A/N: Hello! Had fun On my vaca! Thought i'd give a shout out for my one cheerleader BlackButlerFan13! Keep it up! Loving your reviews!
Claude sighed, sebastian had been rather shaken up by the kidnapping. He was very beaten up as well. The physical injuries did not help the mental ones what-so-ever... it was the middle of the night, and claude was gathering his thoughts, he had promised sebastian he would stay outside the door at had made sure sebastian was asleep though, before he had left. He winced as he heard a scream come from the room he was standing outside of and ran into the room. The sight before him made his heart ache. Sebastian lay panting and shaking and thrashing on the bed, covered in cold sweat. Claude went to his mates side, shaking him and calling his name, trying to end the pain-filled nightmare.
"Sebastian! Wake up! SEBASTIAN!" Claude yelled. Sebastians eyes opened, wild and a pinkish purple color, the black slits a bit larger, he was feverish, burning up, his eyes faded into his regular crimson after a moment. Sebastian let loose a small sob, relaxing into claude and crying softly. "Shh... sh... it was only a dream love... no-one will ever take you from me ever again. I will not let that happen. Never. I will stay by you until you send me away. Until death do we part..."
"Wh-Why would i send you away...? I-I love you..."
"As i love you, my dearest sebastian. I would like to give you something.
"And what would that be, my love?"
"My... name. My name is Demoriel."
"I am honored. And, my name is Raum, Raum Michaelis. But of course you already knew that~ As i am one of the seven direct children of Satan."
Once Sebastian was on the mend he went back to his master. One problem though. The next week from when he got back he had found another sign of pregnancy other than fatigue.
He was gaining weight!
He sighed, trying to get his pants buttoned... His fourth try! He finally buttoned them around his hips and got dressed the rest of the way. He sighed again... no hiding it any longer... he would have to tell his master. "Might as well do it now..." he said to himself. He pulled on his tailcoat and went to wake his master. Claude had given him a note to give Ciel for when he told him. It gave reasons on what he shouldnt do, and how he shouldnt be out in the field, and clearified that he was indeed pregnant.
"Young master, time to wake up. Its a lovely morning." Sebastian said, suddenly cheery for some reason... oh god he hoped it wasnt mood swings...
"Huh... mm... Whats my schedule?"
"Well today, you have a meeting with the funtom company finance manager. And today's breakfast will be blueberry hot cakes(pancakes) with three berry syrup and a whipped topping." Ciel nodded, then frowned, grabbing Sebastians hand as he was dressed. "Since when did you wear a ring?"
"I... Well... That goes along with what is in this letter." He said, taking the letter from his breast pocket and giving it to his little master. Ciel frowned, he read the letter once, then he read it again, but this time, his eyes were wide with shock. Finally, he composed himself, and said, "And wh-what does this have to do with the ring?"
"I... Got married... to the person who helped to make the children."
"So you're really... pregnant... sebastian?"
"Indeed sir."
"And did you sleep with a man or woman to make the children...?"
"A man, my lord, another demon, the man who wrote that letter. Also, i'm afraid i'll need new clothes tailored..."
"Hmph... And why is it that you need new clothes?"
"I've gained some weight recently... the reason for that is plain as day though."
"Alright, we'll get your clothes let out before my meeting. We'll have to tell the servants."
"Indeed. When shall we do that?" Sebastian asked a little nervously. Ciel smirked.
"How about right now?"
"Alright then. I'll go get them."
"No, why dont i get them? You are supposed to take it easy and you'll definitely be stressed if they managed to destroy everything already."
"I assure you i am perfectly capable."
"I'll go get them Sebastian."
"Yes, my young lord."
"Meet me in my study." And with that, ciel walked out of his room, having eaten his breakfast during their conversation. Sebastian imiediately went to Ciel's study, sighing and running a hand through his hair. He rubbed his eyes. The tiredness hadnt faded... he knew that he also looked as bad as he felt... He tried to stand a little straighter as the door opened and mey-rin, finny, Tanaka, and bard were pushed into the room by Ciel. Ciel smirked again and walked up to Sebastian, standing beside him. "Everyone, we have some... Interesting news... I expect you all to have realized something off about sebastian?"
"He seems more strict."
"No he's not he's been more lenient, yes he has!"
"Sebastian has gotten married while he was away, and... on an even more interesting note, he is with child..." he said, wincing as they all exclaimed:
"WHAT?!"
"You know, pregnant."
"H-How?"
"Well... I'll explain that later with Sebastian's permission. But now you will need to make sure you do your jobs correctly. Sebastian is carrying twins, and needs to take it easy. He will still cook the meals, with bards help, and he will help finny in the courtyard, but Tanaka will take over his morning duties." Sebastian tried to smile calmly, even though he was absolutely mortified.
"Well... Congratulations Sebastian!" Said mey-rin.
"Yeah, may i?" Finny asked shyly.
"You may..." he said, smiling slightly as finny put a hand on his stomach, feeling the tiny bump...
"Wow..." said finny.
"So how far along are you?" Asked bard.
"Two and a half months gone..."
"That was the last time you went out on your night off. Is that what you do on your time off?" Bard snickers. Sebastian shot him a glare and then scoffed.
"Its not like i haven't caught you more than once with a random woman in your room! At least i'm not just having sex!" Sebastian was practically about to cry. Must be his hormones.
"Bloody hell Sebastian i'm sorry, just calm down will ya?"
"I apologize... I think i'm getting a little hormonal..."
"Ya think..." he muttered under his breath. Sebastian glared, but then looked down, sniffing. Ciel frowned.
"Bard, now that you've hurt Sebastian's feelings you can take over all his duties for today, and take all his morning duties for the next few months." Ciel said sternly. Bard groaned lightly. Now the scariest man he knew was gonna be all hormonal...
"Alright..." He groaned.
"alright then everyone, back to work! And do it CORRECTLY!"
"Young master you really didn't have to do-"
"Its better they get used to your mood swings now... You're partner said that they could get quite aggressive, and i want them to know their place with you as well. We cant have them underestimating you, especially if you get into a bad mood." Ciel said, snickering slightly at the thought of the demon having even worse mood swings... He might have fun watching Sebastian like this for the next six and a half months... "Oh, also i would like to meet this partner of yours. I would find it interesting to see who could bed bed you successfully. Tell him he's invited over for tea this Afternoon, before my meeting."
"Very well, Shall i tell him now?"
"Yes, go ahead. And i also want you preparing this Afternoons tea, so that he's not repelled by bards disastrous cooking and tea making."
"Alright, i shall do so immediately." He said, and with that Sebastian was off and on his way to get his lover. Afternoon tea was an hour away, so he had just enough time. he ported to Claude once out of everyone's sight. Porting apparently took a lot of energy now he was human and pregnant, for when he arrived he immediately felt overwhelmingly light headed, stumbling right into Claude. Claude caught him, frowning deeply and holding him close as Sebastian struggled to regain his composure.
"Nice to see you love~" Sebastian said once composed. Claude laughed, something you dont see very often.
"And to you as well love. Pray tell, what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be at your masters side?"
"Yes. But he wanted to meet 'The one who bedded me successfully' as he says. Though we both know it is more than that~"
"Indeed. And on your next birthday you will rule the lands of our realm with me alongside you, and we shall be together for an eternity." Said Claude in a loving tone.
"Of course, even if i was not of royal blood, we shant part until the black suns of hell burn out, and in death do us part, and even then, we shall meet again, in whatever hellish afterlife awaits us."
"I love you, Sebastian. When shall i come over?"
"Now would be lovely. I have yet to prepare the tea but you two can talk until then, yes?"
"Very well, love." He said, taking Sebastian's hand and porting them back.
Claude went to Ciel's study and knocked on the door.
"Come in." He said, smiling and gesturing for him to take a seat after he'd opened the door. The smile was out of curiosity, instead of happiness though.
"You must be lord phantomhive. Nice to meet you."
"And you are Claude Faustus. Excuse me, Lord Faustus now, isn't it? The trancy lord passed everything down to his butler, including his title?"
"Yes, that is correct."
"And you are a demon?"
"Indeed."
"So, tell me, are demons capable of such things as love?"
"Well... if it is possible... yes i believe Sebastian and i are the closest we can get to it.
"A very lucky thing to acquire seeing as where you are from. And, i haven't been told much, but can demons raise children successfully in hell?"
"Yes actually. Some think we are just monsters, but we are not. We can raise children, have families, care for our families and relatives... We are more civilized than humans give us credit for after all. We can be as loyal as anyone else."
"Ah... Loyalty... something i had always thought demons weren't capable of..."
A chuckle from Claude.
"So what is hell like? It cannot be as bare as people say it is if it can be an environment for children."
"It is not bare what-so-ever. We even get a few moments of sunlight, so plants grow in our realm as well. Black and white roses... red grass... the silver leaves on the trees. And then you have the mansions and castles, the small peasant houses and taverns. Indeed hell is no-where near barren."
"Well then i guess that wasn't exactly what i had pictured...Okay, so back to what i really wanted to ask you. How do we contact you, should something happen with Sebastian?"
"I was wondering about that as well... the phone lines at the trancy or now the Faustus estate are gone... because people continuously called about the death of earl trancy. People were Thinking it suspicious that the young earl left everything to me and not his uncle."
"Ah. well i don't think it very suspicious. I will probably give this manor to Sebastian when he takes my soul. Maybe you can live here with him in-between contracts... Unless you plan to live in hell, which now that i think about it the demon realm does not sound all that bad... Well, back on topic, i can allow you to stay here... If you'd like? So you can keep an eye on him..." Ciel said.
"I wouldn't want to impose on you... But alright..."
"Why dont you go grab your things? I expect your as fast as Sebastian, so you could be back before The tea goes cold."
"Of course, Lord Phantomhive." And with that Claude had disappeared. Ciel snorted as a few minutes later he heard the doorbell ring.
"L-Lord Faustus! But i thought you were with Young Master yes i did!" Said mey-rin.
"I left after a moment of talk to gather my things. You see, lord phantomhive has allowed me to stay with him for the duration of Sebastian's pregnancy." He said as if it was nothing that the butler was pregnant.
"O-Okay..."
