It's short I know. =.=


"I-I'm so sorry, Sebastian," Ciel said quietly. She was shocked, scared, and a bit hurt just from listening to the horrible tale from Sebastian.

Shocked, because she never would have even thought that could happen. Scared, that her and her child's fate could end the same way. Slightly hurt, that Sebastian had loved someone other than her.

Ciel knew that since she was not born yet, there was no possible way he could have known that he would love her, though it still hurt.

"That is why I'm trying to prevent what happened to Cecilia from happening to you. I don't want to lose you, I love you," Sebastian said.

"You really mean that?" Ciel asked. Tears were now welled up in her midnight blue eyes.

"Yes, I really do," Sebastian said. "Something that quite shocks me though, is that you are not having twins. I would have suspected you would, since twins run in my family." Sebastian said.

"Really? Well, I'm glad I'm not. That would mean that I would have to care for two infants," Ciel said laughing, though it sounded hoarse.

"Please do not die on me. Work hard to stay alive, and keep fighting. No matter how much it hurts. I cannot lose you; you're even more precious to me than Cecilia was. Ciel," Sebastian said to the girl.

Ciel's tears could not stay behind her lids anymore, and they overflew on her cheeks. Her breathing became uneven as she began to sob. Fortunately, they were tears of happiness, and not sadness.

Sebastian wrapped his arms tightly around Ciel's -not so small frame anymore-and held her. He did not want to lose her; his words were true from his heart. He loved Ciel so much, so much more than anyone could ever love someone.

Ciel eventually grew drowsy once more, and took a nap. Sebastian had spent that time reading through medical text books to prepare for any complications during the birth.

He did not know how Cecilia's birth had become complicated, though he would not let that happen to Ciel.

The pregnant teenager awoke around noon to be served in bed by her butler. Sebastian then made his crucial announcement.

"You are no longer allowed to leave your bed. From now on, I will carry you to the restroom when needed, and you will have your food served to you in here. I do not want you to walk or do anything that could induce labor," Sebastian explained.

Ciel knew that Sebastian was just protecting her, so he did not object to his orders. She was glad to have someone to care for her. Even if he was being a little overprotective.

Though, in this case he wasn't really being that overprotective. It seemed as though he was doing everything right.

Ciel smiled softly, and stayed in bed as she ate her chocolate parfait. She was growing even more tired by the moment, and she just wanted to get back to sleep.

It felt like Sebastian had drugged her so she would sleep. And he did. Though, she didn't know that, and went right to sleep afterwards.

"May your dreams be pleasant ones, my lady," Sebastian said, gathering the dishes and walking out of the room.
