A/N; hello everyone, I wanted to let you know that I'm sorry for the sudden name change, I have been Emerald princess3 three for quite a long time and just felt I needed a change. Second, this is was a request so I hope it comes out alright. Lastly, thank you all for reading and your continued support of the Michaelis family stories as well as all others.
Rachel Michaelis coughed harshly and snuggled into her mother.
"Mommy, I do not feel well." She cried, Ciel placed a hand on his daughter's head.
"You do feel warmer than usual, I think we'll keep you in bed today, we'll have the healer come by too." Rachel shook her head.
"No mommy, I do not want to be in bed, I want you." She reached out for him.
"And I'll be right here Rachel, I'm not going anywhere." He promised giving her a hug.
"Mommy, are you afraid I will make you ill?" Ciel smiled.
"No, you're my little princess, nothing would ever keep me away from you."
"Not even a bunch of monsters?" Rachel shivered at the thought.
"Even if they would try their hardest, there's nothing they could do." The little demon coughed again and groaned.
"It hurt mommy." She sobbed. Ciel lifted her into his arms.
"I know little one, It's no fun to be ill."
"Where is daddy, is he ill too?"
"No Rachel, daddy is checking on your brothers." Ciel explained rocking the little demon gently.
"Mommy, will you please hold me til I go to sleep?" She grabbed onto his shirt and looked up into his eyes.
"Yes Rachel, I'll hold you." The younger demon smiled and made herself comfortable on his lap.
"Ciel, could you come here please?" Sebastian called from Rowan's room.
"Coming." Ciel called back, he attempted to put Rachel back on her bed. Rachel held tightly to his shirt.
"I am not sleeping yet." She said miserably.
"Daddy needs me, I'll come right back."
"But mommy, I feel really bad." She sniffled, Ciel's heart melted.
"Alright, I guess we'll both go see what he wants." He said carrying her from the room.
Sebastian was sitting on the edge of Rowan's bed, the child was pale and like his sister coughing harshly.
"What's wrong?" Ciel asked as he entered.
"Hi daddy, hi brother Rowan." Rachel greeted with a wave of her clawed hand.
"Hello dear heart."
"Hello sister Rachel." Rowan sounded just as miserable as his sister.
"You have a little traveling companion I see Ciel." Sebastian said teasingly.
"I blame you." Ciel replied with a glare.
"For what exactly?"
"I promised to hold her until she fell asleep, you called and she clamped onto my shirt and refused to lie down."
"When have I ever done that?"
"You've done similar things."
"Maybe she gets it from lady Elizabeth, she-"
"Don't bring Lizzy into our- discussion." He said remembering there were children present.
"I like Lizzy." Rachel said, she sniffled and buried her face in her mother's jacket.
"I know you do. My poor baby girl." Ciel cuddled her.
"I wanted to show you something." Sebastian said unbuttoning the top two buttons of Rowan's night shirt. The child appeared to have some kind of rash on his chest.
"Evian and Vincent has it as well, have you checked Rachel?" Ciel shook his head.
"I'll do that when I take her back. "
"It's warm." Sebastian said.
"I'll go call the healer." Ciel said.
"Dearest, why don't you give me Rachel, I'll-"
"I want mommy." Rachel sobbed. Sebastian stood up and walked to his mate.
"This illness is something I have seen before, it affects very young demons, I can care for the children." He offered.
"Thank you for your concern Sebastian but as their mother, It's part of what I do. I'll be fine." Ciel said walking away.
"I hope you are correct my love. Truly I do."
