Last Season on Marvelously Charming
"Well, we knew that Voldemort would have put added protection to ensure that his demise would take with anyone that was in the same room, which is why we cast the spell to protect all the students, and created a barrier of magic around the main fight zone, and when we defeated Voldemort and we were taken with, it was only copies of ourselves.
"We have been handed four new witches from the east coast elders, they are known as a covenant, from a line of witches that date all the way back to Melinda Warren, they may have been critical to the escape of the daughter of Melinda Warren, and if so, these four young men are very powerful, though they are no match for charmed power, they are powerful nonetheless."
"Ok, the wedding is set up, and the flowers and caterers are here, we have all the clothes... WHERE THE FUCK IS MY FIANCE?!"
"He's the one still breathing HEAL HIM!" Caleb yelled
Chris held Wyatt, "I didn't choose him over you..." he said softly and kissed his forehead
"Wyatt's gone..."
"Have you seen him before?" Chris begged of C.J
"Yeah, but it's not like he came up to me and said hey how are ya, I'm death, an oh by the way you're next on my list... how would I have known"
Chris knew exactly when he needed to go back to, he focused, and felt himself take over his own body
"You ok?" Wyatt asked
"Put up your shield Wyatt..." Chris said
"Why...?"
"Just DO IT!" Chris exclaimed
Wyatt did it and as the demon burst through the window, he collided with Wyatt's shield being sent flying, Chris froze him and repeated his actions from earlier, and threw the stun potion at him, causing the freeze to break, and then they read the spell to turn him human, as the spells intertwined the demon was turned human as he died.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH... IT'S EVEN WORSE THAN I IMAGINED.... GOOOOOOOOOOOOD...." Chris screamed and gripped the table
"Push..." Phoebe said, Chris looked at her shocked
"PUSH WHAT!?" he yelled
"Act like your peeing I don't know just PUSH..." Phoebe yelled
"AH... AHHH... AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH FUCKING HELL KILL ME..." Chris screamed
"Almost there, one more push, big push..." Phoebe encouraged
"AH.. AHH... AHHHH FUCK OH GOD ALMIGHTY AHHHHHHHHHHHH..."
"You got your daughter..." Phoebe said handing him the baby
"Hey little girl, how you doing?" he asked
"She's so beautiful..."
"Johnny, ever since the day I met you, I have felt a connection, more powerful than I have ever felt before, and that connection completed me, I was only 17 and they said I didn't know how to love for real, but here I am, almost 21 and still loving you as much as I did that day, the day you walked through my front door, and flashed me that smile, the one that you're giving me right now, telling me that I am loved, and that you care, we have brought out the best in each other, and like any couple we've had our battles, but together we overcame them, you are my light the very light that makes the fight for the future worth every second of suffering, because that just makes the good stuff that much better."
"Chris, before you there was an empty space in my heart, a space I tried to fill with girls, but when I finally decided to stop fooling myself into thinking that it was ever meant to be filled, I met you, and I felt something I'd never felt before, the day I met you and I saw the beauty in your eyes, I knew that we could have something, something more, and because of you I was able to get past the old me, and allow myself to experience with you something I've never had with anyone, I found a partner, an equal, someone to love me and someone to receive the love I withheld for my entire life, and now that I have filled the emptiness, not only with you, and your love, but with our love, for our children I feel like I can finally tell you, and anyone who will listen that Christopher Halliwell, is my true love, and the one person who can ever truly occupy that space in my heart."
"By the powers vested in me by the state of New York, I pronounce you both husbands, till death do you part, you may kiss."
"Is this what marriage is supposed to be like?" Johnny asked
"I don't know, but I could definitely get used to it..." Chris said
C.J looked away from the clock and couldn't even look in the direction of the doctor, out of fear of what he might see, there was no more music, just that ticking
"WELL WE'RE GONNA TALK ABOUT IT BECAUSE I LOVE YOU AND I WAS WORRIED SICK, WHEN WYATT DIDN'T BRING YOU HOME!" Caleb yelled
"What did you just say?" C.J asked
"I was worried about you..." Caleb said
"No... before that?" C.J prodded
"I said I love you." Caleb said biting his lip
"I HAD AN... abortion..."
"There you are, um... there's no good way to say this, Chris, you're not gonna have to get pregnant again..." pause "Because I already am." Johnny finished with a half smile
"You have no idea how happy I am." Chris said and hugged Johnny
"I'm getting there." Johnny said
"I love you so much Johnny Storm."
"I love you too Chris Storm."
You know Cal, I think I'm falling for you..." C.J said with a smile
"Are you trying to say..." Caleb asked hopefully
"I love you Caleb, and I want to be your official boyfriend."
Caleb wrapped his large arms around C.J "I have waited so long to hear you say that, I love you too, and I would be honored to have you as my boyfriend."
"He's not breathing."
"What do you mean you want to give up your charmed destiny??" Sandra asked C.J
"I can't be without Caleb, and I can't do the charmed thing anymore, I wasn't the right choice, and I know I need to be with Caleb..."
"Well, either you relinquish your powers and become mortal Caleb clips his wings and you two live as mortals, or you become a whitelighter, but you would need your brothers to agree to say a spell, one which will strip you of your inherited power as well as your charmed power, and replace them with those of a whitelighter, and you'll never see your family again, the choice is yours..." she finished handing him a slip of paper and orbing out..
"Why would you want to do this, don't you care about what we're all about anymore?" Chris asked
"Honestly no, and I haven't for a while, I just can't bring myself to want to do this anymore, it's not who I am anymore, I've changed..." C.J said
"You're right, you have changed, I'll read the spell, just because I don't want to know you anymore..." Chris said, C.J was torn up inside to hear his brother' speak those words, but he knew this was for the best
"I can't believe we wasted there years on you, Coop was right about you, I'll read the spell, hell I'll get your shit for you, and since you won't need it any more..." Wyatt orbed all of C.J's belongings to the junkyard, C.J was emotionally crippled at that moment
"You guys..." C.J started
"No, we don't want to hear you speak, not unless it's the spell..."
"C.J, how did you..." Caleb started and C.J kissed him
"I gave it all up... for you... and our life together, I love you..." C.J said
"Henry?!" Paige said and fainted
"Mom!" one of the men called
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, what the hell is going on here?" Chris asked
"Um... I suppose we have some explaining to do..." David said
"Ok... in our world..." David started
"Your world?" Paige asked
"Yes.. an alternate world of sorts..." David said
"Ok..."
"Well in this alternate world, Alex and I are the only surviving members of the Halliwell family line, at ages five and nine, we witness the death of every member of our family at the hands of the Frerax clan..."
They kissed again and Zac lifted Chris and carried him to the bedroom placing him on the bed, Zac stood and pulled off his shirt showing his perfect abs, Chris's breath caught, and he pulled off his own, and stood up to kiss Zac once more, and they frenched while Chris undid the clasp of the dockers, and Zac pulled off Chris's designer jeans.
"CUT!"
"Sue you don't get it, he's been gone for a year, and only coming home when HE wants to, he's always hanging out with his HOLLYWOOD boys, it's like he's forgotten who he is, and where he came from..."
"Look Johnny, he has wanted this for a long time, and now that he has it, he's finding out that it takes more time and effort than he expected..."Sue replied
"I know, I know, I love him so much, but I just, I feel like we're drifting apart, and if he doesn't start to work with me, I might want a separation..."
"Busy would be one thing... but you quit the restaurant, you see the kids a couple hours on the weekends, we never have sex anymore, I just, I feel like you are not a part of this family anymore, ever since C.J left..." Johnny said
"That's not fair, I am trying to achieve my dreams, you said you supported me..."
"The kids are all staying with me, you can't..." Johnny started
"In that case, all three are coming with me... and if you try and stop me, I won't revive you this time..."
"I can't believe he did it..." Johnny said
"What?!" Wyatt asked grabbing Johnny's arms
"He took my kids, to live, in LA... without me...."
"When you met Chris, he was confused, he was a teenager, you had the experience of being 25, he was almost 18, he didn't know what he wanted, then he met you and everything seemed amazing, but then after you two were together until recently, he started to experience some of the life that was taken away by him finding out he was able to get pregnant, and he sacrificed some of his best years to be your boyfriend, a mother, and eventually your husband and a father twice more... He experienced the life you had before you met him."
"The attitude is that I had just found out that my husband would rather divorce me than deal with me being away from him so pardon me for getting emotional and passing out then not wanting to talk about it..."
"Ok, you know what I'm gonna go, I'm gonna head home, when you get your head out of your ass, come see me.... And by the way, you aren't the only one that sacrificed for your marriage..." Wyatt said and orbed out...
"We're both dateless..."
"And the award goes to Christopher Storm, Journey of a Lost Soul."
"Do you wanna tell them Skankerella or should I?" Chris asked Alex, I'll take that as no comment, "That little whore over there fucked my husband, that's right, the bottom feeder fed his bottom to my husband..." Chris said loudly
Chris continued his assault... and pulled off his own trunk briefs while sucking, he pulled himself onto Zac's lap and aligned his cock, "Do you want this?" Chris asked
"Please... please, I need to feel your ass on my cock..." Zac pleaded
"I love you..." Chris said and sat on the thick cock, even this soon after getting fucked it still hurt... a lot
"OH GOD... I love you too, you're so tight, I love this little ass..."
John, I know all about that and I'm here, Chris isn't, he's off somewhere not thinking about you, so why should you worry about him..."
"Ok... this isn't happening.... Easy to use remove cap and urinate on absorbent end accurate results in just 90 seconds..." Chris said to himself
He waited, and waited, the longest 90 seconds he'd ever endured...
"I'm pregnant..."
"Who's the father?"
"I don't know"
"Can we talk?"
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Season 3
It's been four months since that fateful day I decided to tell Johnny, we are still separated, but working on it, I'm living back at the manor with Zac, near Johnny until the amniocentesis, at which point I don't even know what will happen... I still remember that day like it was yesterday
"What are you doing here?"
That is a good question, and honestly it's one I don't have the answer to, I guess the best I can do is...
"I need to talk to you..."
Ok, this is so weird, I never thought it would be this way between Johnny and I especially after all the years we've been together
"Ok, go ahead..."
How does one tell their semi-ex husband that they might be pregnant with their baby...
"Well, I, I have to explain a couple things..."
"Alright..."
"First of all, though I am still furious at you, I decided you deserve the truth..."
God this is so much harder than I thought it was going to be.
"Johnny, I'm about three months pregnant, and there's about a 50% chance you're the father..."
"Ok..."
"Ok? Ok? I drop this bombshell and all you can say is..." Ok Chris, come on take a deep breath... ok continue... "Bobby told you something didn't he?"
"What's your plan?"
"Well I plan to stay with mom until I'm far enough along for the amnio paternity screening Ava says we'll know within five days of the test."
"What about Zac?"
"We discussed it, he's gonna come stay with me at mom's and once we figure everything out, I don't know what will happen, but whatever, Johnny, I just need to know, if this baby is yours that you aren't going to try to use him or her to get back with me..."
"I wouldn't do that Chris, if the baby is mine, we'll treat the situation the same way we do now."
"What about Bobby?"
"I told him some things and he left, we aren't gonna be together anymore..."
"Pssh.. did ya cheat on him too!?" I just blurted it out, I didn't mean it like that, he looks so hurt
"What... No.. I'm still so sorry for that I pay for it everyday that I wake up without you beside me..." he's about to cry
"Johnny, I still love you... I just don't know if I'll ever be able to look past this." And baby I want to look past it, I just don't know how
"Just try baby, please, I love you so much..." If there's one thing my mother always taught me it's once a cheater always a cheater, same thing with demons..
"I'll try..."
Here I am, four months later and almost 8 months pregnant, Ava has suggested inducing labor early and performing a cesarean to minimize risk, but now I have to discuss it with the fathers... that's right I said it, fathers, both Zac AND Johnny are gonna be parents, theres about a .4% chance of that happening, but odds have never been in my favor, after the babies are born we'll do the next test to see which baby belongs to which father, Ava must think I'm a big fat whore.
"Ok guys, I have about two weeks before I need to make this decision, to minimize risk we can induce labor and they'll perform a c-section to get the babies out safely.."
"Look babe, you need to do what you think is right, I'll support you no matter what..." Johnny looked an icy stare as Zac spoke
"I agree with Zac, but I think we should induce, it's what's safest for you and the babies.
"Ok then, after the babies are born we'll do the final paternity test..." Chris said
"Wait, why do we need another test?" Johnny asked
"Don't you wanna know which baby will call you daddy?" Zac asked with a slight laugh
"Oh... I suppose you're right, again.."
Chris held a hand of each man, "We're all in this together, we have to be, like it or not we're a family, no matter what..."
"Of course we're a family, but I know you want to see them, so why not call..?" Caleb asked C.J
"Because, even though the elders have lifted their ban on me being able to see my family, my family, or more specifically, my cousins formerly my brothers don't wanna see me..." C.J said irritated
"Cole, baby, we've been married since you left your family, Tracy is almost two, don't you think you should..." Caleb heard a jingle, "I've gotta go, we'll talk later." Caleb kissed C.J good-bye
C.J picked up the phone, he dialed the house
"Hello?" he immediately recognized Pete's voice, and wanted so badly to say something, but hung up
"Who was it babe?" Wyatt asked carrying some bags of groceries
"Wrong number I guess..." Pete said
"I got Chris those cookies he's been bitching about for three days, where's he at anyway?"
"I think they are at mom's talking about the birth inducing or something like that."
"Oh, that's right, it's still so weird that their both the babies' fathers, Ava must think Chris is some kinda big whore..." Wyatt said
"Hey Dave, do you ever think about what it was like before we straddled worlds, and what it would be like if it were just you, me, and Charlie..."
"I don't know, I guess, I just I feel like I'm finally alive, I mean after Jordan died I never thought I would feel this alive again, but I have my mom, I have my cousins, I have you, and Charlie, I feel so complete..."
"I guess I'm just used to being able to do what I want, and not having to do everything by committee all the time, I mean, we aren't the best at what we do anymore..."
"Al, dude, listen, just because you and Chris have a whole lotta issues to work out doesn't mean everyone is against you..."
"Oh PLEASE, this entire family looks at me like I have an enormous scarlet A on my chest, they all think I'm a big whore..."
"You aren't a whore, you had too much to drink and a moment of weakness..."
"All I want is for things to be the way they were before... you know... the thing... It just seems like everyone really hates me and is just pretending to like me..." Alex said
2 weeks later
"Wow... that was.. fast..." Zac said to Ava
"These things don't take much time when everyone's healthy, would you like to meet your children?" Ava said
"But, I don't know which one's mine..."
"Oh... we don't need a test to know that..." Ava said
"What do you mean?"
"She has your eyes, and nose, and the boy, well let's just say he's got Johnny written all over him.." Ava said with a chuckle
"I'd love to meet her..." Zac said and he saw two more doctors walking towards them
The moment the little child was placed in his arms Zac felt a completely new feeling, he felt totally complete, total love flowed through him as he cuddled his child, he felt strange as he looked over at Johnny holding what should be his son.
Johnny held his son, and he felt the love but he couldn't help but feel weirded out as he watched Zac with what should be his daughter..
"Can I see him?" They each asked
"Go ahead, he's in recovery 11." Ava replied
They both walked in and Chris sat up a little
"Hey, we brought you a couple visitors..." Johnny said
"Oh my god, they are perfect..." Chris said
"Baby, Ava told me you have to stay a couple days, but on Saturday Wyatt can come to heal you and you can go home." Zac said
"Let's name these babies... gotta begin with J though..." Chris said
"Jasmine..." Zac said
"Jesse." Johnny said
"I like them, Halliwell though, no more confusion..." Chris said and drifted off to sleep
"Ava said the babies can go home, Chris prepared the nursery at the manor, we should go..." Zac said and called for Wyatt the way Chris had instructed him to do
"Hey wha... Oh my god... She is so beautiful..."
"Yeah, we're ready to go to the manor, can you give us a life." Johnny said
"Yeah, let's go..." Wyatt said and orbed them to the manor, but went into Chris's room... "Hey buddy..."
"They said I have to stay for a couple days..."
"Well they just don't know how we operate do they..." Wyatt said and healed Chris's incision
"Thanks, but I think I'll still stay at least overnight, for Ava's sake..." Chris responded
"I'm sorry for the way I treated you before, I mean, I didn't know..."
"It's ok Wyatt, I'm actually almost past that, I'm considering giving him a second chance, but, I have something with Zac, I'm just not sure what it is..."
Late that night while they were all sleeping Chris was dreaming, he was in a cage, and then a maze, and then he was standing in a living room watching his grown children fight with each other, then they were young again and he was watching them be raised without him... he awoke startled
"Surprise..." said a cloaked demon as he grabbed Chris and shimmers him to what he assumed was the underworld where he was thrown in a cage
He yelled for a while and soon another demon shimmered in and someone else was thrown in the cage with him
"What the hell..." the person yelled
Chris knew this person and then they turned around, "Oh you have GOT to be kidding me!" Chris exclaimed as he saw Alex's face
"Oh shit..." Alex said and put his hands over his face
"If I was gonna die today this was not how I wanted to go..." Chris said
"What are you wearing?" Alex asked
"Oh it's the latest fashion trend... IT'S A HOSPITAL GOWN GENIUS!" Chris yelled
"Sorry, dumb question... Look if we're gonna be trapped together, let's deal with our issues head on..." Alex said
"I have no issues other than you slept with my husband.. oh wait that IS an issue, the ONLY one that matters to me..."
"You must have some other issues, I mean you have treated me like shit since you met me, WHY?!" Alex asked
"I don't know, you've always seemed shifty to me, I guess I was right..." Chris said
"You know something Chris, the world doesn't revolve around you, it's all about YOU, Oh wah wah wah Johnny slept with someone while we were separated, oh boo hoo, woe is me, I'm such a selfish ass hole I can't even see that it's actually all my OWN fault, and you think you're SO powerful, you're just lucky that you haven't met your match yet..." Alex said
"You know something, maybe you're right, maybe I have been selfish, and I've admitted that, I've admitted to my selfishness, but I have never been anything but faithful and loyal to my man, as for fighting I'm just good, and I have a little emotional back up, I know how to control my powers where's the crime..."
"YOU ARE NOTHING, YOU ARE JUST A WHINY BITCH THAT ONLY CARES ABOUT THEMSELF!"
Chris punched Alex in the jaw, "You don't know anything about me, you just think you do, you observe a little something here and there and you think you've got me all figured out, you know why Johnny slept with you, yeah he was drunk, but he saw an easy target, someone who he knew would drop their pants in a second, somebody he wouldn't want a relationship with, somebody ONLY worth a one night stand, tell me something, did he pay you up front or leave it on the night stand?!" Chris fumed
Alex punched Chris this time, "Fuck you!"
"YOU WOULD SLUT!" Chris yelled and punched him back
The cage started to shake and they found themselves in a maze
"Soon they will discover they have no powers..." the first demon said to the second
"What the hell...?" Chris said, "Are you alright?" he asked Alex
"I'm fine, I can't say the same for my jaw though, where'd you learn to punch...?"
"Your mom..."
"Oh that's real mature..." Alex said
"No, Einstein, YOUR MOM, taught us how to fight..."
"Oh... I see..."Alex said
"Stand back..." Chris said and examined the cage, "This cage has two weak spots, if you kick it here, and I kick it here on the count of three it should break off..." Chris said
"Ok..."
They counted and kicked the front of the cage off
"Nice..." Chris said
They made their way through the hallways made of shrubbery, at the third corner they stumbled on a pair of demons, "Well done... let's see what you can do..." the muscular one said
Chris attempted to use telekinesis.. "I got nothing..."
Alex tried his powers, "Me neither..."
The demons formed energy balls, and threw them Chris threw Alex and dropped to the floor, rolling forward and floorswept the demons off their feet, he removed the athame from the thin one's belt and stabbed the muscular one, but got knocked back by a fireball from the thin one...
The thin demon conjured a fireball and Alex kicked him and he was stunned long enough for Chris to stab him
"You know Chris, one of these days you won't be so lucky, would you want your kids to be raised without you?"
"Look, I don't know how we're gonna get out of this, but it's gonna be together..." Chris said
"I know you hate me Chris, but we need to set aside our differences..."
"I don't hate you Alex, I was just mad..."
Two more demons shimmered in and Alex told Chris to trust him
"Hey guys!" Alex called and dodged two energy balls
"What is it?"
"I was just wondering what a boy could do for two sexy demons like yourselves to let him go...?" Alex asked seductively
"What do you mean?" a very intense mean looking demon asked as Alex approached them
"I mean, it must be awfully lonely down here, and I could make you boys feel good, I'm saying if you release me... I'll help you... release..." Alex said and looked into the demon's scowl which softened to intrigue
"What would you do...?"
"Anything you want, anywhere, ANY way you want.." Alex said and licked his lips
"I want it all..." the intense demon said
"But... I just need you to take off this necklace thingy, it's choking me, and I can't have that AND your big cocks choking me, I wouldn't live long enough to give you the release you sexy boys deserve..." Alex said, and the less mean looking demon removed the necklace..
"Now... where to start...?" Alex asked, and double air kicked the demons and smashed them into one another...
"Powers of the witches rise course unseen across the skies come to us who call you near, come to us and settle here..." Alex chanted, and Chris joined in
"Thank god..." Chris said as he tested his powers
"Chris, I meant what I said, cool heads need to prevail, no more of that risky stuff, you have kids to worry about, for their sake, stop pushing the limits.." Alex said
"I hear you... Alex, before we head back to..." As Chris was about to finish they were both hit with athames, Chris in the back, and Alex in the arm...
Alex vanquished the demons, and turned to Chris... "Chris, are you, oh god, come on we have to orb..."
"What's... mine is... yours what's yours is mine... let our powers cross the line... I ...offer up my gift to share switch... our powers through the... a-air." Chris said before passing out
"Chris! Chris!! Chris!!!" Alex yelled, and wanted to be at the house right then and there, and at that moment their surroundings changed, and they were home
"Alex... how..."
"No time... where's Wyatt Chris needs healing..." Alex said and Pete noticed the athame
"WYATT HURRY IT'S BAD!" Pete yelled, Wyatt and David orbed instead of running, he saw his brother on the ground and started healing him
"What happened?" Wyatt asked
"We were kidnapped, and we lost our powers, Chris was about to tell me something, but we got hit with athames..." Alex said holding his hand over his arm, David took notice and healed him
Phoebe sat in her office typing her column, she came across a letter, it didn't have a return address, as she opened it she read,
"Sad and Separated in Seattle..." She read out loud, "Dear Phoebe, I need help, about a year ago I left my family to be with a man a man I love with all my heart, but lately I'm having regrets, I want to see my family, but they made it very clear that I am not welcome by them, I need advice, what should I do, I need my family, but I love my husband and daughter, what should I do? Signed Sad and Separated in Seattle..."
After reading the letter a few times, she began typing for her syndicated column, as she typed she felt dizzy, and a gust of wind blew back her curly hair and she felt as though she was astral projecting as her body lost consciousness, she finds herself in an unfamiliar alley way, she sees two groups of young men approaching each other menacingly, she sees them begin shooting, bullets whizzing past her and even through her as she witnesses the brutal shoot out, after the bullets stop, she sees a woman running towards the alley, followed by... C.J... "Frankie!!!" the woman Phoebe recognizes as an out of touch friend yells for her departed brother.
Phoebe regains her consciousness, "Oh my god..."
"Chris can we talk?" Alex askes
"You saved my life I can give you a few minutes..." Chris said and looks at his watch
"Look, I'm sorry for the things I said, but you have to know, you ARE to blame for what happened between Johnny and me." Alex said
"Ok, sure fine, say I decide to go with that, is that supposed to change the fact that my heart was ripped out because Johnny decided to nail me before I caught him during a little slip of the tongue...?" Chris asked, Alex looked confused
"Wait, he DIDN'T tell you??" Alex asked
"No, first we made up, then out, then he got me in bed, THEN he made the calculated error, of asking ME is I was faithful to HIM, and so in the process, I put two and two together, and THEN he confessed his dirty little secret..." Chris looked at his nightstand as he and Alex heard the baby monitor...
Johnny was in the kitchen with Zac... "How's Chris been?"
"What do you care?" Zac asked unintentionally angry
"Look, I may have fucked up but that doesn't mean I don't care..."
"He's been fine, before the big show, we took yoga, lots of vitamins, and regular checkups, he's fine, or haven't you noticed..."
"Ok, Zac, you don't like me I get that, but like it or not, in a twisted way, we're basically family, our kids share blood, so we need to present a united front..."
"Or you could stay out of mine and Chris's lives..."
"Zac.. I don't think you're hearing me..."
"Look, don't try to spoon feed me your bullshit, I was the one who was there to pick up the pieces of Chris you left shattered, I was the one who held him through it, I was the one who gave him a shoulder, I was his date to two of the most important nights of his life, I was the one he hugged and thanked on both of those nights, and the worst part, I wasn't the one he WANTED to be sharing the good things with, it was you..." Zac said
"I get it ok..."
"No you don't get it, I'm just the stand in, you're the supporting actor for Chris, you will always be that for him, I'm just the guy he thinks he loves because I was there when you weren't, I'll never be his leading man, and that's ok with me, I love him, as a friend, as a lover, as a person, I'll still be there for my daughter, and I'll still be his friend, but I wouldn't be able to live with myself if I got in the way of true love..."
"I know, look, I didn't want Chris to find out the way he did, I wanted us to be back to normal before I dropped that bombshell, but I messed up, I got drunk and I got the companionship I needed to feel, but pleasure was ALL I felt, I didn't even kiss him..." Johnny sad
Alex switched off the monitor... "Right from the horse's mouth..."
"So it was truly honest to god meaningless sex...?" Chris asked
"It was, and honestly if Johnny is as bad in bed for you as he was for me, how is it you have four kids with the guy...?" Alex asked with a smile
"Wait a second, Johnny, my Johnny was bad, wait, scale?" Chris asked sitting up
Alex sat on the bed, "he was like a four, on a twelve scale, what's it like with Zac?"
"Magnificent, he's not as big as Johnny, but he makes up for it in passion and talent, oh god the talent, he does this thing like swiveling I don't know, but Johnny wins hands down..." Chris said, actually enjoying his cousin's company
"If Johnny can beat Zac from the way you practically sprung one from thinking of it, I guess I was a means to an end, and you truly, honestly bud, have nothing to worry about, I'm not interested..."
"Alex, I'm sorry for everything, I never should have treated you the way I did...."
"You're forgiven, I can't say I wouldn't have reacted the same, or even worse..." Alex said
Chris opened his arms to his cousin and they hugged "I want us to be friends, this was fun, let's just give it a shot.." Chris said and they separated
Zac walked in, "Chris can we talk...?" he asked
"Talky, talky, talky, so much talky..." Chris said back and Alex left the room
"Chris baby, I think I wanna go home..."
"Ok, Well, I'll pack up the babies' stuff and we'll go..."
"No, Chris, I think you should stay..."
"What are you saying Zac?"
"I'm saying I think you should stay, you and Johnny owe it to yourselves to try and work this out..."
"Are you saying you don't wanna be with me?" Chris asked
"God no, Chris I love you, and Jasmine more than I can even explain in words, but Chris, I love you enough to let you be truly happy..."
Chris's eyes, glistened as he took in what was being said... "Ok... well... I love you too, and I love you enough to let you raise your daughter..." Chris said
It was Zac's turn to look surprised as he looked at Chris, "Wait, no Chris, I can't take her with me..."
"Yes you can, you'll do great, I'll come see her, I'll be there every weekend, she will still be a part of this family..."
"No, Chris, I can't she's part yours too..."
"Zac, if you leave now, either I go with you, or you take Jasmine."
"Chris, you.. I just want you to be happy..."
"And happy is something I can't be knowing that you are left alone, just take her, you won't regret it, neither will I..." Chris said and kissed Zac on the lips
"I don't wanna leave you, but it's what's right..." Zac said resting his forehead against Chris's
"I know, and it's also right that you take your daughter with you." Chris said and led Zac to the nursery, he picked up Jasmine, and grabbed a diaper bag... Jesse looked up as his twin sister was lifted and he began to cry
"It's ok babies..." Chris said and place Jasmine gently in Zac's arms and put the diaper bag on Zac's shoulders... he stepped forward and kissed Jasmine's forehead, and placed a final kiss goodbye on Zac's lips, stepping back he looked into Zac's eyes, "HOME!" he called and waved his hand orbing them back to Zac's condo.
Chris thought about what had just happened, listening to his son cry for his sister he picked up Jesse and snuggled him, his cries became more soft, and soon subsided, "I know son, we'll be ok..." Chris said
Johnny walked into the nursery, "I'm gonna fix some dinner, are you hungry?"
"Yeah... dinner sounds great..." Chris said with a smile
Johnny fixed a pasta dish and made up the table, "Just in time." He said as he watched Chris walk down the stairs
"Smells great..."
"It's your favorite..." Caleb said
"Great, I've wanted a steak all day.." C.J said
"I took Tracy to the sitter, we have a night to ourselves, I thought we could use this time to talk..." Caleb said
"Talk about what?" C.J feigned wonder
"You, and why you've been so distant lately..."
"Distant... I haven't been distant..." C.J said
"Yes you have, I know you Ceej, it's like once we got married and you had the baby, you lost interest, and regret giving up your life..." Caleb said
"Why are we talking about this, you know how much I love you..."
"Of course I do, and part of knowing that, is knowing you AREN'T happy, and I think I know why..."
"Why is it Freud?" C.J asked
"It's because of everything you had to give up to be here with me, you miss your powers, you miss having your family breathing down your neck, you miss a house full of screaming kids.. admit it, you aren't happy here with me..." Caleb said
"You're right, I do miss them, I go have some regrets, but, I AM happy you, I would be happy with you no matter what..." C.J said as a dark lighter orbed in and an arrow was immediately shot into both of them...
"Wow, Johnny this is delicious, when did you learn how to make something other than scraped toast?" Chris asked
"Well, after you moved to L.A I had some time to myself, and I started reading up on recipes and stuff..." Johnny said and a darklighter orbed in and shot Chris the arrow going through Chris's chest, Johnny threw fire at the demon, vanquishing it, as Chris crumbled to the floor...
Piotr and Wyatt were in the basement with David and Alex when another darklighter orbed in and shot Wyatt and David both with arrows, before getting vanquished by Alex
"Oh god... Chris!" Johnny yelled as he saw him on the floor...
"Oh god... wow... so this is what dying feels like..." Chris said and gasped for air giggling a little
"Don't talk like that, you're gonna be fine... we'll just get Wyatt to heal you..." Johnny said and applied pressure to both sides of Chris's wound
"He's hurt too... I can feel his pain, it's only making.. m-mine worse.." Chris said
Pete rushed in carrying David and Wyatt one under each arm, "We have a big problem..." was all he said
"Well Chris has one too, and he's feeling their pain too, get them in another room.." Johnny said
"Hey... D-don't treat him t-that way, he's j-just as s-scared as you a-a-are..." Chris said and tears started to flow
"Hey, hey, calm down baby, I'm here for you..."
"I'm sorry Johnny, I love you..." Chris said and faded out
"Chris!! CHRIS!!!!" Johnny yelled, he still had a pulse and was just unconscious
Johnny carried Chris into the living room with David and Wyatt on the couches, Pete had already forced their arrows out
"What are we going to do?"
Phoebe was navigating the roads and she found the address she was looking for, a cozy ranch style home and she rang the doorbell, the woman, Dionne Juarez answered the door, "Phoebe, what a surprise..."
"Where is he?" Phoebe asked pushing in
"Where is who?"
"Where is my SON?!" Phoebe asked
"Son? Who? I didn't know you had a son..." Dionne said

"YES... and he's going to be in trouble, please take me to him..."
"Ok... ok... um... we'll teleport it will be faster..." Dionne said
They teleported to a nice sized apartment, and looked around, when Phoebe reached the dining room on their search she saw the two men with arrows in their chests...
