"Nervous?"

I looked down at Millie who was fixing a hem on the long black lace dress I wore. It had a structured bodice with cap sleeves and a long a-line skirt. Under it I wore a pair of black flats and my hair fell around my shoulders.

"A little." I smiled down at her.

It had been a month since the Hunters had come and tonight was Ciel and I's mating ceremony. Outside the sun had already gone down and at the stroke of midnight, when it was officially Halloween, the ceremony would start. Sebastian was going to perform it since he was the only person we knew that could do so. Millie was helping me get ready.

"Well I don't think anyone is better for him than you. You're both so adorable together!" Millie gushed as she fixed the hem and stood up.

"Thanks." I grinned.

"So….do you have your surprise ready for the Master?" Millie asked as she stood behind me pinning the long black veil amongst the curls she'd helped me set my hair into.

I sighed and looked at the small black box with the dark blue ribbon that sat on my dresser. Just looking at it made me nervous. I hoped Ciel wouldn't freak out when he saw what it was.

"I think I am." I replied.

"Well I'm sure he'll be more than happy. How could he not be?!" Millie asked as she stood in front of the mirror fixing her dark red hair. She wore a long silk black dress with a halter neck.

Suddenly my stomach began to churn. I quickly sat down took big gulping breaths.

"Are you alright?" Millie asked hurrying over, her eyes wide with worry.

I nodded, "I'll be fine. I think it's just nerves."

Millie smiled gently at me and took my hand.

"I've never seen any pair more suited than you and The Master, Charlotte. Before you he never smiled and now I see him smile all the time! Every time you walk into the room he beams and you do the same. You're both so lucky to have found one another." she said smiling at me.

"Thanks Millie. I think I needed to hear that." I replied feeling a sense of calm wash over me.

"What are friends for?" She grinned.

There was knock on the door and after a moment Cade and Alfie stuck their heads in the door.

"Are you ladies ready?" Cade asked as the two of them walked in.

Both wore dark suits with white shirts and blue ties. Cade would be walking me down the aisle and Alfie would be escorting Millie. I suspected that Cade would've rather been walking with Millie but he had volunteered to give me away since there was no one else.

"As ready as I'm going to get." I sighed and slowly let my Demon form take over.

Millie grabbed the bouquets that were a collection of Ciel's prized Sterling Silver Roses in their natural state and dyed a beautiful and rich blue. I took the bigger of the two and we headed towards the garden.

Sebastian had done a beautiful job of decorating the garden. A long black runner trimmed with candles led the way to an arch that was woven out of hemlock branches and decorated with fairy lights. Standing under it were Ciel and Sebastian.

Sebastian wore his typical butler's uniform while Ciel was in his Demon form.. Both had small smiles playing on their lips as I walked down, Ciel's eyes locked on mine.

Finally I reached the end of the aisle and Cade placed my hand into Ciel's.

"You look beautiful." Ciel said taking my hands in his.

"You look pretty handsome yourself." I smiled.

A clock chimed 12 times in the distance marking midnight.

"Are we ready to begin?" Sebastian asked looking at us.

We both nodded and he cleared his throat and began.

"Demons are born from the darkness which is why we gather tonight under the darkest moon. Tonight I will bind the fates of you Ciel Phantomhive to you Charlotte Chancely. After tonight you will be one from here until the end of time. Do you both agree?" he asked.

"I do." we both replied in unison.

Sebastian nodded and drew a length of cord from his pocket as well as a sharp knife.

"Present your hands." he said and we both held out our left hands.

There was a quick sting as Sebastian made a cut across each of our palms which he pressed against one another before winding the cord around them. With a tight knot he pulled back.

Ciel's hand felt warm in mine which wasn't an unpleasant sensation. Sebastian began to chant in a language I thought might be Latin. I listened to him intently, trying to figure out what it was he was saying but suddenly my concentration broke as it felt like the world took a lurch. A rushing sensation filled my body making my head spin. I looked at Ciel and saw that he looked as alarmed and disoriented as I felt. I wanted to ask what was happening but before I could it was over.

Sebastian's voice died away and I looked down to see him undoing the knot in the cord. It fell away and he smiled, "The ceremony is done."

"That was it? You tied their hands together and said some words! Isn't there more?" Cade asked.

"What did you expect?" Sebastian asked looking at Cade.

"I don't know…fire and brimstone? Raising the gates of hell? Something!" Cade said with Millie and Alfie nodding behind him.

"Not everything that involves demons is so theatrical. Now…I believe that there is the matter of the celebration dinner to attend to. Come." Sebastian said and with a nod of his head he started towards the house.

"Congratulations you two." Cade smiled as he shook Ciel's hand and hugged me, Alfie following suit.

"I love you both!" Millie said half sobbing and hugged the both of us, managing to slip me the box she'd brought out with her. I quickly stashed it near the arch before Ciel could see.

"So…it's official." I smiled as I wrapped my arms around Ciel's neck as Millie hurried to join Sebastian and the others.

"Yes…yes it is. You're my mate as well as an official Phantomhive."

I jumped as the voice, his voice, echoed in my mind. My eyes went and I looked at him.

"Am I…was that…?" I asked.

He nodded, "Indeed it was. Just a perk of being mated."

I grinned and kissed him again before pulling back, "C-Can you hear me?"

"Of course I can."

"Then hear this…I love you."

A smile spread on his face, "I love you too."

Suddenly something popped up in the back of my mind.

"Is there something wrong?" Ciel asked looking at me.

"Um….I have a surprise for you." I replied.

"A surprise? What kind of surprise?" he asked with a smirk.

"Not that kind you naughty boy." I scolded before breaking away and grabbing the box.

"What's this?" he asked as he held the box.

"Open it." I replied my teeth catching my lower lip, nibbling on it out of nerves.

He undid the blue ribbon and took off the top. His brow became furrowed as he looked the little white plastic stick that lay inside.

"What is this? Is this what I think this is?" he asked his eyes wide.

I nodded, "It is."

"You mean…us…this…?" he asked.

I nodded again and walked over wrapping my arms around him, my chin on his shoulder so my lips were near his ear.

"Congratulations Ciel Phantomhive…you're going to be a Daddy."

There's going to be a baby!

Will it be a boy? Or a girl?

Maybe both?!

Hmm...
