"Ciel, why won't you tell me?" Lizzy pleaded, she had been with the young demon all afternoon and still he had said nothing about his unhappiness.

"There's nothing to tell, it's not something that needs announced."

"Sebastian is really sad, he thinks -"

"I know what he thinks, I've talked to him about his thoughts." Ciel informed her.

"They're wrong aren't they,his thoughts I mean."

"Of course they are. I'll always love him."

"Are you still in love with him?" Ciel sighed.

"what's that have to do with -"

"Mama!" Evian sobbed running through the room, tears streaming down his face. Ciel held the sobbing boy tight.

"Evian, what's wrong?"

"M-mama bunny!"

"What about it?"

"The puppy was playing with him and his hand is off and I am so sad. Will you make Mama Bunny better?" Evian cuddled into his mother.

"Do you have the hand?" Ciel asked gently. Evian nodded.

"My poor little boy, bring everything to me and I'll have him fixed for you." Ciel kissed the top of his sons head.

"Mama Bunny will be better soon?"

"Very soon." Ciel promised.

"Can I bring him now?"

"Of course you can. Have Tanaka get the sewing box for you, don't open it just bring it to me."

"Okay Mama." The child rushed back to his room to gather the necessary objects."

"you sew?" Lizzy asked surprised.

"Sebastian showed me in case something happened to one of the children's toys and he was with his father."

"oh, Sebastian really loves the children doesn't he?"

"He does, he's a wonderful father. The interaction between them is really sweet." Lizzy noted that Ciel was smiling faintly when talking about his family.

"You still haven't answered the question Ciel."

"what question?"

"are you still in love with him?" Sebastian listened from the hall.

"Did he ask you to ask me?"

" 's just that something's wrong and he's asked you to renew your vows several times, why won't you say yes?"

"what's the point of it, we're already mates, why do we need to go through it again?"

"It's a sweet gesture, he would marry you all over again and you're telling him that you wouldn't do the same.

"You don't understand and neither does he. Sebastian is a wonderful father,a great mate and I did chose to spend forever with him. I plan to do just that. I don't know why this is such a big issue with you Sebastian." The older demon was shocked but didn't move.

"I know you're in the hall now,maybe you'd like to come in and explain why this is so important."

"Because I love you and you deserve so much better. " Sebastian stepped into the room in his butler form,not wanting to frighten Lizzy.

"come here." Ciel demanded and his mate obeyed.

"Sit down." Again Sebastian did as he was told.

"You are overreacting. I told you before our bonding that I didn't want anything big, you agreed to as few as possible, I didn't say a damn word about the extra guests you invited. It was quiet to a point. We made it official, we can't get married twice, it's just a repeat of vows. I don't have the time or energy to do it a second time."

"you still love me then?"Ciel sighed.

"Damn it Sebastian, if you don't know, why the hell am I here?"

"Because you're an amazing mother and will not walk away from your children." Sebastian didn't bother looking at him.

"And why do we have six children?"

"Because you are much too loving to take advantage of the alternative when you become pregnant."

"That's the only reason, why would I allow myself to be in that situation?"

"So you can be a mother. It is a fulfilling job to be a parent." Ciel was clearly getting angry.

"So that's what you think of me?"

"Ciel, I don't want to lose you. You the light in my darkness, the love of my life. I fear that you are no longer in love with me, it is not uncommon for young demons to bond young only to regret it and-"

"I think it's best if I go upstairs, I can't deal with this right now ." Ciel said and left the room.

"I'm losing him, I knew it."

"Oh Sebastian, don't think that, Ciel's probably just upset that we're pushing him, give him time and see what happens." Lizzy tried to be comforting.

Evian had found Ciel on his way through the hall and the two journeyed to Ciel's bedroom where Bitter Rabbit was repaired.

"You to be careful with him Evian,Alright?"

"Okay Mana. Thank you for fixing Mama Bunny, he says it hurt him."

"Poor bunny, why don't you take him to your room and let him rest for a while?"

Evian held the stuffed rabbit carefully in his arms.

"Mama, can I ask you a question?"

"Yes."

"Why do you hate Dad?"
