A/N: This is more a fluffy filler chapter! I hope you enjoy it anyway! You are free to suggest what else you want to read in this story. Shall I continue into the "angels" storyline or find another suitable ending? I am up to hear what you think.


A soft breeze caressed her face while Annie was lying on the soft, green grass at the shore of a quietly murmuring river. The sun shone brightly, standing high at the sky and the sound of birds and buzzing bees filled the air.

Sudden laughter rang up as Finny and Mey-Rin started chasing Bard along the shore. Annie smiled, her eyes still closed, while she thought how wonderful the idea of Lizzy had been to spend this lovely, warm day outside with a picnic. Though Ciel had been quite reluctant at first, but Lizzy wouldn't be Lizzy if she wouldn't be able to change the boy's mind.

Suddenly a shadow fell on her, blocking the rays of the sun from reaching her face. She frowned and opened her eyes, a warm smile curled her lips as she looked up into the crimson eyes of the man, or better say demon she loved.

"How do you feel?" he asked and crouched in front of her. His gaze drifted to her belly that was still not giving too much away, at least not in the dress she was wearing. Annie propped herself on her elbows and cast a quick glance around, checking if the others could hear her, but Ciel was too occupied by Lizzy and the servants still chased each other.

"I'm fine, though I fear we cannot hide it so much longer anymore. I feel that my body starts to change," she stroked her slightly grown belly.

"I know. I just couldn't find the right moment to tell him, yet. Though he knows very well that we do certain things, but I think he never really thought about it that you would be able to get pregnant from someone like me," he whispered and placed his gloved hand on hers that still lie on her belly.

She nodded understandingly when suddenly she gasped surprised. He looked at her and smiled, both feeling the soft kick beneath the palm of their hands.

"She's moving—"he whispered; his voice filled of utter excitement. They exchanged a surprised look as cheeky grin popped up on her face.

"She? You wish to have a little baby girl?" she asked teasingly and saw a light blush on his cheeks. Just when she thought she couldn't fall any harder for him, he did or said something so sweet that made her fall in love with him more and more all over again.

"I wouldn't mind if it is a boy or a girl, but yes secretly I wish for a girl," he chuckled and winced as Ciel called his name. He placed a soft kiss on Annie's forehead before he went to see what his young master wanted.

As Annie was just about to lower down on her back again, Lizzy knelt down next to her with her ever cheerful smile plastered on her face. Her blonde pigtails wiggled in the soft wind as she took Annie's hand.

"I can't wait to see your baby," she said quietly though her voice filled with excitement. "I guess it is the most beautiful baby in the world. Imagine it to have his hair and your eyes. Or the other way round. Oh, and if it is a girl then we will go to town and buy so many cute dresses and shoes and socks for her tiny baby feet. And Sebastian will be a wonderful father, just look how much he cares for Ciel. Now imagine him with a tiny baby cradled in his arms," she babbled without even taking a breath between her sentences until she fell silent.

Annie looked over towards the butler and Ciel and imagined just that very same thing Lizzy had just mentioned seconds before. Yes, the image of Sebastian sitting in the garden of the mansion with their tiny baby cradled on his arms made her feel warm and happy. Her motherly instincts seemed to kick in slowly as she thought about her own little family she was about to have in a few months. She didn't care that her baby would be only half human. She knew the little thing inside her belly would grow to be a kind-hearted, sweet child with even some demonic powers which it would be able to control just as perfect as his or her father.

Her parents already knew about the baby and were more than amazed to become grandparents. Though Annie hadn't told them about Sebastian's true nature. And she had not the intention to mention that to them. Why should she? She loved him just the way he was and that was the only thing that counted. No one else but she and Ciel needed to know about that. Not even Lizzy or any of the other servants knew his secret and that was a good thing.

There was only one thing they had to do and that was finally telling Ciel about the baby. Annie knew that Sebastian had his doubts about his young master's reaction to that. No matter how much Ciel enjoyed Annie's company and that he accepted their love with everything that comes with it, but having a child a Human was definitely not part of their contract and so he might or might not be fine with that.

Finding the right moment to tell him was not the easiest thing, though was there ever a right moment to do such things? Is the right moment not only a saying to avoid uncomfortable situations and discussions?

"Annie? Are you alright?" Lizzy asked and pulled her out of her train of thoughts.

"What? Oh, yes—I was just lost in thoughts," she replied and sat up again, her gaze drifted to Bard and Finny who just jumped into the water of the river. It splashed and covered the girls, made Lizzy squeak.

"The water is so warm! You should join us in here!" Bard called and signaled Mey-Rin, Annie and Lizzy to jump into the water as well.

"I will not go into the water and ruin my dress and my hair," Lizzy protested while Mey-Rin had stripped down her dress and stood uncertainly at the shore, dressed in a swim-suit.

Ciel sighed annoyed while Sebastian poured a cup of tea for him. "They enjoy a day off from work, young Master. Let them have fun for a while," the butler said and cast a glance at the others.

Annie had just got up and stripped her dress as well, dressed in a beautiful red swimsuit. His eyes softened as a dreamy smile curled his lips. Ciel's gaze drifted to the blonde girl, too and frowned.

"Is it just me or did she gain some weight around her hips?" the young boy asked and saw out of the corner of his eyes that his butler twitched a second as if being pulled out of a deep trance. Sebastian remained silent for a few moments until he sighed.

"Young Master, there is something I have to tell you and I am truly sorry for not doing this earlier," he began and turned to look at Ciel. The boy watched him curiously, his blue eye twinkling in the sun.

"And what might that be?"

Sebastian looked over at Annie again and saw her lowering down into the warm water, her hand stroking over her belly. And still, after all that time, she made him feel happy. Happier than he ever thought could be possible. And he knew she would be a wonderful mother to their child. He could imagine her sitting in the garden of the mansion with their little girl cradled in her arms.

A girl? He smiled and felt deep inside his chest that this child would be a girl. Annabelle—the sound of that name sounded so right to him and he knew Annie would love that name as well.

Ciel snapped his finger in front of Sebastian's face. "Would you tell me now what's wrong?"

"Like you already know, Annie and I are—"

"Lovers," Ciel stated. "And?"

"Well, there is a reason for her changing body—"

"Let me guess, you secretly make the sweetest cakes and puddings for her instead of letting me taste them?" Ciel chuckled and saw the hint of a smile on his butler's lips.

"No—the reason is that—"

"Oh, look at Annie's belly! What's that, huh, getting a child or so?" Bard called loudly and chuckled as they had been aware of her grown belly now visible a bit more in the swimsuit. She blushed and cast a glance at Sebastian, now aware that Ciel stared at her and back at his butler.

"Is that true?" Ciel asked quietly, his voice not giving away what he was feeling about this.

Sebastian knew this was the moment he had been waiting for. He inhaled deeply, opened his mouth but remained silent. Instead of saying anything, he simply nodded slowly. He avoided looking at Ciel for a moment before his gaze drifted down to his young master. What he saw on the young boy's face surprised him even more. There was a smile. A full smile plastered on Ciel Phantomhive's face.

The butler watched him curiously, his head tilted a bit and still waiting for Ciel to say something.

Finally the boy chuckled while he shook his head.

"A demon fell in love with a human and vice versa. A demon grew an actual heart for her. And now they are getting a child together," he paused for a moment and scratched his head before he added amused, "Now I've really seen everything."


A/N: So, Ciel seems to be amused and fine with that info. Like I said in the beginning, you can chose how this story should continue! I am glad for any input, otherwise I will end it in a few chapters.

Hope you enjoyed this little chapter and please leave a review. That would make me very happy!
