Sebastian slept in today. With the growing weight; he was tired more and started
sleeping. Grell left early the other day because he had to go to work. Will was
being a total dick that day and forced him to go. Sebastian also found out that
Grell had Tuesdays and Thursdays off, if he didn't have over-time that is. That
would be very beneficial for Sebastian and the baby. If Sebastian got a job, he
would be able to leave Grell with the baby. Sebastian's cat jumped on the bed
and mewed in his face. He reached out to pet the cat.
"Good morning, Azalea! I'm sorry I slept in. Carrying a baby is a lot harder
than it looks!"
Azalea meowed again. This time she rubbed against Sebastian's stomach that was a
lot more noticeable underneath his shirt. He placed his hand on top of his
slightly swelled belly and started to rub it. He was waiting for the moment when
the baby kicked. He wanted Grell to be there as well. Speaking of the reaper; he
was calling his phone. The demon yawned and stretched as he grabbed the phone.
"Hello?"
"Hello, Bassy! Did I wake you?"
"No, no you didn't at all."
"That's good."
Sebastian took the opportunity to ask,"Are you coming with me to my appointment
today?"
"Appointment?"
"To find the gender of my baby."
"Oh that was today? I didn't know that. I have to start using that calendar
Ronnie bought me."
Sebastian chuckled.
"So are you free?"
"As a bird! Today is my day off. I'll be over soon."
"Okay. I'm not going to be doing anything productive anyway since you won't let
me."
"Good. I'll bring breakfast!"
"Sure."
Some silence passed before Sebastian said, "Alright then. See you soon!"
"Ta-ta Bassy!"
Sebastian hung up the phone and set it back down. He sighed as he laid back in
the bed and, for the first time in a while, turned on the television. All the
while Sebastian rubbed his stomach.

Grell finally showed up with the breakfast, which consisted on a scone for
Sebastian, and a croissant for himself. They were seated at the couch and
eating.
"Is this from the same place the red velvet cake was?"
Grell nodded. He was already eating his food.
"I got it for you because I know that you're still having morning sickness."
"Yes, I am."
"But that's all you're having, right?"
Sebastian cocked his head.
"What do you mean?"
"You aren't having any more pains, are you?"
Sebastian shrugged.
"Not like before but I do sometimes."
Grell patted his tummy.
"You have to take it easy, Bassy. I want you and the baby to be okay."
"I know Grell, I apologize."
It was obvious Sebastian has a hard time doing nothing so Grell had an idea in
his head.
"Hey Bassy, what if I stay here tonight after the appointment?"
"You mean like...spend the night?"
He nodded.
"Exactly! I could sleep on the couch if you prefer."
Sebastian twiddled with his thumbs.
"Actually...I would like it if you...would sleep with me. In my bed."
Green eyes widened.
"Sleep with you?"
Sebastian nodded.
"I just...ever since Claude left I...it's just been so lonely. Maybe it's just
the baby doing this to me I don't know but I just want to...cuddle with
somebody."
Grell smiled.
"It's okay. I understand what you're feeling, I'll stay with you tonight."
Sebastian looked up and smiled.
"Thank you Grell."
"Don't mention it."
Sebastian took a bite into his scone. Grell looked at the clock.
"What time is your appointment?"
Sebastian swallowed and answered,"In half an hour."
"We should probably get going now, so we won't be late."
Sebastian nodded and took another bite of his scone.
"I'll get my coat."
Grell watched Sebastian get off the couch with a little bit of struggle and go
to his room. He was also getting a slight waddle. Grell smiled to himself. He
couldn't wait to meet the baby the demon was carrying.

While in the car drive to the doctor's office, Grell decided to pump Sebastian
up because he didn't look as excited as he was.
"So Sebastian."
"Yes?"
"Are you planning on having a baby shower?"
"No. The only one that would show up is you."
Okay so maybe that was the wrong question to ask him. Grell had another question
though.
"Are you excited for the baby to come?"
That got some sort of reaction out Sebastian.
"Yes I am."
"Has the baby kicked yet?"
Sebastian rubbed his stomach.
"Not yet though I'm waiting for it. I also want you to be around when it
happens."
Grell took one hand off the steering wheel and placed it on Sebastian's slightly
bulged stomach and rubbed it in slow circles.
"I want to be around for it too."
"So would you like to be around for the birth?"
Grell took a quick glance at him.
"You don't have to be in the room with me if you don't want to but I would like
it if you came nonetheless."
Grell smiled and nodded.
"I would like to be there, in the room too."
Sebastian turned to face Grell and he had a genuine smile on his face.
"Thank you Grell."
"Don't mention it!"

At the doctor's office; they got taken in fairly quickly. They were also there a
few minutes earlier. Sebastian was seated on top of the cot and Grell was
standing next to him.
"Alright , how are you feeling?"
"I'm feeling fine."
"No morning sickness? No more of the pains you told me about earlier?"
"I have been throwing up a few times. Never back to back. I only had the pain
once since I came here."
The doctor nodded and wrote it down. He then looked at Grell.
"You've been with him a lot, yes?"
"Yes."
"Has he been relaxing like he's been instructed?"
Grell looked at Sebastian and then back at the doctor and nodded.
"Yes he is, I make sure that he's sitting down whenever he has the chance. I let
him get up to cook his meals and whenever he had to use the bathroom or bathe.
That's just about it."
"Good. Are you ready?"
Sebastian smiled and nodded. He laid down on the cot and let the doctor lift up
his shirt to reveal his growing baby bump. Grell grabbed Sebastian's hand and
squeezed it. He was so excited. The doctor squeezed the gel on his bare stomach
and then placed the wand on top of it. It wasn't long until they heard a noise.
"What is that?"
The doctor smiled and said, "Your baby's heartbeat."
He turned the monitor around and showed Sebastian and Grell. The screen was blue
and it showed his baby curled up inside of him. The head and the legs and hands
were visible. It moved a little but if it was kicking, Sebastian couldn't feel
it. Grell was wiping away tears. He couldn't believe that he was staring at
Sebastian's baby on the monitor.
"Yep, it's a boy."
Sebastian squeezed Grell's hand. Grell smiled at Sebastian. He looked so happy.
He was probably so glad that he didn't kill him because Claude wanted him to.
"I have a son?"
The doctor nodded.
"Yes, you do."
Sebastian chuckled. Words couldn't describe what he was feeling.
"You're baby is doing fine. There's nothing wrong that I see."
"Beautiful."
Grell asked, "Can I have a picture of him. Please? So I can put it up in my
office."
The doctor nodded. He turned off the monitor and wiped off the remaining gel on
Sebastian's stomach. Sebastian pulled down his shirt and then smiled.
"Goodbye Sebastian, I'll see you in two months, okay?"
He nodded and then left the room with Grell. Grell went over to the doctor and
got his picture and then they left. The car ride back was spent with Sebastian
staring at the picture of his sonogram.
"In four months, I'll meet my baby."
"You're going to start picking out names now."
Sebastian sat back and thought while he was rubbing his stomach.
"Let's see, Vincent? No. How about Sebastian the second? Cheesy and unoriginal."
"I'm sure you'll find a name."
"It's not going to be Claude, I'll tell you that much. Though there was one
name...my master used to always talk about having kids, he never got to because
I ate his soul before that could happen. He said that if he had a son, he would
name him Ciel."
Grell thought about it.
"Ciel huh? Sounds nice."
"I've always liked that name. I liked my master's last name too.
Phantomhive...Ciel Phantomhive..."
"You aren't going to give him your last name?"
"Ciel Phantomhive Michaelis? It doesn't sound right. I like it just the way it
is. Don't you?"
The question wasn't for Grell. It was for the baby. The baby must have liked the
name because Sebastian felt a hit against his stomach.
"Grell! The baby...it kicked..."
Grell's eyes widened and placed a hand on Sebastian's stomach. Not too long
after, Grell felt a hit on his hand. Not too strong but noticeable enough.
"Sebastian..."
The demon chuckled.
"Ciel Phantomhive it is..."
