Vladimir held Nathaniel close and he watched Daemon kiss the little one's forehead before leaving the room. He followed Daemon close, ready to grab him if he felt the need to, and he followed Daemon all the way to the bedroom. He sat in the chair by the bed with Nathaniel still wide awake in his arms and he watched Daemon closely, watching him sleep as he rocked Nathaniel back and forth in his arms. He felt terrible that he underestimated the amount of blood Daemon gave, and he knew that he was going to have to deal with the plain taste of bagged blood for awhile until Nathaniel was old enough to go hunting...or until him and Daemon finally decided it was time that Daemon be turned into a vampire. It would help, since whatever blood Daemon took in would regenerate itself the same way that human blood does for a period of time before he would need more. The regeneration was much faster as well.
