Welcome back! Now to find out of MeyRin's suspicions are correct!
Chapter 8
Sebastian arrived at the Undertaker's shop and stormed inside.
"Undertaker, are you in?" he called. A coffin creaked open to reveal the silver-haired ex-reaper. "Helllllllooooooo?"
"Undertaker, Grell has fallen ill. It was suggested to me that…" Sebastian paused. This honestly sounded ridiculous. He sighed and continued. "It was suggested that Grell may be…pregnant. Is this possible?"
Undertaker's eyes widened in surprise, apparently. "Who suggested it, eh?"
Sebastian rubbed his temples.
"The maid. She has a rather large family and thought she recognized the symptoms of morning sickness. I know it sounds ridiculous," he replied. "Grell is a mix, though. I don't know if that makes it possible or not."
"Well of course Miss Grell is a mix, why'd ya think any differently, hmm?" Undertaker stepped out of the coffin and around to the books on the shelf. Running his long nails across the spines, he picked one out and turned back to Sebastian. "Why did you think all the other reapers treated her differently, hmm?"
Sebastian raised an eyebrow.
"Grell is rather energetic and flirty. I thought that was it, seeing as most other reapers are not," he said. "I had never heard of a demon and a reaper being together before."
Undertaker raised a finger and moved it back and forth. "Ah, ah, ah. Reapers may be different than demons, but they have far less acceptance for differences, ya see." Undertaker flipped through the book as he sat on a coffin and crossed his legs.
"So. Do you know if it is possible for Grell to become pregnant, then?" Sebastian asked. Working with the Undertaker always took longer than expected. Sebastian thought he would have been used to this by now.
Undertaker shrugged. "Who can tell? The little lady is the first of her kind," Undertaker looked at Sebastian through his bangs. "But certainly not the last, eheheheh." His giggles turned into full blown roaring laughter.
Sebastian sighed in annoyance. The Undertaker seemed to be allergic to straight answers. However, he had gotten an answer from him.
"Very well," Sebastian said stolidly. He headed for the door. He supposed they would have to wait and see whether or not Grell was actually pregnant.
"You'd better invite me to the little one's birth! Yeheheheheh!" Undertaker called after Sebastian.
As much as Sebastian would like to avoid that, if Grell was pregnant, Undertaker could be their best option to help with the delivery. However that would happen. He sprinted out of London and back to the manor. Hopefully Grell would be feeling a little better. Once back, Sebastian found everyone in the bedroom with Grell, who was sitting up and smiling.
Ignoring everyone else, Sebastian made his way to Grell's side.
"Grell, how are you feeling?" he asked in concern.
Grell smiled. "Much better, darling. Where did you go? I woke up and everyone was here but you." Grell pouted.
Bard stepped up, nervously. "MeyRin told us he was ill, so we made 'im some soup an' tried ta make 'im more comfortable."
Finny sat on the bed holding his little dog and smiling. "I brought 'im the roses from the garden too!" He pointed to the vase of roses on the nightstand. Among the white, a lone red rose stood out in the middle.
MeyRin smiled. "Don't worry, Sebastian. I made the soup."
Sebastian was rather surprised.
"Thank you, all," he said sincerely. Sebastian turned back to Grell. "I apologize for not being here. MeyRin told me she….thought you were pregnant. I went to see Undertaker to ask if that was at all possible. He seems to think it might be." He really didn't want to get Grell's hopes up if it wasn't the case, but it was the only answer he had currently. The room went dead silent. Grell's eyes widened.
Bard and MayRin looked at each other and pulled Finny out the door. "Well, time ta go! Call if ya need anythin' else." Once they had left, Grell kept staring at Sebastian in shock.
"Grell…" Sebastian said, a little worried. He sat on the edge of the bed and picked up Grell's hand in his own. Grell's bangs hid his eyes as he stayed silent. Sebastian was unsure what to do. Had he upset Grell? Sebastian was sure Grell would have been ecstatic.
"Grell?" he asked softly.
"If I told you it was possible..." He let the question hang for a moment to sink in. "...Would you leave...?"
Sebastian was shocked.
"Grell…Why would you think that?" he asked. Grell looked out the window.
"You didn't ask for this much baggage, Sebastian... I don't want to burden you with something you don't want..." Grell touched his stomach briefly then pulled his fingers away. Sebastian hooked a finger gently under Grell's chin and turned his head so he could look into his eyes.
"Grell, I love you. I am not leaving you. This is certainly a surprise, but I'm not upset with you," he replied, gently caressing his cheek.
Grell's eyes clouded with small tears. "Y-You're not mad that I didn't tell you?"
Sebastian shook his head.
"I do wish you would have told me, but I'm not mad," he said. Sebastian normally would have been, but with Grell - after everything - he couldn't.
Grell let the tears slip and he lay his hand on Sebastian's. "Really?"
"Yes, really," Sebastian insisted. He used the fingers of his other hand to gently wipe away Grell's tears.
Grell smiled and leaned his forehead against Sebastian's. "You really want me to do it? I can..." he swallowed the lump in his throat. "...abort... if it's too much too fast." And he meant it. As much as he wanted a child, as happy as he truly was to finally become a mother; he would give it all up in a heartbeat for Sebastian.
"No! It isn't too much, Grell," Sebastian replied in surprise. He stroked Grell's hair and kissed his cheek. "Do not abort unless you want to."
Grell let the rest of the tears flow. "You want to try that announcement again? I think I have a more suitable reaction." He smiled at Sebastian, his eyes sparkling. Sebastian chuckled.
"Grell…you are pregnant," he said, smiling. Grell tackled him laughing and squealing. "I'M GOING TO BE A MOMMY!"
Sebastian laughed and wrapped his arms around Grell.
"Congratulations, my love," he replied happily. Grell pressed his lips to Sebastian's.
"I can't thank you enough. You've made three of my dreams come true in less than 72 hours." Grell's eyes sparkled with excitement behind his glasses. Sebastian returned the kiss.
"No thanks are needed. If I couldn't do this much for you, what kind of lover would I be?" he inquired with a charming grin. Grell laughed and flicked his finger across Sebastian's nose playfully. Sebastian kissed Grell again and rubbed his back.
"Now I have even more reason to spoil you," he commented, sliding his hand to Grell's still flat stomach.
Grell blushed. "How do you figure that, honey?"
"You're pregnant," Sebastian said. "I wouldn't be surprised if you have cravings and other side effects. I want to make sure you feel good throughout the pregnancy despite them."
Grell smiled. "Are you still going to think I'm cute when I'm huge and cranky?"
Sebastian smiled back.
"Of course. You'll always be cute," he replied, giving Grell a kiss. Grell blushed and lay his head on Sebastian's chest, sighing. Sebastian wrapped his arms more securely around Grell.
"Do you hope it's a girl or boy?" he asked after a moment.
"I don't care. As long as you aren't going anywhere and love me, I will be happy with either." Grell slid his fingers through Sebastian's hair. "I hope it'll have your hair."
Sebastian smiled.
"As long as it has your lovely eyes," he replied. That made him wonder, though, whether their child would be more reaper or demon. Grell smiled showing off his sharp teeth. He noticed Sebastian wonder and the smile dropped.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing. I was merely wondering whether it will be more reaper or more demon," Sebastian said with a reassuring smile. It honestly didn't matter to him, but it was still something that would be important.
Grell tapped his chin then smiled. "Demon."
Sebastian raised an eyebrow.
"You think so? Well, whatever our child turns out to be, I'm sure they will be very powerful," he said. "And if we have a girl, she'll be as beautiful as you."
Grell nodded. "I'm half demon, you are full demon; ergo, more demon than reaper." He leaned closer, smiling. "And a boy will be as handsome as you, darling."
Sebastian grinned and kissed Grell passionately. He removed his gloves and ran his fingers through Grell's hair, while pulling him closer with his other hand. Grell moaned into Sebastian's mouth, pushing himself up to lay on top of him. Sebastian ran his hand down Grell's back and down to his ass. He gave it a playful squeeze as he deepened the kiss. Grell squeaked and, involuntarily, bucked his hips into Sebastain's. Sebastian growled and ground his hips against Grell's in response. He bit lightly on Grell's bottom lip and stroked his thigh.
Grell pushed Sebastian back and sat on his hips, smirking. He walked his fingers up Sebastian's chest tantalizingly. Sebastian smirked and ground his hips up again.
"Having fun, Grell?" he asked, squeezing his ass once more.
"Maybe... Are you?" Grell arched his back as he leaned down closer to Sebastian.
"I am," Sebastian replied, leaning up to nip at Grell's neck.
"Hehe." Grell licked Sebastian's lips seductively. Sebastian growled and licked a stripe up Grell's neck. He slid a hand down the back of Grell's pants with a smirk.
Grell smiled, blushing. "Getting mischievous, are we, darling?"
"Consider it repayment for the teasing earlier," Sebastian replied, kissing Grell's neck.
"Are you going to punish me? Have I been naughty, Sebas-chan?" Grell slides his tongue across the points of his teeth teasingly. Sebastian smirked.
"I might, but is it really punishment if you like it?" he asked. Without warning he slapped Grell's ass.
Grell jumped with a squeak. "Want me to act?"
Sebastian leered.
"No," he replied. Sebastian flipped them over so he was hovering over Grell. He stripped out of his tailcoat and vest before leaning down to whisper in Grell's ear. "You won't need to act."
Grell squirmed beneath Sebastian, his hair flowing like a river under him. Sebastian removed Grell's vest and quickly unbuttoned Grell's shirt. He ground their hips together as he leaned down to flick his tongue over Grell's nipple. Grell moaned and gripped Sebastian's hips. Sebastian blew on it and then turned his attention to the other side. He unbuttoned Grell's trousers and pushed them down. Sebastian sat up and worked the rest of Grell's clothes off and then his own. Grell lay fully exposed and waiting, his eyes begging.
Sebastian smirked.
"Roll over," he told Grell as he retrieved the jar of oil. He remembered what Bard had said earlier, and with a thought the room was sound-proof. Grell looked confused at first but did as he was told. Sebastian lifted Grell's hips and the coated his fingers in the oil. Once satisfied he set the jar on the side table.
"Spread your legs, Grell," Sebastian purred. Grell did so, feeling fairly vulnerable on his hands and knees. Sebastian leaned over Grell and placed gentle kisses along the back of neck. As he did so he began teasing Grell's entrance. Grell hisses at the teases as his hips wiggled. "I guess...this is what I get for being naughty, huh?"
Sebastian chuckled and continued to tease him, pushing his finger in just a little and pulling it back out.
"Of course. Those who are naughty must be punished," he said, reaching around Grell and pinched one of his already abused nipples. "It's also rather fun teasing you."
Grell whimpered. He turned his head to look at Sebastian, a lewd sparkle in his eyes. "Are you going to be cruel? Or just slow?"
Sebastian pushed his finger in all the way and pressed against his sweet spot.
"What do you think?" he asked, repeating the move with his second finger. Grell's eyes widened and he bit down on the sheets, muffling his cry of pleasure.
"Ah, ah, Grell. I want to hear you scream," Sebastian chided, pushing in a third. "I might take pity on you if you beg."
Grell dropped the sheets from his mouth, puncture holes riddling the cloth, and lets out a bliss-induced scream. Sebastian growled in arousal.
"You have the best screams," he crooned in Grell's ear. "Now beg." Sebastian teased his sweet spot mercilessly. Grell panted, a stream of saliva dripping from his open mouth. "P-pl-please! Sebastian~"
Sebastian smirked.
"Please what? You'll need to be more specific if I'm to please you," he taunted.
"Ugh... Please, Se-Sebastian... Pleasure me...!" Grell's back arched with every touch. Sebastian decided that was good enough.
"Very well," he replied. Sebastian removed his fingers, and slicked himself up. He flipped Grell over, lifted his legs, and began to push into him. Grell had barely caught his breath before he was filled again. He gripped the sheets mercilessly as he moaned. Sebastian placed Grell's legs at his waist and gripped his hips. He began thrusting in earnest.
"You're beautiful, Grell," Sebastian grunted. Grell's eyes were half-lidded as he smiled, his red bangs bouncing against his face. Sebastian kissed him hungrily and sped up his thrusts. Grell was the only one ever able to get him this hot and bothered. Grell wrapped his arms around Sebastian's neck and kissed back, his hips crashing against Sebastian's with every thrust. Sebastian worked his hand between them and began stroking Grell in rhythm with his thrusts. He licked Grell's lips and growled in pleasure. Grell's eyes rolled closed and his body shuddered as he whimpered, screamed, and writhed beneath Sebastian. Sebastian leaned down and bit the mark he'd left last time. He lifted one of Grell's legs high and thrust deeper. Grell moaned and screamed louder and louder with every thrust, gripping the sheets tighter and tighter.
"Ugh...Sebastian!"
"That's it. Cum for me, Grell," Sebastian coaxed. He thrust and stroked Grell faster. Grell curled in on himself whimpering as he reached his climax. His back arched and his nails ripped the sheets as he released. "Sebastian!"
"Grell!" Sebastian growled as he too was pushed over the edge. He panted as he slowly came down from his high and, as gently as possible, pulled out. Sebastian lowered Grell's legs and lay beside him. Grell panted into the mattress, his grip on the sheets loosening.
He turned his head to look at Sebastian. "Hehe... Guess I'll...have to get pregnant...more often...if you're going to treat me like that, Sebas-chan... hehe."
Sebastian chuckled and looked back at him.
"Maybe so; though maybe we should wait and see how this one turns out, hm?" he replied, taking Grell's hand in his own. Sebastian wasn't sure how safe this pregnancy would be. This was all new territory and he didn't want Grell to become hurt…or worse.
Grell nodded chuckling. "What? You don't want a big family, darling? Ehehehe."
Sebastian leaned over and kissed Grell.
"I have no issues with a big family. If all goes well, that would be wonderful. I am merely concerned for your health," he said, stroking his thumb over the top of Grell's hand.
"Why? What do you think will happen to my health?" Grell sat up, propping himself up on one hand. Sebastian shook his head and rolled onto his side to face Grell.
"I don't know, that is the problem. There are many unknowns. Do not worry, though, Grell. I will take care of that," he replied with a slight chuckle. Sebastian reached over to brush his fingers through Grell's hair.
Grell leaned into the touch purring softly. "I'm not worried, darling, as long as I have you to protect me, I'll never get hurt."
Sebastian smiled and kissed him.
"I will do everything in my power to keep you safe and happy," he promised, giving Grell an adoring look.
Grell smiled. "Then you have nothing to fear, either, darling." He leaned his forehead against Sebastian's. Sebastian rested his hand on Grell's hip.
"Would you like to pick a nursery tomorrow? You can decorate it however you wish. I will get anything you want," he suggested. He didn't want to think about things that might happen. This was an amazing thing.
Grell gasped, his hands clasped together. "Really?! Oh, Sebas-chan, that would be great!"
Sebastian grinned.
"I'm glad you're so excited," he said. Sebastian loved seeing Grell so happy. Grell slid out of the bed and wrapped the red coat around himself. He made his way into the bathroom and started the water. Sebastian sat up, then got out of bed and stood by the door.
"Do you need assistance?" he asked. Sebastian didn't want Grell to strain himself. Though maybe he was being a little over-protective. The red coat dropped off Grell's shoulder as he shook his head, reviling more ivory skin.
"It's just a bath, darling. I shouldn't need assistance with a bath till three months."
"Very well. I am going to check on the servants. They seemed rather shocked by the news," Sebastian replied. He found his clothes and dressed quickly. Sebastian made sure to neaten his hair and removed the sound-proofing (for now) before he headed out.
"Have fun, dear." Grell dropped the coat and slid into the hot water sighing.
Sebastian wondered where the servants had gotten too. Probably in the kitchen again. He made his way downstairs and to the kitchen. When he didn't find them there he was mildly surprised. Sebastian searched the entire manor and headed outside when he saw the carriage, driven by Bard, pulling up in the driveway.
Bard waved. "Oi! Sebastian!" He pulled the carriage to a stop and jumped down, MayRin, Finny and Tanaka pilled out, arms full of boxes. Sebastian raised an eyebrow.
"What were you four doing?" he asked. MeyRin and Finny ran up to Sebastian smiling.
"We were shopping for the baby, yes we were!"
"Oh?" Sebastian replied, his other eyebrow joining his first. "…I appreciate it. May I see what you bought?"
Finny nodded, his little dog obediently at his side. "Since we di'n't know if it was a boy or a girl, we got yellow fabrics." He opened one of the boxes to reveal a yellow baby blanket.
Sebastian had to stop himself from chuckling. Grell would have probably preferred a red blanket for their child. He would change it if Grell requested.
"Thank you. I'm sure Grell will love it," Sebastian said, taking the box. Bard wrapped an arm around Sebastian's shoulders as the others took the boxes inside. "Well done, Sebastian! Ta tell the truth, I didn't think you would e'vr be a family guy."
Sebastian picked up Bard's arm and removed it from his shoulders with a look of distaste.
"Grell is an exception," he said. Sebastian turned and headed inside.
"It still counts." Bard followed. MeyRin, Finny and Tanaka had lined up all the boxes on the dining room table, now placing baby blue and baby pink coloured bows on each. Sebastian placed his fingers against his forehead and sighed. Really?
"If I may ask, what else did you purchase?" Sebastian inquired.
"You'll just hav' to wait till Grell opens them, yes you will." MayRin smiled. "Keeping it a surprise is half the fun!"
Sebastian grimaced.
"I suppose," he replied. Hopefully whatever they bought wasn't too awful.
"Ohh! What's all this?" Grell came prancing down the stairs in his usual attire, except his vest was left open. Sebastian turned to face his lovely red reaper.
"Grell, they have bought gifts for the baby," he explained. Grell's face beamed. "Ohh yay!" He hovered over the table. "Do I have to wait to open them?"
Sebastian glanced over his shoulder at the servants.
"Well?" he asked them.
MayRin shook her head. "No, no, you can open 'em now if you want to. Unless, Sebastian wants you to wait, that is." Grell turned to Sebastian, his yellow-green eyes sparkling behind his red frames. Sebastian chuckled.
"You can open them, Grell," he said. Sebastian couldn't deny his beautiful lover. Grell smiled and sat down on the table, his legs crossed. He reached for the box next to him and carefully opened it but stopped and looked at Sebastian.
"What are you doing way over there?" Grell snapped his fingers and pointed next to himself. Bard, MayRin and Finny all tensed. No one but the young master had had the guts to order Sebastian where to go. Their eyes jumped from the angry red-head to Sebastian. Sebastian raised an eyebrow but walked over to Grell. He wrapped his arm around his waist.
"I'd appreciate a "please" next time, my love," Sebastian commented, smirking slightly.
Grell dropped his head. "Sorry, darling." Finny breathed a sigh of relief.
Bard crossed his arms. "Glad we don' have ta clean up another body afta that." He muttered to himself. Sebastian gave Bard a deathly glare before turning back to Grell.
"It is fine. Please, open your presents," he urged with a smile. Grell smiled again and finished opening the box. He giggled as he pulled out a baby's nightgown in red.
"You've no idea how long we had to search for a red one. Everyone only had white, yes they did," MeyRin said with a smile. Grell thanked them and folded it neatly at his side as Finny (and his dog) relieved him of the box. Sebastian smiled and rubbed Grell's back. It was turning out better than he expected already.
Grell pointed to one just out of his reach. "Sebas-chan, can you hand me that one please?"
"Of course," Sebastian replied. He picked up the box and handed it to Grell. "Here."
Grell took it with a smile, placing the baby blue bow in Sebastain's hair and chuckling. Sebastian huffed and removed the bow with an amused smile.
"Aww. It was so cute." Grell pouted as soon as the bow was gone. However he finished opening the box and pulled out a Teddy Bear with a red bow tied around its neck.
Finny pointed excitedly. "I picked that one out!" Grell smiled at the gardener's outburst. "How perfect, Finny!"
Sebastian smiled.
"I'm sure our child will love it," he said. Grell went through gift after gift, most containing toys and gender-neutral coloured clothing. After all of them had been opened, Grell felt like the luckiest woman alive.
"Thank you all for the wonderful gifts."
"I must say, I'm rather impressed. Thank you," Sebastian said with a smile. He couldn't help but be happy when Grell was. MayRIn, Finny, Tanaka and Bard saluted with a smile. "You're quite welcome, Sebastian!" "Oh oh oh."
Sebastian smiled at Grell.
"Shall we find a nursery to put these in?" he asked.
Grell smiled, holding onto the Teddy Bear. "Do you have one in mind?"
Sebastian held out his arm.
"I do. It will need redecorating, but otherwise I think it will work well," he replied. Grell took the arm and walked with Sebastian as the three servants gathered up the boxes. Sebastian led Grell upstairs and down a hallway before stopping outside a door. He opened it to reveal a nice sized, blue room with a large bay-window, with a cushioned bench, that looked out over the garden.
"After a change in décor, would this be suitable?" Sebastian inquired.
Grell gasped and stepped into the room, spinning. "Oh, Bassy! This is perfect!"
Sebastian smiled.
"It isn't too far from our room, either. I'm glad you like it," he said, watching Grell.
Grell looked out the window as he sat on the bench, rubbing his stomach lovingly. "It's perfect..." Directly below the window, one of the red rose bushes Finny had bought was in full bloom. Sebastian walked over and sat beside him. He took Grell's hand in his and kissed the back of it.
"You are going to be a wonderful mother, Grell," he commented.
Grell blushed and looked at Sebastian. "And you will make the best father, darling."
Being a father…it was such a strange concept to Sebastian. He had never considered it before. It was nice, but odd. He smiled at Grell.
"I love you," said Sebastian.
Grell smiled. "Prove it. Scream it to the world, Sebas-chan."
Sebastian leaned over.
"I love you, Grell," he whispered into his ear.
Grell raised an eyebrow. "Why did you whisper it to me? I wanted you to scream it to the world." He stuck his lower lip out, pouting.
Sebastian cupped Grell's face in his hands.
"Because you are my world," he replied.
Grell blushed. "Oh, Sebastian..."
Sebastian smiled and gave him a sweet kiss. Grell looked out the window again, admiring the red roses.
"You asked Finny to get those, didn't you?"
"I did," Sebastian replied, wrapping his arm around Grell's waist. Grell placed his hands on Sebastian's as they rested on his stomach. He leaned back against the demon's body. "Do you think our child will like the colour red?"
Sebastian smiled.
"I would not be surprised if they did," he said. "Would you be upset if they didn't?"
Grell chuckled. "Of course not. More red for me to love."
Sebastian laughed and kissed Grell's temple.
"You are amazing, Grell," he commented.
Grell looked up to meet Sebastian's gaze. "You think so?"
"I know so," Sebastian replied, kissing Grell's cheek. To him, Grell was everything. Grell blushed, a small giggle escaping his lips.
"You are as well, Bassy."
"Of course. I am one Hell of a lover," Sebastian joked. He kissed Grell again and pulled him a little tighter to his side.
Grell laughed. "Of course you are! Otherwise you wouldn't hear me scream~." Grell winked. Sebastian chuckled.
"Very true," he agreed. Grell stood and walked back to their room, tossing his coat and vest onto the bed and unbuttoning his shirt. Sebastian followed closely.
"Is there anything you need, Grell?" he asked. Grell let his shirt drop from his shoulders, his bowtie falling with it.
He turned to face Sebastian. "Just you cuddling me alllll night long."
Sebastian smiled.
"That can certainly be arranged," he replied, beginning to undress. Grell walked into the bathroom and shut the door. When he came back out, a red silk nightgown flowed over his figure, the sweetheart neckline giving just a peek of his flawless chest. Sebastian had unbuttoned his own shirt by that point. He walked over to Grell and wrapped his arms around his waist.
"You are beautiful, Grell," Sebastian commented, kissing him sweetly.
Grell blushed. "You like it? I brought it from my home in the Reaper realm. It's my favorite nightgown."
Sebastian frowned slightly.
"The Reaper realm? When did you go there?" he asked.
"A little while ago. I snuck away to get it and some others..." Grell's smile faulted. "Are you mad at me?"
Sebastian sighed and shook his head.
"I'm not mad, per-say. I do wish you had brought me or Undertaker with you. Why did you feel you had to sneak off?" he replied.
Grell looked down, ashamed. "I wanted you to be surprised... I even got some more of my corsets for you."
Sebastian cupped Grell's face in his hands.
"I appreciate the thought, Grell. I just want you to be safe. If you must go back there, please go with Undertaker. I want you to be safe," he said. "Though…I must say, I am now looking forward to seeing you in those corsets." Sebastian smirked.
Grell smiled, giggling. "Ok, I'll take the old man with me next time."
"Good," Sebastian replied with a smile. He kissed Grell's cheek and then went back to undressing. Grell walked over to the bed and layed on his side, waiting and enjoying the view. Sebastian smirked sexily and finished undressing so that he was only in his underwear. He climbed in on the other side of the bed and spooned up behind Grell. Grell scotched against Sebastian's front, placing his lover's hands on his stomach. "Mmmm, I love you, Sebastian."
Sebastian kissed his shoulder.
"I love you too, Grell," he said, gently rubbing Grell's stomach. Grell sighed and soon drifted off to sleep, a smile on his face. Sebastian smiled and buried his nose in Grell's hair. Things were turning out so well.
Outside, a pair of eyes were fixed on Sebastian and his lover. One black eye... and one white eye watched them.
_††_
~Three months Later~
Grell woke up with a groan, his belly about 5 times the normal size. "Ugh... Sebastian..."
Sebastian opened his eyes and looked over at Grell.
"Yes, Grell? Are you alright?" he asked, sitting up.
"Yeah, just sore." Grell sat up and attempted to stretch, his spine popping. "Ah..." Grell looked down at his belly smiling. Sebastian smiled in relief. He kissed Grell's cheek then leaned down to kiss his belly.
"Would you like a massage, love?" he asked, looking at Grell lovingly.
Grell smiled and pushed the straps of his nightgown off his shoulders, letting it fall around his expanded waist. "That would be heavenly~, darling."
Sebastian shifted so he could reach Grell's back and began by rubbing his shoulders. He worked slowly down to his back and made sure to massage every inch.
"You are stunning, Grell," he murmured, using his thumbs to massage his lower back extra deep. Grell moaned, loving the massage. Since he had gotten pregnant, Sebastian, Undertaker and he had retrieved all his things from his home in the Reaper Realm and they had redecorated the nursery. "Oh, Bassy~. You're fingers are magic..."
Sebastian chuckled and continued with the massage.
"Would you care for some breakfast, Grell? I'll make whatever you wish," he offered as he finished with the massage.
Grell moaned, rubbing his stomach. "Oh I don't care, darling..."
Sebastian kissed Grell tenderly before he got up. He dressed and neatened his hair and left the room. He made quick work of breakfast and brought it up to Grell.
"I will be heading out to get you more maternity wear. Is there any style in particular you would like?" asked Sebastian.
Grell smiled. "Anything in red, dear, you know me. Can I go this time? Please?" Grell's eyes pleaded like a puppy. Sebastian sighed.
"It isn't safe, Grell. There is always a chance we would run into other reapers. If you weren't pregnant I know you would be able to protect yourself, but you are pregnant," Sebastian replied. He hated saying no to Grell, but it was to keep him safe.
Grell pouted. "That's hardly fair. I'd be with you."
Sebastian shook his head.
"I am sorry, but I don't want to risk it," he said. Sebastian didn't know what he would do if he lost Grell and their child. "I'll be back soon. I love you." He turned and headed for the door.
Grell grabbed his hand. "Wait."
Sebastian stopped and turned.
"Yes?" he replied with a smile.
Grell pulled his hand to rest it on his belly. "Feel." A small kick was felt beneath Sebastian's hand. Sebastian grinned.
"That is amazing," he said. Sebastian felt a sudden rush of affection and pulled Grell close. He kissed him lovingly. Grell wrapped his arms around Sebastian's neck and Sebastian could feel the baby moving and turning in Grell's belly as the two held each other. Sebastian broke the kiss after a few moments and rested his forehead against Grell's.
"I love you. Both of you," he smiled.
Grell smiled, cupping Sebastian's cheek. "We love you too, darling. Forever."
Sebastian kissed Grell again, then pulled away. He didn't want to leave now, but Grell was outgrowing his dresses and needed new ones.
"I will be back as soon as possible," Sebastian promised.
Grell humph'ed. "Fine. We'll be waiting."
Sebastian gave him and final kiss on the cheek and left. He honestly did feel bad for not allowing him to come, but it was worth it to know Grell was safe. Grell sighed and sat back on the bed, talking to his unborn child. "You sure take a lot out of me, little guy." He stood again and called MeyRin to help get dressed. Lately he needed help with almost everything.
Three months pregnant with an over-protective demon lover certainly had its disadvantages. Grell paced in front of the windows in the ballroom, Finny and MeyRin were cleaning and noticed the reaper's discomfort.
"Are you alright, mi'lady?" MeyRin inquired, coming to stand beside Grell as she polished a vase.
Grell grumbled. "Ugh, it's just not fair, MeyRin! Bassy gets to go out and I have to stay in." Grell crossed his arms and pouted. MeyRin handed the polished vase off to Finny, who filled it with flowers and water, and placed her hand on Grell's shoulder.
"Mi'Lady, you know Sebastian is just making sure you're safe, he is."
"Yes, but it's maddening being cooped up like this! He doesn't even want me to go shopping with him for my own clothes!" Grell stomps his foot, agitated.
"Aw, it's alright, Grell. He's doin' it out of love for you." Finny placed the flower-filled vase on a table and came to stand by Grell and MeyRin. Grell's mood lightened only slightly.
"True, Finny. However," Grell smiled wide, a mischievous grin playing on his lips. "Dear Bassy said nothing about me going to the garden!" Grell turned and walked as fast as his pregnant body would allow.
MeyRin and Finny smiled at each other. "It's impossible to keep 'im tied down, yes it is."
"Should I go out with him?" Finny asked the bespecled maid. MeyRin waved her hand.
"Naw, let him have some freedom from us all. Besides, he's only in the garden, yes he is. Nothin' could 'appen without us knowin'."
Grell stepped out into the garden and breathed in deeply at the fresh air.
"Finally." Grell wondered in and out of the hedges and rose bushes, running his ungloved fingers across the leaves and petals he passed. He stopped to smell a newly bloomed rose when a hand gripped him around the mouth and another held deadly black claws to his throat. Grell's eyes widened and he instinctively held his arms in front of his belly. A deep and dangerous voice spoke from behind him.
"Do as you are told, and I won't have to kill you." Grell nodded once and allowed himself to be lead into the neighboring woods.
Who is this mysterious man?! Why is he kidnapping Grell?! Next chapter coming soon. Sorry for the cliffhangers, you may all hate us now (as long as you keep reading that is. Hehe.)
