"Come on Mommy, we have to go to Daddy now. He will be so happy." Rachel said as the child pulled Ciel forward.
Ciel couldn't stop smiling, the children's excitement as they made their way to Sebastian was the most excited he had seen them. They walked by his side proudly, each on grinning,showing off their little fangs. Sebastian watched as they came closer, he shook his head in amusement as Rachel, in her happiness began to skip in circles around her mother and siblings. The guests chuckled lightly.
"Mommy, are they laughing at me?" She said suddenly stopping.
"No, Sometimes people laugh when they see something cute. I'm not sure why it happens that way but it does." Ciel explained.
"They like me?"
"Yes, in fact, a lot of them love you very much."
"Like Grandma Rachel and grandpa Vincent?"
"Among others yes."
"I love them too!" The group was nearly to Sebastian and the king when all four children waved to their father and shouted out a warm greeting.
"Daddy, we are walking to you with Mommy, isn't that a happy thing?"
"Yes Rachel, it's very happy." He replied as they reached him. Angelina and Kathryn looked on from where they lay beside their father.
"Dad, we came to you and Mum came with us!" Rowan beamed.
"Yes, thank you for bringing your mother with you, I would look very silly standing here all by myself."
"Do not worry Daddy, Mommy will not let you be all by yourself, right mommy?"
"Not ever." Ciel promised, his children cheered. The guests let out a soft "aww" and Sebastian turned to them.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the seven demons surrounding me are worth more to me than anything in existence. Which is what brings us here today. I will make an eternal promise to them all with every intension of keeping it. They are my treasure. Surely you can see why." Sebastian said
" really loves his family." Finny whispered to Mey-Rin and Bard."
"It's so sweet,after all this time, The young master and Mr. Sebastian still love each other so much,yes they do."
"Kinda gets to ya." Bard sighed.
"Ho,ho,ho."
The devil cleared his throat.
"Ladies and gentlemen,friends and family,we come together on this day to celebrate my Son and his family, the heirs to my kingdom." His deep voice called loudly.
"It was clear to me from the very moment Sebastian spoke of Ciel to me,that a bonding ceremony was inevitable. When Ciel stood before me for the first time,and I asked him several questions,I found myself intrigued by the answers. One in particular. He had mentioned on that day that my son had been all that stood between him and death,but that I should never think he would not do the same. I believed him and he's proven no less. He has gone so far as to go against me to protect his family and and for that I am grateful and I bow to his loyalty and the strength he has shown." Having said this, the devil bent briefly, leaving everyone stunned.
"I bring this up because on this, my Son's anniversary,the day they have chosen to again pledge their love to each other, I give my full blessing for a bright eternity and an everlasting love. I did not give this the first time around and so that time has come." The guest clapped.
"Now, we begin. As I understand it, Sebastian and Ciel have again written their own vows, Sebastian,my son. We will start with you."
"Yay,Dad wrote something for mum" Rowan grinned.
"Yes, I have. Ciel,my treasure, I swore to you on our bonding day that I would love you always, that has not changed. I know that it gets difficult for you at times and I promise you that with this new start, You will always know that you and our children are my first priority. You have given me more than you can imagine. I want you at my side forever, I need you in my life for without you, I would not have the strength to stand let alone live. You are my love., my light,and my heart. Before you, my days were empty and my nights far too long. Now, my days are filled with love and an incredible sense of joy, I look forward to spending my eternity with you, I love you so much. I promise to always love and care for you to be your anchor and hold you above the deep sadness that plagues you from time to time. Say the word Ciel, and I will move Heaven and Earth for you." Ciel reached out and touched Sebastian's cheek softly. The older demon leaned into his mate's palm.
"Ciel, please present your vows." The devil growled softly.
"You know I love you, and not a day goes by that I don't need or want you,even if I'm angry. I would never ask you to move Heaven or Earth to prove that you love me. You prove it every day in small ways. Taking care of the children so I can have some time alone, going to great lengths just to make me feel better. You're exactly what I want in someone to share my life with. You go out of your way to keep me happy and it's not easy to do that. I promise you that I'll never leave you,You're a great father, and although we both tease each other, there's no love lost. No matter how difficult things get, I'll work through it with you. Thank you,for everything you do and everything you are. I love you too." Ciel was suddenly pulled into a hug by his mate who held him close.
"Never forget how important you are my love." Sebastian whispered before releasing him.
"Very well, Sebastian, do you take Ciel as your mate for all eternity, in good times as well as bad, do you swear to honor and give him your undivided loyalty, to obey and-" Sebastian looked at his father while Ciel smirked.
"You like your little jokes don't you Ciel?"
"Once in a while." His mate replied.
"Then hear me when I say, if it is obedience you want, you take hold of the reigns and never let go, if this is what will keep you with me I will do as you wish."
"It wouldn't. You being who you are, that will. I only want you Sebastian we already have a butler, I need my mate more."
"You will always have me. I will."
"Ciel, will you in turn promise to love Sebastian and give him your loyalty and love, in good and bad times, to honor and allow Sebastian to take you out and to allow him to take part in one of his favorite activities of taking care of you?"
"Really Sebastian?"
"Really."
"I will."
"Good, I'm happy that you finally gave in." Sebastian said.
"I haven't given in...i just changed my mind." The children giggled.
"Then Sebastian, if you would please place the ring on Ciel." Evian reached into his pocket and pulled out the box.
"Here it is Dad, I have it." He gave it to Sebastian and stepped back.
"Thank you Evian." He opened the lid and took out the golden ring, a ruby cut in the shape of a heart and surrounded by six small diamonds soon found its way to Ciel's fingers, behind it sat the original ring.
"I promised you would keep it I haven't forgotten."
"Thank you."
"Now then, as King of Hell, it gives me great pleasure to present to you, Sebastian and Ciel Michaelis,who are now and forever joined at the heart, Sebastian my son, you may kiss your mate." Sebastian didn't need told twice. He pulled Ciel close and kissed him lovingly as the guests cheered.
"One more moment please, before you all go and enjoy the reception, We have one more thing to do." The devil shouted hoping to be heard above the noise. The guests became quiet.
"Children, stand before your parents please."
"Yes Grandfather." Four voices called in unison as they did what they were told.
"your parents have a surprise for you." The devil said nodding to Sebastian and Ciel. They kneeled to the children and Ciel began to speak.
"You've said to me that you're afraid of not having a family,that I won't be you're mother or your father won't be anymore. Sometimes your father and I have days that are hard for us,we might be angry with each other but we will never ever stop loving any of you. I'm going to tell you in front of everyone here that no matter what happens,I love you all and nothing will ever take that away. Whether I'm angry at your father or not, I will never stop being your mother and I will never ever regret it, you're my babies I will always want you and protect you. You'll never have to worry about being alone or wonder if I love you."
Cynna brought up a small bag and handed it to Ciel after taking out a black box and giving it to Sebastian. Ciel pulled out four gold necklaces and gave one to each of the children.
"In case you ever feel worried about it, I want you to look at this and I've got this little charm to put on them, if you look at it, you can see that each one is a heart, on the front it say "Love Always, but it's you turn it, you'll see that it says, I promise. This is my promise to you that you're always going to be my babies and I'll always be your mother, no matter what you do or where you are." Ciel slipped the charm onto each chain as the children smiled.
"This is so happy Brothers, mommy does not forget promises. We will always be mommy and daddy's babies." Rachel sniffled as tears of happiness fell from her eyes.
"I am so happy you did this for us." Vincent said as Ciel attached one of the hearts to his chain.
"Even me. Mum, I get it too?" Ciel added the pendant before placing a hand under Rowan's chin, forcing the boy to look into his eyes.
"Rowan, you are my son, never doubt that. I love you very much. Do you understand?" Rowan nodded.
"I will know forever Mum."
"That's my boy." Ciel kissed his head before moving on to Evian.
"You are the best Mama in the world. I am happy to be your baby Evian."
"And I'm happy to have you." Ciel stood up and Sebastian addressed them.
"My dear ones, you all bring me such joy and pride. As your mother stated, there will be times when he and I are upset but I will not love you any less. Each of you is a gift and your mother and I cannot tell you enough how precious you are to us, I also have a promise to give I am your father and I will never abandon you. Even when you've grown, should you need anything, you will only ever need one of two words, Mother or father and we will be right there for you. My love for you is unconditional, this means that I will love you no matter what. I will not say such things as "I love you as long as you listen" or "I only love you when you are doing well." Sebastian slipped a pendant onto each necklace and placed it one on each child, the Michaelis children beamed with pride.
"Remember always that you are loved, for this we promise. We will always be your mother and father no matter what goes on between the two of us, we will do our best to to be there for you all." Sebastian and Ciel gave each child a hug.
"Does this mean we are a forever family?" Vincent asked.
"Yes." Ciel answered.
"How do you know Mommy?" Before Ciel could reply, the devil spoke.
"Young ones, your parents have made a solemn vow in my presence, and in front of family and friends,In return, what will you say?"
"I'll be the very best Rowan I can and love mum and dad and my brothers and sisters a lot forever."
"I will be a good baby Rachel, and love my family even when I am big like daddy. I promise to give mommy and daddy big hugs everyday. I will be a very good sister Rachel."
"I will be a nice Vincent and I will be a good brother and a good baby for mommy and dad. I will never hurt them or anything because I love them very much.I love my brothers and sisters too!"
"Mama, Dad, you are the best ones to take care of us. You will be there for us, I know this. I will be there for you too, when I get big, I will always help keep you safe and my brothers and sisters too. I am happy to have them and you Mama for wanting us and hugging us when we cry. Thank you dad for loving mama enough to make him better when he is not happy and for playing with us. I am happy to be your Evian."
"Then, as your king, I present you all to the guests as The Michaelis family, this means children, that you are now and forever bonded as a family and no one will ever break that bond." The children cheered along with the guests.
"What about our babies mommy?" Rachel asked with concern.
"When they grow, we have one for each of them, but they're too small to wear them now."Ciel explained.
Ciel and Sebastian stood up, the four eldest walked with Ciel as Sebastian took the infant girls. During the reception, The family was approached by each guest, and the party began.
"Daddy,daddy, will you please do the pretty princess Rachel dance?" Sebastian looked to Ciel.
"Go on, it's not polite to refuse."
"It will hurt my little heart Daddy." Rachel placed a small clawed hand to her chest.
"We certainly couldn't allow that, My dear princess, will you join me for a dance?' The girl smiled again exposing small fangs.
"Yes, I like that, you are a good daddy." Ciel made it a point to have the two pose for a photo.
"That wasn't so bad this time around was it?" Alois asked.
" it was perfect."
"It was a good idea to get those necklaces for them."
"Was the I now pronoun you the Michaelis family thing-"
"No. It wasn't planned. We were just going to give them the necklaces. I'll give the devil some credit, it really made the children feel included.
"I hope I can be a good mother to Lenora like you are with your children." Alois admitted.
"You can be. I know before Hannah you hadn't had a mother for a while, so you should have some idea of what you wanted from one or what you don't be the mother you wanted for yourself and Luca."
"Mommy, I dances with Daddy, it was fun and Daddy says when I get married, he will dance with me at my princess Rachel wedding, but I am not allowed to get married until I am older than Grandfather and Grandmother and Daddy all added together." Alois did his best to hide his amusement.
"He forgot to add Hannah and your father's friends."
"Oh my, that is a lot of adding, I cannot add it all by myself!' Rachel lifted her into his arm and held her tight. Her little arms held onto him.
"We'll let you know, but until then, let's just focus on right now alright?"
"Okay mommy. I will just be me, little Rachel Ann for a long time, I like to be little me."
"Good."
"There is nothing in the world as heartwarming as a mother and child showing their affection. Unless of course all six children are involved." Sebastian said leading the boys over to Ciel.
"I would very much like to add a photo of our family to our beautiful memories at home." Sebastian moved behind the children making them turn to face Cynna who held the camera. Rachel stood next to Vincent and Sebastian handed Angelina to Ciel before picking Kathryn up from her bassinet.
"I want to see your best smiles children, then be very still until Cynna tells you to move. " Sebastian instructed .
"Smile please." Cynna said and the family didn't need told twice. After ten seconds, they were told that they could move again.
"Ciel, it was such a beautiful wedding, thank you for inviting me." Lizzy said happily.
"We couldn't have done it without you. I'm glad you're here with us."
"When was the Las time you two had a photo taken where you were both happy?" Sebastian asked.
"When we were little I suppose."
"why not have a more recent one?"
"Ciel is that okay?" Lizzy hoped he would agree.
"I don't see a reason not to." Ciel gave his daughter to his mate and sat down with Lizzy both smiling at the camera.
After the photos were taken, Soma and Agni found their way over.
"I don't know how you do it Ciel, Sebastian's father is frightening." Soma shivered at the thought.
"He's not all that bad.I can be worse."
"I don't believe that,he is such a large creature and I would never be able to handle that every day even with Agni at my side."
Ciel smirked.
"Then I wouldn't turn around if I were you." Soma's face paled as the king's feet made a clacking sound from behind.
"I think Agno and I will just go over this way, very nice ceremony, come Agni.' The two men rushed off.
"Excitable fellows are they not?" The devil growled.
"Sometimes. I've never actually seen them run like thank before though."
"Well, I only wish to thank you for all you have given my son. I am indebted to you."
"Excuse me father, but as my darling Ciel seems in good spirits, I must take the opportunity to ask-"
"Mommy, can we please eat the cake now?"Vincent called.
"You have to ask for help."
"I will take them. Come young ones." The king said leading the children away.
"What did you want to ask me?"
"I believe I already have my answer however, if I don't try, well, my love, would you dance with me?" Sebastian held out his hand..
"You know I'm not good at dancing."
"You've improved quite a bit."
"What about the Angel and Kathryn?"
"I can sit here for a while." Alois offered. Ciel took a moment to think about it.
"Alright Sebastian, just this once because it's a special occasion." He placed his hand in his mate's and allowed him to pull him onto the dance floor.
AN: This is it. I already miss this family. I know it's strange to miss fictional people but I was sort of attached to them. Anyway, thank you for sharing them with me. This is sadly where I leave them. I had a couple more ideas but I don't want to over do it, there's already many stories about them. Again thank you for your support and reviews. I'm so happy that you enjoyed them.
