Chapter 21 (A spider dancing in the rain)

Reader's P.O.V.

Claude and I have been doing "it" a lot lately and I'm pretty sure everyone else in the manor knows about our relationship now. Even when I was just going about the day doing the usual, Claude would come onto me. Not that I was complaining, it's just that I could possibly end up pregnant from our endeavors if were not careful. Being a mother is something I wouldn't mind but I wasn't sure if we were ready for a baby right now. We had already had intercourse before marrying so I at least wanted to do something right and think about a child after we marry.

Claude didn't seem to see it that way. He thought a child would be the best thing in our lives since he would be awaiting the arrival of his very first child. That very child would also be the embodiment of our love for each other since we would have created a new life together.

 Deep inside, I knew Claude had always wanted to be a father but the opportunity of finding the right partner just never came as an opportunity to him until now and he was determined to plant his seed that would create part of him inside of me. This was how we were in the predicament we were in. I was currently straddling Claude as he had me pinned on top of the kitchen counter as my face flushed different shades of red.

(Y/N):C-Clau( You were interrupted when Claude hastily pressed his lips on yours)

I could feel his tongue moving about in my mouth as his skilled hands rubbed up and down my body. I could feel my self succumbing to his attempts to seduce me but I had more will than he thought. I put all I could into breaking away from the kiss to get the words I had off of my mind and out my mouth.

(Y/N): Claude, you've been so aggressive lately.

Claude: How could I not be, when I have such a gorgeous woman in front of me.

Claude was still trying to get me to lower my guard as he tried to slyly put his lips back onto mine but I turn my head away.

(Y/N): You know if we keep going at it like this so frequently, I could end up getting pregnant. It would be too early for a baby...

At this moment, I had my hand resting on my empty belly.

Claude: But I wouldn't mind that at all. I know you'd make a great mother and you should know that demons are known to have many many children over an eternity.

(Y/N): You have no say in this, we already broke one rule before marriage so the least we could do is follow through on one. When were married you can come onto me as much as you like and we can have as many kids as we like.

Claude respected your decision, after all it was your body and the last thing he'd do was force you to do something you didn't want to.

Claude: As you wish dear butterfly.

Claude had bent down and put his head on my flat belly and began to stroke it as if he was waiting for the moment he would sense a second heart beating from inside.

Time skip....

Reader's P.O.V.

One evening I had came home to a pitch dark Manor. Claude had convinced me to take a walk and I'd come back with the no one in sight. Not a single light was on. I found it strange and rather suspicious and was thinking about not going inside but I had a strange feeling telling me to press on. Feelings like these are often ignored but I listened to myself like a dumb woman in one of those movie pictures. As I crept along the manor I had called out to see if anyone was inside. Maybe the lights were out, it often happened.

(Y/N): Hello?

No answer. I checked all the rooms and they each appeared clean and untouched as if one had ever been in them.  I made my way down the hall and decided to check the ball room. It was a good thing I did because a faint light was coming from it. A crack was left in the door and light seeped out and grew brighter as I pushed the door open. I was blinded by the bright light until my eyes adjusted moments later. I was so surprised by what I saw. Claude had his back turned to me and upon noticing my presence he smiled. It wasn't just any smile but the kind you give when your truly happy.

(Y/N): Claude, what's going on?

That's when instruments started to play, more lights came on in the ball room revealing the Triplets playing an emotional piece of music. I turned back to Claude who was down on his knees. That's when I caught on, I was waiting for the moment to come and I was so happy that I thought it was all just a dream. Yet I refused for it to be one because I knew my time had come to finally enjoy the reality of when I'd get proposed to. Claude had delicately took my hand in his and looked into my face lovingly. Using his free hand he took a black box from his pocket and opening it too reveal the biggest more expensive ring I could only dream of.

Claude: (Y/N), there's no hiding how I feel about you. You are my one and only. Without you I am nothing but an empty shell of a man. I want you to be with me forever until the end of time itself. I love you and I would like to know if you'd do me the honors of becoming Mrs. (Y/N) Faustus.

As I listened to Claude speak, the water works just came pouring down. My eye's were sparkling from the tears and I was so overwhelmed with joy I couldn't even agree. I just nodded and threw myself on Claude. He picked me up and spun me around as we shared a kiss of great passion.

The other part of the ball room lit up to reveal Hannah and Alois who had been watching the entire event unfold.

Alois: Look at my butler, all grown up.

The last time I checked Alois never knew  about us getting married and I was planning on telling him but never got around to do it. From the looks of it, it seems Claude had already taken care of it. Alois seemed happy for us.We'd get to be a family, and I'd be a wife. Even saying the word husband made me feel jittery.

Alois: I can see it now mother, you'd make the most elegant bride and I'll be in charge of the wedding. Oh, it will be the best wedding ever. I'll order in the biggest cake, make smashing decorations and the place is big enough for you to have it here!!!

Maybe Alois seemed a little more excited than what was healthy. I had tried to tell him I didn't need a large wedding and that a small one would do just fine but Alois wasn't hearing it. As his to be step mother, he intended to use his wealth to throw me a wedding no one will ever forget and he'd get to rub it in Ciel's face. Though Alois didn't want to spoil the moment between the new couple. He had quickly clapped his hands together and ordered the other servants to play some music. Claude and I knew exactly what to do. He turned to me and spoke.

Claude: May I have this dance?

I didn't waste a second to grab his hand and he pulled me into his chest as we spun around the dance floor. I rested my head on his shoulder and even though I still couldn't dance, this only made our dance more special. It reminded me of how we first met and how we danced by the cliff in the rain.........
