Sincerely wishing you all well,

Kida-Asumi, the Captin of Sirius

The birth of her son Madara brought Lin more joy than she could have ever imagined. Tsunade herself delivered him the day before Christmas. He was a big baby, coming out around nine pounds and was 21 inches long, much to her surprise. Sebastian, who had been there to help with any complications that her demon blood may bring, had shrugged it off.

"He's actually little. I was almost 15 pounds and 29 inches. Probably the human in him." He had explained when Tsunade had left the room to inform everyone else.

"Lin was so much smaller than this!" Liz protested. Sebastian shook his head as he stroked the boys back on Lin's heaving chest.

"She's a female. They are typically smaller. I read that Ciel was small too." He explained. Lin nodded, cradling her son.

"He's perfect." She murmured warmly.

"That he is." The three looked up to find Jin entering the room. Lin smiled at the sight of her husband, though her heart gave an uncertain beat. She felt Sebastian's disapproving glance before she noticed it.

Her marriage with Jin was currently facing its first obstacle.

Sana Kagarashi, her husband's past love interest. The girl was due in a month with Jo's baby, and Jin was having a hard time coming to terms with it. He had grown distant from her, which had her worried that their marriage was on the rocks. She hadn't told anyone but Tsunade about it, but because of their demon bond, Sebastian felt her distress and confronted her. The girl was actually a sweet person and probably didn't deserve the resentment Lin felt towards her.

"He's our little boy." Lin murmured proudly as Jin sat down next to her.

"We're going to tell Kosuke!" Liz squealed, grabbing Sebastian and dragging him from the room. Left alone, Lin focused on her son.

"We'll do a good job, if you're worried." Jin commented quietly as he lied down next to her. Lin looked up, forcing a smile.

"Yes we will. You'll change this world, my little son." She declared softly.

Oh, if only she could have imagined how he would change the world.

Madara Uchiha was what they decided to name him. It had been a name of a previous family head, and since Madara inherited his mother's hair and eye color, they felt it safe to honor him with such a name. He turned out to be a very quick learner and wiser than his years very early on. Lin couldn't have been happier to have such an heir for her family. His birth brought his parents closer, which pleased Lin as well. Her husband had quit pining after his old flame and was focusing on keeping his assigned jobs in the family in perfect condition.

Everyone loved the boy. His grandparents doted on him, King Charles often sent gifts, Lady Tsunade often brought her own son over to play, and he clicked instantly with Sana's little girl.

On Madara's first birthday, the family flew to the newly declared Britannia Empire. King Charles greeted them at the docks, happily ushering them to his castle. The visit was pleasant, and both Madara and Jin seemed just as taken to the King as he was to them. While visiting the remains of the Phantomhive Manor, Madara seemed captivated by it and was obviously sad to have to leave.

Madara was Lin's pride and joy without a shred of doubt.

When Madara was two, Lin gave birth to a second child. Fugaku was born one warm, spring morning in April. His birth brought the family much joy as well. With Sana giving birth to Obito as well, this just topped the metaphorical cake. After all, Obito would be her step-child someday.

Fugaku was a very quiet child in public. As he aged, his brother helped to make him more outgoing in a home setting. He, much like his brother, was a natural learner and was eager to learn all that he could. He looked up to his father and admired his mother. With his mother's hair and eyes, Fugaku would become a great influence in the world as well.

Lin saw took pride in this blatant knowledge.

She raised her two sons with a firm yet gentle hand, teaching them all of the polite, Victorian etiquette she had been raised in. Jin was a good parent too, teaching them the other side of politics. He was the ideal father figure too. He would make good humored mom jokes and help them with problems that she couldn't.

But more on that later.

Their three grandparents were another factor in their lives. Liz and Kosuke spoiled them with candy and toys while Sebastian helped them remember the English part of their heritage.

Jo and Sana Kagarashi were very influential as well… well, at least their children were.

Mikoto Kagarashi would be the one thing to change their lives so drastically. Obito would grow to be a close brother. And little Makisumi would bond with Oboro.

Oboro's birth was certainly one to remember.

"Grandma Liz!" Fugaku smiled as he ran to his grandmother. Liz smiled, patting his head.

"Hello Fugaku dear. Where are your parents and brother?" The blond asked, searching for her daughter. She spotted the car pulling up the gravel driveway, but didn't catch the car's occupants exiting the car.

"Right here, Mama." Lin said, waddling up the stairs. Liz's expression softened when she looked over her pregnant form.

"My sweet daughter. Where are Jin and Madara?" She asked, picking up Fugaku. Lin rolled her eyes, rubbing her stomach.

"At this father-son camping trip thing with his pre-school. Where's Daddy?" She asked. Liz chuckled, wrapping an arm around her daughter and leading her into the house.

"He's upstairs, painting. Go on up. I'll take Fugaku to our playroom." She insisted. Lin nodded, smiling.

"Thanks, Mom." She said. Liz shot her a wink before turning her attention to her rambling grandson.

"Daddy." Lin murmured warmly as her father hugged her. Kosuke Uchiha, head of the Uchiha family, smiled.

"My darling daughter." He replied back, with equal warmth. When her unborn child kicked, they both laughed softly.

"Sit down, sit down. Tell me about your family." He insisted.

"Well, I'm having another little boy." She said happily. Kosuke smiled, squeezing her shoulder.

For the next hour or so the two spent time just talking. After the birth of her children, Lin was forced to focus on the next generation, and felt a drift coming between herself and her parents. Though she hated it, she knew that it was something that had to happen.

It was a part of growing up.

Her parents had sensed this, so they built a house a few miles away from Lin's. Sebastian had moved out sometime after, and would randomly appear from time to time, without much warning,

Without her parents, she found herself bonding with her husband's children. As they grew, Lin grew delighted at the thought of her family line's future. After all, she was expecting her third child. Sure that would add some new flavor to her life.

What surprises could the future possibly hold?

"So how are you guys liking this house?" Lin asked as she wandered through her parent's new house.

"We're settling nicely. And relieved to finally have a house free of little feet pitter-pattering about." Kosuke said, patting her hand that rested on his arm. When Lin opened her mouth to reply, the power suddenly went out. The two shared a frown.

That was unusual.

"Kosuke! Linny! Marco!" Liz cried from somewhere nearby.

"Polo!" Lin cried back. A minute later the blond came into view, a confused Fugaku in her arms.

"Mama?" Fugaku asked as he reached for Lin. Lin kissed his forehead to reassure him that he was safe, but didn't want to take him. Her balance wasn't the best these days, and she wouldn't risk hurting her sons if she fell.

"Shall we all venture to the ground floor and find the fuse box?" Kosuke asked as he wrapped an arm around his wife. Liz nodded.

"Take Gaku and you guys go. I'll try and find a flashlight." She said. Her parents nodded.

As Lin wandered around the kitchen, her parents and child were in the basement messing with the fuse box.

"Are you sure you should push that?" A voice asked behind them just as Kosuke reached to press the button. Liz let out a surprise squeak as Kosuke moved to stand in front of her. Before he could open his mouth, he was thrown across the room. Liz gasped, sitting Fugaku down at her feet as she moved to stand in front of him.

The man that approached her had pitch black hair and eerie glowing golden eyes.

He was vaguely familiar…

"Lady Elizabeth. Where is the Phantomhive heiress?" He asked. Liz's eyes narrowed, then suddenly widened in horror.

Only one group of people called her by her previous title.

The demons from London.

And this one had…

"You…you're the one who stopped me from going home that night!" She screamed. The man nodded, grinning.

"Correct. My name is Hotsune and I'm going to kill your daughter. After all, her mother is the reason mine is dead. Oh, by the way, that bomb behind you goes off in five minutes." He said. And with a snap of his fingers, he was gone, leaving Liz horrified.

"Ciel?" Liz murmured, confused. Fugaku was paralyzed with fear behind her as she moved to help up Kosuke. "Follow grandma, 'Gaku. We of British blood can handle anything." She said, forcing a perky smile on her face. Fugaku nodded, determination entering his eyes.

As they exited through the back door, Liz tried to put together Hotsune's clues.

Who is his mother and why did Ciel kill her?

As soon as Lin heard a thump from the basement, she was running out the door. She wasn't sure why she had fled from the house as she slowed at the edge of the property. Blaming it on her demonic instincts, she turned to head back to the house.

After all, she had demonic powers that could protect her if need be. Before she could begin heading back, however, an explosion rang through the night.

"No!" Lin screamed, the all too familiar burning of a house reflected in her eyes.

Whether it was her childhood home or that of her parents, even she wasn't sure.

"Oh yes." A new voice said. Gasping, Lin began to shake violent and turned to look at the man.

A man that had seemed insignificant before.

"You." She snarled, eyes narrowed. When she got her memories back, she remembered a man setting the house on fire.

This was that man.

"Lincent. My name is Hotsune. Our parents were enemies. You took my mother and I feel that it's my turn to take yours." The man grinned. As he pulled out a knife, Lin's hand went to her stomach to protect her unborn child.

"Wah!" Fugaku cried as Liz all but dragged him and Kosuke over to the well that stood about fifteen feet from the burning house.

"Lin!" Liz screamed, terrified that her daughter was trapped inside. Panicked green eyes swept the property, then came to a halting stop when she noticed her daughter run towards the large rose garden labyrinth she had designed herself, that man who set up the bomb running behind her.

Liz would later swear her heart stopped. Before she could go racing after she child, a voice called her to stop.

She'll be fine. She has to handle this alone.

"Oh my god." Lin whispered, horrified as another contraction hit. For the past twenty minutes she had been wandering through the maze. About fifteen minutes ago, the all too familiar pain started.

She normally wouldn't be concerned. Under the current situation, however…she had more than enough reason to worry.

Wincing, she collapsed to her knees. In front of her, stood a ghost from her past…the real reason she was in America, and not in London…the demon Hotsune.

The man who burned down the Phantomhive Manor.

"Hello, baby Phantomhive." He smiled pleasantly. She glared, standing back up.

"I have no idea what you're talking about. I'm an Uchiha." She growled, playing dumb. After all, why should she give the man the satisfaction of being in control by taunting her by her birth name? He had no right to even be in the presence of such nobility after what he did. Hotsune chuckled.

"You received your birth parents viciousness. Tell me, little Ciel, why do you deny your parentage? You have some… very interesting parents. In fact, I believe your Daddy granted you some of his power. I'd bank on that, love, or you will die." He said bluntly, dropping all formalities. Lin's eyes widened as the words sank in.

So he knew about Sebastian…that was a problem.

Suddenly, he disappeared. Whirling around, Lin began to search for him frantically. A breathless chuckle passed by her ear, making her whirl around again.

"Boo." A soft voice said behind her.

"Ah!" She screamed, tripping backwards. She managed to catch herself so she did not crush her unborn child with her body weight.

"I just want your child, Lincent Rachel." Hotsune's voice rang throughout the alleyway. As she felt her energy draining away, her senses ironically became more focused.

"Fuck you!" She screamed, the world going white for a moment.

Above her, on a building, Hotsune smiled as her eyes went red. If this meant what he thought it meant…

Lin heaved herself off of the ground, jumping towards a nearby wall when a knife came flying at her abdomen.

"Look at that, little lady. You are his daughter. Look at you glow." Hotsune said cheerfully, jumping down in front of her. Lin's eyes were a glowing red, a white aura pulsing around her. A black covered her unborn child.

"You will never touch my sons." She growled, bracing herself for battle.

"Sebastian!" Lizzie screamed out, terrified as she supported her husband. While the immediate danger to Kosuke and Fugaku had passed, Lincent was far from safe. With Hotsune's startlingly reappearance, this could only mean bad things. "You asshole of a demon, your pregnant daughter is in danger!" She screamed into the night.

"You rang, Mrs. Uchiha?" A silken voice asked behind her. She turned slowly.

"Fugaku, stay behind me, okay?" She asked the toddler as she sat her husband down on the ground. Fugaku nodded, eyes narrowing at the man who would sometimes be at their house.

"Lin, she's pregnant and Hotsune is back and Jin is out of town and we got separated!" She gasped out. His red eyes narrowed.

Hotsune, spawn of the vilest creature he and Ciel had ever come across. How in the world did he know about Lin? How did Liz know about him?

"What?" He hissed. Lizzie nodded, pulling Fugaku into her arms. Sebastian frowned.

"Stay here." He ordered, racing towards his daughter's presence.

"I'm sorry baby." Lin mumbled. She lied on the ground, helplessly watching as Hotsune approached, knife held out menacingly. She was out of energy, and was losing blood fast.

"Send Ciel my regards." He cackled. Suddenly, he was thrown back. Lin sat up in shock.

"We need to get you somewhere so we can deliver this baby." He murmured, helping her up.

"Dad." Lin mumbled in shock, eyes widening. He chuckled.

"Hello, Lincent Rachel Phantomhive-Michaelis Uchiha."

Sebastian had delivered Oboro in the rose garden. Apparently Sebastian presence had spooked or terrified Hotsune because he had taken off like a bat out of hell and seemed to not be returning.

Now they were in a hospital to get Kosuke and the baby checked out.

"Did you have parents?" Lin asked her father that night, her sleeping son in her arms. Her husband was on his way, and her adoptive parents were down the hall in Kosuke's room. Fugaku was sleeping beside her. After what Sebastian had done for her, Lin was suddenly more interested in her birth father. Sebastian chuckled, nodding.

"Yes, I did. A long time ago, even before your grandfather Hiroki was born. I had a loving family once." He explained. She smiled, patting the part of blanket beside her. Lizzie appeared in the doorway.

"You can listen too, milady." He said. Lizzie rolled her eyes.

"As if a Lady of my status need permission from a man of yours." She said with mock haughtiness; bring out Lin and Sebastian's nearly identical laughter.

As Sebastian entertained them with tales of his childhood, none noticed a black cat watching them from the window, its blue eyes sparkling mischievously.

"How did you know that I would answer your call, Lady Elizabeth?" Sebastian asked the blonde, his daughter in his arms. Lin had fallen asleep against him after his stories ended. Lizzie shrugged, looking down at Oboro in her own. Jin and Madara had yet to arrive.

"I honestly didn't. It might have been because of the little ones with me. They might have repeated my call or something." She shrugged. Sebastian nodded, looking at Lin fondly.

"She needed me, and I was finally here for her." He sighed happily, brushing her face.

God, she reminded him of Ciel. From her expressions to her mannerisms, she was truly his child.

As if sensing his thoughts, Liz chuckled bitterly.

"She is a lot like you too, you know." She commented, gently rocking Oboro when he began to awake. Sebastian shook his head.

"I cannot see it." He admitted. Liz snorted.

"Oh please, Sebastian. She has such a charismatic nature around her, she is very aware of any situation, and is easily adaptable. And her anger…if she gets angry enough, it's not the Ciel in her. It's the you." She said softly, brushing back a blond curl from her face. Sebastian's expression softened and he looked at his child once more. Releasing a quiet sigh, he looked up at Liz.

"I need to protect her and her family, Lady Elizabeth." He said pointedly. Liz's eyes widened.

"You mean…" She trailed off, dread filling her. Sebastian nodded, kissing Lin's forehead.

"I have to make myself scarce in her life. I need to hunt them down…or this family will never be at peace." He said softly. Liz nodded, looking at the ground.

"Where will you go?" She asked. Sebastian smiled wryly.

"New York City."

A/N: So Sebastian pretty much out of hot water now. Lin and Liz both forgive him, yet he'd disappearing O.o? More on that at a later date. Btw, Oboro has black hair and eyes. I know I forgot to mention that. He is also Lin's final child. He and Obito will be the stars of the next chapter, I do believe.

Hope you all enjoyed this!
