Meyrin's big announcement

When I opened the door to the townhouse, the young master was plowed over by a stripe of yellow. "Ciiiiiiieeelllll! You're baaaack! I missed you so much!" She had knocked him down the steps in the pile of snow that had collected at the town house. She was sitting on his chest smiling down on him. She was dressed in a heavy pink parka and pink snow pants. "Elizabeth you're here?"

"Of course I am silly I was waiting for you to come back so what did you get me while you were away?" she asked excitedly she hadn't changed once since I had met her two years ago. She was still a giddy immature little girl even though the young master and she were now at the marrying age. The young master smiled "it's a surprise I'll only give it to you if you're a good girl." She got off him, he got up, and we went inside the warm building.

The phone was ringing and Sebastian got it, it was Tanaka, he had gone back to England a week ahead of us to see if the manor was still standing. "Yes, yes, I'll get right on that, yes I'll tell the young master." I led the young master and the others to the sitting room. Paula and I were chatting happily about my wedding with Sebastian when he came in the door.

"I am completely sorry to report that the manor is ruined my young master, Tanaka called from a phone three miles from the manor reporting that it had been completely destroyed." He bowed and waited for the response. "Fine, fine, it was getting to cramped in that place anyway Sebastian I think we shall be staying here from now on." I looked at him with a worried look if I had a child than this place, which was smaller than the main house, would be too cramped. Sebastian blinked "but sir…" but the young master just waved him off and he left to make dinner preparations. I was still mad at him for making me transform in a public area but I was more afraid of what his reaction would be if I were pregnant with his child.

Paula looked at me strangely "are you alright Meyrin," I looked back at her and nodded. "Yes Paula I am but can you help me keep a secret from Sebastian until I can muster the courage to tell him myself?" I asked she nodded her head "I'm…I'm pregnant." I mumbled the last word but Paula put her hands over her mouth.

"Really Meyrin you're….you're…"she couldn't even say those words but then Sebastian came back into the room. "There you are Meyrin, enough chatting time to set the table and this time, try not to break any dishes." I looked at Paula and she winked at me telling me she would keep my secret. I left and went to set the table and for once, I didn't break any dishes. After I had finished setting the table I had to serve the drinks. After they were finished eating Lady Elizabeth asked me if I could help her with a dress fitting.

I went with her to help her but it turned out that she wanted me to try on a dress for a play that she was putting on at her mansion. "What play may I ask my lady?" I had been put into an old-fashioned dress, so I guessed any of the Shakespeare plays. "We're putting on the English version of the Phantom of the Opera. This dress is for the masquerade ball scene. You're Christine, My butler Austin is the Phantom, and of course, Sebastian is Roul. Oh I didn't see that before." She noticed my wedding ring and engagement ring. She lifted my left hand up to her eyes. "Who?" she asked but then she knew and forced herself on me.

"Oh congratulations for you both, I knew this day would come you two look just perfect together." Wait did the young master know about the play that she was putting on? or did Sebastian know about it? I'm not so sure that the young master would appreciate his servants being put in a play without his prior knowledge.

"Miss Elizabeth does the young master know about the play?" I asked and she nodded. "I told him about it at dinner and then he told me that I could use you and Sebastian as the love interest in the play!" Her voice went extremely high pitched with excitement. The play was to be put on the next month hopefully by then I wouldn't be too big.

After we were finished with the fitting and it was even longer since I had to tell them that I was pregnant, I went back to work. We hadn't been to the townhouse in a long time so I had to dust and clean the entire town house. I managed to make an appointment with the doctor for tomorrow afternoon. It was late at night when I finally finished dusting every inch of the townhouse that the servants hadn't touched. I decided to go to the library instead of going directly to bed with Sebastian, but he found me.

"I just wanted to apologize for embarrassing you earlier today but I had to do it, the young master would not like it if you transformed back in the back of the car." I didn't pay attention I was more interested in the book I was reading 'Cinderella' I wasn't reading it but I was looking at the pictures, I was too tired to read. "Please Meyrin I don't like it when you're mad at me I apologized already please forgive me." I looked up and put the book up to my face trying not to show that I was blushing really hard, why did Sebastian have to be so good looking, damn demon. I suddenly got hungry for no reason and put down my book, not even acknowledging Sebastian and went into the kitchen to make myself a snack.

Sebastian followed me and leaned against the door post. "You know if you eat like you're going to end up getting sick again." I ate fish fingers, custard, slices of bananas and green olives when I saw what I was eating I went to the sink and got sick. But it was so good, and worth the illness. "I'm going to the doctor's tomorrow but I have a suspicion what it is." I told him he cocked an eye brow and came into the kitchen. I kissed him on the cheek and winked "but I want to keep it a secret from you until it's confirmed." He picked me up and licked some custard on the side of my mouth and then carried me off to bed.

Tanaka picked Meyrin up from the doctor's office at 3:00 that afternoon. "So Miss Meyrin what is the verdict?" the older gentleman asked when she got in the front of the black Buick. She was smiling from ear to ear and looking off in the distance. "Tanaka, I'm three weeks pregnant oh isn't that wonderful?" I hugged the old man even though he was driving. He smiled "I'm happy for you, I have seen many children grow up at the mansion and this might be the first time they weren't born at the mansion."

She looked at the road the rest of the time something pressing on her mind. They pulled up the driveway to the huge Victorian style townhouse; the young master was having a garden picnic in the rose maze with Lady Elizabeth. They got out of the car together and Meyrin went in the house to do her duties before telling the others of the exciting news. When she was finished with her morning chores Meyrin decided to pay her family in Japan a call.

She didn't care she was still frightened of Sebastian he had scolded her twice today for staring off into space. "Hello is Hatori there?" she asked as the phone on the other side was picked up.

"Meyrin! How are you? Is Sebastian treating you ok? You're getting treated correctly?" It was Momiji he was practically yelling on the other line. Meyrin had to hold the receiver of the phone a foot from her ear in order to reduce hearing loss from the child's questions.

"I'm fine Momiji, and yes Sebastian is treating me well, I feel like I'm finally home. Momiji is Hatori in his office? I have something important to tell him." There was a shuffle on the other line and then Hatori came on.

"Meyrin what a pleasant surprise at this late hour," Meyrin had forgotten about the time difference she was still a little off on sleeping times and eating times.

"I didn't catch you at a bad time did I?" she asked she could hear a soft chuckle on the other end.

"No you didn't it's only eight at night what's so important?" The door was ajar and Sebastian had found another job for Meyrin to do, but when he saw her talking on the phone, he paused to listen in on the conversation, unknown to Meyrin who thought she had closed the door completely. "I just wanted to say that I went to the doctors today and I told him of my symptoms that I was getting sick at night and in the morning and last night I had a strange food craving, and he told me that I had a high percentage of being pregnant isn't that exciting!" Sebastian stood there frozen not knowing how to handle the news. In his two thousand years of existence on the earth he had never been a father before. Hatori was speechless as well. Momiji who was listening in on the conversation grabbed the phone out of Hatori's hand and excitedly said "Wow Meyrin! That's exciting do you know whether it's a boy or a girl yet?" Meyrin giggle and knew even though she had never been a mom before that it would be too soon to tell. "I don't know yet it's too early to tell but when I find out Momiji I will let you be the first to know. That's the exciting news I wanted to share, but I'm still afraid of telling Sebastian about this." She said her voice catching on her husband's name.

"You haven't told Sebastian yet!" the little boy's voice yelled out at the other side of the phone. Meyrin looked at the door where Sebastian was listening in on the conversation but she didn't notice him. "It's not him I'm afraid of it's his family they might be like Akito and lock me away for the rest of my life." She heard the little boy groan, even though Meyrin had her memories erased of Akito abusing her she still remembered being locked in that dark room. What she was really afraid of was carrying a demon baby; it might try to kill her. "I should be getting back to work good-bye Hatori, Momiji, say hi to the other Sohmas for me ok? Bye." She clicked the off button and put the phone back on the receiver.

Sebastian had left to do the job he originally wanted her to do. Meyrin ended up doing more laundry because the young master had a very messy guest come to visit that afternoon. When she was done with the laundry and had put the linins back she decided to read. As she passed the window, the hairs on the back of her neck stuck up telling her that a thunderstorm was coming soon.

Meyrin had always been terrified of thunder storms but was or she thought that she was good at hiding her fear. She wandered down the hall toward the kitchen, and saw that it was on fire and Sebastian was yelling at Bardroy for using a flamethrower as a cooking utensil. Meyrin walked passed utterly depressed by the weather and went to see what Finny the gardener was up to. He was outside trying to calm the horses down from the approaching storm. A clap of thunder made Meyrin turn around and run back into the house. She ran upstairs, tripping a couple of times on a stair or two but she ran all the way up to the attic.

The attic was where the young master stored his parent's old possessions that didn't mean anything to him anymore. There was an old couch that was ugly to look at and looked it had been ripped up by a cat or chewed by a dog too many times. Here is where Meyrin decided to ride out the storm. She was surprised to hear a pair of footsteps coming up to the attic. She felt a hand put gently on her trembling back and looked up into Sebastian loving eyes.

"Meyrin you shouldn't be up here the young master doesn't want any of us touching the earl's old things." He looked into her scared eyes and she made room for him to sit next to her. "what's the matter Mey there's something you're not telling me. This storm isn't the only thing that you're afraid of I can tell." She grabbed him and began to cry. He wrapped his arms gently around her and stroked her hair gently. He had found that this was the only way to calm her down after a thunderstorm.

"Sebastian I'm afraid." She held on tighter and he whispered in her ear. "I'm here you're safe don't worry just tell me what's the matter." She was choking on her tears now but she wasn't looking at him, she was hiding her face in his buttoned down coat. "I can't help you Mey if you don't tell me what's on your mind, I'm getting the idea that you've been avoiding me when you don't have anything to do." He said brushing her hair again.

"I…I….d…don't mean to I'm just afraid now Sebastian." This was the first the maid had been afraid of him she usually would give anything to be near him at all times. "I'm afraid that my fantasy life is over." He smiled down at her and bent down and kissed her. "Are you saying that you believe that I don't love you anymore is that what you're worried about? Well don't worry my little kitten I will never stop loving you come on Mrs. Michaelis, let's ride out this storm in a different place." He picked her up bridal style and carried her down the attic stairs. They went to their room and sat on the bed.

"You went to the doctor's this afternoon how was that?" Sebastian asked her quietly. He waited for the next time that she looked up at him for the answer. Ciel came into the room "Sebastian I have been looking for you, you need to tell Bardroy that he can't mess up dinner this time." Lightning flashed illuminating the room. The lights went out and Meyrin clung on to Sebastian even harder. "Change of plans Sebastian put the lights back on then tell bard to get ready for dinner. Meyrin quit your sniveling and go tell Finny to come back inside." Ciel left and felt his way back to the study. Meyrin had to let go of Sebastian and get off the bed. "I'll tell you later how it went I love you." She kissed him and walked out of the room. Sebastian went to check the circuit breakers to turn the electricity back on.

Later that night Meyrin and Sebastian met up in the hallway. It was empty, the storm was still raging but Meyrin didn't seem to notice, she had a purpose this time. Sebastian was heading to the young master's study again this time he was going to write a letter and didn't notice Meyrin. "Sebastian!" she called out and he looked at her. "can this wait Meyrin I have something to do right now?" She tripped like she used to into his arms. "this is too important to wait Sebastian. I need to tell you now while I have the courage to." He looked at her. "I went to the doctor's and he said that I'm three weeks pregnant! Oh Sebastian isn't that fantastic we're going to be parents." This took him by surprise again and he smiled lightly. "That's fantastic Mey, you're going to be a beautiful mother. I love you; now get ready for bed and I'll be there in ten minutes." He kissed her softly and walked away.
