Chapter 1

“Are you sure this is a good idea?” Piper said.
“Don’t be so worried. After last time we need to make sure your blood pressure doesn’t get so high. Besides this time it seems more like a normal pregnancy.” Pheobe said.
“Yeah, what gives you that clue the fact I was able to cut myself at P3.” Piper said sarcastically.
“Actually, yes.Of course we should have expected that since Chris can’t heal. All right quit stalling lets go.” Pheobe said pushing Piper out the door.

We enter the doctor’s office mid conversation.

“Everything looks normal Ms. Halliwell. Your blood pressure is just fine but avoid stress and salt just the same. Maybe if we take the precautions early this time it won’t get as bad. Let’s check the heart beat okay.” The doctor said.
“What ever you say doctor.” Piper said.
As they listened to the heart beat there seemed to be more than one.
“Doctor is that another heart beat?” Piper asked confused.
“It could be an echo through the placenta lets schedule a sonogram for tomorrow just as a precaution okay.” Said the doctor.

“Okay, I’ll see you in two weeks then. Don’t worry. I’m sure everything is fine.” The doctor said.
“Fine, I’ll be here.” Piper said.
“Okay let’s get home and get your feet up.” Pheobe said.
“Yeh, I have a question for Chris too.” Piper commented.
“Do you think there is more than just him in there?” Pheobe asked.
“I really don’t know. But I have felt different this time around. But they say all pregnancies are different.” Piper mumbled.
“Chris, Chris get down here.” Pheobe yelled as they entered the manor.
Chris orbed in. “What. I was look for possible demons to attack Wyatt.”<br> Should I be expecting more than just you?” Piper said patting her stomach.
“What, no. What happened at the doctors anyway?” Chris asked.
“He heard more than one heart beat, but he thinks it’s an echo through the placenta. Other than that everything is okay.” Pheobe said.
“That’s probably all it is. I know you are only pregnant with me. Well if that’s all I better get back to what I was doing.” Having said that Chris orbed out.
Paige walked in “So how did everything go?” Paige asked.
“Fine my blood pressure is normal and I have my first sonogram tomorrow. So how is Wyatt?” Piper asked.
“Sleeping soundly, so when are you going to tell Leo?” Paige asked.
“I don’t know he’s already having trouble doing his job up there. I don’t want to make it harder on him. Besides there is plenty of time yet.” Piper stated.
“Yeah, well I hope you plan to tell him before the baby is born.” Paige said.
“I will.” Piper said.

“Are you sure Chris will be okay with Wyatt?” Piper asked.
“Sure Wyatt trusts him now and besides Chris wanted too so Paige and I both could go see the sonogram. Unless you want to call Leo?” Pheobe half hoping she would.
“No I’m sure it’ll be fine it’s only for an hour or so. Paige can always orb us back if there are any problems.” Piper said shaking her head.
Soon they were sitting in the waiting area passing the time till Piper was called.
“Ms. Halliwell we are ready for you now.” The x ray technician said.

“Okay, the jelly’s cold. Let’s see there’s a heart beating.” The Tech pointed out on the screen. “Looks like two more over here too.”<br> “What? You got to be kidding me, three.” Piper. Said.
“No I’m not. There heart beats are strong. They are still too small for me to tell you the sex yet. We’ll schedule for another sonogram in two months maybe then we can. Get lots of rest and the doctor will be giving you a call soon.” The x-ray tech said.
“I’ll see that she does.” Pheobe said as Piper was too shocked to answer.
Piper didn’t say anything the whole way home.
“Do you think she’s okay?” Paige asked.
“Yes, just in shock. I wonder how this happened Chris said she was only pregnant with him.” Pheobe stated.
“Unless he changed the time line when he came back. This could be like you told me happened when you, Prue, and Piper went into the future and she had a little girl. But instead she had Wyatt.” Paige said.
“True and maybe this change is for the good. Maybe the three of them can prevent Wyatt from becoming evil. They are bound to be stronger together like the three of us are.” Pheobe said.
“The future Charmed Ones.” Piper said dreamily.

Chapter 2

“How did it go?” Chris asked as they entered the nursery.
“She’s having triplets.” Paige said just to see his reaction.
“No way, I knew I changed the future coming back but I never thought it would change that much. Mom are you okay?” Chris asked because she still looked a little dazed.
When Chris called her mom, Piper snapped out of it. “Yes, just quite shocked I guess. I was expecting one baby now I’m having three. I could use a hug though.” With that said she got a group hug from all three of them.
Pheobe suddenly thought of something. “We’re going to need a bigger nursery. Plus Chris needs a place to sleep.”<br> “The attic, we could turn it into three rooms. Wyatt, the babies, and Piper all can go up there. That leaves us the extra room down here. What do you think?” Paige asked.
“I think we need to make calls, we only have seven months before they’re born. Paige, go look in the book to see if there is something we can do so demons don’t show up while the contractor is here. Pheobe, see if Élan will let you work from home for a few months. Chris you’ll have to sleep on the couch till the rooms are done. I hope you don’t mind.” Piper said.
“No, that’s fine. I’ll try to cut back on the demon hunting till after the birth. That way I can help deep an eye on Wyatt for you. Now after you find a contractor I want you to go rest. You need to take care of yourself and the three little ones.” Chris said.
“You know you’re really starting to sound like the concerned son.” Piper said and smiled. It was nice not to worry about Chris now that she knew who he was.
Chris just smiled and gave her a big hug.

“Okay, we’ve narrowed it down to these two designs. So which one do you think?” Pheobe asked.
“I think the one with wood floors and extra bathroom. I always thought the house needed a third bathroom. Plus it gives me my own washer and dryer and that is always nice with four small children.” Piper said. The doctor had put her on bed rest so Pheobe was taking over the construction of rooms.
“Okay, they should start tomorrow. I’m going to fax our decision right over to them. Do you need anything?” Pheobe asked.
“No, Chris is at my beck and call lately.” As soon as she said that he orbed in with Wyatt.
“Did you call?” Chris asked.
“No I just said your name. I’m fine. Why don’t you take Wyatt to the park I’ll call you if I need you.” Chris orbed out again. “See what I mean. I can barley breath without him asking what’s wrong. But I know he just wants to help. Did Paige finish the demon barrier?” Piper asked.
“Almost, but she should be done within the hour. I’ll be back in a minute.” Pheobe said as she ran to send the fax.
A demon shimmered into Pipers bedroom. Piper gestured to blow him up. But both the demon and parts of two walls behind him blew up. Pheobe who was in her room just look through the holes in shock. “Piper what just happened?” Pheobe yelled from the other room.
“I blew up a demon. I have no idea why the walls were blown up too.” Piper wondered.
Paige ran in. “So that’s what I heard. Here let me fix this.” She recited a spell and the walls returned to normal.
“Piper are you okay?” Pheobe asked.
“Yeah, but what happened? Even when anger amplified my powers they were never that strong.” Piper said.
“Unless you channeled one of the babies power. It would make since that one of your babies inherited your molecular manipulation power.” Pheobe suggested.
“Looks like we need to be more careful. The demon barrier will be up in 5 minutes. I don’t want a repeat performance of this. Plus you don’t need this kind of stress put on you right now. Pheobe could you fix Piper some tea while I finish up.” Paige said as she left the room.

“Why didn’t you call me? I could have protected you?” Chris complained.
“I was fine; actually the walls got the worst of it. Now that Paige has finished the demon barrier it shouldn’t happen again. Tell me what you and Wyatt did at the park today.” Piper said.
“He played on the swings and in the sand box. Than we had some ice cream cones. I’m really enjoying this brotherly bonding. It’s something I didn’t get a lot of in my childhood. Wyatt and I were never really close. I think he just kept me around as kind of a toy. You know a punching bag. But with the changes I’ve made to the future maybe that won’t happen to the Chris you’re carrying. I’m just glad you are letting me stay in your lives.” Chris commented.
“Chris you’re my son of course you will continue to be a part of this family. I just wish I could have made your childhood better. But I’m going to do what I can to make the rest of your life a happy one.” Piper said.
“Mom I love you.” Chris smiled and hugged Piper.
“Dinner’s ready.” Pheobe yelled from down stairs.
“Oh great more take out.” Chris mumbled.
“Could be worse, it could be Japanese again. Go help her bring it up.” Piper suggested.
“Sure mom be right back.” Chris said in mid orb.
When he orbed back he had a tray full of food.
“Who does she think she’s feeding an army? Does she expect me to eat all of that? I’ll be as big as a cow if I do. Chris have a seat and help me will you?” Piper asked. They had a wonderful meal together just eating and talking. Chris was a wonderful person and she was happy to get to know him. He seemed to talk more freely now that he knew the future had already changed tremendously.
“Mom I think you should rest now you look tired.” Chris said kissing her on the forehead.
“Okay, see you in the morning say goodnight to Wyatt, Pheobe and Paige for me okay. Tell Wyatt mommy will read to him in the morning okay. Night Chris.” Piper gave Chris a kiss on the cheek.

Chapter 3

Chris got a call from the Elders.

“Why didn’t you tell me you were my son?” Leo asked.
“I couldn’t risk changing the future to much. But I don’t need to worry about that now do I?” Chris asked.
“You’re asking me if I know Piper is pregnant with triplets. Yes I know. That’s why I called you up here. Please take care of her the babies and Wyatt for me, because I’m no longer able too okay. I trust you fully. I know now you never meant any of us harm. Give your mom these for me okay.” Leo said as he handed Chris several packages. “There is a package for each one of the babies, plus one each for you and Wyatt. The gold one is for Piper. Tell her I love you all and I wish I could be with you. Remember son I love you, don’t forget that.” Leo hugged Chris and walked away.
Chris could see how hard this was on his father. He wished there was some way he could be back with them. He vowed one day he would find a way. He orbed back home with the presents.

Chris orbed into Piper’s room. “Mom I come barring gifts from Dad.”<br> “What? You talked to Leo?” Piper asked excitedly.
“Yes, Dad called me up there. He asked me to bring these gifts down. There’s one for each of his children, even me Mom. He sent one for you too. He must still be keeping an eye on us because he knows your pregnant with triplets and that I’m his son.” Chris commented.
“He knows? He’s not upset I didn’t tell him is he?” Piper said.
“No. He sends his love and asked me to take care of everyone. So are we going to open the presents?” Chris asked excitedly. As a child he didn’t receive many gifts from his father.
“Go ahead.” Piper said looking at her package sadly.
“Mom, Dad really regrets not being her. He really wants to be.” Chris said when he saw how said she was.
“I know. So what did he give you?” Piper asked.
“A ring engraved ‘I love you, Dad’. Hay it’s even the right size.” Chris looked up and said. “Thank you, I love you too, Dad. What did you get mom?”<br> “A heart necklace engraved ‘love always, Leo’.” Piper started crying that’s how he signed her first valentine card.
“Mom are you okay?” Chris was really concerned.
“Oh yes, sweetheart. It’s really special. Thanks for bringing the presents. Lets give Wyatt his.” Piper said heading out the door.
Leo sent Wyatt a ball with a heart that lights up when he touched it. The triplets each received bears with hearts that light up. The gifts ensured Leo’s love surrounded them all.

“Come on Paige, we’re going to be late. Piper needs to be there right at 2:00” Pheobe yelled.
Paige orbed down. “All ready. Besides we’re just an orb away so we still have plenty of time.”<br> “Okay off we go. I want to find out who the other two of these little ones are. Chris, thank you for watching Wyatt. You’re sure you don’t want to come?” Piper asked.
“No mom that’s okay. Wyatt and I are going to the zoo. I want to know how it goes though. See you latter bye.” Both Chris and Wyatt gave her a kiss and orbed out.
“He’s been such a big help with Wyatt. They’re getting along wonderfully.” Piper said.
“Chris is so different now that he isn’t worried about the future. He’s still protecting Wyatt but he knows the future he left no longer exists. Well let’s orb.” Pheobe said. Pheobe use to be late for everything, but lately she’s been keeping everyone on time.
Soon they found themselves back in the sonogram room looking at the babies on the screen.
“Okay here’s baby A and it’s a …boy. He looks just fine.” The doctor moved the wand around on Pipers stomach. “Here’s baby B and we have a little girl here. Last but not least baby C is a … girl. They all look healthy and are doing fine. Let’s schedule another sonogram for three months from now the make sure they’re growing well.”<br>
“Two girls and a boy, I can’t wait to tell Mom and Grams.” Piper said as they left the doctors office.
“What are you going to name the girls?” Paige asked.
“I don’t know. I want to continue the tradition of there names beginning with the letter P. What do you think?” Piper asked.
“I think that’s great. Mom would love it.” Pheobe stated.
They filled Chris in on what the doctor said.
“Two sister’s, I never had sisters. This is going to be great! Congratulations, Mom.” Chris went running upstairs to tell Wyatt the news.
The girls went upstairs to summons Mom and Grams.

“Piper you look wonderful. How are you doing darling?” Patty asked.
“Fine mom, I just found out I’m, having two girls and a boy. I thought I’d continue with the tradition of the girl’s names starting with P. What do you think?” Piper asked.
“That would be wonderful. I’m so happy for you Piper. You’ve wanted a little girl for a long time.” Patty said.
Well we need to go honey we’re being called back. Good luck, we love you.” Grams said as they both disappeared.

5 months later.

Pheobe walked into Pipers room. “Well the attic is completed. We’ll have you moved in before the babies are born. How are you doing Honey?”<br> “Other than I feel as big as an elephant, fine. The babies are really moving now. I wish Leo could be here for the birth. You thing being an Elder he could be allowed that at least.” Piper said regrettably.
“I know honey. Maybe he will, you never know. If not, I have a felling he’ll be watching from up there. I know it’s not the same though. Is there anything you need?” Pheobe asked.
“I could use a big chocolate sundae with strawberries and walnuts.” Piper said. In the last two weeks she started having cravings. But this time something strange happened. The sundae she was craving appeared in front of her. “How did that happen?” While she was figuring that out she started thinking a tall glass of mild would go good with that and… poof there it was. “Okay that time I only thought a glass would go good with the sundae.”<br> “Piper, I’m getting a feeling from one of the babies. One of the girls is doing this. She was hungry and wanted something sweet. My guess is her power is to create things by thinking of them. Well that’s a new power for this family.” Pheobe said with wonder.
“Great first a son who can pull dragons out of the TV, now a daughter that can create anything she wants. Most parents just have to worry about their children getting into something. But me I have to worry about my kids making things. Well, thank you honey, mommy was hungry too.” Piper said patting her stomach.

Chapter 4

“Remind me why we’re doing the home birth again.” Piper screamed after a contraction.
“In case one of the babies comes out in orbs like Wyatt did. Now, concentrate on breathing. Okay, I see a head, now push. Keep going this one’s almost out. Okay got her.” Pheobe said cleaning the first girl up. Piper screamed. “Paige here, looks like someone’s in a hurry to join her.” No sooner than she said that than baby #2 started crowning. “One big push and this one will be here. Girl # 2 entered the world, so Chris is the last to come out.” Pheobe cleaned off baby girl number two while Piper got a minute or two break before Chris made his day beau.

“Piper they’re so beautiful. Have you decided on the names for the girls?” Paige asked.
“Yes I have, Payton Katrina Halliwell and Prudence Kathryn Halliwell.” Piper said.
“Prue would be proud. It’s going to be interesting to see what powers they have. We know of two powers but don’t know which one has what.” Pheobe said.
Shortly after their birth they found out the girls did not like to be separated. They even had to sleep in the same crib. Piper worried about this but hoped they would grow out of it. So far the babies were doing well. They actually were developing faster than Wyatt did.

4 months later.

“Piper, come quickly.” Pheobe yelled.
Piper ran in just in time to see all three babies crawling. “Wow they are developing so fast. I guess it’s time to put up the gates to the stairs again.”
Wyatt orbed in. “Mommy, I’m hungry.”<br>“Okay Mommy will make lunch soon. Wyatt why don’t you play with your sisters and brother while I get it, okay.” Wyatt at two years old loved helping her. He also loved both his sisters and his brother.
“Kay, Mommy make grill cheese?” Wyatt asked.
“Sure you bet. Pheobe you mind watching the kids?’ Piper asked.
“No problem.” Pheobe smiled. She was always ready to help. As a matter of fact she had given up on the husband hunt for the time being so she could be around more. Jason never called after he found out she was a witch. It was hard enough being a witch but to find the right person to get evolved with on top of that was next to impossible. Pheobe was taking a break from it before she totally gave up. Right now the Halliwell sisters were doing a big 0 in relationships. Richard had left after Paige bound his powers to “Find himself” It’s almost been a year and they haven’t heard a word from him. Piper was beginning to wonder if any of them was ever going to be happy.
“Mom, what’s for lunch?” Chris orbed in and asked.
“Grilled cheese, I could make you on with gouda and chives.” Piper said.
“That’ll be fine. The elders are still looking for a replacement whitelighter.” Chris said. Since the elders found out Chris was her son they thought the charmed ones need a new whitelighter. They didn’t think Chris should be put in that stressful situation. Besides he has his own destiny to fulfill. One the Elders would not tell them about, as usual. They did say it was separate from baby Chris’s though.
“Chris can you find Paige and let her know lunch is ready?” Piper asked.
“Will do mom/” Chris said grabbing part of a sandwich as he left. Piper just smiled. Chris was such a joy to have around, it didn’t even bother them that baby Chris and big Chris were one and the same.

Chris orbs into P3’s back room where Paige is kissing a guy. “Sorry Aunt Paige.” Chris says and orbs out.
“Cheyenne, I guess it’s time to introduce you to the family. Are you ready?’ Paige asked.
“Sure, I feel like I already know them.” Cheyenne said.
Paige orbed them both to the manor. They found everyone eating lunch in the kitchen. She knew she was in for it, because she didn’t tell anyone she was dating Cheyenne.
“Hi everyone I brought someone to meet you.” Paige and Cheyenne walked into the kitchen.
“Paige are you crazy bringing him here. He saw Chris leave P3.”Piper said as she spooned peaches into Prue’s open mouth.
“Piper he knows we’re witches. You don’t have to worry, watch.” Paige said nodding to Cheyenne.
Cheyenne waved his hand at the newspaper on the counter and it caught fire. After a minute he waved his hand again and the fire went out. “I’m a 3rd generation firestarter. My father was a firestarter, my mother was a witch, and both fought their whole life on the side of good. Paige and I met when I was fighting a demon one night outside P3 after it closed. We’ve been dating every since. I think she was afraid to tell you, because she thought it would jinx the relationship.”<br>Paige walked up to Piper and Pheobe who had just finished feeding Prue and Payton. “I’m real sorry. I was afraid to tell you because of the curse of the Halliwell women. When we meet a man perfect for us something always happens and they leave us. But now I realize I was just being silly. Please forgive me.”<br>“Of course we forgive you, but you shouldn’t be afraid to tell us anything. So you two are serious than?’ Pheobe asked.
“Well we wanted to wait until I met you but, I’ve asked Paige to marry me, and she accepted.” Cheyenne held up Paige’s left hand so they could see the ring.
“Congratulation Paige, we’re happy for you. When is the wedding?’ Piper asked.
“We haven’t decided yet. I’d love your help planning it.” Paige stated.
“Of course we will honey. Well let me be the first to say welcome to the family Cheyenne.” Pheobe said. Baby Chris orbed into Cheyenne’s arms. “I think baby Chris says so too.” Baby Chris started orbing two weeks ago. The girls had yet to show that ability. They did know that Payton could blow up things and Prue was the one who could create things out of thin air. They were less than a month old when the charmed ones discovered this. Payton blew up a teddy bear that Wyatt was waving in her face. Prue on the other hand created a binky and rattle when she didn’t get attention as quickly as she wanted. There personalities showed through very early on. Chris was the most outgoing of the three; Payton was the leader, while Prue had a quiet strength about her. As they have gotten older they discovered that although Payton instigated many of their trouble making, Prue is the one that figures out how to succeed in it. Chris just seems to go along with what his sisters want but often throws his own ideas on getting into trouble. Now that they’ve started crawling the trouble has just started.
