A/N: Yes! The last chapter! I decided to put the last three chapters up at once. Now I can work on other stories. I hope everyone enjoyed the story.

Two weeks passed. Chris learned that Bonnie had used a spell to release Alyssa's immortal form. Lyssa had seared the bonds holding the Halliwells, freeing them. Wyatt and Laura had gone into Death to save Chris and Morgan. To his surprise, Chris learned that Wyatt had known Axel when they were teenagers. Axel had been ordered by his father to kill or turn Wyatt. Fortunately, he hadn't succeeded in either. Chris saw Alyssa talking and laughing with Morgan. Laura chased Matt and Jamie in the front yard while Elisa curled up under a tree watching in amusement. Wyatt came up behind him. "Enjoying the break?"

"Yeah."

"Don't get too used to it. This kind of lull in demon activity is pretty rare."

"I'll keep that in mind."

Chris frowned a little. "Does Alyssa still remember her other lives?"

"No. Apparently the memories were erased when her immortal half went to sleep again. This was the first time it had fully awoken. She's lucky it decided to sleep again. Fortunately, a few decades don't matter much when you're immortal."

"I have a few memories of Morgan from this life, but nothing else."

"You'll probably get more in time."

Wyatt gave him a sideways glance. "Everything happens for a reason, Chris."

"What do I need them for? Axel's dead."

He looked at Bonnie, sitting by herself under a tree. Wyatt had healed her physical wounds, but healing the mental scars could take years. "Maybe you should reconsider why they were given to you." Chris followed his gaze. "How can I help her?"

"I don't know, Chris. I just know she needs someone. She's been through a nightmare that none of us understand."

"Morgan does."

Wyatt shook his head. "Morgan is still working things out in her own mind. Give it a shot."

Chris gave up the argument and went to sit beside Bonnie. She looked up at him expressionlessly. "I never did thank you for helping us," Chris said gently. She looked away. "Bonnie, your parents loved you. Do you really think they would want you to die?"

"How could they love me," she whispered.

"They're your family. No matter what you do, what you say, they would love you."

"You don't know that."

"Yeah, I do. Personal experience."

"How?" Her toneless voice held a note of challenge."

"One of my siblings tried to kill me," Chris answered carefully. "They thought I had betrayed the family, but I didn't."

"And you still love them?"

"Yes."

Bonnie thought for a moment about this.

"Tell you what. I won't give up if you won't. We'll do it together, OK? And we'll get Morgan in on it too. She never really had siblings; she could use a little sister."

The little girl nodded slowly. "OK." Chris pulled her ponytail a little. She didn't quite smile, but leaned against him.

The next three months seemed to fly by. Bonnie was slowly starting to trust him. Laura, Matt and Jamie did their best to include Bonnie in their games. Morgan had practically adopted Bonnie as a little sister, and seemed to enjoy it more than she had expected. Four days ago, Chris had been thrown into a daze when he saw Bianca. She was a good witch, and living with some human cousins of hers. She didn't remember him. Thinking about it, Chris realized that the woman he loved no longer existed. The surprising part was that he didn't really care. Bianca was one of the few good memories that he had of his old life, but that was all.

Seeing Morgan, Chris waved to her. She hesitantly came over to him, murmuring hello. She stared out at the horizon. "Piper said you talked to Bianca. You going on a date tonight?"

"Yeah."

A brief expression of pain crossed her face. "Where are you going to eat?"

"That depends. What's your favorite restaurant?"

Morgan stared at him in shock. "Mine?"

"Yeah, I'm not going to take you to a place you don't like."

Her mouth twitched. "I never said I'd go out with you."

"Knew I forgot something. Hey, do you want to go out tonight? I don't have anything better to do."

Morgan smacked him. "Jerk."

"I've been told that."

"But a nice jerk."

"I haven't been told that one."

"Oh, shut up."

"Gladly." Chris leaned over and kissed her briefly. Morgan's eyes opened wide.

"Still think I'm a jerk?"

"Shut up." This time she kissed him. She swung herself up onto the porch railing and jumped down. "Hey," Chris called as she ran towards Elisa. "You never answered me."

Morgan laughed out loud. "Yeah, I did." Chris laughed and shook his head. He heard his mother call for him to help with dinner and Wyatt yell his name in mock outrage. "Guess he found what's left of the CD player," Chris said aloud. If he could get to the kitchen fast enough, he would be safe. Piper never allowed fighting in the kitchen. "It's good to be home," he laughed.

The End
