Disclaimer: I don't own Charmed. If I did, well, this way the seasons could have played out. ;)

Summary: His younger brother is in the past. Trying to save him, but he wouldn't believe in it. He needed to see if he was alright and doing fine. But what he saw made him question all his beliefs.

49. Growing up a Halliwell

TWO YEARS LATER

Time had gone by quickly and it was nearly time for Leo's final and the boys, well, they had grown up too and played all mischief acts on their parents, aunts and uncles. The only thing it was hard to say who was leader though they all had an idea but remained silent.

"Mom," came Chris' voice to the kitchen where he knew his Mom was. He was nearly six by now and wanted to find out but especially be in school with Wy. Normal school, that is. "Mom, when can I go to school with Wy? I don't want to stay here and in Magic School!"

Piper rolled her eyes at her little boy. That he would always be for her – and anyone else. "Soon, peanut. I promise but for now, stay quiet, because I need to prepare Leo and your brother's breakfast."

"Can I help then?" His best weapon came to work which he had perfected over this little time. "You know how well we work as a team. So?"

Again the mother rolled her eyes. "Sure, but be careful. All is still a bit too heavy for you. I know how much you like to work with me and also to be with your big brother but me and Dad have to give you borders, right?"

"Yeah, yeah, Mom," the boy said agreeing, now rolling his eyes himself.

"Leo! Wyatt! Breakfast – NOW!" she yelled then up to the stairs where her other two men were still. Then running footsteps could be heard and both men came down as quick as they could. "About time," she only commented.

"Sorry," Leo and Wyatt said at the same time and took their usual seats at the table. "Wow, well done."

Now mother and son rolled their eyes but said nothing to their comment. All four sat at the table, eating their breakfast before talking about all what was going to happen today but only the youngest member didn't say anything to it. Knowing what was in store for him.

"Alright, time to go now!" Piper said after they had finished their dishes. Leo did the cleaning and then went to university. Wyatt walked to his school and Piper to her club, though she was thinking about selling it.

Chris said to all before leaving, "I'm going to Magic School. You'll find me there if need be. Library is my place. Since I can't go to the usual school, I need to work on my brain." He twinkled his eye before running through the magical door.

There he settled himself in the darkest corner of the library, reading some books about time-travel and all but then, out of nowhere, another magical door appeared, calling to him somehow. Letting the book fall, Chris walked like in trance through it.

SOME TIME LATER

A blond head was running through a crowd, at university, because he needed to find his Dad first. Some time ago he'd lost the signal of his brother and this only meant, something had happened. He needed help – no matter what.

"Dad, Dad, where are you?" he shouted through the young people who looked at him shocked. "Has anyone seen my Dad? Goes by the name of Leo Wyatt, you know."

"Next room," one offered before simply vanishing from view.

Wyatt nodded and then did as been told. Running to the next room, the young boy saw his Dad and quickly ran to him. "Dad, Dad, I need your help. I lost Chris!"

"What?" the man said shocked and stood up, ignoring the others and his incoming teacher. "I'm going. Please, take some notes for me. Copy them later. Thanks."

And then father and son were on their way to Piper who was in her club. As they came in, she only raised an eyebrow but their looks said enough. Something had happened. With Chris obviously. Damn, couldn't those demons never take a break?

"Mom, I lost Chris from my radar some time ago! The last thing I sensed was him reading a book in the library and then suddenly … poof! No more," Wyatt explained in a rush and expected his mother to help him. Like his Dad.

"Piper, say something please! We need to help Chris to whatever has happened to him meanwhile," the man said calmly but inside, he was exploding nearly. "Piper?"

"Okay, let's go home then and open that damn door again!" she only said determined and then gave her management back to one of her managers who she'd phoned quickly and explained the situation to him what the man did.

From the backroom, the older Chris' room, the family orbed then back home, missing their youngest member at the moment. But they wouldn't let their other family know. It was their turn to rescue Chris again. From whatever danger he was in.

MAGIC SCHOOL

As they reformed, Piper, Leo and Wyatt were met with shushing voices. Rolling their eyes, they only looked for someone known in here but only found Roland there. To their surprise. "I'm here to help you," the Elder only offered to the shocked family.

"I don't understand," Piper only stated confused, looking at the Elder and her family.

"With time, with time," the Elder only said, reading a book to pretend doing something else. "It's clear that Wyatt and Chris share a strong bond. That's why Wyatt could sense Chris missing from the beginning. You should follow this way." He simply orbed away after this statement.

Piper narrowed her eyes but her men seemed to understand what the Elder had said. "Okay, what did he tell us? You seem to know what he meant. So?"

Wyatt rolled his eyes and just had his goal in mind, walking away. He'd decided to let his Dad deal with his Mom. He felt something in this room but he couldn't place it. At the end, the Twice-Blessed found himself in the darkest corner in the library. "Mom, Dad, you should come here!"

"What is it, buddy?" Leo asked, running to his son and was followed by his wife.

"There's something here," the young boy commented only. Closing his eyes, he tried to sense his little brother again but failed. "Damn!"

"Language!" Piper scolded but then again. "So, you don't know what here is, do you? But Chris had been here, right?" Wyatt nodded. "What do we do now?"

"I have no idea," Leo admitted, going through his hair. "But Roland had said that Wyatt is our only connection to Chris. So, Wyatt would lead us to him. If we can locate him with that measure."

Piper nodded and observed her older son who stared at the wall, wishing to see what was behind that if he could. His baby brother was there, that was for sure but how could he reach him? The Elder had said their bond was the key. 'Damn, Chris was the brain!' he thought.

THE OTHER PLANE

This voice was calling him. He wanted to know what that was but he felt he was alone. But this voice sounded familiar somehow. "Hey, who are you? Why are you calling me?"

"You don't remember me, boy?" asked the voice knowingly. "Your family would recognize me, especially your Dad."

"What do you mean?" the little boy wondered out loud.

"Haven't you met your older self yet? I thought you did," came the response.

Chris paced through this plane and knew partly what this man was talking about. He hadn't understood all what his family had told him about his other self. "Okay, let's believe what you're saying it's true. What do you want from me?"

"I want to end what had failed all times before, yet with my powers I can now manage that." The speaker revealed himself and it showed an Elder, angry and smiling at the young boy who looked at him curiously.

"Do I know you? You look familiar."

"So you do remember me, my boy," the man explained and opened his arms to let the boy enter his embrace. "You see I can be trusted. Do you want to play with me a bit?"

"If I can?" The man nodded and smiled more now. "What games do you have for me?"

"Mmh, let's see. What do you want to play then? Tell me, please, since I'm not that used to children. What do you say?"
