It felt oddly normal at the manor like nothing has changed even after Sebastian built the manor yesterday. It was only Sebastian and I since the servants were going to come back home with Ciel later on this week. I stared at the window in the room that I was first placed in when I came here. I closed my eyes, inhaling deeply as I felt tired.

"Don't fall asleep just yet." My body jumped as I was startled by Sebastian who appeared out of nowhere behind me. "Sorry. Didn't mean to scare you." His hands was placed on my shoulders, gently moving them back and forth, massaging them nicely as I felt calm.

"It's fine." I completely leaned against his muscular chest, wanting to feel more of his kindness that he was offering me. I closed my eyes once more...

"I told you not to sleep." He strictly reminded me, gripping softly on my face as he turned my head to look at him. "Don't pout. You don't want to ruin your sleep cycle." He leaned in, pecking my pink lips. His lips were soft, very soft. I could even compare it to a baby's butt.

"You've changed so much since the day I met you." I whispered softly.

"Because I realized many things that happened with or without you. You mean something in my life. You're not a thrown ragdoll that was used up, you're a kitty who was thrown at me and I picked you up to care for." He pushed me down onto the bed, crawling over me.

"In your own way of 'caring'." I recalled the memories of him being so 'caring'. "But how is a ragdoll compare to a kitty? It doesn't make sense, Sebastian…" I looked dumbfounded at him.

"Well," He flopped over next to me. "Because I love kitties, you're my kitty, and this baby is my kitty too." He placed his white gloved hand on my lower stomach where the fetus was taking place. "I feel the heartbeat of the child. I'm glad that it's still alive even after what you've gone through." He started to scooch in as his arms were wrapping around me. "Your belly is a bit bigger than before."

"I see or feel no difference in my body. It feels like I'm not even pregnant at all to be honest." I glanced down at my belly.

"You just need to eat and then our baby will grow."

"Eat souls." I scoffed, then I turned a thought I had into a question. "But are you sure it isn't babies?" I asked.

"No it's not. There was only one heartbeat that was felt. The heartbeat wasn't irregular or anything, it was normal, one twenty to one sixty beats per minute. Don't worry. I'll protect the both of you." He face leaned in closer to kiss my lips, stroking my hair back.

"Let's explore around town. I don't want to stay inside the manor right now."

"Aren't you tired from yesterday?" He pecked my lips again.

"I'm never tired with you." I chuckled at my cheesiness, then becoming embarrassed of what I said.

"Sure. Let us go." He got off of me, standing next to the bed with a hand outward to me. "I'll help my little woman up." He smiled sweetly, as I took his hand into mine.

"Thank you, my handsome demon." My heart was thumping of how sweet he was acting. He has changed so much throughout my absence, and so have I. How did it come to this? Loving a man who was cruel to me at first then turning into a man who actually showed he cared and love me. We just needed to be hit by something to realize that we're both important to each other, especially if we're having a child.

We were out on the street of London as we strolled around after what happened yesterday. It legit felt like there wasn't a dying London here no more. It was like God or Mother Earth gave birth to London again. Nothing was damaged or burnt, everything was back to normal. How odd?

"Sebastian, let me ask you a question." I looked up at him as he was focused on walking.

"That is?"

"How many women have you been with?" It was a question that came out of nowhere, but I was really curious about it since he is a demon who lives a long time. He choked on his own saliva as he clearly heard what I said. "Hmmm?" I leaned closer to him. "I'm not going to be jealous. It's natural for a demon to have past lovers." I snickered.

He stopped walking, making me stop as well to see what's up. He bent down to my left ear and I felt his warm, hot breath next to it. I was shaking inside to see what he'll say. He opened his mouth, "That's a secret that'll never be telling."

"Okay. I see…" I pursed my lips in a thin line, making my dimple visible.

I felt a pinch on my cheek that was from Sebastian pinching me. "Don't be glum. It's not the right time that's it." He now patted my redden cheek after he released it from his forefinger and thumb.

"Yeah, sure. I feel stupid to ask that question. I'm not mad just to tell you." I huffed out, straining my face to look neutral.

"Liar." He threw his arm around my shoulders. "I'll tell you everything about me when the child is out and when you gain more trust in me. I know we love each other, but that doesn't we can't trust and bond even more than we have now." He snaked his arm around my waist, pulling me in.

"I guess…" I shrugged my shoulders.

"Well, isn't it Sebastian Michaelis." A smooth yet monotone voice spoke out to Sebastian.

We both turned our heads to see who it was. "Claude Faustus." Sebastian grumbled, glaring at the man Claude Faustus. I stared up at him, not wanting to interrupt their moment as I listened. "What are you doing here in town?" There was tension between the two men.

"Why can't I not explore London? I can-" His eyes quickly shifted from Sebastian to me as if he just spotted me. His yellow-golden eyes were staring at me. It felt creepy. I started to get chills as goosebumps started to rise on my arms.

"Sebastian…." I mumbled in a shaky voice, slowly turning my head away from Claude Faustus.

"Please refrain yourself from looking at my woman." Sebastian tighten his hold around me, protecting me from this creeper. I felt his heat as my face was pressed against his chest.

"It's hard not to look at her as her scent is desirable to the nose. I wonder how she'll taste like." His hand extended outward to touch me, but Sebastian with his great reflexes, slapped his grimy hand away from me.

"Get your own woman." My fuming black haired crow was getting stiff and annoyed with every second as he spoke to him.

"L-let's just go, Sebastian." I glanced up at him then back down to the ground.

"Yes we will." He shined down his most caring smile as he covered my head with his tail coat.

He walked me away from Claude and went to the carriage. He helped me inside then came in, shutting the carriage door and sat across from me. "Sebastian, who is Claude Faustus?" I asked.

"He's a demon like me, a spider demon. He serves the Trancy household. His little blonde bastard that he serves, he wants to have the young master. I don't know why but he does. They've been on his tail for quite some time now…. And now Claude is going to get you as well after this encounter." He intensely stared at me, then began to get up as he crawled to me, eyes stilling locking.

"Sebastian, you're not jealous, are you?" He grabbed my hands, laying his head on my lap as if it's a cushion.

"I'm trying to protect you from any men that's going to take you away from me and this child." His voice vibrated on my skirt as his face was facing the fabric of my skirt.

"Jealous."

"No."
