What Have I Become?

Chapter 23: The Funeral.

(Eva/your POV)

"Are you almost ready love?" Sebastian said, poking his head through my bathroom door.

"Yes dear, give me five minutes." I said while applying a small amount of ruby red lipstick.

"Alright, I shall be downstairs when you are finished." He blew me a kiss, which I happily accepted, and closed the door.

I looked into the mirror and sat my headband in the center of my head. When I was finished I returned to my room and slid on my shoes.

I walked by the full length mirror and caught a glimpse of my, now larger, swollen abdomen. It's only been over a few days past a week. How much bigger am I going to get?

I shook the thought from my head and made my way down the stairs. When I reached the bottom everyone was already there, waiting on me.

Sebastian walked over towards me and snaked his arm into mine. I glanced between Sebastian and Ciel, they both had their hair styled in a slicked back way. They both looked very handsome.

"You look stunning my dear." I blushed, but quickly lowered my head and frowned remembering the occasion. "Thank you, love."

He seemed to notice my sudden change of emotion. He pulled my chin up with his index finger.

"I know today will be quite hard, but I imagine you will get through this love. You are a truly strong woman."

I wrapped my arms around his neck and pecked his lips. "Thank you Sebastian. I will try and remember that."

He wrapped his arms around my waist and placed a soft kiss on my forehead. "I will be right beside you, the whole time."

I nodded and placed a small, passionate kiss on his cold lips.

"Ehem." Ciel cleared his throat in annoyance. "Are you two done?"

We both nodded. Sebastian bowed. "Sorry sir, are we ready to take our leave?"

Ciel nodded. "Yes, I believe so."

We got in the carriage and headed for the church. Much like the ride yesterday, it was filled with depressing sadness. When we arrived at the church, we took our seats in the front.

There were many people already there, some I have never seen before in my life, paying their respects.

Sebastian was seated beside me and Ciel on the other, with Elizabeth beside him. The church bells rang, signifying that it was time to begin.

The preacher walked up to the podium. "Ladies and gentlemen. We are gathered here today to pay our respects to an extraordinary person. Spencer Glover was a noble and kind man. He helped anyone in need. He spent his days caring for his late wife Edith Glover and his daughter Eva. He served for her majesty protecting the citizens against evil. Now he spends his time in gods kingdom in heaven. Now, his daughter has prepared a speech. Mrs. Glover, if you will."

I wiped the tears from my face and stood up. Sebastian placed a hand on my shoulder. "Be strong love."

I nodded and walked to the podium and cleared my throat.
"Thank you all for being here today. My father was a charming, caring man. He cared for mother and I so passionately. He always took care of us and gave us everything we ever needed or wanted. He was a very giving man. He gave all of the time and never expected anything in return. In his time of work for her majesty he put his life on the line for complete strangers. He cared for his career greatly and loved every day of it. I commend him on being an extraordinary man, father, and husband."
