"You do know that a vow renewal is different than a wedding, it's not an official ceremony and all of this isn't necessary." Ciel said as he watched his mate hand out lists to Lizzy, Ann, Alois and the servants.
"fair enough, let's call it our wedding instead of a renewal." The older demon replied.
"we're already married, it's not really a wedding if-"
"Ciel, please humor me, I want you to have the wedding you weren't able to. You deserve at least that."
"But-"
"Mommy, can we eat the cake?"Rachel called from behind.
"You have to wait, the renew-" he heard Sebastian clear his throat.
"alright, fine the wedding,are you happy Sebastian, is still a little while away, that's when the cake will be here."
"Yes."Sebastian said suddenly.
"Yes what?"
"You asked if I was happy,yes quite happy."
"silly mommy,you forgot you asked daddy. " Rachel giggled.
"Yes, I guess I did."
"Mum, can Lovey wear a red ribbon too?"
"They aren't ribbons Rowan, those are ties." Ciel explained.
"Oh..can Lovey have one?"
"We'll make one just for him alright?" Rowan grinned happily.
"Mommy, I would like to wear my pretty princess dress to your wedding, is that okay?"
"Oh course it is, you can even wear the tiara your grandfather gave you."Rachel gasped excitedly.
"The sparkling one, it has lots of good things on it and it is shinny."
"Yes I know." Rachel twirled around and watched her ball gown move gracefully around her.
"She's quite the little princess."
"She's a tiny Lizzy." Ciel whispered in his mate's ear.
"Indeed she is, we have such a wonderful family."
"Of course, they are my children after all." Ciel declared.
"Our children, they have some of my amazing traits as well."
"Coincidence, my children are wonderful because of my family."
"is that right?"
"Yes."
"Here we go." Alois whispered,Ann chuckled. It was good to see them teasing each other again.
"As their father, I must insist that you concede-"
"never, the children get their good traits from me."
"Some perhaps, however, I d-"
"Masters, as entertaining as I find these arguments, I should remind you that you haven't much time and you must give us your instructions." Cynna said.
"We shall continue this later." Sebastian turned back to his work.
"Mommy and daddy are funny!" The young princess laughed.
Evian entered the room with Pluto close behind.
"Mama, puppy wants to help us too."
"Evian, Pluto just wants to eat everything." Ciel told him.
"But that's not nice."
"No, it isn't."
"Dad?" Evian called turn to Sebastian.
"Yes my son?"
"When you marry Mama again, are you going to get him a new ring?"
"No,It's not the same as -" Ciel had begun to say.
"My dear Evian, what a wonderful idea."
"No, a new one isn't necessary. I have-"
"My dear Ciel, how can you expect to start over if we don't do this properly?"
"We've done it properly, well sort of. Anyway, I don't need a new ring, I like the one you gave me, it means a lot to me." Ciel touched the sky blue gem lightly. Sebastian smiled.
"You will of course keep it my love, I will give you a second one to wear with it." Sebastian rested a hand on Ciel's cheek and allowed him to lean his head into his palm.
"My goodness." Ann whispered. Lizzy glanced over to the queen.
"sorry, but I don't quite understand, why did you say that?"
"Ciel became very upset at the thought of losing that ring, it was a gift given in love, by his reaction I can tell that he-"
"Grandma Rachel!" The four eldest children shouted as Ciel's family joined the group. Ciel remained with Sebastian.
"my darling Ciel, to hear you say those words, to know that my love means that much to you, it fills my heart with such happiness. You and I have been together a very long time now,we have shared good and bad times. There have been insecurity on both sides and yet, all this time has shown me that whatever may happen in our lives, you are still mine to cherish."
"Of course I'm still yours. I always will be., you're my destiny Sebastian and I love you." Sebastian kissed him passionately. Ann wiped away a tear of happiness from her eyes.
"This my love, is one of countless reasons why I would do it all again and again. I belong to you Ciel, it will also be this way. After all this time and forevermore."
"Rachel laid her head on her husband's shoulder watching her son and his mate. Vincent wrapped an arm around his wife.
"Vincent, they're so..there are no words strong enough." She said quietly.
"Our Ciel knows exactly what our love feels like, just as you and I share an undying love, even now. Our son has a forever love of his own." Vincent replied.
"It's incredible isn't it, it comes along so scarcely,this pure love. For a demon to possess it, and our son to give it back Ciel is truly loved, he's created a family much like ours." Seconds later, both Sebastian and Ciel greeted them happily. Evian rushed over as well, he could hardly wait to tell them the news.
