Less than a week later Chris was on a plane leaving San Francisco Airport. He was desperately trying to keep the tears at bay. His mother reacted badly with the news, in fact she hadn't spoken to him since and he still had the handprint on his face. According to her, this is the ultimate betrayal. The following fight had been brutal and Chris was trying desperately to try and forget about it, but he had no look. The image of his mothers face turning white with fury, then her words hit him harder than a semi. 'If you go there don't bother coming back, you will be no son of mine.' He knew that she was angry, and that he should just give her time to calm down, but he couldn't help but wonder if she really meant it.

Sighing, suddenly exhausted he slumped in his seat and closed his eyes, drifting off into a restless sleep.

Landing in Port Angeles, Chris entered the airport lobby feeling nervous as hell; he hadn't seen his father or brother for nearly seven years now. After his mother started dating Dan, she had a big argument with his father and they have been on rocky ground since, this resulted in Chris being forbidden to visit his father again. She even went as far as to try to stop him from talking to them over the phone, but Chris's arguments prevailed over that. What if they didn't recognise me? What if I don't recognise them? Were the main thoughts swimming around in his head. But he needn't have worried. As soon as he stepped off the plane he could see his father and brother bouncing around excitedly near the cafe waiting for him.

Swallowing his nervousness he started to walk towards them, before he had even taken two steps towards them his father turned and spotted him. With a beaming smile that made all nervousness and doubts disappear his father all but ran to him and lifted him into a bruising hug, spinning him around on the spot, Chris couldn't help but laugh. As soon as he was placed back on his feet he was lifted again, this time by his brother who mimicked his father's actions and then held him at arm's length to appraise him. Chris couldn't help but blush.

"You have grown up so much." Leo muttered with a sense of melancholy in his voice. "Your not my baby boy anymore."

Chris felt sad at this "Dad, I will always be your baby boy, but if you ever repeat that I said this with anyone but us in the room I will cheerfully rip your arm off and beat you to death with it." He threatened.

Wyatt and Leo laughed at him, and then he was pulled into a group hug. It was strange Chris thought, I finally have what I thought was missing in my life, but I still don't feel whole.

Little did he know that the missing part of his life was going to be revealed sooner rather than later.
