Amelia yawned walking into Aaron's nursery and smiled tiredly at the sight of her son, she knew he was only a couple of days old but he couldn't half cry when he wanted her or Paul's attention.

"It's okay," Amelia murmured surprised that Paul had managed to sleep through their newborn son's cries, he was exhausted and tried to do his fair share when it came to Aaron.

Amelia carefully picked Aaron up and held him close, she bounced him carefully in her arms and sighed knowing that things would only get more difficult when Paul returned to active pack duties.

Amelia silently walked out of the nursery and headed downstairs, Aaron's cries turning into whimpers as he snuggled into his mother's arms.

Reaching the bottom of the stairs, Amelia headed for the kitchen so that she could warm Aaron's bottle; she smiled down at her son knowing that she was still getting used to the fact that she was a mother.

Amelia set about warming Aaron's milk and before long she was walking into the lounge to feed him.

Amelia moved to turn on the light so that she could see what she was doing, she smiled down at Aaron as she flicked the light on; it was only then that Amelia noticed what was in the rooms.

"What the hell?" Amelia exclaimed looking around the room that was filled with all sorts of different gifts, she stared speechlessly at the gifts wondering where they had come from and how they had gotten into her home.

A thud upstairs made Amelia glance at the ceiling knowing that Paul had woken up, he had heard her and was coming down the stairs to see what was wrong.

"Lia?" Paul called concerned hurrying into the lounge, he stopped at the sight of the gifts wondering where they had come from; they hadn't been there when he had gone to bed with Amelia.

"I don't understand," Paul muttered shaking his head sitting down beside his fiancée and looked at Aiden and Alicia, it was now morning and the couple had called Amelia's siblings to find out what was going on.

Amelia shifted her hold on Aaron and looked around at the gifts annoyed, the brunette really hadn't thought that she'd have this problem to deal with.

"They're gifts from the magical community," Alicia explained looking through some of the gifts that had been sent to the couple, they were from all around the world and it surprised her how quickly they had arrived.

Paul swallowed viewing his living room, he couldn't believe that people were sending stuff to his son like this; he hadn't realised just how important Amelia was to the world.

"But why?" Paul asked shaking his head and looked down at his son, he smiled softly at his sleeping form knowing that his son was special to him; just as much as his mother was.

Amelia chewed on her lip glancing at her siblings, she had never really thought that she was important to the world but she was and there was no ignoring it now.

"I'm a Charmed one... Aaron is the firstborn child of a Charmed one, the magical community wants to celebrate his birth," Amelia mumbled with a shrug of her shoulders; she often forgot that because of her status as a Charmed one that everyone looked up to her.

Paul nodded his head stiffly knowing that he was going to have to get used to this, everyone knew who Amelia was and by extension they would know who is son was now that he had been born.

"This is getting ridiculous," Amelia grumbled with a shake of her head, she looked around the living room as Sam and Jacob brought them some things that had arrived at the Cullens house for the baby.

Paul crossed his arms annoyed as he eyed the gifts that had come from many of the vampires that had helped them confront the Volturi months ago.

The Egyptian coven had sent a solid gold amulet for Aaron and a set of jewellery had arrived for Amelia; they were clearly expensive and very old, even if they looked brand new.

The Amazon coven had sent a beautiful craved wooden jaguar for Aaron and had woven baby carrier for Amelia; the gifts had been a surprise and the couple really hadn't been expecting them.

The Denali coven had sent a beautifully woven blanket along with a promise that Garrett and Kate would be visiting the couple soon, they were excited to meet Aaron and to check on Amelia again.

The Irish coven had sent a baby's mobile for Aaron and a box of celebratory wine for the parents, they weren't the closest to the witches but had felt the need to send something to show their connection to the couple and their cause.

There were also small gifts from the nomads that had helped with the confrontation, they had all been sent to the Cullens who had sent their own personal gifts from each of the couples.

Carlisle and Esme had sent the couple a baby's first photo album, Jasper and Alice had sent a couple of fashionable baby grows and clothes for the Aaron, Edward and Bella had sent a silver engraved Noah's ark money box and finally Emmett and Rosalie had sent a blue star fleece baby wrap.

"What is all this stuff?" Sam asked knowing that he and Emily had nowhere near received anything like this when Luca was born; he glanced at Paul knowing that he didn't envy his friend for getting all of these things.

Amelia sighed moving to check on Aaron, she doubted that this was the last of the stuff and she wasn't sure how much more would come; she recalled her aunt Piper warning her about this and she wished that she would have listened.

"Gifts from the magical community because Amelia is a Charmed one," Paul muttered with a shake of his head, he didn't know where they were going to put all of the things that they had received.

Amelia was already writing thank you notes for the gifts and she had asked Emily to pick more up for her since the gifts just kept arriving.

Sam and Jacob shared a look as they looked around the room, they had learnt a lot about the witches in the year that they had known them; but they had never thought that they were this popular.

"Good luck," Jacob chuckled as Amelia came downstairs carrying Aaron, she offered Sam and Jacob a smile as Paul moved to take him.

They were surprised how much Paul had changed since the birth of his son, he was more attentive than before even if he still was a predominate force in the pack.

The two wolves prepared to head back to their own homes when they heard a neigh come from the kitchen, only for a white horse to appear.

"Is that a unicorn?" Jacob asked shocked when a white horse passed the kitchen door as Amelia quickly hurried into the kitchen muttering a curse.

The three wolves stared speechlessly for a moment before Sam and Jacob chuckled knowing that this was going to be interesting.

Paul was going to need all the help that he could get to sort through all of these gifts and now deal with the unicorn that someone had thought would make a wonderful gift.

Paul sighed as he looked down at his son hoping that this was the last of the gifts that were going to show up.
