The Power of Three [Twilight/Charmed]

Part One - Chapter Fourteen: Happy Birthday Amelia

The morning of the 12th of April arrived faster than Amelia would have thought and although the brunette was happy enough to forget that it was her eighteenth birthday; her siblings just wouldn't let her and neither would her relatives.

Running a hand through her hair, Amelia tidied the shelves in the library; Mrs Cooper had been extra nice to her today and seemed to be in a lot better mood as of late.

Amelia stepped back into a warm chest making her still, before Amelia swallowed and turned to face Paul; who was standing behind her with a tight smile on his face.

Since the confrontation with the other supernatural beings of Forks and La Push, things had been pretty much silent on that front while the siblings prepared to get rid of Victoria.

Charlie hadn't called Bella home and it was clear that as her finals started to take place that he wasn't going to forgive her soon.

Edward had stopped glaring at Alicia while she was at school and it was clear that Carlisle and Esme had told him the stories of what she was capable of since he seemed to have some sort of new found respect for her.

In the case of the Quileute's, they had avoided the Matthews siblings at all costs; Sam had ordered the pack to keep their distance from the siblings something that had caused him problems with Paul and Leah, who had taken his order personally and given him hell for it.

So the last place at Amelia ever expected to find Paul was back in the library with her; he tilted his head curiously as he watched her for a moment, he had missed not being able to come and see her or check on her.

"I know that you probably don't want to see me... but I just wanted to wish you a happy birthday," Paul murmured before handed her a small velvet drawstring pouch that made Amelia look at him confused; he wasn't like anything she knew about shape-shifters and the Elders weren't being that helpful right now.

"Paul, you didn't have to do this," Amelia whispered opening it to reveal a handcrafted a sterling silver wolf howling, which was finely detailed with engravings and had a traditional liquid silver and turquoise chain.

"It's beautiful thank you," Amelia said making Paul smile at her before he signalled for her to turn around so that he could put it on her, his hands trialled delicately as he placed the necklace on her.

"I wanted to get you something special," Paul replied with a shrug as she turned back to face him, his brown eyes focused briefly on the necklace before he looked up at her face.

Paul hated Sam for putting in the injunction that he was to stay away from Amelia; it wasn't something that Paul wanted and he knew that Sam would be angry with him for coming to see her but he simply didn't care anymore.

"I can't believe you are eighteen," Piper Halliwell announced with a smile as she admired the pink wrap dress in midi length paired with silver heeled sandals that Amelia was wearing; it had been a gift from her sister Phoebe.

Amelia nodded her head as she tried to keep herself from messing with the necklace that Paul had given her, she knew it would give away that it was special to her.

Alicia grinned moving towards her sister, she was wearing a floral placement viscose blouse and black high waisted trousers paired with black high heels; she was trying to look a bit over since she was now three years younger than her sister.

"It seems like only yesterday that myself and Alexandria were bring her home," Jonathon mused moving to hug his eldest daughter; who flashed him a smile, she knew that big occasions like this were hard for him since her mother's death, it reminded him of how much she was missing.

"Going soft there Jon?" Leo Wyatt asked making handing his daughter to Piper who grinned as she held her daughter close; this was why the older Charmed Ones had retired, they wanted more time with their three children.

"Damn right I am Wyatt... it's not every day your eldest daughter turns eighteen," Jonathon replied proudly making Amelia blush before she noticed that Phoebe was eyeing the necklace around her neck.

Biting her lip, Amelia quickly excused herself to the kitchen, she was only to aware what Phoebe was like when she caught onto something; Amelia didn't need another Halliwell-Inquisition.

"So who's the necklace from?" Phoebe asked innocently corning Amelia in the kitchen, the brunette groaning wondering if there was anything that she could do to escape this; Paige glanced between the two of them as she stepped into the kitchen.

"Amelia's got a boyfriend," Phoebe teased hugging her younger cousin, who groaned as she realised that this was going from bad to worse.

Paige looked at her with interest, judging by the colour that Amelia had turned, Phoebe hadn't been far off the mark.

The two older witches looked at Amelia expectantly, wanting for her to tell them about her boyfriend; they had never thought it would happen.

"We've only had one date and he's from La Push, one of their shape-shifters," Amelia revealed nervously before her two cousins cooed at her sweetly before their husband's appeared.

The two men raised an eyebrow at their wives before Coop moved to control his wife, Phoebe tended to get a little excited when things like this happened; it was the empath in her that loved to meddle.

Jonathon smiled softly as he passed something to Amelia as he prepared to leave with the others to travel home; Amelia looked at him confused wondering what it was and why he had wanted until now to give it to her.

"It's from your mother," Jonathon murmured softly making Amelia still as she looked down at the items that she had been given; the first was a white envelope and the second was a brown package.

Tears filled Amelia's eyes as she thought of her mother, the brunette had been five years old when her mother had been murdered; it was something that hung over the Charmed Ones and that they couldn't escape.

The constant reminder of their loss was what drove them to eradicate evil from the world and why the older Charmed Ones had walked away when they had; they didn't wish to leave their own children motherless after seeing how it had affected their cousins.

"I'll see you for Alicia's birthday in July," Jonathon said nodding his head, he still had problems talking about his late wife; it had killed him that he has lost her while he was immortal due to him being a Whitelighter.

Amelia watched as her father orbed away, Aiden offering her a small smile as he left her alone with the gift that she had been given; the brunette didn't know what to think about what she had been gifted with.

Biting her lip, Amelia carefully opened the brown package which revealed a small book that hadn't been written in.

Amelia frowned wondering why her mother had left her this then she moved to open the letter that she had been given; Amelia felt tears pricked her eyes as she read the note from her mother.

"Your road's been the longest, Mia. But I was never worried about you. You know why? Because I had a premonition the day you were born. You'll do amazing things and I hope you record them in this, Love Mummy x,"
