Hello again, my dears. My exams are days away and I am not positive that I will pass one of them so please wish me the best of luck. It's very stressing for me. I am actually kinda tired right now. I know that I have started updating less frequently and I apologize for that. But school is going to be over next week so I will have more time to write and brainstorm with my co writer.

Sebastian: Cookie doesn't own Kuroshitsuji or its characters.

Me: Sure don't.

WARNING: SLIGHTLY OOC CIEL AND NIGHTMARE FUEL IS EVIDENT.

Mating Season

Dreams I cannot awaken

Ciel's POV

Sebastian soon tucked me into bed insisting that I needed rest. Which I honestly couldn't disagree with. I watched as he closed the curtains, kissed my forehead, and then left the room. Now, I laid in silence. I shifted to my side in my enormous bed and closed my eyes, waiting patiently for unconsciousness to wash over me. I felt like I was laying there for hours until I finally drifted into nothingness.

It seemed like I had only been sleeping for a few minutes when my eyes flew open at the sound of an ear piercing scream. I looked around frantically and flinched when I heard another scream. I got up out of my bed and ran to my door. The second I opened it, the smell of blood hung in the air and filled my nose. I walked out and into a blood spattered hall. My eyes widened at the sound of another cry. I dashed down the hall, the blood on the floor coloring my feet a deep crimson. I came across a door left slightly open.

With a trembling hand, I pushed the door open and saw a man in long black robes slashing off the heads of my beloved parents. He held them up and started laughing maniacally. I caught his eye and he started slowly making his way to me. I began running away but found that I was moving slower than before. I look down to see that the blood on the floor had risen to my ankles and was continuing to rise. With all of my effort, I made it to my room which still remained clean and unstained. I shut the door behind me and slid to the floor. I curled up into a ball and felt warm tears run down my cheeks.

A noise suddenly came from my closet. My head darted up at the door. Fearing for my life, I made my way over to the door and turned the knob. Almost immediately, a large figure fell from out of the closet. I looked down and, to my horror, saw it was Sebastian. He was covered in blood from head to toe and his long black tailcoat was missing. His sleeves were rolled up and had several cuts on them. I saw his neck was slit many times as well. Falling to my knees, I laid my head on Sebastian's bloodied chest and began to sob. I breathed in his sweet scent that was mixed with the foul stench of blood.

The door burst open and the robed man stood there with my parents' heads still in his hands. I cried out and dashed over into a corner, cowering in fear.

The darkness closed in around me and when I opened my eyes, I found myself back in my bed. I looked at my clock and saw it was 1:46 am. My eyes darted over to the closet. I eased myself up out of bed and cautiously walked over to the door. I turned the knob and opened the closet to find it empty. I breathed a huge sigh of relief and closed the door. I went back over to my bed and sat down. My head was still going through my horrendous nightmare over and over again, as if on a broken record. I shook my head attempting to get rid of the chilling thoughts and laid back down on my bed. My eyes traveled down to my stomach where my only source of comfort seemed to reside. I rested my hand on my stomach and felt what seemed to be fingers brush against it, as if letting me know that they were safe. I smiled slightly and closed my eyes once more. I prayed to myself that no more nightmares would lurk my sleep.

Sebastian and I were in a local candy shop, I was browsing the candy with Sebastian close behind me. This was one of my favorites because all the candy was on shelves of my height. Some shops have candy up on higher shelves that I cannot reach. I finally came across the sweet I desired. I grabbed it and turned around to Sebastian only to find the butler absent. I glanced around the small store and saw no sign of him. It was then that I saw Sebastian outside the store, walking to the carriage.

I ran over to the door only to find it locked from the outside. I banged on the large glass window shouting Sebastian's name. He didn't turn around but instead got into the driver's seat of the carriage and rode away. I screamed as the coach got farther and farther away. I turned around to find the candy shop empty of people. I was completely alone. I spun back to the window to see people walking by taking no notice of my presence. Frustrated, I began knocking jars of candy of the shelves, in hopes that someone would come find me. Throwing candy on the ground and kicking things in anger and frustration was proven to be ineffective. I once again tried to open the door but it wouldn't budge. I grabbed a glass jar of candy and smashed it against the window. The glass shattered instantly and a shard became lodged into my throat. I fell onto the floor writhing in pain as the blood seeped from my neck.

My eyes flew open and I found myself to be in my room again. I glanced at the clock which now read 3:12. I massaged my temple and figured it was another pointless dream. I began to wonder why exactly I was having such bizarre dreams. It was extremely confusing. It surprised me that Sebastian hadn't come in to check on me. I took a deep breath and got up out of bed. I walked over to the window and opened it. Breathing in the cool nighttime air, I tried to calm myself down. Sitting on the windowsill, I looked outside at the moon, shining brightly in all its glory. My hand rested on my swollen abdomen. The gentle wind blowing against me soothed my entire being. It was times like this that I longed for: complete silence, soothing atmosphere, I just wanted some time to be alone. I can fully grasp the world in its entirety.

Now that I was relaxed, I stood up and went back over to my bed. I was still extremely tired, and though I knew a dream or nightmare was probably going to occur, I wanted some form of sleep. Crawling back into bed, I let myself slip into unconsciousness once more.

This time, I awoke to find my surroundings to be interesting. It was almost like I was in the very sky that I was gazing into not too long ago. I looked around and noticed two small children standing before me, a boy and a girl. I blinked a few times to make sure that it wasn't just an illusion. When they still remained in front of me, I spoke.

"Who are you?"

The two looked at each other with a matching smile on their faces.

The boy, who had bluish gray hair, spoke up first, "Do you really not recognize us?"

"I don't believe so, I'm sorry." I apologized to them.

The girl, with long black curly locks, giggled, "That's interesting to hear."

I looked deep into their piercing red eyes, "Where did you come from?"

"Well…" the boy said.

"If you want to know…" the girl continued.

They walked up to me and wrapped their arms around my slim waist.

"What are you…?" I began but then stopped when I looked at them both. And then it hit me.

The girl smiled, revealing a unique set of fangs, and patted her hand on my stomach, "We came from here."

I saw their smiling faces and couldn't hold back tears.

The boy smiled too, although no fangs were present, "You're our mommy."

For the first time in a long time, the tears running down my face were tears of happiness. My children. These were my children. I smiled and bent down to hug them.

My daughter giggled again, "So you do remember us mommy?"

I chuckled and pulled them closer, "Of course I do."

I never thought I would be called "Mommy" in my life, but it makes me feel like I've never felt before: wanted, loved, adored, and the feeling of having family again.

Pulling away from the hug, I looked at both of them lovingly, "You two are beautiful."

"Would you like to know our names?" my son asked.

That's when I realized, Sebastian and I hadn't discussed names yet. With everything else going on, it never really came up, "Sure."

Stepping back a bit, my daughter curtsied, "My name is Cordelia."

My son stepped back also and bowed slightly, "Mine is Anthony."

Almost immediately after he said that, my vision began to get blurry. The last thing I heard was my children saying, "Bye mommy." And then there was nothing but darkness.

I opened my eyes slightly when light came into my room. I saw that it was Sebastian drawing the curtains. I noticed the tray with tea and scones on it, as well as the newspaper.

"Did the master have a nice sleep?" Sebastian asked in his usual manner.

I ran a hand through my messy hair, "Not exactly."

Sebastian turned and looked at me with interest, "Oh? And what disrupted your sleep last night?"

"My slumber was filled with dreams and nightmares. Strange ones." I said as I was given my tea.

"Peculiar." Sebastian spoke in an amused tone, "And what were these dreams about?"

I took a small bite of a scone, "Well the first two I don't really want to talk about." I shuddered inwardly at the thought of them, "But the last one was very fascinating. You might be interested in hearing about it, Sebastian."

The butler took my empty cup and set it on the tray, "Is that so?"

"Yes." I said as I motioned for Sebastian to take a seat on the bed, "I got to see our children."

I noticed the demon's eyes light up at my words, "Really? What were they like?"

"Well, they both had red eyes. Our son had hair that looked like mine, and our daughter had long curly black hair. They were beautiful. They even told me their names." I told him.

Sebastian's POV

I wrapped my arm around him, interested to hear more, "What were their names?"

Ciel rested his head on my shoulder, "I only got their first names. They were Cordelia and Anthony."

I smiled, "Those are beautiful names."

When he was about to say something back, someone knocked on the door. I sighed and got up to answer it. I opened up the door to see Maylene, "Yes, what is it?"

"Um…well, please forgive my intrusion but the young master has a visitor." She stuttered out.

I nodded, "I understand, I will inform him at once." I closed the door and turned to face the young boy.

"What was that about?" Ciel asked curiously.

I smirked, "It appears you have a visitor."

Within seconds, I dressed him and got him downstairs. When we reached the parlor where the guest was located. And who was waiting there?

"Why hello there, Earl Phantomhive. I see you've been busy." Chuckled the silver haired man known as none other than the…

"Undertaker." Ciel muttered.

Oh my god *collapses in exhaustion* I'm so glad this is finished. This was kinda hard to write. Also the twins' first names have been revealed! YAY! This wasn't exactly what I had discussed with my co writer but by the last few sentences, she should know that what we discussed is soon to follow. I'm sorry if this confused any of you in any way. I hoped you all enjoyed it! It's over 2,000 words which is impressive. And it takes a lot out of me.

Well, I will spend a majority of this weekend reading your reviews and studying like hell for my exams. Again, wish me luck! I'm gonna need it.
