"I Promise Todd, I'll teach you all I can. "he said. He then walked over to Gemini, and waved a hand over her. She would feel much more relaxed, and her wounds would sting alot less. She would also feel as if she had been hit with a stimpack. "I know you'd prefer to sleep, Gemini, but you need to feed Aria. "he said.

Jared walked over to finx. "You okay love?" he asked.

"of course just tired of your family walking into Dracula's home." Finx traced and old painting sighing softly.

Gemini smiled. "That's okay, I was going to feed her before I went to sleep anyway. That's what a mother does, after all. But this makes it easier, thank you." She said, before biting her own wrist and holding it up to the baby's mouth. Aria clamped on and started to drink hungrily. Gemini's face started turning white, and she looked with surprise at the tiny baby, who was starting to grow slightly as she drank. Within a minute she went from premature to a fully sized baby. She stopped growing then, but she didn't stop drinking, and it was clear that Gemini was losing blood alarmingly fast.

Chukichi picked up Aria, and pulled out a Strange Ruby Bottle, filled with Blood. He fed it to Aria. "Strange....It seems that The Strength of Hunger in the Female line also lingers into the New Generation. Thought it died out with Scarlett." he said. The Blood was a Filler, and would be like drinking from 10x humans.

Aria drank greedily, and finished the contents of the bottle quickly. Soon after that, she fell fast asleep.

"I've never seen anything like that. I mean, my mother said the same thing used to happen sometimes in our family, but I thought it was gone." Gemini mumbled, even more tired now from blood loss.

"I know, love. I want peace and quiet with you, but I can't exactly tell my family 'Don't come here'. "he said, taking her hand. "How about we go to the city, and get a bite to eat? Haven't hunted in awhile." he said.

Choukichi pressed a finger to the bottle, and it refilled. he then took off the baby-lid, and gave it to Gemini. "Here. Drink this. You'll need your strength up. "He said.

"I'm not hungry." Finx admitted. "Or thirsty just tired."

Gemini did as she was told and felt a little better. "Aria and I both need some sleep." She said, still tired.

"That's best, you'll need your strength up. After your rest, you hunt a full day. I notice Joseph told me that you didn't show signs of pregnancy until you drank from Scarlett. Tell me: When was the last time you hunted?" he asked her.

"It's more of a way to let out pent up aggression, and violence. There's a group of hunters on our borders.....I think we need to show them the error of their ways, don't you?" he asked, with a grin on his face.

Finx ran a hand threw her hair "Leave them there far enough out to notice us and I just want sleep." she hadn't slept since Dracula died not well anyways and all her mind wanted was rest.

"I hunted recently. We both knew I was pregnant for at least a week, we even felt the baby kicking. I just hadn't started showing visibly yet. In fact, I hunted only yesterday." Gemini said tiredly. "It wasn't until just today that anything was wrong. Joseph and I got into a fight, and when he left I suddenly felt this pain. Next thing I know I'm on the floor and Scarlett is telling me to drink, and I'm terrified because the baby wasn't due for another 8 months, and then Todd told me to drink...he calmed me down somehow, I don't know how- and I drank and as I drank Aria grew rapidly within me, and then I went into labor. And you saw what happened just now when she drank..."

"Of course, Countess. "he said, taking her hand, and picking her up. He then laid her in her bedroom, and laid down with her.

"That doesn't make any sense. If was due to a lack of nutrition, I'd understand, but how could you not show one minute, but show the next. "He said, then looked at Todd. "What do you think, Todd Bear?" he asked. Obviously, he thought the kid was brilliant. He never saw quick thinking from a kid so young before. He also started subconsciously letting the Lion Sniff him, to show he wasn't a threat.

Finx nestles against him falling a sleep.

Todd tilted his head, clearly taking the question seriously. "Baby Aria wanted to be born. Something bad hurt her inside mommy's tummy, so she needed the blood to grow right and stop hurting and fix the booboo. And it just made her grow lots because that's just how she grows." He said decisively. Meanwhile, Daniel had sniffed at the man and decided he wasn't a threat, and proceeded to bump his head against his leg, asking to be patted.

"So Todd thinks that something went wrong in the womb, something that might have resulted in a deformity if the baby had continued to grow naturally. The large amount of blood allowed Aria to heal quickly, like we often do, but it had the added effect of rapid growth because...Aria simply grows that way." Gemini clarified, getting a nod from her son.

"When this is over, and I've finished making preparations, I'm naming your Son my Heir. When I die, The Title of Clan-Elder will go to him, as well as all the Privileges. We need Smart young people like him in the Clan. "he said.

Jared fell asleep right next to her, holding her close.

Gemini beamed proudly, despite her exhaustion. "Oh, that's wonderful! I knew Todd was destined for great things." She said.

Todd smiled. He didn't know what was going on, but he knew his Mommy was proud of him, so that made him happy. "Is Daddy proud, too?" He asked. That was even more important, that his Daddy was proud of him.

"Of course I am, Todd Bear. "Markus said, kneeling down, and hugging his son. "I'm so proud of you, Todd. You're growing up too fast......you're going to make your mother grow old quickly. "he said, teasing Gemini.

Gemini shook her head, chuckling. "Not me, but I'm sure your father has gray hairs already." She teased right back.

Todd smiled brightly, then yawned. He still hadn't been to bed.

"Let's get to bed. We got a long day ahead of us tomorrow. "he said, and picked up Todd bear

(should we time-skip, cause everyone is going to sleep o .o )

((Yeah, Wolfie thinks so. finx15:?))

((Sure))

Markus woke up, and yawned, starting to make breakfast for them.

Jared kissed her head, and got up. He then bathed, and put on a Black and Grey Hooded Robe, staring out at the sky.

Gemini woke up early to feed Aria, meeting Joseph out in the kitchen. "Good morning, dear." She said.

Todd padded out, rubbing his eyes tiredly, with Daniel at his side. "I heard baby Aria crying."

Markus was wearing a set of robes, similar to his brother. Only his were Green and Black. "Morning love. "he said, laying their food out.

"Get back here and cuddle." Finx ordered Jared reaching out towards him her eyes opened and she gasped sitting up she put a hand to her mouth she went to stand and toppled into him.
