Chapter 26: Cruel Truths And Future Reprimands II
"And when we now got to deal with our doubles, stand by, mirror!" he snapped swinging his hand the mirror appeared in the attic. "Rein check here, time is up, remember what we talked about 2.3 years!" Leo said and his counterpart nodded. "Yeah we're ready on our end, like you we know who is after Wyatt." his wife's counterpart said and they nodded. "Differences set aside for our families." he said and they nodded. "For our families." the Wyatts said together then.
"Everything is reversed, evil is good, good is evil, but Phoebe you're in enough trouble already, but you think either of us would forgive you, if Chris is injured fatally. And killed on the job, watch yourselves boys, like we talked about my colleague, to get back and the truth. You need to talk to our version of Barbus." Leo's counterpart said and Chris and Leo nodded. "See you in 13 months, guys." Leo said and they nodded as he swung his hand and it returned to the school.
"Just imagine some murder mystery that kills a faculty member at the school, Paige and her counterpart also end up in that book. And we're writing in plot twists till the next lands in front of Paige and her love interest as he knows what we're trying to tell them." Chris said and she smiled as Leo hid a chuckle as Paige tried to keep from laughing. "And to repeat that, thanks guys, can you be any less subtle here in redirecting me?" she said and Penny started laughing.
"Yes and before the keys do a fast chime in response to that remark, but the old fashioned pianos of the 1940's and I think that's when the book was set in. But 30's and 40's, leading into the 50's here, when my age group was still dressing in dresses and office suits. You already got a taste of that time line girls after you jumped back to then to see this from her perspective. But Russel was Phoebe's past life, Baxter was Piper's and I think Bowen was Prue's now, baby."
"While the evil enchantress was your's, Paige, in which case right now, it's when you're emotionally worked up, you're too distracted to see what's right in front of you. In what could possibly be a trap, and that time frame was making like the Michael Keaton movie. As for this, it's trying to redirect that the next plot twist has your sisters trying to redirect this. Before you get yourselves killed, and the book throws you out of it next." Penny added with a gentle smile.
"Jeez, you get any more messages thrown into that book someone is going to wonder where all the plot twists are coming from here, after whoever created that book started it. And we finished it now as we get the author of the story out of the damn thing here right now. And that's not the first time our love for creative writing came into this." Piper said through her's then. "I know, but they did that with season two of the power rangers, so we do the same thing here now."
"Need I say more?" Chris said and his parents shook their heads. "Nope, you made your point, this is a repeater of the horseman, but Phoebe, just what is your problem. You too self righteous to admit at times we need to work with evil to save a family member. Or did you forget the power ball incident, Cole set Paige up so she's on one side of the line and we're on the other. You saying we can't get help from our enemies to save our youngest?" Piper said and she paled.
"I didn't say that!" she said and he nodded sternly. "Need I remind you of when you and mom had to break the rules and combine forces with the horseman. To find Prue, or when mom and Aunt Prue had to combine forces with the demonic bounty hunters to find you and Cole. She never had to say the words, but to her, who are you talk about secrets right now. When your's destroyed our family and look what it does to me." he said and she went pale at that remark.
"Ooh good good catch there, we had to work with demons to stop another demon, or just save a family member, so that kills her argument. Of working with demons is wrong, no matter what the reason, even if it means saving a family member. The lesser of two evils here, we got to bend a rule or two, to save a life." Piper said smiling sternly and Phoebe went white, realizing she threw that out deliberately to keep up the attitude and Leo crossed his arms sternly then.
"Phoebe, shut up right now, you're forgetting memories we forged with Prue on purpose as an excuse to treat him like shit, well that's enough of this crap. But the parallel was us working with the horseman to get Prue back, and us trying to get Wyatt. That's going to be Katie, but this is not about you, it never was, it's about me, my family, Season 3. That was me and Leo, and 3 years later, me, Leo, Chris and Wyatt, so it's now my family." she said and Phoebe swallowed.
"The good news is that after I dropped the bomb, Prue said the extension is until Mellie is 2 years old, she's being conceived directly after my second birthday. So you got me for another 5 years mom, dad." he said and they smiled in delight at the news as Paige smiled. "So till Wyatt is 5, you 3 years old and she's 2, that's the best news I heard all night, baby." Piper said and Leo nodded in agreement as he gave the final nail in the coffin of her argument, as he cut off.
"But what 4 months does to you huh, with you out of the way, my parents and I have had time to bond deeply, as no you, and we stand a better chance then running against the clock." he said sternly and Piper and Leo nodded in stern agreement to his remark then sternly. "With your attitude as of right now, I was closer to Prue then I am to you, but then why not. She and mom are beyond close, but they and dad, it's the same as the next generation, over Cole now."
"Two patterns, and with the same result, you're pissed here that the half/half sibling, or in my case, nephew destroyed your happiness with Cole. And now you're taking that attitude out by hounding me for information is said, by your sister, as need to know." he said and she swallowed hard, realizing she finally done it and Paige crossed her arms then. "And I knew that remark was going to come back into it, two patterns, but with the same result, you're dabbling here now."
"In the darkside and you hate the fact that we were right and you're wrong." she said to Phoebe sternly at that and she swallowed hard and Piper nodded sternly as Leo crossed his arms then sternly as she exchanged looked with Paige then firmly. "So there it is right now, so Prue sees you as perfect, her perfect baby nephew, to her, you can do no wrong when. And if she was alive, she practically helped me raise you and your brother, if you're a twin here baby, okay."
"Okay, so there's the bomb getting dropped on us, Prue is a whitelighter, as is Andy possibly, they, Sandra, Odin and whoever else with them. But Prue told you not to tell us anything and if necessary, like now, go to a truth spell to get your identity. And with it why you came and leave it alone, just tell us the truth, and then leave it alone, no information overload. Yeah okay, there we go, we always listened to Prue before, so why stop now." Piper said and Leo nodded sternly.
"Agreed, your aunt was my best friend, I loved her like a sister, but if our doubles changed the past your aunt returns, you get to have your aunt there watching you grow up. The way Paige will, if you were born in the past, as she meets you when you're 6 years old. That's 1993, another 8 years you're exactly 14 years old, and she's 24, yeah okay. As for your following orders by your aunt that's fine, we would give you the very same orders right now in truth."
"Alright, so Prue and Andy said not to tell us anything, unless absolutely necessary, well I see no reason to disobey her right now. When Phoebe's secrets destroyed this family, and look what it does to you." Leo said, crossing his arms and Piper nodded in stern agreement. "Case in point, this matter after they left the key out in the open, she created this mess. I now got the repair the damage and get him back, so…." he said and she and Leo nodded sternly in agreement.
"Like I said learning this, this soon, before getting the bomb dropped on us next spring is better right now, you're my son, and we just fix our relationship after the last 4 months. You move in and things are like they were last year, only better, with the fact we got you here." Leo said and Piper nodded in agreement. "You're just going to let it go that fast?" Phoebe said in shock. "You got a problem with that, he's not your son." Leo said and Piper nodded in stern agreement then.
"Yes and I agree with you, his secrets are nothing when compared with your's Phoebe, you lied to us, about Cole, you told us he was still alive, but you never told us he was back." she said and Phoebe went white, realizing they were still holding onto what she did 2.5 years prior then. "No that was different." she said, shaking and Piper crossed her arms. "How exactly, his lies never cost us a family member, your's did." she said and she swallowed hard at that remark.
"Paige on me right now." she said and Paige moved behind her then quickly, as their past doubles came out with their arms crossed then sternly. "I don't know what your problem is over Chris, and frankly I don't really care, but you're pushing my patience too damn far here. But what, just because he's doing everything he can to get the message across, you act like this. He has done nothing, but trying to make life easier on me since he arrived, giving me someone."
"Now to turn too, but you're never around, Paige can come and go as she pleases here, as of things right now, and since the riot act Grams gave us for you moving out. Did this ever occur to you, I got you out of the house so Leo and I could repair our relationship. While Chris starts acting like a big brother to Wyatt, he's my younger brother/son now in truth. And now the truth is possibly out, that he is our son, it's my family life, not your's that is the target and with that."
"In fact ever since he's been here he has to tried to insure nothing happens to us right now, but why are you pissed off right now, it's my personal life. So why are you getting angry on my personal life, in which case right now, just because something is going on. In my side of the family, why are you getting defensive, Wyatt is not your son, Chris is not your son. They're mine, unless it pertains your family, but out." she said and that did it finally for her at that.
"This is not about me, this is about him!" she snapped and they nodded. "No, this is about you, it's always been about you, you're mad we're still ganging up on you and judging you. You're mad we never let it go, and you're mad that Paige was right and you're wrong. It's always been about you and Cole, Chris just proved his trustworthiness." she said and she started shaking. "But that's my son you're picking on, knowing damn well you lied." she said sternly to her then.
"I agree with Piper and Leo, Phoebe, they're absolutely right, if Prue and Andy said leave it alone, we leave it alone, regardless of your curiosity. And don't talk to me about being responsible, you weren't so responsible when you fell in love with a demon." Penny said sternly and she swallowed hard. "God you have to let this whole Cole thing go, I mean you can't stay angry at me forever!" she snapped at the trio. "Why not young lady?" she asked sternly to her.
"Penny's right Phoebe, your choice killed the entire family, and look what it does to Chris, aside from my daughter and his twin, he has nothing to go back to. And is healing this way right now, but just exactly how many times can he say it's classified. And before you get the point and drop it, he's working for the resistance the military, magical military in the future." Leo said and Piper crossed her arms sternly as she looked between them shaking as Chris repeated that remark.
" And you're the soldier in the family dad, what else, and what if Nattie was my godmother, I turned into a young soldier here and you were the ones training me." Chris said and he nodded sternly in agreement. "Say you got the highest level clearance, not for something like this you don't, in Lloyd's words, any intel could widely impact the future. As is changing any one thing, but how many times do I have to say this, before you drop it." he said and she swallowed hard.
"Huh, how many, this is like Reese trying to explain things to Sarah and the cops see him as a total lunatic, before said psychologist misses it with the first attack. But gets the tail end of the second after he, the T-1000, breaks into the hospital." he said and she flinched. "Ouch, yeah good point." Paige said and Piper nodded. "Just what the heck do you want from me Phoebe, Bianca was playing double agent, Wyatt thought he turned her, and she was faking it now."
"She brought me back to get the spell to travel backwards through time, while leaving you the key to restore my powers!" Chris said sternly and Piper nodded sternly. "I wasn't in trouble, she's part of the resistance, why do you think I created that potion. But to keep you from hacking my mind to learn the truth, till I tell my parents the truth, and Paige with them. Like I said, I promised to tell you the truth, we run out of time and the truth is, I'm family here."
"I am family, but I'm their younger son, Piper and Leo, they're my parents." he said sternly and she jerked in shock. "And I don't need a blood test to know that right now, I knew he was half whitelighter, but if he needs to be healed. Then he's half witch/half whitelighter, meaning he's half of both of us, but though looking like he's the youngest of the 5 of you. He's really only 16, 16 months, before his baby time." Leo said firmly and he nodded sternly in agreement to that.
"But that reaction to get his brother back, you forget this, Labyrinth, he's a male version of Jennifer Connelly." Piper said and she swallowed hard. "I want my brother back, he's my life, my entire world, but you understand, you never had the chance to watch Paige grow up. Only meeting her at your current age 2 years ago, but just imagine here right now. That after 10 years now, she met me at 6, and then you have it happen a second time, this time with Wyatt."
"Just consider, if mom got pregnant a second time, just why is the morning sickness far stronger then when Wyatt was in the womb?" he asked and she froze up. "Well the reason is because it follows any normal pregnancy, good days, bad days, everything you're expecting. When you're expecting a baby, aside from baby Source, you no clue what covering the entire 9 months is." he said and she flinched, realizing he was right she only got a few weeks, barely two months.
With her deceased baby. "But being conceived in the house, lead to your powers being speeded up right from the womb. Me being born first right here in the house, lead to the very same possibility, that only Wyatt was to be born inside the house. But Baby Source, the underworld wanted him to become Evil, rather then the first child of the ultimate Source of Good. In the world, but when you decided to force her into tapping all his powers, it became Fred Krueger."
"His attempt to possess Lisa's unborn baby." Chris said and Piper crossed her arms. "Like I said, rather then listening to good natured wholesome music, music I would have you listen to. That maybe her unborn baby, would prefer to listen to Ozzy and his borderline entrance to hell type." she said and then said it to him gently. "Everything you just told us the truth baby, because if you in the future is now in the past, this means we would never let whoever it is near you."
"You, or your brothers." Piper said and he nodded to her gently. " True mom, it's all true, but aside from Mellie and my twin, I have nothing to go back to." he said and they nodded as she hugged him. "So all this time, you were going through demons till you found the right one, so we could destroy them, while looking for the rogue elder. And leave me to handle him, because you knew, to me family came first, your mother means everything to me and in total truth."
"Once you told us the truth, that ends all distrust, and life goes back to what it was, before my promotion, only better with you part of the family, helping your mother and me right now. In dealing with your brother, you become my apprentice and they got both of us?" Leo said and he nodded to him. "Yeah the marriage counselor's words, you need to get a life first, mom needs to be wife, wife and mother and you need more time as a couple, you get all 3 with me here."
"But 16 months in advance, the truth is out and you know why now, it's because with you an elder, your powers go into me, you can train me yourself." he said and Leo smiled at the news. "I think you better reactivate your handyman job, this way exactly, get a life, your life, now, as a handy man was how you met mom, when with you, she's just me, not we, a wife and mother. And you need more time as a couple and I can watch Wyatt when you want a night out."
"We just activate the evil repelling jinxes and the house is completely secured." he said and she smiled at his idea. "Shouldn't there be an adult in the house with you guys too?" Phoebe said in shock and Piper crossed her arms. "There should be, but there isn't and who's fault is that exactly?" Paige said sternly and she flinched at the remark. "And you're the one with the whitelighter powers, you can come and go as you please." he said to her in response gently.
"Yeah, but like Grams said, time for me to consider, stay at Richard's or move back in, as we're more then a match to protect Wyatt, and we got our witch powers too…" she started to say and then nodded sternly as she came to a decision then. "Alright that does it, I'm moving back in Piper, I'm coming home now." she added and Piper nodded as Leo sighed in relief then. "Chris shares something with me that Phoebe doesn't, but we can do protection together right now."
"But like he said, while she dotes on Wyatt, because like her, he was born in the house as well, Chris shares something even more important with me, but our parents are one of each. I got a walking, talking witch/lighter to connect to, we shared a very deep bond in truth. But I'm a normal witchlighter, still learning my way that way, his powers surpass mine now. Because of you Leo, you're an elder." she said and he nodded smiling gently, knowing immediately at that.
"But two adults, or young adult, witchlighters are more then a match for any demon, if we got another genie trickster on the loose." Leo said and Piper completed the sentence then sternly. "Phoebe, so help me god, do not say anything right now, you deserved every word he threw at you for that remark, left unsaid, but still said here. But he's right on all counts, because to find out what destroyed you or caused you to convert, I would do the very same thing here."
"Say he can't go back in time and play with people's lives, because his brother was picking on him, well newsflash, he picked on the entire planet." Piper said sternly and she went white in fear. "Don't start with me Phoebe, that's my 16 year old son, and he deserves all the love and support we can give him, now that the truth is out, the four of us, we're dead. In his future, so the only way to heal is by coming back to now." Leo said sternly and she started shaking then.
"Grandma passed before you could ever remember her, mom, I remember everything and believe me the pain never stops Phoebe, I was with mom when she was killed." Chris snapped and she ghostly pale at that as he wiped the tears off his face. "But first her, then you, Paige and finally dad, before losing Grandpa, Darryl, Sheila and finally Paige's husband next. Do you get it, I lost everything, everyone, I loved by the time I reached my current age in my present."
"Dad's murder was like the baby bronto's mother, he took the arrow for me!" he shouted at her as the tears were pouring down his face and she jerked at that reveal. "At times I hate being a half whitelighter, it's because just one arrow prevents me from saving who I love. If they're half or full, do you know what that's like!" Chris snapped shaking in pain and anger then. "Do you, no and it's because you're a full witch, Grams was natural causes, Grandma the sea hag."
"And Aunt Prue, if you been up here, she's still be alive right now, so don't you dare say you understand, you can't as you got a taste of that after dad and Paige got shot last year?" he snapped as he finished the remark. "But dad and Paige, they risked their lives everyday, never thinking about what would happen to Eric, Mellie and me, they were gone." he snarled as the trio felt their hearts lurch then, hearing the pained rant Piper had said to Leo as he went further.
"Mom and dad, Paige, they risked their lives every day, though retired in 3 years, they never considered what would happen to Mellie, my twin and me, they were gone. All I wanted was them back, you saw mom's reaction after the furies, I blamed you. If you just killed the bastard, our entire family would still be alive right now, it's all your fault!" he screamed at her as he was shaking in anger and grief as he went further and Penny nodded sternly as he said it then.
"My version of them died saving us, the duo and me, from being shot by the damn arrows, you want that memory, fine. Do you remember when dad and Paige dragged mom to the mausoleum, as Paige got her to say it finally, why did he leave me, why. It's happened twice now, the Spider demon is my version to the Furies, Phoebe, do you get it!" he said, shaking in grief as he slumped for on the sofa shaking in grief, as Leo crouched down then gently.
Gripping the back of his neck he squeezed as he was shaking in grief then as he stroked the hair at the back of his head and he buried his head into his shoulder. "It's okay, it's okay." he said softly and he shook his head then. "Not okay, you, promised, why you guys do that, you knew that you were all Mellie, Eric and I had left, you promised not to leave us. You didn't have to do that, but at times I hate being half whitelighter." he said as the tears ran down his face then.
As Leo pressed his forehead to Chris's and he closed his eyes, before burying his head into his shoulder and he hugged him tightly and she swallowed hard at that response then in fear. "Like she said, you guys risked your lives every day, you and Paige, you were all the three of us. In truth had left, never thinking about what would happen if we lost both of you and all at once. I was with you when you died, but even tearing my shirt sleeve off wasn't enough to get it out."
"But that's the one thing I hate about being a hybrid, I wish I was a full witch, then I would never have lost you. I can't take losing the three of you again, aside from Mellie and Eric, I have nothing here, nothing now, left to go back to. I can't take this twice, that's why I'm working overtime here now, so I never lose you again, but 14 trapped in an 18 year old body." he told him and he nodded gently as he rocked him and as he buried his head into his shoulder then
"That's why you hardened me enough that when I find who causes the downward spiral there is no mercy after they nearly killed you?" he asked and Chris nodded and he nodded. "It's okay buddy, going to be okay, once we deal with this, we do the rest of this now. The next 14 months together, I promise you that, you're never losing us again, I promise." he said softly and he nodded as he pressed his forehead to Leo's. 'I love you dad.' he heard gently and smiled then.
'I love you too son, I'm never losing you again, we'll fix this, we do this together.' he thought back to him and Paige crossed her arms gently. "Don't leave me, not again, don't leave." they heard through suppressed sobs, and Piper felt her anger surge at the remark then. "It's okay okay, it's okay, going to be okay, I won't ever leave, I promise, I won't." he said softly as he rocked him. 'Need papa, not ready to let go, still cub.' she saw him thinking and hid a nod.
"As if you hadn't done enough damage here, but you see what letting him live resulted in, your secrets destroy our family, and look what it does to him, Phoebe!" Piper said and she swallowed hard. "It's no wonder he tried to convince us, binding his powers is the only way to stop his future from coming to pass and with it, killing every piece to who causes it now. Phoebe, if this went into us not knowing till next spring, and your rant effectively destroyed him emotionally."
"If you thought I was bad, his parents are worse right now, so shut up, he deserves all the love, help and support we can give him. We have 14 months right now, till his birthday, so that gives us plenty of time to start going through demons till we get the right one. While for the said rogue elder, it's the truth spell." Paige said sternly at that. "And trust me once used, it takes hours for it to wear off, so every time anyone gets near us, either this elder and his accomplice."
"Try that, we're using it to get answers until the day of his birthday and we win." Piper said and she swallowed hard at that remark. "Seems she's disgusted and doesn't want to be alone, Piper, but why would we be now. I mean, with him giving it to us 6 months in advance, he admitted to why he came, he told us the truth, so the only one that should be mad. Is you and Leo, and surprisingly you're not, you don't mind right now." Paige said and she nodded sternly to that.
"You're right about that, we don't mind at all, he gave us enough we can manage with him here and now I get to see my youngest son, as a teenager. Before seeing my unborn cub him, grow into his body as he gets older, as we know what he grows into now. His being here till his sister is 2 is the best news I heard all night right now, that we can fix and get through this. Before the next chapter in year 2 gets started right now." she said and he smiled in relief she said that.
"So 3 against 1, Phoebe, you're outnumbered, but what if Prue agreed with this huh, what then, you got all of us ticked off right now, you're treating him like this. Because you wanted to be the one to save their marriage and Chris gets them back together, this soon. Leo comes home, things are like they were after I moved in, life back to normal now. And we're one big happy family again finally, only we got two cubs instead of one." Paige said and Leo nodded to that.
"That's the understatement the century baby, in truth, we share something with you, that you do with us, after you released that pain to us finally. Only Piper and I understand, like you do after Prue was killed, you're half of each of your parents. Just like the boys are of me and Piper, we share a connection, that the girls don't understand." Leo said and Paige nodded looking at her brother. "Wyatt has a mother already, that mother is Piper." she said and he nodded sternly.
"But just what do we have to do, to get you to but out, terminate your active powers, so we can have a bit of space, or just bind your powers ourselves, until you get it. Your powers are not a play thing, but that's enough of this already, he let you have it. Despite the fact that I said leave it be, you don't and then he gives you the reason you suck speech now. If you wanted to piss me off even more, you just did it now." she said sternly and Phoebe swallowed hard then.
"Dad, you better get a move on, my energy levels reached the bottom, I don't have anything left, I don't get that potion, I won't be able to help you get him back." Chris said, as he leaned forward on the sofa in exhaustion and they nodded quickly as Piper checked the said potion. And nodded as she got to work as she made it and then let it cool for a minute then. And before she ladled a cup's worth of it into a mug and gave it to him and he took it and swallowed it then.
As they saw him glow for a few seconds as he checked his chest and saw the burns fading even further then. "In addition to recharging me, it heals the burns, I've been on this since you moved Paige, but trust me. Me at this age from the future is one thing, but what happens if this happens if I was really 16?" he asked and she nodded sternly. "That the bait and switch, Wyatt's adult self just pissed me off right now by doing this to you by using her to do it now, baby."
"But resetting the last 17 years is best the best idea I ever heard of, knowing you're nephew, I watched you grow up and to me, you're my cub. I got a walking, talking witch/lighter to talk to, and I'm not lonely anymore in that aspect right now." she said and he smiled gently. "To get a break from her hounding us right now, I choose the one option she refuses to do. And by going after her husband's regiment." Chris said and the trio nodded sternly at that remark then.
"Why are you refusing to take out the Brotherhood, that's the only way we can actually get some peace and quiet for once, after killing baby Source. The Seer and the original Source, but are you just refusing, because you want them to kill us?" Paige snapped and Phoebe jerked at the accusation. "To protect the family, we should be taking the fight to them, instead of waiting for them to come to us, like the horror movies." Piper said and Leo nodded in agreement then.
"Paige get the Morris's, they need the truth here of what the hell is going on here, with mom, and Grams now knowing what direction the conversation took, the Morris's are next." Piper said and she nodded and beamed out, before coming back with Darryl and Sheila. "Jeez man what happened this time exactly guys?!" Darryl said, looking around the attic and she sighed. "The characters that jumped mom and me last night, kidnapped Wyatt and reversed the polarity."
"You know what we told you told that day, our alternate reality doubles, good is bad, bad is good in that reality?" Chris said and they nodded. "Never mind the memory just came back, but if this conversation is heading where I think, someone is in big trouble. It's okay baby, not your fault, you did the right thing." Sheila said and Darryl nodded. "Agreed, you just saved two marriages at once, once Andy and Prue reappear in our present." he said and the Wyatts nodded gently.
"As for sense of normality and I wasn't expecting that reaction now, but I meant it to the said Viking. It's not you hiding secrets from me, but if that was meant to harden me, you over did it. Because the said Elder, if he hurts you or worse, is going to get it, but disinformation, enemy's favorite tactic, don't fall for it again." Leo said and Chris swung his head at the memory. "Yeah, I'm a young soldier trapped in a never ending war, till I got the enemy showing up now."
"And on the doorstep dad, but in truth here, is Wyatt never knew I told you to plant the power return spell under that section of the floor, till I charged him. As I got that and reactivated my powers, grabbed the time travel spell and jumped back to now." he said and the quartet all nodded sternly. " Jeez man what more is there to say here, but you felt safe after coming back to now and with it right now at chance at normal life here, but change the present saves him."
"Meaning the only relief you can get from this war in the future is doing it now, pre-emp." Leo said and he nodded. "Pre-emptive strike Piper, they're killing the cause now, before it causes Wyatt to crash." Leo said and she nodded as he fell to his knees shaking in grief at the loss of his girlfriend, and the quartet. "Before I got the spell I was in a fight with Wyatt, 7 years dealing in the dark arts, he's Vader without the mask, he killed Grandpa and either killed or converted."
"In my cousins, the 4 of you are dead, Aunt Sheila and Uncle Darryl, Grandpa are dead, he missed Mellie, and aside from Mellie and Eric, I have nothing, no you to go back to." he said shaking in grief and they nodded as she hugged him and he buried his face into her neck. "I don't know how much more of it I can take, once it's over I can relax finally but until then. I miss you, I want you back, you and dad, I want you back, mom." he said and she nodded then.
"It's okay, it's okay, you convinced us, but to finish out, we need to see what happened on your end: Bianca." Paige said and he nodded. "There's alot on that you can't tell us, you suffered more then anyone should suffer in a lifetime, for doing the right thing. Alright that's enough of this shit right now, the us of the future are gone, but not us of the past, right now. From the us of the past to us of the present, we can stop this, it's going to be okay baby, going to be okay."
"The words of that alien scientist on Stargate SG-1, that's you?" Paige said and he nodded to her and their eyes narrowed in fury. "And now I'm pissed off, the only reason you're this bitchy, or neurotic, was because you're suffering PTSD right now. Trying to make sure nothing happens to us now, by not thinking on all cylinders here right now. We start younger then this, I got you taking those frustrations on whatever I created for you, cub." Leo said and he nodded to him.
"The truth is out, he's suffered hell in the future, to heal, he needs us, the younger versions of his version to us now." Piper said and he nodded to him. "It's us isn't it, Leo and me, we're your….." she said and he nodded. "Yeah it's you alright, that's why I came back, to keep from losing you before I reach adulthood, remember the Backstreet Boy song. That's how I feel about you, you mean the world to me." he said and she pressed her forehead to his gently then.
"Never see that coming Phoebe, she did say that it would take a calendar to go through this, as this was going to take months right now, so I gave them those months right now." he said and Leo smiled at the remark in realization. "You know that's just your problem, you never think you never not know what's best right now, for the family. Well I do, the reason I'm always around her and Leo, is because in a way, the son is trying to get his parents back together, fix this."
"The next born in a way put a strain on the marriage along with the job, so the first born does what they can to heal the damage now." he said and crossed his arms. "Talk about a bait and switch, being an empath is the same as being a mind reader, that's cheating right now. Bind his witch powers before what just happened did happen right now, he's safe for now. And we set up evil repelling wards in the house, so semi normal life." Leo said and Piper nodded in relief then.
"Greg, the Darklighters and the whatever: Dan and the Genie, the trolls and Alec." he said and she and Leo nodded as he went further. "Knowing the job was making things harder on you right now, Piper, they suggested in magical marriage counseling. Building it up, said year chosen was year 2, after Dan and Jack came into it." he said and she nodded smiling. "Year 2, the Elders chose year 2!" Piper said in amazement and he nodded gently to her and she smiled gently.
"While at the same time the oldest comes home to help the parents with the new baby, because the job is putting a strain on the marriage." Chris said in response then. "Though 20 you look 17 or 18, so college age, if you weren't from the future, where are you going for college?" She asked and he smiled. "U.C.L.A. actually, after hearing Leo got promoted to Elder, the job involved a detour to Valhalla, leaving you alone, and you need help, so adult cub comes home."
"I can do my degree over the computer, as I fill in for Leo till he gets back, and now you got us both." he said and Leo shook his head smiling. "Semi requisition orders and I spoke to the quintet already, that's Odin, Sandra, Zola, Orlin and Kalina. But they're the ones that agreed to let you get married, but under probation, before lifting it after Nattie now. They chose the year before, bring you back full circle, and you choose on your own again right now in truth."
"So you didn't break us up, instead, you're trying to heal the damage, the job and having Wyatt did to our marriage, and chose our second year. Uh huh, well that truth is fine, though you're dealing with the girls, you never leave me alone for long, and you're always with Wyatt. Surrogate family, or real, if that means more then you're telling us here now. Like Dave said, his powers bound, he's safe and semi normal life, okay, we get it." Piper said for herself and Leo.
"We're directly after I got infected by the fever and Leo saved my life, but lost his wings and became mortal!" she added and he nodded. "David's me, before Wyatt was born." Leo said, feeling his heart raise, now realizing what Chris had done right then. "Bingo, but ask yourself this question, what would have you done if you married right out of high school. Had me first and then, to protect me from being constantly started right now, binding my powers now."
"Till I was 9 or 10?" he asked and she nodded. "To protect you from the dangers the house is warded with evil repelling jinxes, inside we can be normal like always. But after Cole, it should have been more me and less we, and instead, the job was putting a tension here. On our marriage, followed by Piper immediately looking at Phoebe, not Paige, but Phoebe. Before you arrived, and set promotions I can set my own hours, home constantly!" Leo said in shock then.
"And my trying to be a mother and wife first, I never saw this coming, back to year 2 after Dan moved into the block." she said and he nodded. "You even remember what you were like when we and the Morris's get together, they normally never see you this playful. But Darryl knew you're praying Leo decides to never mind separation, time to fix things now. Before we have another Murphy and it nearly kills the girls." he asked and she froze up in shock at that news.
"I'm trying to get you back together by a repeat of year 2 here, remember year 2." He added and she nodded in shock to that news. "So instead of splitting us up, you bring us back to the beginning, what next exactly?" she asked and he ran his hand through his hair. "Dan and the damn genie, followed by Alec." he said and she smiled at the news. "In other words to save yourself, you had to do magical marriage counseling this way." her double said and he nodded.
"To save myself, us, I had to bring it back increments here, you two, Phoebe never knew the extension, I do and I decided back to the beginning for you, literally. Only Paige's love life got involved in this, I've been trying to keep Phoebe from butting in, by doing everything possible. To not only save Wyatt, but get you back together." he said, admitting it and they all nodded. "Yes, alright thank you for clarifying that, what about this?" she asked and he explained that.
"You mean his powers?" He asked and the couple nodded. "The dragon left a fatal case of, we don't bind his powers, that could happen again, after the Cleaners threatened to erase him. So binding his witch powers, leaving his shield and his orbing till he controls the first. After being mature enough to do so, if I was born first, you would do the same." he said and she nodded. "So though his witch is bound, his whitelighter aren't he can defend himself here right now."
"But you had to become a elder to make room for me as their whitelighter, but why, why are you always down here with me here now, when she needs you too?" he asked and he froze. "In truth, and unknowing or not, you're my mentor, so you been training me by staying down here. Sandra, Orlin, Odin, Kalina and Zola's doing." he said and his father's double smiled at the news. "I take it back, just do the rest of this year increments please." she said and he nodded gently.
"Alright whoever you are, if in hiding in here, and I know that tone as before Prue was killed, that was my don't mess with me tone." she said and Piper nodded. "Leo, Piper, there was two reasons here, bring you back to your earliest stage in your relationship as you do it again. And secondly, so by the promotion, your powers go into me and my powers offset Wyatt's. But added side effect by you being a whitelighter this long, Mellie is also like us." he said and they nodded.
"And you're the strongest of the 3 of you, or 4 if you're a twin?" she said and he nodded. "Yes, that's what my potion was, for the one Leo gave you was for you, so her powers. They don't destroy her relationship with you, my now, was so she never hacked my brain, and told you this. So what just almost happened does, and you can't trust me anymore at all, before I got to earn it back now and I'm sorry I lied, but information over load, so question here right now in truth."
"How much info do you need, before you call a halt to process what I said, as you see me not for being your new whitelighter, but your possible son. Said who is a teenager as we learn to get used to each other's quirks?" he asked and Paige nodded. "I get the point, and you're right, taking it slow is the best way to go." Leo said and Piper nodded in agreement. "Well that's why I blocked her out of my head, not to read my plan as she tries now here, to fix your relationship."
"By herself, but normal counseling is not enough, you have to go back to the beginning, only 3 years older and 3 years wiser." he said to her and they nodded sternly. "Well the truth is out now and now we know why you came, bring us back to year 2, to fix this. While at the same time going through demons and warlocks left and right, till we get the right one and blow them away." Leo's double said in relief and she nodded as Leo said his exact thoughts aloud gently.
"I'm sorry Piper, but in my eyes regarding you, this was going to be an information over load, I wasn't sure how you would take this, if I told you everything all at once. Because all I have left in my future are my sister and twin, future consequences, I interfere. And it's Back to the future part 1, I save Wyatt from turning evil, I have him, you guys and the duo to come back to. But for now, stuck here, with the younger versions of my family." he said and she nodded gently.
As the word shot into her, Leo and Paige. "How much can you process, before it becomes too much, since the counselor, and you need a separation to go over everything I said. And the possibility instead of surrogate, you could be my real family and the last few months…." he said and she nodded. "Reaching that piece, way too much right now, that the boy we started getting annoyed with here is really our….." she started to say, struggling to fight the consideration then.
"Okay truth spell, I gave you what you wanted: the truth now, time for the truth to come out, before you lay into her." he said and they nodded. "The spell breaks after 24 hours remember, so for us, that's the easy part, as everyone else will never remember we know their plans. For you, you now know who I am, I can move into the manor and we got another 16 months. And till the deadline, so you know who I really am, to you guys." he said and she nodded gently.
"Wait 9 months, when's your conception date?" She asked and he explained that. "January, borderline February, so directly after Halloween to the first week of November. First Christmas at 2 months old, baby me next Christmas." he said and they chuckled and nodded. "Okay then, we do this and that ends all the distrust, but you know that spell makes you say exactly. Now in what's on your mind here, so whatever Phoebe is thinking on you, just shut up here now."
"Because your father, Paige and I will let it go and forgive your reasoning." she said and Paige and Leo nodded in agreement then as she said it. "For those who want the truth revealed, Opened hearts and secrets unsealed, From now until it's now again, After which the memory ends. Those who now are in this house, Will hear the truth from other's mouths." Piper said and Leo said it gently. "Who are you really?" he asked him and he said it.
"My name is Chris Perry Halliwell/Wyatt, I'm your son, you're my parents, I came back to save our family, from evil destroying us now." he said and they nodded. "Aside from you and Wyatt, do we have more children?" she asked and he nodded. "My twin and our sister, Mellie, what your OB/GYN said, the genes are too strong, you get pregnant, despite the blows to the stomach. And Abdomen now." he said and she smiled in relief at the news as she saw it then finally then.
That the teenager standing in front of her was her youngest baby boy. "Why choose last spring, why not before he was born." Piper asked and he nodded. "That would have been better, as Leo and I convinced you to do it in the hospital, before, as you got me and Leo, dad. As I prepared to take up my place as your new whitelighter." he said and they nodded. "Why would you need to do that exactly, make me an elder?" Leo said and he explained that to him at the news.
"Your powers go into me, once conceived, Wyatt is normal, a normal Whitelighter, me, I'm thrice blessed: witch, whitelighter and elder." he said and they nodded. "And your mother and me?" he asked and Chris nodded. "The job and Wyatt's birth was putting a strain on your marriage, I came to help with Wyatt, while at the same time find our demon that helped turn him. But take you back to the last time you felt like this." he said and she smiled in relief at the news then.
"We're at stage 1, after your wings got clipped, before we enter stage 2." he said and he nodded gently. "Who told you not to tell us?" she asked and he said it. "Aunt Prue and Uncle Andy, Tyler, Darryl's son D.J., and of course Bianca." he said and they nodded as that finalized it for her. "And Valhalla?" Leo asked and he nodded. "I did it yeah, but you needed to be ready to confront the good side of the duo in league to kill Wyatt, your taking me there, my training there now."
"My training started now, you were turning me into a soldier ready to fight the demons by enchanted swords. But said unsaid remark, because of Cole, I'm always on DEFCON 3, thanks to the brotherhood and now the Order, I can get Wyatt back. But D.A.D., mom distracts them I jump the leader from behind and we knock the scepter out of his hand. He gets destroyed by his own fireball, but we win again." he said to him and they nodded gently as he hugged him tightly.
And he closed his eyes in relief, he didn't have to hide anymore. 'New start, fresh start, I can be cub me again with my parents, I did it, I did it, they're almost there. A few more weeks and they're back together, I'm saved, Wyatt is saved after this, I did it. But neurotic little freak, well screw you Phoebe.' she heard and paled at that, realizing he knew exactly the rant she was thinking, as he let him go, as he saw him for who he was now.
As Piper moved to him and hugged him tightly and he closed his eyes in relief then. "It was never me, it was always Phoebe now for never minding her own business, guys listen to me. Remember what you said, after said green blob, chance at a normal life right now, she wants a full time break from demonhunting, what if this happened directly after Richard met Paige. Who you going to blame for putting Wyatt at risk, I'm looking for the right demon to get rid of him."
"But it was a good/duo that traumatized him enough to crash, before he did after Cole and his contingent killed you, Piper. I was that reason, this duo stabbed me in the stomach with a poisoned Athame." he said and they nodded slowly in anger, realizing said words spoken in near violated trust nearly cost them a boy they were not ready to let go of. "Words spoken in hate, leaves you regretting it for the rest of your life, her double prevented those words now."
"Though the half truths were annoying us, we love you." Paige said and he nodded. "I love you guys, you mean everything to me, everything, you never knew the dangers of the house. Born in the house you're likely to go either way if there is something screwing with your morality. But Piper and Leo do, as do, did, Prue and Andy, and Darryl got a taste of it 5 years go. After Jake came into the basement and started a fight with him." he said and that did it for the couple.
"Alright I get the point, I just, after Leo's promotion, forgot all about that right now, I knew yes, but born outside of the house, in the hospital, your powers take 18 months. In the house they speed up to the point you get them right from the womb, again. I forgive you, just reveal each one when we get to it right now, no more lies, if you're mine. Then you move into the manor and we're a single family after we get your brother back." she said and he nodded in relief then.
"Piper remember what you looked like as a teenage of near 19, and turn yourself into a boy, who do you see, my personality is who exactly?" he asked and she closed her eyes and as she heard his quips and change his voice into a woman. As she heard her voice saying everything he said and smiled as he pressed his forehead to her's and she closed her eyes smiling then. Before Leo moved to him and he hugged him tightly as he looked into his eyes, before they heard a shout.
"That's what this is, not what I thought it was?!" Phoebe said shaking in fear and Chris nodded as he crossed his arms. "Never see that coming either Phoebe, that Prue and Andy told me not to say anything, and only mom and dad's past selves coming here prevent it. In truth, dad never being around after I'm born, because dad is too far gone in grief here. After my counterpart got stabbed in the stomach and poisoned?" he asked and she started shaking in fear at that news.
"They can forgive me easily, but will they forgive you for your attitude?" he asked and she went white in fear at that. "Leo was going away on business, but said business was involving a trip to Valhalla, to be trained to be a viking now." he said and she swallowed hard. "Normal terming, I'm borderline 19 years old, in my first of 8 years of college, Piper just had Wyatt. His job is giving them no end to fights, till said promotion and he leaves, I come home to handle this."
"Unknowing or not, I gave him a magical booster to get through the island security." he said and they nodded in amazement. "The last 4 months was settling in back at home, and you ticked me off in leaving me holding the bag, in babysitting here." he said and they both went white. "Your responsibilities are not my job, I was here to protect Wyatt, but babysitting and doing it. Said it your temp job, followed by reversing what you did to Piper, I can't do this on my own, damn it."
"You shirked your responsibilities to get Leo back and he's so pissed it's said fight in the cage, you think he won't kill you vocally here for that information. You left me holding the bag, so you can joyride around with your new power!" he snapped and she started shaking. "They what?!" Leo snapped in shocked fury and he nodded. "After she tried to get you, she left me holding the bag, when she was supposed to be babysitting for Wyatt, D.J. and their friend, Piper, Leo."
"After knocking his stuffed giraffe across the room, he lifted his shield to protect them in response." he said and Piper hid a laugh. "Kwis mad." Darryl's son said and he nodded with a chuckle. "Yeah me mad, at being left to watch you 3, with no adult with me." he said in response and Sheila tried to keep from laughing. "Not that I blame you for that, you should have done that in the basement, before you broke something by accident." Darryl said and she nodded.
"Okay, but at least that little reaction never went into your powers." Sheila said and Chris nodded in agreement. "And to repeat this, if anyone needs protecting, it's me from you, said you, these mutts right now, little brother. Sorry guys, angry at Aunts Paige and Phoebe, for leave me watching over mommy here and doing Auntie Paige's job for her. Daddy's coming home tonight, but slumber party at Uncle Darryl's." he said and they chuckled and nodded then.
"Nice wording Darryl's my best guy friend, so hearing I need a babysitter that night, before Leo gets back, Sheila's doing it in a heartbeat." Piper said and he nodded. "He's not going to take it well your I.D. ran amok as a valkyrie and the only way to get you back. Is by them just leaving me holding the bag with three babies and all of them under 7 months old. And at the same time, she's a dogwalker and I have to undo what she just did to you." he said and they nodded gently.
"And as for said reaction with the shield after you knocked said stuffed animal across the room like that, I'll take that to mean, 'until you calm down, shield stays up, Chris.'." Leo said bemused to that news and past conversation with his youngest and she nodded in agreement. "Not that I blame either of you for that response, but where is your brain you two, he can handle one. Two tops, but the more and he needs back up." she added sternly and Phoebe swallowed hard then.
"I remember what you said, you're going to need a calendar for the level of trouble the last 3 years as this will take months, so I gave you those months by this decision." he said to her gently and she nodded. "If that's not magical cub intervention and nothing is, as I never would have thought to do this with mom and dad." she said and he smiled at compliment. "You chose to bring us back to the beginning, Greg coming into the picture, he's a Dan substitute now."
"And we go from there, nice thinking kid." Leo's double said and she nodded and as their past selves sighed in relief. "Like she said, this was going to take months, the only way to fit said time span was bring them back to year 2, I'm 9 years after that time, 2022, I'm 18. So consensus, you ended up in your future bodies Leo said it directly, they had an agreement. No magic for Melinda's, or my and Wyatt's sake." he said and she went white in shock at that news.
