After dropping Lizzy off at their home and having Alois and Naveen stay with her, Ciel and Sebastian made their way to the devil's castle through their basement. Both excited to see their children and hold them in their arms.
Deimos and Claude had taken the devil home immediately after they reached him. Ciel, unable to stand the sight of his brother on law, sent him along.
"Ciel my love slow down, I do not want you to hurt yourself again."
"I'm fine. I just want to get there before they wake up. It's been too long."
"I understand, I miss them as well." Sebastian smiled at the thought of his children waking to find them both there. They continued through the long hall to the throne room where Ann was waiting. Upon entering both were pulled into a tight embrace by the queen.
"I am so happy to see you both well and alive!" She cried.
"Mother, I've missed you, how are you?" Sebastain kissed her on the cheek.
"So much better now that my boys are home. Ciel, I cannot thank you enough for what you did for our family. Not only did you save my youngest son, but you brought back my eldest despite what he has done. Thank you Ciel.'
"It was the least I could do since you took care of my children. Were they any trouble?"
"Of course not, they listened very well. Tanaka and Finny were so amazing with them, are your other two alright?"
"They're fine, Lizzy's staying with us for a while so I left them up there."
"Wonderful, give her my love won't you, she's such a delightful girl. But look at me, droning on and you two are anxious to see your little ones, oh and Sebastian my dear, before you leave, Beth and your father would like to see you. Ciel, they are just down the hall."
"Thank you Ann."
Sebastian and Ciel walked quietly through the hall until they heard Rachel sobbing quietly.
"Miss Rachel, whatever is the matter?" Tanaka asked.
"I w-want m-mommy and d-daddy!"
"You poor child, they won't be long. They love you far too much."
"Brother Evian said the monsters made m-mommy g-go-" Ciel couldn't wait another moment.
"Rachel, come here, It's alright." The little demon jumped off the bed and ran into Ciel's arms.
"My poor baby girl, its alright now, I'm here. The monsters are gone and I have a surprise for you."
"What is it mommy, the best surprise would be d-daddy." Sebastian was touched by his daughter's words.
"I am here as well my little princess." He said kneeling down beside Ciel, Rachel moved to hug him.
"D-daddy, you came back and mommy is here, this is a happy day!" She sobbed burying her face in her father's shirt. "My brothers will be so happy, they cried until they went to sleep!"
"Did they?" Rachel nodded.
"Well, you will never have to worry about that again, your mother and I will never leave like that again." Sebastian promised.
"I am happy that you will stay. I love you both very much and-"
"Mama!" Evian shouted in his sleep. Ciel made his way over to the Child.
"Mama, don't go away, dad is away too, I want you!"
"Evian, wake up." Ciel called stroking the boy's hair. He began to toss around on the bed.
"Mama, I cannot find you and dad, why don't you come, did the monsters make you go away?"
"Evian, open your eyes, I'm right here.' Ciel said louder becoming concerned.
"Mama, Dad!" He shouted suddenly sitting up straight with tears in his eyes. Ciel held him tight.
"It's just a dream, you're okay, your father and I are right here."
"It looked very real mama."
"I know, some dreams can but It's not real at all. I love you Evian."
"You are real right mama?"
"Yes, I'm really holding you. Your father is just over there with Rachel."
"I love you mama, please do not let the monsters get you."
"The monsters won't hurt anyone anymore."
"Promise?"
"I promise. I made them go to sleep Evian, just as I told you I would the can't hurt anyone anymore."
"Mama, will you carry me to see dad?" Ciel lifted his son into his arms and did as requested. Evian grabbed onto his father and Rachel held tight to Ciel once more.
"I think we should wake Rowan and Vincent, we'll probably avoid the trauma." Sebastian nodded and soon the Michaelis family was engaged in a group hug.
"Tanaka, thank you for taking care of them. Where's Finny?'
"Out in the Queen's garden. It's good to have you both back." After collecting Finny and Cynna, who was overjoyed by their return, the family said goodbye to Ann.
"Ciel, take the children home, I need to speak to father."
"Don't be long." Ciel said, he felt tired and the children were rubbing their eyes. It was quickly decided that everyone was going back to sleep.
Sebastian sighed as he entered the darkened room and approached the bed where his father lay.
"You wanted to speak with me father?" The devil opened his eyes.
"My son, you have made me proud. War is never easy, but it does not mean that you cannot win with the odds against you, both you and Ciel have proven that. You have one hell of a mate my son, do all you can to ensure he stays by your side. Even in difficult times, your love for him is something you will always need to guide you through it. When at last it is your turn to take the throne, with Ciel by your side, no one will oppose you. Ciel is strong on his own but together you are a force that other would never dream of fighting."
"I fully intend to keep him father. Though one thing still puzzles me, the Angel, Michael. He said some-"
"That my son, is another story entirely, at the moment, just know that I am indebted to you both for all you have done as is Mordred. You two have returned the balance and brought peace to all. You will both receive many honors for your services in battle, along with those who fought at your side." The devil said weakly.
"Father, you needn't-"
"It is the highest honor hell has to give, you must accept it my son, we will have a grand gathering in your and Ciel's honor. But for now, I must rest, give Ciel my best." Upon entering the castle, Sebastian was shocked to hear Mordred's voice.
"I merely wished to express my appreciation." He said calmly.
"You are bad!" Rachel said glaring angrily at her uncle.
"Yes, I will not deny that. However it is part of our traditions to personally thank the one who saved your life, you see little one, as much as I hate it, I owe your parents my life eternally.
"What does that mean mommy?"
"It means I own him basically and he's not going to bother us anymore."
"Never mum?" Rowan asked.
"Never again, if he does, well, I gave him back his life, and I can take it away. Do we understand each other?"
"We do."
"Good, you will apologize to my family for all the things you did to them, and you will mean it or else." Mordred sighed and turned to the children.
"I am sorry for any trouble I have caused. I will no longer be a threat to your family." Rowan walked toward him and stared for a moment before kicking Mordred as hard as he could in his leg. Mordred cried out in pain. Sebastian allowed himself a smile and he chuckled softly.
"That is for all the times you hurt my mum!' Rowan exclaimed, he turned and walked back to his siblings who cheered for him and patted his shoulder.
"You little-"
"That's my son you're talking to." Ciel reminded. Mordred growled but did nothing else.
"You're excused." Ciel said coldly. Mordred hissed angrily as he passed Sebastian.
"You ought to teach those little monsters a lesson brother."
"Rowan was following one of my lessons Mordred, he was taking care if his Mother, you have done a lot worse, perhaps it is you who I need to teach." Without another word, mordred was gone. Ciel was trying to hid the the fact that he was laughing.
"Really love, you should not encourage this behavior." Sebastian teased. The children giggled.
"Mommy thinks It's funny to kick the bad man, mommy, may I try too?" Rachel asked.
"No. Right now its time for bed." Sebastian said.
"Can we read a story?"
"Children, it is very late, and I want you all rested in the morning."
"But daddy!" Rachel whined. Sebastian tried to be firm with his decison but Rachel's eyes were pleading and he couldn't stand his ground.
"One story, then sleep." The children ran to find a book. Ciel leaned into his mate who embraced him.
"You know what I think Sebastian?"
"That I will soon need to make a journey to your favorite sweets shop because your supply is low?"
"Well...yes but besides that, I think you're getting soft in your old age." Ciel teased.
"Absolute nonsense, I am the monster I have always been."
"Is that right, you gave in to a little girl, rhe Sebastian I had a contract with would never have done that."
"Rachel is not just any little girl my dear, she is my daughter, there is a difference."
"I don't believe it. You're soft."
"My darling ciel, I am not soft I am simply... More family oriented."
"Whatever you call it It's all the same."
"It most certainly is not, I am telling you I am still the vicious, cruel and vile beast you knew in your life as a human." Sebastian insisted.
"Prove it." Ciel challenged. Sebastian smirked.
"Are you certain you want that Ciel?"
"I'm waiting."
"Very well, I shall." Sebastian lifted Ciel off the floor raising him to eye level. His eyes turned a fiery red.
"I'm not scared of you, I can do that too." Sebastian allowed his fangs ti show.
"Just remember, you asked me to prove myself, do you know what happens when demons want something that is not willingly given?"
"What?"
"We take it." Sebastian said moving in closer to Ciel and kissing him. Ciel tried to push him away playfully.
"That doesn't count." The young demon said.
"Why not?"
"Because I give you those all the time anyway." Ciel wrapped his arms around Sebastian's neck.
"Perhaps you're right, I have softened a touch."
"It's alright." Ciel said.
"Is it?"
"I love you just as you are, I'm happy to have you home." Sebastian nuzzled his mate.
"I love you too Ciel, I missed you."
"Daddy, we found one!" Rachel shouted from the stairs.
"your mother and I will be up shortly."
"We should get up there too." Ciel said.
"Yes, the children should have their story." Sebastian held Ciel just as he always had, and carried him up the steps. It was good to be home.
An: this is the final chapter, I thought it deserved one. Hope you enjoyed it.
