The charmed ones and Leo looked at Chris with shocked eyes, they did not say anything. They couldn't. What could they? After all they have seen. Chris noted the expressions on their faces and was irked. They were not looking at him angrily nor was there any scorn. That was…unusual. On top of that, they were highly subdued. It didn't make any sense.

"Well, where were you guys? And how could you just leave Wyatt?" he demanded but they simply looked at him. He noticed particularly that Leo couldn't look him in the eyes, his eyes went down while Piper looked conflicted.

"We…we cast a spell" Paige spoke up, being the one to break the ice though her eyes were roving over her nephews. Her nephews, she would have another one. Another one who she had treated so badly. Granted, she didn't treat him as much as Piper or Leo, but she was equally to blame, her and Phoebe. How did she not see it together? How could he not know them? Especially with the way he knew his way around the house. They were so blind she wanted to hit herself.

Chris's eyes went wide when he heard what they said. A spell, of course it was a spell but why did they need to cast a spell? Had there been a demon attack again when he ran away? If so why did they leave without Wyatt? It wasn't making sense.

"A spell for what? Did an-another demon attack? And why didn't you call me if that was the case?"

"Chris I…I am sorry" Piper spoke up after the long silence. At that his eyes widened, why on earth was she apologising him? It didn't make sense. Yet her eyes were rooted at him, she was staring at him with love and regret in her eyes. He wasn't used to it, the tenderness. That reminded him too much of his mother. It hurt too much, and this Piper wasn't his mother. She couldn't do this to him. His heart stuttered as he tried not to break down in front of her. He masked himself while looking at her with steel eyes.

"Why are you apologising? What are you sorry for? Can anyone just answer me? What spell did you use?" Chris demanded, now becoming more and more anxious. Finally it was Phoebe who spoke up, her eyes full off unshed tears.

"We cast a spell to see the future, your future, we wanted to know just to be sure but now I wish we hadn't".

As soon as the words left Phoebe, Chris froze up and his eyes widened.

"You what…?" his heart was on fire as that registered and the glances he was getting from his parents now made sense "No"

"Chris" Leo spoke up but Chris shook his head.

"No."

Leo walked towards Chris but that was the wrong move, as soon as he attempted that Chris orbed away with Wyatt still in his arms. In frustration Leo looked down. He could sense him easily but he didn't bother chasing him, it was clear that Chris would runaway again, he didn't want to talk.

"We have created such a mess" Piper whispered, no one spoke up to correct her.
