Disclaimer: I do NOT own Charmed or any of its characters. Although if I did Chris would not be dead, and we would see a lot more of Wes Ramsey. Gees that man is SEXY!!!! Ok I'm done with my rant, now on to the story.
Chapter 1
The day seemed to be going exceptionally well. The birthday boy was busy playing with his brothers Chris and Wesley and his cousins Ashley and Piper. While his mother Autumn and his godmother Amber (who was waddling around do to the fact that she was 6 months pregnant) were decorating the rather large ball room and setting up for his big birthday bash. This was going to be a great day he thought to himself but his thoughts were interrupted by his mother's voice "Wyatt honey, take your brothers and the girls up stairs to play until we're finished getting ready for the party" she said as she planted a kiss on top of the boy's head. "MOM, come on I'm nine now, I don't want you kissing all over me. I'm not a baby any more" he said as he wiped the spot where his attacker left her lipstick. "You may not be a baby any more Wyatt Christopher Halliwell but you are still MY baby boy. Now go do as I ask please before I lose control and plant another wet on ya!" Autumn said as she moved even closer to the boy. The spectacle was just too much for Amber to handle, while trying to fight back the laughter she said "you better hurry, before she moves in for the kill." This caused the boy to collect the others quite quickly and rush up the stairs, and out of sight.
It was then that two more figures made their presents known. Wyatt Sr. and his brother Chris were laughing so hard that tears were rolling down their faces. After calming themselves down a little Wyatt walked over to his wife. Pulling her in close he spoke "Sweetheart you know I love you but if you continue to do that to the boy he's going to grow up to be as neurotic as my little brother over there" the man finished as he kissed the top of Autumn's head. The woman just smiled adoringly at her husband before the little brother in question shot back "hey I am not neurotic!" A voice then came from behind him "Sorry honey, but I'm going to have agree with your brother on that one. But don't worry we love you no matter how crazy you drive us." Amber said giving Chris a peck on the cheek. "Ha, Ha, very funny people" the man replied as he sat the paper cups down on the table. It was now Autumn who spoke "Oh yeah, were you able to find someone to fill in for you at magic school today Chris?" she asked as she opened a pack of napkins. You see Wyatt and Chris had decided to renovate and reopen magic school shortly after Wyatt Jr. was born. Wyatt owned the place while Chris ran it. "Yep, it was no problem either. My boss is really cool" he said sending a smile in his brother's direction. "Don't forget hot" Autumn added. "Can't argue with that" Wyatt replied. "Dude, conceded much?" "Hey when you look as good as I do, you can afford to be a little conceded." "Give me a break" Chris said rolling his eyes. Amber could do nothing but laugh.
"So are you excited about your birthday party Wy?" Christopher asked his older brother. Their relationship was just like their father's and their uncle's. The two boys loved each other and their younger brother Wes, dearly. Even when they did "fight" it was never anything serious and it would never really turn into a shouting match either, it was always more like a discussion. A fact that both parents were very grateful for. "Yeah, I can't wait to see what Mom and Dad got me. And you know everyone from magic school is going to be there." "I wish it was my birthday" said Piper as she brushed her doll's hair. "You always wish that it was your birthday. I don't know why when Mom and Dad always give you what you want anyway" her older sister Ashley said. "So, you're just jealous" the younger of the two said while sticking her tongue out. Ashley returned the gesture, causing all three boys to laugh at the display. "When I grow up I'm going to have a birthday party everyday" Wes said as he jumped up and down on his older brother's bed. "Hey cut it out before you break it pin head." Wyatt finished as he used his telekinesis to throw a stuffed animal at the boy. "Hey! I'm telling Mom" this earned him a "whatever" look from his brother. "Do you think Paris is going to be there?" Ashley asked her older cousin. "I don't know she's your friend. Didn't you invite her?" "Yeah, but she hasn't said much of anything about it" the girl replied. "Well I'm sure she'll be here, after all who would want to miss a bash thrown by the great Wyatt Halliwell" the boy finished with a smile. The concede ness obviously didn't fall far from the tree.
The men laughed to themselves as they watched and listened in amusement. Turning to his younger brother Wyatt spoke "Do you remember when we were like that?" he asked. "Yeah it was only an half hour ago Wy" this earned him a playful shove from the larger man, before he continued "We used to drive Mom nuts. Remember when you sent me to the eighteenth century?" the younger Halliwell questioned with a laugh. "Yeah Mom was pretty pissed. We would have gotten away with it too, if Autumn hadn't freaked out and told her about it" "Yeah I thought we would be grounded for the rest our lives. I thought Mom was going to kill me" the older brother replied. "If it weren't for aunt Paige finding you so quickly I think she would have" It was then that the playing in the room turned serious. Wes and Piper were fighting over a toy car. "Give it back!" the girl screamed. "NO, cars aren't for girls, why don't you go play with a doll or something?" the boy responded. "Oh why don't you orb yourself to the moon?" the girl shot back. "After you!" the boy said with an evil grin. And suddenly the girl disappeared in a swirl of white lights. Wyatt and Chris (both sets) were stunned. "I'll go get her" the girl's father said before orbing out. Wyatt then went into the room with the remaining children. With his arms folded across his chest he gazed at his youngest son. All he could say in his defense was "What? What did I do?" the others just giggled.
While Wyatt was giving the group a lecture on how not to use magic he stopped abruptly when he sensed that something wasn't right. He whispered to his oldest son "Put up your shield and protect your brothers and Ashley, I'll be right back" The boy nodded and immediately obeyed his father. Wyatt made his way down the hall with caution; he would kill whoever was out to ruin his boy's special day. Whoever was there didn't want any part of Wyatt because the intrusion that he was feeling suddenly vanished. Wyatt then made his way back to check on the children.
"Damn you! You never said that it would be Wyatt Halliwell's boys that I would be going after. Damn it, I won't do it, it would be suicide" the demon finished. "No it won't. We can easily distract him" the other spoke. "NO, you and your three friends here can go and get yourselves killed if you want to" With that the demon left. Turning to the others the leader spoke "We'll turn those kids into what they father used to be, one way or another. Their powers are too important to us and we will do what we have to, to get to Wyatt's precious little Charmed Ones."
