Catherine's POV

A few days passed since Claude took Ciel away. In my brother's absence I was temporarily in charge of the manor. Sadie was absolutely furious that Claude had her precious mate and I promised her we would return Ciel where he belonged. The servants did their best to manage but I knew they were just as worried for Ciel as I was.

At the moment I was with Sebastian watching the Trancy estate from afar. Sebastian was angry and he managed to knock over some trees using his demonic power. A pissed off demon wasn't fun to be around so I kept my distance while Sebastian was fuming.

"Aw hell" I growled.

"My love what is it?" Sebastian asked seeing I was uncomfortable.

"I just need blood again" I reassured my beloved.

"I can take care of that" Sebastian promised before giving me a canteen. I kissed his cheek before taking the cork off and I consumed the human blood inside it. Esme seemed satisfied because she stopped moving around when I finished feeding.

"Claude is coming out no doubt he heard my tantrum" Sebastian said nodding around to the broken trees around us.

"I'm coming with you I want Claude to know Sadie is pissed off perhaps that might make him flinch"

Sebastian smirked evilly at my remark.

A short walk later Sebastian and I stood in the center of the Trancy garden by the fountain. Claude was approaching and I hissed. Sebastian placed an arm around my waist so I wouldn't lose control of myself.

"So you've come to see how my master is faring?" Claude asked while petting a bird. "He made it clear he doesn't want to see it"

"Shut your mouth!" I spat. "Don't you dare refer to my husband using that word!"

Claude looked to me before seeing my swollen belly.

"So you carry a daughter? No doubt she'll be a beauty"

That remark made Sebastian wrap his other arm around my middle. I turned to see my mate was absolutely furious that Claude said those words about our daughter.

"I have a message from Ciel's mate" I interrupted. Claude arched an eyebrow. "She warned you about not touching Ciel and now you've written your death warrant"

Claude didn't say anything but I knew my remark made him uneasy. Now on edge Claude took his leave without hesitation.

"Either Sadie kills him or I will" Sebastian hissed as he released his arms from being around me.

"You have my permission to do so I can't wait till that asshole is dead" I agreed.

"My, my, Little Dhampir this pregnancy is making you quite a bit bloodthirsty" Sebastian teased.

"It's the hormones" I pointed out. "And Claude's remark about Esme pissed me off"

Sebastian was about to say something else but he frowned behind me. I looked to see what he was looking at and I sweat dropped seeing it was Grell. The stupid reaper had a camera which apparently stopped working and the red haired reaper had his back turned on us.

Sebastian sighed before using his demonic strength to pick up a statue. Grell noticed and backed away in fear.

"My, my, when did you get here?!" Grell asked.

"Funny I was about to ask you the same" Sebastian responded. I closed my eyes as my husband used the statue to hit Grell and the reaper whined.

A Few Minutes Later.

"So Claude killed the little shit huh?"

"Yes pretty much" Grell confirmed. "Then he tried to fuse Alois and your brother's souls but that didn't happen but their memories can be overwritten"

The red head reaper then saw my baby bump and he got hearts in his eyes.

"Aw! Your finally showing! Do you know the gender yet?"

"It's a girl" I replied. "Sebastian was able to scent her hormone"

"Oh my! Well you have my congratulations"

Suddenly Claude's voice echoed from the manor below talking about Ciel's soul.

"Ignore that ass" I told my husband. "He's trying to mess with you"

Sebastian didn't say anything and Grell decided to keep his mouth shut.

Sebastian then looked to me and I nodded before turning to Grell.

"Hey wanna take some more photos of us?"

"Eh?!" Grell exclaimed making sure he heard right.

"You did come to take pictures of us right? Well what do you say?"

"Oh I'm in!" Grell replied with glee.

By sunset we came upon the ruins of an old village. We found a former prostitute and she explained to us how many years ago she helped a little boy. She had chased away some bullies and due to her kindness she said the boy would spare her. When she said the lad had been contracted with a demon my eyes went wide. But before she could say anything else Sebastian grabbed me into his arms as a bullet was shot into the woman's forehead.

Behind us were those damn triplets. After kissing my forehead Sebastian charged into battle and easily dodged being hit by the constant bullets being shot at him repeatedly. Grell got excited and I shook my head before following after the red head.

When we arrived at the sight where Sebastian was fighting Grell prepped his camera and began to take photos. I merely watched in amusement as the triplets got their rear's kicked. Sebastian then leapt into the air and a few minutes later he had the three brother's bound upside down in a tree.

"Your death scythe now Grell!" Sebastian shouted to the reaper next to me.

"What?! Surely you can finish them off by yourself" Grell protested.

I smacked Grell in the arm and he let out a girly whine. Sebastian then added.

"What a warm evening"

This made me and Grell look at him.

Sebastian had his shirt unbuttoned a little before he moved his gloved hand through his hair in a sexual manner. Immediately I held my nose getting a nosebleed and Grell did too. He started his chainsaw and leapt into the air above the triplets. Then the death scythe sliced through them activating their Cinematic Record. The record showed the fire that destroyed the village as well as Ciel helping Hannah to her feet.

This angered Sebastian again and it wasn't long until I was following behind him.

"Stop it Sebastian" I said at one point and I hugged my husband from behind. Sebastian was still and he was calming down due to my touch. "I know your angry but please don't let it control you, I need you at my side, our daughter needs you, if you die I wouldn't be able to deal with it"

Immediately Sebastian turned around and kissed me passionately. I blushed and my husband caressed my cheek while his tongue danced with mine. Eventually he pulled away so we both could catch a breath.

"I won't die like that Little Dhampir, now I believe someone is waiting for us"

By the time we arrived back at the Trancy estate it was nightfall. Sebastian knocked on the door before he rejoined me at our hiding spot. The front door opened revealing Claude.

"I'm not surprised to see you two here again"

"My master's orders were specific I am to stay out of his sight" Sebastian told Claude coolly.

Then Sebastian charged at Claude and punched him hard in the gut. The impact made Claude go flying backwards and he landed on the ground hard with a thud.

"Catherine go!" Sebastian shouted.

I ran through the front door and followed after Ciel's scent. I was successful in finding where my brother was being kept but Hannah blocked my path.

"I cannot allow you" she began.

But using my psychic ability I slammed her hard against the wall and rendered her unconscious.

"Shut the hell up" I growled at her unconscious form before I opened the door into the bedroom. On the bed fast asleep was Ciel and he was alright. But I felt Alois Trancy somehow within him. Using my vampire speed I picked up the sleeping Ciel into my arms before jumping out the window.

I landed easily on the ground and I caressed Ciel's face. Suddenly an unfamiliar source of power took over me. I realized this power was the ability to erase memories and it belonged to Esme. She was channeling her gift from inside the womb to help her uncle.

I felt Alois's presence fight back deep within Ciel's mind but my daughter was stronger and a human couldn't win against a child with demonic blood. Time seemed to stand still and eventually I no longer felt Alois's presence within my brother. Esme's gift ceased being used and I told my unborn child I was very proud of her.

Sebastian I have Ciel and he's back to normal I'll explain later I told my husband through the mate bond.

Good work my love Sebastian praised.

I smirked before I stood up and began to make my way off of the Trancy estate. Fifteen minutes later I met back up with Sebastian at the carriage we kept hidden.

"Esme has the ability to erase memories" I explained to my husband. "She was able to erase Alois's memories out of Ciel's mind before anything else could happen"

Sebastian smirked before he kissed my forehead and then helped me inside the carriage. He would drive back to the manor while I kept Ciel with me. Eventually the carriage began to move and Ciel remained in my lap as he slept. A half hour into the ride Ciel moaned and he opened his eyes.

"Catherine?" he asked.

"Hey kiddo how are you feeling?"

"My head hurts but other than that I'm fine"

Unable to control myself I pulled Ciel into a hug and tears went down my face.

"I was so worried about you"

Ciel buried his head underneath my chin.

"I knew you would come for me sister, damn I also need to apologize to Sebastian"

After our embrace Ciel decided to remain in my arms. Then at long last we were back home and Sebastian opened the door and he looked relieved to see Ciel was awake.

"Sebastian I owe you an apology" Ciel began as he stood up. "I'm sorry for casting you aside my memories were well quite clouded"

"There's nothing to forgive my young lord I quite understand" Sebastian answered with a bow.

"It was Esme who erased Alois's memories from your mind" I added and Ciel looked back at me.

"Are you certain?"

"I wouldn't lie kiddo she channeled her power through me to help you"

Ciel then smirked before placing a hand onto my middle.

"Thank you little one"

Esme gave a kick and it made Ciel chuckle. Sebastian pulled off his tailcoat and let Ciel wear it. I hopped out of the carriage next and Sebastian went to put the carriage back while Ciel and I went inside. The others would see Ciel tomorrow and Sadie would be sent word her mate was safe.

I led my brother to his room and I ended up putting him to bed. I kissed Ciel on the forehead before leaving him to sleep.

"Is he asleep already?" Sebastian asked as he approached me.

"Yes"

I then muttered my feet hurt so Sebastian picked me up bridal style. Due to today's events I was out like a light before Sebastian even arrived at our bedroom.

Sebastian's POV

I chuckled when my wife fell asleep in my arms. No doubt she was exhausted with what she went through today. I kissed her forehead and whispered in her ear.

"Your one hell of a woman Little Dhampir and I love you for it"
