This chapter was so long...that I had tp break it up in order to write it. But I hope that you don't get too confused with it.
"A party?" Ciel asked turing around in his chair and facing his beauiful wife that was standing on the other side of it.
"I think that it is an amazing idea! Think about it Ciel! I will be able to have fun and not have to be worried about anything and you would be able to relax and talk to some of your friends."
Lizzy was trying so hard get Ciel to find some way to have fun, but him being him, fun was something that he didn't really want to take part in. He was still convinced that something was not right with Lizzy even thought there were a lot of sighs that she was fine. She was up and moving around a lot more and she had her natural glow back. Ciel was trying to find so many reasons to not have one but then Lizzy would just give him reasons why he should have one. This has been going on for days now but Lizzy thinks that today might be the day that he finally says yes.
"No." he said quickly as if he didn't have to think about it. Lizzy frowned up her face in way that made her look like a cute child. But she was going to find a way to get her way. She wanted to have fun and she was going to have that party no matter what.
"Why not?"
"Look at you Lizzy," he said pointing at her stomach. "Do you really think that you would be able to do much with the state that you are in?"
"Do you think that I would be able to do more at a party than I can do here at home with just you?"
"And what is that suppose to mean?"
"It means I can't do anything without you following me or telling me no. I can't even walk around in the garden without you saying something about it."
"Did you ever think that I was just-"
"Worried? Try overprotective. Just let me breath Ciel! I have been fine for a week now! Why don't you just let me do something to be able to enjoy myself? If you say that you care about me as much as you do, then show me."
Ciel was backed in a corner on the topic. Lizzy was right about how he was acting and there was no denying it. In his eyes he only thought that he was helping her when he was only treating her like a child. But, she is doing a lot better and, why not show that she was? He let out a long drag of a sigh and stood up from him desk. He slowly walked over to her and placed his hands softly on her face. He place a soft kiss her lips causing her to ease up and not being so any at him. When he pulled away from her, he placed his forehead on hers and smiled.
"In three days, we can have the party." he said softly to her.
She was so excited that she grabbed his face and gave him a deeper and more passionate kiss. She was so happy that they were going to have a party. She soon began to think of things to plan the party.
"This will be so much fun! We need ribbons and people to invite! And list of food to have! And decorations for the place! And-"
"Calm down Lizzy. Why don't you go and have some tea in the garden and I will start to make plans for the party."
Without saying a word, she smiled at him and gave his lips another light kiss and left with a smile on her face. Ciel found himself smiling as well. He was glad to see that he could do something this simple to make her happy.
"You never explained to me why he was here." Sebastian said to Grell while turning his attention to Claude.
He was not going to drop the fact that Claude was there witht htem and was not telling why he was there with them in the first place. He didn't show any knid of sings on why he was there and Sebastian was getting fed up with it. He didn't like surprises that much and just wanted Grell to come out a tell him.
Claude honestly didn't care about what was going on and what was going to happen to the people around him. He was just excited for the part that he was going to complete and there was nothing that was going to keep his attention from that. He was willing to keep quiet about it and not say a word about it and just let it happen when it happens.
"That is for me to know and for you to find out later." Grell simply replied in a teasing yet sing-song manner. He seemed to be acting like his old self after they met up with the Undertaker. Something about him seemed different not just from him acting different but there was something else that Sebastian couldn't get. Something about Grell and Claude seemed real suspicious to him. But he didn't think about it too much.
"So. What are we doing now?" Claude asked wanting to change the subject.
"We prepare for the finale phase while the second phase is still going on of course! There are some things that we need for it."
"Like what? And when is the second phase going to be over to start the next one?"
Grell turned on his heels happily and smiled at Sebastian. He was glad to see that he was asking a lot of questions, but now was the time to sit back, shut up and just pay attention to the things going on around them. Only then will they see what is really going on and how things are going to play out, that was the only way Grell was going to see if everything was working the way it should.
"Just wait Bassy. You're going to wish that you wouldn't have rushed to the end of this pretty soon."
"Umm...Lizzy, we need to talk about something."
Ciel walked into her room with a sad face and felt very disappointed in himself. He knew that he was about to break Lizzy's heart. Lizzy looked at him with a bright smile. She was always happy to see him no matter what, but she could tell that there was something on his mind. She was sitting up in bed reading a book and looked to be enjoying it. She put the book down on her nightstand so that she could give all of her attention to Ciel.
"What is it?" she asked softly.
He sat next to her in a nearby chair and didn't make eye contact with her. He thought she was going to be so heart-broken about what she was going to tell her.
"About the party…"he began. "Some things have come up at work and I don't think that we will be able to have one anytime soon." he admitted softly.
"Oh. That's good." she smiled to him.
"Good?" Ciel was so confused. He thought that she would almost break into tears and be really sad about the whole thing. Instead, she smiled and said that it was good? But with Lizzy, you have to get the whole story in order to understand her sometime.
"It would give us plenty to do a lot of planning for the party." she admitted to him.
"It would be another month or so before we able to have one. Would you be okay with that?"
"Of course, dear. That way I would be able to plan for it and everything. Things would be perfect."
Ciel kissed her forehead and smiled at her.
"You took this a lot better than I thought. I thought you would be sad about it."
She shook her head and smiled at him even brighter. Ciel always got a rush of happiness when he saw her smile. Her smile was the thing that kept him going and the thing that gave him hope on a lot of things. Her smile was also the reminder that he knew that he was going to have a family soon. Him, Lizz and his son. Because nothing as going to happen where they would ever be apart. Not even death.
"Damnit!"
The Undertaker slammed his fist down on the table as one of his spirtes reported back to him on Lizzy. Appaerntly there was something that was over looked that should not have been hard to miss. But for some reason, it was.
Lizzy was farther in her pregency than he and Grell were told.
Instead of five months along, she was seven in a half.
"This is not good, not good at all. Grell has about a month or so to complete the finale task, otherwise, she and the child will die."
Now things are starting to get more intense! Things are heating up with racing the clock!
