Hey you guys! I am so excited to write this chapter because I know it's gonna be good. It may be short because I'm not sure just how long it will take to explain everything. We shall just see!
At my school, I entered a writing contest for the hell of it and I actually found out that I got an honorable mention! Yay! And did you see Sebastian's boots in chapter 44? DAMN those are sexy!
Anyways, I hope you enjoy this chapter!
Sebastian: Cookie doesn't own Kuroshitsuji or its characters.
Me: Sure don't. Darn shame.
Mating Season
Soma's Secret
Ciel's POV
The tears falling down my face began mixing with the raindrops that started falling not too long ago. Bystanders were leaving the scene little by little until only Sebastian and I remained.
"Bocchan." Sebastian spoke, "We should return home. You will get a cold if you continue to stay out in this weather."
I stood up and looked down at Soma. He was still but I could tell he was breathing, "We can't leave him here to die. Sebastian, take him back to the mansion with us."
The butler bowed, "Yes, my lord."
I wiped away the rest of my tears and made my way back to the carriage with Sebastian following behind me.
BACK AT THE MANSION
Soma was laid in the guest room and Sebastian proceeded to call Agni to let him know what happened. I decided to stay with Soma just in case he woke up. I looked at the two stab marks that he had on his abdomen. There was something odd about them. When I look at them, I feel a pain in my stomach. Almost a cramp feeling. It was strange but I paid it no mind.
I ran my fingers over the wounds again and Soma began to stir in his sleep. He blinked a few times before he fully opened his eyes. With a puzzled look on his face, he looked around to observe his surroundings. Then his eyes fell upon me.
"Ciel? Is that you?" Soma said a bit unsurely.
"Yes. Sebastian and I found you unconscious in an alleyway. So we brought you to the mansion to heal a little." I explained.
Soma paused for a second and then smiled, "Thanks Ciel."
I was about to say something before Agni burst through the door with Sebastian close behind.
"Prince Soma! Are you alright?!" He yelled in worry.
Soma nodded, "Yes I'm fine. Although my stomach hurts a little."
He looked down and his breath hitched when he saw the two stab wounds, "Oh no…it can't be."
Agni's worries only elevated as he rushed over to the prince's side, "What's wrong?"
Soma sniffled and wiped some tears away, "Well I guess I hafta tell everyone now."
The prince's butler looked at him weird, "Tell us what?"
"It's a bit late to tell you now Agni but…I was pregnant." Soma choked out.
My eyes widened, "What?"
Agni was just as shocked, "Why didn't you tell me?"
"I was going to but…I was on my back to tell you about it when I was jumped in an alley." Soma began, "I never saw his face but I heard his husky voice. I could tell he had smoked for years. Well, I won't go into details because it's too terrifying to speak of but when he was finished with me, he took out a knife and stabbed my abdomen twice. I immediately blacked out after that and now I'm here. I'm positive that I lost the child. I'm so sorry Agni. I shouldn't have kept something this important from you. I was scared of what you might think."
I heard all of this and was at a loss for words. But I knew there was only one thing I could do. I made a motion to let Sebastian help me out of the chair I was in. He guided me over to sit next to where Soma was laying, "Soma, I know the pain you are going through."
The prince looked up at me with confusion in his eyes, "What do you mean?"
I took his hand in mine and pressed it against my swollen stomach to which one of the twins kicked hard against, "Because…" I took a deep breath to make the pain go away faster, "I am pregnant."
Soma stared at where his hand was in awe, "Really? When were you gonna tell me about this?"
I sighed, "We meant for this to be strictly confidential. Even my servants with the exception of Sebastian don't know about it."
"Why did Sebastian know?" Agni asked.
Sebastian smirked and put his hands on my shoulders, "Because I am the father."
The couple looked at each other and back at us and smiled, "How sweet." Soma said.
But the sweet moment soon ended when I felt Sebastian's arms wrap around me tightly to pull me out of a bullet's line of fire. I stared at the bullet hole in the wall for a fraction of a second before the window shattered and several people dressed in black cloaks leaped through it. We all just stared at them in shock.
One stepped forward and lowered his hood, "I've found you my dear."
Soma gasped, "I recognize that voice! You are the one who raped me!"
"And you are still alive and kicking I see. Good. It turns out I accidentally killed the embryo inside of you. A damn shame. I've come back to fix that problem." He growled in a raspy voice.
I was clutching onto Sebastian for dear life and gripped tighter when I saw one of them notice me, "Hey Lukey. Look over there."
Lukey turned and looked at me with piercing yellow eyes, "Well well well, what do we have here?"
He walked up to where I was being held close by Sebastian, "It seems we already have someone here with something in the oven. And you look pretty far along too. You're perfect."
I sneered at him, "What do you want with my children?"
Lukey's eyes lit up, "Since you were kind enough to ask, I'll tell you. You are Ciel Phantomhive, correct? Then you should know this quite well. We were associated with the people who intended to use you as a sacrificial lamb." He looked up at Sebastian, "You should have seen him, butler. He was the most gorgeous child in the bunch. So pure and innocent. It was no wonder they saved the best for last. I unfortunately had to leave early. So I missed his sacrifice. But I heard that everyone there was killed. I'm not gonna ask who because I don't care. Anyway, I gathered more people who followed my beliefs and together we created a group almost identical to the other. The only difference is, we sacrifice newborn infants and not young boys."
"You are not taking my unborn children and sacrificing them for the sake of your petty cults!" I growled.
"Oh but we are. Take him, men!" He ordered them all.
All the men in black cloaks ran towards me.
"Sebastian!" My eye glowed under my eye patch, "Kill all of them!"
"Yes, my lord." Sebastian said obediently.
I closed my eyes as I heard screams of terror and pain that I knew all too well. After roughly 5 minutes, I felt Sebastian's breath against my ear as he spoke, "You can open your eyes now, my lord."
I did so and saw all the dead bodies covered in blood lying all over the floor, "Sebastian, make a note to clean this room later."
It had just occurred to me that Soma and Agni were in the room the whole time. I looked over to the bed and saw them both fast asleep together. I breathed a sigh of relief.
Sebastian lifted me up bridal style, "Come, Bocchan. You must rest for a while. I will prepare your lunch."
I wrapped my arms around Sebastian's neck and nuzzled into his shoulder, "Ah, okay."
He carried me up the stairs and into my bedroom. The moment I came in contact with the satin white sheets, I curled up and instantly fell asleep. The last thing I remember was Sebastian kissing me gently and whispering into my ear, "Sleep tight my love."
Sebastian's POV
After laying Ciel down for some rest, I went into the kitchen. After taking off my coat and rolling up my sleeves, I began gathering ingredients for Ciel's lunch when I heard a voice behind me.
"I thought I might find you here. You always were a good cook."
I turned around and to my surprise I saw my mother, "M-Mother?"
She smiled at me, "Yes, Lucifer?"
I noticed that she was slightly transparent, "I thought you were dead."
"I am." She said sadly, "But that doesn't mean I can't check up on my son once in a while."
I nodded, "I'm sorry for turning my back on you."
My mom shrugged, "Does it matter? I didn't come to hear my son apologize."
I raised an eyebrow, "Then why are you here?"
Lucretia smiled again, "I wanted to finally meet him."
"Him?" I asked.
"The one you love so much." She said happily.
"Ciel." I said.
She walked up and placed took my hand in hers, "Tell me honestly, Lucifer. From the bottom of your heart, do you truly love Ciel?"
I hesitated for only a second, "Of course I do."
"Then let me see the person who is carrying my grandchildren." Lucretia told me.
I led her up to Ciel's bedroom where he lay sleeping soundly. I opened the door without a sound with her close behind.
I walked up to the young boy's side, "Mother, this is Ciel Phantomhive, my mate."
She looked at him sweetly and rested a hand upon his cheek, "He's beautiful Lucifer. I am so proud of you."
I noticed my mother shifted her attention to Ciel's stomach, "And here are your unborn children. A boy and a girl, correct?"
I nodded as she continued to feel around, "They are healthy from what I can tell." She stood back up, "Is it possible that he could speak with me?"
"Of course." I said. I bent down and shook Ciel lightly. When he didn't do anything, I leaned down towards his neck and began sucking on it gently. He began to stir and finally awoke. When he realized what I was doing, he blushed deeply.
"Sebastian, what is the meaning of this?" He said sleepily. He noticed my mother, "And who is this?"
I smiled at him, "My apologies, but my mother wanted to meet you."
Ciel raised his eyebrows, "Mother?"
My mother went over and sat on his bed, "Yes. Hello Ciel. I am Lucifer's mother. I guess you call him Sebastian."
Ciel nodded slowly, "Yes that's right."
She grinned, "I want to thank you for being so kind and forgiving to my son. And thank you for being so willing to bear my grandchildren."
He rolled his eyes, "I wasn't exactly willing at first."
Lucretia got up, "Well I must be going now. I cannot stay here forever although I would like to. But I have one more thing. Lucifer, you told me you loved Ciel from the bottom of your heart, right?"
I nodded, "I did."
"May I see a sign of genuine love between you two?" She asked.
Ciel began to say something but I cut him off as I pressed my lips against his in a bruising kiss. Soon enough Ciel's eyes fluttered closed as he melted into the kiss. I could tell my mother was happy that I finally learned to love another and earn their love in return. I broke the kiss before it got too intense making Ciel whimper at the loss of contact. I turned to my mother who was smiling bigger than ever.
She hugged me, "I'm so glad you found someone you truly loved. Whether it's a human or demon, I am happy for you."
After letting go she turned to Ciel, "It's good to have finally met you, Ciel. Farewell Lucifer. I will be visiting from time to time. I love you, my son."
I watched her disappear and smiled, "Farewell Mother."
