When Sebastian came home that evening, Ciel soon found that keeping their unborn baby a secret from Sebastian was one of the hardest things she had ever had to do.
Ciel discovered that it was easier if she just simply didn't say much.
Ciel was quiet through dinner.
Ciel was silent while they watched Netflix afterwards.
Sebastian raised a brow at Ciel's shyness, but he didn't push his mate.
Perhaps she wasn't feeling well?
In that case, it was Sebastian's duty as Ciel's alpha to care for the bluenette.
Sebastian saw to it that they went to bed early that evening. He carefully bathed Ciel and lovingly tucked her in with a glass of warm milk, holding her close.
Ciel fell asleep quickly but Sebastian laid awake, frowning in concern at his bride.
Hopefully Sebastian's precious kitten would feel better tomorrow.
—
The next morning, when Ciel woke, she saw that Sebastian had already risen and went to the office.
Ciel smirked to herself as she sat up in bed.
The bluenette had spent most of yesterday afternoon and evening coordinating Sebastian's birthday celebration down to the last detail.
Sebastian was normally the one who did the planning, but…..
Ciel smiled down at her flat belly.
The small omega was fairly confident that her alpha would be pleased with what she had in store~.
—
Nearly every employee of Michaelis Industries had already wished Sebastian a happy birthday by nine o' clock that morning.
Email after email arrived…..
Text message after text message….
Sebastian watched the hours of the day tick by at work, planning on leaving early to get home to Ciel.
Sebastian purred, thinking of Ciel.
Sebastian could care less what Ciel got him or what she did for his birthday.
Maybe a card.
Or a cake?
It didn't really matter.
All Sebastian wanted for his birthday was the same gift he got to enjoy everyday, his precious kitten, his little Ciel~.
Being Ciel's alpha was the best present in the world.
Priceless.
Later in the day, as Sebastian left his office and drove home, he purred softly to himself imagining Ciel waiting for him at home with a smile.
That would be enough.
As Sebastian's Lamborghini pulled into his custom designed garage, Sebastian smiled to himself and stepped out of the car.
A hug from kitten~.
That's all he wanted.
Well…maybe a hug and a little…..more~.
—
Inside Sebastian's large gourmet kitchen, Ciel scowled to herself as she put on some mitts and quickly retrieved the cake from the oven.
Cautiously, she dared to pull the cake off the oven rack….
Ciel sighed in relief as she looked it over.
Wonderful!
This one hadn't burned.
Ciel sat it on the counter to cool and smoothed out her apron.
She had planned to make Sebastian dinner and a cake for his birthday, then she would give him the happy news of her pregnancy as his gift.
So far, baking and attempting to cook had taken all day.
This was her fourth attempt at making a cake.
The other three had been scorched beyond recognition, let alone any sense of edibility.
Preparing an entire meal had also proved too great a task for the omega.
Ciel had already called her driver several times that day. They had made trip after trip to and from the store, buying and rebuying groceries, as Ciel ruined one meal after another.
Eventually, the bluenette had grown so disgusted hat she had given up and placed an order for a special home delivery from a very exclusive, chic restaurant uptown.
Ciel pouted as she looked down at the small cake she managed to salvage from a day of botched attempts.
It wasn't her fault….
Omegas had to be nurturing and satisfying.
Nobody ever said they had to cook…
Ciel blinked when she heard Sebastian's footsteps on the stairs that led to the garage.
The bluenette's sapphire eyes widened as she heard the door knob turn.
"Kitten~, I'm home~." Sebastian's low, velvet voice announced warmly.
Ciel looked around frantically.
Oh dear, dear, dear…..
Oh no, no, no!
Ciel was still in her baking clothes, the kitchen was a wreck, the cake wasn't iced, the table wasn't set…
Why did Sebastian have to come home early?!
—
"Kitten?" Sebastian called again as he walked through the door.
There in the kitchen, Sebastian's eyes lit up as he saw Ciel standing in a mess of flour, salt, sugar, and butter, blinking at him in surprise, with her apron tied around her.
Didn't his darling omega look cute?!
Sebastian licked his lips.
He could just eat Ciel up right there~.
"Sebastian…..I ...I wasn't expecting you home so soon." The bluenette said sheepishly as her lips pursed into a pout.
Sebastian grinned at the scene in front of him. "My, my~, aren't you adorable~?"
The alpha let out a low purr as he walked over to his omega.
Ciel blushed and quickly stood in front of her cake.
Sebastian raised an eyebrow and playfully tried to see around Ciel, wanting to know what she was blocking.
As short and as small as Ciel was, she could be quite tenacious.
The bluenette dodged this way and that, determined to protect the cake she had worked so hard to bake.
"Kitten, what are you hiding?" Sebastian asked in amusement.
"Please, Sebastian, just give me a little while, will you? Go relax for a bit and I'll call you when everything's ready. I wanted things to be special for your birthday." Ciel begged with a frown.
"Things are always special when I'm with you~." Sebastian replied. "I can't leave you to clean this up by yourself, let me help you, kitten."
"No, that's alright." Ciel said with a quick wave of her hand.
Behind herself, the bluenette hurriedly pulled some paper towels over the cake as Sebastian drew closer to her with his eyes narrowed.
Ciel looked up at Sebastian when he lifted her chin up.
With a purr, Sebastian began to nuzzle his omega.
"Sebastian?" Ciel asked, drawing in a breath sharply when he nibbled her neck gently.
"Something's not right." Sebastian said very suspiciously as he pulled away.
"What do you mean?" Ciel frowned.
"You….smell different…..somehow. Taste different…..not bad of course~. But different…..do you feel alright?" Sebastian asked, scooping Ciel up to carry her up the stairs.
"Sebastian!" Ciel flailed in protest.
The mess!
The kitchen!
The cake!
"I'm fine! Put me down! I've got work to do!" Ciel cried.
"You're a mated omega and I'm your alpha, I am your work to do~." Sebastian chuckled. "You were terribly quiet last night, something's wrong…...I'll call the maid to clean the kitchen, never fear. I think we need a bubble bath."
"A bubble bath?!" Ciel gasped.
No! This wasn't what she had planned!
"Sebastian please! I've worked very hard on this! I have things to do!" Ciel gasped, struggling.
It was no use.
Sebastian held her tight.
"Oh?" Sebastian asked cooly. "Well, if you insist, then you can do them after the kitchen has been cleaned and the water gets cool."
They made it to the bedroom and Sebastian gently sat Ciel down on the bed.
Ciel scowled in irritation and crossed her arms.
"Kitten~," Sebastian whispered, spreading his hands out on either side of Ciel and leaning down so they were face to face.
Ciel's sapphire eyes flickered over to Sebastian's face.
"It is my birthday after all, and what I want to do right now, more than anything in the world, is just spend time with you." Sebastian cooed.
Ciel's frown softened a bit at Sebastian's words.
Sebastian was happy to see it and kissed her lips sweetly before he walked into the bathroom.
Ciel sighed as she heard Sebastian turn the water on in the large, marble, claw foot tub.
Well, the cake had to cool, anyway, right?
—
Sebastian texted the cleaning lady before he stripped himself and Ciel. While they sat in the warm bath, Ciel heard the front door open and the maid enter the house.
"I could've cleaned it up." Ciel pouted, sitting on Sebastian's bare lap in the tub as Sebastian traced little patterns on her skin with his finger.
Soft, fluffy bubbles surrounded them and Sebastian purred softly at Ciel.
He brought his hand up to cup her cheek before he leaned in and gave Ciel a deep kiss.
Ciel whimpered softly and happily kissed Sebastian back.
Sebastian shifted Ciel on his lap, pressing his very obvious arousal against her bottom cheek as he started to nip on her ear.
Ciel's cheeks turned pink as Sebastian's hands ran over her body.
Should Ciel forget dinner and tell him now?
Before they made love?
Ciel thought it would be better to tell Sebastian at the end of the entire evening, when they were lying in bed, kissing and cuddling….
But….
"I love you, my kitten~." Sebastian whispered heatedly into Ciel's ear as his roaming hands squeezed the soft flesh of her hips.
Ciel's heart beat rapidly with excitement and anticipation.
Sebastian was such a good lover…
How extra attentive he would be after he found out!
Ciel whined in his arms, already starting to writhe. "I ...Ah~...love you too, Sebastian, I've got something very—-"
"MR. MICHAELIS!" A voice called from downstairs.
Sebastian stopped and Ciel fell silent.
Alpha and omega both scowled for a second.
"Yes! What is it, Marie?!" Sebastian shouted through the bathroom door.
"DID YOU WANT ME TO CLEAN THE LIVING ROOM TOO? YOU DIDN'T SPECIFY IN THE TEXT!" The cleaning woman shouted.
She was just trying to keep the Michaelis's happy. Sebastian had been a loyal customer for years.
Of course, the poor woman had no idea…
"NO! THE KITCHEN IS ALL! THANK YOU!" Sebastian shouted with a deep frown.
What a bother it was to be interrupted from enjoying Ciel!
Once the cleaning lady left and the front door opened and closed, Sebastian let out a growl of irritation.
Sebastian instantly went to kiss Ciel and she opened her mouth to speak…
But her stomach growled and interrupted them both.
Ciel blushed as Sebastian glanced down.
Sebastian chuckled. "Oh dear, kitten, I'm sorry. I didn't realize you were hungry already~. It's not like you to want dinner this early."
Ciel's eyes widened and she clamped a hand over her flat stomach, as if Sebastian gazing at her belly would reveal her surprise.
"Yes ...I ...I'm sorry, Sebastian. After dinner, perhaps?" Ciel said quickly.
"Of course, my darling~." Sebastian purred once more, nuzzling into her as he stood and began to dry them both off.
Sebastian looked forward to eating a good meal and making love to Ciel.
His birthday wishes were fairly simple.
Ciel looked forward to giving Sebastian his gift.
She had been waiting for much more than a day to deliver that kind of news.
A short while later, Sebastian and Ciel looked at each other with a deep, intently passionate glance as they sat down and ate the fine food that Ciel had specially delivered.
Neither of them could hardly wait until…
After dinner~.
