*Astrava- Greek Goddess of Justice

"So," Felix said while placing a heavy load of laundry on the floor. "Do you have any plans tonight, Demetri? I got two tickets to a live rock band concert that is visiting from the UK."
Demetri looked up from a book he was reading. "As a matter of fact I do," He replied simply before turning back to his book. "I have plans with that pretty receptionist from the blood bank."
"Am I hearing Demetri is going on a date?" Felix cooed before flickering off to the right when a book came flying his way. "That sounds like fun, perhaps you can take her to the concert and I'll just stay home with Astrava." He pulled out the tickets from his breast pocket and handed it to Demetri with a chuckle before disappearing down to the laundry room with the loaded hamper.
"Why does everyone have to know my personal business?" Demetri moaned to himself while picking up the book he had thrown at his friend from the floor. "Can't seem to get any decent privacy around here anyhow."
"Are you complaining?" Jane suddenly appeared from a high window. The Italian vampier ignored her and went back to reading. Smiling widely, she jumped down from the window and landed close by. Turning around with her child like face, Jane started at him for a long moment while he tried to not look up at her.
"What the hell do you want, Jane?" He snapped, not caring at the moment if he was being rude to her. "You're annoying me. Go away."
"I just was walking around the courtyard grounds below with Alec when I happened to hear you saying about the lack of privacy among the Volturi." She explain. "I hate to admit it, but it gets rather hard to even have a second of privacy with Aro's ability to see our minds." She touched her head with a finger.
Demetri snorted at her. "So? One just has to learn to take his or her business out of the castle."
Jane sat down and neatly crossed her ankles. "You seem to like this woman from the blood bank. Whats so different about her that you would be attracted to a human?"
"Its not of your business, Jane. Now leave me be!."
She allowed a frown to touch her perfect face for a moment before she smiled slightly. "Then I guess you don't want my help then in making sure that everyone doesn't hear of you courting a human food item." She sighed as she got up.
Demetri's head snapped up. He let out a furious growl and curse before pinning Jane against the other wall across the room. His eyes darken as he allowed his full anger to show on his face. "Don't even think of going there." He warned. "Touch her and I will not hesitate to kill you with my bare hands."
"Like you can even get within five feet of me before you felt my powers racking your body as you like rolling on the floor in pain." Her forehead puckered with amusement. "Besides, if I stay quite about your date with the human, I promise to not say any more things about your 'bad' habits." She held out a hand between them. "Deal?"
He only glared at her. "Why should I even trust you?"
"Because since when did I really mean any real harm? I just allowed my mouth to run a little too much and it just so happened that some of the residents heard and word soon got around."
Demetri let go of her and Jane fell lightly to her feet. Running a hand through his spiky hair, he slowly extended his hand towards her and shook it once. "Deal then." He agreed. "But only if you promise to keep you mouth shut and I won't tell anyone about your sudden interest in that one female vampire." He added with a chuckle when Jane's whole face blew up with horror and shock. "I would have never dreamed that you were a lesbian, Jane." He laughed out loud while taking several steps back to give him some distance between him and her.
"Shut up, Demetri!" She yelled at him with tight fists. "I am not a lesbian!"
"Am too, I saw the two of you when you were kissing in the back garden. I am sure if the masters heard about this, they would all be having strokes from being put into shock from the news of how little Jane somehow has a interest in females and not the opposite sex." He let out a merry chuckle before picking up his book as he walked towards the door. "I wonder if Alec know about his older sister being homo."
"Why you fucken bastard!" Jane snarled at his retreating back. "You better keep your fucken mouth shut or else you will be paying for it full."
"I wouldn't doubt if for even a half a second." Came the ghostly reply.
"Sister?" Alec appeared by the door with a confused look. "Is everything alright here? I heard some yelling as I was searching for you."
Jane avoided his question gaze while straightening out her cloak with a focused manner. "Oh, everything is fine. Its just Demetri was making fun of me on how I keep dressing in all black and never seeming to be more feminine," She curled her mouth in a half sneer. "About it. When does one managed to wear a certain color for a long period of time and not take notice of it?"
"Indeed, sister." Alec replied while she passed by. "I was often wondering if perhaps you were willing to go clothes shopping with Electra once she has fully recovered and perhaps she can help you with your wardrobe?" He lightly suggested. "It wouldn't hurt you know."
"Yeah, yeah. I'll see about it later." She waved him off with annoyed snort. "I like how I dress and if I seem out of date, it just because I don't really have any interest in changing anytime soon."
Alec allowed a grin to touch his lips before he hurried off with his sister to go hunting. Jane was sure growing up fast despite being an immortal vampire.
Meanwhile, Astrava was keeping everyone busy twenty-four hours with her constant need of feeding, diapering, bathing, and need for attention from everyone around her.
"Man," Jasper blew out a breath while pretending to wipe some invisible sweat from his brow with the back of his hand. "Its just one baby and it already feels like she gave birth to triplets."
"At least she isn't really growing fast like Renesmee." Edward pointed put while handing Jasper a feeding bottle mixed with baby formula and human blood. "Carlisle is still investigating of whether or not is it possible that every hybrid birth is different in given situation such as Caius' and Electra's. I do find it surprising that she hasn't really gotten past the stages since her birth."
Jasper encouraged Astrava to take the nipple into her mouth and winced when she suddenly chomped down on it with her baby teeth. "Well if anything, Edward." He grimace up at his brother. "It seems she has a thing for human blood."
Edward didn't say anything, save a small shrug of his shoulders while he went over to where his mate was sitting in a chair with a laptop in her lap. "Bella? How are you feeling?" He asked her gently while rubbing her arm.
"I'm feeling fine, Edward." She replied with a small smile. "I am just emailing Charlie about our vacation. He said that he managed to have a good catch the other day with Billy down at the river."
"Well I am sure that your father needs to be with other males from time to time since he and Sue are expecting their first child together." Edward smiled widely. Bella gave him a rough punch in the ribs that almost sent him flying into the wall.
"I'm so sorry!" She cried when he staggered backwards a few feet. She got up and went to his side before he could fall over his feet. "I am so so sorry, Edward." She apologized again. "I didn't think that I would still be like this."
Jasper chuckled loudly, shaking his head. "You see how strong Bella still is? even though a full year or so has passed since her transformation?" He told the baby in his arms. She let out a few gurgling happy noise while continuing to suckle away at the nipple with intelligent eyes. "Well, there is more of that back home." He laughed. "Always outshining Emmett at arm wrestling and throwing things further then a mere mortal would be able to do in their lifetime."
Astrava yawned and sleepily closed her eyes while he rocked her gently in his arms. Edward, finally recovered from his mate's unusual vampire strength, walked up to Jasper and clapped a hand on his shoulder. "I think I might just need a break from Bella before she decides to break me in two." He shook his head while Jasper laughed. "Its not funny, Jasp."
"Well it is to me if you are the one being afraid of being broken in two." He chuckled before handing Edward the empty baby bottle. "Here, go down to the kitchen and refill this for Astrava's later feeding." Edward rolled his eyes at him but did as he was told.
Bella went back to her emails with a smug smile on her face. "I'm sure that he will be able to survive, Jasper. Its only been less than two years since I was changed."
Jasper rolled his eyes upward. "I have no doubt that we will be needing a little extra man power to keep you down." He joked while taking a seat by her with Astrava sleeping soundly in his arms. "You know, I am kinda liking being an uncle to her. It feels like something that I would want to be in real life if I were human again."
Bella's face softened. "I know, with being a mother to Nessie and dealing with the pack's constant high calorie intake back home, I wouldn't trade anything in the world to turn back time."
"Do you think that perhaps this will forever change Caius' ways of thinking, Bella?" Jasper whispered. "I mean, before, he was literally itching to kill all of us after the misunderstanding of your daughter's being a half vampire and half mortal."
"Caius is in the same boat as Edward and I were before Renesemee came into the picture. Having to face of whether not he should change her into one of their own or just allow her to die of old age. I would't want to be in his shoes since now, after talking with him further, Aro has his sights zeroed in on a possible ability that only he can guess that she has. The only sure way to find if she even has one in the first place, is to change her into a vampire."
"But that would put her at risk even more so if she became a pawn to Aro." Jasper pointed out. "Caius would have no say once his brother has made up his mind."
Bella reached over and touched Astrava's small petal soft cheek with one of her fingers. "Which is why we are going to overstay our welcome and help Caius protect Electra and their baby until we come up with some way that will allow him to have the upper hand in the matter. It is going only a matter of time before something comes up and ends up endangering her life and that of their child, thus, making Caius a very wide open target for removal or worse off."
