The Power of Three [Twilight/Charmed]

Part Two - Chapter Eleven: Awakening

The living room at the Cullens house was silent as they waited for Bella to wake up from her transformation; Rosalie held Renesmee close to her as she listened to the last few beats of Bella's heart. 

Amelia was stood next to Paul, who was here with Jacob so that they could help contain the newborn vampire if she lost control and went for her daughter; no one knew what Bella would be like when she woke up. 

"This is it," Emmett said softly as Bella's heart finally stopped beating, everyone was silent for a moment as they listened quietly for movement; Alicia glanced at Amelia, they all knew that if Bella attacked that Amelia was there first line of defence without hurting her. 

Paul moved closer to Amelia glancing at Leah and Seth, who were also in attendance; everyone was aware that there was a lot at stake right now and until Bella was out of the house then no one was going to relax.

"How do you think she'll take the news?" Leah asked softly looking between Amelia and Alice, the two had reassured everyone that while Bella would be a little upset; she would accept the news that her daughter had been imprinted on by a member of the pack. 

"It'll be okay," Amelia said reassuring her, she looked at the she-wolf for a moment before they all heard Bella and Edward leave to go hunting. 

There was a collective sigh of relief as they all relaxed, they all knew that they would have to be wary of the new Bella; Aiden pushed himself to his feet making Leah look at him confused. 

"I better call Charlie... let him know how it went," Aiden murmured making Leah nod in agreement; the chief of police had been shocked to learn that he was now a grandfather. 

Alicia sighed lacing her fingers with Embry's, he looked at his imprint before she flashed him a smile leading him out of the living room.

Paul shifted uneasily as Amelia made her way towards Edward and Bella as they returned from their hunt; they couldn't allow the vampire near Renesmee until they were sure that she wouldn't kill her. 

Jacob watched as Amelia stopped several feet from Bella, who stared at her concerned as she realised what the witch was doing; she looked at Edward nervously, who offered her a reassuring smile. 

"It's better if we test you on me than having you go for Renesmee," Amelia reassured shrugging as she crossed her arms, she heard Paul move closer as if preparing for the worst; he didn't like the fact that Amelia had volunteered to be test Bella's control. 

Licking her lips, Bella carefully stepped towards Amelia and took a sniff of the witch before she wrinkled her nose; she then looked at Paul and Jacob knowing that the smell was them. 

"I can see what everyone is talking about... no offense Amelia but you stink of wet dog," Bella teased making Amelia smile at her while Edward chuckle as he pressed a kiss to her head pleased with the development. 

Paul moved closer to Amelia, who flashed him a smile before the brunette turned her attention to Edward knowing that they needed to talk about what they would do. 

"I was thinking that we gave her a small warning before we take her to see Renesmee," Amelia said making Bella glare at the brunette, she didn't know what was going on but she didn't like the sound of it already. 

Edward nodded his head watching at Amelia, she was right and whatever she had seen couldn't have been good if she was suggesting that they tell Bella now.

"Warn me about what?" Bella asked confused as Paul carefully drew Amelia close to him, he didn't like the idea of pushing the newborn further than what they were prepared for; they had tested the boundaries enough today for his liking. 

"Bella, do you remember when I told you about imprinting?" Jacob asked looking at his former best friend, he knew that she had been interested in why Paul was so taken with Amelia when she had disliked the brunette and he had told her about it. 

Bella nodded her head confused before she stopped and looked at him realising what he was talking about. 

"We can't choose who it happens with. And it doesn't mean what you think, Bella. I promise," Jacob rambled while Bella stalked towards him, Amelia moved to step in front of the vampire making Paul snarl in warning; he had a feeling that his girlfriend had some sort of death wish. 

"It's not Jacob, Bella," Amelia stated realising that Bella thought that Jacob had imprinted on Renesmee; Bella blinked at her, her red eyes glancing at Jacob as Edward moved to calm her down. 

"Nessie is fine," Jacob reassured trying to help calm her down, however Bella glared at her former best friend as he heard what he had called her daughter; Amelia shot the alpha a look before turning her attention to a furious Bella. 

"Nessie? You nicknamed my daughter after the Loch Ness MONSTER?" Bella shouted angrily as Leah appeared in her wolf form while Aiden watched from a little away. 

Paul watched Bella warily wondering when she would attack, Amelia shifted closer to Bella making everyone look at her as if she was crazy; there was no way to reason with an angry newborn. 

"Renesmee is a bit of a mouthful... Ness doesn't mind," Amelia told her gently making Bella take a deep breath as a couple of wolves watched her in case she attacked; they didn't need Amelia losing her life since they knew what Paul would do.

It wasn't long before Renesmee was in Bella's arms, the little girl looking up at her mother with big brown eyes while everyone watched them anxiously; Bella smiled down at her daughter amazed by her. 

"Who imprinted on her?" Bella asked looking at Amelia, she knew that Amelia was helping her slightly with her own empathy paired with Jasper's and she was grateful for that.

There was a silence for a moment before Seth stepped forward, he looked at Bella nervously who watched him a little surprised that it had been him. Bella knew that most of the wolves that hung around the Cullens house had imprints themselves but she hadn't expected it to be him. 

Seth had never really had a problem with the Cullens, he was one of the easier members of the pack for them to get along with and Edward had mentioned that Seth had the purest, sincerest, kindest minds he'd ever heard. 

"I'm sorry Bella... I didn't mean for it to happen," Seth whispered concerned that she might turn around and attempt to kill him; he had heard how upset she had been when she had thought it was Jacob. 

Bella shook her head smiling at Seth, she had to admit that now she had calmed down a little and allowed the news to sink in that she was happy that it had been Seth, who had imprinted on Renesmee. 

Bella hadn't liked the thought that Jacob had imprinted on her daughter, not only was it weird since he had once loved her but he deserved to be happy after what she had put him through and now that he had Lizzie everything seemed to fall into place. 

"It's okay Seth," Bella said reassuringly, she felt different now that she was a vampire and the world seemed so much clearer to her than it had been before.
