Chapter 33: Final Subterfuge Decisions And Shopping
"Thanks dad, alright, so I just get my job back at Bucklands, Prue has working for 451 and Andy just came out of his coma and he's back home where he belongs. Though how Jack is going to take this is anyone's guess." she said to him as she looked at Chris and ran her hand through his hair and smiled. "Whatever it takes now, I'm not losing you, cub, I've already had the life scared out of me once too often with you."
"You get hurt and the character that did it is getting blasted right to hell." she said and he gave her a hug at that. "You better go with your original look when our powers activated Aunt Penny, so Aunt Prue with long hair, you with hair at your neck and we can tell you apart that way." he said and she chuckled as Victor looked at her. "Alright let me take a guess, like Prue, you also have telekinesis?" he asked and she nodded to him.
"Yeah dad, but combined together, we pack enough of a punch to send the character flying a good two blocks over. Chris has our abilities in whitelighter form. With you home again life goes back to the way it used to be before the divorce at the time." she said and he smiled. "Not divorce Penny, your mother and I are still together, but the added side effect is I had a slight problem with Sam when he got her pregnant with your sister."
"But your mother and I fixed our differences and we've decided on getting back together now that I'm back in town again." he told her and they grinned as they gave him a hug then. "Well the family is back in one piece again now, though once Jack hears that truth he's going to get a shock when he meets Andy later." she said and just as he was answering the doorbell went off and Chris went to check then to find her boyfriend.
As Jack Sheridan was standing on the doorstep. "Hey Uncle Jack come on in." he said and lead him into the room. "Hey guys guess who just showed up." he said and Penny walked over to him as he gave her a hug. "Hey baby, guys, so what's going on exactly?" he asked and looked at Andy and nodded. "Alright let me take a guess you're Prue's fiancé, right?" he asked and Andy nodded as he moved to him and shook his hand then.
"Yeah I am, my name is Andy Trudeau and nice to meet you Jack, but this is my father-in-law Victor Bennett. He just got reunited with the family a few weeks before they got married and this is Drake De'mon, he's a new friend of the family." he said and Jack nodded to him as he crossed his arms. "Alright what happened this time, if she's looking like she got her wings clipped right now exactly?" he asked and they sighed as he said it.
"Her boyfriend Cole Turner just had a relapse and supposedly killed our latest innocent, as if that's not enough he knocked Leo and Chris unconscious. And the girls threw him him out of the house, at the moment she's ticked that Chris is the one to save his parents relationship. What with the fact that she's about to get pregnant again just before his sophomore year starts at the moment." he said and Jack nodded to him.
"Damn it, alright again Phoebe, our love lives are none of your business, if this was why that Cupid jumped you. And when we were at the coffee shop that night after the movie ended at the time, it's clear you're jealous we have what you want. But the world doesn't revolve around you, the rest of us want a chance at finding love and living a normal life as well." Penny said to her sternly at that as Chris looked at her gently at that.
"And again the only one who had a right to deal with our separation and love life, it was Chris, and him only, Phoebe, sure you're getting ready to find a job. And join the columns on dating and advice, but just because you help your admirers. Doesn't mean you should be butting into our love lives and relationships at the moment. Sure we tell you a bit about our personal lives, but that doesn't mean you should go butting in."
"And when we already said to mind your own business and but out, so starting now once Paige comes into the picture. Leave the big sister stuff to us, and I mean it right now at the moment, Prue is the closest thing to a mother she's going to have. With her adoptive parents dead and Sam not returning the call outs, because like Leo and me, he also gave up his wings to stay with mom." Piper said to her sternly and Chris looked at her then.
"So what was the reason for everyone's attitude when you three were in high school, before she graduated?" He asked and she sighed. "She, to everyone else's thoughts, was constantly flirting with other people's boyfriends to the point they nicknamed her Freebie. So though she becomes the top advice columnist in the entire town and beyond well known, to her graduating class she's stuck as that as a result at the moment."
"Though if Rick is still on the lam for whatever he did this time, I'm not surprised if he ended up in jail by the time little you is born. Because he's already on the downward slide and if he kept it up, it's death by the electric chair or just lethal injection. Which was why grams was getting aggravated when the cops were bringing Phoebe home every other week." Prue said to him and he nodded as he went to the next question then.
"In retrospect, I think a magical version to the lethal injection could be needed and we tell the cops that, if he had kidnapped the fourth member of their gang. That to save her, we had to do it ourselves in the same way we did Williamson. That he died by his own hand and the rotary saw he threw at you bounced off the wall and hit him. In Gittridge's case, it's he was killed by a couple of bounty hunters." Chris said and they nodded.
"Let me take a guess, Scabber, or since you got it wrong, snatcher demons?" Victor said and he nodded to him. "Yeah, how did you know?" he asked and he sighed. "Your grandmother killed several when she and I were dating at one point, but their venom is like sulfuric acid. And for a human it's like he ended up vat molten hot metal or lava, it kills instantly. As for this character that kept getting in trouble, your grandmother mentioned a 24 hour window and with that."
"For your aunt, she changed after her powers came online, but this 24 hour window of opportunity in the life of new witch. It meant she had to choose which way to go, so she could use her powers for good, or use them for evil, but the Source never plays fair and could tempt her. But she does and it turns her into a warlock, which explains P. Russell, she allowed her lust to take control and turned into a warlock as a result."
"Before you ask girls, your mother told me plenty, which was why I was worried when you and Piper were kindergartners. Seeing you now, I know you chose to be just like your great aunt and great grandmother, Prue, so though I know a bit. Try to keep it from getting too technical." he said and they nodded. "At the moment I hope Rick doesn't come back into the picture or you're seeing her as a teenager." Prue said to him gently.
"Who's Rick exactly?" Victor asked slowly and she sighed. "He's the classic rebel without a cause, if this was The Outsiders, he's Dallas Winston and she's Cherry. He's the got that aura of the leader and she and her friends went with any idea he came up with. That's now the reason I wished you hadn't left after Sam, dad, because if you'd been here, you could have controlled that side of her." Piper told him and he nodded firmly.
"Too late dad, Mom already gave the remark, but this was why Grams wanted to leave her powers bound in high school, just imagine Phoebe having her powers. When in high school or her being turned back into a teenager, her casting a spell to turn her entire class back into one." Prue added and he nodded in annoyance then. "And there's the reason paternal abandonment is so dangerous if you were normal, but doubly if you're a witch." he said and the girls nodded.
"So I guess if he continues with that downward slide at the moment, he's becoming a criminal, but too late, the chief said he got arrested, drug dealer or a serial killer. Though that happens I don't think we got a choice right now, because if Chris is running raids into the underworld. He's going to be followed by whatever character it is and if it means saving an innocent, or her former gang member, we have to." Andy said to her and she nodded in agreement to that.
"Who was in her gang exactly, if you're saying that?" Jack asked and they sighed. "Todd Marks, Rick Gittridge and Romona something, I can't remember her last name." he said and Chris grabbed the book as he said it. "Alright in line of their gang, it was her, Todd, Rick, Romona, Romona..., yeah okay I found her, her last name was Shaw. And she's possibly not married yet either, so white pages." he said and it appeared on the table.
As he flipped to the 'S's and then grabbed a highlighter and ran it across a name. "Yeah I was right, she's not married she's still a Shaw." he said and Andy nodded as he went on. "Rick had the tendency to cross lines and the more grams tried to control her, and the more rebellious, she got, but this isn't high school anymore, we're adults. And we have two teenagers in this house, and constant babysitting duty for my partner at times."
"Though what I will say right now is with Chris being top priority for the next 20 months until Wyatt is born, it's never mind screwing around, we have work to do here. Alright, alright, with my being the cop in the family, we're not having a loaded gun in this house, and secondly. Darryl once the job starts getting dangerous you better leave it to me after that I can't be killed now, and before you ask Jack, to be saved I had to change slightly."
"With you seeing Chris orb in front of you, you better check this out." he said and orbed right in front of him and Jack nodded. "Uh huh, okay so you're like Chris and Leo, got it, so this means that the baby is going to be just like Chris. Once he's old enough to master his powers, right, that's what marrying a angel. Or whatever you call yourself does, mix the two together and you get Chris and your sister-in-law."
"Alright got it, it doesn't matter Dan couldn't take this whatsoever after he learned the truth last year girls, kiddo, but me, I don't mind. Though I don't doubt Paige's friend is going to be like me when he finds out that you're witches and he's not going to care anymore then I do right now, though with that in mid right now. I better get used to that later, though Cole crosses the line, and I'm really going to be ticked later."
"But the surprises just keep coming, don't they with what I learned about your family the last two years, but this is ridiculous." he said and Piper chuckled. "You think it's bad now, just wait Jack, because things just keep getting stranger as time goes on with our history." Prue said to him, smiling slightly at that. "Aside from that, if it's not one thing causing trouble, we got another, and with that in mind now the last year, Aunt Prue."
"Didn't you say that it wasn't very responsible to fall in love with a demon that had been killing people for 600 years. And the resident good one in the room had denied his demonic background and wanted to be human and have a human soul. So in your eyes, who's the better match her, Aunt Prue, Aunt Penny?" he asked and she explained that as she and Jack crossed their arms as they exchanged looks with Prue, Andy, Leo and Piper.
"It's Drake, he's everything I want for her at the moment, Prue took mom's side in being the responsible one. In mine, I took Grams and she's who I grew into now and with that, both of us together. It's between the duo, Drake is the better match and I know he's imprinted on her as well, he'd do anything, be anything for her. And if she falls in love with another Cupid, he's her best friend after that, but either way you did a good deed."
"Match making and taking care of us and your parents, you're my golden child and favorite nephew, you could do no wrong in my eyes. Everything you done for us so far, it's clear, we needed help, leading up to now. Prue said everything I'm thinking, we and Piper, we're the ones bringing in the money and her tuition was taking it back out. We needed that reimbursement for months since school started and now that we have it."
"We can pay off her college fees, pay off the house, and run improvements on it and we have more then enough to pay for everything we need, leading into your brother's birthday now." she said to him. "Then I guess your thoughts are on the same course their's are?" he asked she and Jack nodded. "Yeah it is, with meeting my brothers in law, I agree with everything they said." Jack said to him as Prue gave him a hug then smiling.
"Jack could you give the guys a hand, we're doing doing some work on the house, so could you, Drake, Andy and Darryl head for the sports store. We're turning the basement into a training studio for martial arts so Chris has a place to train and so we can spar." Prue asked and he nodded. "Yeah sure thing Prue, what are you guys doing if it's a family get together tonight exactly?" he asked and she smiled as she answered him.
"We've got some shopping to do what with the fact it's going to be a long day, so we have to make two stops, Penny, you want to come with us or go with the guys?" she asked and she smiled. "Jack we got some work to do and then tonight we can go out okay." she said and he nodded smiling to her then. Looking at Chris then, Prue smiled as she said it. "You're my pride my pride and joy baby, I'm very proud of you, Chris."
"So thrice blessed, witch/whitelighter/elder, that's you and like your mother and me born at the hospital it took a year for you powers to make an appearance. But that's okay, don't let your envy that he had whatever powers from the womb, because in our. Your parents, me and Andy, Darryl and your grandfather, in our eyes your first born, our baby boy, you were here first and you matter more now, we had you for 18 to 20 months."
"Though now that I watched you grow up, and I couldn't be more proud of you then I am right now. It doesn't matter what she says you did the right thing at the time, you're the most single source of good in the teenage population. You're going on 15, but to me you'll always be my baby nephew. At this age now like you were able to balance it out, you're going to be spending the next 8 years like any normal teenager to young adult."
"And after Grams passed you chose the same thing I did and we were happy we didn't have our powers until Phoebe activated them. So let's see what that image looked like as you're 12 years old, your mother was getting back from the downtown market and we were preparing for her to get her latest job. Just before Phoebe came home now and things change course as your powers activated at the same time ours did now."
"You've helped out more then you realize so to us you're the golden child, you can do no wrong in my and your mother's eyes. And I'm glad you followed in our footsteps baby, I'm very proud of you." she said and he nodded as he gave her a hug and she tightened her arms around him. "I missed you both so much, I'm not letting you go, I'm doing what needs to be done, Wyatt was the catalyst, to cause damage in your future."
"To keep you happy, I did what Perry didn't have the chance to do, but I did what was needed to be done, for you. You remember the backstreet boys song, don't want you back, well that's the reverse now, for her and I'm doing what it takes to keep our family together, I'm first born. It's my job to keep to the family together and I'm going to do that, because I have you guys and Paige now." he said and she nodded to him, smiling.
"Maybe, but you don't have to carry the burden all by yourself now, baby, you gave us back everything we wanted and a chance to really come into our own. And with that, as the oldest of the family it's time to pass on our legacy now, with you being the first born of the family. But we're the ones dealing with the hard parts, then between now and when you and Wyatt are old enough to take over from there we're training you."
"But was I right, was I your favorite aunt, if I'd been alive in your future, next to Paige?" she asked and he nodded. "Yeah you were, I took your and mom's aspect in everything, normal life, a serious hatred of demons, and when it came to mom and Phoebe. You worried, but worried from afar, which is what the severe annoyance in Paige's case was, as she wouldn't but out of her business at the time, in truth you were the one I idolized."
"You may have been a whitelighter, but I turned to you and Andy after dad was killed and you took over the last eight months before I chose this choice. But you read it right when she read out the incantation, it activated my powers at the time it activated yours. And you get the shock of your lives when you see me orb right out of the living room in the middle an argument with dad after he comes home and she tell him the truth."
"But with that in mind, I never wanted to be a witch anymore then you do, but I had to learn to adapt and you started training me after that. But the three years were in line and Dan doesn't remember mom had a son, because I was always at school. When he dropped by the house, or when we had that party and Phoebe got hit with that premonition regarding her past life at the time." he said and they nodded firmly then.
"I married a whitelighter and your powers start going berserk every time you lose your temper, baby. Well we got to get that under control, because I forgot the added side effects when you were 16 months to 3 years old. And evidently grams kept hiding your sudden apparition areas by grabbing the cookies out of the air, before I could see said cookie floating in mid air and start asking questions." Piper said to him and he nodded.
"Yeah well at the moment here it's the added act of trying to get my homework done and I'm constantly getting involved. At the time here, because I have to be the one to help clean up the messes that Phoebe causes. And case in point now after that spell last Valentines day that trashed the club. I have to be the one to clean up the room at the time, but like you I was getting fed up at the time here, to repeat your remark mom."
"Does anyone else get tired of cleaning up after these guys, when they make a house call. Then again when a demon makes a house call my curiosity gets peaked, case in point is the demon of illusion. After he trashed the table in the foyer, and for the third time in 3 years?" he said with a bemused look and they nodded in agreement. "Yeah no kidding at the moment, well I can see you're thinking enough like me to deal with this."
"But then I'm not surprised you got my personality when it comes to the job honey, because of the four of us. You, your father and I have a single job right now when it comes to family financing. And it's the club, your aunts are a photographer, curator, advice columnist and social services consultant and of the five of us. Only Prue and I have the most flexible hours." Piper said and Andy nodded in agreement to that.
"Before you say it guys, I checked that suitcase he brought back, and it's carrying 1/5 of a billion dollars in it." Victor said interrupting the conversation as he walked back into the room. "1/5, are you telling me we have $200,000,000 in a suitcase along with another billion piled away in the trunk in the attic?!" Leo said in shock and he nodded. "Yeah son, so that's more then enough to pay for what we need to either replace things."
"Do renovations and we can claim this on our homeowners insurance policy right now, so what gets destroyed by repeated demon attacks. And we can use that spell you showed me upstairs and the other, pay for things out of our alibi. And case in point is what the aftermath to what caused the fracture in your friendship at the time boys." he said and they nodded as Andy said it for the trio with a bemused look on his face then.
"Yeah and that's the understatement of the century right now at the moment, we get enough calls up here as it is. And without it getting the attention of the entire block, though that vanquishes the entire house it's going to be tough to explain. At your age, son, you should be enjoying being a teenager, you got enough responsibilities as it is. And we just added another one to the list, before your father came back into it now."
"Said it is you had your powers activate along with your mother and aunts, with the fact I'm constantly here at the house, because your aunt and I were engaged. Then it's enough I'm taking things even more seriously right now at the moment, you're just entering high school. And you're about to go through the tough part of these things as we got a long five years ahead of us, but like your parents and aunt, you're my priority."
"While I'm the one dealing with repeated explosions and I have to check on you every time that happened. Great, I get knocked into a coma when Rodriguez tried to kill you and Darryl shot the guy for that. But I'm in a coma, your mother is dealing with added problems, your aunt is scared she's going to lose me. And as a result of breaking rules they don't realize you're the one who had to go underground to save yourself."
"After Dan gives up regarding your mother, you and Leo patches up your relationship, you're now dealing with your life in the 7th grade and Cole comes into the picture. While you spend two weeks, wondering whether you're going to see Leo again or not. Till your mother decides that herself, they send Leo back and your family is back in one piece. And the trouble just gets worse over Belthazor until the wedding at the time."
"And leading into now, that catches up to things and here we stand now." Andy said, finishing her sentence and Leo nodded in agreement. "Alright what am I looking at right now with you just entering high school right now at the moment. What with the fact you're living like a normal teenager in our present, son?" Victor asked him and he explained that to him as he looked between the quintet then as he said it.
"The usual, but with the fact I'm at the age now where I'm going through getting my drivers test done and my scholarship is a high priority right now. To you guys, I'm the best quarterback and sprint runner on the teams at the middle school. But with frequent interruptions lately, you're getting worried I'm ever going to get my full ride into college." he said and Leo crossed his arms as he answered him at that with a paternal growl.
"They cause you to lose your shot and I'm the one blasting them, because you're going to college in San Fransisco son, we need you here at home anyway. Though at the moment it's the academic scholarship that I'm more worried about in your case. There's more money in your SAT scores then athletics." he said and and Piper nodded in agreement as Chris chuckled as he answered him smiling as he said it then.
"I'm pre-med actually dad, I was planning on getting into medical school here in San Fransisco as well anyway. But in order to do that, I need my full ride into college for that. But SAT's, my score went through the roof so highly in my life few tests these last 3 years that combined together. Both are my ticket to any college in the country, but I'm staying close to home and living at." he said to him and she smiled at that remark.
"Nice to know you took after both of us, because your cooking skills today were enough to tell me that, but your both sides of your father and me, he's a paramedic and I'm a chef. Well, with your 17th birthday comes the added act of being a big brother, and frankly with my being pregnant, I need help anyway." she said and Chris nodded. "Don't worry, at the moment once I get my chosen selection in colleges at the moment."
"And in regarding Wyatt at the moment, instead of the bottle based baby food we can make it from scratch now for him for the first ten months. And as he grows into his 1 year old body, but that's what you did for me as I got older. You created my foods from scratch and with it, on occasion in the juices, it's making sure we water it down and half a cookie if he wants one here." he said and she smiled as he went further then at that.
"You have me to help you out during your pregnancy, but once you enter into that, it's enough of the vanquishing during your second trimester, mom. You need to take it easy once you enter stage two of that pregnancy and Aunt Prue was right, though we do this in a home birth. You're getting yourself checked out every few weeks at the hospital, prior to it, alright." he said and she nodded to him as he looked at her gently smiling.
"Being the big brother this easily, it wouldn't take long, because the first seven months I know you need help after he's born. But if dad's busy with something and you need me to get doing a grocery shopping run, just write up the list. And I can go get the groceries you need to make dinner and breakfast on the weekends, with my doing my homework, as I'm a junior in high school by then." he said and she nodded to him then, smiling.
"If we had added help with your aunts involved in this, it's only during the first 3 months I'm getting involved in our job, but after that. Prue you take over after that, you're the head of the family, I have to focus on not over doing it. We have the money needed now and with it now, is instead of replacing everything that needs replacing. We have the scenery altering spell." she said and Prue nodded nodded to that remark gently.
"I'm choosing San Francisco anyway mom, at that stage once her empathic abilities break down the front door you need me to babysit for Wyatt and take care of him. But we have to get the damn empathic potion or it's going to drive everyone in the house crazy. Fortunately it's during summer break as well, so I can get the potion created and that solves the added trouble later at the moment here, though this gets any worse."
"With the fact that like you and Aunt Prue, you worried from afar and she's butting in when Paige said to stay out of it later. As if that's not enough with four sisters, Prue is the one dealing with, Phoebe, Richard and Paige. And while you, dad and I are dealing with Wyatt and his constant conjuring acts later and my finishing school to." he said and they sighed at that as Prue answered him gently in that statement then.
"Well one good thing student loans are no longer a problem, because we can pay the entire thing back in advance later. But student loans, renovations on the manor, utilities and food, a year that's going to come $1,000,000 for 2 years later. But with the resistance just adding to the amount we use that solves that problem entirely." she said and he nodded as she went further then as she said it to him gently.
"Who's best on babysitting duty when you're just getting your brother down for the night and starting your homework honey?" she asked and he sighed. "My double yanked mom out of her date after we ended up in the middle of a family feud. In between the Montanas and the Callaways, after Phoebe ignored Paige's request to stay out of it. And she found her across the street, looking through the office window of the Callaways."
"And the fight got dragged back to the manor, and was getting loud enough to get dad downstairs after mom ended the argument. But in total honesty, I don't need this right now after I just got my brother to sleep and I'm trying to get my work done. And as you're the matriarch of the family, that's you guys, Aunt Prue, Uncle Andy." he said and Prue crossed her arms as Andy said it for her sternly as he looked at Phoebe then.
"Who are these guys exactly?" he asked and he explained that. "Richard's last name was Montana, but his brother killed his fiancé Olivia Callaway. And in retaliation she killed his father, just as Phoebe ended up in his office, in Callaway's office, which is in direct line of sight of the Montana's house and his, her father's, office window. And Paige caught her from Richard's dad's office window and that did it." he said and the quartet nodded.
"Take the first four letters off Montana and the first two off of Callaway and then turn it into Shakespeare, who do you have exactly mom, dad, Aunt Prue?" he added and Andy covered his eyes as he answered him. "Romeo and Juliet, and I'm playing the prince and palace guards in trying to break up the family feud. It's a magical version of every gang war we read about in school: Westside Story, Romeo and Julie, The Outsiders."
"I take this as they live across the street from each other or is it they live next door to each other?" Andy asked as he crossed his arms. "No, they live across the street from each other, Phoebe did a sister to sister meeting spell. And ended up at the Callaways house, just as the plasma was thrown through the office window and Paige and Richard went to check and she saw her looking through the window." he said and they nodded.
"Uh huh, alright so despite the fact she said stay out of this, to the entire family she could handle this on her own. Because she was feeling slightly suppressed as it's always us, us, us, she's wants to be seen as me now. She's found someone who's just like her, another witch, but he's suffering the added effects of the outsider argument. Or the Westside story crap at the moment, Phoebe ignores her request, and like always."
"Thinks she's knows best and buts in, just as the latest firefight breaks the window and Paige catches her in the office of her love interest's father. Looking back at her from his fiancé' house, and that does it finally as Perry is trying to protect their relationship. And keep it from falling apart, he goes to drastic measures to put an end to this. By having an empathy blocking potion created and he's going digging for the missing ingredient."
"Needed for said potion to be made at the time, till Leo calls him to the house during the search as Perry is looking for that final ingredient to the potion. And Leo sends him to go get Piper, because they were short handed that night. I take it Perry got it not just for the trio, but to prevent that truth from coming out too soon right now?" Penny asked and he nodded as he went further in that remark as he said it with a sigh.
"Yeah it was to prevent Phoebe from realizing who he was and dropping the bomb on the trio, that he's really a Halliwell and he's the adult version of me. But third party problems resulted in the feud is getting worse, till finally. Mom decides it's not actively getting involved in this and her business, and she's giving her a bit of ammunition to use. Look, Perry and I don't need that potion now in our cases, because you already know now."
"All its needed for now is blocking your emotions out of her head, to protect your relationship. But as the older sisters, you and mom have to be the ones to control this right now, before she and Paige kill each other for her butting into Paige's personal life. To end this it was by mom doing the job, by assisting now, but the fight, between the duo was bad enough, if this was happening if you guys were still here at the time."
"That you, dad, mom, Perry and I had to intervene, and before they kill each other, as the fight lands itself in the foyer, and getting louder every second till it drags dad out of Wyatt's bedroom. Me from getting my homework done, if I was second born when mom had Wyatt while Perry was doing my search of that potion ingredient for me. And us downstairs and mom breaks it up as Perry takes over." he said and they nodded to him.
"Perry's an adult and he's in college, he's got the time you don't have with you still a minor right now. Like your mother, I'd say that to control this right now, it's by respecting her wishes, and secondly giving her another option. But though we worry, we can worry from afar at the moment, it's not our business until Paige deems it to be. But with your adult version here that solves any and all problems now at the moment."
"Because your mom and I would say that until you, the next generation, are out of high school to hold off on the vanquishing. You can assist us by doing these duties for us, like the empath blocking potion, if we need you to get supplies for a potion go round them up. Your brother needs a babysitter, and so on, but that's what helps even more without it putting you at risk of flunking right out school, as we saw that this year with Phoebe."
"And with that, with you in your junior year of high school, it's not you I'm sending to get that potion. And when you're babysitting for your brother, so if this was me and your mother, I'd tell Perry to find that ingredient and get that potion made. And once your parents walked in the door just as the fight was getting loud enough now. To wake up your brother and getting you out of finishing your homework, that we ended it then."
"Just as Perry walks back into the house and he's looking like he gotten into a game of football with there being mud all over his t-shirt at the time. As he calls a cease fire in this and ends the debate right now..., I don't believe this, alright that's the final catch. Perry's a full whitelighter now, you start school in September and you need to focus on your scholarship and grades, alright Perry!" Prue called out and he orbed into the room.
"Whats up Aunt Prue?" he asked and she sighed. "You mind about sticking around, little you is a minor right now, but you're an adult. We could use your help, you being a college student, you're 22, but with us being slightly short handed. This could be very helpful, and we just add a bedroom to the house for you and it's instead of one teenage to young adult son and nephew, we have two of you, but this year is your last year."
"In high school, by that I mean next school year, you're an adult and you can get the job done more easily. But whoever our perp is doesn't realized that this you, is from the original timeline where your parents never knew until Phoebe busted you, before Paige did the the same. But in ours, we all know who you are and there's no longer any secrets as you got a better chance to pull it off now." she said and he smiled at that gently.
"I wish I had chosen this past week like he had, but trying to stay focused and dealing with things. The mistrust was hard, I did several things to try and help you out, but no matter what I did, leading into Phoebe busting me. You guys never trusted me, I just wanted a second chance to be with you, mom." he said and they nodded. "Well you get that second chance now, a week later now that we busted little you on your arrival."
"Whatever you suggest we'll take, we trust you without reservation and now that we got evidence to your claims. In regarding things now, and with whatever idea you also have planned next, to help out right now at the moment here. The warnings from the future are being taken seriously, there's no need to hide things from us. Just reveal the sequence in year six and we go from there, Perry, okay." She said and he nodded to her.
"She's right Perry, in ours, we know the truth in who you are, who you belong to in parentage and you don't have to hide those secrets now, like I said. So until you feel we're ready, your secrets are your own, but everything leading up to you arriving in our present. We have the DVD's regarding it, but seasons 5 through 8, that's your future later on, we make alterations and your chances of saving Wyatt are much higher."
"But you're right, Leo needs to become an elder to make room for you now, you're thrice blessed. So what works better now that the cliffhanger when it's three months after Leo becomes a elder gets jumped and we go to the cleaners next after that?" she asked and he explained that as he looked at her. "With the fact you now know who I am this early, for your sake and Chris's, it's best I run the magical errands for you in this."
"Chris has the normal ones, grocery shopping in case we need to get things settled for dinner that night. You and dad want a night out, Chris has baby sitting duty with Wyatt while I go find and track down that missing ingredient and get the potion created. The trio of blonds that try to masquerade as you not a problem, I'd know that wasn't you as I'm doing year six in your guys's case all over again at the moment right now."
"As for David, that's not happening this time, your marriage is a total lock now, though the order, that I suggested you bind his powers, right then. Because that's just the first indication and you read the message right, they reversed his morality so good was bad and bad was good. Mom you really mean that, if your future version of yourself had bothered to do what Andy did and name it off, I wouldn't be so lonely at the time."
"Seeing you and Aunt Prue, dad and Uncle Andy, I like it better this way, you know who I am, you'd do things in a different way to what my version of you would do. And together we: Chris and I, dad and Uncle Andy have the routine running so smoothly for the five of you there's less chance of trouble. Because this me knows the exact outcome and I been through this already to know what needs to be done." he said and she nodded gently.
"But either way, this me is the 22 year old version you're seeing taking up in the whitelighter position. Chris and I share the job now for you now, but regarding Paige with dad out of the picture later you have Uncle Andy for that with situation now. Once I, finished with high school, I'm doing my classes over the computer and I have more time that way to help out." he said and she nodded as she answered him gently then.
"Because 1) you have Prue and me taking it much more seriously, as we already saw it with Phoebe. 2) when you have to deal with a vanquish or some other errand you need to run in this mission. Little you is helping me with cooking or running errands and 3) the empath blocking spell is going to be needed anyway. Once her powers break down the front door later, so by all means, get it for us." Piper said and he chuckled and nodded.
"Sure thing Aunt Prue, mom, dad, I can stay, though in your case, mom it's the added act of we have enough people orbing in and out of this house. And after we add Aunt Paige to the household, we don't need another one right now." he said and they chuckled. "Yeah that's an understatement right now baby, you certainly know me better then you think as a result, quick question at the moment here though."
"Why would you need to bind his powers at this age?" she asked and he sighed as he gestured for the girls to sit down as Jack was sitting on the edge of the arm of the chair Penny was sitting in. "It's because he had the tendency to start orbing things out of the tv or conjuring them. And case in point was he orbed a dragon right out of the tv and it started wrecking havoc in the town, including outside the tunnel as well."
"This was the first six to seven months I was here and at one point he was causing your dates to panic. The second they saw his eyes giving that same orbing look we take when we orb right out of the room. Another was his playing hide and seek, in orbing, with a baby manticore, Excalibur led to another problem. And you decided to hold off on that till he was old enough to start fencing practice, all in all here at the moment."
"Binding his powers is the better choice for the first year then, once he's 2 to 3 years old, we unbind them and until then I, or Chris, can protect him. I'm a whitelighter now, so unless someone hits me with a Darklighter arrow, I'm going to be fine. Chris though, it's going to take me, Andy and dad to deal with it. Before you ask, I can't say who's after Wyatt, but as we get the dvd's at the end of each year, you're learning that way."
"Like you said with you knowing who we are now, that's ended the suspicion and it's about the get better right now. Because this time I don't have to hold back with either of who you at the moment." he said and the duo nodded. "Either that or we take a guess, because Chris asked if Gideon knew if he was here and why, or not. And Zola said he didn't, he also mentioned Barbas, and we, Phoebe and Paige ended up in the parallel."
"So going by those clues, I'm guessing Gideon is the elder that caused him to break and Barbas had Phoebe's active powers taken away. And after Darryl got framed for something after the spider demon, so with that in mind, once magic school comes into the picture. It's the only ones trusted are our family group, the sextet, Jack, Daryl and Drake." Leo said and he nodded to answer him gently at that as he answered him.
"Yeah that sums it up, but with the girls equally matched, it was bad." he said to him and she sighed. "Yeah alright with that in mind right now we need to work this out, but the guys are taking turns in bodyguard mode. And I'm with Piper, but looking at this now, it's you're acting as, to the outside world, you're my oldest, looking at the time frame. If I had you, it's exactly the right timing, wait, wait that's it, I did say that if I had a son."
"Then I would name him Perry, so you're my son and Piper had Chris, but I'm taking off the added five years to your birthday to fit that time frame. So 1984, Chris 1987, Wyatt, 2003, and Christian, 2004, that fits in nicely. Like me, Piper did the same thing here, and with your middle name that's enough to help out now. But you're graduating from high school and are entering college in a year, while little you is entering high school."
"Perry Halliwell, Chris Halliwell, you look like a 17 to 18 year old version of your 15 year old self. So you're entering your senior year of high school this year, your younger self, he's entering high school now. And in 2 years leading into this you're going on 20 by that point and you got the time your teenage self doesn't have regarding these things. But for the next 20 months we've got time to relax, until Cole is completely out of the picture."
"And in 2 years leading into whoever it was it that killed you, you're doing your masters degree from home and over the computer, okay. But little you said you're closest to me in your aunts, but you took after me in everything right now anyway at the moment." she said and he looked at Andy. "Then Andy's my father, and like Leo it's the added side effect of daddy issues as I lost my father for two years, because of Rodriguez."
"And I just got him back last week, I'm 17 and starting my senior year of high school next term, Chris is on the freshman football team, I'm in the varsity. And I'm also playing basketball as well, so Chris has football and track team, I'm on the varsity football team and basketball team. And we both have the added abilities of being a witchlighter, well that should be interesting." he said and the quartet nodded to that.
"Yeah that's an understatement, but we need a good alibi to why there's two of you in this house, but this you. You've taken on my and Prue's personality traits so much that it's clear to everyone else you're like me when it comes to the job. Like when Prue was dealing with the stalker, you go to extremes just to find out. Who was the stalker after Wyatt, and it nearly kills you while doing it at the time, while little you is just like Piper."
"If that's why you called a demon scanner in the house I understand why, right now and we're going to have to do that anyway. But to Wyatt, you're his adult cousin, little you his big brother and little you is acting like a normal teenager. While you're acting like me in trying to solve this and before it kills your cousin or worse." Andy said to him and she nodded. "Yeah and that sums it up, you had your favorite aunt with me and vice versa."
"So if I had more then one son, and one was in his junior year of college, you in high school and your brother 6 months old. And I'd be ticked that this is interfering in your getting your homework done and your brother being woken up from his bedtime. And order that your brother get that last ingredient and had that potion made. Because enough was enough by that point for us, Prue and Andy." Piper said to him at that then.
"And again, if we have a fight break out, because you're butting into her business and we're the ones dealing with it. We've got a teenager and 6 month old baby in the house we don't need this argument getting loud enough to wake up his brother after we just got him to sleep that night. And while he's trying to get his homework done with his parents on a date that night." Andy said to Phoebe at that as Chris sighed as he said it.
"Yeah, but in this, when I'm not hanging around my friends on the track team or at football practice, I'm at the club doing my part time job. Or here at the house helping mom leading into when Wyatt is born, Perry, leading into when Wyatt's four months. But that's when you take over helping dad, mom, Aunts Prue and Paige and Uncle Andy, regarding controlling things in the search for our perp." he said and Perry nodded to him.
"Yeah alright, cuz, but quick word of warning here in that, in raising a toddler to teenage version of a witchlighter, never give cold medication to a Witchlighter. By that I mean cold medication that has a high level of antihistamines in it. Or it's going to have their powers start going crazy, as they lose total control over their abilities." he said and Leo thought it over as the image shot through his head and nodded as he answered him.
"The antihistimes in the pills, taking cold medication that makes you drowsy, we just choose the one that doesn't have antihistimes in it. And that's the Dayquil liquid caps, and I'm willing to bet she bought the Nitequil to get through the head cold or whatever she had. And repeated dosing she started losing control over her orbing and ended up cleaning a train car of pedestrians and decided to take the train home as result."
"Moral to that story, don't take it or its going to lessen your control over your orbing when you're sick, add a little cold medication and you lose control entirely. Thanks for the heads up, I take Paige found that out the hard way and us with her, son?" he asked and Chris nodded. "Yeah she had a cold, took the one that a sedative in it and her powers start going berserk, and it was after mom calmed down did she realize it."
"And explained it to all three of you, after that ro-test you and mom were working out and dealing with the kinks after you became a teacher. By the time I was 18 months borderline 2 years old and you guys quickly learned what and what not to do. When your oldest cubs are half whitelighter at the time here, so with me here now. You're spending two years learning that with Paige also living here at the manor now at the moment."
"And I'm taking you through the do's and don't's of being a teenage witchlighter until Wyatt is born." he said and his parents nodded. "I take it there is a possible danger to being half witch/half whitelighter and being born in the house, right Prue. If you guys are getting ready for when Piper gets pregnant again with Chris getting ready to start high school right now?" Jack asked and she nodded with a sigh as she explained that to him.
