My goodness! It has been a long time since I've written for this story hasn't it? Over a month. I hate to say that I was really busy with the play I was in, "Annie". But it's over now so I have more free time. I also had PSATs to take, but I got sick and lucked out on missing it!
I had a dreadful time thinking of ideas. But I have something at last! I also hated having to write the birth scene. I just couldn't get up off my ass to get it done. But now I am motivated to do so. Let's get started!
Sebastian: Cookie doesn't own Kuroshitsuji or its characters.
Me: May I die and go to heaven if I did.
Mating Season
The Perfect Nanny
The Undertaker was strolling up on the rooftops listening to the wind blowing, "Winds in the east… there's a mist coming in. Almost as if something quite evil is about to begin. Can't put my finger on what lies in store. But I feel that it's something that has happened before. Heh heh heh"
He looked up and saw he was near the Phantomhive Mansion. He chuckled to himself, "My my my, I haven't been to this place in a while. So much has changed I know for sure."
Hopping onto the roof of the monstrous estate, he peered down below like a crow watching its prey, enjoying what was about to unfold.
A frustrated older woman came barging out of the house with bags in her hands, Maylene close behind her.
"Katy Nana!" The maid, not wearing her spectacles, shouted, "Who gets stuck with the children with no nanny in the house? Me! That's who!"
The woman turned around, "I've said my say, Miss Maylene, and that's all I'll say! I'm done with this house forever!"
As Katy Nana stormed off in rage, Maylene sighed, "Well good riddance then!"
Ciel ran down the stairs and up to the doorway, "Katy Nana!" But it was too late. Frustrated, he turned to the maid, "Gone… are you quite sure?"
She nodded, "I'm afraid so, master. Is it any wonder?"
"Choosing the right nanny, I just keep drawing blanks!" The teen sighed, "I'm unlucky I suppose."
"Well, beg my pardon for saying this but, they are a bit mischievous at times."
He scoffed, "They are quite troublesome. I don't know how in the world I will be able to handle them."
"If only Sebastian were still here." Maylene said with a hint of sadness, "He would have been such a good help."
Ciel scoffed again then mumbled to himself, "He would have been such a great father."
It all happened so fast, Ciel could hardly believe it at first, but he remembers it so well.
4 years ago
Rachel Reed had gotten there and pushed Sebastian out of the room, insisting that he would only get in the way. Sebastian sat outside the door with Agni and Soma, who was roughly 2 months pregnant.
Soma patted the butler on the shoulder and smiled, "Don't be nervous. It'll all be alright. Trust us."
Sebastian sighed, his head in his hands, "That's a bit difficult." He flinched as another scream ripped through the silence, "I can't take the screams. I'm supposed to protect Ciel and I can't do anything right now."
Agni smiled also, "Ciel will be fine. You have to have faith in God that everything will go smoothly."
The demon rolled his eyes at the mention of God. Lady Reed's voice could be heard from inside the room, "That's it Ciel! You are doing marvelously! Just a little bit more and you'll have a beautiful daughter in your arms!"
"Daughter… I'm going to have a daughter." Sebastian whispered to himself, almost in realization as to what was really happening. He stood up abruptly, "I need to go somewhere."
Agni and Soma looked at each other and then up at Sebastian, "Where are you going?"
He didn't answer but said one thing as he walked away, "Tell Ciel I'll be back soon."
Not a moment later, Lady Reed opened the door with a smile, "Mr. Sebastian, you have a beautiful daughter now." But she found the butler nowhere in sight.
Ciel sat in his study, staring at a letter that was the closest thing to him other than the children. It was the letter Sebastian wrote him the night he left. The uncovered eye read the letter over and over again, a sort of ritual he had gotten into over the years.
Dear Ciel,
I regret to say that I am not with you and the twins right now. I am most embarrassed to admit this but, I couldn't stand hearing you in so much pain so I had to get away. I also was very worried about the children. I cannot tell you why in a letter like this, but I had to attend to something very important back home. I hope to be back with you as soon as I can. I will never stop thinking about you or the children. I'm sure they are beautiful.
Love,
Sebastian
Folding the letter back up, Ciel held back a tear threatening to emerge as he put the yellowing letter back into the locked drawer in his desk. He sighed and laid back in his chair.
"Mommy!"
A familiar voice rang out and Ciel looked up to see his son running to him, "What's wrong, Anthony?"
The boy climbed onto his mother's lap, "Sis is being mean to me."
"She is? Well, what did she do?"
The sobbing child began explaining what all happened and I nodded and kissed his forehead, "I will definitely talk to her later. Now why don't you go play with Finny, mommy is working."
"Okay." He said, cheering up and ran down the hall.
Ciel could hardly stand looking at his children without seeing Sebastian in them. Especially those damned red eyes they both inherited from the demon. It definitely made them unique.
The doorbell rung and within minutes, Tanaka notified him saying there was someone at the door asking for him. Sighing, Ciel got up and hurried down the stairs to see who the visitor was. Strangely enough, it was someone he didn't recognize.
"Hello, can I help you?"
The man, dressed in all black with a mask covering his face and hiding his identity, smiled, "Yes I was hoping to speak with you, Earl."
"Well then, come into the parlor and we can discuss whatever you wish to discuss." I said showing him to the parlor.
He sat in one chair and I sat in the one across from him, "Now what is it you want to talk to me about?"
The mysterious man chuckled, "I was hoping to discuss the subject of being hired as your new butler."
Ciel's eyes widened in shock, "What a thing to ask! I already have Tanaka as my butler. I am sorry to say you are not needed."
"But if I remember correctly, Tanaka is the steward for your company. There is no one here as the butler. I was hoping that I could fill that position."
How arrogant this man is, Ciel thought, "I apologize but we already have someone occupied as a butler in this household."
The man tilted his head, "I heard that the previous Phantomhive butler left around 4 years ago and hasn't been heard from since. I also heard a rumor that you two were lovers." He leaned in close, "Did you love your butler, Earl Phantomhive?"
The teen resisted the urge to smack this man in front of him, "I would most appreciate if you wouldn't bring that nonsense up at a time like this. You wouldn't understand."
"I wouldn't understand? But of course I wouldn't! How could I? Tell me, how did you feel when you found out he left? Did you replace him right away?"
Ciel could tell he was on the verge of snapping any moment now, "How dare you think I would do such a thing? I died that day!"
"And if it was true that you and he were lovers, you must have gotten over it awfully quick and found another love. I saw that you have two children. Who is the lucky girl?" he said with a challenging look in his chocolate eyes.
All the earl could see was red as he stood up in rage, teeth gritted, "You can barge in my household, mock my company and my staff, but you have got some nerve coming in here acting like you own the place and saying things that will get you hanged by the courtesy of myself and the Queen of England."
"So what if I do? What are you going to do about it?"
Blinded by immeasurable amounts of rage, Ciel tackled the black clad man to the ground and started throwing punches a mile a minute.
Soma and Agni, hearing Ciel scream in fury, rushed in to see what happened and quickly pulled Ciel off.
"Ciel! Please calm down!" Soma pleaded the shaking teen.
Ciel gasped for breath, "That…bastard is…dead. He's dead you hear? DEAD!"
Agni shook Ciel's shoulder, "Control yourself, Master Ciel! Look!"
The heaving earl looked up at the masked man who's mask got torn off in the struggle, "It…it can't be. Sebastian?"
Well, aren't you glad I finally updated? I bet you thought it was over. Well think again! I still got a good few ideas left! Now, hopefully in the next few days, I will have a little filler up with the shinigami. I have promised my co writer many times that I would get it written and put up as soon as I can.
