I want another baby.
I want another baby.
Sebastian's words echoed over and over in Ciel's mind as Friday crept Cieloser and Cieloser.
Sebastian's statement kept Ciel awake at night,
It distracted her during the day.
Mina often frowned at her mother, seeing the look on Ciel's face and wondering what was wrong.
Ciel just picked Minaup and bounced her gently whenever the baby made an inquisitive noise.
Ciel became disengaged.
This was going to be the worst Valentine's day ever.
Ciel didn't want another child, at least, not at the moment.
But Sebastian loved her so much and he was such a kind, protective alpha, how would Ciel deCieline without hurting his feelings?
How could Ciel deCieline?!
Obeying her alpha and bearing children for him were Ciel's obligations as Sebastian's omega.
Ciel sighed to herself on Thursday night while she laid down for bed.
Uncharacteristically, Ciel had left Sebastian up by himself and gotten herself ready for the night.
Sebastian finished up his last bit of work and came to bed, showering quickly and laying down beside Ciel.
"I know you're awake, kitten. I watched you look at me while I walked by." Sebastian said shrewdly while Ciel pretended to be asleep.
With a pout, Ciel opened her eyes and looked at her husband.
"It's not like you to want to be alone in the dark, what's the matter? Are you not feeling well?" Sebastian asked with a concerned frown.
Ciel tried to ignore the masculine, fresh scent that wafted off of Sebastian's freshly showered skin, willing herself not to become putty in his hands while he gathered her into his smooth, strong arms.
"No, I feel fine, I'm just…..exhausted." Ciel said with another sigh.
It was true.
Ciel was mentally overworked, having worried herself into a frenzy for the last few days while caring for Mina.
"Mmm, let me help, kitten~. Would you like a massage~?" Sebastian purred solicitously, splaying his large, soft hands on Ciel's skin and starting to knead expertly.
"No, no! That's fine! I'm fine!" Ciel said quickly, scrambling out of Sebastian's arms and moving to the other side of the vast bed she shared with her alpha.
Ciel didn't want to make love to Sebastian because she didn't want to have that conversation right then…..
Sebastian propped himself up on one arm and stared at Ciel. "What's up with you? You've been acting odd for days."
"I…" Ciel began, her voice trailing off before she could find the words.
Not wanting to crowd his omega or make her feel threatened, Sebastian moved Cieloser and looked at Ciel with a sympathetic frown but was careful not to touch her. "Kitten, what is it…? You can tell me anything, I'm your mate."
Ciel looked up thoughtfully into Sebastian's eyes.
She really was a lucky omega….
Devastatingly handsome, unbelievably wealthy, and infinitely caring, there were omegas who would murder each other to spend even a day with Sebastian as their alpha.
Sebastian had picked Ciel up out of the gutter, he had Cieleaned her off, he had seen her value, he had given her a home, and a love that most people only dreamed about.
Sebastian had been by Ciel's side when she was sick, he had held her hand while their daughter was born, and he worked every day and every night to provide Ciel and their daughter with a fairytale lifestyle.
And all Sebastian had asked of Ciel in return was to love him and give him a family….
Ciel put a hand to her head.
She couldn't say it.
She didn't have the nerve.
"Can we just go to sleep tonight?" Ciel asked quietly.
Sebastian was saddened that Ciel chose not to confide in him but he frowned and nodded. "Of course, kitten. May I hold you, at least?"
Ciel nodded and curled up on his chest.
As they drifted off, Sebastian squeezed Ciel a little tighter with a deep frown.
Was it something he had said?

The morning of Valentine's Day arrived and Ciel found herself sitting beside of Tibby, waiting on Sebastian and Mina to return.
The bluentte's eyes were wide with worry as she sipped her earl grey tea.
Sebastian had taken their daughter to the animal shelter to adopt a bunny, following Ciel's wishes.
Soon, father and daughter would return home with Mina's first pet.
That was all well and good, but Ciel knew that the evening was unavoidable.
The time would come and Sebastian would take her out and try to seduce her with his sexy smile and his sultry voice….
And then Ciel's heat would overcome over her and she would be useless at resisting her alpha's charms…..
Ciel hadn't found the courage to say anything to Sebastian that morning.
A thoughtful pout formed on Ciel's lips.
Perhaps dreading things was a waste of time.
Besides, if Sebastian wanted another baby, then so what?
It's not like Ciel had anything better to do, she didn't have to work.
Ciel could care for two children, Mina wasn't a difficult child.
Tibby flicked her tail while she watched Ciel think in silence for a while.
Ciel's mind was still spinning furiously when the door opened a couple of hours later and Sebastian walked through it, holding Mina in his left arm and a cage in the other.
"You're back." Ciel said, looking up and watching her alpha walk into the room with their daughter
"We're back." Sebastian replied with a smile as he walked over and set the cage down on the kitchen floor.
Sebastian then gently set Mina down a short distance in front of the grated enclosure.
Ciel couldn't see inside the cage, but Mina waved her short arms happily and made a gleeful little squealing noise when Sebastian bent to open the cage door.
"I take it that you found what you were looking for, then?" Ciel asked.
Ciel expected Sebastian to smile as happily as Mina, but his face honestly looked a little concerned as he gave Ciel a curt nod and replied, "we did…...Yes."
"Rabbie!" Mina squealed.
Sebastian chuckled and finally swung the cage door open.
Ciel crossed her arms and waited for the animal inside to emerge.
The bluenette was a little excited herself to have an adorable baby bunny, a small ball of fluff with eyes.
Wouldn't that be rather adorable wandering around the house?
In fact, Ciel was also hoping that the needs of a baby animal may temporarily distract Sebastian from his desire to have another baby person in the house.
Perhaps…...
Ciel watched anxiously as the cage rocked to and fro while the rabbit inside shuffled around.
It was a lot of noise for a small bunny to make…
The bluenette's eyes widened as the animal made its way out out of the cage and onto the marble kitchen floor.
"What on earth is that?" Ciel asked Sebastian in horror.
It was not a cute, fuzzy bunny that stepped out of the cage.
No, the rabbit that came forward was huge.
It was easily the size of a small dog.
The rabbit's head was as big as Mina's and it probably weighed close to twenty pounds!
The rabbit's heavy paws thudded on the floor as it took a few menacing steps. It's coat was an ashy gray color, with small bits of fur that were black on its paws and underbelly.
And it's face….
"What is that, Sebastian?!" Ciel squeaked again, snatching Mina up from the floor, fearing she would be hurt.
The rabbit's face was twisted in a horrible scowl and it was missing one eye. The ominous-looking animal looked at Ciel as if it was going to eat her and the bluenette gasped in terror.
Unlike her mother, Mina showed no qualms.
"Rabbie!" Mina cried, struggling in Ciel's arms while she reached for the animal.
"It's a rabbit, kitten." Sebastian said calmly.
Ciel looked at Sebastian in anger and disbelief. "That is the ugliest rabbit I have ever seen! Get that out of this house! It's going to hurt our baby! Take it back to the shelter and find our daughter a proper rabbit!"
"RABBIE!" Mina screamed, starting to fuss and flail her limbs, wanting Ciel to put her down.
"It is a proper rabbit." Sebastian explained. "The shelter workers assured me it wasn't dangerous and anyway, it's too late now. I'm afraid that Mina and her new companion are already bonded." Sebastian replied.
Ciel looked at Sebastian with an irritated look of disbelief.
Sebastian nodded at Ciel and when Mina started to kick her in the ribs, the bluenette cautiously sat her baby girl on the floor.
Mina was still crying.
Ciel tensed herself as she watched the rabbit moved towards her baby.
Most bunnies hopped, but this huge, scarred rabbit lurched.
The rabbit came right up to Mina's face.
Ciel was certain the rabbit would bite as Mina flung her arms around the bunny's thick neck in the clumsy way that small children do and cried with a happy smile, "Rabbie!"
Ciel anxiously prepared to grab Mina out of harm's way, but to Ciel's surprise, the burly animal tolerated the baby's hug.
Although the mean scowl remained on its face, the rabbit even went so far as to drape an ear over Mina's shoulder, as if it were trying to hug back in its own way.
Ciel watched incredulously as Mina and the huge rabbit both embraced with closed eyes, as if they were old friends reunited.
"It walked right up to her and laid down." Sebastian explained. "They're quite fond of each other. Please, kitten, let her keep him."
"It's a male rabbit?" Ciel asked.
Sebastian nodded. "Yes, and Mina's already given him a name."
Ciel raised an eyebrow until Mina squealed again, "Rabbie!"
Sebastian laughed but Ciel sighed to herself. "I was hoping for a baby, Sebastian, not a giant."
So much for distracting her alpha…...
"Don't worry, kitten~." Sebastian purred as he stood and walked to stand behind Ciel while Mina played with her new best friend.
Ciel's eyes widened as Sebastian nibbled lasciviously on her earlobe, sending delicious shivers down her spine while he whispered, "There'll be a new baby in the house soon enough~."
