"This is Alec, and Jane," Aro introduced me to the younger dark-headed boy and blond girl that I've seen around here, several times. They were the other ones, here, that I've been feeling protective over, but I wasn't sure why, because I only just met them, and this has been going on since I awoke here, the first time.

"It's a pleasure to meet you both," I said, smiling at them, getting the formalities out of the way, for now. I could talk to the two of them and Aro about this protection thing a little more, later. Right now, I just wanted to meet my babies.

The first daughter that was handed to me by Alec smiled, her fangs protruding slightly. That, coupled with her black eyes had me a little concerned. "Have they fed yet?" I remember my mother telling me that I could eat both human food and blood, but that I mainly chose the latter until I got older and wanted to fit in, more. This just wasn't making much sense to me, because I was sure they'd been fed, by now. I had no idea how long I was out, for, but still…

"Um…about that," Jane said, stepping forward nervously. From rumors that I'd heard about her, she shouldn't be nervous, but for whatever reason, she was. "We tried feeding both of them, but they wouldn't have any of it. Heidi has been able to communicate with them, but we're not sure how."

That's when I turned and looked at my mate, who was smiling at all of us. She reached for the baby that was still being held by Jane, presenting her to me. "I knew you'd want me to stay with them, but I divided my time, back and forth, because…I couldn't be away from you, long," she whispered softly. I was pretty sure that she was feeling guilty for not being strong enough for me, but if anything, she was damn stronger than anyone else that I knew, and I loved her for it!

I quickly pecked her lips. "It's okay, darling." With that, she smiled till it reached her eyes, sighing in relief. "Anyways," Heidi continued, gently rocking the child as both babies stayed quiet, seeming to know that this was an important conversation that they shouldn't interrupt. Hmmm… "They know who I am to Mommy, so they opened up their gifts for me, and this one right here," she said, bringing my daughter closer, "Can show things with a single touch."

I took her into my arms, now holding both of my girl's. The one with said power reached up, touching the palm of her hand to my cheek. The sensation more or less stunned me, but only because I didn't really know what to expect as I was thrown into a vision or, in this case, memories; It was almost as if I were there. Human food was repulsive from the start, and all of that ended up on the floor. I could smell, through her, the humans far in the distance. They were tempting, right now, but it just wasn't right. Even the bottles of human blood that they brought in smelled good, but that's not what she wanted. As she took her hand away, a look of awe spread across my face as my maternal instincts finally kicked in. Of course…I know what she wants, what they both want!

"Um…" I trailed off, looking at my girls, Heidi and then Aro, Jane and Alec. I sighed, never thinking that my chest area would be the topic up for discussion. "My instincts are telling me to, um…breastfeed. Am I even able to do that?"

Snickers immediately arose from Alec and Jane and, although I was protective of them, I glared. They immediately straightened up their act and stopped as Aro just smiled, waving and dismissing them. After that, he closed the door to ward off further intrusion. "I was wondering about that since you had um…a lot of change in um…that area," he said, waving in the direction of my boobs. I could tell he was a little embarrassed, himself, but he refused to really let it show.

"Well, has this ever happened before?" I asked, wondering how many hybrids were out there, besides myself and my daughter's. And that's when I got the news that I was very shocked to hear.

"Honestly, Bella, I don't know," Aro whispered, looking at me with a sad smile on his face, slightly shaking his head from one side to the other. "Before you were born, we never thought it possible."

Woah! Hold up… "I was the first?" I asked in shock. I felt Heidi patting my back in comfort while both girls were curled up in my arms.

Aro only nodded, coming forward, slowly, and kissing my hand. "For now, tend to the little ones, and we shall talk more about this, later, once you've had a chance to process it all."

I merely nodded as Aro bowed before swiftly leaving the room.

Without any words being said, what with Heidi and I each knowing what the other wanted or needed at any given moment, she pulled a chair over by the window, before leading me to it. As I looked out for a moment, I realize that this was the first time that I was actually looking at Volterra, and, though the gardens and trees were very beautiful and all, I knew that I wanted to see more of it, someday.

I sat down, knowing my nerves would be going off in full-force if I had still been human. Even though I'd been changed out of my bloodied clothes and cleaned up, which I'm sure Heidi took care of, herself, as well, it was a little nervous exposing my breasts to her, even in this situation. I'd been very bashful as a human…and I needed to get over that, so while she helped me by holding the girls, I unbuttoned the blouse that had been placed onto me, seeing that my boobs were, in fact, engorged. "Jeezus," I exclaimed, causing Heidi to giggle. I couldn't help but look up at her and give her a small smile before I got back to the task at hand.

I didn't want either of my girls to have to wait any longer than necessary, so I pulled both breasts out of their silk encasement, automatically hearing whimpering coming from Heidi's arms. I looked up at my beautiful mate as she was having a difficult time consoling my, no…our…our daughter's, before I reached out my hands to her.

Before I knew it, both girls were latched on, suckling away while my mate sat behind me, watching as they had their first meal in, from what I found out to be, twelve hours! I knew they'd been famished, so I was coddling them, soothing them since I now knew of the burn they must've felt. That was the other odd thing which, with me being a vampire, I guess it wasn't so odd. I deduced that my boobs had grown so large to hold extra blood so that, once they went down to their natural size, the girls would be ready to feed another way. I was so not looking forward to that, but I'd figure it out once we came to that point.

During this time, my mate and I decided to get to know each other, so after I told her what I now remembered of my life, she told me about her vampire one, since she didn't really have any memories of her human life. I found out that Aro had saved her, just as he'd saved the witch twins, which were Alec and Jane, and for that, I was grateful to him on all accounts…though I didn't like the nickname for Alec and Jane, and I'd sure as hell be changing what they were known as, around here, but…that was for a later day.

For now, I sat with my mate in comfort, feeding our two daughter's and beginning to settle into my new life, here, in Volterra, Italy.

More reviews help me update more quickly, heehee…

Anyways, like I said, I have a lot of ideas for this story, so don't be giving up on me, now

Let me know what you think! And I hope you enjoyed!
