Ciel found himself seated on a large sled with his children,Sebastian pulled them through the snow covered forest carefully,the snow made a soft crunching sound under the older demon's feet. Angelina growled softly at the snowflakes that were falling around them.
"It is okay, it will not hurt you baby Angel, Mama and dad are here they will protect us. Do not get angry at the snow it's is not bad." Evian explained. Angelina tapped her mother's arm and pointed to the ground.
"That's snow too. It won't hurt you. I'll show you in a few minutes. We'll get off the sled and mommy and daddy will play with you already?"
"Mommy,dadyee" Kathryn cried waving her tiny arms.
"How is it that sometimes I'm daddy and others I'm that?" Sebastian called over his shoulder.
"Stop complaining,at least it's close." Ciel said sternly.
"Oh no, daddy is complaining,what do we do,does it mean he is sad,I am going to cry!"Rachel covered her ears with her hands.
"Rachel, your father isn't sad, he just does this sometimes. Everything is fine." Ciel soothed.
"Mommy said it so it is true, daddy is not sad and I will not be a sad Rachel. It will be alright."
"That's right. It's nothing to worry about. Your father will get over it." Ciel promised. Rachel tilted her head and moved closer to her father.
"Daddy, when will you be over it?"Ciel chuckled softly.
"there's nothing to get over Rachel,all is well."
"Yay!" The eldest children cried lifting their arms above their head.
"Ah!" Kathryn and Angelina said in unison in an effort mimic their older siblings.
"Good job baby sisters, We are proud of you brothers and sister." Rachel grinned showing her tiny fangs and causing the younger girls to shriek happily. Sebastian smiled though he didn't turn around.
"Dad, will grandfather be very angry at you for not going to him?"Vincent asked.
"No, I spoke to your grandmother, everything is fine."
"I love Grandmother and Grandfather,Daddy." Rachel declared.
"I know Rachel, so do they." Sebastian replied. Angelina growled quietly burying her face in her mother's chest. Ciel wrapped his arms around his daughter.
"Poor Angelina,mommy's here, you're going to be fine, I have you."Sebastian felt bad for the child, He was grateful to Ciel for being patient and not giving up as he knew most would in time.
"And that Ciel is the very reason no other demon could ever be the mother of my children." The older demon stopped in the middle of a clearing this would be an ideal place to take a break." He announced.
"Since when do you need a break?" Ciel asked cuddling Angelina
"Not for me exactly, I think we could use the opportunity to teach our little ones." Sebastian said helping Rachel and Vincent off the sled.
"This is going to be a happy thing,Brothers, sisters,we get to play with daddy and maybe if we ask very nicely mommy will play because...because the babies are here now. Mommy will you please, please play with us?"
"Why would I want to do something like that, do I look like the sort of mother that would play with their children?" Ciel asked playfully as Sebastian set him down on the ground.
"Yes!" Four voice answered in unison through giggles.
"I am going to throw snow at Daddy!"Rachel clapped and began jumping up and down excitedly.
"You think so, I'm terribly sorry to say this, however I'm fairly sure you won't have the -" Sebastian was cut off when a snowball came in contact with his face. Rachel laughed.
"That was silly Mommy!" She clapped, Kathryn and Angelina joined in. Ciel knelt in the snow near his youngest daughters and began making each child a snowball. When he finished, he handed the first one to Angelina taking hold of her arm and letting her aim for Sebastian.
"If you hit Angelina and Kathryn back, you're going to find yourself in trouble,just like before. They're too small for you to throw them like you do." Ciel warned.
"I do know my own strength and I'm always careful with the children. I promise you I won't harm them." Sebastian moved closer and got down to the children's level.
"It's alright Angelina, Daddy won't be angry with you,it's fun." He assured his little girl. Ciel gently pulled her arm back above her head and helped her to throw it. Angelina shrieked with joy when the snowball collided with her father's hand.
"Excellent first try Angelina,Daddy is very proud." Sebastian praised. Ciel smiled enjoying the moment.
"Mommy, can i hold baby Angel's hand while you help baby Kathryn?" Rachel pleaded.
"You can't let her go." Ciel told her.
"I promise, I love baby Angel and baby Kathryn and my brothers and you and Daddy and -"
"We love you too Rachel." Sebastian said, Ciel allowed his eldest daughter to take hold of her sister's hand and his smile widened when Rachel showed her fangs once more.
"Yay, I am going to be a taking care of sister Angelina, Rachel." She exclaimed proudly. Ciel gave the second one to Kathryn and pointed her toward her father.
"Dadyee!" She giggled.
"Hello Kathryn, are you ready to try as well?" Sebastian asked.
"Dadyee!'
"Yes my dear daughter,let your mother help you. It's alright."Kathryn shrieked with excitement as her snowball hit Sebastian's knee.
"Well done Kathryn, daddy is very proud. He reached forward and raised the giggling child into his arms and tickled her. Ciel smiled and turned to his children.
"Come here my little ones." He called and found himself surrounded by his children.
"Yes?" They said in unison.
"I want to play a game with you. I-"
"Yay Mommy, I like playing with you,this is such a very happy thing!" Rachel exclaimed.
"What should we play Mum?
"I think we should have a snowball fight with your father" he whispered. The children grinned
"I like it mama, I do. We will win." Evian whispered back.
"What are you doing over there"' Sebastian called.
"we should do it now mommy." Vincent said. Ciel nodded.
"Stand up children." Ciel said before going over to his mate and taking Kathryn back.
"What's this?"
"Sebastian, we officially declare a snow war with you I'm setting the rules. First don't hit the babies, second don't hit the older children hard just a very light toss would do. Third when we win, you can't complain." Sebastian smirked.
"All of you against me is it, well as much as I love you all i will not back down, are you certain you want to go to war with me?"
"Oh yes Daddy we are sure. We will win and then you will not. We have mommy will us and we are smart and good." Rachel said.
"Very well, if it's a war you want, I'm happy to oblige but if i win, each of you will have to give me whatever I ask for."
"Okay." The children answered together.
"Well then, let the game begin."
