Grell turned over as she awoke to see her husband sleeping beside her. She smiled stroking the hair out of his face. She had forgotten that sleep was a luxury for him.

"So handsome." she whispered.

"Aren't I always?"

His eyes opened slowly wrapping his arms around her waist. He kissed along her jaw leading to her lips.

"This is a good morning~" She pecked his lips more climbing on top of him.

"You couldn't get enough of me last night?" He chuckled giving her a playful spank.

She lowered her head kissing him deeply. "I'm not trying to start a damn thing. I just want to enjoy having you here."

He nuzzled her neck pressing their bodies together. "We should try for another..."

She lifted her head looking at him with hurt. "I don't know Bassy... I don't think I can handle it again..."

In his absence, he had forgotten all about their past pain. After Ursus was born, they had tried for others. Four different attempts had all lead to miscarriages and a single stillborn.

It hit him suddenly of their past attempts. "Grell..." He cradled her kissing her lips softly. "I'm sorry..."

She held onto with the wound still so fresh on her heart. The stillborn was supposed to be their second son. She nuzzled his neck feeling a little bit more calm.

Sebastian caressed her back hearing her forced breathing. "Don't you think you no longer need to pretend? You don't breathe."

"Sorry...force of habit." she whispered.

"It's fine."

"Bassy, darling?"

"Yes?"

She lifted her head kissing his lips. "I want to try again...just...just be careful."

He gave a very faint smile kissing her deeply. "We'll try when we're good and ready. Tonight, perhaps?"

Venita tossed on her bed trying to be comfortable on her old mattress. She hated how much her mind was running on thoughts of her academic status. Somewhat like her older half-brother, she had to be ahead of her class.

Adorlee was fast asleep with the carelessness she'd always had. The mess of red hair sticking out from her blankets.

'I can't stay in bed all morning.' thought Venita tossing the blankets off. She got up, making her bed quickly. She quietly got her things heading for the bathroom to get ready for the day.

After a soothing bath, she opened to door to find her twin staring back at her with wide eyes.

She clutched her chest glaring at her. "You stupid tart!" she tried to whisper. "Don't scare people like that!"

Adorlee flashed her pearly teeth fluttering her eyes lashes. "What are you talking about? I just wanted to see why you left me all alone..."

Venita sighed patting the top of her sister's head. "I'm sorry. You were sleeping and I couldn't stay in bed all day. Why don't you take a bath and join me downstairs? We can make breakfast for everyone."

"Do we have to?"

"Yes. It's the least we can do for mum and father."

"Why don't you just call him Daddy?"

The brunette sighed rubbing her temple. "I don't have the same relationship you do." she said between sighs. "You're his princess. I'm his daughter."

"No." The redhead puffed up crossing her arms. "We're both his princesses. Hell spawn, if you will."

"Stop. I hate the puns."

She giggled hugging onto her. "I love you, Vivi. Let's hope you can see Daddy as such one day." She let go booping her nose before walking into the bathroom.

"Don't take too long."

Venita went into the kitchen finding her Grandfather already up setting the kettle onto the stove. "Oh... I didn't know anyone was up."

"I'm always up dear. Never let my age fool you into believing that I sleep all day." He extended his arms open for her. "Can I get a good morning hug?"

She sighed breaking into a smile as she hugged him tightly. He rocked her in his arms chuckling. "There's my little Venus. You need to smile more my love."

"Grandfather..."

He frowned keeping her in his arms. "Why don't you ever call me Papa like you used to? I think being around William has made you too hard."

She sighed looking at him. "You don't think it's childish for an adult to call you Papa?"

"Nonsense my dear. Absolute nonsense. You can call my Papa as long as you'd like."

She smiled a little letting him go. "I'll watch the kettle. I have to start preparing breakfast." She rolled up her sleeves taking out the pans she would need.

"I can help. What do you plan to make?"

"I was going to have Adorlee help me. She's in the bath right now."

He chuckled leaning on the table. "That sounds like breakfast won't be done for a few hours."

She groaned knowing he was right. "I suppose you're right. Maybe you could help me...Papa..."

He sprang up pulling her into another hug. "That's my girl! Come on now, Venus. We'll make plenty for everyone."

After an hour of soaking, Adorlee finally came out of the room with her skin gaining goosebumps from the cold air. Her younger brother stood in front of the door. With his usual unamused expression.

"What's wrong little cub, wanted to join me I the tub?"

He moved passed her pushing her a bit with her elbow. "Why must you be so weird?" He shut the door behind him leaving her alone in the hall.

She huffed calling him a tart loud enough to hear through the door. She stormed off into her room getting her things together on her vanity.

She crossed her legs getting comfortable to begin her process of making herself up. She decided on a rose shaped braided bun. Something cute her mother would do for her when she was younger.

A knock came at the door with a familiar chuckle following it. Her grandfather smiled waving at her. "I thought you were supposed to help make breakfast?"

"I am. I just want my hair done. I'll do my makeup afterwards."

"No lovely. You've missed the making part. Now it's just the fixings." He kept his grin moving behind her to play with her bangs. "You are so like your mother..."

She sighed looking at him through the reflection. "Everyone says that. None of us are like Daddy. Ursus is a lot like you and Vivi is a lot like Willy."

"That is true...you're the most like him compared to the others. Demon traits are normally stronger but, in this case. It's not the same as if your mother was human." He chuckled covered her eyes with his hand. "Then again, these eyes aren't yours."

She closed her eyes feeling his hand move away. She slowly opened eyes as they became her natural red. She looked at herself feeling so much more relaxed.

He kissed the top of her head petting her. "Now, that's a beautiful young woman. You shouldn't be afraid to show it down here."

"Thanks. I sometimes feel bad for having them." She sighed looking at herself. "It's hard being different."

"Is it now? What made you think that?"

She held onto his arms chewing on her lips. "I feel like I could be more deadly than any reaper to exist."

The old man started laughing loudly with petting her head. "Oh... oh that's a good one. Sorry love but, you won't. Unless you plan to take me down?"

"You?"

He nodded still chucking. "Who else is there?"

She sighed getting out of her seat. "Thanks for the input. I guess I'll help Vivi and do my makeup later."

"Please be careful. I don't want you two grabbing knives and attacking each other."

She groaned running down the steps of her home. Venita was just taking the kettle off the stove before the whistle grew too loud.

The eldest sister looked up at her placing it on its stand in the middle of the table. "You sure took your sweet bloody time."

Adorlee placed her hands on her hips looking at her. "I told you I'd be out. I haven't even put on my face yet." She huffed grabbing hold of the plates setting up what she could.

"Both of you can be nice..."

Their grandfather stood by the table fixing his bangs. "You two can be nice enough for breakfast to go swimmingly, I'll take you both into town for something nice."

They both remained quiet going about making everything nice and presentable. He was smirking seeing them listening. "I'll be back. I have to wake up your parents or else, they'll never be up."

Venita stared at him unblinking. "Why would father ever require sleep?"

Adorlee nudged her giving an pout. "It's a luxury to sleep. Let Daddy have that much."

Undertaker left the young ladies alone heading for the master bedroom. He didn't bother to knock letting himself inside.

Sebastian looked up at him giving a confused look. "How may we be of service to you?"

Undertaker chuckled getting into bed with them. "Make room. I can't get comfortable otherwise." He nuzzled into their cuddle session making them both upset.

Grell nudged him hard right in his ribs. "No shoes on my new sheets."

Undertaker grunted having to shimmy back down to remove them. "Sounds to me like you're want to keep everything clean."

Sebastian glared at him sitting up. "I'm the one that made that rule. The children can at least obey that one."

"So grumpy."

Grell looked at her husband frowning. "I guess we have to deal with this for the rest of eternity?"

"Oh come now, it's not that bad. You both enjoy my company~"

The old reaper wrapped his arms around them both. His hands resting in their waists. He leaned over kissing the demon's neck. He quickly moved to the redhead nipping her throat.

Gell sighed closing her eyes. "That's not fair."

Sebastian chuckled looking at them. "Now, now. It's impolite to not share."

"It's rude to not share your wife?"

"And you don't find it rude to share your husband?"

She huffed having the kissing stop. Undertaker licked his lips letting his eyes gaze upon them both. "I was wondering about a little something."

"What is it?"

"Are you planning on any more ankle biters?"

Grell frowned looking at him. "I'm scared to but, I want more."

Undertaker grinned moving his hand to touch her lower abdomen. "Would there be a chance I can play around and give you some of my own?"
