Grell fainted in a rather dramatic fashion. Sebastian caught him before he could hit the ground and laid him on top of a coffin.
"She's pregnant?" Gasp Ryan and stared at Ronald who had a mixture of horror and excitement on his face. Horror that he had gotten his girlfriend pregnant and excitement that he was going to be a father.
Undertaker poked Ronald in the chest. "You best make an honest woman out of her! I won't stand for it otherwise"
"Yes we have few enough reapers as it is without losing Cady because she is struggling to care for her child" Added William sr.
Ryan found that rich coming from them. Neither of them had married Grell when they got him pregnant; Though William sr. had married Kyla before knocking her up.
Grell sat up slowly then seemed to remember what had just happened. Grell tackled Ronald.
"Why didn't you use protection Ronald? She too young to have a baby! She's only 27! I was 290 when I had Junior!"
Sebastian pulled the enraged red head on the smaller reaper careful of Grell's wounds. Grell relaxed and sat down.
"Well Ronnie I guess this means I will be your mother in law." Grell smiled at the thought. "To be honest though Cady was the only one of my kids I expected to have kids."
"What!? Why am I cut out?" demanded Ryan. Junior just glared at his mother.
"You are a hybrid honey you already have enough problems without adding in kids. And junior is to stuck up for anyone to like him."
Junior glared at them all and left. Ryan watched his brother, why couldn't he ever be happy? Kyla went into the back to see Cady.
Grell sighed "I guess this means Cady's no longer mad at Ronnie for having sex with me."
All eyes turned to stare at Grell, and Ronald's face turned red. "Please don't bring that up sempai!"
"When did you sleep with Ronald?" Ryan's voice was a squeak.
Grell flattened his son's hair who quickly messed it up again. "That was 21 years ago; we did it to see if Ronnie liked men as well. I think he was about 23 at the time"
"Which, I don't!" Ronald quickly piped up. "Though it was good sex"
Getting a glare from Sebastian and William, Ronald stood up "I think I'm going to go check on Cady" then dashed into the back.
Grell frowned "if I'm going to be a grandma ….. That means I'm getting old!"
Sebastian pulled out one of Grell's hairs "Gray hair he teased"
Grell glared at his demon lover then began to cry. "I'm not old!"
Ryan wondered how Grell would feel about Cady's wedding. It was the red hair reapers dream to be a 'wife'. Ryan looked at his father, Sebastian had never mentioned wanting to marry Grell. He seemed happy enough to have Grell as his boyfriend….. or is that girlfriend? Did demons even marry?
Cady and Ronald came out of the back. Cady was holding onto Ronald's arm. Her face was paler than usual, her long red hair was matted and she stank of vomit.
"Mama, why are you crying?"
Grell jumped up and hugged his daughter. "I'm crying because I'm so happy for you"

Grell was in his office supposed to be doing his paper work but was instead doodling on a blank paper. He didn't much like doing paper work and the thought that he was going to be a grandma threw all his thoughts off his work. At the knock at the door set him into a frenzy fearing that it was William sr. coming to check that Grell was doing his work. The door opened and instead of William's disapproving frown it was Ronald looking nervous.
"Oh hello Ronnie" Grell grinned.
"Hi Grell-senpai, can I talk to you?"
"Oh course Ronnie you know can always talk me"
Ronald pulled a chair up to Grell's desk and plopped down. "It's about Cady and the baby. How did you feel when you found you were pregnant with all of your kids?"
Grell thought about that for a moment. "Well with junior I was scared and exited same with Ryan. With Cady I was that, but also angry at the Undertaker. How do you feel about becoming a father?"
"Scared and bit happy. I've been with a lot of women and never got them pregnant. I was always careful"
Grell tipped his head to the side. "So what was different with Cady?"
The blonde looked down for a moment choosing his words carefully. Grell was his friend and mentor but also Cady's mother. "Cady always felt different to me. She wasn't just a piece of ass I was trying to score like all those other girls. I really like her. It was Cady who made the first move on me instead of the other way around" Grell listened quietly as Ronald went on. "I really like her senpai and I want to be with her"
"It's not a matter of liking her it's a matter of loving her. Even though she's carrying your child that doesn't guaranty that you love her. I had William's child and he doesn't love me. I had Undertakers child out of drunken stupidity, though I don't regret it with how much I love my daughter and my dear Sebas-chan, well I don't really know how my handsome demon feels. But any way what I'm trying to say is even though you're her child's father doesn't mean you love her"
Ronald jumped up so fast his chair toppled backwards. "I do love her! And not because I knocked her up! I've felt this way since I meet her!"
Grell giggled "Ronnie you've known her since she was a baby"
Ronald blushed. "Let me rephrase then; I've loved her since we started dating a year ago. And I plan to marry her! Not because she pregnant, and not because Undertaker is forcing me to! I'm going to marry her because I love her!"
With that said Ronald dashed out "I gotta go get a ring! Thanks for the help sempai!"
Grell watched Ronald go a full Cheshire smile across his porcelain face. He sighed. "I wonder if Sebas-chan will ever feel that way about me….."

"Mama!" Cady cried dashing into the apartment and hugging Grell who was sitting on the couch with Ryan. "Ronald proposed to me!" she cried waving her ring in her mother's face. Seeing this was going to be a 'mother', daughter talk Ryan stood up.
"I'm going to see where dad went"
After the black haired teen had left Cady started up again. Ronald said he wanted to be with me because he loved me not because I'm pregnant. Oh! Do you have any cookies? I'm craving cookies"
Grell smiled at the smaller red head "you really are pregnant. You came at a good time, Sebas-chan just made a big batch off sugar cookies"
"So when is the wedding?" asked Grell after Cady had eaten her tenth cookie.
"Sometime before the baby is born so we have seven months"
About an hour later Cady left and another half hour later Sebastian and Ryan came home. Grell was lying on the couch in daze thinking about his daughter's wedding. Ryan had to explain what happened as it seemed Grell wasn't coming out of his daze. Slowly Grell sat up.
"I'm going to start planning Cady's wedding.
"Hold on Grell we have to talk" growled Sebastian grabbing the reapers hand. The tone of his voice made both Ryan and Grell nervous.
Sebastian got down on one knee still holding Grell's hand. The reapers green eyes went wide, as Sebastian reached inside his coat and pulled out a small box. Grell gasp when the demon opened the box showing off the silver ring and large ruby.
"Grell Sutcliff will you marry me/ become my mate?"
Grell squealed and tackled Sebastian to the ground kissing him franticly.
"I take that as a yes" Sebastian said between kisses.
Ryan shifted from foot to foot. "Should I go over Undertakers or are you just gonna have a make out session?"
Grell sat up still on top of Sebastian. "Hun, you should stay the night at Undertakers" he gave his son a small wink.

~two months later~
Once a week Ryan would go to work with Grell; normally Ryan enjoyed going out reaping with Grell but today Grell was wearing a short red skirt which embarrassed Ryan to no end. Sebastian seemed to like it though. Ryan begged his mother not to do this on the day he would come with him to work, but Grell said he felt extra sexy today by wearing a skirt. Once Grell had brushed his ridiculously long hair and tied it back he proceeded to put on his make-up. Ryan didn't mind the make-up (he rarely ever saw his mother without it) but the skirt was killing him. William didn't much like the skirt ether but it was in the dress code skirts where allowed. Grell didn't go out reaping for fear of ripping his skirt so Ryan had to sit in Grell's office all day. Just to add to the bad day Ryan had a cough. Ryan promised Grell that he would go with Ronald to Undertakers and get it looked at. The whole way to Undertakers Ronald went on about all the parties he went to and all the girls he dated. Ryan was ready to wack the blonde Shinigami over the head with his lawn mower scythe. He would have done it to if he wasn't wracked with another coughing fit as they entered the shop.
"That's quite the cough you have there" giggled Undertaker emerging for the coffin he was hiding in.
"Are you ok Ryan?" Cady sat up in her own coffin she was laying in.
"Are you sure your Shinigami and not vampires?" coughed Ryan.
Ronald got in the coffin with Cady watched closely by a frowning Undertaker. "how are you feeling?" Ronald gave Cady a quick kiss.
"I'm fine it's Ryan I'm worried about"
"Come lay on here so I can listen to your lungs and breathing" Undertaker patted the top of a closed coffin. Once Ryan was lying on his back Undertaker pushed up the front of the teen's shirt. Ryan tensed up; he didn't like being touched other than a light hug from Grell since what Claude did to him. After listening to his breathing he let the small hybrid sit up again.
"Seems you have a minor case of asthma"
Before Ryan could speak he started coughing again. Undertaker disappeared into the back room. A moment later he came back and handed Ryan an inhaler. "Use that and you'll feel better"
Cady was surprised by all this. "How can he get asthma when he doesn't even really need to breathe?"
Undertaker giggled "I'm not sure love, but I do know Grell has it too"
"You wouldn't think Grell-senpai has it with how hyper he always is" said Ronald.
Undertaker sighed "I know. I'm always telling him to calm down"
"Undertaker sir, can you take me home? If mom thinks I'm sick he'll tie me to my bed so I don't go out, and I need someone to save me from mom if dads not home"
Undertaker grinned "Yes I want to check his breathing too" he turned to Cady and Ronald who were still in the coffin. "That lid better still be off when I get home"
After checking Grell's lungs Undertaker left; as expected Grell was in a fit over Ryan's asthma. Luckily Sebastian was home to calm down the red reaper by making him a cup of tea.
"Tell me a story mom" said Ryan trying to get Grell to think about something other than his son's asthma. "I know! Tell me about when you were Jack the Ripper"
Grell's eyes widened, his red framed glasses slid down his nose slightly. Sebastian dropped the tea cup he was holding.
"How do you k now about that?" demanded Sebastian.
Ryan was taken back by his parent's anger. "Cady told me. She said mom killed a bunch of prostitutes, and that you almost killed mom"
"I forgot Cady knew about that" said Grell quietly.
"Well why did you kill those women? Why did dad almost kill you?"
"I was jealous of them" Grell's eyes darkened. "They recently had abortions. They didn't want their kids, something I had fought for and lost. My partner Madam Red felt the same. She had lost her child in an accident. So we teamed up and killed those damned whores"
"What happened to Madam Red?"
"I killed her" Grell's voice was thick with sadness.
Ryan looked at Sebastian. "Why did you try to kill mom?"
"The young lord ordered me to stop Jack the Ripper at all cost. I would have killed him if William hadn't shown up and rescued him"
"Was William mad?"
Grell shuddered "yes…."

~one month later~
Before the wedding Ronald was a nervous mess. His face was red and he was sweating. Sebastian was the total opposite; he was calm and collected, Undertaker and Ryan where both wearing tuxedoes. As it was a double wedding both Cady and Grell had nice gowns.
Undertaker approached Ryan his usual smile on his face. "Your mother needs you to help him zip up the back of his gown"
The black haired teen sighed; it was another one of Grell's attempts to fix Ryan's 'unruly' hair. "Why can't dad or Cady do it?"
"Sebastian can't do it because it's bad luck to see the bride before the wedding and Cady's in a fit thinking she's fat"
"Fine" growled Ryan and stormed off to find Grell.
Rather than a traditional wedding dress like what Cady was wearing Grell's gown was all red. "Ryan honey, do me a favor and zip mommy up"
"Sure mom" as soon as it was zipped Ryan turned to leave.
"Hold on Ryan, let me fix your hair" said Grell grabbing the Hybrids sleeve.
"Mom my hair is fine! I like it messy!" Ryan replied batting away the Shinigami's hand.
Grell pouted.
"Come on mom. The wedding is about to start"
Once the wedding started Ryan sat down by Kyla. He didn't pay attention to the ceremony until the 'I do's'. Undertaker had Cady and Ronald exchange rings and vows. After they kissed they went and sat down while Sebastian and Grell did their vows. At 'you may kiss the bride' it went from a kiss to a make-out session; which lasted five minutes. During which time Undertaker burst into laughter at how intense the two where kissing. When they finally brock apart they were gasping for air and red faced. Undertaker was on the ground laughing now.
During the reception Ryan went over to stand by Junior who was alone.
"It seems our gender-confused mother is finally married" said Junior.
Ryan smiled. "You said our mother"
Junior's eyes widened as he realized his mistake. "No I didn't!"
Ryan wiggled around in the same fashion as Grell would. "Yes you did, you finally accept my as your brother!" he hugged Junior purely to annoy his half-brother. "My big brother loves me"
"No I don't!" yelled Junior trying to push Ryan off him "get off me you stupid demon! You'll get your stink on me!"
Cady and Ronald approached the two. "I'm glad to you two are getting along so well" laughed Cady.
"Yep brotherly love" answered Ryan finally letting go of Junior. "By the way have you seen my parents?"
"I saw Grell-senpai and Mr. Sebastian go off alone" said Ronald with a smile "they were in an awful big hurry"
Ryan face-palmed "well dad can help mom zip up his dress this time"
Junior walked away leaving the other three laughing.
