Vicious Cycle

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

"C.J..."

"The only C.J I know is....... Oh my lord, C.J my whitelighter is your
son?"

"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...

"Oh my god, Caleb, C.J..." Phoebe said, "CHRIS! WYATT!! HEN DAVID!!!!!"

"What's... Oh no..."

"DAVID!! WYATT!!!! CHRIS!!!!!!" Phoebe shrieked

"Who are they..."

"My nephews..."

"WYATT!! CHRIS!!!! DAVID!!!!!" Phoebe yelled

"Can't they hear you?"

"Something's wrong..."

All the young men lay in pain, bleeding, and dying slowly...

"What could be wrong...?"

Phoebe grabbed a hold of C.J's arrow to pull it out and had a vision

**Vision**

Two coffins in a cemetery and the family mourning

**End Vision**

"Oh god..." Phoebe said

"What's wrong?"

"Everything, we need to get another whitelighter here FAST!" Phoebe said

"How?"
