The Blessed Ones

Chapter 5

Gideon caught his daughter just in time before she hit the ground. He looked at her tear-streamed face and sighed. He looked around the room and reached out to his powers. He sensed no one awake, and her cries hadn't disturbed peace at the school. He picked her up surprisingly gently and carried her in his arms to his own privet chambers.

He used his hand quickly to open the large oak door to his room and he carried her in, shutting the door behind him. He placed her down in his own bed and he covered her with the dark sheets.

"My dear…that child was too powerful to live. Wyatt would pale in comparison to the child you would have bared. You are powerful yourself child but not even you know the power Chris possesses. It is for the greater good." He knew she couldn't hear him, and he didn't want her to.

He looked at this girl who suffered much on his behalf, and she was nowhere close to being born yet.

He had no idea where her mother was. Her most recent letter was that she was in hiding from the other elders. Gideon half smiled at the ironic situation. For all his lectures to Leo he was in the same position. He knew he made it a point in his future life to not let anyone know of this serious error and boundary he had crossed.

It was if she didn't exist to him.

But he existed to her. Too much for his liking….

She was as beautiful as her mother, more so if he thought it possible. Maybe he saw this simply because no matter how cold he was and no matter how much he schemed and plotted, and no matter how much at times he wished she never had been born;

She was still his daughter.

And she had power. She wasn't the same as the Charmed, but she had power in her right and in her namesakes if they were known. She was strong, helpful, kind, emotional, on occasion needy but she wasn't afraid to fight. She had gown up in a world of evil; she'd been a warrior and asset to good since other witches found she could throw a fireball.

But Chris Halliwell…

Had he not been a fighter and defender for most of his life, maybe the Charmed Ones would truly know him better.

Had Piper not been as busy and heartbroken, and had Leo been there, they would have known better.

Chris could have been the Halliwell secret weapon. He was like a ticking bomb ready to explode. One day it would burst in him, and the world would know the true Charmed son.

If only he would use his gifts! The boy was too good. Perhaps it was better that way.

A child that carried his blood could not be stopped.

He convinced himself that what had been done in the future was for the greater good. It had to be.

He touched her soft pale cheek gently and he stood and walked over to his hidden two-way secret hidden mirror. He pulled out the chair at his chess set and sat down and with one final look at the girl he closed his eyes and slept.

And for the first time in years he was plagued by nightmares…

He dreamt of her daughter's love, and the power he possessed and what he could do. He saw the good that happened, and he saw the bad that occurred when his emotions got in the way.

The dream shifted to if that child had lived….

Chris had not returned from his journey to the past and she was alone, the Charmed ones around her, as she gave birth.

'Chris!" she screamed again and again, as the pain came, over and over till she could scream no more. He didn't even know. He was in another world, and here she was in agony, and he had no idea.

'It's a girl!' Paige cried happily. But Kiandra hadn't heard.

She was dead….. Because he was not there.

The dream flashed to Chris. Though the prophecy stated he should be dead as well he was not.

Prophesies worked in mysterious ways.

Because she died in childbirth and the child lived part of her blood was still around, giving Chris something to live for…he wouldn't not die.

So he suffered.

Kiandra would die….

Gideon awoke suddenly, his breathing heavy; he looked at his unconscious daughter.

Yes…yes what he had done was for the best. She would have died. She still might if events reoccurred. Or whenever she would have a child again.

The child was too powerful for her to handle.

He swore to himself, should she ever be with child again, as long as he lived, he would find a way to un-do it.

As long as he was alive she would never carry Chris Halliwell's child.

"A BLESSED ONE!" Phoebe screamed as Paige showed her the page in the book. As if a mystical sign from gods, the light night and thunder clashed in the sky in the already pouring rain as she said the words.

"SHHHHH!" Paige hissed. "Man I knew I shouldn't have told you!"

"And you KNOW Chris asked you to keep this a secret." Paige stomped her foot on the floor.

"I know I know! Its just so much is going on and weird stuff happens with those two. With everything going on I thought someone else needed to know what was going on with them, just so we can keep an eye on them." Phoebe nodded as she looked at the page.

"This is too weird…our nephew is a part of one of the most ancient and most powerful prophesies ever known to witching kind." Phoebe said more to herself shacking her head. "Piper isn't hear right? To possibly hear any of this?"

"No she's at the club. And Chris is sleeping I think and Kia's at Magic School. But You can't tell Piper. Or Leo. Especially Leo."

"I know I know! I promise ok. This is big stuff Paige." Paige nodded in return and both sisters sighed heavily. Their thoughts were interrupted as the attic roof opened, except no one was there. They heard a female shiver, teeth chattering form the cold of the rain, and water dripped on the floor. The window closed. Paige rolled her eyes.

"Sneaking back in are we Kia? I can only assume in the future that you've had too much practice with that. Very Sound of Music." Kia removed the invisibility and stood before the sisters shaking from the cold. "So, I guess I will be forced to play Maria and ask you; what were you doing sneaking through the window in the pouring rain in the middle of the night? And DON'T tell me you were singing 'I am sixteen going on seventeen." Phoebe just smirked at the look on Kia's face.

"I was at Magic School I just got back in. That's all." Paige nodded. She trusted the girl.

"Did you find out anything?" Paige asked. Kia shook her head, her eyes on the floor.

Phoebe's eyes widened and she looked up at Kiandra. "You're lying." Kia looked at her, her eyes wide and sad.

"No I'm not, I didn't learn anything about the prophecy." She spoke the truth and Phoebe nodded.

"I'm sorry you're not lying…but you aren't well either." Kia looked back and forth between the two sisters.

"Look, I'm really cold, and tired. I'm going to change and go to bed." She headed to the door, but when she heard a slight sob from Phoebe. She stopped, her hands on either side of the doorframe.

"He…he killed my baby!" Phoebe sobbed out loud, her empathy powers picking up emotions so strong once more, that she reacted to them and said them out loud. Kia stopped and turned around.

"No…" Kia's voice was a soft, lamenting whine.

"Excuse me?" Paige asked looking at Phoebe, and then she stared at Kiandra.

"No, no, no no!" Kiandra cried out. As she turend away form the door as Phoebe continued to read her.

"I trusted him! And he killed my child! And chris didn't know a thing… I needed him! I was so sick before I was taken! It was so much worse because he wasn't there! My baby! And Chris didn't know…" at that point Phoebe's eyes squinted shut and they opened, her emotions her own again. Kia's breathing was soft and quick.

"Please…" Kia asked, she didn't want this.

"You were pregnant." Phoebe said almost inaudibly. Paige's mouth dropped.

"Oh…. My…. God." Paige breathed out.

"Wait…" Phoebe said, her voice getting louder. "YOU WERE PREGNANT!"

"Please don't wake Chris up please! I don't want him to know." She begged, as she tried to get the sisters to calm down and the news she didn't want anyone to know.

Paige stared at the floor then looked up. "That's what happened while you were in prison huh? The baby died." Kia nodded slowly. "And Chris never knew." She nodded again.

"He left before I could tell him. I thought this was going to be a short mission…not over four months…I didn't want there to be more of a burden on his shoulders. I didn't want him to stay because of me."

"Wait, you were four months along when it died! You wanted him to know! He NEEDED TO KNOW! He NEEDS to know now! You suffered because he wasn't there." Phoebe cried at her.

"Phoebe calm down…" Paige said trying to intervene.

Kia grew calm. "I don't want him to be in any more pain. You know him. He'll blame himself and I couldn't stand that. I can't let him know…I don't want him to know I was ever pregnant with his child."

"Why don't you tell him that…" Paige said solemnly and jutted her head to the doorway.

Kiandra's eyes shot tightened her lip trembled as she remembered how cold her was and she turned slowly, water dripping from her hair from the rain outside.

Chris stood behind her, his face one of shock, misery and guilt. His eyes were red, and his mouth was twisted and opened slightly, as if he wanted to speak but could find no words. He was a father in grief.

Kia reached out to touch him but he took a step back, and when he did that she felt as if her heart would break.

"Why didn't you tell me? WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME!" she closed her eyes at his anger and pain.

"Because I didn't want to see this happen to you Chris. Please don't do this I've suffered enough I think." Kia's voice calm, yet on the verge of shattering.

"What is this? Like when my dad found out I was his? Is this like bad karma or something? Huh, I finally know how my father feels, and I finally understand what he's gone through."

"Chris this is nothing like your father finding out about you…"

"You're right its worse! Because my child is dead!" Kia winced at his words.

"Please Chris don't…" she reached out her arms for him. He shook his head and turned his back on her and left the attic and ran down the stairs.

"Chris wait!" she screamed after him and she followed. Paige and Phoebe glanced at each other and ran down the stairs after the couple.

Kia was at the bottom of the stairs, out of breath by the look of it just by running down the stairs. The sisters saw Chris head to the kitchen, but she didn't seem to have the energy to keep up with him.

"Its…painful to fight. But its never been… this bad. She breathed in and out deeply and slowly.

"Wow…" Phoebe said surprised. "They mean what they said in the prophecy. About you guys…" Kia nodded and then weak stumbled, the sisters catching her.

"Ah Chris a little help!" Paige called into the other room. There was no response. "Chris!" she called again. "What is he doing is he like blocking you out or something? Can he even do that?"

They heard a loud scoff form the itched then the sound of orbing and Chris was in front of them. He stared at Kia.

"No we can't block each other our even if we want to." Kia looked up at him.

"I never try to block you out. Why are you being so cold? This isn't like you Chris." He looked at the floor, now unable to meet her gaze.

"Because this is my fault," he breathed out. Kia gave the sisters the 'I told you so,' look.

"Chris you were busy saving the future of the world!" She said, finding the energy to stand again.

"But our child would have been the future Kia! And I had no idea!" She just looked at him. He needed to accept this on his own in his own time.

"Chris," she said softly, "There's still a future. A different future. One where our child won't be in danger all the time." He thought for a moment and he looked at her.

"You're right…you're right." Kia smiled feeling like things might be resolved. "How could I? How could I get you pregnant when the world was collapsing? Why then? It's completely thoughtless and…stupid. It wasn't fair to you when I knew I was leaving." Kia stared at him.

"You always the one in line, who tries to follow the rules, who sticks to the book, who's serious and doesn't let his emotions get in the way…." She whispered to him.

"Not true…I walk the line too. And I've seen the effects of that. And I'm not making the same mistakes again." He breathed deeply for a moment. "How far along we're you?"

"Almost five months…" she whispered. Chris shut his eyes and walked upstairs.. Just as Piper walked in.

"hello?" She called out as she watched Chris run upstairs. Kia followed. The sisters looked at Piper then followed the tormented couple. Piper stood alone in the front hall.

"Where did everybody go?"
