Part 1
The Sequel to "Heritage". I do not own any part of Charmed, I just write about it.
"What do you think the roses or the lilies?" Paige asked anxiously.
Emily smiled and replied, "I like the lilies. I think they're perfect."
Paige grinned and said, "Yes, that's what I think."
Michael groaned, and James flashed him a grin, "It's only going to get worse son."
"It wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't for that damn Gerald." Michael muttered.
"What do you mean?" James whispered.
"He told Paige the wedding was on him, and go crazy. There is no limit on price, so Paige is going all out.please, kill me," Michael begged.
Paige playfully slapped him and said, "Be quiet. All you have to do is show up and not skip out. This is all on our shoulders."
Emily smiled and said, "I'm sure we'll be fine."
"Thanks again for helping me plan this out. My sisters help out too, but it's nice to get someone else's opinion." Paige commented.
"Not a problem. Since I don't have a girl to do this with, you're the closest I can get to actually having a daughter get married. Which reminds me." Emily replied. She looked pointedly at James, who nodded.
"What's going on?" Michael asked suspiciously.
"We wanted to give you your wedding present early, so it wouldn't get lost in the haze of the wedding," Emily explained. She pulled out a box and handed it to Paige. "Here you go."
"Thank you." Paige said as she opened the box. She gasped at the contents, and pulled out an amethyst gem the size of her hand. She looked at it, and demanded, "This is beautiful.I can't accept it. It must have cost a fortune."
"Not at all. We found it at the Asia dig, and thought we'd give it to you. After all, you helped save me from that evil demon." Emily said firmly.
Paige looked up at her, and said softly, "Thank you. I love it."
"So, how is everyone?" James questioned.
"Doing well. Gabriel is helping is father and uncle get used to the change, and everyone is really looking forward to the wedding," Michael replied. "All in all, things are looking up."

"You're sure they have it," Kritoran demanded.
"Yes, Master. I saw it with my own eyes. The female witch now has it," Beras replied.
"Excellent. This is our chance to become the leaders of the Underworld. All we have to do is use it, and the Charmed Ones will fall to our power." Kritoran said excitedly.

"Hey guys," Paige commented as she and Michael walked in.
Phoebe looked up from where she was sitting with Piper, and smiled, "How are the plans going?"
"Excellent thanks for asking. Although Michael seems to be teetering on collapse," Paige teased.
Michael grimaced, and said, "I'm sorry, but this is all so complicated. Can't we just elope?"
"Don't even tease about that," Piper snapped playfully. "The Halliwell sisters haven't been married in a real ceremony yet, and at least one of us will."
"What is that?" Phoebe asked curiously as she saw the crystal.
"It's a gift from Michael's parents," Paige explained, "It's impressive, isn't it."
Phoebe was about to respond when Gabriel appeared with Cole and Gerald. "Hey, there are my boys. How goes the training?"
Cole and Gerald both groaned and sat down heavily on the couches, "Unbelievable. Our son's worse than a drill sergeant. I don't know where he gets it from." Cole murmured.
"My whole body hurts to much to move," Gerald complained.
"Huh.I seem to recall a certain someone who pushed me hard at sword training," Phoebe muttered.
"Traitor," Cole said playfully. "Seriously, the training is going fine. Gabriel is helping us along very nicely."
Gabriel grinned and said, "Give me a few more weeks and you'll be able to assume your Azarian form. I should warn you, the first transformation may be slightly painful."
Gerald groaned and said, "It can't this bad. Someone put me out of my misery."
"Don't tempt me," Michael growled, "You and your damn unlimited bank accounts are already on my black list."
"That reminds me," Gerald commented, "I hope no one minds, but I already talked to the bank and paid off the remaining mortgage on the two houses, and your cars."
"You did what?" Phoebe and Piper gasped.
"Um.aren't you happier now," Gerald said confusion.
Cole leaned over and said, "Gerald, you don't have to buy your way into this family. We accept you for what you are. That was nice, but unnecessary."
"Hey, I was just protecting my new in-laws," Gerald protested, "its bad enough you have to deal with all the demon attacks, much less dealing with the mortgage. Oh, I've also set up two college fund accounts for Gabriel and Melinda, and put 100 grand in each. It should be more than enough when they're ready."
"I think I married the wrong brother," Phoebe teased.
Cole snarled and pulled her into a deep kiss. After it was over, Phoebe gasped and said, "Maybe not."
Gabriel grinned and said, "Thanks for the thought Uncle Gerald, but I doubt I'll be going to college. My duties as a Guardian will take up a lot of my time by then."
"Yeah, but it doesn't mean you won't do it. Always keep your options open, and never burn your bridges. You never know how often you have to cross the same bridge," Gerald muttered philosophically.
"Was he always this preachy?" Paige demanded.
"No, he's toned it down a lot," Cole replied.
Paige set the crystal down on the table and commented, "I hate to interrupt this, but I was wondering if Gabriel could examine this gem. They found it in the Azarian Temple, and I'd like to make sure it doesn't do anything before I put it on the hope chest."
"Sure, of course Aunt Paige." Gabriel replied. His eyes took on a look of intense concentration, and he gazed at the gem. After a few moments, Gabriel said, "there's some kind of power in it, but it requires certain words to activate. On its own the gem is harmless."
"That's a relief. What about these words?" Michael asked.
"I don't know, but they wouldn't be in any language you'd know or speak. I could study it more and figure it out, but it would take a while."
"I don't think so," a new voice snapped. The group looked to see a demon appear and grab the gem. Gabriel gestured and fired a bolt of white lightning, but the demon was faster. "Azacajsht ghjelke." The demon shouted, and a black field appeared and blocked Gabriel's shot.
The demon grinned and said, "You can't touch me,"
"That's what you think," Gabriel said darkly as he began to glow.
"Aldjhed ghehrted." The demon replied. The gem flashed once, and a black blast shot out and slammed into Gabriel. He was thrown against the wall, and slumped down.
A fireball slammed into the shield from behind, and the demon whirled to see Gerald with a fireball in hand. A bolt of lightning shot out from Paige as Piper gestured. The barrier began to flex.
"You fools, you can't stop this. The Gem of Azare gives me ultimate power." The demon shouted.
"Wanna bet?" Cole murmured. He put his hand on Gerald's shoulder, and they both began to glow a deep blue color. Energy shot from them and slammed into the shield. It held for a few moments, and then dissipated. Gerald and Cole both slumped to their knees, but the demon was thrown against the wall.
"Impossible! The shield could never falter," the demon exclaimed. As the Charmed Ones got ready to chant, he shouted, "I don't think so! hghlkaed jedadfge etyujjs!" A blast of black energy shot from the gem straight at Phoebe. Too quick for her to react, Phoebe did nothing but tense.
Suddenly, Gabriel was between her and the blast. He thrust out his hands, and a white shield appeared in front of him and her. The beam hit the shield and passed right through. It hit Gabriel, and a white outline jumped from him to Phoebe. When the beam passed, both Gabriel and Phoebe fell to the floor.
Piper gestured, and the demon exploded. "Should have done that from the start," she muttered. She then ran forward with the rest of the group and checked on Phoebe and Gabriel. Both still had pulses, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Gabriel began to stir, and Leo helped him up. "Rise slowly, you took a pretty serious blast." Gabriel nodded, and slowly got up. He opened his eyes, and the sisters saw a look of dawning horror came over his face.
"What, what is it?" they asked, and then they looked closer and gasped.
Gabriel's hourglass eyes were gone.
