"So she is pregnant - for sure?" the Earl said, looking meaningfully at Sebastian as he buttoned his shirt up.

"Yes, for sure."

Ciel stilled and sighed. "I am very happy for you. And in a weird way I am getting a bonus on my contract; gaining another person who will protect me until the end of time."

"Indeed you are, my lord. Mey-Rin has always thought highly of you, and is forever in your debt for rescuing her from her previous life."

"She shouldn't," he said quickly. He saw the perplexed look and snorted. "You were the one who heard the news of a young assassin who was found and would be executed. You are the one who brought that news to me, saying she would make an excellent addition."

Sebastian blinked slowly; how could his master remember such details? And of course he knew Mey-Rin was found by him, a butlers job was to make sure the master was always in charge. To a point, Sebastian mused.

Ciel waved a hand, dismissing the whole conversation. "Elizabeth will be here this afternoon. Movers." He shuttered slightly. "And in two weeks I am going to be walking down my own wedding isle." He turned and picked up his rings from the velvet lined jewelry box. "Any advice?" he asked, looking at Sebastian, meeting his eyes in the mirror.

"Allow yourself some rest and freedom to be happy," he said finally. "Lady Elizabeth will be a fine addition to the Phantomhive family."

Ciel whirled around and gave a small laugh. "An amusing thing to say, Sebastian. We already have a demon, converting half-human, baby of unknown variety, an experimented man-child who doesn't know his own strength, a cook who can't cook unless he burns the whole thing, and an old man who remembers my parents." He walked to the door and paused in opening it. "And then there is me, a broken child who had a crush on the one person who never stopped fighting for him to be made whole again."

Sebastian watched as his young master strolled out of the bedroom. He heard the delicate footfalls and the steady heart beat. He closed his eyes and smiled. Ah, yes, my lord, I do want you whole, but beyond that, happy. A happy, whole, full, soul for my meal. I have waited so long, cultivated it so much, but this one last thing is what I have been missing from all of my souls: Love beyond the pain.

"Sebastian! Are you going to stand there like an idiot, or do I have to direct the movers myself?" the Earl yelled down the hall.

Sebastian snapped his eyes open and smiled, licking his lips. A soul full of love - that was his desire. He fluidly walked out of the room and was standing beside his master in a moment. Ciel huffed and shook his head.

"Tell me Mey-Rin will not acquire your ability to sneak around the house."

"I actually do not know how she will change and what demonic abilities she will have," he said, cocking his head as he thought. "We were to busy trying to make a child to discuss it."

"Oh, please - no," Ciel suddenly said. "Remember how we said we would not discuss our private, bedroom affairs?"

Sebastian smiled. "So no bedroom tips before the wedding?"

Ciel paled and turned, walking swiftly down the stairs. Sebastian simply laughed.
