You sit with Ciel later into the evening, having been worn out from constant complaints about you not being "suitable" enough for Ciel.
"(Y/N), you see your ring on your finger, correct?" Ciel asks with a light sigh to let you know he isn't upset with you, and that he knows what you're thinking.
"Yes." You whisper out, your gaze locking with his own.
"That ring proves my love and loyalty toward you. I don't give that much to just anyone, which should prove to you how special to me you actually are." Ciel explains, kissing the top of your hand, right below the wedding ring.
"I'm aware Ciel." You state calmly, wincing when a butter knife flies past your head.
"Sebastian! You fool! You could have hit (Y/N)!" Ciel exclaims, standing up and almost knocking the table over.
"My apologies, Master, Mistress. I wish to not let harm come to either one of you." Sebastian tells you both, bowing.
"Just do be more careful, Sebastian." Ciel says, waving a hand to let the butler know that he is dismissed.
Sebastian bows before quickly backing away.
"Are you hurt in any way?" Ciel asks, his full attention back on you.
"No, I'm fine. I believe that its not Sebastian's fault, though, Ciel. You know as well as I do that he only acts this way if a threat is hanging above either or both of our heads." You reply, standing up as he does.
Ciel's arms are automatically wrapped around your torso, his lips on your own.
You pull back after a few minutes, shocked at what he just did.
Its not that Ciel shocks you when he kisses you, its just that he kissed you so...nonchalantly in front of everyone.
"I'm sorry, you just looked so irresistible." Ciel apologizes, his hands in your own.
You giggled, wrapping your arms back around him.
You felt a tug on your shoulder, causing you to wince in pain.
Alois Trancy stands there, a hideous smirk on his face as he looks at you.
"Let go of me." You say, your voice firm as if you forgot Ciel was near you.
"I don't think I will." Alois tells you plainly, his grip tightening so much that it makes you yelp in pain.
Ciel is at your side in an instant, gently tugging to get Alois off of you.
"Fine then. If you won't leave her alone, then I have no choice. (Y/N), go find Sebastian." Ciel says, first to Alois and then to you.
"Ciel..." You start, gripping his hands as his gaze locks on your own.
"Listen to me. I told you I would make sure you were safe, and safe is what you will be. Now, go find Sebastian, please. If anyone can keep you safe better than me, it would be him. Please go." Ciel tells you, taking your hands and giving your mouth a light kiss.
You latch onto him, tears in your eyes as your arms wrap completely around him.
"Ciel, just, please...promise me you won't let yourself get hurt...please." You say, the tears falling.
"I promise. Now go." Ciel tells you, kissing the top of your head before getting you away from him.
You run through the party, tripping over your dress as you run.
"Sebastian!" You exclaim, tears in your eyes as you sit on the ground.
"Yes, Young Mistress?" His voice asks, and in an instant Sebastian is in front of you.
"Its Ciel! He's going up against Trancy and I really think he'll do something he's going to regret. Ciel told me to find you because you could keep me safe." You explain, tears falling freely down.
"Young Mistress. I'm sure the Young Master has a plan for all of this, and he's right that I can help you, but...right now you're injured, and you shouldn't be worrying about the Young Master like this. I will make sure he knows that you are safe and injured." Sebastian tells you, picking you up bridal style as he has done to Ciel many times before.
Your gaze goes foggy as Sebastian runs through the crowd, the sounds, smells, feelings...everything, fading away.
Your eyes open sometime later, and the first thing you see is Sebastian.
"Where's...?" You start to ask, stopping mid-question when Sebastian gestures toward the side of the bed.
"Ciel...?" You ask quietly, lightly touching his cheek with your hand.
"(Y/N)...? You're alright! Don't ever scare me like that again! I already lost my parents, (Y/N), and I can't afford to lose you too!" Ciel tells you, tears in his eyes as he wraps his arms around you.
"Ciel..." You say softly, your eyes wide when the door opens.
"Ah, you're awake." A man who seems to be a doctor says with a light smile.
"Wait, what about...?" You ask, your eyes widening when you realize that you have three children inside of you.
"Lady Phantomhive, there is no need to worry. All of you are alright. The triplets and yourself." The doctor answers before you can even finish the question.
"Ok, that's good. I'm not panicking as much now." You say, a deep breath escaping your lips.
"You're right on time as well. Your babies should be coming any minute or day now." The doctor tells you with a smile, a smile forming on your lips as you grab onto Ciel.
"Do you mind...not leaving doctor? I have a feeling they are going to be coming any minute with all of the stress." You say, resting your back against Ciel's chest.
"Of course. You're husband figured this might happen, so everything is all set up. It just depends on when your babies are ready. By the way, do you know the genders, or wish to know them?" The doctor tells you.
"We've discussed waiting because we don't want to be led on with people saying we were having more girls than boys and end up having more boys than girls." Ciel explains, his arms around you.
And so ends fighting, injuries, and baby discussions.
