Hi guys,
as you can see I've been busy and I've written another little story of my favorite subjects Wyatt and Chris. Here there are little children and Wyatt will find out something important!
Disclaimer: I don't own anything! If I did, certainly more Wyatt and Chris in the show!
Summary:
Every time Wyatt looks at his baby brother, more specific into his green eyes, he knows there's something he's missing. Yet he can't figure it out as his parents keep silent. So he tries to find it out on his own, but is it really worth it?
The Secret of My Brother
[/b]A SHORT TIME AFTER CHRIS' BIRTH/DEATH
Two persons stood in a door to a room where two little babies were sleeping peacefully. Nothing could disturb their peace, yet their mother was in an emotional turmoil. She didn't know how to act to anything around her, but she had to. Their father was also shattered to his core but tried to go on, anyway.
"You can't deny what happened. You never can," a male voice insisted tiredly. He looked at his sleeping sons and smiled.
"I can try," a female voice whispered. "I don't want them to know about what could have been. History can't repeat itself, can it? I don't want to …"
"What if they ask? Wyatt would regonize his baby brother as he got to know him as an adult."
"He can't remember him," she continued crying.
"He would. Plus, he saw him getting hurt and …" Here he stopped, because he couldn't face the truth. Not now, not ever.
"Please let us try. If they ever ask, we'll tell them about it. Please!"
"Okay," he whispered. His eyes were still glued to his boys, but more on his youngest son. The boy he lost and gained on the same day.
The woman looked at her husband. As he'd told about her baby's death, she was in denial but it was real. The pain reminded her of losing Prue, yet it was ten times worse. She couldn't live with that knowledge.
The man looked at his wife and didn't know how to help her. Even if he couldn't help himself. The death of his baby boy, done by his old mentor, and not able to save him had shattered him. He felt betrayed and lost. What he'd done before would hunt him for good.
EIGHT YEARS LATER
The years had passed by so quickly that many photos showed now the happiness of two young boys and their even more proudly parents. Now the boys were in school with a year difference, but they also attended Magic School, mostly for a day or two weekly. It depended on their parents.
Wyatt and Chris were close as their brotherly link was growing steadily and they shared everything. Well, most of it, because some things just belonged to the older boy and others to the younger one. Still, nothing could come between them, not even demons and school jerks. Besides, Wyatt was protecting his little brother with such a fierce that anyone was proud of him. Plus, he watched over him like a hawk.
Piper and Leo were still together, yet the parents had their own lives but watched over their children anytime. The eldest Charmed One had sold her club and opened her own restaurant where she could cook now more recipes but it was well-balanced – for her kids. After several encounters with the Elders Leo had taken the fall from the grace and had become a mortal, again. He'd watched over the kids when his wife couldn't, yet through Paige he'd worked later as the headmaster of Magic School.
After the ultimate battle the family had come to peace and so the younger sisters had had their own families. At least, Piper and Leo had only stayed at the Manor and had educated their boys – with their magic and knowledge. Still, the kids had their own heads.
Wyatt, now at ten, felt drawn to the attic and he knew it had something to do with his baby brother who was now eight. Still, the brat followed him anywhere. So now.
"Wy, why are you standing in front of the attic? You know we're not allowed in there!" Chris said behind his brother, afraid of his Mom now.
"I know, but I need to find something out. Which is in the attic and it has to do with you."
"Me? You're kidding me, right?" But his big brother shook his head. "Oh. Why's that?"
"Your eyes. Everything around you. I can't remember." The blond went with his hand through his hair. "It's every time I look at you."
"Should we ask Mom and Dad?"
"No, I need to figure it out myself. Promise me, do not tell them about this! It's my secret and now yours. Please, Chris, promise!"
Chris looked up at this. He could see Wyatt was desperate. "Okay," he whispered. "But if they find out, I don't know you. Deal?"
Wyatt laughed openly. This was his little brother good for. Making him laugh and happy. And vice versa. "Deal. How about we play now? Tomorrow we're at Magic School – with Dad."
"Cool. With our powers?"
"But only if we don't break anything, clear?"
The little brunette nodded eagerly and ran down the stairs to the conservatory, his favorite playing place. With his telekinesis he made himself room – to practise his powers. His older brother joined him soon and so their afternoon went by until their parents came home.
After dinner all four played together but the boys tried to annoy their powers by using their powers, yet it didn't work as they could see right through their little tricks. What made them sulk.
"Boys, how often have we told you not to use your powers for this? That's personal gain," Leo scolded amused.
"But that's not personal gain," Wyatt contradicted quickly. "It's not for me or Chris, only for you both. Nothing for us. Definitely not. Scout's honor!"
Piper snickered at her eldest boy's explanation. "If you say so, but think about it, Wy!" She could see how her boy swallowed hard. "Those little 'uses' were mostly for you both. To help you win."
"Are there consequences?" Chris asked afraid. For a moment he could feel three sets of eyes on him. "What?" he now asked confused.
"Nothing," Leo replied quickly. The father regained his composure by clearing his throat. "Anyway, if you won't have consequences, you stop this now, okay? Maybe the Elders will be nice to you!"
The boys looked at each other but then reluctantly nodded, fearing the Elders now. However, it had been a long day and the younger son tried hard to suppress a yawn. Unfortunately, it didn't go unnoticed by his parents and brother. But he had to try to stay open up – still.
"Come on, Chris. Up to bed," Piper said and stood up, grabbing her baby boy and was ready to bring him there. "You'll speak with Wyatt while I'll bring our little sunshine to bed. They're hiding something."
"Okay. Good night, Chrissie," Leo said, kissing his son on the forehead before turning to his eldest. "So Wy, what's up?"
The blond followed with his eyes his younger brother. He sighed. "There's nothing, Dad. Really, I swear. No need to worry."
The father raised an eyebrow. "I suppose I should believe you, but something tells me you're only trying to distract me with this."
Wyatt smiled. "If you think so, but hey. Let's play a bit more before Mom returns, shall we?"
Leo sighed. His son wasn't as good at lying as his younger brother, yet he seemed to learn. He knew his sons played together many pranks if only to annoy them. But now? Did he have a choice? Definitely not, so he did as asked.
MEANWHILE UPSTAIRS
The mother tried to bring her baby boy into a bed but he refused. "Come on, peanut. We both know you are tired, so stop fighting please!"
"Mommy, can I ask you something?" Chris asked tiredly and leaned onto his Mom's chest.
"Only if you sleep after that." She kissed him on his head lovingly. "What is it you want to know, peanut?"
"Well, don't be mad but why does everyone look at me like I'm a ghost? No offense, but I can feel it."
Piper only held him tighter and let silent tears fall on his brown hair. She'd feared this question. "You're not a ghost, believe me. You're very much alive and we love you so much, because you're the apple of our eye." Another kiss. "Don't worry so much. You're just a kid."
"Okay, Mommy. Later you'll tell me, right?"
"Sure, but only when you're old enough to understand, okay baby?" He nodded against her. "And now sleep. I can see that and don't argue!"
Chris smiled and obeyed. He fell asleep as his mother gently removed him from her top and laid his head back on the pillow where he soundly slept.
Piper kissed him a last time and caressed his head lovingly before she turned and joined her other men back in the conservatory where they played still.
'DREAM OF ME'
Not quite an hour later Wyatt also was ready to fall asleep in sitting. He blinked several times, to fight his sleep, yet he failed. A few words came only out, "Not tired, no bed."
Leo signaled his wife that he'd bring him upstairs now. Smiling he grabbed his son, "Yeah, I can see that. Still, you're going now. Chris misses you right now. All alone."
"Demon?"
"Yeah, he needs you for his protection. So we go!" Leo changed his son's position and kissed his wife quickly before going to the boys' nursery where his younger son was already sleeping. He smiled and tucked his older son in. "Good night, Wy."
"Night Daddy. Love ya." Saying those words and the boy was asleep.
Another smile. "Love you too, son. I look after your brother once more and then you both are alone. Sleep well." He kissed him on his head lovingly. Then he walked to his baby boy and memories welled up he'd rather forget. For good. "Oh my boy. I love you so much."
"Daddy?" the brunette asked sleepily. "What's up with you?"
Leo tried hard to suppress his upcoming tears but he managed. "There isn't anything, son. Don't worry so much. You're too young for that." He kissed him on his head. "Sleep well, my baby boy."
"G'night, Daddy. Sweet dreams."
The father watched him turn in bed and saw how his leg came out. He smiled amused and put it back before standing up and closing the door. "Good night, boys. Sleep well," he whispered. Carefully it closed and the man walked back to his wife.
Silence ruled the boys' room for a while. Out of one bed hung an arm and a leg and the bed's owner slept on his stomach. In the other one its owner tossed and was confused. Pictures came, only they didn't make sense in his young mind.
IN WYATT'S DREAM
He was a baby and a stranger was looking onto him. His forcefield was up, meaning he couldn't trust him, yet there was something familiar about this stranger.
"Even you'll trust me. One day," he'd said.
The stranger was around more after that incident and he'd often heard the name 'Chris'. Now the name of his baby brother and this was the first thing what confused him. How could that be? Still, when no one was looking, the stranger, 'Chris', came close by, yet not too close. My forcefield.
More and more he got used to his presence, though the words 'Chris' was saying sometimes he couldn't understand. Still, there was something familiar but to get him trust wasn't easy. Yet some words stayed in his young mind.
"By God, if I can't save you, I'll stop you."
Then many evil beings were always after him and so strange men came. They saw in him their reborn leader. Being hit by some strange light he didn't like his family anymore and those strange men took him. Yet it was not his family who saved him. It was 'Chris' and he began to trust him. Fully.
Later Mom got pregnant and he was told he'd be a big brother then and that he'd have to protect his soon baby brother. 'Chris' now often played with him and they became really close. Like brothers. They spent now a lot of time together.
A last time he saw this 'Chris' was when he protected him from this other man, Dad's friend. Yet 'Chris' was here and then he fell, being hurt by Dad's friend and Dad came. He was taken.
"No!"
END OF WYATT'S DREAM
"No!" Wyatt shouted in reality and woke with that his baby brother up who ran to him and shook him immediately. A while later their parents followed.
"Wy, what happened? What was your dream about?" Chris asked bewildered and leaned onto his brother, hoping to bring him back.
"Chris, Wyatt, what's going on? Everything okay?" Leo asked afraid while his wife didn't know what to do. Both wanted to help their sons, yet they'd learned some time ago the boys could solve problems on their own.
"Wyatt," Chris called again, crying softly as his older brother didn't react. "Come on, Wy. Talk to me," he begged, choking on his tears.
On robot Wyatt took his baby brother in a tight embrace and cried with him for a while. "I'm sorry, Chris," he apologized. "For waking you up and scaring you."
"It's okay. You did the same when I was little." The blond smiled and the brunette turned to their parents. "I think you can leave now. We have everything under control."
Briefly Piper and Leo looked at each other before going to each child and kissing them on their heads. They walked back to the door and looked once back at their children before going back to their own bedroom. On their own, the parents worried and feared for the worst.
Back in the boys' room, Chris laid his head on his brother's chest and said bluntly, "Now that Mom and Dad are gone, you can tell me what you dreamed about, because you were scared to death."
Wyatt stroke over his brother's hair and kissed him briefly. "But only if you remain silent about what I have to say and if it stays between us. Nothing to anyone. Promise?"
"Okay. And now spill!"
Wyatt laughed now. "Please never change, Chris. You're the best thing ever happened to me. Okay, but it may sound weird. I've dreamed about a man who was here before you were born and he was named 'Chris' too. In the end he got hurt saving me but what happened with him after that I don't know. Yet."
Chris looked up at this. His mind came to a conclusion what made him actually afraid. So he stuttered nervously, "Maybe … maybe this is why everybody is staring at me. Like … like I'm a ghost or something, you know."
"Are you sure you're not imaging this?" The younger boy shook his head to confirm. "Alright, since when are you feeling it? Long or just recently?"
"I guess, it's been my whole life, because my mind had registered the word 'again' from several adults' mouth. Almost everyone in our family, except the cousins." Chris looked at his big brother and waited for his reaction.
Wyatt remained silent for a while but then an idea hit him. "How about we'll try to go into the attic tomorrow and find out what secret there is? I know the attic is the key – to find this out."
"If there's a time, we'd be alone here once, then tell me, please! When Mom leaves, Dad comes. It's as if we're under supervision 24/7. No chance!"
"Point taken. I promise we'll find a way. Besides, Dad's always correcting his papers after he returns from work. So, there's a chance, believe me. The only thing is that we'll have to be very quiet, so that we wouldn't be caught."
As an answer Chris only rolled his eyes and decided to use Wyatt now as his pillow. And he was already lying in Wyatt's bed, so no need to return in his own one. It looked like his older brother didn't seem to mind. So he just made himself comfortable and fell asleep within seconds.
Wyatt really liked it when his baby brother slept on his chest. It had a calming effect on him. Like always. Only a few minutes later the older boy was asleep as well.
