl's friendship. Before we have Wyatt dropping in, you see another close call and reversal, and then he goes back." he said and she smiled.
"And now I'm living in the house full time, but 80% good food, 20% junk, and I'm a teenager, so bottomless pit right now. That teenage cub here is the one dealing with the added trouble of babysitting duty, or just the added errands. And then this results in the standard, 'alright, now what exactly', after the 9 lives fiasco." he said and Paige started laughing at that. "Point taken baby, and you're right, but don't go there, we see enough strange things as it is right now."
"But that's one for record books." she said with a smile and he nodded as Leo hid a chuckle then at that. "But yeah, supposedly born in 1988, and exactly 15 years old, you're turning 16 next year, that between you, your brother and your father. You and your father are ravenous bottomless pits, issues in a family of four, or 5, if you're a twin. Then family life is as normal as we can get it, but again Phoebe, not your family, back off." she said sternly and she flinched.
"Yeah I agree with them here, Phoebe, it's not your marriage, Wyatt is not your son, Chris is not, were you expecting me to kill him for sending me to Valhalla if that's what happened. That, now, instead of us being angry after you moved out, we're acting like a family right now. He's telling us the truth, his mother and I fixed our problems, we're so close to getting back together. And the immediate emergency is going to result in it being your head, if he relapses right now."
"That son risked his own existence to save his brother and save our marriage right now, but I guess to you that's a reason to be mad. But to us, it's not, we don't mind, and why do you care, or is it to you, everything was fine till he showed up. Is that it, like 3 years ago, after Jenna and we threw Cole out of the house, everything to you was fine. And till he arrived here now, that it, well no, not at all, nothing has been fine, since you and Cole got married or even further back."
"It's Jenna and Paige all over again, though Jenna was dead, you blamed her for having us and Prue throw Cole out, you resented Paige. Because she was right, and you were wrong and you had to destroy your happiness, before the little brat. Now started modeling after you, and destroying your happiness, and now you're doing it to my son. That is something I will not tolerate, Phoebe!" Leo said sternly and she went white then, realizing she was screwed then.
"We had a lousy 3 years, since you fell in love with Cole." Piper said coolly and she swallowed hard. "What's the problem, angry and disgusted at his ways to handle marriage counseling, but you don't want to be alone. And when it was your secrets that cost Prue her life, his secrets never cost a family member their life, but your's did now?" Leo said and she jerked in pain at that jab, realizing they didn't care for his lies, but they were still holding Cole over her.
"But once again, it's us on one side of the fence, you on the other, whether Prue is here or not, Paige on me, you never liked him anyway." Piper said and Paige moved to Piper then. "Uh, what's happening here exactly?" she asked and he nodded. "Side effects of time travel, jump back a few years nothing changes, aside from you knowing what baby grows up to be. Jump forward a few, and your past selves bring along the memories." Chris said and she nodded.
"I think adult me jumped back to the past, told you and mom the truth, and Prue with you, and then revealed what happened today, and they decided to make sure now. I'm seen as golden child, protecting Wyatt, and you can trust me completely now." he explained and she nodded to the news. "Well that works, us jumping forward two years is not a big deal, if baby you jumped to the past, and we created the alibi you were born in '88." Piper said and Paige smiled gently.
"And.., there we go, instead of big me, is baby me in place of big me, I'm 15, born in 1988, you met me 2 years ago, Jenna is alive, and mom and dad. They created my medication, after the incident with the NyQuil, and created it for you, so no more orbing after catching a cold." he said and she looked down smiling and Leo hid a chuckle. "Adjusting to 2 years of having a teenage and young adult halfbreed in the house, before the baby one is born." Leo said and he nodded.
"Baby you, so we know what baby you grows into now, by seeing you like this." Paige said and he nodded gently to her. "And 14 in an 18 year old body, yeah Jenny is too old for you, she's 18 years old, you're a young teenager and you're taken already by Bianca." Piper said and Leo nodded in agreement then to that. "So now that you're back at the moment we can handle this, but after Cole blasted you, I threw him out house, I didn't want him anywhere near you."
"You're officially turning 15 in 3 months, so you're 14 currently going on 15, and 2 years after that you're 17, once we're done with destroying every demon there is to destroy." she said and he nodded to her. "Off hand that first 3 weeks after you moved in, changed things permanently, you're helping me in the kitchen, when we're doing inventory duty. You're with me at the club, and helping me go through supplies, here, with dinner, the chores and your brother now."
"Things are normal in the household, but with your father promoted, you stepped up, and helped me heal on that. But big brother, new whitelighter, you're my personal bodyguard now in the house, you and me, it was after. Now, I was on a business date with Seth, that she made things worse, your father was on parent duty that night. A fight breaks out between girls, and you get me, and we go from there, leading into now." she said and he nodded and she said it.
"Prue would agree to this that we bind his powers after the situation whatever happens in the next 20 minute, honey." she added and Leo nodded in agreement. "Agreed and what comes in raising the boys and their powers, is up to you." Paige said and Leo nodded. "Agreed, regarding the boys and being raised and their training is up to us only, before baby girl is born now." he said and she nodded. "Agreed, we bind his witch powers." he said and Phoebe paled at that.
"No Jeremy, you can't eat that." "Ahh!" they heard as Chris looked at his brother and he had smile on his face as he was looking at what triggered the scream, and Chris looked down and started laughing. "Wyatt, kitten was unhappy he can't play with whatever that was, but that's no reason to throw a bad temper. Because his human said no to him, just like if I take away what you play with when it's dangerous, but me big brother, you baby brother."
"Remember I just arrived and you were leery of me, because you realized you're not an only child, as we adjusted to being together, and now to you, I'm big brother." he said and he nodded with an amused smile on his face, as his shield came over him. And Piper and Leo smiled at that. "Yeah I love you too bro." he said, smiling at him. "Yeah I call that unhappy, but that screaming, because he can't play with it, is going too far." Piper said with a chuckle at that.
"Looks like he was scanning your Youtube account and found something to occupy himself, he loves the music on The Outsiders in the instrumental side of it." Leo said and she nodded smiling. "Well we chose more wholesome music to listen to, and he likes our version, it makes him happy, with the non vocals. Because this is nice to listen to, while the little fetus that Cole bred liked the on the edge of heck music, like Ozzie." Paige said with a laugh and Piper nodded.
"Then what was that scream we just heard." she asked and Chris tapped it back, to show them, and she started laughing at that. "You found that funny, baby?" she asked and he nodded with a smile. "We're cat people and he's watching cat clips right now, alright point taken, you want a cat, we can get a cat after Kit left." she said and he nodded smiling happily. "Yeah we better get him a kitten and they grow old together." Leo said smiling and Chris chuckled at that remark.
