Hiya! My life could not be better right now! I'm out of school, got a paying job, bought the latest Kuroshitsuji manga released in the US, and my friends are being retarded and silly as always. In my community theatre group, all guys (gay, bi, or straight) have to be able to be in a committed fake gay relationship with several guys. And if you have a girlfriend, they will just have to understand. It's something that has just become like an unspoken rule. But we almost always have the drama from the boys. I give you a perfect example.

Anthony (who I'm naming one of the twins after), has a baby that is due today. And we still don't know whether it belongs to Shane or Caleb. The fight for the child goes back to when we were doing Willy Wonka. Shane was the Candy Man and Caleb was Willy Wonka. And Anthony was Mr. Salt. Yeah that isn't weird at all. And Anthony has little to no prenatal care. He is the lifeguard at one of the city pools, has fallen on stage several times in the past 5 months or so, and even last night, the day before his due date, he comes to a baseball game right after a swim meet and participates in one of the games in which he falls flat on his face. Anthony says he thinks it's a girl and their naming it Melody. Of course all of it is just play and messing around. But we love the drama that is unleashed because of it. I love Anthony to death (which is partly why I'm naming one of the twins after him) and he is an amazing guy, but he is such a man whore xD.

Okay on with the story. Now that I've talked everyone's ear off.

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

Me: This being said makes me sad.

Mating Season

The truth comes out

Sebastian's POV

Still trying to get over the bizarre vision I just had, I went into Ciel's room to find him fast asleep. I scanned over his sleeping figure. Not a scratch or burn spot to be found. I was also relieved to see the twins safe and sound where they were supposed to be. I had a weak moment but I wasn't going to let Ciel see it. He mustn't know of the grim future that may be ahead of him.

"My lord." I said putting my hand on his shoulder, "It is time to get up."

Ciel merely shifted some and resumed his slumber. I sighed. What was something I hadn't tried yet? What can I do to really jar him? Let me see how I can get the boy sweating. Of course. It was just that simple. Or perhaps, just that sinful.

I leaned over near his ear and whispered, "Time to get up, Ciel." I spoke the last part in a low growl as I proceeded to nibble on his ear a bit.

Almost as if a button had been pushed, Ciel shot up in a second and smacked me across the face.

"Do not call me by my first name, EVER." Ciel spat.

I purred in amusement, "Of course. My deepest apologies, my lord."

Ciel glared at me, "Hmph, have you brought me my tea?"

I bowed slightly, "I regret to say that I have not."

The boy rubbed his head and fell back onto the bed, "Then wake me when you have."

I sighed and decided to do something a bit more…what was the word they used for it? Risqué.

Being rather bold, I slipped my hand under the covers and grabbed Ciel's member rather tightly. A squeak was emitted from the owner of the abused member and I quickly drew my hand away. Ciel bolted back up with a deep blush coloring his pale face.

"Are you willing to listen now?" I asked with a giant smirk plastered on my face.

A hand met my face as I was slapped again harder than before.

The young teen was still blushing profusely, "You BASTARD! You are never supposed to touch me in such inappropriate places!"

I could barely suppress a chuckle at the flushed teen's reaction, "I'm sorry, young master but you must get up."

"What is it?" Ciel groaned in annoyance.

"The queen sent you a message yesterday but you seemed a tad occupied so I didn't say anything."

"What?" Ciel snapped, "Why didn't you tell me anyway?"

I closed my eyes in slight annoyance and pulled out the letter from my inner coat pocket. I set it in his lap, or at least what was left of it.

Ciel's POV

I picked up the envelope that was dropped into my lap. After opening it up, I read what the letter enclosed.

Dear Earl Phantomhive,

I know you have been through an awful lot lately. But I wish to speak to you in person about a very important matter. It involves your butler so I wish for you to bring him too. Thank you for your dedication as my watchdog. It makes me happy knowing that you will always be loyal to me.

Her Majesty,
Queen Victoria

I folded the letter and placed it beside me.

"Well what did it say?" Sebastian asked.

I rubbed my head where I was getting a bit dizzy, "She said she wants to talk to me personally. And she wants you to be there as well."

"I will always be by the young master's side." He said a little too proudly.

I rolled my eyes, "Yes yes I know. Now come, I want to get there as soon as possible."

Sebastian helped me up and began to dress me, "My lord, how exactly are you going to explain you abdominal growth to the Queen?"

Knowing what he was inquiring, I scoffed, "I'll think of something. Besides, I'm not that big."

"Yes but compared to your normally slim figure, this is a significant change." Sebastian said poking my stomach.

I hesitated for a few minutes trying to think of something that could possibly make me look any slimmer, "Sebastian, did Miss Nina make me any maternity clothes that were entirely black?"

Sebastian went over and looked around in my closet, "Yes there is one."

"I've heard black can be slimming so that may be my only option." I said as Sebastian began putting the outfit on me.

Once it was on, my butler fetched a mirror and placed it in front of me. I still looked pregnant but it was less noticeable than before, "If only these two knew how much trouble they were causing."

Sebastian smiled, "Shall I prepare the carriage, my lord?"

I nodded and shooed him away, "Yes yes, you are excused."

When I heard the door click shut, I walked over to my closet and sifted through the different outfits. I got out my long black cloak and hat and slipped it on. After looking at myself in the mirror again, the curves were even more hidden. I smiled, this just might work. Plus the 3 ½ inch boots I was wearing helped too. Pleased with my appearance, I made my way down the stairs and out to the carriage.

"Are you ready, my lord?" Sebastian said holding his hand out.

I took his hand and sighed, "Yes. Let's get this over with. I'm still feeling a bit dizzy."

Sebastian smiled and helped me into the carriage. He shut the door and proceeded to get into the drivers seat. The ride was silent as usual. I was almost about to fall asleep when we had arrived.

The door opened and my butler was still smiling as he led me out of the carriage and up the steps to her majesty's palace. The guards showed us into a private room where she was sitting there waiting for us.

"Hello Earl, and your butler." She said in her elderly voice.

I bowed slightly, "Greetings, your majesty. My apologies, we would have been here sooner except I didn't receive the letter until this morning." I glared at the tall man beside me.

She smiled, "Oh that's alright. You are here now. Let me get to the point. First off, what is your butler's name?"

"Sebastian Michaelis." I said motioning my hand toward the demon.

"Okay." The queen continued, "Well there have been some rumors going around London and a few just recently reached me. I was wondering if you could tell me whether they are true or false."

I noticed Sebastian flinch at her words and looked at him oddly, "Um, sure."

She nodded and took out a sheet of paper, "The first one I heard was that your butler is a demon. Is that so?"

I feigned a look of confusion and chuckled, "Most certainly not your majesty."

"Are you and your butler in any sort of intimate relationship?" She asked.

I was starting to wonder how people knew these things, "No. That sounds absolutely absurd. Who would get those types of ideas?"

The queen smiled, "This one I doubt would be true but I just want your approval. Someone said that you were pregnant."

I saw that Sebastian was looking more and more worried at each question. I would have to ask him about that later, "That's not possible."

Almost as if on cue, I got a sharp pain on my side. I tried as hard as I could to hide my pained expression.

"Do you know who started these rumors?" I asked trying to take my mind off the pain.

She thought for a minute, "I do believe we questioned some people and a name that was repeatedly coming up was Lau."

My eyes widened, "Lau?"

"Yes. Do you know him?" She asked.

I nodded, "He's a business partner of mine."

I could tell the pain was not going to subside any time soon. I gritted my teeth and prayed that she wouldn't ask me what was wrong.

"Oh, I see." She said understandingly.

Sebastian finally took notice of the pain I was in and whispered in my ear, "Are you alright, my lord?"

I glared at him, "Does it look like I'm alright? Make up a reason for us to leave."

As Sebastian turned to say something to the queen, the dizziness I had felt earlier was coming back. My head was pounding and my legs were shaking. I was feeling more and more lightheaded. Finally my knees buckled under me and I fell onto the floor and blacked out.

5 hours later

I slowly opened my eyes and noticed my new surroundings. I was back at the manor in my bed. I rubbed my head and saw Sebastian come strolling in with a tray of sweets.

"Ah, young master. You have awoken." He greeted me.

I rubbed my eyes, "What happened?"

Sebastian stopped when he was beside my bed, "You passed out."

I nodded, "That reminds me, why did you look so worried when the queen was talking to us?"

The man shrugged, "No reason. I don't remember being worried actually."

"Sebastian?" I said as he placed one of the sweets in front of me.

"Yes?"

"What is really happening inside of me?" I asked quietly.

Sebastian raised an eyebrow, "You're carrying demon twins of course."

I dropped my fork on my plate rather loudly, "No. That isn't what I meant. What is really happening inside of me, Sebastian?"

The demon sighed and sat down on the bed, "I knew this would happen."

I tilted my head, "What would happen?"

"I knew that eventually you would want to know what was really happening inside you. It's true that you are carrying the twins. But that's exactly the problem. Since there are two, it makes the chances of surviving even more slim." He said in slight remorse.

My blood went cold at his words, "Chances or surviving? You're saying I might die?"

Sebastian stood up and stared out the window, "That's why when I discovered you were carrying twins, I had to leave the room for a minute. It meant you were going to undergo more pain than you ever have before."

"Sebastian, what are you saying?"

"What I'm saying Ciel is..." I didn't dare correct him at this point, "the twins are killing you from the inside out."

I could feel tears brewing in my eyes, "Wh-what? How?"

He turned back to me and sat beside me. He grabbed my hand and looked at me with sorrow in his eyes, "A demon child, needs souls as food to grow. A pregnant demon normally would eat at least 3 souls a day to keep the fetus at bay. But Ciel, since you don't feed on souls, the children are taking pieces of your soul as food to grow. When you had false labor pains a few days ago, it was because the children were feeding on your soul. When I kissed you, I gave them the remains of souls I have had so that they could feed on that instead of eating you away."

I lowered my head and looked down at my stomach. It was hard to believe that my very own children were trying to kill me. I blinked and warm tears streamed down my cheeks, "Is there any chance I will survive?"

Sebastian leaned over and wrapped his arms around me, I laid my head on his chest taking labored breaths. He kissed the top of my head, "I'm not sure. I hate that you're so young going through this. I apologize, Ciel. It's all my fault. I thought I could control myself but I wasn't able to. And you have to suffer for my careless actions. You didn't want any of this. Don't take any of this as your fault."

I wrapped my arms around Sebastian's waist, "Sebastian?"

"Yes, my love?"

"Don't leave me." I spoke softly.

He chuckled, "I promise you, I shall not."

Okay I'm sorry if you didn't think that was gonna end how it did. I know some of you probably thought he was going fuss everyone out. I was originally going to do that. But it didn't play out that way. It turned out that Ciel broke down. The truth hurts doesn't it? I know that feeling way too well. So I'm not gonna talk you to death anymore. Over 2,400 words is a lot to type. Of course I didn't expect it to be a long chapter. It just turned out that way. Hope you liked it!

Rachel: REVIEW SO CIEL WILL SURVIVE!

Spoiler for the next chapter: The news hits Ciel harder than he thought. Now he's in a worse mood than ever.
