Wow, I'm typing again already. Seems strange but I just feel as if I wanna write more. Well guess what? When one character leaves, another appears! There will be a new character introduced! I know you must be getting tired of it but perk up! She's on our side!
Sebastian: Cookie doesn't own Kuroshitsuji or its characters.
Me: I recommend you all check out this movie, To Save a Life. It has earned Cookie's seal of approval.
ATTENTION: I now have a link to my DailyBooth page on my profile!
Mating Season
Preparing for the storm
Ciel's POV
All my memories came rushing back into my mind. Sebastian getting kidnapped, Maylene and I attempting to save him, the crash, everything. I nearly jumped out of bed, but the moment I hit the floor, pain shot up my entire body. I grabbed onto the bedside table to steady myself. Then as quickly as I could, I went downstairs and into the room where the trio was at.
The three heads turned to me. Sebastian spoke first, "Young master, shouldn't you be resting?"
I was desperately trying to catch my breath, "I…remember. I remember everything."
Sebastian smirked, chuckling slightly, "Well then, I guess we can go then. Maylene?"
"Yes?" the maid asked.
"Get all the things needed for us to depart." He ordered.
She nodded and went off, "Okay, Mr. Sebastian!"
"Hold on!" I said trying to catch up on everything, "You already planned this?"
The demon's grin widened, "Yes as a matter of fact, we were just talking about it now."
The next day
Sebastian's POV
Returning back to Earth had a huge impact on Ciel. Since every hour in hell is equivalent to a day on Earth, and we were there for roughly 32 hours, Ciel has gone from being nearly 30 weeks to 35 weeks. I don't think he's adjusted to feeling so weak all the time, including the fact that he is staying in bed all day every day.
All the curtains must remain closed at all times now due to his sensitivity to sunlight. The poor child can't walk two steps without getting a leg cramp, not that he should be walking anyway. What a mess he is.
Ring ring…ring ring
Hmm? Someone was at the door? The idea of it being a reporter came to my mind. For this reason, I purposely took my time making my way to the door. When I opened it, I saw a rather dark skinned older woman.
"Yes, what can I help you with madam?" I put on my butler tone just in case.
"This is the house of Ciel Phantomhive, correct?" the mysterious woman asked.
I started becoming a little wary, "That is correct. What business do you have with the young master? He is in no condition to see anyone at the current time."
"That is the reason why I am here. The Earl called me earlier and told me everything. My name is Rachel Reed. You are Sebastian, right?"
Millions of new questions popped into my head, begging to be answered, "Yes, and what is your relation with the young master?"
"I've known him since he was small. I was a good friend of his aunt before she died. I am a nurse at Royal London Hospital where she used to practice." The woman explained. I examined her up and down. She seemed to pose no threat, judging by her looks, I guessed she was in her late 30s.
"My sincerest apologies for keeping you outside so long." I spoke, stepping to the side to allow her in, "Please come inside and I will notify the master of your arrival."
She bowed slightly as she walked inside, "Thank you."
I watched her go over into the parlor to sit down. I then went upstairs quickly and hastily knocked on Ciel's door.
A grumble sounding somewhat similar to "Come in." was made.
I opened the door and bowed, "Young master, a woman by the name of Rachel Reed has arrived to see you."
"Miss Rachel?" The boy perked up a little and emerged from under the covers, "Don't worry, Sebastian. She knew me when I was little. You may send her in."
I bowed once more, "As you wish." and went to go retrieve the woman.
Ciel's POV
As I sat up in my bed, my back began hurting as it normally did. I couldn't believe that I was saying it, but I couldn't wait until this was over with. I knew ever since this insanity began, that I would not allow Sebastian to deliver the children. Of course I spent the next several months trying to think of a substitute. And I chose the woman who used to work alongside Madam Red and knew me since I was little, Rachel Reed, a trained nurse working at Royal London Hospital.
The knocking of the door sounded again.
"Come in."
Sebastian strolled in as usual with a trolley holding a fruit parfait. Following behind him was Miss Rachel.
"Hello Ciel. It's good to see you again! You've definitely grown." She said cheerfully.
Stopping the trolley in front of my bed, he handed me one of the fruit parfaits, smiling as he did so, "Is there anything else the young master needs before I go about my regular duties for today?"
I grabbed the silver spoon, dipped it in the glass and took a bite, "Hmmm…yes. My head hurts, make it better."
The butler smiled at the simple request, "Yes my lord." He leaned down and kissed me lightly on the temple.
My face heated at the unexpected action, but sure enough, the headache I had cleared up in seconds, "Th-thank you. You are excused."
With the evil smirk still plastered on his face, he bowed and left the room. The nerve of that man, showing affection so abruptly in front of a guest. How dare he? I let out a deep sigh and flinched when I heard a little giggle. My attention was drawn back to Miss Rachel who was sitting in a chair on the other side of the bed, smiling.
"So, I know you explained to me your current state and I promised I wouldn't ask questions so I won't." She started off formally, "Now, I know that you're pregnant and all because you kinda explained it to me over the phone but you didn't tell me how far you were."
I closed my eyes attempting to remember what Sebastian had told me, "Around 34 weeks I believe."
"Oh wow, no wonder you're so big." She chuckled. She took out her clipboard and began writing things down, "This means that since you are having twins, you will most likely go into labor around 37 ½ weeks, which is reasonable enough. Now have you and Sebastian figured out how to uh…" she made a hand motion signaling what she meant.
"Yeah, he's gonna do something that will make it easier for both you and me." I explained after taking a bite of my parfait.
The scribbling on the clipboard seemed louder than our voices, "So Ciel, I am excited that I got to see you again and you are growing up to look just like your father, you know that?"
I held back a shudder at the words, and nodded, setting the now empty parfait glass down on the bedside table.
"Well I shall come back in a few weeks and we shall see what all has happened! Sound like a deal?" she said.
"Sure, I'll see you then, Miss Rachel." I waved her off as she walked out the door.
I laid my head on the backboard of my bed and groaned. That little "cure" for the headache I had sure didn't last very long.
Sebastian came in the room after tapping on the door, coming in to take the empty parfait dish, "Young master."
Eyes closed, trying to suppress the headache turned migraine, all I replied was, "Hmm?"
"I believe now is a better time than ever to show you how to transform into a female. I believe you are well enough for it." He said smiling.
I rolled my eyes and sunk back down in my comfy bed, "Some other time, Sebastian."
"While the young master may not be aware, you might find being a woman a lot easier for the time being." The demon said with way too much happiness.
"WHAT?" I screamed, bolting upright in the bed, "YOU'VE GOTTA BE KIDDING! I hate my current situation already!"
"On the brighter side of things, you will be able to understand a woman's pain." He mentioned attempting to make things better.
I rolled my eyes and didn't even respond. So he spoke again, "If the young master will allow me, I can perform the spell to temporarily change your sex so that you may properly give birth when the time comes."
My face brightened as I remembered something, something I knew he wouldn't like, "Oh that reminds me, Sebastian. You will not be present for the birth of the children."
As expected, the look that formed on his face was quite unpleased, "So do I not get a say in the matter then?"
"Absolutely not."
"But then you would be all alone."
"Nope." I repeated, "Miss Rachel, being a trained nurse, will be there. Sebastian, this is an order: You are not to come in the room when the birth is taking place, understand?"
He sighed deeply in defeat and placed a hand over his heart, "Yes, my lord."
I slid back under the covers, "Good, now leave."
"Didn't you hear me, young master? I am quite positive your hearing is not leaving you."
Peeking over the ivory silk sheets, I sent him a glare, "What?"
He smiled, oh how I loathed that, "I still have not yet fulfilled the reason of my entering."
"And that would be…?" I spoke, getting rather impatient.
"Why, changing you into a female, of course!" He still sounded way too excited about this for my liking.
"No! Absolutely not! I demand you to…to…" Drowsiness washed over me in an instant, "Se…Sebastian, what…did you do?"
A chuckle, "I'm simply making the necessary preparations for the procedure. Now get some rest, sleep well, and you will feel much more…" he paused, searching for the right word, "appropriate."
Before I had room to protest, darkness clouded my vision, as I saw the demon standing over me, remove a glove. As I was losing consciousness, the last thing I heard was Sebastian.
"Sleep tight, my lady."
At long last this chapter is completed! Some of my friends on Facebook have figured me out so they are harassing me about updating as fast as I can. What a life.
