Chapter One;

Piper strode back and forth in the middle of the attic unable to control her breathing – Chris had sent a demon after her baby, her little boy – the little baby he claimed he come back to protect.
Piper wanted to blow him into a thousand little pieces – she wanted to vanquish his sorry ass back to the future – because there is one thing you never mess with – you never mess with the love a mother has for her child.

"Piper – you need to calm down" Phoebe said shaking her head – but Piper just turned to glare at her.

"Calm down? You want me to calm down – after our stupid moronic whitelighter sent a demon after my baby?" Piper shouted and Phoebe flinched glancing towards the youngest sister for a little bit of support but Paige had her head stuck in the book at Pipers request – looking for a way to let them find out what Chris was really doing here.

"Piper – Chris wouldn't harm Wyatt – he is here to protect him, I think" Phoebe said but Piper shook her head.

"No! He sent a demon after my baby – my precious baby! Paige are you done with that spell yet?" Piper asked and Paige sighed at the tone in Pipers voice.

"Yeah – yeah, I am done" Paige said as she glanced up from the book. "But I don't think we should do this" Paige said but Piper just glared angrily.

"Well we are – you call Leo, I will get Wyatt" Piper said firmly as she walked out of the attic.

"We call upon the ancient power"

"To help us in our darkest hour"

"To understand Chris's past"

"Help us learn his reasons fast"

The sisters read the spell together - Paige wrote the spell to let them hear/see Chris's memories but it worked what seemed as little to well as they were sucked into a blue portal.
Hitting the ground with a thud Piper glanced at Paige as she pushed herself off the ground.

"What kind of spell was that?" Piper asked but was interrupted by Phoebe.

"Where the hell are we?" Phoebe shouted glancing around she noticed they were in a rather dark alley way – but Paige had different ideas.

"Next time you want a spell Piper you write it" Paige said angrily – she didn't want to do this, this was invading Chris's space.
Paige didn't have anything against their whitelighter – yes he did send a demon into Wyatt's room but for some reason she knew deep down in her stomach he would never hurt Wyatt.

"Ahh girls – company" Leo announced as he gripped Wyatt tighter shielding the baby as they noticed a teenage girl walking towards them dressed in a black leather one piece.

"Well – well – well what do we have here?" The teenage girl asked as she glanced at them – looking them over. "Shape shifters?" The teenager asked and Piper raised an eyebrow.

"Try the Charmed One's" Phoebe announced and she watched the teenager glance at her disbelievingly.

"Nice try" The teenager said as she produced a fireball. "Two seconds to tell me why he sent you – or your toast" She said with a smirk and Paige raised an eyebrow.

"Who's he?" Piper asked and the teenager chuckled.

"As if you don't know – times up" She announced as she launched the fireball – but was certainly caught off guard when it disappeared in thin air.

"Enough – Mel" Chris's voice was heard harsh and commanding.

"Chris! What are you doing here?" Piper shouted as she moved closer to Wyatt who Leo held protectively.

"I wish I knew" Chris snapped as he glanced at Mel – who was looking rather sheepishly. "There from the past – we better get outta here – he'll be sending guards, the portal would have tipped him off" Chris said and he watched his cousin nod slightly. "You go – I will deal with them" Chris said but Mel raised an eyebrow.

"I can take them" She offered but he just shook his head.

"No – you tried to kill them – go, I will speak to you when I get there" Chris said as calmly as he could and Mel nodded.

"Welcome home Chris" She whispered before orbing away in a pool of bright lights.

"CHRIS! What is going on?" Phoebe shouted and Chris glanced at her.

"I wish I knew – you are obviously the ones that brought us here" Chris snapped and Piper raised her hand.

"I am so gonna blow you up" Piper said and Chris glanced at his mother.

"Blow me up?! I am the only way you're gonna get back to your time" Chris said firmly and Piper raised an eyebrow.

"Our time? Where are we?" Paige asked and Chris glanced at her his gaze softening a little.

"My time" He announced and Piper gasped.

"The future? Paige you brought us to the future?" Piper shouted whacking Paige on the arm causing the youngest Charmed One to jump.

"Next time you write the spell" Paige snapped and Chris whistled.

"Let's get out of here – before his guards show up" Chris said as he held out his hand and Piper looked at him sceptically.

"No – we will go to the manor, see the book and then head home" Piper said and Chris snorted.

"You wouldn't make it anywhere near the manor – the book isn't even there. Now come on – we don't have a lot of time" Chris said as he moved forward – not even touching them as he orbed them all from the alley way.

_X_X_

As they orbed into a hallway lit with dim lights – Chris stepped away from everyone. He couldn't believe they would be so stupid so reckless – he couldn't believe they would even try something like this.

"Chris! Where are we?" Phoebe said as she glanced around the hallway – she had a feeling she was safe – but she wasn't sure she should trust Chris.

"What did you mean his guards?" Leo asked and Chris glared at him.

"You're meant to be an elder! You should have stopped this – now instead of protecting Wyatt, I have to work out a way to send you back" Chris shouted his frustration coming out. "Stop asking questions and just let me think" Chris snapped – but he watched as the Charmed One's remained silent and instead glanced at a young man who was walking towards them.

"Chris – your back" He said slapping his hand on Chris's back and Chris gave a slightly warmer smile.

"Yeah – not for long hopefully" Chris said as he watched the teenager shake his head at the Charmed Ones and Leo.

"Need a little help?" He asked and Chris nodded.

"Yeah – take them to get freshened up, I gotta speak to Mel" Chris said as he turned to the past visitors. "Try to be good" he said with a smirk. "This is Henry – he will take you somewhere to get cleaned up" Chris said as he glanced at baby Wyatt. "Get Wyatt a bottle as well" Chris added directing the order at Henry who nodded.

"Yeah – I got it" Henry said as he glanced at Chris. "Good to have you back man"

Walking down the hallway – Piper stuck close to Leo and Wyatt watching her little boy carefully.
Piper didn't trust this Henry one little bit – she didn't know him and with her years of fighting demons and warlocks – she was just a little bit concerned – well actually a lot.

It wasn't meant to have happened like this – they shouldn't have come to the future – they just wanted to see Chris's memories, to see if he was actually here to help or kill Wyatt.

"You shouldn't question Chris" Henry's voice rang threw Piper's ears pulling her from her thoughts as she glanced at him.

"How did you know?" Piper asked and Henry smiled.

"I can just tell – Chris is a good man" Henry said with a smirk and Piper shook her head.

"How do you know? He doesn't exactly act like it" Phoebe said interrupting Piper before she could speak but Henry just shook his head.

"A lot of people would be very upset to hear you say that Phoebe – he is nothing but good" Henry said as he turned a corner.

"What is this place?" Paige asked changing the subject and Henry glanced at her with a soft smile.

"This is the residence – a safe haven" Henry said and Paige nodded.

"Why is a safe haven needed?" Leo asked and Henry glanced at him – he didn't like Leo not one bit, but he also knew for the sake of the greater good he had to at least pretend to.

"Because – I can't tell you, but you should know your safe here, from demons and all" Henry said as he opened a door. "Here – get changed and then I will take you to eat. Paige – Phoebe, your room is here" Henry said opening another door but Pipers voice interrupted him.

"Where is Chris?" She asked and Henry looked at her.

"With Melinda" He said and Piper shook her head.

"The girl from the alley way that tried to kill us?" Piper asked and Henry nodded.

"Yes – we work in a specific order here Piper, you will be best to remember that. Today Melinda broke many rules – Chris will be dealing with that" Henry said with a shrug as he leaned up against the wall. "Change – so then you can eat" He said.

_X_X_

Chris stood leaning against Melinda's bedroom wall looking at his cousin who sat cross legged on her bed glaring at him.

"Chris – what are they doing here?" Melinda asked and Chris shook his head.

"I don't know – but I am not here to talk about them. Melinda we have rules and guidelines for safety – going out into that world by yourself is a suicide mission" Chris said trying to remain calm and Melinda raised an eyebrow – causing him to sigh.
Melinda had always been the most difficult of his cousins – her mother had died when she was just five years old – Chris and Henry were the only family she had ever known/had left – it lead to her rebelling a lot – just like her mother did when she was younger.
Melinda was now fourteen but she didn't look it – she looked older – mainly because she head to grow up so fast.

"Chris – all I want to do is help, no one would let me go out with them today" Melinda said with a shrug and Chris raised an eyebrow.

"Melinda we have rules – no one is allowed to leave the residence without company, do not try anything like this again am I clear?" Chris asked and Melinda rolled her eyes causing Chris to push himself off the wall taking two short steps towards her. "Melinda?" Chris asked tilting her chin with his finger – but Melinda sighed.

"Yes Chris" She said and Chris nodded.

"Good girl" He said and Melinda sighed as she raised her arms pulling him into a hug.

"Thank-you for coming home" She whispered and Chris smiled at her innocence – kissing the top of her head lightly.

"I was always coming home sweetheart – but I have to go back you know that" Chris said and Melinda nodded tears brimming her eyes.
She hated it when he left – even if it was just for missions outside the base – because she never knew if he was coming home.

"I know – is that really them from the past?" Melinda asked and Chris nodded as he sat down on the side of her bed.

"Yeah – but it was quiet stupid of them to try and come back here Melinda – don't you get any ideas about time travel" Chris said sternly and Melinda giggled.

"Never" She murmured and Chris smiled.

"That's my girl" He said and Melinda beamed.
She was his girl – his little girl, he had raised her – loved her like his own.
"I have to get back to them" Chris said and Melinda stood up at the same time as him.

"I'm coming" she announced and Chris shook his head.

"No – you're staying here, in your room" Chris said firmly. "Consider yourself punished for disobeying my orders" Chris said and Melinda frowned.

"Not fair Chris – please? Henry's with them" Melinda said and Chris shook his head.

"Sorry little one – behave yourself" He said as he walked out of the room to find the Charmed Ones and Leo.
Chris new it was important to send them back to their time before they could figure anything out – see anything, because it would change to much – screw up the future in ways he wouldn't want nor need.
He needed to send them back to save Henry and Melinda the pain of having to be around their dead parents – parents they never got to know.
