A/N: Sorry i've been so lazy lately... I'll try to get quicker updates... We're trying to clean up our on-the-borderline-of-horders house... Warning for Lavender getting embarrassed by her period...XD i so love to torture my characters...

Another month passed and the phantomhive household became more and more excited for the arrival of the kits. Things had also started to boil between the Colvin's and the Michaelis'... Threats were made, words were thrown. They were on the brink of war. And if war did come, Claude would have to leave... Raphael had returned to the castle, and had been caught. They had been forced to let him go, after Sebastian's traitorous brother took the fall. It landed him a few days jail time, but that was it. Sebastian's pregnancy had also gotten dangerous. he always looked rather weak, and aside from his growing stomach he was actually losing weight. But, as his father had said, he wasn't one to give up. He was strong. And Claude had started stealing souls for his love, because human food couldn't sustain him alone anymore.

Claude was out looking for souls. He looked around, spotting a sinful looking woman, she was pretty, but wore make-up, and common clothes, not that of a noble-woman. most commoners didn't wear any make up. And that could mean she could very well be a prostitute. He jumped down off the roof he was on, behind her, put on a smile, and offered to carry her basket of fruits. She nodded, swayed by his charm. He led her into a back alley and she hardly noticed until he dropped the basket and gripped her neck, cutting off any screams. he he twisted roughly and a sickening crack was heard. He quickly coaxed the soul out of her limp form and jumped onto the roofs, heading back home. He walked past lavender, who giggled and said "Tell Sebastian and the Kits Hi for me will ya~!". Claude chuckled as she said this. She was such a bright, cheery young demon... Today she was wearing a dark purple dress with lavender accents. One that Claude had made for her. He loved to sew in his spare time.

"Of course Lavender~" He said with a grin that would scare small human children but was normal for most demons. She grinned back with her canines sharper than normal. Her fangs had just come in, soon she would hit puberty and her aging would accelerate. She and Ciel had just found out she was a demon who did that... So she would turn Ciel when she hit puberty and he could age with her with the help of a special potion.

Sebastian was sitting on the bed, leaning against the headboard. He wore a black turtle-neck sweater and a pair of flannel pajama pants. In his hand he held a letter, and there was a sad look in his eyes. "Whats the matter?" Claude said gently. The Raven looked up at him.

"Luke... is dead." He said quietly. Luke may have been Claude's brother, but he was also Sebastian's best friend. He, Flouros, and Luke had all been best friends at a very young age. Luke had even encouraged Claude to talk to Sebastian, sparking their relationship. Claude went over to him and hugged him tightly, both of them starting to mourn the loss of Luke.

"I think i've thought of a name, should it be a boy, i think we should name him after Luke, if that's alright with you Sebastian." Claude said. Sebastian smiled as the baby kicked.

"I think it would be lovely Claude...And i think someone agrees." Sebastian said softly, rubbing his stomach, making claude chuckle. "And if we do have a girl, may we name her Lilium?" Sebastian asked. Claude nodded.

"Yes of course love." He said.

Sebastian smiled a little, one of the kits had kicked again. It was as if they were responding to their conversation... "and what if its two girls or two boys?"

"Hmm... Maybe Avnas, as a second name if we were to have two boys... Since our first choice is obviously Luke." Claude said, in thought.

"And possibly Marceline as a second choice for a girl name..." Sebastian mumbled.

Meanwhile, Lavender was in a panic. She'd just realized she'd had her first period, meaning she'd hit puberty. she blushed hard, getting the rags she used for such an occurence... (rags were these things they used to soak up their period blood, not an actual rag... its like a period pad...)

She secured it in place, and went to Claude and Sebastian's room. She knocked on the door. A faint "Come in" was heard, and she burst into their room.

"Uhm... Claude, its uh... t-time to turn Ciel..." She said, highly embarrassed.

"Your early. but alright. Tell Ciel to come her, we;re going to break the contract. You go start preparing for the ceremony." Claude said. she nodded and ran off. Ciel was in his room in minutes. Sebastian was awake now. he had been asleep when Lavender had come in. Claude helped sebastian out of bed, and got him sat down at the small round glass table that was sitting there. Ciel sat opposite of him, and Claude took a knife and nicked each of their wrists with it. their blood spilled onto either side of the table, and it formed sebastians contract symbol. "Take each others wrists." He said. taking their hands and making it so the blood trickling from their wrists was in the middle of the table. Claude then started speaking in latin. "Hoc pactum non conteretur cum consensu votum faciens et a daemone sibi obligatum. Cum rerum vires ab Inferno, ut aeternum hoc vinculum rumpunt. Qui dux foedere accepto nomine non erit gehennae." And each of them felt a powerful burning where the contract mark was placed. Sebastian's faded entirely, but Ciels stayed, but it would no-longer glow that vibrant purple or shimmer in the light.

Claude bandaged each of their wrists, settled Seabstian back into bed and took Ciel to the basement.

Now for the ceremony...
