Also,I know Paige's temp job doesn't seem too real..Piper doesn't know that Big Chris is dead.
I also changed the title..
Diclaimer-I Do NOT Own Charmed!!

Teaser
The weather was horrible. It had been like this for weeks now. The sky remained gray and dull,with no signs of life. The thunder crackle mercilessly. The wind blew and crackle. Everyone was a little annoyed at the weather,but all of them knew it was Mother Nature's doing,so they just went along with it.
Meanwhile at the Halliwell Manor.....
----Chris's Nursey/Room----
The room was decorated with blue wallpaper. In front of the window lay Baby Chris's white crib. In one corner was a brown drawer that contain baby stuff like diapers..etc. In another lay a rocking chair and the closet was filled with baby clothes. Some were Wyatt's.
Right now,Phoebe was babysitting Wyatt and Chris. Piper went to P3 (After many urges from Phoebe that Piper needed to see the world again) and Paige was trying out the temp jobs again. Leo was Up There still fighting his case on killing Gideon. Wyatt was innocently playing with blocks.
"You are adorable!!"Phoebe cooed. She was hugging Baby Chris at the moment.
To any casual bystander,it would seem that Baby Chris was desprately trying to break free of his Aunt's grip with his feeble fingers. But to Phoebe,Baby Chris was hugging him.
"Oh yes you are..Oh yes you are!!"
"Aunty!!"Wyatt shouted suddenly.
Phoebe turned around and her first reaction would have been to say "Aww!!You called me Aunty!!", but it turned out that a human looking man demon with a green thumb had shimmered behind Phoebe.
Phoebe kicked the demon and tried not to use her hands (She was holding a baby,afterall !).
The demon gave away a small growl and tried to grab Wyatt.
Wyatt blinked and the demon exploded.
"Good boy,Wyatt!!"Phoebe cooed to Wyatt.
Baby Chris started crying.
"Oh!It's time for your nap!!" Phoebe remembered. She placed baby Chris gently back into his crib."Wyatt,would you like some ice-cream?"
Wyatt tilted his head alittle as if to say "What are you,nuts?It's raining!". But instead,he pointed to the window and said "Many Rain."
"I know.."Phoebe said,kneeling down next to Wyatt. "Isn't the weather strange?Here,let me help you alphabetize your blocks."
The thunder boomed very loudly. So hard that the power went out. Baby Chris started wailing.
"Oh great..Just great.."Phoebe muttered to herself,getting up. "Well,I'm no good at fixing things..And Chris is crying.."
She walked over to the crib and pulled the string on his toy bear. A soft lullaby starting playing,calming him down alittle.
"Now to fix the light." Phoebe murmured. She grabbed Wyatt's hands and whispered."Let's let your baby brother sleep while we fixed the light.."
-----Kitchen-----
As Phoebe and Wyatt walk down the the kitchen,Leo orbed in front of them.
"Leo!!!"Phoebe exclaimed."You're back!!"
"I know.And I have some news...That everyone should hear."he said.
Wyatt walk towards Leo,hugging his leg.
"Awww!!That is SO Cute!"Phoebe cooed again.
"Phoebe."Leo said a little bit sternly. "This is serious."
"Oh I see..I'll call Paige.And you get Piper."Phoebe said,getting the phone.
------Paige's Temp Job----
"When I said I wanted to help people,this was not what I had in mind!!"Paige muttered quietly,refilling the slushie machine at the local deli. "Although I must admit,the pay's not bad."
She had desprately wanted to go back on to the Temp Job routine,but in her haste,she picked any card. She had chosen refilling the slushie machine for two dollars every minute she was there. She had been here for over 2 hour now and the slushie refilling was not going well. The downside was that the chunky special was taking over forty minutes and she was crouching. One tiny piece of good news was that since it was raining,noone dare to come out to drink away her hard to refill slushie.
Suddenly,Paige's cellphone went off. She quickly picked it up and heard Phoebe on the other line.
"I'll be right there."Paige replyed,closing the cellphone.
"What do you mean,you are gonna go??" The manager asked,having obviously overhearing what Paige said.
"Look.It's a family emergency.Besides,that slushie machine won't be filled up for another hour,I would say."Paige replyed,giving her new surly boss a look."And since it's raining...Noone will need slushie."
"This better not happen often!"The manager growled.
Paige waved goodbye and left the stored. As soon as she was outside,she orbed out,not noticing that a women saw her.
That women was Officer Sheridan.
What was worse was that she had been holding a video camera.

Chapter 1
-----Halliwell Manor (Sitting Room)----
Leo had fixed the light. Everyone is waiting for Paige. Wyatt was taking a nap in his playpen.
"Leo,why don't you tell us now?",Piper asked,sweetly.
Phoebe looked the other way. Piper thought that Big Chris went back into the future. She didn't want to ruin Piper's moment by accidentally blurt out to Piper about Big Chris..About how he..
She stared out the window. The weather was still horrible.
----Inspecter Sheridan's Office------
The station was empty. It was as if the rain and the thunder was casting a keep away spell.Officer Sheridan,leaning on her chair was paying her tape of Paige orbing over and over.
"This is amazing!"Sheridan exclaimed. "Is this what Morris was covering up?"
She glanced at her watch and smiled.
Her meeting with Morris was just about to start.
------Halliwell Manor (Sitting Room)----
Paige orbed in,wet.
"About time."muttered Phoebe.
"Alright..What is the big news?",Paige asked.
"It's about my punishment for killing Gideon.",Leo replyed.
This caught everyone's attention,including Wyatt's. He started to wake up.
Paige sat down in a blue chair next to Piper.
"The Elders decided that since I killed Gideon,I will be facing the worse punishment imaginable to a whitelighter.",Leo said.
"Oh no!",Piper exclaimed fearfully,standing up."Are they going to send your soul back to earth for recycling?!?"
"They considered that..But some wanted my soul to be erase..Others took sympathy,saying they understood how it felt to be a father.."Leo said."At the end-"
"Oh no!!"Piper blurted out.
"Let him finish!"Paige exclaimed.
"They decided that my whitelighter status shall be the same..Only.."
This was it. Phoebe thought nervously.
"I can't help any other charges except for you."Leo said sadly.
"Well,that's great news!"Piper said,happily,hugging Leo.
"What about being an Elder?"Phoebe asked.
"I'm not an Elder anymore. Altought some Elders invited me to occasionally have meetings with them."
"What about the new headmaster for Magic School?",Paige asled.
"They haven't decided that yet."
Piper started to head out of the room.
"Where are you going?"Leo asked.
"I'm making a big dinner!!"Piper said,happily,exiting.
"Careful now,more attidude like that and I would have thought we were back in that messed up world."Phoebe joked.
Leo and Paige were deathly silent. This brought them painful memories about Chris's death.
"Oh,a demon attack us."Phoebe said,breaking the silence.
"How did it looks like?"Paige asked.
"It had a green thumb. And it looked human."Phoebe replyed."It was male."
"Well,we'd better get started."Leo answered,picking up the waken Wyatt.
"Good to have ya back."Paige said,smiling.
-----Inspecter Sheridan's Office------
Darryl Morris,the officer who no longer helped the sisters,arrived late. The heavy rain had caused its weight in traffic.
"What it is it now,Sheridan?"Darryl asked,suspicious."You and I aren't eactly good friends."
"Oh..It's just that I know about the Halliwells."said Inspecter Sheridan.
"What do you mean?"Darryl asked,trying to keep his voice steady.
Even though he refused to help the sisters,mostly because he was starting to hate them,he knew that magic in the wrong hands was dangerous. If Sheridan knew about the sisters,lives would be in danger. Darryl didn't know whether Sheridan was on their side,or on the side of greed.
"I know that they are-"
Darryl gulped.
She dropped her voice down to a whisper. "Aliens,but don't worry, I'm a believer."
Darryl laughed and cleared his throat when he realized that she wasn't kidding.
"Do you have proof?"Darryl asked.
"Proof?Of course!"
She played the tape which showed Paige orbed.
"How do I know that you aren't just a really good film editor?"
"See that?"she asked,pointing at Paige's high heel shoes."It looks to be a teleportation device!"
"Or they could just be shoes.."
"You should have told me before,Morris,I would have gone easier on you.Especially on that Chris kid."
"I..didn't know.."Darryl said,trying to stop himself from laughing again.
"Maybe they used their mind controlling tentacles to controll you."
"Uh..ok..What are you planning to do with that information?"
"What else? I may be a believer,but I'm no idiot. I'm gonna expose them.For money of course!"She said. "And if I were you,I would drop the Chris charges.You never no what aliens can do."
"Of course.."Darrly said,walking over to his desk and ripping up the file up.
The only reason he had been so reluctant was because of Sheridan.He didn't want to cause suspicion.
"Do you want to hunt some aliens down?"Sheridan asked,referring to the girls.
"I'm not a Alien believer..."Darryl said.
"Your lost."Sheridan replyed,coldly,leaving the station.
"This inspector is crazy!"Darryl muttered,leaving as well.
On the way home,the only thing that kept him from warning the sisters was his memory of almost dieing and the words "Sheridan must be crazy..She can't actually catch the Halliwells...Because they aren't aliens.."
----Chris's Room----
Baby Chris rolled over in his crib,sleeping softly.
Suddenly,a demon with a long black robe blinked in,his dark green skin was leathery looking.
"Ahhh...One of the two sons of the Charmed Ones..."he whispered.
He took out a very long needle.
"His blood shall become the perfect.."
Baby Chris woke up and saw a giant needle coming close to him. He did the only thing could do. Cry loudly.
Caught off by this,the demon sloppily jabbed Baby Chris's toy musical bear.Thinking,he had the blood,he blinked out.
BOOM!! The thunder crackle.
Piper ran in the room and picked up Baby Chris.
"What's the matter?"she asked."Did you get scared because of thunder?"
Piper saw the bear.
"What happened to your bear?!?"Piper asked,seeing the giant hole.
The bear's stuffing was coming quickly.
What happened to that? Piper thought. Chris couldn't have! He's..just a baby! A demon could have shimmered in..but I don't think that it could have done that! But Phoebe said something about a demon appearing before...
"That's it.I'm not letting you out of my sight until we figure this out."Piper said,going to the attic holding Baby Chris.
-----Attic-----
The two sisters were flipping through the book with Leo behind them. Wyatt's playpen (including Wyatt) was up in the attic now,thanks to Paige.
"There is nothing about a demon with a green thumb!"Paige exclaimed,flipping through the book.
"There's sometihng about a king who did.."Leo said.
"There's the demon!"Phoebe said,pointing to demon she saw. "Klickory,the demon of metal."
"But it doesn't have a green thumb!"Paige noted.
"And it said that your Grams vanqushed it years ago."Leo included,pointing at the bold print.
Piper entered with Baby Chris.
"There's a bear in Chris's room with a giant hole inside."Piper said.
"What?"Phoebe asked,confused.
"Alright."Paige said."It's offical."
"We're lost."Leo said grimly.
And the weird thing was.
This was the first time ever.

Author's Note-If you read my other fan fic,The Destiny to Acknowelegde,I just want you to know that the next chapter will be out next week.. As for this story,ENJOY!!
Disclaimer-I don't own Charmed..If I did..This woul actually be a real episode..And since I got alittle bit off topic..Let me remind you..I DON"T own CHARMED!!
Chapter 2
-----Attic------
"What about a spell!"Phoebe suggested suddenly as the thunder boomed once more.
"Why?"Paige asked,covering her ears at the sound of Chris's wail."We don't know the demon's name! Also,the demon's dead! We can't summon a dead demon!"
"Paige is right."Leo said."We can't do anything now.."
So they just stood there.
-----In front of the Halliwell's Manor-------
Inspector Sheridan had been given the permisson to try out the lastest super secret invention called the MagShear.
It looked like a small satilite with a t.v beneath it,there was also a small keyboard for typing. It was super expensive,but it had its advantages. For one thing,it could hear whatever was being said from a 90 mile distance. It could also show you the image of whoever was talking. The good and bad part about it was that could also tell you what that person was,to Sheridan,this was most helpful in confirming that the Halliwells were aliens. The bad new was that since it also happened to be in beta mode,there were a few bugs.
"With this,I shall expose the Halliwells!!"said Inspector Sheridan with glee. She typed in the Halliwell's location and waited.
The T.V flashed and at once,Inspector Sheridan could see Piper,Paige,Leo,and Phoebe. She could also see two small children. One was in the hands of Piper. The other was in a playpen.
Oddly enough,Piper named her son Chris..And the other after her husband's last name. Thought Inspector Sheridan. Maybe she must be the one who's trying to hide exposure! Maybe Paige and Phoebe aren't her sisters at all!
"Well.."Piper was saying in the screen. "Why don't we-"
WITCH!!
The satilite started shouting. The sound was loud enough to block out whatever Piper was saying.
"Which?Which what?"Inspector Sheridan asked,confused. "Oh I see.."
The sky starting pouring once more.
"It just froze."
----Attic----
"-just summon ourselves to the person who attacked Chris?"Piper suggested. "That demon could have been the one who attacked you guys earlier."
"That's a great idea!"Leo commented.
Wyatt was staring straight into the wall. It was as if he "sense" or felt a presence outside.
"Leo..."Phoebe said slowly,looking at Wyatt's expression. "Look at Wyatt.."
"What is it little buddy?"Leo asked,picking Wyatt up.
-------Inside Inspector Sheridan's Car--------
"Oh Shoot!"
The satilite wouldn't stop shouting out the word "witch",to Sheridan,it sounded like "which".
She started shaking the screen,hoping to hear why Leo was picking Wyatt up. She shook so hard that the screen..broke. The satilite cracked off as soon as the screen did.
"Oh nonononononononono..You can't be broken! My boss is gonna kill me!"
Outside of her car window,she saw Darryl Morris walking towards the Halliwell Manor
"What's HE doing here?".
-----Attic-----
"Window!"Wyatt said,pointing to the window.
"It's raining,Wyatt."said Leo,putting Wyatt back down.
Paige walked to the attic window,she opened to window alittle and peaked down below. She saw a car. A familiar car.
"Where have I seen that car before?"Paige asked herself.
The doorbell rang.
"I'll get it,let me know if you decide to go through with my idea."Piper answered,letting Leo hold Baby Chris. She lefted the room.
"I swear..I know that car from somewhere!"Paige said."But where?!"
Phoebe walked over and looked throught the crack.
"Isn't that..um...SHERIDAN!"Phoebe remembered suddenly.
"What's she doing here?"Paige asked.
-----Living Room------
"Hang on!"Piper muttered,opening the door.
It was Darryl.
"DARRYL?"Piper shouted suprised."Aren't you not speaking to us?"
"Can I come in?I'm kinda getting soaked."he said,glancing at his wet jacket.
"Oh yeah.."Piper said,letting him in.
"Look,I am only forgiving you because I know how important it is to protect magic. But if you ever,put me through that pain again,that'll finally be the last straw."Darryl said. "And I saw what you had to lose to protect magic as well,and that really made me realized how fortunate I am."
Piper didn't know what he meant.
"Oh..Well,I'm sorry Darryl."Piper said."But I have NO idea what you are talking about."
Darryl shrugged.
"Anyway,I am here to inform you that Inspector Sheridan think she's on to you. She has a tape of Paige orbing,you know,that sister of yours can be really careless,and she is going to expose you three."Darryl said.
"Expose us?"Piper asked.
"That's not the worse part."
"Oh god,there's an even worser part?!"
"She thinks you guys are aliens."
"WHAT!?!"
-----Attic-----
Paige and Phoebe was staring at Sheridan's car,waiting for her next move.
"Let's send her somewhere!"Phoebe said.
"It'd be for personal gain.."Paige said.
"It's not personal gain. You guys are helping her not expose magic. Even if she did,the Cleaners would probably erase her existance."Leo said.
"That wouldn't be so bad..."
"Phoebe!"Paige lightly scolded."Where would we send her?"
"Why don't we use a memory repressing spell..You know,repress that memory until we are done tracking down the demon after us.."Phoebe suggested.
"Alright."
The sister's holded hands and chanted:

It would get us depress,
If Sheridan were to know.
So memory be repress!
Leave her mind and just go!

And with that,Sheridan's car drove off.
Piper entered with Darryl.
"Sheridan-"
"We know,honey."Leo said.
"Darryl-"
"Forgave us!"Phoebe finished,hugging a reluctant Darryl.
"This is awesome!"Paige said."Everything is just like the way it used to be!"
BOOM!
The thunderstorm reminded everyone of it's presence. Baby Chris started crying again.
"Leo,put him next to Wyatt."Piper said,her mother instinct's kicking in. "Someone's coming through that portal."
Leo places the crying Chris next to Wyatt.
"Am I missing something here?"Darryl asked."There is no portal."
Suddenly,the attic portal opened.
"Oh..That one."
A figure stepped out.
He wore blue jeans with a black leather jacket. Inside his jacket,he was wearing a red shirt. He also wore a gold chain with the Egyptian eye on it. In one hand,he held piece of paper. His eyes were cold and filled with hate. He brown hair was the same as it had always been.
He was Chris.
Darryl backed away alittle. The last time he saw Chris alive,normal,was when Chris was trying to kill him.
"But he-"Phoebe began,confusing.
Isn't he dead?!? she thought silently.
"My son!"Piper cried,stepping foward to hug him.
"No so fast."said Chris coldly.
With a thrust of his hand,Chris telekinectally sended Piper crashing against the wall.
"Don't touch me."
"What Is wrong with you!?!"Paige asked."She's your mother!"
"Oh?"Chris asked,"My mother's been dead for years,I don't know what you are talking about. That women,is certainly not my mother."
Piper got back up with tears. Chris would never hurt her..Never..Not even if he was controlled by a spell. Chris was her son!
"Chris! Don't you remember me?"Piper asked desperately,trying to find a look of recognition from Chris.
But there was none.
"Sorry,I have no idea who you guys are."Chris said,coldly. "And I'm here on a misson."
His tone caused Wyatt's forcefield to come up,which also covered Baby Chris.
Chris saw this and saw baby Chris.
"Maybe he'll remember us if he see Baby Chris."Leo muttered.
A look of recognition came at last.
Piper sighed with relief.
Oh,he remember! Piper thought,her heart lifting alittle.
"You are the Charmed Ones?"Chris asked them.
"Well,duh!"Paige exclaimed.
"Then I'm here to kill you."Chris said,waving his hand.
The time,everyone was knocked into the wall,including Piper. Within moments,everyone was knocked out.
"And I'll be taking back my baby self."
Chris walked over to Wyatt and went right through the forcefield. He picked up Baby Self and orbed out.
The thunder crackled.

Chapter 3
The first thing Piper heard when she woke up was the sound of thunder and Wyatt crying. She automatically opened her fists for defence. But there was no need. But if there was,Piper wouldn't have blown up anything. Her mind was reeling from Chris's attack.
Piper looked at everyone,they were starting to stir."Are you guys okay?"
"Yeah..I'm fine.."Paige said,rubbing her back. "Who taught Chris to do that?"
"Certainly can't be me.."Phoebe said,wincing. She looked at her arms and saw that it was bleeding. "Ouch!"
Leo quickly ran over and healed her. As he was healing her he said "What I don't get is why he came back like that!"
"Yeah! I thought we made the future all,you know,well,GOOD!"Piper said,walking to the playpen to calm Wyatt.
"Piper!"Paige suddenly shouted.
Piper turned around,half expecting Chris,but it was a demon.
A demon with green skin and black hair. It looked exactly like Shax,only it had a purple face.
"It looks like Shax.."Paige said.
Her sisters quickly orbed next to her and they started chanting:

"Evil winds that blows,
That which forms below,
No longer may you dwell,
Death take you with this spell."

The Shax-like creature erupted but the face was still there. It started jumping towards them.
"Ok.That."Piper began,blowing up the head."Was.Disgusting."
"That confuses me.."Phoebe said."We vanquished him..didn't we?!?"
Phoebe walked over to the Book Of Shadows and began flipping.
"How did you even remember the spell,Paige?"Leo asked,smiling.
"Well,It was the first spell I ever casted,you don't forget a thing like that."Paige replied,smiling back.
She remembered the first time she met her sisters. Who wouldn't? It was also the day she found out she had magical powers and was half witch,half whitelighter.
Paige frowned once more.
In fact,it was more like a shocked expression.
"Piper!!"She shouted for the second time.
She pointed to Wyatt's Play pen,her fingers quivering.
Piper turned around and screamed.
"Baby Chris is gone!!" She shouted.
"Brother,missing,before."Wyatt said,orbing himslef next to Piper."Demon came."
"Chris kidnapped himself?!?"Darryl asked."Whoa..Wait,this is confusing!"
Everyone stared at him. He had been so pale when the Shax-like creature came,and now he wasn't.
"We must find him!"Piper said,getting the scrying crystal."He's only a baby! And Big Chris..is..He must be under a spell."
"It sure didn't look like it."Darryl muttered.
"Something from Baby Chris!!"Paige shouted,as a small swirl of blue and white lights appear in front of her hands. When the it stopped,it revealed to be a pacifer.
"That is perfect!"Phoebe cried,quickly taking the pacifer from Paige's hands and putting it in Piper's.
Leo sat by the window,he had been silent after the mini comment about Paige's great memory. All he was thinking about was his second son Chris. He was saddened by the fact that the future was probrably in an even worse condition. The fact that he died.. Or the fact that he came back just now and didn't recgonize any of them at all..that is..until he realized that they were the Charmed Ones.. Plus,that young man that came in wasn't the same whitelighter he knew.
What happened to the future?! Leo thought stared at the slowing rain. Where did we go wrong?
-----Barbus's Lair-------
Chris orbed in with Baby Chris. As soon as he finished materializing,Barbus flamed in.
"Ahhh..So the wittle ittle baby with his big form came back.."Barbus drawled."You should have stayed dead..Why are you here?"
"I'm from the better future."Chris replied,smirking. He handed a piece of paper to Barbus. "This is from your future self."
Barbus glanced at the paper,not wondering if it was a trap,he read it out loud :

"I cast a spell that affects me,
Tthat can trap me in a magical cage,
Just a decade or so,you see,
Nothing can penetrate,not even rage."

Barbus took a minute to reflect on what he just read.
As realization dawn to him,he cried angrilly."@#%$!"
Soon a magical shield of yellow came and trapped Barbus.
"WHY?!?!"Barbus shouted,kicking the shield.
"Future consequences."Chris said,mocking his old self.
"Gee..You sound your old self.."Barbus said,hopefully.
"Don't count on it,I have no idea what you are talking about.."Chris said,smirking,orbing out with his babyself."See ya."
----Halliwell Manor (Attic)----
"He keeps on dissapearing."Piper said.
"You know what? Let's just summon him to us!"Paige suggested.
"Listen..I gotta go..If I see him..I'll call you.."Darryl said leaving."Good luck."
"Bye Darryl."
Baby Wyatt orbed next to Leo and said."Dada"
"I found a summoning spell.."Phoebe said."It's really simple too..No power of three required."
She chanted:

Chris,I summon thee,
Both of you,come here,
Into the manor so you may see,
Who you hold most dear.

In a magical swirl of lights,Chris appeared with Baby Chris.
"Ugh..You people again..Didn't I kill you?Shee..whatever.."
"Cystals!"Paige shouted,orbing the crystals to Chris.
"Yeah,okay,you do that."Chris sneered,orbing out,leaving only Baby Chris trapped.
Paige waved quickly and the crystals orbed away,Leo caught Baby Chris just in time.
"Wow,I'll tell you what,your boy's new moves have me in awe."Phoebe said,alittle amazed at Chris's orbing speed.
Piper smiled sadly. "When you guy send him back to the future,was he like that?"
"Uh..No!"Phoebe said alittle bit too quickly.
Just then another demon shimmered in. This demon had on a black cloak and a giant needle was in his hand.
"Geez,what is this?Kill the Charmed Ones day?"Paige asked,annoyed."This is like the 4th demon that attacked today!"
The demon saw Baby Chris and the thunder stared to crackle again. It lunged for Baby Chris.
Piper flicked her hands and tried to freeze or blow him up,but there was no effect.
Baby Chris,scared even in Leo's arms,orbed out.
The demon groans and shimmered out.
"Brother!"Baby Wyatt shouted.
"No!"Leo shouted.
"My son!"Piper yelled.
