Piper was the next too come to, followed by Paige then Leo. They were all confused on where they were. The place looked familiar but they couldn’t pin point why. Piper looked around the room closely. Her gaze fell on a picture on the bedside table. She had a big grin on her face when realization hit her. They were in Chris’ room. They were back home in the present. Piper felt as if she wanted to kiss the ground, she never has been happier to be in the manor as she did at that moment.

Downstairs Chris and Ryan had fallen asleep on the couch watching the classic movie Lord of the Ring: The Return of the king. Of course in this time it’s a new blockbuster hit but in the future there are four more movies continuing from The Return of the king. Chris was awakened with a jerk when he heard a loud crash coming from upstairs. Looking down he saw that Ryan was lying on half his body. Carefully Chris slid out from under his brothers’ heavy frame. Chris shook his head and smirked there could be a nuclear explosion, and it wouldn’t disturb Ryan in his sleep.

Chris went upstairs to investigate what caused the noise. He was headed towards the attic when he heard voices coming from his room.

Chris cautiously stepped to the door; he put himself on alert in case he was caught by surprise. He turned the knob and looked inside carefully. It took everything in him not burst out in laughter. There in front of him on the floor in a heap was his mom, dad, and aunts.

Chris opened the door all they way and leaned against the doorframe. He put on his famous smirk and waited to be acknowledged.

It took a while for the sisters and Leo to pick themselves up from the floor. Dusting herself off she glared over at her two sisters. “You know you two really need to go on a diet.” Piper just rolled her eyes and pointed to her stomach. Phoebe nodded and looked at Paige. “Okay so what’s your excuse?” Paige just stuck her tongue out at her.

Chris no longer being able to keep it in any longer, he busted out in uncontrollable laughter. They all whipped their heads around where they saw Chris trying to keep himself from falling on the floor.

Piper stepped over to him and put her hands on her hips and tried to look menacing. “And what may I ask is so funny mister.” That only fueled Chris’ laughter. Piper could only smile at her son; she couldn’t believe that this was the first time she ever heard him truly laugh.

Ryan waking from his spot on the couch looked around for Chris, when he didn’t see him in the kitchen he called out for him. When he didn’t receive an answer he decided to go check the attic considering that was were his brother always was. When he orbed to the attic he didn’t see Chris, he started to get worried until he heard laughter coming from downstairs.

What he came across almost brought him to laughter. There was his mother trying to look menacing, while Chris was in a fit of laughter. Ryan looked from his brother and mother. “Did I miss something?” Paige taking it upon herself to tell the story of their adventure spoke up. “Well you see one minute we were looking at one of Chris’ memories then the next thing I knew “Tila the Hun” over there was on top of me.” Hearing this Chris just laughed harder, he was actually amazed he never in his entire life laughed this hard. Ryan was thinking the same thing as he watched his brother, soon after he joined in.

After a while Chris walked over to his mother and gave her a hug, trying to control himself. “Sorry mom but when Aunt Paige puts it that way I just couldn’t help myself.” Piper tried to look angry but she didn’t have the heart Chris’ smile was contagious. She just kissed him on his cheek and ruffled his hair.

But of course Ryan being Ryan broke up the special moment with his stomach. Everyone looked at him, Ryan looked back at them with a “what” look. “Hey what can I say I’m a growing boy!” Chris just shook his head and put his brother in a headlock. “Come on I can make more pizza.” Ryan beamed and looked at his family. “You’ve never had pizza until you tasted Chris’.”

Once again shocked by another one of Chris’ abilities they all hurried to the kitchen before Ryan ate all the food. It only took ten minutes for Chris’ to whip up pizza with everything hold the anchovies. The only sound coming from the table was moans of delight. Chris couldn’t figure who packed more pizza in Ryan or his mother.

Chris sat back and watched his family interact this was something he had done on numerous occasions. This is what he missed all these years the laughter and love from his family. He was excited and happy, but he couldn’t get this nagging feeling that something bad was going to happen. He sighed maybe he was just taking past experiences and bringing them to the now.

*Oh yea they’re defiantly going to want to talk about all what they saw. They haven’t been giving me any weird looks. They probably giving me a chance to come to terms with the fact they know. Yea they are defiantly going want to talk about it tomorrow. *

Leo looked at his son, it broke his heart to see all that he went through it felt even worse that he was the one to put him in that predicament.

*If I could get a hold of me in his time I would make him suffer for hurting Chris. How could I betray my son like that? God no wonder he hates me. God Chris I promise I will never hurt you like that. You’re my heart and soul and I love you. Yea that’s all great Leo but how are you going to tell Chris that. *

Leo looked thoughtful at Chris. Chris feeling that someone was watching him looked up and searched the table and locked eyes with his father. He really didn’t hate Leo well at least not the one from this time, but the truth is that he didn’t hate the Leo from his time either he just wanted to know what he did wrong to cause Leo to hurt him so bad. Leo looked at Chris and sighed when he turned away.

*I will make it up to you, and I know just the way to do it too. *

After dinner they talked Chris out of doing the dishes, since he made dinner and they all retired to the living room to watch a movie. Half way through it Ryan and Chris was out like a light. First Phoebe went to bed, soon followed by Paige. The only ones left in the living room were Ryan and Chris who were sleeping and Piper and Leo who were watching their two sons sleep. It still felt weird to watch two of their children who they haven’t even had yet be right there in front of them.

Piper turned to face Leo she looked deep in his eyes, leaned in and kissed him passionately. Leo a little shocked looked at Piper questionably “What was that for?” Piper smiled softly. “For being a loving husband, friend and father.” Leo looked at her as if she had lost her mind. “How can you say that you saw what I did to him, I was a horrible father.” Piper shook her head in disagreement. “No you are a wonderful father, and what happened in his future you can change besides he’s here now you should get to know him.” “But what if he doesn’t want to get to know me.”

Before Piper could answer Chris interrupted. “I’ll be willing if you are.” They both turned around and looked at him Leo smiled. “I thought you were sleeping.” “I was but you see these two parents I have started talking and it woke me up. I’m the light sleeper in the family. As you can see yogi over here could sleep through world domination.” Piper and Leo let out a little laugh. “Well I believe it’s time for Ryan and I retired to our rooms so you two can have some privacy.” With that Chris orbed himself and Ryan upstairs.

“Finally by ourselves.” Piper said dramatically. Leo smiled since he became an elder he had missed these times with Piper. It hurt him deeply every time he saw Piper with someone else or he had to leave after a quick visit. “I’ve missed you so much Piper, I’ve missed this whole family. I can’t tell how much it hurt me to leave you, Wyatt, and your sisters.” Piper put her finger to Leos’ lips and shook her head. “Oh I know how much it hurt because I felt the same way.” “I promise I will never leave you ever again.” Piper shook her head and looked down in her hands. “Don’t make a promise you can’t keep, you’re an elder now no matter how much you or I hate it you can’t change that and I understand that really I do. I also know that I love you and even if you’re right across the room or up there I will never stop. You will always be my husband nothing will change that. We have overcome many obstacles this is just another one. If you want we can try to make this work.” Leo had tears of happiness in his eyes; he took Pipers’ chin and raised her head to look at him. “Nothing will make me happier.” With that they both leaned into each other and kissed as if it was their first. The kiss was interrupted when they heard a round of aww’s coming from behind them.

When they turned around Phoebe, Paige, Chris and Ryan were watching from the staircase. Everyone had a big grin on his or her faces. Piper looked at each one and with a stern look said, “Excuse me haven’t you heard of a little privacy.” Phoebe laughed. “Privacy you want Privacy go to your bed room besides couldn’t sleep so we decided to come down here and watch TV.” Piper scowled at her sister. “Well there’s the TV.” Chris this time decided to speak up. “Yea we know but you’re more interesting.”

They all spent the whole night laughing and watching TV. They all knew that they didn’t touch base on the memories that they saw but they decided they could do that tomorrow tonight were time for them to bond.

The next morning Chris had prepared a gourmet breakfast like usual everyone ate with enthusiasm. Everyone made small chit chat while having breakfast knowing that after they were done they would be touching on subjects that would leave everyone emotionally drained.

After breakfast they all went into the living room. Chris sat with Ryan on the loveseat, while piper and Leo sat on the couch, and on either side of them sat Phoebe and Paige.

Chris took a deep breath. “So what do you want to know about first?” Piper deciding to go first cleared her throat. “Umm where was Ryan the whole time. Wyatt always mentioned that you two would be the ultimate power but wouldn’t that be if you had Ryan.”

“Oh well when I walked in and found you all dead I thought Ryan was too but he wasn’t he was just knocked out cold. I called Darryl and Grandpa. They both helped me come up with a plan to keep Ryan hidden from Wyatt.” They all nodded the Phoebe thought of a question. “Why are most of your powers bound?” Chris’ face fell into a sad frown. “Well somehow you thought I was misusing my powers so you bound them, well you left me with a few so I could defend myself.” Leo was the next to ask a question. “So what are your other powers?” “To tell you the truth I really don’t know, they probably defiantly grown with me besides when you did it I was pretty young so I don’t remember all of them.

Paige always being the one coming up with ill-humored jokes at the inappropriate times. “So you have a boyfriend?” Chris blushed a deep shade of red. “Umm yea I do or did umm at the moment I don’t know what I have. While you guys were alive I had a boyfriend but I never told you the only ones who knew were Ryan and Wyatt.” In a small voice Piper asked a question that has been burning inside her since she got back. “When did you notice Wyatt start to change?” Chris looked at Ryan. “Well at first it was just little things like he would one minute be happy the next he was angry. Or if he lost at something he would make the other person pay dearly. But when I really knew is when I came home and found you all dead.”

Piper closed her eyes tightly when she heard the answer. Chris waited for the difficult questions to start. You could touch the tension in the room with a knife. Leo spoke up he really wanted to make Chris understand that he would never do what the Leo from his time did to him. “Chris I love you me the Leo from this time. I can’t tell you why I did or that Leo did what he did. All I can say is that I will make sure that you never go through that again. I would never hurt you intentionally. You are my son and I’m very proud of you.” Chris shook his head he had tears in his eyes but he wouldn’t let them fall.

“How could you love me or be proud of me after what you saw happened to me.’ Ryan closed his eyes as tears fell from them her was ringing his hand tightly he hated Wyatt for doing what he did to Chris. Piper, Leo, Phoebe, and Paige all went over to Chris and hugged him. Piper took Chris’ chin and made him look at her. “Now you listen to me and you listen good nothing that happened to you was your fault you understand. You can’t not blame your self for what Wyatt and that sick bastard did to you.” Chris looked at his mom then at the rest of his family they were all nodding in agreement.

Phoebe could sense the emotions coming off of Chris she was really concerned and it showed on her face. She thought over all the memories that they were shown something wasn’t right about them. She couldn’t figure out what it was. By now Chris was explaining the first time Knossos raped him everyone had tears coming down their faces. When Phoebe looked at Chris she didn’t see any tears. Then realization hit that what was wrong in all the memories Chris never cried. Putting a hand on his shoulder Phoebe looked at Chris. “Chris when was the last time you cried?”

Chris looked at his aunt with confusion. “What do you mean?” “I mean that while we being shown your memories not once did you cry why?” Chris shook his head. “Because I’m supposed to be strong I had to be strong for Ryan, and I wanted to save Wyatt there was no time for me to feel sorry for myself besides I believed that everything that happened to me was my own fault.”

Phoebe looked down at her nephew he had such a tortured soul and it was all because of a person who was supposed to love him and protect him. “Chris you don’t have to be strong for everybody sometimes its good to let someone be strong for you. The things that happened to you were wrong no one should ever be put through what you went through. But it wasn’t your fault you never did one thing to deserve what happened to you.”

Before Phoebe could say anything else a voice coming from the staircase broke in. “She’s right what happened to you wasn’t your fault.”

Everyone turned towards the staircase and stared in shock. Chris couldn’t believe it. “But how could this be?”
