Mentions Evian's birth, but nothing graphic, skipping this chapter should have no effect on the rest of the story if this is not of interest to you.

Sebastian pulled Ciel into his arms as the younger demon searched through the box of letters.

"It's going to be a bit out of order," Ciel said. "But I'd like us to read it together. There's several of them, but for tonight, this one is perfect."

"I can't full express how much I've learned thus far from your letters. I want you to know that I've been reading them carefully. Some of it I dare say has broken my heart, to know only what I saw you go through and to see into-"

"Well you won't have to worry about that with this one, you'll like this letter. It's one of my favorites. If you look at the date, you should understand why." Ciel settled back against Sebastian, removing the paper from the envelope and unfolding it. "Ready?"

Sebastian took hold of the side closest to him, immediately taking note of the first line.

"My dearest Sebastian," He read out loud, turning to look at Ciel,who was now smiling. "That's certainly a new greeting. I don't think you've ever called me that before."

"Special circumstances call for special greetings. Keep reading, you'll understand soon." Ciel promised. Sebastian kissed the top of his mate's head before continuing.

My Dearest Sebastian,

I can't begin to describe to you how I'm feeling right now.

I have so many emotions filling my heart, So much..love.

Today, after twenty-three hours of the worst pain I'd ever felt in my entire life and that is saying something, Our little Evian is finally here and he is perfect.

The second I heard him cry, knowing he was all right and here with us, I just felt this..elation fill my heart. Your mother was right, the pain didn't matter in that moment.

I held him and it was the most amazing thing in the world. He looked up at me with his beautiful red eyes and everything was right in my world. I knew only that I love our son more than my own life. Until today, I didn't know it was possible to love anyone or anything this much. How can something so perfect come from things like us?

Now, hours later, I look over and see him sleeping in his cradle and think how fortunate you and I are. Evian is health and happy, and I couldn't ask for anything more than that.

I couldn't have done this without you, Sebastian. If you weren't so calm through it all, all these months..if you weren't as loving and gentle with me as you are..I don't think I could've done it. You've been my strength through everything.

When I gave him to you, I could see the exact moment he melted your heart. I saw in you the same happiness that you showed when telling your family about him and more. For that alone, all of this was worth it. You kissed his head and snuggled him, I could only think how amazing you are with him. I'm truly glad I didn't consider the alternative. I love you both so much, I just can't say it enough.

I could go on forever just trying to give you all the words I have right now, for you, for our little one..Unfortunately, I'm absolutely exhausted and I haven't got much strength left, I can actually feel it draining from my body as I write. We'll have to remember to thank your mother as well.

As tired ans weak as I am right now, I can say this, I've never been this truly happy and I have you and our precious little Evian to thank for that.

Sebastian folded the paper, placing it into the envelope and back into the box. Ciel sat up, turning to face his mate.

"Where do I begin with this one?" The older demon asked, taking both of Ciel's hands in his own.

"Wherever you want, I suppose."

"The fact that in your condition, you chose to write this beautiful letter to me speaks volumes. I remember how difficult the birth was for you and to have had those complications and still take the time to tell me what we mean to you, to share this with me-my precious Ciel, I cannot tell you how much that means to me...even if it was written under the influence of strong pain medication." Sebastian teased.

"It was not...at least not entirely." Ciel countered. Sebastian chuckled. "Your mother said it's more to do with the changes.. In all fairness, I can see why you'd say that."

"Mama?"Evian called from the doorway, catching his parents' attention. The demonling entered slowly, Mama Bunny held close to his chest. "Are you and Dad having all by yourself time?"

"We were, what do you need?" Ciel reached out, inviting the child to climb onto the sofa between his parents.

"I had a silly dream and now I am hungry." Evian explained, leaning into his mother.

"A silly dream, you say," Sebastian pressed gently.

"Yes. Mama went to the store and came home with a new baby, but at night time, it was not a baby, it was a bird, it had big feet and claws and wings. It bit us and then we were all birds and then it took Mama Bunny and flew away and I could not find him!"

"Well," Sebastian began. "That is a silly dream. We shall have to forbid your mother from shopping. Ciel, I don't think it's a good idea to visit the baby store anytime soon. My parents simply would not approve of us transforming into birds with 'big feet'" Sebastian said. Ciel looked at him pointedly.

"Because you don't change into-"

"I, dearest do not have big feet, therefore, I couldn't possibly-"

"Keep telling yourself that."Ciel said. Evian giggled.

"Mama and Dad, you are so funny. You make me happy, Mama Bunny is happy too. Can we please eat, my tummy wants yummy things."Ciel stood from his seat.

"Come on Evian, let's get you something to eat, then it's back to bed." The former earl lifted the demonling into his arms, taking a step toward the door, only to find himself in his Mate's arms.

"This is how you carried my Mama when he was not like us." Evian stated.

"That's right, my son. I did so as a butler in those days, your dear mother had quite a talent for getting himself into trouble you see, so I kept him close so I could watch over him." Evian tilted his head slightly, looking up at the shadow figure.

"But that was not the only reason." He said. "You carried Mama because you wanted him to feel safe and because you love him lots. Mama let you because he was not afraid with liked it when you were there. Mama is big now, but he still likes to have up with you. Mama loves you,Dad."

"Does he?"Evian nodded, leaning back to rest his head on his mother's chest.

"Yes. Sometimes he is very sad at you, but he always loves you and his babies. Even if we are all birds with big feet."

"You won't need to worry about that. I've heard of no such bird that possesses such an ability. But you're correct in your statement. Your mother will always love you, no matter what. You children are very precious to us both."Soon, the trio found themselves in the kitchen, seated at the table. Ciel filled his son's feeding glass and offered it to the boy.

"Thank you, Mama. You are the very best Mama." Evian praised, taking a sip from the glass. Ciel simply smiled at the boy. He thought of the letter and how much his first born had grown. Slow down, Evian, you're growing too fast. He thought to himself. Sebastian wrapped an arm around him, resting his head Ciel's shoulder. They had always known Evian would change their lives, not only had the boy changed everything, but he had also offered his mother something Ciel never thought possible, true happiness.
