William stood there, completely dumbfounded at what just happened. It seemed as if the reaper was getting many shockers today. And at this point he fed up.
"Mr. Knox, you have no right to talk to me like this! If you really care about Grell than you wouldn't be making a scene now! You are being completely selfish and rude. This isn't about you and how you think things should be! Not everything happens the way you want it! So suck it up put on a happy face for my fiancé!" William shouted. As if he had heard nothing but the last sentence, Ronald's face darkened.
"You're fiancé?" Ronald asked in a monotone voice.
"Yes. Is there a problem?" William asked. Like he really cared if there was.
"No…no problem at all," Ronald answered. The blond faked a smile and pushed passed William to return to the room, "Sorry Grell! I just had to collect myself for a moment! Don't worry though, you're Ronnie is here! Congrats on the little ones by the way!" Ronald completely forged. Everything in his voice was false happiness, but Grell couldn't tell. Grell simply beamed with joy. William reentered the room; his straight face perfectly in place. The ravenette walked over to Grell and kissed his forehead.
"The doctor said we can leave in an hour or two," William whispered. Grell nodded in reply. William took a seat next to the bed and just watched Grell fawn over the babies. Ronald just loomed in the corner, and Alan's face just looked full of delight. Several minutes passed of uneventful time. That was until Eric entered.
Eric entered the room by slamming the door open; causing the babies to cry and startling the other Shinigami. Eric glared hatefully at Grell and the babies. William got up instantly and stood in front of his family protectively.
"Alan, leave. Now," Eric commanded. Alan looked at Eric with fear.
"Eric, what's gotten into you?" Alan asked in a panic. Eric looked at the cowering brunette; he rolled his eyes.
"I'm tired of waiting for ya. I have no idea why you're so fixated on this hellborn an' its offspring," Eric muttered. That was it, William snapped. Eric was practically Grell's brother; why was he treating him like this? William grabbed Eric's throat tightly and slammed him against the wall.
"And I'm tired of you calling my fiancé an 'it'. Grell is a lady, a vampire, and a better Shinigami than you ever were and will be. Shut you're dirty fucking mouth before I have to shut it for you. You will not treat my family in such a manner; and if you ever dare threaten them I will kill you without hesitation or second thought," William spat. The ravenette threw Eric to the floor and put one foot on his chest, "From what Grell told me in the past, you're his big brother. He told me that you'd never do anything to hurt him. That you'd go to the ends of the earth to protect him, like family. Why has that changed? So what if he's become a vampire? That changes nothing, Slingby. Grell may no longer be Shinigami, but he still the person we all know and care about," William finished his speech. Eric was on the ground, and staring angrily at William.
"Fine you want to know why I hate this so much?! I hate hellborns! I don't hate Grell, I hate what he is. I had a friend who had become a hellborn, just like Grell. I watched my friend suffer through the changes and eventually he became a dark monster. It festered an' consumed everything he was. My friend's name was Damien Michel, but now you may know him by the name Sebastian Michaelis…" Eric said somberly.
"Bassy!?" Grell squealed.
"Yes, Sebastian was once my friend…but now he's a soulless demon. He remembers nothing of the past. It hurt losing my friend, that's why I have to cut Grell away. I can't watch Grell become something so dark destructive, it would hurt so much more. Grell, you're my little bro-…I mean sister…I don't to lose you too," Eric said almost a whisper. William moved his foot off of Eric and allowed him to stand, "I don't want to see you slip into something so horrid,"
"Nothing will turn Grell into a dark creature, I won't allow it," William said. Eric shook his head.
"Damn it Spears listen! Grell doesn't have a choice if he turns or not! You can't protect him…" Eric said as he marched out of the room. William sighed and turned back to his family. Grell was soothing the babies back into a nap; while he himself was a bit worried. William sat on the edge of the bed and brushed a hand on Grell's cheek.
"Don't mind him love…he's jus-"
"What if he's right?" Grell asked softly.
"What? Grell don't be ridiculous, that's not-"
"But William…what if I turn dark? What happens then? Do you have to start hunting me down like other demons? What happens to the babies? To us?" Grell asked.
"Grell, nothing is going to happen to you or our family. You'll be fine. I will protect you. The children will be fine," William assured as he kissed the redhead's forehead, "Here, let me hold the kids while you get dressed," William offered with his hands out. Grell gingerly handed off the twins and got out of the bed. He collected his cloths and went into the bathroom to dress; he needed to look fabulous.
After a few minutes, Grell came out of the bathroom; he was without his makeup (which William liked, he thought it nice see Grell in the natural).
"Ready to go?" William asked. Grell nodded and reached for the babies, "Hold on a minute; I bought something," William said as he handed the babies to Grell. The ravenette walked out of the room and came back with a black stroller. The stroller was just big enough for the two babies; Grell squealed with delight. He placed the babies in the carriage and hugged William.
"Oh Will! It's wonderful!" Grell thanked. William chuckled and hugged Grell back.
"I figured we would need it, so I bought it before you went into labor. It's be shear luck that it's large enough to hold two children," William admitted. The reaper kissed the vampire's forehead, "If you ever get pregnant again, please see a doctor so we know how many children we're having," Grell giggled and turned back to the stroller. The babies had woken up and were looking up at their parents. Grell smiled softly and kissed the twins on the cheeks.
"Hello babies~" Grell cooed. Grell started to wheel the stroller out of the hospital and out of the dispatch. William listened to Grell speak to their children; it was more like gibberish rather than English.
Eventually the family returned home; the twins were in their cribs sleeping and Grell was in the living room sitting on William's lap. Grell had braided his hair down one side and changed into only a long red sweater. The vampire deserved to relax after everything he'd been through. William simply wrapped an arm around Grell as he flipped through a book.
"Will?" Grell asked. William shut his book and kissed Grell's shoulder.
"Hmm?" The reaper replied.
"Is the association going to back now…and take all this?" Grell asked in somber tone. William sighed wrapped his other arm around Grell.
"Grell, for now the association has dropped us. This is a good thing. It's given us time together and you to be safe at home. It's given you time to carry the children and give birth. We should be very grateful for this time and whatever caused it, but I can't promise you anything about them. It's been a rather long time since they've dealt with us and I'm expecting them to come back soon. However, that doesn't change the amount of protection I'm giving you," William told him. Grell smiled and rubbed his finger over his engagement ring; William noticed, "Have you decided on anything?"
"What? Oh! Yes! I've chosen the colors. Red, white, and a bit of black as an accent. I'm getting fitted for my dress tomorrow, I've chosen my maid of honor, and that's about it. The rest I need you to help with," Grell answered.
"Help with what? It's your wedding," William said.
"No it's not! It's our wedding! I need you're help with choosing the date and venue! You need to pick a best man and get fitted for your suit. My goodness William~!" Grell shrieked, "And you need to get a little suit for William Jr." William smiled at Grell's demand of organization. Now why can't he be this efficient at work? The reaper thought comically.
"Alright, alright! I'll check my calendar and schedule some time off. As for a venue, I don't really mind. I'll go to the tailor next week to get fitted. As for William Jr., I'm sure you could find something. I don't have time to go baby shopping," William said. Grell pouted.
"Then what do you have time for? Hmm?" Grell asked. William spun Grell around in his lap and smirked.
"I have time to fuck you," William purred. Grell blushed and smacked William.
"William T. Spears, take this seriously! This is our wedding day we're talking about! And to respond to your little comment, I bared your children and frankly I have you on a leash, don't make me cut you off," Grell snapped.
"…sorry…" William mumbled. Grell moved off his lap and walked to their bedroom.
"You're on the couch tonight!" Grell called back. William internally smacked himself. Why did he say that? They were having a nice conversation, and it was rather serious one. Then he goes and says that! William fell back on the couch and groaned; he was going to have a lot of kissing up to do tomorrow morning.
