"I am so excited, Mommy's day is coming. Cousin Lizzy, it is a happy thing!" Rachel cried.
"Your mommy is going to be so happy to see the surprise,I can't wait to see how adorable all of you look in your outfits."
"Mommy is a good and nice and lovey mommy."
"Yes, I see that." Lizzy giggled she loved the children's high opinion of Ciel.
"Cousin Lizzy, are you going to go spend mommy"s day with your mommy?" The smile faded from Elizabeth's face.
"No Rachel, I don't think so."
"that is so sad, is she a bad mommy?"
"not exactly, she just wants me to do something that I don't like."
"Sometimes mommy and daddy ask me to do things I do not like too."
"That's different sweetie." Lizzy found herself in a tight embrace.
"Poor cousin Lizzy, do not worry, I will share my mommy so you are not sad."
"Thank you, that's very nice." The older girl said returning the hug.
"My mommy loves you Cousin Lizzy."
"I know he does, I love him too, he's always been good to me."
"He was?"
"Yes, he protected me, and made sure I had everything I needed when I was with him."
"That is good,I would be so sad if you did not have something."
"Thanks to your mommy and daddy, I always will have things."
"Are you going to have babies someday?"
"Rachel Ann, that's enough." Ciel said entering the room with Angelina and Kathryn.
"I'm sorry, she has some sort of thing with babies." He said placing the infants in their bassinets.
"It's alright, she's just curious."
"Yes I am curious Rachel, Cousin Lizzy, These are our babies,do you like them?"
"Rachel, Lizzy has met Angelina and Kathryn before, she helps take care of them too. You only need to introduce your sisters once, she won't forget." Ciel seated himself between the two infants and gave each a bottle.
"How do you do that Ciel, feed them both together , isn't it difficult?"
"At times. You get used to it, it was harder with Rachel and Vincent. It wasn't easy to get those two to be still long enough to have a bottle."
"we were wiggly" Rachel explained.
"You still are, my little movers."
""but you love us anyway, even when we make you go up the wall." Ciel chuckled.
"Where did you hear that?"
"Daddy said that Mey-Rin and Finny made him go up the wall and will make him ring their annoying necks."
"I guess I'm going to have to have a talk with him then."
"Is daddy in trouble?"
"yes. He shouldn't be teaching you children that kind of thing."
"oh no, are you going to put daddy in the corner?"
"if I have to."
"oh dear, daddy is in big trouble." The child fretted.
"Wait, you can't just go-" Mey-Rin's panicked voice cried out. Ciel had a terrible feeling about the person his maid was talking to.
"what's wrong Ciel?" Lizzy asked worriedly.
"If that's who I think it is, Sebastian is going to wish he had thought before opening his mouth."
"Ciel, how wonderful to see you again,Agni and I just could not wait to see-"
"Rachel, go get Daddy for me please." Ciel said cutting Soma off.
"Yes. Mommy." The young demon rushed from the room.
"What the bloody hell are you doing here?" Ciel growled.
"Ciel, please don't get angry." Lizzy pleaded.
"We just wanted to stop by for a few days and -"
"the hell you will, you were warned. You can't just stop by and expect-" Sensing her mother's anger, Angelina began to growl and squirm, Kathryn whimpered softly.
"Ciel, maybe you should calm down, the twins seem upset." Lizzy said nervously.
"I'm not going to -"
"Ciel dear, you wanted to see me?"
"You," Ciel turned to his mate. "What's this?" He pointed to their guests."
"Prince Soma and Agni."
"very good Sebastian, since you did this, when they get on my nerves, I'm holding you responsible m, did you know they plan to stay a few days?"
'My darling Ciel, I had no idea they were going to visit so soon."
"What have we done to make you so angry?" Soma asked clearly confused.
"I told you I'm not as forgiving as Sebastian. If you're staying here, you'll be sharing the building across the yard with Sebastian."
"you intend to through me out of my own home?" Sebastian wasn't all that surprised.
"From now until they leave, you can call that place home."
"But-"
"Quiet. As for you two, Mother's day is very close. If you're going to be here, you should know that the day is very important to me-"
"what a selfish-'"
"I'd advise you to stop talking,it's going to end badly for the three of us if you continue." Sebastian whispered.
"For your information, not that I need to explain myself to a whiny person like you, but it wasn't easy for me to accept being a mother at first, it's important to me because it's more for my children, It's not even about me, I celebrate the fact that they're alive, that I have this time with them. I nearly lost Rachel and Vincent before they were born. I have never been so scared. I will not have anyone ruin this for them. If at anytime you decide you want to be the center of attention, don't."
"We will respect your rules Ciel,you have my word." Soma vowed.
"Pardon me Masters, Alois and Lenora have arrived." Cynna announced.
"Show them in." Ciel replied. Seconds later, Alois walked in with his infant daughter in his arms.
"Did we come at a bad time?" He asked looking around at the expressions on everyone's face.
"No, were about done here. You can sit down if you like."
"Thank you, I haven't had the chance all doesn't like it, I have to be walking around constantly or rocking."
"I know how that is.I've been through it with all my little ones." The group was amazed at how quickly Ciel calmed down when he was talking about the children. It seemed as if none of the anger he had felt had been expressed.
"She's starting to not sleep too. It's really hard." Alois looked down at the sleeping child and smiled.
"She's worth it though, I wouldn't trade my baby girl for anything, it's funny, before Lenora, I thought I had everything I could ever want with Naveen, Luca and Hannah.I didn't think I could be happier, but then here she is."
"Yes, I know what that feels like too. When I hold my children, it's such an amazing feeling, and I can't believe that something so wonderful came from someone like me."
"I don't understand what just happened." Soma looked to Sebastian and Agni.
"It's a mother thing." Alois replied..
"What does that mean exactly?"
"It means you're not a mother so you can't understand."
"Well, I think we're gonna to excuse ourselves and get set up in our quarters,I would like to have the children visit later if you don't mind." Sebastian said ushering Soma and Agni quickly from the room.
"I'll consider it." He heard his mate call back before continuing the discussion with Alois.
