Well, here we are again. I'll be honest I'm not entirely sure how this next chapter is going to turn out because I'm doing this pretty much with very little in mind. I hope that this will turn into something good and presentable.

I have learned that it's a bad idea to put chapter spoilers at the end of a chapter if I'm not deadest on that plot because then I feel like I have to make that happen otherwise I'll disappoint you guys. I guess that's just another flaw in my writing. Oh well, at least I've learned not to do it.

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

Me: I'm getting tired of typing that, but it must be done.

Mating Season

Second guessing

Ciel's POV

I don't think I could've been happier. I was sitting here with someone I loved. The demon I loved. It seemed unbelievable he loved me too. It almost seemed strange. If I didn't know better, I'd say Sebastian was only doing this to take up time before the contract ended.

Wait…what? That's ridiculous! Why would Sebastian do something like that? Although, he didn't seem too thrilled when I…NO! Stop it! Don't think like that! Sebastian does love me! I know he does! But maybe I should make sure.

I looked up at the man who was holding me close, "Sebastian?"

"Yes, my lord?"

So it's not "my love" anymore? Strike one.

"How important is the contract to you?" I asked deciding not to look in his eyes.

He paused. That wasn't good, "Well, it is the one thing that bonds you and me together for eternity. So it's pretty important."

Our love and our children don't count as things that bond us together? Strike two.

I chuckled nervously but tried not to show it, "What do you mean by that?"

"Because of the contract I get to devour your soul. But what I didn't expect to get out of it was to find love." Sebastian spoke smoothly.

I relaxed a little. He really did love me. What was I thinking? Sebastian not really loving me. I need to stop second-guessing everything.

"So in retrospect, the contract is what is truly important. The love and children are just extra."

Strike three, you're out. He did not just say that. Please tell me he didn't just say that. Ugh, my head was spinning in circles. I can't think straight. Sebastian thinks my love and the children are "just extra"? Is that what this is to him? Something extra?

I gritted my teeth, "You…you bastard!"

Sebastian looked at me strangely, "Pardon?"

I broke free from his hold, "I was a fool. A fool for thinking you really loved me!"

"Young master, I don't know what you're talking about."

"You think this is nothing but a game? Just a little game to pass the time before you eat my soul? My love, the children, they don't mean ANYTHING to you, do they?" I yelled at the shocked demon.

Sebastian reached out to me, "Ciel, you're emotions are out of control."

"DON'T TOUCH ME YOU DEMON! To think that I disgraced my parents, I sullied my own name. All because I finally felt loved by someone!" I knew I shouldn't be yelling, but I couldn't stop. I was furious, "You saw my weakness, Sebastian. You knew how fragile I was that fateful day when you saved me. I thought you honestly cared about me. When God and every angel in heaven turned their backs on me, you came to rescue me. I thought it was something special. But it was only an act to get to my soul! I should've known better than to trust a demon like you!"

"Ciel, please, if you give me a minute I can-" Sebastian tried again.

"Don't feed me lies, Sebastian!" I snapped at him.

Sebastian grasped my shoulders, "Ciel, listen to me. You're confused. You are putting yourself and the children at risk by overreacting by this."

"I don't care." I spat, "Since when did you care either? This is just something to pass the time in your eyes, right? They really don't mean anything to you. Tell me that's not true."

After a few moments of silence Sebastian sighed, "It is not true."

I felt my knees were gonna give out soon so I grabbed onto the bedpost, "Get out."

The demon looked at me with remorse, "Ciel, just-"

"GET OUT!" I screamed, "NOW!"

I refused to look at him as he sighed and walked out. The sound of the door closing could not have sounded more divine. Almost instantly, my legs gave out under me and I fell onto my knees. I got a tight hold on the bed sheets and attempted to pull myself up, only to fail. I sat defeated on the floor of my bedroom. Suddenly, another sharp pain shot through my body. I wrapped my arms around my stomach. Was this more false labor pains? No, this felt different. It felt more severe.

I whimpered as the pain continued to grow. I bit down on my lip to keep from crying out. Was the human body supposed to endure this much pain at once? This was nearly unbearable, "God help me." I whispered, hoping something would show up as a salvation to this pain. Then I realized, I just rejected the only saving grace I had left, Sebastian. After how I treated him, he was never gonna come back. I was such an imbecile for acting that way.

Then I was struck with a strange feeling. A feeling I knew wasn't good. It couldn't be time already. I still had two or three months left.

"Se-SEBASTIAN!" I finally cried out in pain and agony, "I NEED HELP! PLEASE!"

Sebastian's POV

I closed the door behind me and sighed. I wish I could help Ciel, I really do. But with his emotions acting so wild, there's nothing I can do. Seeing as how he won't listen to reason. I just wish I knew what I had said to set him off. It must have been purely accidental. I would never say anything to harm him and mean it. If only he knew how much danger he was putting himself and the children into. He could go into early labor behaving so carelessly like that. Considering he's only 29.5 weeks that isn't a good thing.

"Se-SEBASTIAN! I NEED HELP! PLEASE!"

Oh no. It's happening.

I'm probably the only one thinking this but, I hate how this chapter went. It's barely 1,000 words which is disappointing. I'm not pleased with how it turned out. But I feel it's presentable enough and I've given you a long enough wait. I may rewrite this later if I get the chance but right now I'm busy. I have a yard sale to prepare for, a dress to find for an award show, my recital to practice, and work. I shall try my best to update as fast as I can.
