Sebastian sat in morbid despair while he waited on the nurses to finish Ciel's procedure.

It felt like forever…

The CT scan had been quick but the MRI seemed to take a lifetime.

Just when Sebastian thought that he may be an old man before they returned Ciel, the hospital door opened and the nurses wheeled the bluenette inside.

The nurses left just as Sebastian rushed over to pull Ciel into his arms for a cuddle.

The small bluenette held onto her alpha as if she were begging him to defend her from the world, nuzzling into the crook of Sebastian's neck.

"It's alright, kitten." Sebastian cooed quietly. "It's alright. Whatever this is, we'll get through it together."

Ciel looked up at Sebastian with a pout.

Sebastian wanted to frown but he forced himself to smile reassuringly while he gently touched Ciel's cheek. "I'll be right by your side, my sweet kitten."

Ciel placed a hand over Sebastian's.

Before Ciel had a chance to process Sebastian's statement and respond, a sharp knock came on the door and the doctor returned, stepping into the room.

This time, the doctor's facial expression looked much better.

The physician's morose frown of dread had vanished and now, instead, he wore an almost giddy smile.

"I've just discussed the results of your MRI with the radiologist, Mrs. Michaelis." The doctor announced happily.

"And?" Sebastian and Ciel both asked in unison, even though the doctor spoke only to Ciel.

"It appears that the spot was indeed your earring. Nothing similar is visible on your MRI." The doctor nodded.

Ciel blinked, "But you said it was only on one side, I had earrings in both ears."

"Yes, well, it could have been the way the earring was positioned. The machine is very sensitive to metal. I apologize that my staff overlooked asking you to remove your jewelry. And I'm terribly sorry that they also overlooked our standard safety measures prior to conducting such a test." The doctor said quickly before he went on to what he really wanted to share with the couple. "However, due to their negligence, there is one surprising result from today's scan..."

"Oh?" Ciel asked while Sebastian listened silently.

"I noticed that your progesterone levels were very elevated in your blood sample, so I ordered further testing." The doctor explained while he turned the computer around to show Ciel and Sebastian Ciel's MRI results.

Ciel's eyes widened in disbelief.

Sebastian felt a rush of excitement as a bright smile spread across his face.

"The hormone increase is most likely to be the cause of your migraines and nausea." The doctor explained to the shocked couple. "Again, I do apologize for the errors of my staff, but the CT machine we use for head and neck scans is very low dose. I'm positive that no harm will come to the fetus."

There, on the computer, was the image that had resulted during Ciel's MRI.

In the lower part of her abdomen there was a very, very small figure….

Ciel didn't think it was possible.

She had gone through another menstrual cycle…...well, actually…no, it wasn't that long ago!

Sebastian was nearly delirious with joy.

"Congratulations to you both." The doctor nodded with a happy smile.

Finally, it seemed that a second child would be joining the Michaelis family.

—

The ride home from the hospital was a silent one.

Sebastian drove with a happy smile on his face even though it was still the middle of the night.

In contrast, Ciel had her arms crossed and the bluenette wore a scowl.

Ciel was…..annoyed, for some reason.

Ciel was annoyed with Sebastian over the circumstances and she was annoyed with herself for letting it happen.

Ciel was even annoyed with herself for being annoyed.

Sebastian's black lamborghini pulled into his polished garage and once he parked, he walked around to gently carry Ciel from the car into the house.

Sebastian noticed the scowl on his omega's face.

Ciel's scowl didn't stop Sebastian from smiling…

With a warm purr, Sebastian picked Ciel up out of the car and carried her to bed.

Once Sebastian made sure Ciel was comfortable, he crawled in beside her.

Normally, the bluenette omega curled up on her alpha, so Sebastian was a little surprised when she rolled away from him.

Shrugging it off, Sebastian spooned Ciel from behind and pulled her into his arms before he drifted off to sleep.

Ciel sighed to herself when Sebastian's hands spread over her flat abdomen.

Oh dear….

There was a part of Ciel that was beginning to think that another child wouldn't happen.

—

A week passed and Ciel's alpha knew that she was upset.

Unlike Sebastian, Ciel wasn't beaming with joy about the pregnancy.

Ciel was still annoyed and Sebastian's exuberance over the coming baby was wearing her patience even thinner.

Sebastian knew just what to do though.

The handsome, dominant alpha was extremely charismatic and his charms could persuade anyone to do practically anything…

Sebastian was certain that he could even convince his icy little omega to forgive him.

One evening, Sebastian came home early and wordlessly placed Ciel on the couch.

Sebastian put on Ciel's favorite movie for her to watch while he made dinner.

Mina sat on Ciel's lap quietly while the bluenette squinted at the tv.

Ciel's headaches hadn't eased much and that was certainly not helping to improve her attitude.

Sebastian prepared their meal and the little family ate dinner together.

Ciel took a little longer since she was feeding Mina spoonful by spoonful.

Once dinner was finished though, Ciel put Mina down to sleep and at Sebastian's gentle urging, she followed him to their bedroom.

Sebastian sat down on the bed and patted his lap, silently asking Ciel to come over.

"I don't want that tonight." The omega said flatly.

"I'm not asking for that, kitten, I just want to talk." Sebastian explained.

Talk?

Ciel frowned but decided to walk over.

Cautiously, Ciel seated herself in Sebastian's lap and while she shifted her bottom to get comfortable, Sebastian grit his teeth, willing himself not to become aroused.

"I know you're angry with me, but we both agreed on this, did we not?" Sebastian asked in a low, gentle voice, gently brushing strands of Ciel's silky hair out of her face.

"Yes…..we did. I just…...I suppose I thought it wouldn't happen." Ciel said resignedly.

"Well, it has." Sebastian said quietly, laying a hand on Ciel's tummy.

"There's nothing there, Sebastian." Ciel sighed.

"There is, though. We just can't see it yet." Sebastian disagreed with a happy smile.

Ciel rolled her eyes at the quiet excitement in Sebastian's voice and the way his eyes lit up at the mere mention of their growing baby.

"Please, kitten….." Sebastian implored Ciel. "I miss you. Talk to me, touch me, kiss me~. Let me take care of you, both of you."

Ciel frowned at Sebastian.

"All I want is to have a family with my mate. Is that so terrible?" Sebastian asked.

Ciel's frown slipped into a pout.

Sebastian turned and pulled a box from behind himself that he had kept carefully hidden.

"I've brought treats~." Sebastian purred, opening the box and offering Ciel some freshly made, decadent truffles he had purchased on the way home.

Ciel's eyes widened greedily at her alpha's offer.

Ciel reached out and picked up one of the sweets, popping it into her mouth.

Sebastian took the opportunity to nuzzle his little kitten.

From his pocket, Sebastian also withdrew a sapphire necklace, each jewel rich and opulent.

Sapphires were Ciel's favorite for some reason and she admired the way that each perfect stone shimmered even in the low light of their dimly lit bedroom.

Lovingly, Sebastian fastened the gift around Ciel's neck.

A collar for his kitten~...

Sebastian murmured confessions of his love and devotion while his hands gently massaged Ciel.

With Ciel at his side and his family under construction, Sebastian was one of the happiest, most fulfilled alphas in London.

…...And a happy alpha translated to a happy omega.

Soft coos and gentle kisses filled the room as Sebastian smooched Ciel into a chocolate-induced haze of pleasure and forgiveness.

It was true.

Ciel was in love with Sebastian as much as he was in love with her.

Ciel couldn't ask for a more doting husband~.

That night, when they laid down to go to sleep, Ciel curled up on Sebastian and Sebastian held his wife close with a happy smile.

Ciel rested with a smile on her face and a hand splayed protectively across her abdomen.

A new baby…

Her alpha's baby…

Ciel sighed blissfully in her sleep and the noise made Sebastian smirk.

Sebastian Michaelis was quite persuasive, indeed~.

—

Ciel thought that maybe this time around, some of the novelty would have worn off for Sebastian.

Ciel had no such luck.

Everyone at Michaelis industries had been notified immediately of Ciel's pregnancy and Sebastian was happy to share the news with anyone and everyone that he met.

Sterling and Evelyn were alerted about the news over social media.

Evelyn couldn't care less, but Sterling was thrilled.

Like father, like son.

Sebastian seemed to be even more overbearing then when Ciel had carried Mina.

Sebastian hovered over his omega day and night, wrapping around her whenever possible to shower her in purrs and affectionate nuzzles.

When Ciel's belly finally started to grow, Sebastian seemed to always have either his ear, lips, or hands pressed against the small mound.

Trucks filled with things for the newest Michaelis soon started arriving at the manor.

Ciel sighed, standing with Tibby at her feet and Mina in her arms while the delivery men unloaded order after order into the room that would serve as the new baby's nursery.

Ciel's evening headaches had resolved once she hit her second trimester and for that, the omega was relieved.

It was hard to be excited about anything when you couldn't blink without crippling pain.

Autumn turned to winter and one early December evening, Ciel lounged on the couch while Mina colored some pictures in the soft glow of the Christmas tree lights.

The only sound in the room was of the crackling fireplace.

Sebastian watched Ciel's hand absent-mindedly stroke her swollen middle.

The sight made Sebastian's heart and manhood ache all at once.

There was something amazing about watching Ciel mother his children.

It filled Sebastian with a deep respect and a deep passion.

Perhaps it had something to do with the lack of mothering Sebastian had experienced during his own childhood, but having a family with Ciel was sublime for the alpha.

Sebastian's eyes flickered over to Mina.

Christmas was coming.

Sebastian had already purchased mounds of toys for his daughter.

Now nearly three, this would be the first Christmas that Mina may actually remember.

Ciel and Sebastian were both looking forward to sharing the holiday with their little girl.

Sebastian glanced back over to Ciel.

But what about his omega?

What kind of gift could Sebastian give to his perfect, amazing little kitten?

Ciel had everything.

Clothing, jewelry that was worth more than some people's houses, handbags, makeup, trinkets, shoes….

…..A fine home.

…...A private jet with the ability to take her anywhere in the world at the snap of a finger.

Sebastian frowned.

Ciel didn't really care about any of those things though.

Ciel was an omega through and through.

All Ciel wanted was to be with Sebastian and Mina.

Sebastian ran a couple of searches on the internet while he looked for gift ideas.

Boring….

Boring…..

Bor-

Sebastian narrowed his eyes when an advertisement caught his attention.

Click

Hmm~.

Sebastian spent the next hour researching the promising gift idea that he had found.

Sebastian smirked in triumph.

Yes!

This would be perfect…

Ciel could never dream of such a thing!

Sebastian, refreshed and determined, closed his laptop, and looked up.

The scene in front of him made him smile lovingly.

There on the couch, wrapped in the warmth of the fireplace and Christmas tree lights, Mina and Ciel had fallen asleep together on the couch.

Mina had her tiny arms folded under her chubby cheeks and Ciel was holding her daughter gently, the bluenette's pregnant tummy was nestled in the sherpa blanket that covered them both.

Rabbie and Tibby were snoozing on the rug at the end of the couch.

Sebastian stood and admired his little family in blissful contentment.

Silently, the alpha bent down and kissed his daughter on the forehead and his wife on her lips.

Then Sebastian raised Ciel's camisole to splay his hands on her belly and place a gentle kiss on her swollen abdomen.

Family…..

Sebastian blinked.

The ad on the computer….

Ciel was asleep, Sebastian was about to pass up a grand opportunity!

Sebastian stood up suddenly and headed to the kitchen.

Pulling open a drawer, Sebastian removed a pair of kitchen shears, and walked back into the living room.

Silently, careful not to wake mother or daughter, Sebastian clipped a small lock of Ciel's hair off and deposited it into a small, clean plastic bag.

Sebastian smiled to himself while he pocketed the bag with Ciel's hair.

Carefully, the alpha carried his little family to bed with a gentle purr.

Sebastian's heart raced when he felt the smallest of movements against his arm, coming straight from Ciel's belly.

Family….

Sebastian nuzzled Ciel while she slept.

There was no better gift than family.
