"It's common enough in young demons, however,as you know, there are not many demonlings in existence. Demons don't usually become mothers, the children will have to be monitored carefully. The fever is helping kill the illness so unless the little ones are very uncomfortable, do not suppress it. They may or may not eat, their tummies seem to be affected as well. If they are not hungry it is not a good idea to force them to try. If it goes on several days then contact me again. Plenty of bed rest and comfort are in order as well." The healer told Sebastian and Ciel as he packed up his bag. Before closing it, he took out four bottles of medicine and a pen, he wrote each child's name on a bottle as well as instructions.
"If there's any problems you know how to contact me."
"Thank you." Sebastian said, the healer nodded and left.
"Mama, my tummy feels funny." Evian cried. Ciel kissed the top of his son's head.
"I know Evian, it'll get better, I promise." Ciel hugged the child and gently laid him back on his pillow then tucked him in.
"I love you mama." He said in a hoarse voice.
"I love you too, try to get some sleep, it'll help."
"Mum, I'm too hot." Rowan called.
"Alright Rowan, I'll get you a cool cloth."
"I shall get it Master Ciel, the little ones need you."Cynna said as he passed by the room.
"Thank you Cynna." Ciel's voice was not the only one to respond, this made Cynna chuckle as he set about his task.
"Mommy, I didn't mean to." Ciel turned.
"Mean to what Vincent?" The child pointed beside the bed as tears fell from his eyes.
"Eew, Vincent got sick!"
"Rachel,leave your brother alone." Ciel sighed as he looked at his child, it wasn't like Vincent to cry so easily.
"It's alright Vincent, I know you didn't. let's get you a bath and some clean clothes to wear." Ciel helped Vincent out of bed, as soon as he stood up, he felt lightheadedand fell back on his mother. Ciel tried not to react with the worry he felt in his heart.
"Mommy, my head feels funny." Ciel picked him up and held him close.
"It's alright, I'll take you, no Vincent, please don't cry. I know It's difficult but everytime's going to be okay. I'm right here." Ciel soothed, rubbing Vincent's back on their way to the tub.
"Mey-Rin, come in here at once." Sebastian called.
"Yes Mr Sebastian?"
'I would like for you to bring in the cleaning supplies, the was a slight accident, I will deal with it myself."
"Yes, I'll bring it right away. Mey-Rin dashed down the hall to retrieve it.
"Mommy, when will I feel better?" Vincent sniffled as he removed his night shirt and got ready for the bath. It was then that Ciel noticed the rash on his back as well.
"No wonder you've been uncomfortable. He helped his son into the tub.
"Are you upset about the rug mommy?"
"No baby. Rugs can be washed, It's alright." After Vincent had his bath and was changed, Ciel carried him back to his bedroom and laid him in bed.
Sebastian finished giving the medicine and soon the children were sleeping, Ciel sat down in the rocking chair, he felt bad for his babies and wished he could take the illness from them, he quickly came to the conclusion that being a mother was both the most rewarding and terrifying job there was.
"Are you alright my love?" Sebastian knelt beside the chair.
"I will be, when our children are well."
"You are concerned too I see."
"How could I not be, I've never seen this before, I don't really know what to do for them. Do you have any idea how much that scares me?"
"I cannot begin to imagine. I too feel a bit helpless in this particular situation. " Sebastian confessed.
"They'll be alright won't they Sebastian?" Ciel left the chair and leaned into Sebastian.
"Of course they will, they are our children after all, they are strong just as we are, try not to worry, everything will be alright."
