Since you were now officially Lady Phantomhive, Ciel decided to mark the special occasion.
You were standing with Mey-Rin, the young maid putting a royal blue dress over your steadily growing figure.
"Mey-Rin, are you sure about this? I hate to doubt Ciel, for I love him so very dearly, but, this seems a bit much, doesn't it?" You ask the maid.
"I'm not sure, Young Mistress. The Young Master only wishes to formally announce you to society as his love, that's all he's trying to do. If you are in any way uncomfortable, you can always stick with the Young Master or Sebastian, maybe both if you'd like." Mey-Rin advises with a light smile.
A knock on the door interrupts your conversation, a smile gracing your features when you realize who it absolutely had to be.
Thankfully, you were dressed at least and wouldn't have to feel embarrassed by the fact that you're stomach was showing.
"(Y/N), may I come in?" The voice of your love asks politely, exactly as you knew he would.
"Of course. Come in." You call to him, smiling as the door opens.
Once the door opens, Ciel finds himself staring at you with a light smile and blush painting his cheeks.
"You look lovely as always, my darling." Ciel states plainly, walking fully into the room.
"Why, thank you." You tell him in response, smiling when he takes your hands and kisses the top of each.
"Are you nervous?" Ciel asks, his one blue eye staring intensely at your (s/c) face.
"I'm fine. Whatever do you mean?" You ask nervously, twirling a piece of loose hair around your finger.
"There's no need to hide it from me, and there's no reason to be nervous." Ciel states, walking closer to you.
"Ciel, what are you doing?" You ask, a light grin crossing your features as he's right in front of you.
"You're hair looks better when its down. Would you like me to wait here for you? Or wait outside, or do you just want me to head down?" Ciel states.
"I'd like it very much if you escorted me. I feel it would calm me down somewhat." You say with a light smile.
"Of course. I'd assume you're ready then, correct?" Ciel says, taking your hand.
You nod, heading out the door with your husband and love.
Yourself and Ciel stand at the top of the stairs, all heads turning in your direction.
Applause rings throughout the room, your dress in one hand, and your other arm wrapped through the crook in Ciel's elbow.
You make it to the bottom of the stairs, Ciel bowing and yourself dropping into a curtsy as Sebastian had taught you to do.
"Hello, everyone. As you know, this special event is to actually welcome the love of my life, (Y/N), into the world known as Phantomhive. So please, feel free to party,enjoy yourselves, and talk to (Y/N) at least sometime into the night if you would please. Thank you." Ciel calls throughout the room.
A few maidens come up to talk to you, but you could only smile and nod your head for you had absolutely no idea what they were saying.
"So, what is it like being the wife to the Earl of Phantomhive?" Lady Trancy (A/N: Let me know if you think it should be Elizabeth or someone else) asks with a light smile.
"Oh, it is very enjoyable. Everyone is such a pleasure here, and everyone proves they actually care about me, instead of just saying it and moving on." You reply, sharing a secret look with Ciel.
Ciel never left your side the whole night, choosing to stay with you and dance with you instead of conversing with the fellow Earls.
"(Y/N), would you care to dance with me?" Ciel asks, you nodding your head, because, of course you would.
You take Ciel by the hand, smiling as he leads you to the dance floor.
The music starts, a slow waltz beginning.
Luckily for both yourself and Ciel, you had had to practice this certain dance for your wedding.
Ciel's eye is trained intently on your own (e/c) orbs, and you can't help but blush.
The two of you start to dance, but you kept tripping over your own two feet, which Ciel knew.
"Ciel! Did you bring me out here to make a fool of myself?!" You whisper, your hand tightening in his own.
"Of course not. To be honest, in my mind, there's no one here but us. Not even Sebastian or the others. Its just you, and me." Ciel whispers back, his forehead touching your own.
The music stops suddenly, though you couldn't tell it it was someone had turned it off or the dance had ended.
Either way, Ciel took your hand and led you off of the dance floor, a light smile gracing his features.
You felt a hand on your arm, Ciel grabbing onto you and pulling you out of the person's grasp.
It wasn't someone you recognized, and, by the look on his face, it seemed as if Ciel somehow did.
"Lady Midford." Ciel spoke quietly, startling you. Midford was the last name of Ciel's ex-fiance, Elizabeth.
"Ciel, there's something I wish to ask you. Why would you break off the engagement with my lovely daughter Elizabeth in order to marry this young woman. Is it only because you got her pregnant, because you could've done the same thing to Lizzy, you know." Lady Midford told Ciel.
"I didn't break the engagement off because (Y/N) is pregnant, Lady Midford. I broke it off because I really am in love with (Y/N). I know that I would never bring your daughter happiness if I married her, which is why I didn't. I also didn't enjoy the way that Elizabeth was so rude to (Y/N)." Ciel told the woman plainly.
Lady Midford turned away, huffing, and you realized something: this had to be one of my eventful Phantomhive parties.
