All was normal as much as it can be in the Phantomhive household. A loud crash reverberated throughout the mansion, something that. "What is the meaning of this disruption?" Sebastian asked entering the kitchen seeing the staff, Finnian the gardener, Mey-Rin the maid, and Bardroy the chef. "Sebastian, we didn't mean to!" Finny exclaimed as the three were covered in soot. "Yeah, we was just trying to make a ham." Baldroy said as he held a flamethrower. "We tried stopping it before anything bad happened, but it exploded!" Finny explained as Sebastian let out a frustated sigh, rubbing his temple."I'll fix this mess, you three make sure everything is in order when our guest arrives." Sebastian sighed, ushering the three out with his fake smile.
The three looked at each other with upset frowns as they exited the room, "Man, Sebastian's really mad this time." Baldroy said rubbing the back of his neck. "It's all your fault, yes it is." Mey-Rin said making Baldroy narrow his eyes. "Hey, it's not all my fault, you kept dropping the plates and pans." He snarked back with a glare. "You two, stop it!" Finny shouted as he stood inbetween them, preventing any regretable actions take place.
Tensions were still high from their mistake in the kitchen, but they tried to do their jobs to the best of their abilities to make their young lord happy. Unknowing to them all their guest would have something to give them.
"Shhh, shhh. My precious, don't cry." A soft voice said as they brushed the small hair from a crying baby's face. "You'll be cared for here, I'm sorry." The voice told the baby as they rocked them. The figure turned out to be of a woman with long blonde hair. "I love you so much." She said with a soft smile before laying the child in a basket as the baby fell asleep. The woman proceeded to place loafs of bread and scentless flowers over the baby, concealing it from view before glancing down at one of her coat pockets at a gun that was hidden on her person as she stood up and headed to the Phantomhive Mansion.
Upon arrival she smiled as she was greeted by the butler of the estate, "Lady Avery, a pleasure. Please come in." Sebastian bowed as he made way for the woman. "Thank you." She smiled slightly before walking in with the basket.
"Ciel Phantomhive, a pleasure to see you once more." Lady Avery greeted as she sat opposite of the young boy at his desk, "As to you, Ms. Avery." Ciel hummed as a chess table was set up, waiting for them to play. "I see you never change, young Lord." She smiled as she moved her white pawn one space forward. "I beg to differ." Ciel hummed moving his knight. "And what is the basket about?" He asked as he looked over at the basket as the woman made her next move. "Just a farewell gift, I plan on taking a long vacation from everything here." Ms. Avery said as the game continued on. He rose a brow, but said nothing more.
The game ended with Ciel being the victor as always. "It's a shame you're leaving us, you have been a pleasant business partner." Ciel said Ms. Avery stood up. "I just think I had enough work for a woman like myself." She said before curtsieing and leaving the premisise.
Ciel hummed as he eyed the basket, "What do you want me to do with the basket my Lord?" Sebastian asked as he stood next to him. "Let the others have it, I need to get back to work." Ciel said looking over the many sheets of paper sprawled on his desk. Sebastian bowed and picked up the basket and headed to the servant sleeping quarters. There he found the three getting ready for slumber, " The Lord asked me to gift this basket of bread and flora to you three." Sebastian said before the four of them paused when the basket started crying.
"Sebastian, why is there a baby in there!?" Finny exclaimed as Sebastian took out the baby. "Lady Avery must have gifted us her child." Sebastian said before narrowing his eyes a bit, I sense a demon from this baby, but he's human as well. Interesting. Sebastian thought before hearing his Lord call for him. "You three watch over the infant, I'll speak to the young Lord about this." Sebastian said handing the baby to Mey-Rin before exiting the room.
"My, he's a little cutie yes he is." Mey-Rin said tickling the baby's stomach earning some laughter. "Why would Lady Avery give us her child?" Baldroy asked, scratching his head in thought as he looked down at the child. Foot steps interupted their actions as Ciel walked in, "So this is why she gave me that basket, Sebastian. Find her and bring her here this instant." Ciel ordered making Sebastian bow and hurry off. Looking back at the baby with a frown he noticed the same eyes Sebastian has when he's using his powers.
"My Lord, it seems Lady Avery is deseased." Sebastian said coming back making Ciel look back, "How is that possible, she was just here." He said with a bigger frown, "It was suicide My Lord, a gun was in her hand and a bullet through her head." Sebastian said looking down at the child as the others frowned with greif for the mother of this child. "My Lord, can we keep him?" Finny asked looking down at his master, "We can't just give him away." Finny pleaded making Ciel sigh, "Very well, he'll work here when he's old enough to do chores." He said earning the three servants to grin happily.
"Oh, what shall we name him?" Mey-Rin asked lifting the giggling baby up in the air. "That's not my concern." Ciel said leaving them there to think for themselves. "I say Roy." "No, Arthur!" "I think Henry would be suitable for him." The three argued as the baby started tearing up from the loud noise. "Quiet you three, his name will be Able, now stop this bickering you're making him cry." Sebastian rubbed his temple. "Ho Ho Ho." The sound from Tanaka said as he sat in the background drinking tea.
I know, I know I keep making new stories, but I can't help myself. Besides I love the idea of a baby in the Black Butler Universe that they have to care for *-*
