Curate, connect, and discover
Taking care of a teething baby vampire can be hell on earth. They become incredibly cranky and fussy when their fangs start to emerge but crank it up to one hundred, and you've got a problem. These babies will turn into little terrors! Biting everyone with their growing fangs, crying at an unnaturally loud volume, and sneaking out of their cribs at night to crawl upside down on the ceiling and give their parents’ a stroke.
It's partially the reason why Riku wanted to send his daughter to his family because only Vampires have the patience and skill to care for the little demons when they’re teething.

Raena: But she's NOT a Vampire! She's a Witch like me, and you know damn well how your family feels about Witches! She'll be a walking target! Besides, we didn't have Karu until AFTER you cured yourself of Vampirism!
Riku: It's not that simple... Yes, I gave up Immortality and my fangs to age alongside you, but I still bear the blood of the Ancients who came before me. Hikaru shares my blood and has a strong chance of Turning. We must be prepared.
Raena: Oh, because some lowly Hedge Witch like me couldn't possibly raise a Vampire? Is that what you think?

Transcript:
Riku: Raena, please--
Raena: No, no, no, HELL NO!
Riku: Gods, will you listen to me?! We agreed that if our daughter ever showed signs of Vampirism, my coven would take her in for training!
Raena: "If," Riku! And so far, she's shown no signs! But, christ, she hasn't even spoken her first word, and you already want to ship her away to your family! She's two!!
Riku: Only a Vampire can raise a Vampire child to adulthood! We're not shipping her away! We're giving her a chance to thrive!
I could wait a thousand hours
Stay the same, in sun and showers
Pick apart a hundred flowers
Just to be quiet
Your husband comes home early from work just in time for brunch. Good news, your daughter is at daycare, and the two of you have the whole day to yourselves. Bad news, it's not food he's hungry for ;) ;) .

Raena: Well, well, well... Don't you look good enough to eat.
Riku: *chuckles* Isn't that my line?
Raena: It's my line too, baby. But if you're that pressed about it, you can eat me.
Riku: Kiss me, and I'll make a meal out of you.
Raena: *whispers* You've got a deal.
