Chapter 7

Harry was walking down the alley with the Earl and Sebastian when a man from India bumped into the Earl.

"Ow, I think my arm is broken!" the man screamed.

Ciel blinked in shock and confusion.

"I highly doubt that is possible," Harry's eyes narrowed as protective instincts woke inside him.

"Better pay him little Earl," another man said as he walked up with a group.

Sebastian let out a deep, very low, guttural growl that only his mate could here, signaling that he did not like this group of men.

Harry responded with his own as he moved directly behind Ciel and placed a hand on his shoulder. "Watch out for a prince and his butler," he muttered into Ciel's ear, knowing that Sebastian heard him as well.

Ciel's eyebrow twitched as someone yelled for them to stop.

A young man, maybe an older teenager, with maroon hair and dressed in white shawl over a blue robe with yellow trim and white slacks walked from a side street with a man that had white hair right behind him dressed in green robes with white and yellow trim and with white slacks, but the most noticeable thing was that his right hand was wrapped in bandages.

"Them, Prince Soma and Agni, looking for someone named… Mina?" Harry hissed softly.

"Have any of you seen this woman?" the man Harry dubbed as Prince Soma asked, holding up a stick figure of a woman. "Wait is this a street brawl?"

"No dip Sherlock," Harry snarled quietly.

"Agni, we are joining our country men's side," Prince Soma said.

"Yes, my Prince," Agni said before jabbing at Sebastian's arms where a human's weak point would be.

Harry picked Ciel up and jumped back, just as Sebastian jumped back and took his place.

One of the thugs got over his shock and decided that the man dressed in a tutor's outfit and was holding the boy was less of a threat for him to take down. He punched Harry in the stomach, and he was surprised when the man didn't drop right away but yelped.

Ciel's temper flared just as Sebastian went from defensive to offensive to get to his mate's side faster. "Do you really just take a side in a street brawl without knowing any details? I, my butler and my tutor were just walking down the street when that guy bumped into us," Ciel barked out.

Prince Soma blinked and the fighting between Sebastian and Agni stopped. "Is this true that you attacked this child?" When he received no answer, he ordered Agni to switch sides.

A moment later, the ruffians were in an unconscious pile while Prince Soma and Agni watched as the butler and Earl crowded around the tutor.

"Is he injured?" Agni asked the butler as they slowly approached.

"Get away from him," Sebastian snarled, his eyes glinting dangerously.

"Selfish brat," Harry groaned as he moved his hand to his stomach and winced. That guy had a strong punch.

"What should we do?" Ciel hissed at Sebastian.

"Undertaker. Maybe we can find Lorabelle there, and she might know what to do," Sebastian said as he picked up his mate bridal-style.

"Really, I'm fine," Harry protested and winced again.

"You are not," Sebastian growled.

"Oh, is he okay?" Prince Soma asked.

"That is a stupid question," Ciel barked at the prince. "Now if you excuse us, my tutor is injured," Ciel said as he walked by the group.

"Aren't they funny Agni?" Prince Soma said with a laugh. "Oh well, let's be on our way then since we have our own business to attend to."

"Right, why don't we go down here?" Agni asked as they walked closer to another alley way.

Harry once again flinched as he pressed a cloth of snow against his side. "Well, at least our child wasn't harmed," he told Sebastian as he gave Ciel his tea when said demon gave him a look when he had flinched.

"That is beside the point. I just might eat that man's soul out of spite," Sebastian grumbled just as Lau walked in.

"Lau? What are you doing here?" Ciel asked just as his three servants showed up.

"Well, I found two lost kittens that said that they knew you," Lau said.

"You!" Ciel barked when he saw Prince Soma and Agni. "What the hell are you doing here?"

"Isn't it custom for one's saviors to be guests to the one that they saved?" Prince Soma asked, starting to head to a random room with Agni trailing him when he saw the tutor move off of the couch, clutching his stomach as if he was in pain.

"Saviors? Really? Do you know how much trouble that name brings?" Harry screamed.

"Harry!" Sebastian moved to his mate's side and brought Harry's back flush with his chest. "Calm down love," he whispered softly.

"You are just a selfish brat that knows nothing!" Harry screamed, ignoring Sebastian's advice. "This is all your fault," he snarled coldly.

Hormones again, Ciel thought as a drop of sweat rolled down his face. Hm, next minute he will probably crying, he mused.

"Um Sebastian, what is wrong with Harry?" Mey-rin asked as Harry continued yelling at Prince Soma and Agni.

"I'm afraid Mister Potter-"

"It's Potter-Black," Harry roared suddenly turning on Sebastian.

"Yes, terribly sorry, but you really never made that detail clear and plus, you didn't let me finish," Sebastian chided softly while Ciel shook his head.

Harry sniffed then. Anger disappearing as soon as it had come.

Crap, Ciel shook his head. I guess that is one way to get Harry to stop screaming like that. "Harry, why don't you go ask Madam Lorabelle if she would like to come over for dinner? I'm sure she would love to meet our guests," Ciel said, faking a smile.

"Okay!" Harry chirped and ran out the door.

"Young Master, you are bringing that crazy woman here?" Bard cried.

"She isn't that bad. A little loony, but we are ones to talk, especially you three," Ciel snorted.

Lorabelle arrived just in time for dinner with Harry who was sure he had a nice bruise on his side. She had just sat down with Ciel and Prince Soma who couldn't stop staring at her. Annoyed, she looked at him. "Yes?" she asked curtly.

"You are the most gorgeous woman I have ever seen," Prince Soma praised.

"I'm sure," Lorabelle replied with a snort. "I'd watch your back prince," she suddenly sneered.

"Huh?" Agni and Prince Soma looked at her with confused expressions.

"My brother was hurt because of your idiocy, and he may be older than me by a few seconds, but I will personally make people pay for hurting my dear brother. Ciel, can you later describe to me what that man looked like that punched him in the gut?" she asked, giving said boy a pointed, cold look.

"Of course," Ciel said, not interested in finding out what Lorabelle of capable or willing to do to him.

Lorabelle hummed when she sensed her brother's sudden interest. "Harry?"

Harry only hummed back in response since he was standing directly behind her.

"Come here," she ordered.

Ciel wondered what Lorabelle was going to do to her brother since he was suddenly spacing out. He hoped nothing drastic, and he watched as he leaned down to hear her since she motioned him to.

"What the hell are you thinking about?" she hissed quietly in his ear so that only he would hear her.

Harry only smiled.

"Is it your mate?" Lorabelle then hissed, causing a blush to form on his cheeks.

"If I was, then I'd be a tomato," Harry said into her ear.

Lorabelle snorted at the response. "Then what are you interested in?"

"I was thinking about a pickled pickle peanut butter and jelly sandwich," he purred at the thought.

Ciel watched Lorabelle's reaction to whatever Harry had told her. He blinked as she clapped hand over her mouth and gagged.

"Oh, and maybe some pancakes from McDonald's," Harry added. "Wait, or should I have Treacle tart with Pepperoni pizza?"

Lorabelle coughed. "Sebastian?"

"Yes my lady?" Sebastian responded, wondering what Harry could have said to make her act like she was going to be sick.

"I'll make sure to get you a cookbook," Lorabelle said. "You are so going to need it. Ciel, would you mind if I left one of my Riders here with you?" she then asked.

"What on ever for?" Ciel asked, slightly surprised that Lorabelle would even do that.

"Just like Sebastian, you are going to need one to get a few items, and I can't keep coming over here all the time. I'll make sure to leave him with special orders not to do anything that will warrant punishment," she then added.

"Fine," Ciel said with a groan while Sebastian stiffened ever so slightly from his already stiff posture.

Lorabelle nodded happily. "I think I'll leave Tobias with you. He's my best, and I hardly ever have to correct him," she said, shooing Harry back so that she could eat.

Harry thought about the food some more and blinked. "Or maybe a breaded chicken hamburger? Or Italian sausages tortellini?" he murmured.

"Yep, definitely an Italian cookbook," Lorabelle said, glancing pointedly at Harry then at Sebastian.

"Italian?" Ciel asked and then looked at Lorabelle with a raised eyebrow.

"Later," she said with a dismissive wave.

"Have you seen this woman?" Prince Soma asked as he held up the picture from earlier.

Ciel and Sebastian looked at one another. They knew that Harry would probably know, but he was probably still miffed at Prince Soma and Agni at the moment. Lorabelle… she was debatable, considering that she probably knew unless she decided to tease him, which was her style.

"Kind of cold for December, don't you think?" Lorabelle asked with a smirk.

"That doesn't answer my question!" Prince Soma yelled.

"Really, a drawing like that is useless. It gives no detail whatsoever, and you expect me to recognize her as someone you know? Shoot even I could be her with a little modifying," Lorabelle deadpanned.

She's heartless, Sebastian and Ciel thought unknowingly in unison.

"Please, surely you could recognize her if you saw her," Prince Soma pleaded before he went on to his life story.

"He's right it was boring~" Lorabelle said with a yawn.

Sebastian and Ciel shared another glance. Yep, she knew.

"Huh? Who?" Prince Soma asked with a tilt of his head.

"Arrogant, yep. Snobbish, yep." Lorabelle said as she pulled out a notebook and pencil from her dress and started to sketch something.

What is she talking about? Sebastian wondered with a twitch of his eyebrow.

Where does she keep those things? Ciel wondered.

Harry seemed to snap out of what fantasy he was in and winced.

Sebastian looked at him sharply and briefly wondered why he had yet to show any signs of his pregnancy. Was he faking it to gain attention?

"Nope, Glamour," Lorabelle said looking directly at him before turning back to her drawing.

"What is Glamour?" Prince Soma asked.

"Nothing that could possibly concern you," Lorabelle replied back swiftly.

"That is no way to treat a Prince!" Prince Soma yelled.

"When you are dealing with bad princes, it is… just ask Lucifer," Lorabelle said coldly.

"I demand you to treat me with respect!" Prince Soma yelled, standing up.

"I cannot treat someone with respect who I barely know, and I'll have you recall, you aren't in India anymore where people will grovel their faces into the sand at the mere sight of you," Lorabelle snarled. "You are in England now, looking for a woman that has supposedly been kidnapped. Harry, come. I want to play a couple of rounds of Snaps! before I leave," Lorabelle said with a slight smirk before she stood.

"She has a temper," Agni commented as they left.

"Yes, that she does, but… she is kind in her own way," Sebastian said watching his injured mate leave.

According to Lorabelle and Undertaker, the man had only bruised some skin, but he was constantly flinching anytime someone touched his stomach. It was sensitive, Lorabelle had said, knowing once again what was up but refused to share. She had even told Harry to go easy and rest more often, which was hard for him to do since he was used to working.

The next morning, Prince Soma had lost his attitude and Agni was currently nowhere to be seen.

Harry thought about it carefully and figured Sebastian had a talk with him. He was actually surprised when he found another thing he had been craving: Buckeyes. He was laughing like a kid when Ciel walked in with Sebastian and the two just stared at him like he had lost his mind. He noticed them with a large grin. "Ciel, Ciel, Ciel, Ciel, look at what Lorabelle left!" Harry pounced on his cub and showed him the strange round balls that were dark brown on the sides and bottom but was lighter at the top.

"What are they?" Ciel asked.

"Buckeyes," Harry chirped and handed him one before he offered Sebastian, who didn't dare say no in fear of provoking his mate's wrath.

Ciel took an experimental bite and was surprised to find a nutty taste and one he recognized: chocolate plus they were cold. "Where did you get these?"

"Madame Death made them specifically for her brother while we were at Houndsworth," Tobias said as he walked in.

"She did?" Harry then pounced on Tobias and grunted, and he closed his eyes in pain.

"Harry, what's wrong?" Sebastian asked him.

"Nothing really, I should really should sit down," Harry said as he collapsed into a chair.

"Here is the book Madame Death said you would need," Tobias then handed Sebastian an Italian cookbook with strange recipes that he never even heard of. "They are from our century or alter world, which I still don't understand how Treacle tart goes with Pepperoni Pizza," Tobias said with a shake of his head.

"Huh?" Sebastian and Ciel blinked. "Pepperoni Pizza?"

"In the book, along with whatever else Harry cooks up in that mind of his."

"Hey, I cannot help that I have cravings for strange food," Harry barked at him tiredly.

"Madame Lorabelle also said you should drop that Glamour at least while you are around your mate and cub," Tobias chided.

"Speaking of Glamour, what is it?" Sebastian asked.

"It is a spell that wizards and witches use to keep people from seeing something that they want to be seen. It also drains the user of energy much more quickly," Tobias explained.

"Drop it," Sebastian looked at his mate.

Harry shook his head.

"Drop it."

"No."

"Drop it."

"No."

"Why?" Ciel interjected seeing that the small argument was going nowhere.

"I'm fat," was the answer.

Ciel pinched the bridge of his nose again to stop the headache. "Just remove it already!" he barked.

Harry quickly canceled the spell and looked anywhere but his mate and cub as he laid down on the couch. Now that he wasn't using the spell what energy he had left him as his breathing became labored.

Sebastian sat next to his mate and combed his fingers through his mate's hair. "Why didn't you tell me you were carrying so much weight?" he asked his mate tenderly, remembering how many times Harry just opted to stay in their room most of the time they went on a mission for the queen.

"Because I'm fat," Harry started crying.

"You are pregnant," Sebastian said sternly as he kissed his mate's forehead. "And when are you due?"

Harry's eyes suddenly narrowed though the tears still in his eyes ruined the affect. "What do you mean when am I due?"

Sebastian blinked at Harry's sudden change in mood. Really, he should be used to this. How many times did he say something to make Harry upset in a day? This couldn't be healthy for their child. Of course, the books that Lorabelle had Tobias buy him said that mood swings were common but they didn't spike over nothing. "I just can't wait to meet our child. That is all," he murmured so gently that only Harry heard him besides Tobias, who wisely kept his mouth shut.

"In a couple of months," Harry finally admitted, losing his anger completely the moment Sebastian kissed him fully on the lips.

Ciel looked away as did Tobias until they broke apart a few seconds later. "Sebastian, you need to get started on the curry again if you are going to win the Royal Warrant," he said.

"Yes, my lord," Sebastian said as he stood.

Harry blinked, and he fought to sit up.

Sebastian noticed and helped him into a sitting position. "Something wrong?" he asked.

"Chocolate, come, I'll show you… I hope," Harry muttered and casted the Glamour over himself once again.

Ciel ran into Lau and Ran Mao at the Curry Festival where the Queen appeared with her butler, Ash Landers who Harry still didn't like. Ciel shook his head, remembering Harry's reaction.

/Flashback

Sebastian was dressing Ciel up in case the Queen showed at the Curry Festival. He was slightly upset that Harry didn't want to go, but he couldn't blame his mate considering that he looked very uncomfortable since he stopped using the Glamour unless someone that didn't know Harry was pregnant was around.

Harry stood in the doorway, smiling. "Don't you look nice," he purred and dropped the Glamour only to shift most of his weight onto the doorframe.

"Careful, don't break the doorway," Ciel said with a chuckle.

Harry looked at the frame with fear.

"You aren't going to break it love," Sebastian said. "You are much more careful with your strength than Finny is," he then laughed.

Harry smiled. "So what is the occasion for you to dress up?" he asked Ciel.

"Don't you remember?" Ciel asked him, looking up sharply.

Harry's eyes became cold and fiery. "Oh hell no. You are not going with that bastard creature there," he growled.

"Um? Then the Queen is coming?" Ciel asked.

Harry nodded curtly and huffed. "Fine, I'll go to."

"You don't have to go," Sebastian said, not wanting his mate to stress himself out.

"I'm going," Harry said with a tone of finality.

"Alright, we better find something a tutor would wear to a Curry Festival," Sebastian said with a sigh as he moved his mate off of the doorway.

Ciel laughed the moment they were gone. Sometimes he wasn't sure if Sebastian knew what to do with his mate, which was cause to laugh even harder.

/Flashback end.

Ciel watched as his 'mother', he still had no idea what to call him when they were alone together though he had settled on 'aunt' for Lorabelle, glared death at Ash who was obviously trying to figure out what that look meant because unless you knew Harry, his eyes had too many secrets and emotions for them to focus on just one.

The Viscount, wait when did he get out? Ciel thought, started praising Agni's dish, which of course made Ciel shudder inside.

Then Sebastian came up with three raw pieces of dough. He set them down much to the confusion of the judges, and he then picked them back up and dropped them into a deep fryer, much to the shock of the judges and the crowd.

"Hey Sebastian! What are ya' doing? We ain't making doughnuts here, ya' know?" Bard shouted.

Harry smirked and ruffled Ciel's hair, much to said boy's annoyance as he glared up at the demon.

Ciel's eyes widened when Harry flinched and placed a hand on his side, opposite to the one that had been punched just a couple of days ago.

"I'm fine," Harry said softly and smile gently at him.

Ciel nodded and watched as the judges had orgasms from tasting Sebastian's curry, that he now called a curry bun. He actually shuddered when the Viscount mentioned a 'Robin' flitting through the forest, obviously referring to the night that Ciel had to go to a ball dressed as a lady though Harry made for an excellent lady as well.

The tasting for the crowd started and everyone in the Phantomhive's group went to find the brat prince except for Harry and Sebastian, who was concerned about his mate standing on his feet.

"Really, Sebastian," Harry began but was interrupted when he flinched. "Okay, too much excitement," Harry placed a hand on his side.

"What's wrong?" Sebastian asked, leading his mate to a secluded area.

"I forgot they start kicking about this time," Harry mumbled as he slowly massaged his side.

"Huh?"

"The baby love," Harry flinched again. "Ugh, I'll be glad when this little monster is out of me. He is such a kicker," Harry groaned this time when he received another just as his side shuddered as Sebastian place a hand right where the baby was about to kick.

He looked up in surprise at Harry only to see him laughing weakly, and Sebastian smirked. "We should get back," he said softly.

Harry nodded and followed his mate just in time for his mate to serve a curry bun to the queen, which made the 'demon' spice to react with the darkness in the hearts of people. He watched Sebastian fight several people with a ladle, and then Ciel ran up to protect the Queen. "Ain't happening," he growled when his cub was surrounded by the possessed people. He ran forward and knocked them out with a flick of a hand. "Ciel, are you okay?" he asked, panting heavily.

Ciel blinked. "You shouldn't be out here fighting," Ciel said quickly.

"I'm fine," Harry mumbled tiredly. "The curry buns," he then said quietly.

Ciel blinked and realized that the people who ate curry buns and the curry with the demon spice were fine. "Sebastian, feed them the curry buns!" he yelled.

"Yes, my lord," Sebastian said while tossing the buns at the infected people.

Ciel shook his head at his butler's antics, and it was so like him to infuse kindness into a curry bun, which was a joke considering that Sebastian was a demon.

Prince Soma was crying at the loss of his Mina and had Ciel in a death grip while Agni and Sebastian were talking about rivers, sunsets and friends.

"Get off! You are getting my clothes wet!" Ciel screamed, causing Harry to snicker quietly from his place on the fountain. Some things just never changed.

"Careful little lord, if Lorabelle hears you say that, then what on earth would she think?" Harry purred.

"I'd think a love triangle was going on," a voice said, coming from the shadows, which caused all the humans to jump.

"Lorabelle!" Harry got up as his sister walked out of the shadows.

When did she get here? Bard thought, scratching the back of his head.

She certainly is pretty as ever, Finny smiled.

She's kind of scary, Mey-rin thought as she adjusted her glasses.

She has a very dark aura, Lau hummed and looked at Ran Mao, who he assumed was thinking about a competing tigress.

"Eep," Prince Soma put Ciel between himself and Lorabelle.

Lorabelle hugged her brother gently. "You shouldn't be out with your illness being the way it is," she chided him.

"I know, but I didn't what that creature around him," Harry whined softly. "Of course some things haven't happened yet… like that circus and Ciel getting abducted by the other creature," Harry murmured softly.

"Yes well, I'm going to put you on bed arrest until you give birth," Lorabelle growled quietly into his ear.

Harry looked away as Lorabelle greeted the others. He walked over to Sebastian and watched as Lorabelle teased Ciel and Prince Soma until both were blushing a cherry red before leaving them be and greeting Sebastian and Agni.

"You seemed to have changed a bit," Agni commented.

"Ah, yes well, I think I finally found someone to keep me happy," Lorabelle purred.

"Who?" Agni asked cautiously.

"You wouldn't have met him yet, but the butler knows him."

Sebastian frowned. "Undertaker?"

Lorabelle just smiled.

Harry busted out laughing at the look on Ciel's face. "I'm sure you two will be a perfect match," Harry said between gasps and then flinched, effectively ruining his mood. Then the cursed cravings started. "Treacle tart and pizza," Harry grumbled as he turned away.

Lorabelle and Sebastian blinked at that as they and everyone else followed except Prince Soma and Agni who were going to go travel the world now.

"At least it isn't chicken dipped in chocolate," Sebastian muttered.

Ciel shivered at that. "That wasn't very delicious," he muttered as well.

Lorabelle checked Harry over in the privacy of his room with Sebastian and Ciel sitting on the other bed. "Well, no damage appears to be done by going out today though I still don't think you should be going to London," she muttered.

Harry happily popped a Treacle tart into his mouth before grabbing a slice of pizza.

"Do, um, mothers generally have so many different cravings?" Ciel finally asked.

"It isn't unheard of though there usually is a favorite," Lorabelle said.

"Well, he doesn't have a favorite," Sebastian grumbled.

Lorabelle simply nodded as she watched her brother eat. He was steadily becoming the man she knew when he was 17 and was semi-happy with his life though he had been grieving the loss of friends, his original Soulmate and going through the effects of war. She shrugged then and then looked at her brother's swollen belly that was much bigger than it should be for one child. However, she didn't have the right spells or the right equipment to see exactly how many children her brother was carrying inside of him.

Alright, Okay couple of things, Ciel hasn't gone visited the church yet where he finds out Angela is an angel, and he has been sent on minor missions since Houndsworth, which is why Ciel didn't that the Viscount was out. No fair yet.

Review as always, and I just might start making stuff up since I'm running out of ideas. I'm thinking of adding Alois soon and Claude though Alois has a different goal in mind (and Claude still wants Ciel) for some reason I think that will made it somewhat hilarious with two demons gaining up on a third.

Any pairings you would like to see? Any omakes you want done?

Lizzie might come in soon, any ideas on what to do with her?

What do you all think of Harry's food cravings? Some of them were mentioned as suggestions.

Another thing, sorry if it seems rushed, but Harry isn't around most of the time since he stays in the bedroom to give specific details, and if you have seen the anime, you know what happens except maybe the first part of the episode where Prince Soma wakes Ciel up. May save that for another scene.
