The following morning, Sebastian opened his eyes and turned off his alarm as it announced the new day.
Ciel slumbered on and Sebastian laid there for a few moments, just admiring his beautiful omega.
A soft purr escaped Sebastian's throat as he watched Ciel pout in her sleep. Sebastian smiled as Ciel's long, black eyelashes fluttered.
The alpha's eyes narrowed as he thought back to the events that had unfolded over the past few days.
To think that someone had the nerve to try and hurt his wife….
With a soft groan, Sebastian rose and placed a feather light kiss on Ciel's forehead, leaving her to sleep while he quietly washed up and dressed for the day.
Sebastian grinned to himself as he pulled out of his garage in the early morning light, the rubber tires on his Lamborghini spinning over the glazed floor.
Today was going to be fun~.
—
Ciel woke later in the morning and ate a bowl of cereal while she watched Netflix.
Meanwhile, Sebastian sat at his desk working.
His fun could wait until lunch.
A knock came at the door and Sebastian looked up from his papers.
"Come in." Sebastian called cordially.
"Good morning, Mr. Michaelis. I brought the files you requested." Sebastian's assistant walked in and said, placing a folder with some business records on Sebastian's desk. The man adjusted his glasses while he added, "If I may say, sir, I'm terribly sorry. I heard about what happened on your honeymoon."
"I appreciate your concern." Sebastian said with a polite nod. "Fortunately, we were able to get my wife the help she needed in time. I'm going to deal with the source shortly."
Sebastian and his assistant exchanged a glance.
Sebastian watched his employee grow concerned when he realized that foul play had been involved with Ciel's recent health scare.
Sebastian Michaelis was a powerful man and a strong alpha, his assistant knew there was no way his boss would tolerate such nonsense.
"Shall I send someone in your place, sir?" Sebastian's assistant asked.
There wasn't anyone in the office suited for such a job, no, but Sebastian had enough money to hire the finest "help" that money could buy, be that an assassin, an arsonist, a thief….
"That won't be necessary." Sebastian smiled.
"Ah." His assistant said, opening the door, "Best of luck, then, sir. Do let me know if there's any way I can help."
"Thank you very much." Sebastian nodded again.
The man took his leave.
Sebastian unlocked his phone and smirked as he looked at the gps navigation showing him the short walk over to Coffins and Cures.
Sebastian spoke to himself as he said with a grin, "Some matters are best handled personally~."
—
Soon after, it was midday, and precisely at twelve noon, Sebastian stood from his desk.
He walked out of his office, down the hall, rode the elevator to the ground floor, and stepped out into the street.
Sebastian followed the directions on his phone and picked his way through the crowds of people bustling here and there, until he turned down a seedy alley.
Sebastian felt a surge of excitement as he looked around the rough-looking miscreants that he now rubbed shoulders with.
Dangerous…
Dirty….,
He must be getting close!
After Sebastian pushed his way through a slow moving pack of rather interesting characters and glared at one man in a leather vest who looked at him threateningly, Sebastian smirked as he saw the faded sign hanging over a small shop directly in front of him.
Coffins and Cures
Walking down the street, Sebastian approached the shop with narrowed eyes.
Ring, Ring
The doorbell rang out as Sebastian opened the door and entered the shop, announcing his presence.
From the back of the shop, the silver-haired man grinned greedily.
A new customer had arrived~.
Sebastian scowled as he looked around the dark, dingy shop.
He had a lot to teach Ciel.
This certainly didn't appear to be a trustworthy place to buy pharmaceuticals of any kind.
"Ah~! Good afternoon, sir! What can I help you find today? Got someone to help or someone to store? Hehehe!" The man with long, silver hair cackled as he appeared out of the shadows of the shop's back shelves.
The silver-haired man was the shop owner and he was the same man who had sold Ciel the dangerous pills.
Sebastian eyed him warily, his jaw clenching in disgust.
"Actually, I'm afraid I'm here to make a return." Sebastian said calmly, in his usual, smooth, velvety voice.
"Eh?" The silver-haired man asked in surprise. "A return? I don't believe we've ever had one of those here. Most of our customers can't complain! Hehehe!"
Sebastian slammed the bottle of pills down on a nearby counter.
The silver-haired man frowned and moved forward. He walked up to the counter and picked up the pill bottle, looking it over.
The label from his shop was plainly visible on the bottle.
"Did you or did you not sell these pills to a small omega a few weeks ago? She nearly died because of them." Sebastian asked dangerously, his eyes narrowed to slits.
The silver-haired man tried to play stupid. "Well…...it's possible! But I see so many 'small omegas' I can't definitely say—-"
In the middle of the silver-haired man trying to weasel his way out of taking responsibility, Sebastian charged at him and slammed him against the wall, gripping his throat.
The shop owner and Sebastian were about the same size in height and weight, normally the shop owner would have been a worthy opponent for Sebastian in a physical fight, but the alpha's rage gave him a distinct advantage.
Sebastian glared at the silver-haired man and his eyes widened at the pure malevolence in Sebastian's gaze.
How Sebastian would like to snap the silver-haired man's neck!
But he couldn't do that…
Ciel would never forgive him if she found out he had murdered someone.
No, as much as Sebastian hated it, the silver-haired man couldn't pay for his transgression with his life.
Sebastian accidentally spat on the silver-haired man as he hissed out his words. "You are to leave this shop, leave London, and go somewhere far away. Do you understand? My men will be watching you wherever you go, wherever you run, and if we ever see you selling anything like these," Sebastian tapped the pill bottle, "again, we will not hesitate to let you try one of your own coffins. Is that understood?"
The silver-haired man's eyes were wide with terror, all of his usual mirth gone, and he gave a quick nod.
This alpha, whoever he was, was serious.
"Yes, sir." Undertaker managed to gasp out, nodding furiously as Sebastian squeezed the silver-haired man's throat tighter, threatening to strangle him in his own shop.
With a growl, Sebastian released the silver-haired man and looked at him as if he were a cockroach as he fell to the floor coughing and spluttering.
Sebastian walked towards the shop door and stopped before he opened it.
The shop owner was still on the ground, catching his breath as Sebastian turned to look at him.
"I told you to leave this place." Sebastian growled.
Reaching in his pocket, Sebastian took out a match, lit it, and dropped it directly onto a large bushel of very flammable dried herbs.
The blaze almost instantly ignited and spread across the wood countertops, making its way quickly along the shelves, heading straight for the wooden coffin models in the back.
In a matter of minutes, the entire shop would be consumed.
If Sebastian couldn't kill the silver-haired man, at least he could make sure that no one else was harmed by the shop's shoddy products.
"Better get moving." Sebastian smirked at the silver-haired man who managed to find his breath.
Sebastian chuckled as he watched the shop owner's eyes widen in horror at the fire around him.
Of course, the silver-haired man had plenty of time to escape with his life, but unfortunately, everything in his shop would be lost and he would be reduced to nothing.
"My shop! My shop!" Sebastian heard the silver-haired man cry desperately as he opened the door and left.
Sebastian walked out into the street with a bright smile.
The anguished screams of despair from the man that had almost killed Ciel were music to Sebastian's ears~.
—
Ciel had no idea that Sebastian had chased the silver-haired man and his questionable shop away from London.
Sebastian wouldn't have lied if Ciel had asked him about it, but he wasn't going to volunteer the information either.
It wasn't a big deal, really.
It was simply an errand that needed to be completed.
Once it was over and Ciel was completely recuperated, Sebastian and his bride could finally settle into their new lives together.
They found that being married isn't all that different, it just made their love stronger and their bond closer.
Ciel tended the house and Sebastian went to work.
Whenever Ciel wanted to go somewhere, Sebastian took her, whether it was to the store for groceries or to Morocco for mint tea.
Sebastian doted on his little omega, surprising her with gifts, covering her with kisses, and making sure that she was always happy and comfortable.
Ciel returned her alpha's affection, even though she could be very cold, the icy bluenette was actually quite loving and sweet to her alpha.
For her alpha~.
Only for Sebastian, though.
After the nightmarish ordeal from their honeymoon, Sebastian never brought up children anymore with Ciel.
Ciel didn't mention it either.
They simply ignored the matter and took Ciel's heats and passionate mornings and evenings as they came, without worry.
It was best to focus on each other.
Weeks turned into months and Sebastian and Ciel spent the holidays together.
They traveled together.
They slept together.
They ate together.
They lived together.
They loved together.
Ciel still had her driver during the hours that Sebastian was at work.
The day before Sebastian's birthday, Ciel sat in the doctor's office, completing her yearly physical so she could have a refill on her allergy medications.
They had already went through the questions, physical exam, blood work, urinalysis, and Pap smear. Ciel was just waiting on the doctor to come back in and release her once he sent her medication refills to the pharmacy.
The door opened and the doctor came in with a big smile.
Ciel blinked at him curiously.
He seemed quite happy about allergy medication.
"Mrs. Michaelis, I'll still send the refills if you'd like me to, your medications seem to be safe to continue taking, but you may consider stopping them for the time being." The doctor said with a smile.
Ciel had horrible allergies. She needed to take her nasal sprays and her antihistamines or she wouldn't be able to breathe.
Much less live with Tibby, Sebastian's cat….
"Why would I consider stopping my medications?" Ciel blinked.
"The results from your blood work and urine culture show that you're pregnant, Mrs. Michaelis. Congratulations!" The doctor said with a bright smile.
Ciel's eyes widened in absolute shock.
The bluenette swallowed hard.
Sebastian and her had done nothing to prevent that, of course not, they both wanted it, but they had also both nearly forgotten about it, honestly.
They had been too wrapped up in each other.
Ciel found herself feeling anxious for some reason. Her palms started to sweat and her heart began to race.
"I…..I'm what?" Ciel asked meekly, stunned.
The doctor began to speak but Ciel couldn't hear him over the noise of her own reeling mind.
Pregnant?
Oh, how proud Sebastian was going to be!
How thrilled!
Ciel had planned on baking her husband a cake, yes. However, she could think of no better birthday present to give her beloved Sebastian than the happy news!
But…...how to give it?
How was Ciel going to tell her alpha?!
