"Mommy, I am afraid!" Rachel cried rubbing her eyes.
"Are you all away from the wall?" Ciel asked.
"Yes mommy, we are by the wall with Mey-Rin!"
"Stay there." Ciel called as the wall crumbled and he and Sebastian climbed over the rubble.
The four Michaelis children ran to their mother and embraced him before greeting their father.
"Why is it that your mother gets hugged first?" Sebastian asked.
"Silly daddy, It's mommy, mommies are supposed to be hugged first."
"Is that right my dear?" Rachel nodded.
"You're not jealous are you Sebastian?"
"I do not get jealous." The older demon said indignantly.
"Don't you?"Alois sa with mild amusement.
"I suggest that you be quiet before you force me to do something you will regret." Sebastian said.
"Not in front of the children." Ciel warned.
"Daddy always does what mommy says, that is funny." Rachel giggled.
"Yes. Dad is funny, mommy makes him be nice." Vincent grinned.
"That's enough you two. You shouldn't give your father a hard time, he's not having a very easy time as it is with your grandfather's health."
"Yes mommy." The twins said in unison bowing their heads.
"My own children... I never thought I would see the day."
"They're children, that's what they do, they tease others around them, parents included from time to time. Tell me you never did something like that."
"Definitely not...within father's hearing range." Alois and Luca snickered. Naveen rolled his eyes and sighed.
"Daddy, It's pretty and shiny, can I have it please?" Rachel pointed in the direction of a soft light green glow in the wall behind Alois. The group turned.
Sebastian noticed the stone in the box begin to glow as well and walked toward the light which became brighter with each step he took.
"My dear Rachel, I believe you found the second stone." Rachel grinned.
"I helped?"
"Yes, you certainly did. Sebastian pulled it from the wall and glanced around, the tomb was still. "Rachel,would you like to put this one carefully inside the bag Naveen is carrying for safe keeping?"
"Yes, I would like that a lot!" She took the stone from her father gently holding it with both hands.
"Do you see see everyone, Watch me help!" She exclaimed proudly. Naveen took a cloth from his bag and held it out to Rachel.
"Princess, we need to protect it and it would help to wrap it in here and we can place it inside along with the one your father possesses." Rachel nodded and allowed her cousin to help her put the cloth around it. He gave it to her and held the bag open. Once the stone was inside, Rachel turned to her mother and father.
"Mommy, daddy, did you see it, I was very careful and I helped."
"We saw you, your mother and I couldn't be more proud."
"We are proud of you too sister." Evian said as the three boys hugged her.
"Well then, we best be off, eight more stones and so little time. Come children, hold onto each other, we don't want anyone to get lost, so please hold on to your mother as well."
"Mothers don't get lost dad." Rowan said grabbing Rachel and Vincent's hands.
"Are you certain Rowan?"
"Yes, mothers find people who are lost, like when we went to see Lizzy and we stayed in the house where mum used to live, Rachel and Vincent got lost and they were sad and needed Someone to find them."
"I remember that sister." Vincent said unhappily.
"Yes brother, it was scary, I did not think we would ever be found."
"But then mommy came and found us, what a good mommy we have sister and brothers."
"Yes, we're very lucky to have Mama."
"I agree." Rowan confirmed. Ciel couldn't stop himself from feeling slightly embarrassed by the praise from him children.
"Yes, we certainly are fortunate to have your mother, after all, without him, the five of us would not be here.
"Yay mommy!" The twins' voices echoed through the room.
"Alright, that's enough now, we have other things to think of." It didn't take long for them to find their way out.
"Thought we'd be stuck in there forever." Bard commented.
"We were in there for hours, yes we were."
"Look brothers, it is night time, the stars and moon are out, we must get ready for sleeping."
"Brother, are you proud of me like Ciel and Sebastian are of their children?" Luca asked, his voice sounded worried. Alois pulled him close.
"I'm always proud of you."
"Even when I take your cake that Hannah makes us?" Naveen chuckled. Both he and Alois had watched the boy steal the treat.
"Well, It's not very nice, but I'm proud of you even then because you're my little brother."
"Look at that star brothers, It's very bright, maybe that is the mommy star!"
"Mommy star?" Rowan asked curiously.
"Yes, because it is the biggest one and the little ones are all around it. They must love their mommy. I love our mommy." Rachel said pointing toward the sky.
"Sebastian, how did the two of us end up with such sweet, adorable, loving children?"
"I haven't the slightest idea, perhaps we are very lucky."
"I love our family." Ciel said as they walked.
"I do as well, thank you my Ciel, for this life you have given us."
