Over the next month and a half Sebastian's stomach swelled a bit, and he indeed looked four months pregnant. He got moody, clingy, tired and nauseous, usually all at the same time. Sebastian would snap at everyone a lot more often, even Claude. Claude and ciel were the ones who tried to calm him down though, them and Tanaka since the others were sniveling messes after Sebastian yelled. Claude consistently had to tell him off about caffeine intake, since he got cravings for tea now for some strange reason... he didn't even care for tea... he guessed the children would though, since the cravings for it were so strong... he'd also developed a craving for sweets, even though they still made his stomach churn. He guessed the kits would like human food... he hadnt been craving souls... Normal for some demon kids -who of course grew out of it after a while-.
Sebastian smiled as Claude rested a hand on his stomach. Claude was smiling as well, even though he was still a bit nervous about this whole thing. Sebastian was on a break right now. He rested his hand on top of Claude's and pressed closer to him.
"So... have you thought of any names?" Sebastian asked as he smiled, closing his eyes, content with just laying there in his lovers embrace.
"Yes actually... One of them is-" he was cut off as Ciel rang for Sebastian. The butler sighed, getting up with a groan. His back ached from laying down for so long...
"Save that thought love. I'll be back in a second... or a few minutes..." he said, having slowed down exceptionally from fatigue.
"Of course." He said, smiling a little... which was not such a rare occurrence now... Sebastian got up off the bed and strode to his masters study. He knocked twice.
"Are you okay, Sebastian? It took you five minutes just to get here..."
"I assure you i am fine, young master." Said the now human butler. "What did you need?"
"Bring me some scones... i'm hungry." He said, making Sebastian nod.
"Very good my lord. Anything else?"
"No. Thank you anyway, Sebastian." Ciel said, making Sebastian's eyes widen. Never once had Ciel said 'thank you'. Never. Sebastian shook himself and smiled.
"Yes, my lord. You're welcome." Sebastian said before leaving the room. He went to the kitchen and started to make the scones, blueberry... Young masters favorite. He sighed, starting to feel a bit sick. He didn't know when he had started humming... It seemed to help distract him from the nausea... But he only realized he was as he wheeled the cart down the hall way. He blushed deeply an stopped humming almost immediately.
"Here are your scones M'lord." He said, setting them on Ciel's desk. Ciel nodded and thanked his butler... Again this came as a shock to the expecting father.
"Have you helped tend to the courtyard?"
"Yes, i have... When would you like your bath, young master?"
"Hmm... After i eat my scones. I would like to retire early, since i have finished all of my paperwork and studies for today."
"So after the bath, my lord?"
"Precisely. You may retire early as well, Sebastian." He said. They heard a large crash just then, and after that they heard a loud explosion, making both men(ha... ciel... a man...) wince. Sebastian sighed heavily... "Well... You may as soon as you repair all of that and bathe me..."
"Very well..." He said with another sigh, leaving the room after being dismissed by his master. he ran a hand through his hair when he was the state of the kitchen and the hallway outside of it. Broken dishes were everywhere and the kitchen was in shingles. Mey-Rin started to ball on the floor where she still sat. Just then another crying person came running down the hall... Finnian. he skidded to a stop in front of Sebastian, yelling that the garden was on fire. Ciel came down, starting to practically scream at the other servants. Sebastian was at the edge now.
"ENOUGH!" He yelled. Then everything started to tilt and spin. "Everyone just...Stop..." He said in a very weak voice.
"Sebastian?" Ciel said gently, noticing his butlers change in tone. Sebastian collapsed backward into the wall, unconscious. this made everyone gasp.
"dammit! Mey-Rin, bard, take Sebastian to his room, Finny, help Tanaka repair everything. I'll go get Lord Faustus. Go. NOW!"
Ciel sighed... He knew one thing... Lord Faustus was going to kill him for this... he ran out the door and into the garden, which was where he found the new earl, in a now once again beautiful garden.
"Lord Faustus!" He called out, making the man turn aroung to face him. He was wearing an expensive looking suit instead of his normal attire. Ciel hadnt seen him since the day before yesturday... he must have gone shopping... ciel shook himself as he ran up to the ex-butler.
"Lord Faustus... Sebastian... he..." Ciel gasped out, heaving for breath. He did have asthma after all.
"What? What happened?" Claude asked hurriedly. He hoped his love was alright...
"Sebastian collapsed in the hallway." Ciel panted out. Claude went wide eyed, and then ran back to the manor. Stress was his guess on why sebastian had collapsed, and sebastian just might already be in need of a soul... he would have to steal souls for sebastian... the thought disgusted him. Stealing souls was a very lowly thing to do... but He would have to... he slowed to a walk as he approached the door. He didnt want sebastian to think he was worried, was the man awake by now. He opened the door to find sebastian either unconscious or asleep on the bed.
He went up to him and pressed two fingers to his neck, to check his heart beat. It was rapid and fragile upon his fingers. He sighed. Stress it was then.
