HB Chapter 19: Wondering Bliss

Final Chapter

Elizabeth's eyes slowly fluttered open to the dim light that barely slipping through the drawn lace curtains; covering the large window in the stately honeymoon suite. The suite was dim with little sun light shining through the drawn marine curtains. Elizabeth's mind was still groggy from the eventful night before and she felt lightheaded from the wine. But as she came to, a sweet scent rose to her nose and she buried her face further in the sheets. The pillow that she lay on smelled of lilacs and rosemary; pink petals from the previous night still dwindled on the cushion and sheets. Several red and white cushions laid, in no specific fashion on the carpeted floor. She sat up, surprised to find that her bed had a second inhabitant that had wrapped its arms around her naked waist. Elizabeth almost squealed from shock, but memories of what sweetly ensued the night before caused blood to rush to her face. The touch…the sweet gentle caress of her small form…Ciel's body hotly meshed against hers…

Last night…Ciel…and I…we…consummated our marriage…I-I…we…

Elizabeth fell back on the pillows, breathing quickly as remembrances of last night's beautiful, yet heated wedding night bliss. How scared she had been! How scared stiff and cheeky she felt, allowing Ciel to guide her into the marriage chamber and continue to kiss her softly. Elizabeth nearly screamed at the moment, covering her mouth with her hands!

Oh the thoughts! Oh the wonder and bliss of becoming one flesh with the man she loved! Elizabeth squealed like a naïve school girl and wiggled under the sheets. She yelped as Ciel's hand slipped down farther beyond her waist. At her squeal, Ciel mumbled slightly and wrapped both arms around her waist and pulled her within under the rose scented sheets.

"Lizzy…dear…please do not be so loud in the morning…darling…" Elizabeth blushed at Ciel's incoherent babbling, but laughed softly at how childish he was. She gently pressed her lips against his and smiled. The feeling of being completely naked as the day she was born was almost foreign to her, added that Ciel was also bared. She flushed red again, as he rubbed her bare bottom and whispered scandalous words in her ear.

"I've touched every inch of you, yet you still blush like a virgin on her wedding night."

"Ciel!"

"Haha…ah…" Ciel ran his fingers through her blonde locks, admiring her beauty. Elizabeth was before him, vulnerable, nude, and in all her glory.

"You're beautiful Lizzy." Ciel said in a tender voice. He slide his hand down her back, the silky smoothness of her skin astounded him. He had been with women, but none of them came close to the innocence of his new wife. Perhaps, it was the fact that she gave herself to him in all love and faith. Not to gain riches or fame…Giving herself completely to him in all trust...

He swept her up in a passionate kiss and rolled on his back, making the sheets fall down around her hips. Elizabeth yelped at the sudden change of position. Instinctively, she covered her breasts and frowned at her presumptuous husband.

"Ciel! D-don't do-"Suddenly, a knock interrupted their frolic. Ciel snarled in displeasure, and was tempted to continue ravishing his new wife, but thought better of it as Elizabeth's stomach growled. He looked at her in a most amused way and smiled. Elizabeth wrapped her arms around her tummy and giggled. He sat up quickly and kissed her, then gently pushed her down on the sheets.

"I would love you passionately right now," Ciel whispered in her ear," but you must eat." He kissed her lips. The knocking continued for several seconds, followed by, "Young Master, Lady Phantomhive, are you descent?" Ciel glanced at Elizabeth, who pulled the covers up to her chin, trying hard not to snigger loudly.

"Come in, Sebastian!" Ciel called. The butler opened the large doubles doors leading into the bedroom. The scent of delectable food floated through the air, rising to Elizabeth's nostrils. She breathed in deeply and allowed the smell to fill her lungs. Ciel lay back on the pillows, watching Sebastian set the tray on the table near the hearth.

"Young Master, Lady Phantomhive for you this morning I have Oolong tea with milk, and lightly buttered toast, a fruit salad for Lady Phantomhive. There is honey ham with white rice as well." Elizabeth smiled as Sebastian lay out the food and poured the sweet smelling tea into the new Royal Winchester tea cups her grandmother had bought them. Ciel rose from the bed as Sebastian walked to the closet. He looked through for several seconds, then selected a black robe and slippers. He laid them on the bed and then resumed to the closet. This time, he laid a soft pink robe on the bed and white satin slippers. Ciel yawned and rose from the bed. Elizabeth blushed as he rose from the mattress as naked as the day he was born. Sebastian rolled his eyes at his young master's brashness but held the robe open for Ciel and wrapped it around him. Elizabeth watched Sebastian's quite service to her husband. In a sense, she found it strange...she had never watched Ciel get dressed before.

Well...there was that one time when we were young. Ms. Nina had made new clothes for him after the mansion had been...well destroyed by the servants. Ah...now that I think about it...there was something...Ciel didn't want me to...

Elizabeth quickly glanced at Ciel's back, but the robe was already covering him.

Ciel...

"Lady Phantomhive, your robe and slippers-" Elizabeth yelped and snatched the robe from Sebastian's hand. Ciel's face bestowed confusion at her sudden outburst.

"Ah! No! I-I can get dressed by myself!"

"Of course, Lady Phantomhive." Sebastian bowed. Elizabeth was now red in the face and extremely embarrassed at her silly notion. Ciel shook his head and motioned for her to join him at the table. Elizabeth hurriedly put on the robe and tied it, and placed the slippers on her feet. Her blonde curls fell in droves around her smooth face, and she was sure that she looked like a tussled poodle. She shuffled to the table and went to sit across from Ciel, until he grabbed her hand and pulled her towards him.

"Don't sit so far away." Ciel said, placing his hand on her bottom and pushing her to sit on his lap.

"Now my dear, let us get some food in you."

–

The honeymoon was long but sweet and certainly more than Elizabeth had ever hoped for. She and Ciel had stayed at the Olive's Inn, touring the country side of London and enjoying the absence of the city life. The Olive Inn itself was beautiful and was a larger than the Phantomhive manor. A huge courtyard that held many gardens and a small waterfall was in the front. They had rode horses through sunny hills, piniced in the woods and even bathed in a waterfall...everything seemed like a dream...a dream that she never wanted to end.

–

The snow fell in droves around the vast mansion, covering the grounds with a blanket of white fluff. The flowers had receded and the once green grass was now white. Outside the window, everything was a winter wonderland. It was this season that Elizabeth realized...her husband seemed to enjoy the most. He traveled much less, but it also seemed that he locked himself away in his office more than usual. Elizabeth sat in the rocking chair, creaking back and forth. Her mind was busy now, watching her hands as they moved gently with the yarn. Elizabeth thought that such a personal gift that she made from her own hands would have more significance that something simply bought from a vendor...

I want to give Ciel something very nice for Christmas...ah...there's no telling how long this will take me! But...Ciel...will get an even greater present than this blanket.

A knock sounded on the door, that caused Elizabeth to forget her thoughts and turn to it.

"Lady Phantomhive, I've brought tea."

"Oh, thank you, Sebastian. Come in please." Elizabeth listened as the door creaked open and Sebastian wheeled in a tray. The sweetness of the hot tea rose to her nostrils and she set down her knitting. Sebastian placed the tray on the coffee table and poured the tea.

"How is Lady Phantomhive doing this evening?" Elizabeth frowned and her brows furrowed.

"I am still trying to remember Middleford is no longer my name..." Sebastian smiled.

"The Young Master will be in shortly. He had several telephone calls that he had to take." Elizabeth nodded and brought the tea cup to her nose. She closed her eyes and enjoyed the smell of sweet peppermint and honey.

"You make better tea than I do, Sebastian." The butler smiled and bowed, pleased that Elizabeth had praised him. His eyes fell to several objects on the coffee table...a tiny little crocheted hat and little crocheted shoes.

"You plan on revealing this to the Young Master?" Elizabeth nodded, blushing. Sebastian grinned. He had known since well...since three months ago.

"Is there anything else you need, My Lady?" Elizabeth cocked her head to one side, trying to think of anything that she needed at the moment. She shook her head and dismissed him. Watching Sebastian walk out of the drawing room made her feel strangely uninterested. She longed to see her husband and have him tell her of his work. Certainly that would be more exciting than doing nothing but sitting and looking pretty. Of course, she had planned a many social gatherings and charities as was expected as the wife of a prestigious nobleman.

All I want is to spend time with Ciel...

"Elizabeth?" Her ears perked up at the sound of the tenor voice she loved. Placing on her best smile she looked at the door to see her Ciel leaned against the doorway.

"Ciel!"

"Good evening Lizzy. I finished work early today." Elizabeth smiled and looked at the clock. It read half past ten. She shook her head.

"It is still pretty late you know..."

"Yes, dear. I know."

Ciel walked to couch and sat next her. His body was clearly weary, and Elizabeth felt a pang of concern. He appeared much more tired than usual and his face was drawn. She opened her lips to say something, but decided against it. Instead, she lay her head on his shoulder and listened his heart beat. The rise and fall of his chest was almost enough to put her asleep like a infant. Ciel patted her head, whispering how beautiful she was. The drawing room was quite and the fire continued to crackle on strongly.

"Ciel...I've something to tell you."

"Yes dear?"

"I-I have a present for you..."

"Yes?"
Elizabeth shook. She could not figure out why she was so shaken up. Perhaps the anticipation...of telling Ciel...

"Elizabeth are you alright?" Ciel's concerned voice asked of her. She nodded, assuring him that she was fine. But the feeling in her stomach would not go away...such excitement...She held on to both his hands, squeezing them tightly.

"My Lord and husband...I've the greatest gift to give you." Ciel's eyes were wrought with confusion, but his face showed an enduring eagerness. He ran through several things in his mind, trying to guess what Elizabeth could be speaking of. Elizabeth smiled sweetly then and placed on of his hands on her stomach.

"My dear Ciel...you are to be a father soon." At that moment the world seemed to stop. A heavy lump felt like it had been placed in Ciel's chest and then suddenly busted. A father...he was going to be a father. Ciel stood abruptly and swooped Elizabeth into his arms.

"E-Elizabeth! Elizabeth! I'm going to be a father?"

Sebastian stood outside the door, listening to the sincere studdering of his speechless Young Master. The black clad butler grinned and closed the door quietly.

He sighed and pulled the gloves tighter on his pale hands.

"I best get to work."
