Phantommhive Estate: New Arrivals

My Fair Lady, Home Sweet Home Away From Home

Ella walked through the door and put her bags on the floor. Sebastian insisted that he carry them for her, but she didn't listen to him.

"Ella, dear, I don't think it's such a promising idea for you to be lifting things so soon," Sebastian insisted as he attempted to take Ella's bags.

"I don't care! I am perfectly able to do things for myself by myself!" Ella screamed. She dropped her bags and sunk to the floor.

"Ella, honey, are you okay?"

Ella's eyes filled with tears as she shook her head.

"No, I'm not. I don't know what to do," She sobbed.

"Wait, is this about Taro?"

Ella nodded. Sebastian chuckled.

"Why are you laughing?" Ella asked confusingly as she wiped her tears.

"It's just...why are you stressing? Taro is 1,000% fine,"

"I've...I've never been a Mother before." Sebastian kneeled next to her. He tucked her hair behind her hair.

"I've never been a Father before. But we're doing this together,"

"Really?" Ella asked sniffling. Sebastian laughed a little.

"Yes. I'm never going to leave you, I'm never going to hide from you, and I'm never going to lie to you. If I do, you can slap me in the face." Finally, Ella laughed.

"Goodness, Sebastian, why won't you ever let me be upset?"

"Because a frown doesn't look good over your pretty smile."

Later that day, while Ella was sewing a sweater for Taro, the phone rang.

"Hello?" Ella answered.

"Hi, yes, this is Dr. Roberts, is Ella around?"

"This is her,"

"Well,I just wanted to make sure you were free at three o'clock this afternoon,"

Ella turned to Sebastian, who was also sewing something for Taro, and he just shrugged.

"Yes, yes we are free. Is everything okay?"

"Of course. Taro has just been cleared. He will be ready for pickup at three. Is that alright?"

Ella could hardly believe it, or breathe, for that matter.

"Y-Yes! Yes, it is! We will be there. Thank you, Dr. Roberts!"

"Of course. Until then,"

"O-Okay. Goodbye." Ella hung up.

Sebastian gave her a very confused look.

"Taro's coming home!" Ella yelled.

"How wonderful! What time do we get him?" Sebastian replied equally excited.

"Three o'clock this afternoon!" Ella almost jumped up and down.

"Ella...We're parents," Sebastian said wearily.

"Yeah, and to a great little boy," Ella replied happy and excitedly. They hugged each other.

They felt like parents about to go pick up their newborn son at the hospital.

"Well, let's go!" Ella said departing from their hug and wiping her tears.

"Actually, go without me." Ella was confused.

"Why?"

"Well, I have something to prepare before Taro gets home." Ella understood. She grabbed her coat, purse, and hugged Sebastian goodbye.

"Would you like for me to call you a carriage?" Sebastian asked with concern.

"Sure. But only because Taro will be with me!"

"Of course."

A few minutes later, the carriage arrived. Ella couldn't help but feel excited to see her new son. Ella knew it would be an adjustment, but it was worth it. She also questioned if this was the right thing to do. What if someday he found out? At least he'll grow up with two parents, she thought. After five short minutes, she arrived at the hospital.

She got out with the help of the carriage man.

"I'll only be a minute," Ella assured him. He nodded. It wasn't long until Ella's fast walking turned into running.

"Hi, I'm here for Taro Rozu?" Ella asked the lady at the desk.

"You must be Ella. Please wait in the waiting room and he will be out in a minute. The nurses are giving him his bath," She explained.

"Okay. How long do you think that will take?"

"Five minutes more, Miss Rozu," The woman assured. Ella sat down and began to read the magazines that were on a small coffee table. Five minutes easily passed and Taro came walking out holding the nurse's hand. He looked around until he spotted Ella.

"Mommy!" Taro yelled as he ran into Ella's arms.

"Hi, Taro! Oh, I missed you so much!" Ella exclaimed as she picked up Taro. The nurse approached Ella.

"Ma'am, we need you to sign some release forms," She said.

"Of course," Ella replied putting Taro down. She quickly signed the forms and got into the carriage with Taro. Taro seemed anxious.

"What's wrong, sweetie?" She asked.

"This carriage... it feels scary," Taro replied moving closer to Ella. She knew that the Doctors explained to him what happened.

"Well, it's not going to happen again. Daddy made sure of it." With the mention of Sebastian, Taro's eyes lit up.

"Daddy! Where's Daddy?"

"Well, he said that he had a surprise at home waiting for you,"

"Ooh, yay! I love surprises!" Ella giggled. And she couldn't remember a time when she felt more complete and happy.

Ella and Taro arrived at the mansion. Ella was surprised to see that no lights were on. Out of nowhere, the lights came on. I grabbed Taro out of fear.

"Surprise!" Everyone screamed. Ella let go of Taro.

"Daddy!" Taro screamed as he ran towards Sebastian. Ella assumed that Sebastian told everybody since everyone seemed calm.

"What's my surprise?" He asked. Everyone laughed. Sebastian pulled out a cake. He cut Taro a piece and Taro sat down at the table to eat it. Everyone else stood near the dining room talking.

"Wait, Ella," Sebastian said stopping Ella. He held her left hand, kneeled and grabbed a little black box.

"Now, I already know you said yes, but I wanted to do this the right way,"

Ella's eyes began to water. Even though this had already happened, it still came as a shock.

"Ella Rozu, will you marry me?"

"Yes, a thousand times yes!" Ella exclaimed quietly. Sebastian slipped the ring onto her finger and she just stared at it. This was something that she had dreamed of since she was younger. She officially had everything. They walked holding each other to where the others where.

"So, we heard about the engagement! Congratulations, Ella!" Finny said excitedly.

"Oh, thank you," Ella said shyly.

"Of course! Congratulations Miss Ella, yes!" Mey-Rin said to Ella.

"This calls for a celebratory dinner!" Baldroy yelled as he stuck his spatula in the air.

"No!"
