Characters: Chris, Piper, Leo, Phoebe, Paige and Darrel
Time-line: After the events of Cat house
Sypnopsis: After their visit to the marriage counselor ended, Piper and Leo get a permanent visitor, in the form of their son Chris Perry. Hearing the truth to why he came to them from the future, the couple decides to allow their son. Just to live with them in the house as they prepare to protect their youngest, Chris's older brother.
Warnings: This is a Chris revelation story spanning from the end of Cat House till the end of season 8. Unlike my other story, this is one set in the time frame as the first, and no time line reset, and they and Paige trust him immediately now. Only with Paige acting like Prue, and Darryl never ends their friendship. So this one follows things all the way to epilogue, in where we see them writing their memoirs.
This is also in the first 5 chapters after that conversation is going to be minor Phoebe bashing, because she wanted to be the one to save their marriage…
Disclaimers: The show and characters don't belong to me, the story belongs to me everything else belongs to the creator and the movie company.
Chapter 1: Unexpected Arrivals And Quick Decisions
After the session was concluded, the family was going about things, before they heard walking down the stairs and a young man came in. "Alright kid, how you get into the house?" their cop friend said and he smiled gently. "Actually, I think you know the answer to that already mom, a certain symbol left on the wall." he said and she covered her eyes. "Abraxas?" she said and he nodded. "Yeah 16 years into the future." he said and she smiled, realizing what he meant.
"I'm the teenage double to the version you would meet when he's 3 months old, I'm in 21 months younger, he's my big brother, turned baby now." he said and they smiled at the news. "Mom, not doing what my adult double did here, I came to warn you now, you and dad, after said demon a couple weeks ago, that's only the beginning, instead of kill is convert now. But my adult self in trying to protect Wyatt, got stabbed right in front of him." he said and she nodded.
"Who did it exactly, if we lost it completely, we lost big you, just as little you, this you, is born." her husband said, standing up sternly and he sighed. "That's the part I don't know, I was born after big me died in your arms." he said and he nodded, as he pulled him into a hug then, and he tightened his arms around him. "God I missed you dad, in truth it's been a month, you died taking the arrow for me." he said softly and his father nodded, pressing his forehead to his then.
"Shh, it's okay, let me guess, I regained my powers and in saving you, I took the shot?" he asked and Chris nodded. "That's as much as you can tell us, we're dead, us and your aunts and uncles now, and you shot yourself back 18 years in time, to when your brother was a baby." he said and Chris nodded. "Then it's fine, that's no excuse to see this as everything was fine, till you showed up, well that's just not true at all, it hasn't been fine for 2.5 years since here."
"A certain someone came into our lives now." their cop friend said and his parents nodded, as her sister went pale, realizing to them it was fine now, as his mother said it gently. "Your mother and I need all the help we can get right now, but id you're taking my place. As white lighter I get promoted and we do this together now, one big happy family again. In our family, we have you, everything is fine now." he said, pressing his forehead to his gently then smiling.
"Your father's right, with you here, we're a family, and we can manage it, you protect your brother, we protect both of you, but your news. Thank you for telling me, we know can trust you, but if this is about future consequences. Then we get the message, but let me take a guess, but big you was the result of some sort of incident now. So…, Melinda, my daughter now, she was based on my irritation, your father stayed a whitelighter, or better, an elder now."
"Prue's now president of Buckland's, and I'm still running the club, but I'm living here." she said and he looked down and his father nodded. "Nathaniel Pratt, and his witch hunt, Phoebe, what was it you said exactly, you hate rules?!" he said sternly and she swallowed hard. "Yeah and to me and Eric, you totally bailed on us, after learning she was pregnant with twins. There for mom, Wyatt, the entire world, but not me, never had the time." he said and his father nodded.
"That's a different future buddy, if you are mine, then I treated you and your brother just the same, but that's a different future, pre magical holocaust baby. As such now, we have all the time in the world, if you decided to try again, right now. Then, if I lost big you, after we pulled things together now, I decided things would be different and you and your sister. Had a happy childhood till whatever happened." he said and Chris Perry Halliwell nodded as he answered him.
"Wyatt is just born, it's 16 years and 21 months later, so you understand, look like you, but have dad's eyes." he said and she and her husband nodded smiling, realizing what he was saying. "Someone told you to, if we never busted you on sight to give us clues, and this means, it's not Prue, but rather Paige you grew up with, in knowing as your aunt, in both your cases." she said and he smiled and she smiled as she hugged him tightly. "I missed you." he said into her ear.
As she looked into his eyes, seeing the little boy that she knew, the young man, he would become, as he pressed his forehead to her's and she smiled. "My baby, you're his little brother, this is about making sure we never lost him you came back to save us. Him from whatever, your father and me, our marriage and possibly Darryl and Sheila with us." she said and he nodded. "That's the reason exactly, change this day, everything with." he said to her and she smiled.
"You can call me mom if you want, if you're staying a while, baby, if you're Wyatt's baby brother, as a teenager, at least your father and I know what you grow into it now." she said and his father nodded, realizing he could be family. "I've come from the future, the resistance sent me here to protect Wyatt and the family, from whoever turned him now." he said and they nodded then. "So rather then assassination by the demons, it's conversion." she said to him gently.
"Yeah exactly, but more of the 'why couldn't I save you, and I know I could have', but first was my adult double and then you. Before you ask who the catalyst was, I think you know the answer already, as Paige killed him already." he said and she crossed her arms. "This past year in events once again, and you came back to alert your father, me and Paige, let alone Darryl. And to this right now, Paige or Prue, we been against him ever since." she said sternly to this.
"Yeah Cole's aftermath is still very strong here, as you said he had a total meltdown after becoming an avatar. But quite honestly about that right now, girls, I think it's time you need more me time rather then we time, the we being seen as a trio. And soon enough, now before you ask who I am, just turn Piper into a boy, only with Leo's eyes." he said and the quartet did that and backed up in shock. "What's your name, son?" Leo Wyatt asked him and he nodded.
"Chris Perry, although now that you possibly busted me, my name is short for my full name, mom kept the surname, but tacked on your's for good measure. But the boys gained the P name in the middle names, aside from Wyatt, he's the exception to the rule. Eric, my twin is Frederick Allen Philip Halliwell Wyatt, me, you named me after Prue's unborn son. If they got married at the time." he said and she chuckled as her youngest sister smiled, knowing it now real finally.
"Rules of time travel Leo, not more then necessary here, and with that right now, if someone we knew wanted us to know him on sight, they just got their wish, he's our son. There must have a been a backfire before your promotion, that they decided to try again. A month after Wyatt is born, instead of 4 months after right now." she said and he nodded. "Taking guesses is the best option here 1), and it had to be really bad to make him come here." he said and she nodded.
"Let me take a wild guess here, is that someone close to us sent you here right now, uh…, the Trudeaus, they were close to getting back together before he was killed, married eternally?" his mother asked and he smiled and she smiled in relief. "Prue and Andy sent him, I'm the only one that doesn't know what you looked like as a teenager, Piper." her friend said and she nodded. "It can't be anyone else, this must be connected to Pratt again right now, his attempt with it."
"The Salem Witch Trials resulted in the forces of evil fighting back, and killing both sides." she said and he sighed in relief and she nodded, as she said it. "She sent you for three reasons, the biggest one is connected to Phoebe here now, the house?" she said and he nodded smiling. "Well a few small details your mother and I can take it from here, so one way door here. Well kiddo, if you're staying a while, we got an idea of what to expect here, in your brother here now."
"But I need to adjust his medication, after your aunt was orbing uncontrollably." Leo said and she nodded in agreement in to that. "We need to discuss that, but over the next few months we had an emergency to contend with, involving the cleaners here. You'll see what I mean later dad, but quite frankly, one is blocked, the other active." he said and she nodded, as Wyatt orbed out in response. "Get back here, wise guy." he added and he orbed back in and she chuckled.
"We're not playing hide and seek, whitelighter style, you're staying where I can see you, bro." he said and his toy football appeared in his hands in response and he nodded. "Yeah in a few months bro, I promise." he said and he looked at him happily then, as he gripped his hand and he nodded. "Yeah when I say bro, I mean it, you are my brother, mommy and daddy are my mommy and daddy as well." he said and he looked into his eyes, as the shield covered them.
"Yeah I love you too bro, you protect me, I protect you, but me not single, me have double me to play with so you have two brothers and unborn baby sister in 5 years. Me, I'm unborn baby as teenage me, you can play with me, before little me is born now." he said and he nodded, his eyes holding a delighted smile at that and Leo chuckled. "Yeah he's delighted with that, he has you and your twin, if you are one, to play with till your baby selves are old enough to finally."
"But guys no pillow orbing around the room, just because you got startled okay." She said and he looked into his eyes gently and they nodded smiling. "This is us now, and expect the constant case of whitelighter pranks in cub style, mom. To answer the other question I am now, I am a twin, but to tell us apart you had my stuff in green, him red." He said and she nodded, smiling. "And there it is, you protect your brother, your father and I protect both of you here now."
"So two young witchlighters and possibly only a single power in your sister's case, which one did she get exactly, if you had a sister here?" she asked and he smiled. "She ended up with your powers, mom, so the nickname firebird came into it here. And I mean literal firebird, she's a chick, you're an adult here." he said and she and Leo both nodded with a chuckle. "Her name is Melinda, so baby girl last, we called her Mellie." he added and she nodded smiling, gently.
"The frequent blows to the stomach were thwarted by healing magic, nothing was stopping you from having us, even the forces of evil." he said and she hugged him tightly then in delight. "My boys, my baby boys, so first is learning how to deal with having whitelighters in my family. Via your father, aunt and you boys, now comes being a witch, very well now, baby. Then I need to bind those powers, before she destroys something, mine were more then enough here."
"But her, if she's me in everything that counts here, the constant freeze up is having the non magical members of the family wondering why we're in the wrong position." she said and their cop friend nodded in bemusement. "Yeah after you froze the entire kitchen, during that lunatic after you guys started out Piper, and Andy was frozen on the spot, before I walked in there." he said and she nodded in agreement to his opinion gently as her sister was shaking in laughter.
"Motherhood started with dealing with an infant whitelighter, but next is the next size up, I'm too much like you and dad to even consider joining him." Chris said and she and Leo nodded then. "So pretend we had you when your mother and I were 18, so we knew the side effects, mix us both together you get your aunt, yourselves and your brother. It was just before I came back to town, she and I discussed sending you to boarding school, Prue with us at the time."
"So exactly 15 years later, you, though looking 18, are really going on 15." he said and Chris nodded to confirm that consideration. "Yeah just starting high school here in our frame, but orbing is better then driving and to quote you, mom. We have enough people orbing in and out of the house and frankly we don't need an outsider involved here." he said and she nodded. "Agreed, let's keep it to you three and your twin, if he comes here." She said and Leo nodded.
"Point taken and like I would later say, is we're not big fans of Dumbledore like elders right now, but if a hybrid is threat, then why are you and I not, or just baby Cole exactly?" her sister said crossing her arms and Piper nodded. "It's the house itself, Paige, possibly being born over the nexus, twice blessed, but if Chris is this powerful, he got the added power boost. By his father's promotion, sometime in the next 5 months." she said and she nodded sternly then.
"And for now, if it's we can't trust anyone outside our circle starting now, not after it turned out to be our bartender. And just after the Halloween party at the time here, before realizing Cole is half demon. And not just any, anymore, but Belthazor now, back to that again, only instead of us, is your brother, Buddy?" Leo asked and he nodded. "Yeah, but it's combination this time, last was only evil, this time it's good and evil." He said and she and Leo nodded gently to him then.
"Fair enough we better alert your bosses Leo, about this, but us and the cops together." their cop friend said and he and Piper nodded in agreement. "Yeah Paige, this was the result of us being stalked by a elemental demon, that someone kept turning on the A.C. When in the middle of November, till we saw the said demon themselves, before 2 more instances. A loss of temper destroying our powers, and the truth comes out Cole is Belthazor." She said and she nodded.
"Who are they, the Trudeaus, Piper?" her younger sister said and she smiled. "That's Prue and her husband, he was Darryl's partner when we started out, Paige. But after a while he started coming to us for help in arresting demons, including a hit woman. And before he was killed in a demon attack, Andy Trudeau, she was hoping, by her saying through him. After she tried turning herself into a man, to do the same thing with me, only 17 years younger in appearance here."
"He's as powerful as his brother, probably more so here, so if I got pregnant again, sometime in the next 10 months now, his powers, by way of whatever happens to Leo, offset Wyatt's. As Wyatt was born in the house, but after this knowledge incoming in the dangers here. As she sent him to remind me of that, if he's being born in the hospital, so the whitelighter. Are instantly active, but the witch, takes a year, same for you, me and Prue." she said to her gently.
"Chris Perry." he added gently and Piper Halliwell nodded. "Or more accurately Christopher Perry Halliwell-Wyatt, we named you after his father. But the Perry now in truth is what Prue would name her son, if she had a boy. I decided to honor her by naming you that, you're mine, if you have both, like your brother does." she said and he looked down and she chuckled and nodded. "You're our's alright, whitelighter father/witch mother, it's us." Leo said smiling gently at that.
"All too easy here, you're our son from the future, if your young adult self attempted this a few months further down the road." she said and he nodded. "Yeah after it took till after he was conceived, me conceived, for you to take the warning seriously. They decided to try again and sent me back 1 month after, and you telling her to get back to work." he said and she and his father nodded. "Well still too young to leave you guys alone, Paige?" she asked and she nodded.
"Well with you looking close to 16, I'd say, if you were born in the past here, 1987?" she asked and he nodded. "Yeah exactly Aunt Paige, now that you busted me, I can drop the act now, but Aunt Prue sent me for 3 reasons, 1) to help you find out. In who tried to have him killed, 2) fix your relationship, before we have repeater now and 3) give you some added help here. More me time, less we time, as this co dependency needs to lessen." he said and she nodded, smiling.
"Get a life first: find a hobby and return to your original job as a handyman, when you were a contractor dad, be a wife and mother first. The family now comes first, as you're dealing with frequent areas to upgrade the club now, and plenty of family time. Between us, dad and Wyatt now, and more time as a couple, as you have me or Eric to babysit now. And more time to yourselves, that's why I'm here, co-dependency, give you guys some space, more time me."
"Like dad said you're inseparable as sisters, but leave the family out of this when you're in the middle of a spat, or Wyatt's going to wonder here right now, so less time we. Aunt Prue told me the circumstances, exactly, everything, during the sin balls, after you decided to stay here mom. However here, is that, and you're going to love this, I spoke to Elise, long story, and she told me the circumstances, to why Cole was putting a strain on things between you three now."
"Last year, you chose to stay and now she wants separation, that Prue said this directly, Phoebe should have thought of that, before activating your powers. As she said here after said cat/warlock, is that though the girls don't need her as much now. Gives her time, to help others that do, so same thing here, mom's the eldest sister, but you guys. Need to give each other space here, boundaries now." he said and Piper nodded as Leo crossed his arms in agreement.
"Wyatt's looking down right now, you just said his thoughts out loud, are we fighting constantly because of him now?" Leo said and she nodded as Chris crouched and looked into Wyatt's eyes. "No buddy, mommy and daddy are not arguing because of you, daddy's job and mommy's family trouble as what we are, us being witches. Mommy also depends on aunties Paige and Phoebe too much, so mommy and daddy went to married counseling, and the solution here."
"Is Daddy needs to return to having a hobby again, your current room, he created for you, it used to be mommy closet. He builds things, and outside of home, while mommy needs to be a mommy and his wife first now, and they need more couple time. So daddy, mommy and I decided for now Aunty Paige babysits till you're 5 months older now. And then I take over, protecting you, but adding D.J. and another friend, I need babysitting myself at times."
"Everything is fine, but daddy has job upgrade in a few months that upgrade comes with me taking his place, as mommy's whitelighter, we're angels. So me being junior angel, as daddy has only one client, us now after that as the year goes by. And as mommy gets pregnant with baby me after that, but me always here to protect you now, I promise as you grow now. I'm looking for the bad people that are trying to hurt you, change you from very good to bad yourself."
"But once door to school activates, always leave your shield up, as it could be teacher leader and his assistant there, it is, he's aligned with the most dangerous bad man of them all. A man called Barbus, who is the evil version of the future persona now, fear now. Of Mommy and Aunt Paige's next protection gig, what we call the Roman, who are Roman names of Greek gods. As you grow, we study gods and goddesses, know their powers, these ones are Mars, Phobos."
"And Deimos, to us War, fear and terror, Barbus is the god of fear, we are afraid to lose you, and more afraid of the bad people turning you evil. So my job is to find out who caused it, if it is teacher leader, daddy, in his promotion handles it. As with him being like angel leaders now, as job opportunities outside the house, Aunty Paige is doing temporary jobs, as the year goes by." he said and in response he orbed into his arms and Piper chuckled at that and Leo smiled.
"I think that's, 'okay Chris, I understand, but no go stay here, don't leave me.'." he said and she nodded with a smile as Paige shook her head. "And there's look who's talking magical version only the baby can speak for themselves finally, with baby being 15 a year old." Piper said in response and they nodded in agreement. "Only way to prevent Pratt's version coming true right now, is binding one set of powers and leave it to whitelighter." he said and she nodded sternly.
"Agreed, we can worry Paige, but worry from afar, just like you prefer it, your love life now is not our business here and till you decide to come to us for advice, we leave it alone." she said and Paige smiled gently at that. "Phoebe, this butting in on her personal life, she had more privacy when she was living at her old apartment. You're acting like Prue, only in reverse, is this revenge for us forcing you to decide here?" Leo asked and she jerked at the question, in fear.
"Well we're just saying this now, you are not the one running the show, I am 1), and 2), your love lives are not my business starting now, leave her alone. Because your new powers are wrecking havoc on our relationship." Piper said sternly and she swallowed hard then. "He's not your son, he's mine, you want a baby, create your own, but stay out of this starting now. I am not leaving that clock to be run out, we start, we start now." she said warningly to her at that.
"Well us or Prue and you, same difference, us one side, her on the other, but you said it directly, she needs to get back to work. The force shield just ended, and now we have to get used to you being vulnerable again." Paige said and Leo nodded in agreement. "Yeah that and we get extra firepower with my youngest turned oldest here now, one who can drive a car. And run errands if necessary now, but Wyatt is staying where I can see him, as I need the extra help in family."
"But there's why he's here, if I need you to babysit till Wyatt is 8 months, I'll call you, but in the meantime Paige you have freetime as we harness our powers, and run that list." she said and she, their cop friend and Leo nodded smiling then gently. "Fair enough, white lighters only here, that's a perfect weapon, because we can orb out, in case of danger in the house." she said and Leo and their friend nodded with a chuckle then smiling and Chris smiled at the remark.
"I wouldn't call that sabotage, but as Penny would say here, that we put the catch of inputting extra room in the house, so nobody moves out. So, with that, we're putting in another 8,000 feet, magically into the house, each 2.5 thousand, is set to each girl alone." Leo said and they nodded. "And stick to your side, so we don't have said problems we did after she married Cole, just another few years, then we move out, but our space is still here." she said and he smiled.
"Dad, you know anything about the Callaways and Montanas?" Chris asked and he nodded. "I know they've been stuck in a war for the last 5 centuries, but if I know it here now. When my Shakespearian history, it's Capulet and Montague, and our Romeo could be Paige's new fling." he said and Paige nodded. "I really need to meet this guy, they possibly shot his fiancé, we're really close friends, but if he can't control himself…" Paige said gently and Piper nodded then.
"Leo, get the heads of both houses here now, we're calling a cease fire, before they kill each other." Piper said and he nodded and quickly as they waited then, as they saw the parents of both sides. "Alright who are you, if you sent your whitelighter to us?" she asked and Piper nodded. "Have you ever heard of the Power Of Three, the charmed ones?" Paige asked and they all nodded. "We're them, but going by your surnames calling it." she said to her then gently.
"Then you know about the feud and our personal histories with each other?" the man's wife said and she nodded. "We do, but we're just asserting ourselves into your lives right now, before my sister gets involved with your son, if you're patriarch of the Montana clan." Piper said and he nodded. "I am, Ms. Halliwell and nice to meet you, that's the head of the Callaway clan, we're your new innocents, okay, so my son has been trying to keep from using magic right now."
"That, in truth has us knowing why, but someone in my family gets shot, after not using them it could get dangerous. But recently the starcrossed lover catch resulted in killing Olivia, we're not sure who fired the shot, The one that killed her, but that resulted in cease fire, so any temps jobs involving us, be ready to duck, if another one gets thrown through the window." He said and Paige nodded. "I'm Paige, these are my sisters Piper and Phoebe." she said and he smiled.
"Nice to meeting, honey, my name is Benjamin, this is my wife Rosaline, we're the Montanas, I have 2 sons, Richard and Steven. And his name is James Callaway, it's him, his mother and his daughter, my son's late fiancé." he said and she nodded. "Don't worry, Darryl's okay he knows about us, but he figured you guys are like us: witches." she said and they nodded. "In fact, better yet, I can be your whitelighter, in training yeah, but stick close." she said and he nodded.
"We appreciate that, this is going to be a long sum months." she said and Paige nodded smiling gently, looking at her supposed fling's parents, before looking at the Callaways gently. "Alright dad, what gives exactly?" they heard and he chuckled and nodded. "Guys, I would like you to Paige Matthews and her sisters Piper and Phoebe Halliwell, we're their new clients. She's our new whitelighter." He said gently and a young man with a growing mustache and gentle eyes.
Looked at her gently and Paige smiled and Piper looked between them and hid a smile at that, knowing she found him highly attractive, but for now they were just friends. "Hey girls, hey kid, so let me take a wild a guess, you're Piper's son, she's married to their own whitelighter?" his brother said and they nodded. "I'm training to heal, half whitelighter, half witch, so half breed, she's like me, in Aunt Paige's case, I just came home today." he said and they nodded, smiling.
"Well we're not alone now, we can run mediator, before the truce breaks down, but what are your addresses exactly, so we know where to find you." she asked and Richard Montana wrote down their's first, before giving her his phone number and she nodded. And she put it in her picket gently then, as Callaway passed Piper his then. "Well in between temp jobs, I'm going to keep checking on you guys right now, in truth, but looks like you're my primary one right now."
"These temp jobs, originally were meant to have me getting into magical circumstances, finding innocents to help. With you being the main right now, it's a solo path till we need the power of three, so just call my name, if you need me starting now." she said and he and Callaway nodded and Darryl sighed in relief. "Thank you guys, for coming, and Steven can you give us a ride home, with them living across the street." Montana asked and he nodded, as they got up.
"Nice meeting you Paige, Girls, Leo, son, Lieutenant, Mrs. Morris." Richard said and they nodded. "You too Richard, see you guys soon, Sir, Mam, Mr. Callaway." she said and he nodded gently then. "Yeah he's love struck, but then why not, you're drop dead gorgeous Paige, just try to keep from going passed base two, especially in the house now." Piper said and she nodded smiling. "Early start, she has a life outside the family now." Sheila said smiling and she nodded.
"Agreed right now, we take this one step at a time, your sister and I can worry, I just worry from afar in your case, like you prefer it. But that recent case of your temping now, was based here on your finding our next innocent and ending it now. So jump from case to case, till as we start ending the bad guys, if the job needs the power of three. We'll know it, you get some space, finally here from us." Leo said and she nodded as Chris smiled gently at the remark.
"Yeah I can do that, head for the temp office, see if the job is magically involved by any chance and we start searching, as the next year goes by. Once I'm sure it needs the power of 3 I call you and Phoebe in and as we're taking out every evil there is. The next 20 months are going to be busy, but we start early, pretend we don't know it's your mentor. Though it is, it's because of the prophecy, and his being born in the house now, as you said." she said and the couple smiled.
"The prophesied chosen one, he's Anakin, but he's beyond powerful here right now, we use that, good his powers can save billions, evil. Hence whatever is going on in the future, but something clearly happened here, if the downward spiral started with you. And ended with your mother right now, but two lost loved ones and his mind snapped." their friend said sternly to this. "As for you and me, we just became overly protective parents now, now that we busted him."
"He can be as open as possible with us, as we live a normal family life here, at the same time, you can set your own hours, with only one innocent to protect finally. The family itself, if you become mortal a second time now, then it's not a big deal as you're a teacher now. As for this, both sides are witches, but every time someone tries to call a cease fire, something. Sets it off, yeah okay we play the prince, after that, we see what happens." she said and he nodded then.
And Chris looked down smiling gently at that and they chuckled at that. "I gave up my wings for good and became the new headmaster for magic school, while Paige. She took on being a full whitelighter, well I can guess why here, said being we must have killed Gideon. Especially if he's our big good right now, in the good/bad combo." he said and he nodded and she crossed her arms. "Albus Dumbledore complex, Leo, book 5." Paige said and he nodded sternly to her.
"We better make the house the size of mansion on the inside, incorporating a pool, gym, training simulator, library, family movie theater into it, so basically a small town. Here, inside the house, each apartment is 5,000 with all the trimmings, small office, family room. Kitchen, living and dining area, with working appliances, and 4 to 5 bedrooms and 3 to 4 baths. When in the apartment, so the noise is kept in your bedroom and you get privacy." he said to this gently.
"More time as a wife and mother, that's why you came, give your parents more time as a couple, protect your brother, but with us 11 years apart here now. I have till your brother turns 8 months and then you take over, in babysitting duty, fair enough now." Paige said and Piper nodded smiling gently. "And we're not having resentment creep up here, simply because she wants to spend more time with our boys, less girl time between you two now, Phoebe, in truth."
"Because if what he says is what I'm thinking here right now, we only have a couple years left, then we go about our lives, as you guys move out, but Piper and I stay here. So can it already, after things cool down, we destroyed the inner workings, that's just the beginning. So there's more demons and evil to fight, after we ended whoever it is, we can all relax here now, in truth." Leo said sternly to her to this then and she looked at him in shock to that remark then.
As he ran his hands through his hair. "I may have to get that potion arranged sooner then we expected here right now, being as dad and I are your whitelighters. And dad's about to be promoted right now, as I don't you guys are going to kill each other." Chris said and Leo nodded sternly then at the news then. "Blocking us from your aunt and just so she never starts screwing with being an empath right now huh, yeah I get why right now, you're a young whitelighter."
"And that's your first good deed, by helping preventing the destruction of their trio." he said and Chris nodded gently then. "Like you said kid, only that's literal kid being I'm your son, but kiddo, you papa whitelighter, me cub, so papa teaching cub, in healing and everything else." he said and he chuckled and nodded. "Yeah my cub, but looks like I'm Jeff as he and Josh created their bonds, only now, if you knew me that way already, all the better." he said to him smiling then.
"We're putting subtitles to these situations this one is called Cat House, literally, with Kit being turned into a human now, the next is Nymphs Just Want to Have Fun. And the Previous prior to Kit is called Lucky Charmed." Chris said and they nodded. "Only way remember what went on during these situations with you arriving a month after your brother is born now. Give it a good title, and we know which one we're referencing here." Piper said with a laugh gently then.
"Well we just wait to see why we have Nymphs showing up on the doorstep, but Paige with you still being my midwife here, though I'm on maternity leave. I could use your help in just prepping for defensive potions as Chris and I start up again, after we have loaded the cabinet." she said and Paige nodded smiling. "The first born just came home to the nest, but we better take out a loan with a slowly growing family here." Leo said and they nodded in agreement then.
"Phoebe don't start with the 'he just arrived, that we should be wary of him his words, his trying to help us, he could be trying to lower our guards. And with him being this kind and open with us right now' catch, you do, but you're attracted to evil. Us we circulate the good magicals, we welcomed in every orphan that braced our doorstep, and this one is another family member." Paige said sternly and she jerked at that. "Spoken like a Halliwell." Piper said to this sternly.
"But that, and secondly this rant right now, if we never busted him before his conception date, we're not happy, or did last night not make a point to you. Leo's sleeping on the couch right now, you call that happy, more like you're happy right now. That you're not the only one who's miserable right now!" she said and she jerked at the insult, before realizing to her and Paige's opinion, he was coming to fix what Wyatt's being born was screwing up now, as a second child.
"But to save the family, the entire world, he risked his own existence, to save us, but if this was the previous version now. Then that exchange has to be the most cold bloodiest thing I ever heard after Leo left at the time." she said coldly as Chris revealed what he, as his infant self, heard through Paige's memories then. "Chris?" she called again, but there was still no reply. "I take I tried to call you after conception?" she asked him and he nodded gently to her then.
As Piper heard her future self heaving an exhausted sigh. "He hates me. My own son hates me." She muttered to herself sadly and Paige shook her head. "I don't think he does, sweetie, in truth here, he's getting used to being conceived." she commented lightly, orbing in behind her, and making Piper jump in fright. "Paige!" she snapped angrily, as she got a cloth to clean up some of the coffee she had just sloshed over the side of the cup at that.
"Sorry sweetie, but for what it's worth, I don't think he hates you." She said, and Piper looked at her desperately then. "Then why won't he talk to me? He won't answer me at all, I just want to talk to him...and after that noise I made yesterday he probably thinks I'm not happy that he is my son, which is wrong, the only thing I'm not happy with is how we've all treated him. I might as well have locked him in the cupboard
"And under the stairs!" she said hysterically and Paige looked at her kindly and patted her hand. "First off, it was Harry Potter's aunt and uncle that did that, not his mother and we all treated him badly, because we didn't trust him. But if my future self decided to change this part now, and by sending him back. To just after Wyatt is born that helps, as we bust him on arrival, trusted immediately." She said gently and she shook her head.
As she sighed gently, knowing that had been better arrival the day he was born, as they got a very good look at him and trusted immediately. "Yeah, maybe, but didn't he keep proving that he was on our side. Yeah, fair enough, the way he went about it sometimes didn't do him any favours, but the way we treated him. All the time..., from day one I wanted him out of my life, out of our lives and now I find out the reason he did all of this."
"Just was to stop his big brother turning evil, to try and save his family...and we made it harder for him. His own family, we acted like we despised him...no wonder he doesn't want to talk to me." Piper said sadly, tears forming in her eyes, looking at her gently, Paige didn't know what to do, knowing she was right at the time now with that one sentence. It wasn't as if they could even take him a peace offering to try and get him to talk to them then.
And because aside from the fact that he was Piper's son, his name and that he was a bit neurotic and very focused on his mission, they knew next to nothing about him. In hindsight, Paige too was feeling slightly sickened with herself. They had treated him as little more than a bit of furniture, and one that they wanted rid of at that. But they had to try to get him to talk to Piper. "We will get him to talk to you Piper. He just needs time." She said to her gently.
"Yeah, time..., time to come to terms with the fact that he thinks his own mother and his aunts hate him! He must have thought I was disgusted when he saw me yesterday..." she pouted at that remark. "Well, aren't you a teeny bit?" Phoebe asked as she came in, and Piper's eyes flashed. "Oh you are so not doing this right now." Sheila said sternly and Darryl nodded in agreement, seeing the first indication she was ready to blow.
Knowing Paige saw this and hoped to hell someone would instantly create a nuclear bunker right in front of her because she could feel that this would get ugly. And she had a suspicion taking cover would be her best policy. "What?" Piper bit out angrily then, her tone turning dangerous then, and knowing the hormones just kicked in as Phoebe had never been pregnant twice. Seeing the look on her face then, Phoebe took a step back, and Paige saw it finally at that.
That she was regretting saying anything as Piper may have only known about her son for about twelve hours, but she had gone. And from barely tolerating of his presence to defending mother in that time. "Well...I'm just saying, that you could maybe be forgiven for being a bit disgusted..." Phoebe said awkwardly to her, and Paige winced, because subtlety was definitely not her sister's strong point and Leo crossed his arms and the present Phoebe swallowed hard.
Because the way it was coming across to the girls, Leo and their friends was that Phoebe was disgusted, and she didn't want to be disgusted alone as Piper glared at her sister. "Well I'm not disgusted Phoebe..., well not at the fact that he's my son anyway. Disgusted at how we've treated him, yes, but..., something tells me you are disgusted by your nephew. So spill it: What's your problem with him?" she demanded of her then sternly at this.
Phoebe looked worried, and Paige could well see why, as Piper looked murderous. "It's just he's done so much stuff..., breaking up you and Leo, manipulating us. Lying to us all this time when he could have just told us who he was, and even then he ignored me. And when I found out a month ago who he was..." she started to say and Paige shot her a dirty look as she answered her sternly and Leo nodded in agreement then as she said it then.
"He did all of that to save his family, and so far it's worked pretty well I reckon and besides, you can see that he didn't want to break them up. That he always looks so sad when it's mentioned, especially as we keep rubbing it in that he did it!" she snapped and Phoebe was about to give an incensed retort, when Piper stood in front of her. "Wait, you knew last month?" she demanded furiously and Phoebe stopped short at that.
And backing off under Piper's furious gaze as Paige too looked slightly concerned, as Paige had only known for two weeks, and Phoebe had known for four, as she couldn't see this ending well. "Um, yeah..., why?" Phoebe asked, looking slightly worried. "You knew for a month that I had another kid and you didn't tell me?" she demanded furiously at that news and she swallowed hard, as Paige ran her hand through the hair at the back of Chris's head gently.
"He didn't want me to tell you and I thought it would be a bit weird, telling you that the guy we've been mistreating. Is actually your son from the future, I didn't want to upset you!" she said shaking in fear at her question. "Oh..., so not telling me that Chris was my son until he might not have been born. Because of me and Leo until yesterday didn't do that, I see, well thank you for your concern!" Piper yelled at her in fury then.
And Phoebe shook her head. "Wait a minute, why am I being made into the bad guy, we were all perfectly happy. Until he showed up, and look at all the lies he's told, Wyatt turning evil, he's just a little baby. Who decides to change time just because his big brother picked on him, if I'd done that, you and Prue would never have been around!" she shouted and food processor then blew up making Paige and Phoebe shriek in surprise.
"How about the reverse, if I'd know you'd grow up evil, or being tempted by, after Anton and Cole, Cole doing the most damage to this family. It's because of him Prue is dead, turning us from that version of us, into this version of us. I would have done anything to isolate you and from any temptation, and Prue with me." she said through clenched teeth at her then sternly and she went pale at that, realizing she was screwed now.
"Ooh good catch there, it could be us and Leo, or Prue and you guys, doesn't matter which, and for the record she's right. Now knowing why he came, I think he did a very good thing, even if he had to put up with our crap. He stuck it out, and now that the truth is out, Piper and I could care less for what he has done. It's all do with his trying to prevent the changes to future, Wyatt turning evil like he told us here right now."
"And Leo would say the same thing, after said wish, that end one problem, Leo got over the grudge of his promotion, us with him, if I could. I would do the very same thing Phoebe, change the past, because you never listen to me. And when it turns out I'm right, you start acting like a stuck up entitled brat!" Paige said and she went white, never thinking she would do the same thing Chris had chosen, after meeting her 2 years prior.
"Your opinion holds no weight to me, now he may have done some questionable decisions, but it was because he was trying to save the family. No him and it becomes Pratt's version of the future, which answers why Leo and me were estranged. Only it appears to be here that Wyatt is first born, Chris next, and Melinda third. So basically, it's your fault that future happened, he's trying to fix that." Piper said and Leo, then.
Who beamed in upstairs, crossed his arms at the revelation, realizing it was pre Nathaniel Pratt's future of his and Piper's break up then, now realizing the younger man was his son. "Aw damn it, there it is, there's why we were divorced and estranged, it's because now of this. We split up prior to Chris being born, and while Chris was in kindergarten, Melinda was in daycare still. So exactly 10 years, Wyatt is 7, Chris was 5, she's 4." he said and Piper nodded sternly then.
"Baby if you can hear me, now that I know the truth, your father and I understand, I'm calling him back down and telling him, you did it to save our marriage. And protect your brother, it's okay right now, we would do the same in reverse. And us to your aunt, and in both sides, but your father is again out of town on business. Till I call him back down here now." she called out to him then and knew he was smiling at the news then.
Knowing then, that his parents understood his reasoning for this choice and with them, Paige. "And don't worry, just us, I'm not getting back together with Dan or Greg, Greg is just a friend, I belong to your father, still and always, it's fine. But you did it, you did and pulled it off, he and I, once he gets back, are getting back together. Just one client and we're it 1) and 2) you and he need to clear the air when he does." she said to him then.
And he nodded gently, knowing that was going to be a difficult conversation but had to be said finally, once done he and his father were acting like a father/son duo now. "Yeah knowing the truth, once we cleared the air between us, it's like we are now. And as a result, if you were a hockey player or basketball, I'm only tough on you, because I want you to succeed. Hadn't missed practice in 3 years, and multiple annoyances, there it is." Leo said and he smiled then.
"Phoebe, just wait on that right now, Chris, up front please!" she called out and he appeared instantly at that in response, and Paige chuckled at that gently. "Thanks mom, I needed to hear that right now, you forgive me, but Aunt Paige guessed right. At the moment, either you or Aunt Paige same thing, it goes two ways, but dad. In truth now, that's the hard part, but my powers now offset Wyatt's, I'm Thrice Blessed now."
"But like you girls, you and Aunt Prue, born in the hospital, but you read it correctly right now, post Nathaniel Pratt, it's on him." he said and she nodded sternly and Phoebe went pale then. "Is Melinda…" Piper started to say and he looked down and she nodded in enraged fury then. "I was staying at a friends house, Mellie was living with you, and Wyatt was in 2nd grade, this continues, and leads in that very same direction.."
"So that's our future, if we never fix this, as once you break the small rules, sooner or later, the big ones get broken too. And there's the reasoning now, we found Paige, and she took Phoebe's place, and neither Prue nor you. Wanted a change, but something caused him to change his mind, and everything was fine for 10 more, in the power of 3, till something made him break at 16, I decided to jump back 24 years in time."
"To two months into his birthday, with your's 3 months around the corner, but I never expected Bianca to actually drop in, but what I showed you was all true. Fight with a family member, Wyatt is that family member, I'm not sure. In what caused him to then, but that's what I'm trying to find out right now." he said and she nodded. "It's fine honey, best alert Darryl who you are though." she said and he nodded, and hugged her.
And then Paige and orbed out a second time. "Okay now, there it is, he's trying to figure out what nearly caused one version and it resulted in the second. And we see him in a fight to the death and grief to the point of hysterics, after Wyatt killed Bianca." Paige said sternly and she nodded in agreement. "Uh huh, yeah we would do what he decided, jump back to the weeks prior to the turning, yeah, nothing was fine after Cole."
"Chris's reasoning happens to be a very good one here right now, and I agree with him, Paige: we're spending the next 9 months looking up any evil. That we can now, but it could be your taste in media, so properly paranoid now. As for your remark, Ask Phoebe." she said and she started shaking, realizing that title meant she was in huge trouble now, it was just a day into the first trimester and was just getting started again now for them.
"I refuse to believe that: Yes, I don't want to believe that Wyatt turns evil, but I trust Chris enough to know that if I am his mom. Like you say, then I would have raised him properly and he would never have come back here if he had had any other choice. I don't want to think that Wyatt turns evil, but I will not believe that Chris came here. Just for the sake of it and if he put up with everything we've hit him with here now."
"And still not gone home, that makes me think he must prefer this place to there, so it must be really bad, meaning he must have a very good reason for coming here. And don't you dare say anything to him!" Piper snarled and stormed from the kitchen. "Piper, I am not the bad guy, it's not my fault he's turned everything upside down on us. This isn't my fault and Paige was disgusted by him too!" Phoebe said as they ran after her.
And Paige glared at Phoebe as they did so. "One baby, the apple of your eye, the other a mistake, you ever think, once he realizes this. That this is exactly that in his eyes, Leo finds out and he's going father bear immediately. She and I just took on the favorite aunt and mother accordingly positions. That the realization of that, is going to destroy him here now!" she said in fury and Piper nodded in shocked fury and she swallowed hard.
"But no, oh no, no don't you dare rope me into this, once I found out I was delighted here he's my baby boy, my nephew, I meant it. My favorite nephew, but why is that exactly, could it be, he and I are the same!" she yelled at her and she went white in fear, but it was too late, as Piper had turned with a thunderous expression on her face. "Oh, what was your problem with Chris, be honest now?" she said and she shook her head sternly.
"Nothing like Phoebe's seems to be, it was when the genie was around, when he wished here now. And for you and Leo to sleep together, I thought he was some creepy sex offender. And from the future, but you know, if you hadn't conned him we wouldn't even be having this conversation!" Paige yelled at Phoebe, who shook her head. "Understandable, but that's okay baby." she said and Paige sighed in relief then at that.
"Agreed, right now, if you told me this, it's fine, and now that he undid one wish, of us having so many problems, if he wished for me to get over whatever happened, prior. But yeah that's desperate, but we go to any means to keep ourselves alive, even going to. Now, tricky characters, like genies and alliances between us and our evil selves right now." Leo said and Piper nodded in agreement, as she saw her sister's look of arrogance and desperation finally.
"But in truth, nothing has been fine so you dragged Cole into our lives, and everything up to now is based on that, Leo is going to say the same. But maybe, just maybe, I can tell him, or something causes you to bring him down. The truth will out, Chris is going to save Wyatt true, but with it, he saved our marriage. By us having him and in the end, my family is back under one roof again." Piper said sternly and she swallowed hard.
"See what I mean? He wished for you and Leo to sleep together! That is disgusting, you can't deny that!" Phoebe said desperately, not wanting to alone in her anger. "Because he was desperate! If you two had just told me he would never have resorted to that. And if I find out that you had anything to do with his increasing desperation, there will be hell to pay!" she said and with that she picked up her purse and headed for the door then.
"Agreed, so that young man I assumed was trying to get rid of me, was really my son, his remark to the Valkyries. Really stands for 'till I'm ready to be around him again right now, I needed him, me, out of the way. Till he could come get me himself' and you, Phoebe, destroyed his planning." he said and she went white in fear. "He only never wanted Piper to not give up on love, and you should have flushed it down the toilet."
"Yeah sure he wanted us to bind half his powers, but it's till he's using them responsibly after the dragon incident." he said and she started shaking violently at that. "Well that answers everything we need here, but Whitelighter became elder 1 client, empathy potion, so your powers are not wrecking havoc on your trio. And finally, he saved Wyatt, by reversing the polarity turning him good again and with that in mind."
"I heard every word of that, Piper." they heard, as Leo reappeared and she smiled. "Not gone again for good, just watching over you guys, something come up, just ring me up. If something happens to him, tell me I'm coming back down I swear to that, but currently. With adult him, he grew up thinking whatever, baby him, and I know you're pregnant, I can." he said, touching her stomach and she and Paige nodded in delight then.
As they hugged him. "Not playing favorites here, he must have felt neglected right now, so he's my unborn son, my unborn baby boy came back to save our marriage. And protect Wyatt, yeah I can let go what happened here, but now it's no longer. The Sisters, his decisions now, buying the empathy blocking potion now finally. But I keep calling him kid, only now that really is true, mother witch, father whitelighter."
"It's me, it always was, we just never wanted to admit to it, because of the rules, we're pretending here was born when we were 15, had him not long into 1987." he said and she nodded then. "Yeah the rules, well we can say it with delight now, the parentage is exact, Chris came back to save him from evil." she said and he nodded. "But rather mom and aunts now, and there's why, in truth here, he bought the potion."
"Not wanting us to bust him too soon, along with Richard, but this explains why he acts like Prue, she was the one he knew and Baby knew Paige as his aunt now." he said and she nodded gently. "Phoebe, would you ever call Prue paranoid right to her face, and not after we arrested the demon, that nearly killed her by suffocation?" he asked and she went pale, realizing that was a good reason to treat her like the enemy, as Piper said it.
"How far along, 5 months, 6?" she asked and he nodded. "With you closer to the due date, you're needing to be out of the house, and my only option. Said is the nursery at the school, as he and I work through the potentials now, he and I stubborn. He looks like you, but he has too much of me inside him to do this, so calm down here. And re-examine, and that's not if we get another Fourth Horseman." he said and she nodded.
"But we need to get his stuff, we can go shopping and round up his stuff, he may think I'm not around, but it was me that chose his stuff. You're pregnant, the baby is mine, we just say the job chose the worst moment possible. Just to yank me out of town now, when we never got the test results back yet, along with the paternity test. But Chris, big Chris, is Wyatt's older brother, and we just found you're pregnant now."
"And for the third time in 17 years, we're 31, so big Chris was 16, Wyatt was last year and baby Chris, going with the name of Christian Alexander Perry now. Is due next November, if all pans out." he said and she nodded, as she grabbed her purse, and he changed into his civilian clothes. "Yeah we need to go to the registration center, and get it arranged, big Chris, our version was 16, Wyatt 1, little is age 32 for us." She said to that sternly.
"Wait, where are you going?" Paige asked in surprise then. "Yeah not that I blame you girls, I would be furious too right now, that my sister never told me immediately. That our police guard in witness protection is really my unborn son and nephew." Darryl said sternly to this and she nodded as Piper said it sternly in unison. "To go and look for my stuff for the baby I'm pregnant with!" she snapped, and slammed the door as she left and Paige nodded gently.
As Phoebe took a deep breath and looked apologetically at Paige. "Sorry I roped you into that." She said sheepishly as Paige just glared at her. "One, my issues with Chris don't seem to be any like yours, so don't you dare just automatically assume I'll back you up when you rope me into this. Secondly, if anyone has any reason to not like Chris, it's Piper, not you, so back off and leave him alone." Paige said and Phoebe rolled her eyes.
"Not you too, for goodness sake, have you and Piper suddenly forgotten everything he has done?" she said angrily to her. "No I haven't, but we aren't exactly innocent in all this, we've actually probably done worse to him than he has to us. And it seems to me that you've probably done worse to him." She said waspishly and she looked at her in shock. "What is that supposed to mean?" Phoebe said, her eyes narrowed and Paige scoffed.
"You knew two weeks before I did, and you didn't tell me and when we were trying to get him conceived, you were all too willing to give up. For god sake Phoebe, he's your nephew, no matter what he's done, he still deserves your love. And considering he is trying to save his big brother, and most likely us too, he deserves it a lot more!" Paige said and orbed away, leaving her sister standing in the hallway and Piper nodded sternly.
"I was sensing dad standing there, and he chose my favorite color of green, not realizing instead of just one, you were having two, and you decided both at once. Along with a Power Rangers forte now for us, before buying pink and that became Mellie's color. Her color was all pink, she even had Amy's power coin on the wall, as clock sized, us, we had Jason and Austin'a." he said and she nodded gently. "Well that's plenty keep it going, baby." Paige said and Piper nodded.
"That finishes my point right now, you see everything was fine till he arrived here, but nothing was, and since Cole came into the picture the last 2 years. But that's pure evil talking right now, we see as everything is fine, now that he showed up now, we have added help. We're not cutting it too close, I have my husband always here right now, Paige has a life. Separated from us, as she starts temping now, yeah everything is fine." She said and Phoebe swallowed hard then.
"It got worse, here's when my double went to talk to her, now." he said and she went pale, now realizing her arrogance, thinking everything, to her was fine now. And his arriving screwed up that new freedom, where she could relax and enjoy things. Being her own person, and she blamed him for everything wrong was getting her killed by the trio, and the Morris's now. Chris orbed into Phoebe's office, making her jump in fright as he did so, as she looked at him
