Tanaka was left with all of Sebastian's duties after he fainted, and he would continue to have them until the demon woke. It had been almost two days... two days of severely guilty servants, two days of a very worried Claude that would never leave Sebastian's side, two days of Ciel not being able to playfully tease the butler about his weight, all in all it was an absolutely miserable time for the Phantomhive household. Ciel hadn't realized how much life Sebastian gave the mansion, which was pretty ironic considering he was a demon...

Claude sighed, he couldn't understand how Sebastian could have gotten that stressed in such a short time... he had been fine earlier... he hadn't been showing any signs of stress, other than clinging to him a bit more tightly than usual... but Sebastian was very subtle, even when moody and pregnant he doesn't like to worry people. But how could he have not been getting dizzy from the stress at least? He heard a small moan and his eyes shot towards the demon in question. Sebastian rolled over in his sleep, making another noise of discomfort. The smaller butlers eyes opened drowsily. He hissed in a breath and his eyes snapped shut tightly.

"C-Claude..." Sebastian whimpered. "...Something's... ...n-not right..."he gasped out the last few words. Claude went wide eyed before -as gently as possible- he flipped Sebastian onto his back. He pressed his hand onto Sebastian's stomach, focusing on the children's auras and heart beats. He felt a kick against his hand and Sebastian whimpered. Claude felt relieved, happy, and a bit horrified all at the same time. So Sebastian's pregnancy would be a quick one... seven or eight months instead of nine or ten. For demon pregnancy if the baby starts kicking at four months, give or take a half or so, the demons pregnancy will be about a month shorter. He let out a breath he had apparently been holding.

"Sh... its fine... your fine... everyone's okay. The kits are just kicking a bit early." He whispered to his distressed lover. The panic in Sebastian's eyes faded, and he sighed in relief. He grunted as they kicked his inner walls again... it wasn't a pleasant experience... it felt like a punch to the gut to him... lest to say it hurt a lot... Claude climbed into the bed with Sebastian and stroked his hair to comfort him. When another whimper fell from the expecting fathers lips Claude moved his hand from Sebastian's hair to his slightly swelled stomach. His fingers danced across the pale skin, and Sebastian sighed as the kicks became less painful... But he knew they would only get worse from there on.

Sebastian sighed, rubbing his temple as he scolded finny for destroying the garden, and of course, it had to be when Lady Elizabeth was visiting with a friend. Ciel had tried to re-schedule, but Elizabeth insisted. he was still in his fourth month, so he wasn't showing enough for it to be noticeable. He, with Claude's help, had managed to fix a charred kitchen, a burning garden, and also replace the fine china Mey-Rin had broke, just as the carriage could be heard arriving. Claude had suggested that he act as a second butler for Ciel, so that he could accompany then on missions and things to help Sebastian protect the little boy, and so that Elizabeth wouldn't get confused.

Sebastian and Claude waited outside for Elizabeth. when she stepped out she frowned. Sebastian had helped her out, Claude and he had welcomed her and then Claude helped her purple-ette friend out. "Pardon me sir, but who are you?" Claude smiled slightly. 'Goodness i hope our daughter wont have that kind of voice, were we to have a daughter' He thought.

"I am Claude Faustus. I will be working here for a while. Sebastian recommended me, and we are now both the head butlers of the phantomhive estate."

'Oh, well nice to meet you. Where is Ciel?"

"Master Ciel is in the main hall waiting for you, Lady Elizabeth." She squeaked once he was finished.

"Come on Lavender!" She said, dragging her purple haired friend inside.

"Slow down Lizzy!" gasped the girl. She let go of Elizabeth's hand once they were in the main hall. Claude and Sebastian exchanged a glance.

"She's a demon..." Whispered Claude. Sebastian nodded. her body language and eye color gave her away. Her eyes were a dark purple hue, and she was very confident when she walked and moved.

they walked inside and smiled at Elizabeth and the guest. "and who might you be?" Ciel said. The girl named Lavender smiled and curtsied.

"I am Lavender Longheart, and it is a pleasure, Lord Phantomhive." Ciel felt a blush spread on his cheeks as he looked the girl over, she was a bit taller than Lizzy, much more mature and shy, and had beautiful long purple hair. It was almost past her knees. She actually had a bit of bust and figure, unlike Lizzy. For once he was actually looking at someone...

"And it is a pleasure to you, Lavender." Ciel said with a graceful bow. Lizzy grinned. It was working. She truly did love Ciel, but he didn't share the feeling, only thinking of her as responsibility he had inherited. He deserved to be happy. So she'd found Lavender and offered her clothes and a place to stay, she had been living on the streets.

"Ciel, could you possibly let Lavender stay here? She has no-where to go... My parents would only let her stay for a night..." She said, wanting Ciel to spend quality time with her. "You'll love her, she plays chess, rides horse-back, loves earl grey, and so much more!" Sebastian went wide eyed. A demon could mean trouble... Especially if the young master falls in love with her.

"Of course Lizzy..." Said Ciel.

Over the next week Lavender became all Ciel could think of. He loved her. He broke off the engagement with Lizzy after seeing that she felt the same, all in a weeks time. Ciel new she was a demon. On her eighteenth birthday she would freeze. that would also be Ciel's eighteenth birthday. So they would turn him into a demon on their birthday. Sebastian wasn't happy with the idea, but he could see that it would crush lavender to be separated from Ciel... So he could find another soul. Sebastian also started to show more clearly as he entered his fifth month. Lavender had been very happy at the news that someone she knew was pregnant. She loved kits, and Claude thought she could be a cousin, or big sister of sorts, to their kits. As well as Ciel could be a big brother of sorts.
