Charmed Without A Choice

[~*Alicia*~]

Leo took little Chris and smiled at the oldder one. Old Chris then looked to the floor, not returning the smile. Leo then walked over to little Chris' room and put him to bed. He tucked him in and smiled. Old Chris stood in the attic looking at the floor, he could feel everyone's eyes on him.

Piper looked at Jake orbing out and smiled. "Did it" She stated and smiled. She then looked at Paige, holding Melinda. Piper walked up next to old Chris, and placed her arm around him. "It's alright" She said and Chris looked at his mother. "No, it's not" He said and let go of her.

Future Phoebe looked at everyone in the room. "Look, I can not tell you everything, but all I can tell you is that Jake is a Halliwell but he does not know that, he is powerful and he needs us to take care of him. Now, the reason why he and I are here is because we have demons after Piper and we really need to get rid of them" She said and past Piper looked at her. "Wait, if you come from the future you know who is after Wyatt, right?" Piper asked now interested in Phoebe.

Past Chris looked at Jake and smiled. "I know and I really want to go eavesdrop but I can't because they'd go ballistic on me" Chris stated.

[jakehalliwell]

Future Paige smiled softly at Chris. "You need to realise that this is the real future Chris, you may not be able to accept it yet, but please try to understand that this will be your future, it is your future" she stated.

Little Chris yawned and slowly looked up at Leo and smiled slowly and kissed Leo's forehead. "Love you daddy" he said softly as he closed his eyes and yawned gently.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Forget it guys, she is more then likley to pull that future consequence thing on us, we may hate it, but it is there for a reason" stated Past Phoebe and Past Paige rolled her eyes. "Introduction Phoebe, president of the Chris fan club"

"Oh come on Chris, where is your sense of adventure?" demanded Jake as he folded his arms. "Come on, besides, we might as well do something while we are here."

[~*Alicia*~]

Chris looked at Paige and gave a slight smile. "This may be my future but still" He said and looked at everyone in the room. "You wouldn't get it" He stated and looked away, he then orbed to the kitchen and looked around him. He then took out some juice from the fridge and poured it inside his glass.

Leo looked at little Chris and smiled. "I love you too" He said and tucked Chris into his bed. He then kissed Chris's forehead. "Have sweet dreams" He said and smiled at little Chris, he stayed in the room until little Chris was fully asleep.
____________________________________________________

Future Phoebe giggled at Paige. She then remembered how Chris hid from them who he really was. "Well, I am sure you will one day and also you, Piper" She stated and looked at everyone in the room. She smiled. "Don't worry, Piper. Wyatt is fine" Future Phoebe stated and past Piper looked at her, curiously.

Chris looked at Jake. "Jake, I am not sure of why are you here, but right now I am not in the mood of gettinh lectured at" Chris stated and looked at Jake, he seemed really tired.

[jakehalliwell]

Future Paige smiled sadly and looked at Big Chris and turned to Past Piper. "You holding up okay?" she asked as she sat down on the couch and helped Past Piper down as well, knowing it was getting hard soon since she was pregnant. Little Chris finally fell asleep and enjoyed his pleasent dreams.

Little Jake ran down the stairs in a small blue bathrobe and skidded into the kitchen and looked at Chris. "Gotta hide me from mommy and daddy! They want me to go to sleep!" he said and quickly ran behind Chris and hid behind his foot.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jake frowned an eyed him suspiously. "You are tired, sit. Now" he commanded and took Chris by the hand and placed him ont the living room couch. "Lay down and rest, I'll get you something to drink" he stated.


"Can't you give us more of a hint? Besides, can't you even tell us why Jake doesn't know he is a Halliwell...did something happen?"

[~*Alicia*~]

Leo looked at little Chris and smiled, he then stood by the door frame for a while, he was smiling and all happy. Piper looked at future Paige and sighed. "It is just hard with Chris and everything, I mean, Chris is so hard to get through sometimes and apparently so is Jake." She said and sighed once again. "I am starting to wonder if things will ever be ok" Piper said and relied on Paige's shoulder.

Chris looked at little Jake and smiled at him. He then picked him up and held him. "Hey, little fellow" He said and smiled at him.
____________________________________________________

Past Chris looked at Jake and sat down, he then looked at him. "I am going with you" He stated, fearing that Jake will go and eavesdrop on what they were saying in the attic.

Phoebe looked at everyone in the room. "I can not tell you that" She said and then looked at everyone. "What part of future consequences can't you get?" She asked.

[jakehalliwell]

"Piper, relax, this IS your future, a future where you and Leo are happily together and might I say, can barely keep your hands off each other, Phoebe and I are married, your kids adore you and Leo and we have a low amount of demons to handle, everything will be fine, besides, Chris just needs to get used to the fact that he helped change the future, just give him time" smiled Future Paige.


Little Jake giggled as he was picked up and pointed at Chris. "You got daddy's eyes, just like Chris!" he stated, not knowing that this was actually Chris.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------


"Oh no you don't mister, you are resting, relax, I won't eavesedrop" he sighed and slowly walked into the kitchen and began to get some juice for Chris, wondering just what the others would be talking about.


"You have been hanging around Chris way too much missy!" accued Past Paige to Future Phoebe and Past Phoebe held her hands up. "Okay, we need to calm down, Leo, you go check on Jake and Chris" stated Past Phoebe and Past Paige gave a confused look. "Why Leo?"

"Because I am guessing with Piper's stubborness and her power, he is going to be one of hers and we need Piper up here since she has the most fire power" stated Past Phoebe.

[~*Alicia*~]

Piper smiled at future Paige. "You know, years have made you wiser" She stated and then giggled. At the same moment Leo walked into the room. He had a big smile on his face. Piper looked at him. "Looks like it all went well with little Chris" She said and Leo sat down next to her. "It did" He said and his smile grew bigger.

Chris looked at little Jake and smiled. "And you got your mommy's eyes" Chris said and giggled. He knew Jake was too little to understand what was going on.
____________________________________________________

Past Chris looked everywhere around him, he now was more stressed out and nervous than ever.

Past Leo looked at past Phoebe and nodded. He then left the room. Past Piper sighed and watched as Leo left the room. She then looked at future Phoebe. "This better be good" She said and looked at her sisters, past and future ones. "And this better have a good explanation" She then stated.

[jakehalliwell]

Paige rolled her eyes and playfully slapped her arm. "Yeah well, you have become more optimistic in the future, so ha!" she stated and playfully stuck her tongue out and smiled as she saw Leo. "If that smile gets any bigger I think your face might crack" she said playfully but smiled. "He loves you Leo, they all do" she stated.


"Uh huh - But you got Mommy's hair!" he stated and his small fingers ran through Chris's hair and he giggled and his eyes widened when he heard footsteps coming from upstairs. "Mommy and Daddy are coming! I don't wanna go to bed!" he stated and hopped out of Chris's arms and began to run randomly through the manor.


------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Jake returned with some orange juice and handed it to Past Chris. "Here, drink it" he said softly and sat on the edge of the couch. "You shouldn't worry so much Chris. Everything will be okay."

"So basically we are looking for any demon that could be after Piper?" asked Past Paige and Past Phoebe paused. "Well, my future self has lived all of this, so if anything is different, she will know and we can work from there.."

[~*Alicia*~]

Piper looked at Paige and then at Leo. "Yeah, I know that deep down inside, I correct myself, way deep down inside the Chris we know loves you" Piper said and Leo smiled at her. "I know that, it is just that he is a handful sometimes" Leo said and looked at Piper. "He got his mother's character" He added and Piper smiled at him. "Yeah, I am glad he did" She said and giggled.

Chris looked at Jake and smiled as his fingers ran through his hair. When he heard the footsteps he watched as Jake started to run and he quickly looked at the kicthen door, waiting for his parents to come in and find him there.
____________________________________________________

Past Chris looked at Jake and messed with his hair. "I know it will" He said and smiled at him. Leo walked into the room they were. He looked at past Chris. "Are you alright?" He said and past Chris didn't answer him.

Phoebe looked at her past self and nodded. "She is right" Phoebe stated and past Piper looked at her. "Well having a demon after me, one of the Charmed Ones. How hard is that to see?" Past Piper stated and looked at future Phoebe.

[jakehalliwell]

"Oh please, what Halliwell isn't a handful, besides, we aren't half as fun if we aren't" stated Future Paige and Prue raised an eyebrow in amusement. "Wise words sis, so where is the rest of the family?" asked Prue and Future Paige smiled. "Well I believe Leo and Piper should be back by now" she stated.

The kitchen door opened and Future Piper walked in, she looked just as beautiful as ever, a few grey hairs and a wrinkle or two forming but her beaty was still in tact. Her eyes widened as she saw Chris. "Chris....you....I.....we....you were....I was....." she stated, eyes wide at seeing her son fully grown...again.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Jake rolled his eyes and stuck his tongue out. "No ruffling of the hair" he stated playfully, but when Leo came down, he frowned. "Shouldn't you be upstairs keeping down the three wicked witches of the manor?" he snorted, clearly not impressed with the past sisters views.


"Well the demon would be new to this timeline, so I guess we should scry for unusual demonic activity in the area."

[~*Alicia*~]

Piper looked at future Paige and then heard that her future self was probably back. She was dying to see how did she look like. Leo just looked at Piper. "I am sure you look great" He said as if he could read Piper's mind. Piper smiled at him. "I know that" She said and gave him a peck on the cheek.

Chris looked at future Piper and gave a nervous giggle. "Well, mom. You'll see, I am here for a reason" He said and rubbed his hand against his neck.
____________________________________________________

Past Leo looked at Jake and then at past Chris. "I should but they sent me here" Leo stated and looked at past Chris. "And you and I still have a talk left" He said and past Chris looked at him. "I have nothing to talk to you about, Leo" past Chris said and Leo looked at him with fierce eyes. It looked as he did not trust past Chris.

[jakehalliwell]

"Oh no you don't mister, I want a real answer then that!" stated Future Piper and dragged Chris by the arm into the living room, only to widen her etes at seeing her past self and looked at Future Paige. "Paige, mind telling me why my past self and husband are sitting here?" she asked and Future Paige waved it off and shrugged. "Eh, I would but your sons kept me up all night so, consider this my revenge" she smirked playfully.

Suddenly, the front door opened and Billie walked in. "Hey Piper, sorry I am a little late, traffic was-" she stated but froze when she saw Past Piper and Past Leo and Past Prue. Past Prue was more then a little shock and turned to Future Piper who had her gaze lowered slightly.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Jake felt his own fist clenching and his own fierce eyes turned to Leo. "Leo, you have two choices, either you go back up stairs and shut up or I can blow your Elder ass into another dimension, either way, if Chris doesn't want to talk, he doesn't talk, so quit your whinning and just grow up" he snapped, fire burning in his eyes as he spoke.

[~*Alicia*~]

Chris looked at future Piper. "No, mom. Wait" He said as he was dragged down to the living room. He saw Piper and Leo there and he lowered his gaze. Piper just looked at her future self and opened her mouth in shock mode. Leo just looked at future Piper and then at Chris, who was looking at the floor. When Billy walked in, Piper was now more surprised than ever. "Alright, can somebody explain me what's going on here?" She said and looked at Billie.

Leo just looked at everyone in the room and then looked at Piper. "That's not the reason why we are here, honey" He said and smiled at her. Piper just looked at him. "You shut up and let them explain" She said and Leo just looked at her, she sounded quite upset, and of course she was wondering what was Billie doing in the manor?
____________________________________________________

Wyatt was in the attic, flicking through the Book. He was all alone up there. When he suddenly looked around him. He realized something was wrong.
____________________________________________________

Past Leo looked at Jake and nodded. "You can blow me up how many times you want" He said and Chris suddenly got up. "Jake, just relax, it's alright" Chris stated and looked at Leo, he knew that if Leo died he was not going to exist.

[jakehalliwell]

Future Piper stared at her past self and at Leo and sighed softly and looked at Future Billie. "Billie, could you go grab Melinda and Jake and take them - I think I am going to have my hands full today" she stated and Billie slowly nodded and quickly walked towards the kitchen, not wanting even to look at Past Piper ot Past Leo right now.

"Okay first of all, I think the reason why Billie here is obvious and I don't think I need to go in any detail-"


"Piper, I think you do, I thought you didn't even trust her?" frowned Prue and Future Piper sent her a warning glare. "People change Prue, so did my opinoin. Now zip it"

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Jake frowned and muttered something about Leo's personality and sat on the couch and folded his arms, getting ready to blow Leo up or at least freeze him if he got out of hand.


"Fine, but make Chris uncomfortable and your ORBS are grass" he stated before looking away as he sat on the couch, arms folded stubbornly.

[~*Alicia*~]

Piper looked at her future self and then at future Billie leave the room. Leo looked at her and sighed. "Piper, relax. Things have change" Leo said and looked at her. Piper just limited to look at him and then at her future self. "What are you thinking about?" She said and Chris just looked at both Pipers.

"This is not the point here" Chris said and Piper looked at him. "The point here is Jake and how to save him, and the fact that there are demons after him. Now if you want to stay here and discuss why Billie is here, I am fine with it. But I will be in the attic doing some potions to help my brother" He said and orbed to the attic.
____________________________________________________

Wyatt looked all around the attic and suddenly was thrown across the air. He then saw two demons there. "Where is Jake?" One of them said.
____________________________________________________

Phoebe looked at her sisters and past self and sighed. "Well, guys we better get down there before Jake blows Leo up." Phoebe said, switching subject after an awkard silence.

Chris just looked at Jake and then at Leo. "So, how are things?"He asked Jake.

[jakehalliwell]

Future Piper was about to open her mouth but Future Paige beat it to it. "Look Piper, I get that you are not Billie's number one fan right now, but she is a good kid and she has helped as more times then you can count and to be quiet honest, we are to blame as much as her with the whole Christy thing" stated Paige before pausing, sensing Wyatt's need for help and immediatly orbed to the attic.

"Wyatt" stated Prue in fear, having sensed it as well and she took Piper and Leo's hand and quickly orbed to the attic. Paige quickly held her hand out and called for the candle stick as it was sent flying and stuck right through one of the demons and he burts into flames. Yet there was still another to go and the chaos had caused Little Jake to curiously walk into the attic.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Fine, come on" sighed Past Paige and she began to walk downstairs and headed towards the living room with Past Phoebe in toe.


Jake frowned and looked away. "Oh I am just peachy, life is just one bundle of joy and now I have to be stuck in the passed with Leo McKiss The Elders Ass" he grumbled and looked at the wall.

[~*Alicia*~]

(Wasn't Wyatt in the present? I though that only Prue, Piper, Leo and Chris went to the future and Phoebe and Jake to the past)

[jakehalliwell]

(Oh, I thought you meant Wyatt as in the future Wyatt, lemme edit.)

Future Piper was about to open her mouth but Future Paige beat it to it. "Look Piper, I get that you are not Billie's number one fan right now, but she is a good kid and she has helped as more times then you can count and to be quiet honest, we are to blame as much as her with the whole Christy thing" stated Paige before orbing into the attic to help Chris. "So what we looking for kiddo?"

Billie was in the dinning room, getting little Melinda and little Jake ready to go outside. "Okay, you guys ready?" she smiled and the twins nodded quickly.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Present Paige heared the crash and quickly orbed into the attic and her eyes widened. "Wyatt get down!" she cried and Melinda ran in and quickly held her hand out as one of the demons aimed a fireball and she deflected it into the wall.


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Fine, come on" sighed Past Paige and she began to walk downstairs and headed towards the living room with Past Phoebe in toe.


Jake frowned and looked away. "Oh I am just peachy, life is just one bundle of joy and now I have to be stuck in the passed with Leo McKiss The Elders Ass" he grumbled and looked at the wall.

[~*Alicia*~]

(Oh, alright)

Chris just looked at future Paige and smiled. "Well, so far nothing. I just wanted to get out of there. Not exactly in hear fight mode." He stated and started to flick the pages of the Book rapidly, he seemed nervous.

Piper looked at her future self and sighed. "Paige is right, issue not worth fighting for. I may have a reason of trusting her in the future, right?" She said and Leo smiled at her. "I am confident you do, honey" He said.
____________________________________________________

Wyatt just looked at Melinda and then got up. He then got a potion that was in the table but both demons shimered out. He then looked at Melinda and Paige. "They were after Jake" He said as he saw tha mark the fireball made on the wall.
____________________________________________________

Past Leo was about to say something when he saw Phoebe and past Phoebe, along with Past Piper and past Paige walking towards them. "hey" Past Piper said and looked at Chris and Jake. "How are things going?" She said and past Chris looked at her and also looked away.

"Apparently, not so good." Future Phoebe whispered to herself.

[jakehalliwell]

Future Paige smiled softly and nodded. "Yeah I know, but they are just finding it hard to adjust, I guess Billie being here did not help...but you have to understand Chris...what happened to Billie...well...it wasn't fair and she tries really hard...to make it better."

"So, any clue on any possible demons?"

Billie slowly walked through the hallway with Jake and Melinda, avoiding Piper's gaze as she opened the front door.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


"Oh things are just peachy, find out who the demon could be?" asked Jake and he frowned and Past Phoebe's shake of the head. "Great, I get to spend even more tim here, fan-freaking-tastic."
