Rachel sobbed as she sat on the sitting room floor surrounded by papers and crayons. Her little heart was breaking.
"Rachel, what's wrong, are you okay?" Lizzy asked bending down to comfort the child.
"Cousin Lizzy, I am a sad Rachel today." Lizzy pulled her close.
"I see that, can you tell me why?"
"Mommy's day will be here soon and I cannot make mommy a present because I do not know what to make and mommy will be so sad!"
"Oh Rachel, he won't be sad. Your mother knows you love him and I'm sure we can do something." The young demon shook her head.
"I have tried and tried cousin Lizzy, nothing will work, I wanted to make mommy a heart but it was not right. I even tried to draw mommy and the new babies but my crayon broke and now it is lost!" She rubbed her eyes as fresh tears fell.
"Rachel, what's wrong?" Ciel asked from the doorway. Instantly she stood and ran to him. Ciel lifted her into his arms and hugged her.
"I want you to have a happy mommy's day but I cannot make you a present and my crayon is missing and the heart was not good and-and" she sobbed into her mother's chest.
"My poor baby girl, sounds like you're having a really hard day."
"Oh yes mommy, I am." She replied.
"Well, I think you should take a break, have some lunch and we talk about it." Ciel offered patting her back.
"I will cry forever!' Ciel knew exactly what to do to help his daughter.
"Rachel?"
"Y-yes m-mommy?"
"Would you like to have a piece of chocolate after you eat?" Rachel looked up at him, the last of her tears fell.
"Can I really have it mommy?"
"Yes."
"The camel kind?" Lizzy giggled softly.
"Caramel, but yes, I should have some left."
"It is not camel?"the child asked surprised.
"No. A camel is an animal, caramel is candy." Ciel explained.
"Oh my!" Rachel placed her hands on her cheeks.
"Lizzy, if you're ready, Cynna as your lunch done. You can come eat with us if you like."
"Thank you, I'd like that." Lizzy stood up and followed her cousins from the room.
"I love you mommy."
"I love you too Rachel."
"What can I give you for mommy's day?"
"I think I'd be happy with a hug from each one of my babies."
"But we hug you everyday mommy, even when we are ill and sad."
"Sometimes Princess, a hug and an 'I love you' are all that's needed." Ciel said carrying her into the dinning room and sitting her down in her chair.
