Cries were the only thing that was heard throughout the night, the trio was trying their best to calm the baby down, but had no idea what they were doing. "Somebody shut that baby up!" Balroy said plugging his ears,
"I don't know what he needs, he's not hungry, he didn't pee or poop, nothing with work!" Mey-Rin exclaimed rocking the crying child.
"You three are hopeless." Sebastian said taking the baby from them, "The young Lord is trying to sleep and lucky for you all I know how to take care of a child." Sebastian said before looking down at the baby.
Crying was the only reaction he got before he started humming a lullaby to the baby. Able's tears dried up as he sniffled and yawned in the demon's arms. Soon enough his eyes were closed and the silence was gifted to the household. The three let out a sigh of relieve as they collapsed in their beds, falling asleep immediately leaving Sebastian with the child. "Those three wouldn't be able to take care of themselves if it weren't for me." He shook his head before heading to his room with the child, "I have no choice but to raise you myself, it's not likely that the young Lord would take care of you." Sebastian told the sleeping infant before laying him down on the bed.
Midnight approached before more crying was heard. Sebastian looked over at the newly awakened baby and picked him up, "Let's get you something to eat." He said carrying the child to the kitchen, not soon after Able had a bottle of warm milk in his mouth as he gulped it down as fast as he could till it emptied. "Your father must be a demon, if only I knew whom. Not that it should matter, demons don't normally get along." Sebastian talked to the infant placing the empty bottle in the sink, where he got one was a mystery, but it didn't matter.
Able giggled as he tugged on the demon's hair. Sebastian flinched but let out a sigh as he went back to his room, letting the infant play with his hair. "You are such a handful, let go of my hair," Sebastian ordered, holding onto the baby's hand and gently removing their grip on his mane of hair. "Get some sleep little one." He told Able as a yawn left the infant's mouth as Sebastian laid him on the bed.
Once Able was asleep once more Sebastian sighed and shook his head. "I now have to take care of two children, at least this one is not as needy." He said looking over at the baby.
~Morning~
Ciel was exhausted when he woke up, that blasted infant kept him up with his crying. He couldn't believe he had to take care of a baby for his recently deceased mother.
"Sebastian," Ciel called as Sebastian helped get him ready for the day.
"Yes, my Lord?" Sebastian asked as he helped put on Ciel's shoes.
Ciel glanced around as if he was expecting the baby to appear and make more of that infuriating crying. "Is that child sleeping?" He questioned as Sebastian started putting on his shirt.
"Yes, Finny is watching over the child for the moment while he rests, my Lord," Sebastian informed him as he finished changing the male.
Ciel hummed as he stood up from his bed, "Good, I don't want to hear that thing crying again." He tsked as he left the room with Sebastian following after him after the butler made the bed.
As if karma got the best of him, once Ciel sat down at the dining table he started hearing the wails of the baby. He was annoyed as he heard the trio try to take care of that thing. "Your mail, my Lord. Breakfast will be served momentarily." Sebastian said holding out a tray with the morning's mail.
Ciel took the mail and scanned through the envelopes, trying his best to ignore the crying. He clenched the envelopes in his hands as he grit his teeth in annoyance. "JUST SHUT THAT BABY UP THIS INSTANCE!" He shouted as he glared at the hall.
Things got worse for him when Finny came in carrying the baby. "We're so sorry, my Lord! We're trying our best." Finny exclaimed as the baby kept crying.
"We're not sure what's wrong with him. He's been crying constantly after waking up." Balroy said rubbing the back of his neck.
'Idiots!' Ciel thought, annoyed as he stood up and started walking towards them making the three stand up straight, nervousness in their eyes as their master walked closer.
Looking down at the baby in Finny's arms he held out his arms. "Give me the blasted baby. You three are hopeless." Ciel said calming down a bit before being given the child. Ciel held the baby and looked down as the baby continued to cry. "You three leave," Ciel ordered making the servants leave as Ciel walked back towards his seat. "You're so much trouble." He muttered as he rocked the baby.
He normally wouldn't be involved in matters like this, it felt uncomfortable. It still felt uncomfortable, but soon enough the cries depleted making him sigh in relieve. "Finally." He said and glanced down to see the baby staring up at him as he sucked his thumb. Ciel unconsciously softened his eyes as he stared at the baby. "I guess you're pretty cute when you're not making noise." He told Able as the baby tilted their head as drool fled from his mouth and onto his hand.
Ciel shivered as he wiped his hand from baby drool. "Sebastian!" He called holding the baby away from him, not wanting more drool on him. Able giggled as he held his hands out, drool dripping from his hands from sucking on his thumb. "Sebastian! Come here! Now!" Ciel said before the butler came in with the tray of food.
"Here you are, My Lord," Sebastian said before taking the child making Ciel wiped his hands again with a napkin as he looked at the tray of food in front of him. Now that the baby was gone he could focus without any disruptions.
"Ciel!" A shrill voice making him sigh again. He looked up as his fiance, Elizabeth busted in the dining hall with a bright smile. "Oh, Ciel! I have missed you so much!" She said running over and hugging him tightly before he could start eating. She gasped when she spotted Able in Sebastian's arms. "A baby! Oh lord, it's the cutest thing!" She squealed running up and looking at the giggling baby. I didn't know you had a baby, Sebastian." She said holding her finger out, letting the Able grab hold of it with his dry hand as he kept giggling.
"It's not Sebastian's, I'm simply taking care of the baby till we find someone of his family to take him." Ciel told her, his eye twitching as he heard the collected gasps from his servants.
"You said we would be keeping him young master!" Mey-Rin interjected making Ciel annoyed.
"I did say that, but that was before I knew you three couldn't handle it." Ciel said rubbing his temple.
"Ciel, why would you want to get rid of this cute little thing?" Lizzy asked holding the baby out letting Ciel see Able suck his thumb with a smile. "You just need a proper room for a baby, that's all! I can help, where is the baby sleeping?" She asked looking up at Sebastian, expecting him to know.
Sebastian mentally sighed knowing where this would go. "The baby has been sleeping in my quarters." Sebastian said honestly looking at the excitement in the young lady's eyes.
"That's where we'll start!" Lizzy exclaimed running off with the baby in her arms, followed by the three servants.
"Elizabeth! Stop!" Ciel called out to her and hurried after her while Sebastian walked behind.
