It was no easy task for Sebastian's assistant to safely pull Sebastian away from the door and momentarily separate him from Ciel.

Baby Mina was still wailing in Ciel's arms and Sebastian's assistant found the child clutched tightly by the terrified omega.

Sebastian was ashamed of himself, but at the same time, he simply couldn't stop.

Sebastian's assistant knew who was on their way to Michaelis manor…...

Sebastian did not.

To keep the peace until the guests arrived, Sebastian's assistant urged Ciel to pump what milk she could and store it in the refrigerator.

The bluenette did as she was asked while Sebastian's assistant kept Sebastian busy.

Once Sebastian was presented with a bottle of Ciel's milk, Sebastian had growled in displeasure that it wasn't coming directly from his mate, but he took it grudgingly and sipped it.

It was like flipping a light switch.

Sebastian immediately recovered himself and cleared his throat, looking ashamedly at the deep scratches he had carved into the wood of the door.

"A sip every couple of hours should hold him. It won't be long. Help is on the way." Sebastian's assistant told Ciel.

Ciel nodded, looking at the man with baby Mina still securely in her arms. "Thank you very much. I won't allow Sebastian to fire you, you have my word."

"That would be much appreciated." Sebastian's assistant nodded, giving Ciel a small smile as he took his leave.

Ciel walked back into the bedroom where Sebastian was sitting.

Sebastian frowned guiltily at Ciel.

Ciel scowled at her alpha. "Are you quite proud of yourself, then?"

"Kitten, I'm sorry….." Sebastian whimpered like a puppy.

Sebastian could almost taste the hormones from Ciel's milk on his tongue…

Sebastian could taste his mate and that was what made it so addicting.

"A sip every few hours, just enough to hold you over. Someone's coming to help us so we can break this properly." Ciel informed Sebastian, bouncing Mina when she started to fuss again.

"Who's coming to help us?" Sebastian asked with narrowed eyes.

"I don't know who's coming to help us, Sebastian, I only know that they are coming. That's what your assistant just said." Ciel explained with an irritated sigh as Mina began to cry in angry, irritated bursts again.

"WWWWAAA!"

"WWWWAAAA!"

"Kitten…" Sebastian began pleadingly.

Sebastian held out his arms to take his wailing daughter, but Ciel turned away from him.

"No. After the way you've acted, I want this…..this addiction completely resolved before you touch our baby again. I don't trust you, right now. What are you going to do? Drop her on the floor so you can pin me down?" Ciel huffed.

"WWWAAA!"

Sebastian's frown deepened.

As much as Ciel's words hurt, Sebastian knew she was right.

To be truthful, Sebastian didn't know exactly what he would do in his current state and he was becoming a bit afraid of himself…..

"That's fair, kitten. May I at least sit here and just be close to you two?" Sebastian asked politely.

"That's fine." Ciel nodded, finally getting Mina to settle as she swayed back and forth with the baby.

Things had calmed down, for the moment…

Ciel didn't care who was coming, she just hoped that whoever it was, they arrived quickly.

The sooner the calvary came, the sooner Ciel would have Sebastian back.

The omega was a tired new mother.

Ciel needed her alpha.

Ciel needed her mate.

Ciel needed Sebastian.

Sebastian slept in a guest bedroom that night and Ciel slept in their room with Mina.

The bluenette was nervous about being too close to Sebastian at the moment.

When was their help going to arrive?!

Several hours later, in the early morning, Mina was sleeping in her bassinet and Ciel padded down to the living room to watch tv for awhile.

Sebastian had tried to keep his distance from her and the baby, but he couldn't stay away for long…..

Ciel turned her head when a gentle purr came from behind her.

Sebastian walked up and sat down beside Ciel, carefully pulling his little omega into his lap.

"Sebastian," Ciel said, clearing her throat. "You're not supposed to be this close….."

"I feel better, kitten." Sebastian purred, slipping his hands to hold Ciel's hips gently. "Don't you miss me?"

Sebastian's voice was low, seductive, and comforting as he kissed Ciel's cheek, along her ear, down her jawline…...

Ciel certainly wasn't in the mood or physically able to give herself to her alpha, but that didn't mean that it didn't feel lovely to have Sebastian gently brushing her sides with his large, warm hands.

"Of course I miss you." Ciel murmured.

"I just want to be close to you, kitten~." Sebastian purred.

He smirked as Ciel laid her head back against his shoulder trustingly and closed her eyes.

The omega was vulnerable and ripe for the taking…..

Sebastian trailed his hands up from Ciel's hips, over her sides, and spread his fingers to grab her breasts and take what he wanted just when…

Ding, dong

Sebastian's chance passed.

"What was that?" Ciel asked, sitting up instantly and crawling out of Sebastian's reach.

Sebastian grit his teeth to keep from roaring in anger.

"I'm not sure. Let me look." Sebastian hissed quietly, pulling out his phone to check the camera at the front door.

"It's probably who we're waiting on, I'll get it." Ciel volunteered, standing and walking towards the door before Sebastian had a chance to protest.

Sebastian saw who was at the door and his mouth fell open.

Sebastian's eyes widened in horror and his skin paled…

For a moment, Sebastian's mouth moved but no words came out, so profound was his terror.

No, by the time Sebastian recovered his senses enough to form words, Ciel's hand was already turning the door knob.

Sebastian cried out, desperate to stop his mate from making a terrible mistake, "Kitten, no! No! Stop! If you've ever loved me at all! Don't open that door!"

Ciel turned around and scowled at Sebastian.

The bluenette assumed that her alpha was just upset that someone had come to break his addiction to her milk.

"This has to stop, Sebastian." Ciel said firmly.

Then, without further hesitation, Ciel turned back towards the door and swung it open.

On the front step of Sebastian's vast estate stood Evelyn and Sterling Michaelis.

Ciel blinked at the short, dark-haired man, and the tall, thin, blonde woman beside him.

Ciel had no idea who they were or how they knew Sebastian.

Sebastian's father, Sterling, spoke first, "Ah, Good morning, my dear. My name is Sterling Michaelis and this is my mate, Evelyn Michaelis. We're Sebastian's parents."

Ciel was stunned.

Sebastian's…...parents?

Sebastian had never mentioned his parents, his childhood, or even if his parents were alive or dead.

"Hello," Ciel said politely to both of them once she recovered herself, "I'm Ciel, Sebastian's wife."

At that admission, Sterling and Evelyn both exchanged a glance of surprise.

Ciel frowned.

Had Sebastian not even told his parents that he had gotten married?

Ciel wondered why that might be…

Was Sebastian ashamed of her?

Was Sebastian ashamed of how they met?

Why had he never invited—

"Well, then, it's a pleasure to meet you, my dear." Sebastian's father nodded at Ciel with a genuine, happy smile, interrupting her thoughts.

Ciel smiled in spite of herself.

Now that she had a good look at them, this was almost comical.

Sebastian's parents didn't look anything like Ciel would have expected.

Not that she had ever given it much thought…

While Ciel stood talking to the new guests, Sebastian slunk up behind her, resigned to the fact that they would have to come in.

"Hello Mother, hello Father." Sebastian spoke with a frown, but Ciel heard the proud purr in Sebastian's voice as he placed a hand on her back and declared, "This is my mate, Ciel."

"We just met, son! She's absolutely lovely!" Sebastian's father pronounced with a happy chuckle. "May we come in?"

Regretfully, Sebastian stepped aside and let his parents enter his house.

Normally, Sebastian was very polite.

Sebastian was suave and had exceptional manners, so Ciel couldn't understand why he was being so rude to his own parents.

The bluenette was filled with hope.

Her daughter had grandparents!

They could come for birthdays and holidays, they could take family vacations together…

Ciel was especially excited about Sebastian's mother's presence.

Finally, there would be another omega to relate to, a mother figure that could share her experiences and bond with Ciel.

Through her pregnancy, Ciel had missed her own mother and often wished that she could have been there.

But Ciel's dreams of female bonding and a mother's guidance began to diminish when Evelyn stepped towards the small bluenette and bent down, looking her over.

Evelyn wasn't really looking at Ciel as much as she was scrutinizing Ciel.

"My, aren't you a puny little thing?" Evelyn asked Ciel after a moment with a haughty laugh, as if Ciel herself was a funny joke.

Evelyn swept passed Ciel and into the house, leaving the bluenette scowling at the doorway.

Hmm…..family vacations, eh?

Something told Ciel that these next forty-eight hours would be even harder than she had feared.
