Hello! :) A lot of you have been requesting that Corinna has either twins or a girl, and I didn't want to ruin it, but since you guys keep insisting :) ….She is going to have twins. I've always been planning to make her have twins, and now guys know that, but you guys will just have to keep reading to find out their genders! ;) Anyways, on with the chapter! :)

Corinna: *crying* Lady Faine does not own Kuroshitsuji or any of its characters….

Me: Don't cry Corinna!

Corinna: I can't help it, the man I love doesn't love me back.

Me: Don't say that, Sebastian is just being an idiot.


Corinna pulled away quickly and Jasper smiled at her.

"What was that for?" He asked her playfully.

"I just needed to see something that's all," Corinna said, picking at the grass.

"And what's that?" Jasper asked, playing with tendrils of her hair.

"If there's any magic when we kiss," Corinna said, plucking a flower from the grass near her and busying herself with plucking its petals off.

"And is there any magic?" Jasper asked curiously.

Corinna forced herself to look at him and she gave him a fake grin. "Yes." She lied, and went back to plucking at the flower petals of the flower in her hand. Jasper grinned at her and kissed her on the cheek.

"Let's go back home before it gets too late," Jasper said, standing and reaching his hand out to her to help her up. Corinna gratefully took his hand, anxious to go home.


Several Days Later

Corinna sat in her room, trying to focus on reading her book, but her mind was too preoccupied, so she eventually gave up trying to read and took to pacing instead.

Anne sat in a chair near the fireplace, silently mending any holes in Corinna's stockings.

"Miss, please sit down. You're going to make me sick with all your frantic pacing," Anne said frowning.

Corinna stopped and looked at Anne silently. "Oh, I'm sorry," Corinna said and went to sit next to the roaring fire by Anne. "I'm just so anxious." Corinna added after sitting down.

"I know. Tomorrow's a big day," Anne said.

"I don't know if I can do this Anne. I don't want to marry Jasper."

"I know my lady. But it's for the best isn't it?" Anne said quietly.

Corinna sighed and began playing with the stockings Anne was mending. "Ciel's not even back yet and he promised he'd walk me down the aisle." Corinna said, remembering how she had to walk down the aisle by herself at the rehearsal earlier that day.

"He'll be here in time," Anne said.

"But tomorrow is my wedding and what if he doesn't get back in time?" Corinna asked, distressed.

Anne gently placed her hand on Corinna's arm. "Have faith my lady. He'll show up in time." Anne gently placed her things aside and stood up. "Let's get you to bed. You need lots of rest for tomorrow."


Corinna nodded reluctantly. She didn't want to go to sleep. Sleeping would just make the next day come faster, and she didn't ever want tomorrow to come.

Corinna didn't get to sleep in, which upset her. Waking up earlier than she was ready to get up always made her grumpy. But Anne had woken her up early, bathing and feeding her while Corinna had just been in a tired daze.

"Miss?" Anne asked.

"Hmm?" Corinna asked.

"Please put your robe on. We're going down to Lord Jacobs' study to get you ready," Anne said, holding out a robe to Corinna.

Corinna numbly took the robe and slipped it on, tying the sash around her waist as she followed Anne out the door. The entire mansion was busy and lively, with servants rushing back and forth, trying to get things done before the ceremony. Corinna watched them all with an ever-growing lump of fear rising in her throat. This was all for her. Her wedding to Jasper, a man she didn't even love. Corinna felt like falling to the floor and weeping, but she bit her lip and continued following Anne.

"Right in here miss," Anne said to Corinna, opening the door to the study. Corinna walked in and saw her dress draped gently over a chair. Corinna slowly ran a hand over it and felt tears prick her eyes. It certainly was beautiful, but it wasn't something she wanted to wear on this day.

Anne closed the door behind her and pulled the curtains closed, shutting out the sunlight that streamed through the windows.

Corinna soon found herself wearing her wedding gown, with Anne doing her hair and makeup. When Anne was finished she opened all of the curtains to let the sun back in, and Corinna looked at her reflection in the mirror. She didn't even recognize herself anymore. How could I have let things get here? Corinna asked herself. She placed her hand on her belly and frowned. I'm doing this for you. She said silently to her belly, knowing that she wasn't doing this for her child. She was doing this because she didn't know what else to do. Corinna turned away from the mirror that had been put in there for her and sat down in a chair.

"Here, put these on miss," Anne said, handing Corinna a pair of long, white, silky gloves.

Corinna slipped the gloves on, liking the feeling of the silk fabric against her skin. There was a sudden knock at the door and Corinna looked up to see Anne letting Ciel in. Anne quietly stepped out of the room to let them talk in peace, just as Corinna quickly jumped up from her chair and rushed to Ciel, embracing him in a tight hug.

Ciel hugged Corinna back for a small instant and then pried himself free from her arms. "You look beautiful," He said quietly to her.

Corinna gave him a sad smile. "Thank you," She said, feeling tears beginning to pool in her eyes. "I was afraid you wouldn't make it." She added.

"I promised I'd be here, didn't I?" Ciel said, scowling. "Here, I brought this for you. It's a gift. Wear it." Ciel pulled out a small sapphire bracelet from his coat pocket and handed it to Corinna.

Corinna took the bracelet and held the delicate bracelet in her hands, staring at is as tears began to drip from her eyes.

"Don't cry." Ciel scolded her, scowling. "You'll ruin your makeup."

"I'm sorry," Corinna said, fanning her eyes with one hand. "Thank you." She mumbled to Ciel, forcing a smile onto her face. "How long do I have till the ceremony starts?" She asked Ciel, slipping the bracelet onto her wrist.

"Not very long." Ciel answered, watching her with his blue eye. "Don't mess this up," Ciel said sternly to her before he turned to leave the room.

Corinna didn't even watch Ciel leave; she was too busy watching her sad reflection. I'm about to be married… Corinna turned away from the mirror quickly, unable to breath as Julia's words echoed in her head. She suddenly turned and rushed for the door that led out to the garden, wrenching it open.

"Where are you going miss?" Anne asked, entering back into the room.

"I need some fresh air." Corinna replied, closing the door behind her.


The fresh air seemed to clear Corinna's head for a moment, and her normal breathing returned to her. She absent-mindedly ran her fingers of her bracelet as she silently made her way through the gardens, deep in thought. She finally found herself at the tree where she and Sebastian use to meet, and she placed her gloved hand on its bark. She heard careful footsteps approaching and she looked up to see Sebastian standing a few feet away, watching her with his red eyes. They stared at each other for a few moments in silence before Sebastian turned to go.

Corinna took a step towards him reaching her hand out instinctively, but she lowered it quickly. "Wait. Don't go." She said, causing Sebastian to halt in his tracks.

"I know how you feel…" Corinna began, "But that doesn't change the way I feel. I love you Sebastian, and that will never change. I just thought you should know."

"This won't change anything." Sebastian said without turning around. He couldn't believe she was saying this. He wanted to just sweep her off her feet and run away with her in that moment, but he was under strict orders to leave her alone. Which is more important to you Sebastian? Some brat's soul or the woman carrying your child, the woman you love? His heart seemed to say. It was something his mother would have said to him in a time like this.

"I know that it won't change a thing, but…" Corinna's voice trailed off.

"You're about to be married. So why don't you just leave me alone," Sebastian said, trying to hide his agony.

"I don't understand why. Can't we still be around each other at least?" Corinna begged. "I still want you to be in my life, even if we're not lovers anymore." I want you to be in your child's life. Corinna added silently in her mind.

"He makes you happy. I can see it in the way you smile when you're around him sometimes. I won't be around forever, so why can't we just leave things as they are? Can't you understand that?" Sebastian asked, and Corinna could have sworn that she heard a touch of agony and pain in his voice. But it was hard to tell with his back turned to her.

"He tries to make me happy, and sometimes he even succeeds in making me forget my pain, even for a little while. And that's what makes me smile. But with every moment that I spend with him, I wish it was you Sebastian." Corinna felt tears trickle down her cheeks and she quickly pulled off one of her gloves to wipe them away.

Sebastian still stood with his back to her, and his eyes widened in surprise at her words, but still he didn't turn around. And it took all of his being just to walk away. And he felt like he was slowly dying with each step that he took.

Corinna sadly gazed after him, wishing that she had the strength to run after him. But she felt weak and helpless, so she turned slowly an quietly to walk back inside. She took a deep breath once she was back inside Mr. Jacob's study and looked in the mirror, checking to see if her makeup wasn't ruined.

"I can't do this." Corinna whispered to Anne, who sat silently beside the mirror. Anne didn't say a word, she knew that it was Corinna's decision to make, and she stood to go open the door for whoever was knocking. Anne opened the door and a young maid was standing there, with Jasper's father beside her, in a wheel chair.

"Lord Jacobs would like to see Lady Corinna," The maid said.

Anne nodded opened the door wider so that Jasper's father could be wheeled in.

"Miss, your father-in-law is here to see you," Anne said.

Corinna turned and gave a half smile. He looked so frail and old from when she had last seen him a few days ago. "Hello Mr. Jacobs."

"Robert." He coughed sternly.

Corinna bowed her head respectfully. "Forgive me. Robert."

"Please leave us be," Robert said, signaling to the two maids in the room to leave.

"But Sir, I was ordered not to leave your side," His maid said.

"Bah, I'll be fine," Robert said.

Anne took the young maid's arm and silently dragged her from the room, closing the door shut behind them.

"Now. Let me have a look at you, give a little spin." Robert coughed. Corinna did as she was told and turned in a slow circle.

Robert nodded in approval. "An excellent dress, it suits you well. I shall have to pay the woman who made it an extra sum for her amazing work." He paused to hack painfully into his handkerchief. "You look so much like father and yet you have your mother's beauty. I'm so pleased that you're marrying my son. You have no idea how much happiness it brings to an old man such as myself that you'll be part of my family. I've been waiting for this day for years now."

"If only my parents were here to see it," Corinna said sadly.

"I know that they're looking down upon us right now, smiling. They always wanted what was best for you and your brother," He smiled weakly at her.

Anne gave a little knock and then she opened the door. "It's starting," She said.

Robert nodded. "Well I best go to my place. Good luck," He said.

Corinna gave him a gentle hug, and then he was wheeled away by his maid, just as Ciel walked into the open door, dressed smartly in his best clothes.

"You look so cute Ciel," Corinna said, trying to lighten her mood. Ciel just scowled at her.

"Ready?" He asked her, offering his arm to her. Corinna hesitated and then nodded reluctantly, taking his arm.

Ciel led her from the study and out into the hallway. They silently made their way to the double doors that led out to the terrace, where the ceremony was being held.

"Is Madam Red here?" Corinna finally asked, trying to break the awkward silence.

"No. She couldn't make it." Ciel answered, trying to avoid telling her that their aunt was dead.

"Why not?" Corinna asked.

"I don't know." Ciel replied angrily. "Now focus," He said as they finally stopped in front of double doors.

Corinna's heart hammered in her chest. "I can't do this." She whispered.

"You have to." Ciel growled. "Now smile."

The band began to play and a young little flower girl slipped through the doors to shower rose petals onto the terrace outside. Corinna took a deep breath and covered her face with her veil before taking the bouquet of flowers that Anne held out to her.

"You look so beautiful!" Lizzie cried happily as she ran towards her and squeezed her.

"Thank you Lizzie." Corinna smiled at her as she watched her join the line of bride's maids lined up in front of her. The bride's maids walked down the aisle with their escorts and Corinna watched them all walk through the double doors. She wasn't great friends with any of them, and it just added to her feeling of detachment. Then the doormen opened the double doors for her and Ciel, and Corinna saw the terrace filled with tons of men and women, faces she knew and faces she didn't. Anne picked up the train of Corinna's dress as Corinna stepped out the double doors.

Corinna walked down the aisle, arm in arm with Ciel, and she numbly took in the people that smiled at her as they stood and watched her progress down the aisle. She couldn't hear the music that played, and she couldn't hear her own thoughts. All that sounded in her ears was her own breathing and her heartbeat. She looked at Jasper watching her and smiling, but she couldn't smile back. She soon found herself at the wedding arch, and Ciel let go of Corinna's arm, causing her to feel lost and alone. Anne took Corinna's bouquet from her hands and stepped to the side to hold it. Jasper took her hands and faced her in front of the priest.

The priest began to speak and she tried to hear his words, but she was in her own, numb world. She looked around her and noticed Sebastian standing near the terrace doors, looking pained and distressed, causing the entire world to rush back to her like a flood of sound and color.

"If any man can show just cause, why they may not lawfully be joined together, let him now speak, or else hereafter forever hold his peace." Corinna heard the priest say, and she watched Sebastian, who looked as if he was fighting an internal battle over whether or not to say anything. But she realized that she might just be imagining that. Please say something Sebastian… Corinna silently begged. When silence responded to the priests words he resumed speaking. Corinna felt like crying. She was a fool for hoping Sebastian would say something.

"I require and charge you both, as you will answer at the dreadful day of judgment when the secrets of all hearts shall be disclosed, that if either of you know any impediment, why you may not be lawfully joined together in Matrimony, you do now confess it. Or be you well assured, that if any persons are joined together other than as God's Word doth allow, their marriage is not lawful." The priest said to Corinna and Jasper. Jasper said nothing, but Corinna could feel words beginning to rise in her throat. She glanced at Ciel, and he gave her look, warning her to not say a word.

When neither of them said anything, the priest continued. "Do you, Jasper Mason Jacobs, take this woman, Corinna Marie Phantomhive, to be your wife, according to God's holy decree; do you promise to be to her a loving and loyal husband, to cherish and keep her in sickness and in health; and, forsaking all others, to be faithful only to her as long as you both shall live?" The priest asked Jasper.

"I do." Jasper said, smiling and flipping Corinna's veil to reveal her face.

"Do you, Corinna Marie Phantomhive, take this man, Jasper Mason Jacobs, to be your husband, according to God's holy decree; do you promise to be to him a loving and loyal wife, to cherish and keep him in sickness and in health; and, forsaking all others, to be faithful only to him as long as you both shall live?" The priest asked Corinna.

Corinna was silent. She looked at Jasper's smiling face, at his smiling mother who looked thinner from worry about her beloved husband. She looked at Ciel and then to Jasper's sick father and then finally she looked to Sebastian, but he was nowhere to be found. Corinna realized that everyone was waiting for her response, so she took a deep breath. "I do." She said, feeling as if she had died the moment those words left her lips.
