"Exactly why I always said, future consequences, if I had told you who I was then, it would have changed the future too much" said Chris

"But didn't you come in this time to change the future in the first place?" said Piper looking at Chris

"That's different, I only came to change one single thing, if I told you about myself then…it would have changed too much and I don't want to make the future more worse" said Chris

"Wait, were you actually planning on changing the future and going back to the future without telling us your identity?" asked Phoebe

When Chris nodded, Phoebe looked back surprised

"Seriously? If you had gone back without telling us, if mini you had been born, he could have been named Perseus or even Percival Halliwell since the name Chris would not have come to our mind" said Paige, trying to lighten up the situation

At this, Piper, Phoebe and Leo blinked at that. Chris looked at his aunt before smiling, he knew what his Aunt Paige was trying to do and he appreciated that

"Well, in that case, I would have changed my name to Chris when I would have gone back in my time" said Chris smiling

"Besides, I would have never named any of my children Perseus or Percival, I wouldn't want to torture him" said Piper smiling

"What? Percival and Perseus are good names" said Paige

"What? It is not Paige, I think naming a child Percival or Perseus might actually qualify as child abuse" said Phoebe joking

"Oh hush" said Paige

Leo smiled at the light mood that seemed to take place but then looked at Chris. He remembered all the times he had threatened Chris to recycle his soul and how he had treated him inValhalla.

He wasn't proud of it, in fact he had realized months ago his treatment of Chris wasn't justified at all, but he didn't know how to make it up, now finding out that Chris was his own son and he had practically threatened and mistrusted his own son, that made him feel horrible and he knew he would have to gain Chris's forgiveness.

"Chris" called out Leo to get his attention

At which Chris looked at Leo

"Yeah" said Chris, his smile vanishing instantly, which Leo seemed to notice and that confused him

"Look, I am sorry on how I have been treating you for the last few months" said Leo

"Save it" said Chris

"What?" said Leo

"Just save it okay, I wasn't that surprised by that from you" said Chris

"What do you mean?" asked Leo

But Chris didn't say anything and instantly orbed out

"Okay, what just happened?" asked Phoebe

"Why did he orb out? Leo can you sense him?" asked Piper

"Yes I can, it is hard to sense him, I think he is trying to block me out, but I can sense the gist of him" said Leo

"Orb him back" said Piper

Leo was about to comply when Paige stopped him

"I wouldn't do that" said Paige

"Why?" asked Piper

"Piper, your son is 22 years old, he wouldn't exactly appreciate it if you bring him here against his wishes" said Paige

"But he-" Piper tried to speak

"Sweetie, I know you want to probably cuddle him but you know Chris, have known him for months, he is 22 year old, adult son of yours, the more you will try to hold onto him, the more you will push him away. Not to mention he is very independent has been on his own for months seeing as we haven't exactly been friendly or socialising with him, until now. To him it would seem like we care for him only because he is blood, even though that's not the case for us, it will feel like that for Chris" explained Paige

"I think I understand what she is trying to say Piper, you guys will have to give him his space, when he comes back, you three can have a talk but for now just leave him alone" said Phoebe

Piper sighed but then nodded; she knew they were telling the right thing

On top of Golden Gate Bridge

Chris sighed as he looked at the cars passing by from the top

He had made a big mess of thing; he was never supposed to let them know about his identity. It was because of future consequences but it was a small part of it, the reason he didn't want to tell him his identity was because he knew if they knew his identity he would break.

It took him years to compose himself, ever since he lost his mother and aunts in his 14th birthday, he had to make his own way and live on his own, take care of himself and toughen up to survive. Here, in a time where they are alive and well, the only way he could have composed and control himself was by pretending to be a stranger. Not to mention being a stranger meant he could control his temper around his absentee father, Leo.

He was only biological father, Leo never made any input in his childhood, his mother did but never Leo, because of which he had build up resentment. He found it easier to control his temper while acting as Chris Perry, the stranger but now he didn't have that mask to protect himself.

Thoughtfully, he looked at the memory potion he had brought from the future just for emergency

2 hours later

Piper was cleaning up the kitchen when she heard orbs forming. She turned around and was surprised to see it was Chris, who looked uncertain and nervous.

"Uh, hi" said Chris

Leo, having heard orbs, came in the kitchen too and stopped outside the door when he saw Chris

"We need to talk" said Leo

"I actually agree on that" said Chris

"Wait, what's that potion?" asked Piper noticing the potion in Chris's fist

Chris froze at that and then looked at Piper

"Chris?" asked Piper confused but then Chris decided to answer

"It's a memory potion, I brought it from the future for emergency" said Chris looking at Piper

"Memory potion, why would you need th-" stopped Piper in midway when she suddenly understood why Chris would want it

"You want to erase our memory! But why would you want to do that, surely us knowing your identity won't change the future for worse" said Leo shocked

"Leo, let it be" said Piper looking at Leo

At this Leo and Chris looked at Piper incredulously

"What?" stated both Leo and Chris simultaneously

"Let it be, if he wants to use the potion on us then let him" said Piper

"But why?" asked Leo

Piper then looked at Chris sadly

"Look Chris, I know you need your space, we didn't treat you well since you first came and suddenly you think because we know that you are our son, that is why we are treating you like this. I get it, I get that you probably are doubtful so if you want to use the potion on us then go ahead" said Piper

Chris looked surprised at this at Piper but then he looked at the floor

"Chris?" asked Piper when she saw he wasn't doing anything

"I can't" said Chris, he couldn't use the potion on them

Piper was surprised but smiled slightly at that

"I gotta go now, I need to list some more demons" said Chris looking away

"Wait, Chris, I know we are making you uncomfortable, but don't try to stay away from us? I won't try to control you, I know you don't want that, but still I can't say that I won't worry" said Piper

Chris eyes rose in surprise at that at got ready to orb out

"Chris, orb back for dinner" she said

Chris nodded after a while and then vanished in orbs

After he left Piper sighed and sat down, Leo looked at her at that

"I don't think he likes me Piper" said Leo, looking at Piper

"I know, I think it's probably because of how we've treated him for months, we've treated him horribly Leo, and it won't go away easily, it will take time and this is a start" said Piper
