Sebastian ran his fingers through Ciel's hair while the young demon rested.

"Do you feel better?"

"Not yet, as much as I love our children, I didn't miss this part." Ciel said after a particularly bad episode of vomiting, it caused his already aching stomach to becime worse.

"I know it isn't pleasant my love, but is it not worth this small discomfort when our newborn is placed in your arms?" Ciel smiled.

"It is, It's worth every second of pain and illness I go through, I love them that much." Ciel admitted.

"I know you do, our children know it as well. I have told you this before Gower, it must be said again. You are simply one hell of a mother and I would want no one else to have my children."

"Not even Grell?" Ciel teased.

"Especially not Grell. It will only be you."

"Mommy, can we come in?" Vincent called from the doorway.

"We are all here, we want to talk to you." Rachel added.

"Children, your mother isn't well, he needs rest, if he feels-" Ciel rested a hand on Sebastian's arm.

"Let them come in." He said calmly.

"Very well children, enter but be gently with your mother." Moments later, four young demons were seated on the bed around. Ciel.

"Mommy, we are all happy that we are getting a new baby, but we see that it makes you not feel very good. You are a very good mommy and we love you very much. Daddy says it is very important to take care of the things we love." Rachel said.

"And you take care of us, so we will take good care of you. Don't worry mama, we will do anything you want us to do." The four children grinned at their mother.

"Little ones, that's very sweet, but It's not your job to take care of me-"

'Ciel, I think under the circumstance, if our children wish to care for their mother, it would be an excellent way for them to feel included."

"They're children, they should be playing, not tending to me."

"It isn't as though you forced them, they want to help."

"Pleeeeaaaasssee?" Four voice pleaded.

"Alright, only certain things."

"This is good brothers, mommy will let us, I love mommy." Rachel declared.

"I love you too, all of you." Ciel replied.

"Daddy loves you too, right daddy?" Sebastian grinned mischievously.

"Is this true Sebastian, do you love me?" Ciel feigned surprise.

"It's true, my secret is out, I thought I could keep it from you a while longer. But perhaps you feel the same, perhaps I have grown on you during our time together?" Evian tilted his head curiously.

"No." Ciel replied.

"Is that so?"

"It is. I'm only using you for help with my children."

" as I recall, I am the reason you have Our children. I am not simply 'the help'"

"You've served your purpose than haven't you?"

"Must you be so cruel?"

"Don't worry dad, I am not sure what all that means but mama does love you. Mama, it is not nice to say those things to dad." Evian crossed his arms. Sebastian bowed his head.

"Children, your mother has broken my heart, whatever shall I do now?"

"Faker." Ciel chuckled.

"How can you lie there and think such a thing?"

"Dad, are you and mama playing?" Evian asked.

"Yes. Your mother likes his little games now and then."

"You started it." Ciel accused.

"You should be nice mommy, daddy loves you very much." Rachel told him before turning to her father.

"Daddy, you should be nice to mommy because you love mommy very much and we love both of you. You should be nice also because mommy does not feel well and should be cuddled and loved and hugged."

"You are right my dear, your mother is precious to me. I shall be nice to him." Sebastian leaned over Ciel and began nuzzling him. Ciel smiled.

"Forgive me Ciel, for I love you more than words can say."

"Charmer." Ciel put a hand on Sebastian's chest, causing his mate to look into his eyes.

"Aw, look brothers, daddy loves mommy so very much." Rachel smiled.

"Mum, when can we get the baby?" Rowan asked.

"Not for a while. "

"Will the baby come on the train ti us?" Rachel asked.

"Maybe a carriage?" Vincent chimed in.

"No. The baby will not come by train or carriage, the baby us with mama." Evian said.

"Mommy's hiding the baby somewhere?"

"Such an imagination." Sebastian chuckled.

"No Rachel, the baby is inside your mother."

"Ew." Vincent said making a face.

"Where is it, I do not see a baby anywhere." Rachel scanned the room with her eyes.

"Sister, dad said inside mama, It's not hiding." Evian explained.

"Where though?"

"The baby has to live in your mother's stomach until It's big enough to come and be with us." Sebastian said. " that is why he's ill, it will depend on your mother for everything which can be difficult. Until your mother is ready, I will be feeding you four and your mother."

"That is very nice of you daddy."

"That is what happens when you have a family."

"Then mama needs a lot of help, right dad?"

"Yes Evian."

"Then we should start right away, Vincent and Rachel, you should go and get mama a book to read so be can lie down and not have to get up. Rowan, we will make sure mama is confortable. Dad, since you know What to do, you should stay with mama. Does that sound okay?"

"That sounds wonderful Evian. I'm sure you will all do a wonderful job, your mother and I have faith in each of you." The children rushed off to complete their tasks happily. Another wave of nausea hit Ciel causing him to moan.

"Is something wrong Ciel?"

"Just feeling ill."

"Do you need the bucket?" Ciel nodded, after a few minutes, Ciel leaned back against the pillows feeling drained and in pain. Sebastian instinctively began to rub Ciel's abdomen.

"Try to rest, can I get you anything?" Ciel shook his head.

"I just need some time."

"Take all you need. As long as you are both healthy and happy, that is most important to me."

"You're too good to me Sebastian."

"My love, you deserve everything in the world, I simply want you to be happy."

"You make happy Sebastian, and our family. I have everything I could want."
