NEW CHAPTER 12 - WELCOME TO THE FAMILY!

“Come on, Chris, sit down over here,” Wyatt said patting the empty seat next to him as Phoebe steered Chris to that allocated chair. Everyone else took their seats and started what seemed like a feast.

Chris Perry was surprised. He never thought in his lifetime he would get the chance to see this sight, his mother alive, so many cousins, his father present at every dinner, his Wyatt good and most of all, the normality of the family household that he lost at his tender age. He dreamt of this every single day of his life, after he lost his mother and his aunts in the great battle with Zankou, where they sacrificed themselves to save Chris and Wyatt, but only their death was in vain since Wyatt turned his back on everything they taught him, he turned to the darker side for moral support.

“Hey,” Said a voice next to him as Chris Perry felt a nudge in his ribs. Turning around he saw Wyatt smiling at him, that smile alone took his breath away and all he wanted to do right that minute was to scream “I did it, I saved the future,” It seemed like, it just took Wyatt’s one simple smile to erase the pain he has suffered his entire life.

“Why aren’t you eating?” Wyatt asked the witch next to him, who was staring at the plate. Wyatt sensed Chris’s awkwardness towards others, since Chris’s eyes seem to scan around the table, taking in each of the family members before finally settling upon him. That’s when Wyatt locked his eyes with this Chris Perry. His Emerald eyes sparkled just like his little brother’s except in this eyes, Wyatt saw all the sadness of the world, those pleading eyes, both fears and adores.

Right then all Wyatt wanted to do, is to coop him up in his arms and comfort him that everything is going to be okay. He knew he can never bear to see that much sadness in his cherub but this witch’s eyes told him what he endured in his past. Inhaling deeply, he felt the need to protect this new comer, he knew that this Chris would need Wyatt to be supportive of him, after all the scarifies he made for this family, he would be crushed if the one person he had lost everything to save, rejected him.

“This is normal,” Wyatt said as Chris raised an questionable eyebrow at Wyatt causing the blonde witch to chuckle. Chris once again scanned the table, as he noticed how everyone was talking at once in their own mini groups. The sisters are talking among themselves about their work, the men are talking among themselves about their workplace, and the girls are talking about their college, guys and fashion. The guy who looked about Chris’s age was talking to his other version of himself.

“Sunday is the day when everyone gets the chance to catch up, other days we are so busy, we barely have no time to see each other unless its demonic or magical assistance.” Chris Perry nodded; at least his family is safe. Wyatt on the other hand, figured the male witch had no idea of the family members around him.

“Alright Family update,” Wyatt said as Chris Perry grabbed his fork and took a mouthful of food but stopped when Wyatt pointed out people with his fork. “That’s Uncle Coop, he is married to Aunt Phoebe and he is a cupid.” Chris raised his eyes at this as Wyatt nodded. “Yeah, it’s the Elders way of making it up to Aunt Phoebe after everything she suffered through. So anything you ask uncle Coop, you can guarantee you will get it, being the trainee god of love and all.” At this statement Chris Perry laughed.

Chris Halliwell who was talking to Henry, heard the laughter and narrowed his eyes towards the twice blessed, but to his surprise Wyatt was too busy laughing with him. Jealousy taking hold of the young witch, Chris swiftly turned his fork upside down and brought it right down on Wyatt’s thighs, who yelped in pain, gaining the howl of pain as reward; Chris Halliwell flashed his million dollars smile at his brother and returned back to his conversation.

Wyatt cleared his throat and smiled at Chris Perry, who noticed, none of the family members turned to pay any attention to his loud yelp.

“These things generally happen,” Wyatt said with a tight smile, feeling the pain fade away. “So going back to our conversation, that’s Penelope, Brianna and Ashley, they are their daughters, you can image the powers of Cupid and a charmed one, Unimaginable. They could form their own Power of Three group with others.”

Chris chuckled but Wyatt just smiled with a quick and swift glance to his right to see if Chris was going to attack him again. Chris Perry on the other hand smiled, looking at his aunt. At least in this lifetime Phoebe has someone she could truly love, unlike the other future, both his aunts were married but to completely different people, Jason and Brody, who all sadly killed by Zankou’s demons.

Wyatt smiled at the male witch, Just as he felt a sharp poke in his right side of his ribs, turning to his right, he saw his little Chrissy, looking at him.

“What you think you are doing?” Chris’s voice echoed in his head.

“Just updating him on our family members,” Wyatt thought back as Chris Perry looked at the blonde and brunette witch, who looked taken back.

“Can he hear us?” Chris thought looking at the Male witch, as Wyatt subconsciously shrugged. However Chris Perry, who heard them didn’t show it, as if he could hear them, he just glanced around the table once again.

“I don’t think so,”Wyatt said as Chris shook his head.

“Stop flirting with him,” Chris voice echoed as Wyatt shook his head.

“Listen, he is our brother now and it’s only right that we show him that we are here for him as his family, besides I thought you be happy, since you got a twin brother now.”

“Hm…You are right you know, twin brother, I can always do the things the twins do,” Chris thought back as Wyatt shook his head with a smile before turning to Chris Perry, who smiled a little.

“Oh Sorry, where was I, right, the cupid.” Wyatt said as he pointed at Henry Senior. “That’s Uncle Henry, married to your favorite aunt Paige, hang on, she is your favorite aunt right, or is it aunt Phoebe?”

“Paige,” Chris mumbled, barely audible but he said it and the twice blessed heard it.

“Cool, Uncle Henry is a parole officer and a Mortal, just like dad.” Wyatt said as Chris looked taken back.

“Dad is a mortal?” Chris said it out loud as almost half of the people in the table nearby looked at him, including Leo, who smiled. Knowing his sons are already bonding. Everyone went back to their conversation as Leo gave a nod at his eldest son, who returned the nod, reassuring that he doesn’t need to worry about this young man.

“Yeah, he fell from grace to be with us, after the Elders attempted to exile dad for siding with the Avatars.” Wyatt said as Chris nodded trying to avoid asking the questions that popped into his head by the second. “Well, that’s Henry and the twins, Prudence and Patty are Aunt Paige’s kids.”

“But who is that girl?” Chris asked pointed at the girl on the table, chatting with Penelope and Brianna.

“Oh that’s our little sister Mel,” Wyatt said as Chris gave him the familiar look of you-are-joking. “Yeah, that’s pretty much everyone in this family.”

Chris nodded with a small smile. He got a little sister, how about that.

Dinner finished swiftly and Piper’s famous desserts came, as the Halliwells choose that time to introduce themselves properly to Chris Perry, with hugs and pats on the young witch’s shoulders. Just then Henry Jnr raised a question that gave the Halliwells something to think about.

“How are we going to identify who is who, if both of them are called Chris?” Henry Jnr asked looking at his Aunt Piper, who looked at her husband.

“Maybe one of them should change their name,” Leo said as Piper nodded before looking towards both Chris.

“I don’t want to change my name,” Came a chorus that stunned the Halliwells, since the words and the timing were so precise, it sounded like a chorus.

“They are already doing the twins thing,” Henry Senior said with a smile as both Chris’s glanced at each other in surprise, before looking up at Wyatt and then folding their arms and leaning back on the chair.

“They even started to mimic their actions,” Melinda said utter shock, since one Chris is torture, but two running amok. “Oh my god!”

“Wow they are good,” said Prudence said to her twin, who nodded. Piper and Leo smiled at each other.

“How about this, we don’t have to change the sort version of your names, only the long ones,” Phoebe said as they looked at her.

“What do you mean?” Wyatt asked confused.

“Well both can be called Chris, except their full name, Christopher would be changed to Christian.” Phoebe said as everyone nodded in agreement.

“So who is going to be called Christian?” Piper asked as both of them shook their head. “Come on Guys, corporate with us here, please…”

“I don’t care,” Came the Chorus as Paige and Phoebe laughed.

“Come on Guys, you two still be called Chris.” Leo said to his offspring’s.

“No!” Came the Chorus as Leo looked stunned since they are mirror image of each other, doing the same thing at the same time together.
