When I wake and slowly open my eyes I immediately look over at daddy and a gasp escapes me. "Caius!" I scream. Seconds later Caius bursts through the door in an attack position. Then he sees daddy and gasps. "Impossible!" He says. I stumble over to daddy. He was young again. His hair was pitch black, his face wrinkle free. He looked....amazing. I listen to his heart and gasp. It had only been a day maybe less and his transformation was almost finished. "Get Carlisle now!" Caius yells at Santiago. I collapse beside daddy. "Listen to his heart Caius. He's almost done." I whisper. Caius kneels beside me and puts an arm around me. It was his way of protecting me if daddy were to lash out. He was after all. A new born, In a way. "How is this possible Caius?" I ask. Caius shakes his head pulling me closer. "I have no idea cara. None of this makes any sense." Caius say. I nod into his chest before looking back over at daddy. Daddy's heart speeds up frantically and I knew it was only a matter of minutes before he would wake. Caius pulls me closer as the minutes tick down and soon he was squeezing me tightly to the point where I had to tell him to relax. Finally Caius gasps as we listen to daddy's heart. "Thump thump. Thump thump. Thump-" I gasp and look at daddy. "Daddy?" I ask softly. Daddy doesn't move but I gasp as his eyes shoot open. Daddy quickly sits up causing Caius to pull me back. "Brother" Caius asks in a warning tone. Daddy slowly looks down at his hands. Then looks around before looking over at us. I didn't know if daddy remembered because sometimes a transformation can strip a newborn of its memories. "Aro?" Caius asks slowly once more. Daddy swallows before finally speaking "Brother." Daddy says. Caius nods and I push him aside. Daddy's eyes widen and he opens his arms. I waste no time in diving into his arms. Daddy hugs me tightly and tears stream down my face. "Daddy!" I cry. Daddy shushes me gently and slowly strokes my hair. "Shhh neonota." Daddy whispers softly gently kissing my head. "Daddy." I continue to sob Into his chest. Daddy holds me close. "I'm so sorry Mia bambino." Daddy whispers. Tears streamed down my face as I clung to him. "Shhh bambino. I'm alright. I promise." Daddy whispers pulling me closer. I slowly look up at him and daddy smiles kissing my head. I breath deeply before looking up at him. "Daddy?" I ask. Daddy meets my eyes. I gently take his hand before losing my shields. Daddy's eyes widen as he pulls my hand closer. I could feel Daddy in my head going through all my thoughts. He had his gift back. Then daddy frowns. "What is it brother?" Caius asks. "My gift. It's not just thoughts. It's emotions." Daddy says. My eyes widen. As do daddy's as he feels all the pain and agony I had felt this past week. Daddy pulls me closer. "I'm so sorry Mia bambino." Daddy whispers looking like he could cry. I bury my face in his chest and shake my head. "It wasn't your fault daddy. Your weren't in control." I whisper into his chest. Daddy sighs and I could still see the pain in his eyes if I looked hard enough. Daddy sighs once more before wincing. I look up and see black spots in his eyes. "You need to feed daddy." I say. Caius tenses and I couldn't blame him after last time. Daddy nods and let's go of me. I stand and so does daddy. I take his hand and he looks over at me. I could see the pain in his eyes for what he had done. For attacking me. For hurting me. Daddy sighs and pulls me close gently kissing the cut on my forehead. "It's ok daddy. I forgive you." I say. Dad smiles slightly and nods. I had forgotten he was still holding my hand. Daddy smiles slightly once more before letting go. Caius and I lead daddy to the throne room where Uncle Marcus had some humans waiting. Daddy doesn't wait and lunges at the humans before he starts draining one after another. When there were no humans left, daddy turns to me. I giggle slightly seeing blood dribble down his chin. "Better?" I ask. Daddy chuckles and nods. I go over and hug him tightly. Daddy smiles and gently strokes my hair. "We should go. Marcus is bring the others to feed." Caius says as more humans are brought in. Daddy and I nod before I lead daddy to his room. We leave him there to shower and change as Caius takes me to his study. As we waited for daddy I curled up in my mates arms. Caius was gently stroking my hair. This made me smile. When daddy finally walked in I can't keep the smile from my face. Daddy smiles and comes over pulling me into a hug. I hug him tightly. "How do you feel Daddy?" I ask looking up into his blood red eyes. Daddy smiles and kisses my forehead. "I'm alright neonata." Daddy says. I nod.
