Soma watched the children gather around Ciel later that night, Ciel had given each child a hug and prepared them for bed.

"I'm not sleepy mum." Rowan yawned, rubbing his eyes.

"is that right?" Ciel asked picking up the small child who laid his head on his mother's shoulder.

"yes." He whispered as he fell asleep. Vincent giggled.

"Brother Rowan is funny."

"Vincent, will you get Lovey please?" The child nodded and picked up the bear.

"Mommy, did we do good things today?" Rachel grabbed onto his jacket.

"Very good things." Ciel replied.

"I am a proud of us Rachel."

"Good, I'm proud of you all, I love you all so much."

"We love you too is Daddy coming too?"

"I shall be there shortly."Sebastian said carrying in the last of the vases.

"I have to admit, your children surprised me. Never before have I been shamed by a child or heard ones so young defending their mother so strongly." Soma said In awe.

"He's an amazing Mother, He puts them before see it, in his words, he is a mother before anything else,even I come second to our children. I have known demons to despise their mates for the very same situation, you see, a pure demon cannot always change, even for their family."

"But you don't hate him."

"Far from it, my children are precious to me, Ciel's devotion to them is something that I truly am thankful for, and I should be."

"If you are a 'pure demon' how can that be?"

"I asked him for Rachel and Vincent, that should tell you what you want to know." Soma smiled.

"You like being a father and having a family."

"Yes, as long as my Ciel is their mother, My family is my reason for living."

"From what I can tell, you are a good father Sebastian, the children are lucky to have you."

"I don't share your views on that I'm afraid. You see, I consider myself the fortune one. If not for Ciel's love, I would have died years ago. It's only because he shared my feelings that he came to me that day, I was gravely ill, he nearly died for our children more than once and has no regret in doing so. There is nothing I wouldn't do for them."

"I wish my family had been like yours,you all have such a deep love for each other. Even your son who is insecure in his place knows,"

"Yes, Rowan has has a few insecure feelings, but given the circumstance, I think he's doing rather well, Ciel and I continue to work with him."

"What kind of circumstance could make a child feel like that in such a loving family?"

Sebastian lowered his voice.

"Our dear Rowan is not biologically ours. He is in fact my brother's son. His mother left him as an infant and my older brother is not a fit parent, I brought him to visit one Christmas and Ciel decided that he should be with family, as I hoped he would, we legally adopted him shortly after. He knows that he was adopted but it pains him to think of it, He asked us to pretend it didn't happen and just be the way it was before he found out, that is what we did." Soma looked at the demon in shock.

"Had you not told me, I never would have guessed that he was anything less than your own."

"He is our own." Ciel said appearing suddenly.

"in my heart Rowan is my child and it doesn't matter how he came to us, he's my son."

"This is part of the devotion we spoke of earlier." Sebastian added.

"The children want to say goodnight." Ciel said to his mate.

"Of course, please excuse me." He kissed Ciel on his way up the stairs.

"You-"

"I need to say something, I realize that I've been ill-tempered with you since you made those comments in London. You did apologize and I think you see now that you were very wrong, having said that, you have the ability to annoy me to the point of no return. You're a spoiled palace brat and frankly I can't stand it when you come into my house unannounced." Soma hung his head.

"I'm sorry Ciel, I thought we were friends. We will not -"

"Let me finish, you are one of the most irritating people I know but you genuinely care. Maybe I could deal with your visits if you gave me some notice, at the very least a day. As long as you're good to my children, once in a while, you can come and see us "

Soma smiled.

"Thank you Ciel, this means a lot to us."

"yes well, just don't over do it alright?"

"Fair enough my friend. Happy Mother's Day"

"Thank you."

"Tomorrow would be a good day to show us around don't you think, it could be a -"

"You're pushing it."

"I am sorry." Soma said, he was still hopeful that Ciel would offer in the morning.
