Chapter 4The special child
It has been four months since Ciel was born Rose and Sebastian could not be ever more in love with thier baby.
Ciel had grown very little in those four months, though he is now healthier in weight. The infant hasn't hardly left his mother and father's reach since he was born and seems content on keeping it that way.
"Waaaaaahhhh!" Ciel bawls, laying on his back with his fists clenched, legs kicking, and eyes squeezed shut.
"I know, angel, mama's here and going to make it all better." Rose soothes, removing his soiled clothes and nappie and cleaning him up.
After re-dressing him, she takes him into her arms, rubbing his back and kissing his cheek. Ciel starts to calm down and suck on his fist as Rose cradles him in her arms.
"There, all better, sweetheart." She coos, giving him a small section of hair play with- a habit Sebastian would later scold her for encouraging.
"Darling, are you ready to go? Tanaka has already taken the diaper bag out to the carriage." Sebastian says, entering the room.
"Yes, we just needed our nappie changed, didn't we?" She responds nuzzling her infant, who gurgles happily in response.
Sebastian escorts Rose to the carriage while cooing Ciel as they take off to the function at the Baron's estate. The Baron has promised to back the company and assist in funding future expansions if the Michaelis family were to attend his function and impress him. So the carriage moves on, gently rocking and bumping along the roads as they head to the estate.
Ciel is nursed for the first hour in transit and dozes for the last as the carriage pulls up to the grand front entrance.
Sebastian helps Rose out of the carriage, along with Mey-rin, whose duty is to carry the diaper bag and assist Rose whenever necessary. The Michaelis family and Mey-rin move to the center of the ballroom where the Baron stands talking to his guests.
"Ah, Michaelis family!" The Baron's full booming voice greets.The Baron is a rather "full" man, being heavy in stature, but average height. He is very polite but sends alarm through Rose as she sees him. She remains silent as she looks him over, smiling politely.
"Mrs. Michaelis, you have a beautiful baby boy." The Baron complements, smiling kindly, but something gleamed in his eyes as he said this.
"May I hold him?"Rose and Sebastian hesitates for a moment but decides to comply keeping up with the human appearance all the while being cautious of Ciel.
Both Sebastian and Rose nodded in agreement toneach other "I don't see why not." Rose answers, Rose cringes ever so slightly but allows the Baron to take Ciel from her arms. Much to her dismay, Ciel wakes up, rubbing at his face with his tiny fists, yawning. He looks up at the Baron fussing over him and tenses. His chin quivers and his brows furrow as he open his mouth wide to start sobbing and screeching. The Baron attempts to calm the child but finds himself at a loss. Rose begins to weep with her face buried in Sebastian's chest, falling apart at the sound of her child's cries.The rest of the guests in attendance looked at the scene from the peripherial.
"Perhaps Mrs. Michaelis should take him back, he probably needs fed again since young children need the nourishment to grow." The Baron encourages.
"Yes, yes, he probably does, is there a room that I can go to nurse him?" Rose agrees, taking her baby back into her arms as she sniffles.The Baron escorts her to quaint little sitting room and encourages her to make herself at home before gently closing the door. Instead of returning to the party, he goes into the room next to it and takes down a small portrait on the wall separating the quaint sitting room from the room in which he stands. He pulls back a short handled hatch and looks through to the sitting room, where Rose is coddling her baby boy and changing him.
"Are you okay, Miss, are you?" Mey-rin inquires, packing the unneeded things away.
"No, Mey-rin. I am not okay. I hate to hear my baby cry, he's my baby. I cannot let anyone or anything harm him. He's the most precious thing. He came to me. I didn't find him, but he found me and changed me. He's a little angel in disguise." Rose answers, gently holding her tired baby to her chest so he can listen to her heartbeat whilst thinking how ironic if ciel is a demon to be a little angel in disguise.
"I am sorry, Miss, I am. I can't imagine what it must be like." Mey-rin appreciates, nodding her head feverishly.
"No one can." Rose whimpers, kissing her baby's cheek.
Mey-rin comforts Rose whilst she is still hugging her baby brushing his blue and grey slate coloured hair from his face Rose sniffles, nuzzling her baby.At that moment, the Baron quietly shuts the little peep-hole's latch and covers the spot with the painting. He exits the room and returns to hosting his party. The child he held is special, as he thought. The child is an Angel or somthing even more special and therefore could be of use to him- not to mention how it would make a wonderful prize given the perfection of it. The Baron makes up his mind that he will somehow capture this special child.
Sebastian and the Baron talks waiting for Rose to come back as the Baron heartily agrees to promote the Funtom Company as well as finance future expansion endeavors- though the reasoning was never given.
After a few minutes Rose returns to the ballroom with her sleeping baby in her arms and Mey-rin trailing after. She returns to Sebastian's side, leaning into him as she starts to feel faint. Sebastian looks upon her and frowns with a concerned look, wrapping an arm around her waist to support her.
"Darling, I believe we should head home soon. You look rather faint. You will need to see a doctor tomorrow so we can ensure you're alright. The pregnancy did do a number on you after all." Sebastian points out, tilting her chin up towards him as she nods.
"Mr. and Mrs. Michaelis, if you are not feeling well, I urge you to go home and rest. I will ensure that your reputation isn't marred in any way by your early departure. After all, they will understand that you are a new mother and need more rest since the little one's birth." The Baron encourages, happy to accommodate the needs of the ones who created his soon to be prize possession.
"You are too kind Baron. I thank you for your understanding and apologize for my weakness." Rose responds with tired smile.
"Yes, it is very kind of you and I'm afraid it is for the best that we depart as quickly as possible so my wife may rest before she sees the doctor tomorrow." Sebastian agrees taking baby Ciel in his arms, smiling kindly at him Rose, Sebastian and Mey-rin exit the estate and climb into their carriage. Sebastian has Rose rest herself against him, but looks rather troubled.
"What is it, my darling?" Rose murmurs, finding herself more and more exhausted.
"The Baron rubs me the wrong way. I have a bad feeling about him and I know he was watching you and the baby. I followed him at a distance and saw him peeping through where a painting hung. While I have never truly warmed up to the Baron and I don't appreciate the Baron sizing up Ciel as if he were a catch or something of the like." Sebastian answers, watching their child sleep in his arms feeling protective of both Ciel and Rose as he worrys for them both.
"I don't like the Baron. He is more evil than demons are" Rose admits.
"I wish to stay far away from him" Rose and Sebastian agrees.
"I understand, darling. But you will go to the doctor tomorrow." Sebastian responds, making eye contact with her.
"Then you will need to watch Ciel." She points out."I'm sure Ciel will do just fine with the servants. After all, I have absurd amounts of paperwork to finish." He reminds her.
"I love our servants dearly, but they are practically children themselves. You will need to watch Ciel." Rose persistently persuades
"Alright, I understand. I shall watch the baby tomorrow until you return from the doctor." Sebastian submits with a sigh.
"Thank you. I do appreciate it. And…" Rose thanks, looking up at him before kissing him rather passionately. "I do love you.""I love you too, Ebony-Rose." He replies, smiling deviously.After another hour of travel, they arrive home. Sebastian hands over ciel to Rose and kisses his babys forehead as he goes to the study to work in order to pay more mind to their baby the next day.
Meanwhile, Rose goes upstairs with Mey-rin following after, lays Ciel in his crib, and changes into her nightgown. Mey-rin is given her leave as Rose takes Ciel back into her arms. The infant coos and grins his toothless smile as she tickles him gently.
"Hi, baby!" She coos at him. "Can you say mama?"Ciel gurgles a bit and speaks in baby gibberish before something akin to mama starts to form.
"Yes, that's my baby, say Mama!" She encourages.Ciel concentrates for a moment to form the right words "Mah Mah!" Ciel says, gurgling happily as his mama blows kisses on his cheek.
"Yes, That's my little angel! You're getting so big!" She coos at him.Rose continues to play with her baby boy as Sebastian comes in and changes for bed.
"Oh, I know. Can you say da-da?" Rose asks, pointing to Sebastian.Ciel speaks in gibberish a bit before saying Mama instead."Say da-da, sweetie!" Rose encourages.
Sebastian goes to bed worrying for his family as he still thinks about protecting them from the Baron Sebastian was so deep in thought that he didn't even notice Rose and Ciel.
Ciel looks his dad, his lip quivering, and buries his face in his mama's chest as he starts to cry.
"Sebastian,if you two are going to be together tomorrow then you need to properly bond with him." Rose reminds him, rubbing hearts on her baby's back.
Sebastian comes out of his train of thought as he then sees Ciel crying "Yes, my darling." Sebastian agrees, taking Ciel in his arms.
"Now, now, little one, there's no need to cry."Sebastian rests Ciel on his chest and pats his bottom. He hums a soft song to the child who sniffles and looks up at the man holding him."Dah-dah…" Ciel hiccups."Yes, little one." Sebastian encourages.After awhile of Sebastian learning all of Ciel's favorite ways to play and his schedule, Ciel begins to fuss and then sob. Within a manner of seconds, Sebastian notices the infant's bottom is wet.
"Come, little one, it seems you've soiled yourself." Sebastian soothes, taking Ciel to his crib to be changed.Moving swiftly but gently, Sebastian changes Ciel's diaper in record time, though sparing the theatrics that Rose would normally engage in. This absence of play and distraction leaves Ciel still in tears, screaming loudly as Sebastian rocks him in his arms.
"Whatever is the matter with him?" Sebastian asks, looking to Rose."You need to distract him when you change his diaper. He hates having a dirty diaper but also hates getting it changed. I usually play with him, giving him his pacifier, a toy or just tickling him and showing him how he can reach his feet." Rose explains, leaving the bed and taking Ciel into her arms. "It's okay, baby, Daddy's still learning."Ciel calms down into a whimper and eventually fusses to express his tiredness. Rose soothes him and lays in bed next to Sebastian with her infant laying on her chest while Sebastian has his hand on the infants back sothing them all into a deeper slumber like every other night.
