Sitting at the office desk twirling her crimson locks in her hand, Grell decided to go ahead and finish up the paperwork that was needed. She chewed on the bottom of her pen subconsciously as she stared down at the paperwork of the previous reapings. The small bumps that lined her womb began to move almost in the circular motion.
She grown from the slight pain and discomfort patting her belly. She glanced over at the clock seeing that it was almost her break time knowing that yet again, she would need to give herself a small snack to satisfy the parasites.
In a sudden turn of events, one of her children decided to park themselves close to her bladder putting pressure on it. With a groan, she got out of her seat holding on to her belly. She grabbed her new coat covering herself as best she could, walking out the door.
William walked down the hall holding his empty coffee tumbler in his hands. He noticed his subordinate trying to sneak out of her office clinging onto her coat for dear life. With his eyebrow raised he followed her keeping his distance just so she would not hear him.
"What are you doing?" She jumped up almost instantly glancing back at her supervisor. "What am I doing? You mean what are you doing?! I'm just trying to run to the bathroom like a normal person does. Who the hell sneaks up on the lady when she's trying to make her way there?"
His gaze moved down to her coat. It held rather tight around her for such a huge jacket. Without her approval, he pulled it aside revealing her stomach. His mouth dropped looking down as burning in his blood could be felt.
"What the hell have you done?" His voice was almost a whisper. She quickly covered herself looking at the horror across his face. His usual face was anger was intensifying.
The caine teeth began to extend. The tip of his ears pointed and extended. The colour of his eyes changed to the same shade as the father of her children.
She gasped covering her mouth. "W-William...you're a demon..." He stood still seeing the reflection of in her eyes. He ran passed her into his office locking the door. She pressed her back again the wall placing her hand on her chest.
William paced through his office trying his best to calm down. He took deep breaths trying his best to change his features back. He hadn't had a slip up like this in almost one hundred years.
He stood in front of the mirror watching as his features returned to normal. His emerald eyes glancing back at him as he let out a sigh. He combed his hair with his fingers fixing himself more. He stared at himself making sure the familiar stoic nature had returned before walking out the door.
Grell was pregnant with hybrid children. The idea spun around in his mind as he walked down the hallway keeping calm. He opened her office door to find her gone.
Undertaker whistled a nursery rhyme cleaning his hands of the blood from the small child behind him. 'Whopping cough...how unfortunate.'
Banging could be heard at the door causing a sour expression on his face. He walked to the front opening it. The redhead jumped inside holding her stomach protectively. "William found out...I also found out something about Will..."
He hurried her inside letting her rest in his kitchen. He made her warm milk and honey letting her relax. "I'm guessing you found our that he's demon born?"
She looked surprised for a moment before leaning on her arm. "Of course you'd know about it. How did he become a reaper?"
"He wanted a different life. Said he wasn't meant to be a demon. That his parents cursed the day he was born. I have the ability to change him with the help of some unsavory resources." His expression being so serious as his voice lowered.
A shiver went through her body making the twins twist and move. She groaned holding onto her belly. He got up quickly moving to her side." What's wrong?"
"I guess they decided to get more violent with their movements. Little ones don't like seeing me like this I guess." she forced a smiled as they forced themselves right under her ribs.
He rubbed her back soothingly trying his best to relax her. He handed her back her cup trying to get her to drink. "Here you go my dear. Try to calm yourself go ahead and relax once you do."
She groaned rubbing her belly as she took deep breaths. She nodded at his comment continuing her cycle of breathing until the two infants settle down. She took the cup drinking the rest of the milk and honey.
The older reaper made his way back into the the stove area, taking the dirty dishes and washing them keeping a close eye on her. "So tell me my dear, how did the father take the news?"
"He actually took it pretty well. You can tell by the smug look on his face that he was proud of his work. We actually... ended up making love again. The thing was it wasn't out of asking for a favor. If anything, it seems so natural, so wanted between the two of us."
Her eyes looked upon the floor thinking of their session at the townhouse. It was fantastic as always, it was just more passionate, more gentle. He move closer to her raising her face with his index finger. Their eyes met as he looked like he could read her soul.
"It really does sound like he's grown fond of you my dear. Maybe there's hope in a possible relationship? Or maybe it's just an old man taking situations and twisting them for his own amusement." He patted her head having her relax back onto her chair.
Her heart stung hearing him. Her hands rested in her stomach thinking about it. "I honestly think he's using the excuse to have me as something to release his frustration on. At the same time, he's been acting better. The truth is, I can't tell if it's genuine or part of the butler act."
"Only with time. Then will we be able to see a true answer...that or just ask him." She stayed silent not wanting to think of Sebastian's answer. She sat up having a shock going through her body.
Undertaker crouched down next her holding her hand. "What's wrong my dear?!" She grunted not able to firm words from the pain. He picked her up taking her to his embalming room laying her on the table. He grabbed his stethoscope peeling her uniform aside listening to her stomach.
The twins seemed to be getting more violent with each passing minute. "You still have a month to go...I have to get the father, maybe it has something to do with his genetics."
Sebastian shuffled through paperwork with the schedule that his young master would be following for the next three weeks while away from the manor. His eyes moved off the paper as the reaper appeared from a portal at the other side of the room.
"What's the occasion? It must be special for you to appear like that." He placed everything down moving closer to him. "It's Grell. The children seem to be causing her great distress. She still has a little while to wait on so it has to deal with your part in this. Come with me."
Before Sebastian could appose, he was dragged through the portal. Grell clawed at the table trying to sit up. She spotted then through blurry vision as tears ran down her cheeks. Undertaker ran back to her side trying to sooth her.
The red hue returned to his eyes scanning her form. His eyes widened moving closer to them. "You need to hold her still. I need to do something that'll calm them, however, it'll hurt her for the time being."
The older man nodded holding her down. "It'll be okay my dear." He grabbed a clean cloth stuffing it into her mouth so she wouldn't bite her tongue. With that, Sebastian extended his fangs biting into his arm. He exposed her stomach rubbing his blood across it. The children jerked inside her making her scream. Undertaker held her with all his strength as he watched the skin moved. It looked like the small limps were pressing outward.
She passed out in his arms having the skin along her stomach going back to normal. He let her rest looking at him with concern across his features. "What happened? What caused this?"
"Normally, demons consume blood to sooth our young. However, I don't know the effects of her doing so will be. We drink at least two to three pints a day. I'm sure that would end up making her ill instead. My blood is making more of a seal to keep them from desiring it. They'll continue to grow normally without pestering her."
He turned his attention to them licking the wound to heal it. Undertaker nodded moving closer to him. "Her superior knows now of them. I'll be making arrangements to have her leave without being reprimanded by the society."
Sebastian glanced at Grell feeling a tug at his heart. He showed no sign of it at all. "Tell me once you do. I do want to see them be born. Their mine after all." He gave him a bow leaving the two alone.
