Ciel's twin, normally outgoing, blushed shyly at Alois from across the room. "Oh, well, I….." She stammered, her cheeks pink.
She spent her entire life keeping her gender a secret, this man complimenting her like this at their first meeting was new.
Alois's ocean-blue eyes were heavy with lust as he looked her over, walking closer. His gaze scorching with lust.
When the blonde was a few feet away, the parlor door swung open and Ciel stood triumphantly in the doorway, "Alois, you requested to see me?"
It turned Ciel's stomach to see the greed in the blonde's eyes.
Sebastian, who stood behind Ciel, also felt nauseous at the sight.
Lust faded to irritation as Alois faked delight at Ciel's presence. "Ciel…." He sneered.
He had hoped he would have a few more moments alone with the lovely woman in front of him.
Ciel walked in to the room to have his chat with Alois while Sebastian quickly ushered Ciela away.
"Come my dear…" The butler cooed to the beautiful bluenette, casting Alois a dark look that neither Ciel nor Ciela saw.
Alois missed it too, he was too busy stealing glances at Ciela and her figure as she walked away.
The afternoon passed with Ciel engaged in conversation with Alois and Sebastian explaining the situation to the female Phantomhive twin.
Sebastian did not let Ciela leave her room or his watchful eye until he saw the blonde and his butler board their carriage and make their way down the road.
Only then did her door open and the two cautiously stepped out.
Sebastian brought her to Ciel and quickly prepared dinner.
It was late that evening when Ciel summoned Sebastian to his study.
The Phantomhive Earl looked up as his butler entered, "I sent Alois on an errand that will take quite some time, even with Claude helping him. We need to fortify the manor even more, he will be back."
"Why not simply kill them, my lord?" Sebastian asked. "I can do it quietly."
"But the ramifications will not be quiet." Ciel replied, leaning back in his chair with a sigh. "Lots of police, lots of press, sniffing around and asking questions is not what we need right now. At least until after the baby is born...….then maybe. You can marry and go away somewhere for a time. Your home, you said? Now it's not safe. Let's postpone the wedding and have you stay here, within these walls for now. You are safest here, they are safest here."
Sebastian's eyes softened at Ciel's consideration for Ciela and their baby. "Yes, my lord." Sebastian bowed and began to take his leave.
"Sebastian?" Ciel called before his butler was out of the room.
"Yes, my lord?" Sebastian asked.
"My sister looked rather pale earlier. See to it that you take good care of her." Ciel ordered, turning back to his paperwork.
A small smile settled on Sebastian's lips. "Of course, young master." The butler said as he turned on his heel and went to Ciela's room.

"My lady?" Sebastian called as he knocked on Ciela's door.
"Yes? Come in, Sebastian." Came a faint reply.
Sebastian's face clouded with worry as he entered the room and saw his little lover curled up on the bed.
"What's wrong, my dear?" He asked softly, going over and placing a gentle hand on her back.
"Nothing, I'm just…..I'm…...very tired." Ciela said quietly.
She didn't feel very well, but she couldn't put her finger on why or what the trouble was.
"Are you hurting anywhere?" Sebastian asked cautiously.
Did the stress of the day hurt their baby?
Forget waiting, forget quiet. If anything happened to Ciela, or his little one, Sebastian would march right over to Trancy manor and…
"Sebastian." Ciela's voice snapped him out of his thoughts.
"Yes, my dear?" Sebastian asked.
The female bluenette settled back against him for a cuddle.
Sebastian purred at her and held her close as she drifted into a deep sleep.
Slowly, he placed his hand over her tiny little bump as she slept.
His eyes were soft as he laid beside her and eventually fell asleep as well, dreaming of their future together as a family.
