Marcus' POV
Seconds after Heidi left, little Bella started crying. I fixed up some baby formula, but she refused to drink it. I changed her diaper, holding my breath the entire time, but she still wouldn't stop crying. I called for Heidi, but even then she still wouldn't stop crying. Something was wrong. Something was very wrong. I would find out what it was. I rocked her carefully and soon she fell back asleep. I breathed a silent sigh of relief and assigned Heidi and Jane the job of guarding Bella when we had visitors. They both protested until I said, "You two found her. You brought her here safely into my arms. I say you can protect her from other vampires." I then faced Chelsea and said, "You shall assist Heidi and Jane." "Yes, Master," Chelsea instantly replied.
Of course, Felix and Demetri were really not that much help in taking care of Bella. They only made her cry, more. So they usually got yelled at, by either Jane or Heidi.
I watched little Bella grow up, but Aro, Caius, and I all tutored her instead of sending her to school. We taught her German, Spanish, French, Latin, Italian, English, but in our family, we usually use Latin, or Italian, but mostly Italian, and Greek. We also taught her math, some science, some human history, some vampire history, and other things that would help her survive in the real world. In fact, Italian was the first language she picked up and we usually use Italian to discuss normal, human, events, and Latin to discuss vampire events.
She never really saw too many humans. She seemed happy here in the palace, but we tried to encourage her to play with other humans her age, but she insisted that she preferred playing with Jane, Heidi, Chelsea, and Alec. Alec only hangs out with Bella to calm her down after Felix and Demetri have picked on her, allowing Jane and Heidi to beat them.
I knew one thing about Bella, I wasn't going to have the strength to say goodbye to her, ever. Someday, I would change her into a vampire.
