Woman Long Lost

Curry Chapter 10

Sebastian got up onto his elbow looking down at Lorna to see if she was still awake. As he did not find so he gently rolled out of bed. His head snapped in her direction as he felt a hand grab his wrist. "Is there a reason you are sneaking out of bed at this hour?" He gave her a closed eyed smile leaning down kissing the side of her head as she had not turned to him. "Your brother requests my presence. Do not worry. I shall be back." She huffed letting him go pulling her hand back to her chest as she curled up. He chuckled at her getting up to get dressed and leave the room.

Lorna stood in the kitchen baking for Ciel when Sebastian walked in. She looked at him confused. "What is it?" He sighed. "The young master has entered us in a curry expedition." She smiled softly down at her pastry. "I see. Please. Leave that to me." His eyes widened a bit. "But Lorna." She held her hand up before continuing to decorate the pastry. "You pretend like you are the one who will be entering. I shall take over on the day of. I assure you. I shall win for my brother." Sebastian smirked at her walking up behind her grabbing her hips and rubbing his hands around her butt and hips. "You sound so confident. Are you sure you can win against Agni?" She giggled softly bending back against him. "Of course. Though." He went to grab her but she slithered past him walking to the doorway. "I will keep my cooking techniques a secret." He chuckled watching her leave the kitchen.

Lorna placed the pastry on Ciel's desk as he was writing and he frowned. "I'm not in the mood for sweets Lorna." She scowled at him and slammed her hand down on his desk causing him to jump to the side dropping his pen. "What do I look like, your maid?! You don't call me as early as Sebastian to bake for you and then blow me off! You will eat this dam it or so help me!" He held his hands up in defence. "Alright. My apologies. It won't happen again." She nodded leaving the room grumbling under her breath. Sebastian moved out of her way as she passed him in the hall and walked to Ciel's office. He bit back a laugh watching Ciel angrily eat the cake his sister had made. "Young master. Lorna walked by in a fit of rage. Is there any particular reason why?" Ciel sent a glare at Sebastian with his fork in his mouth. "You're back on pastry duty. Go try to calm my sister. Work on that curry once you are done." Sebastian bowed to Ciel with a hand over his chest. "Yes young master." Sebastian left the room down to his room where he could hear shouting. He sighed placing his fingers of his right hand on his forehead. "She is quite some work." He opened the door and froze in the doorway seeing Lorna beating Soma with a pillow on the floor. Soma jumped to his feet happy to see Sebastian. "Sebastian! So good to see you! Tell your wife I was not trying to lay hands on her the other day!" Sebastian rose a brow at Lorna. She growled at Soma and hit him with the pillow once more in the back of the head causing him to face plant into the floor. Sebastian frowned as feathers littered the room from the torn pillow. "You bloody pig! Why are you in my room now?! Why did I find you hiding under my bed looking through my stuff?!" This struck Sebastian's curiosity. "I was merely looking for a necklace I lost I swear!" She growled in anger and raised the pillow to begin beating him again but Sebastian moved quickly grabbing her wrist as she had the pillow in the air. "I suggest you leave Prince Soma." He thanked Sebastian over and over again as he ran out the door slamming it behind him. Sebastian slowly let her wrist go stepping away. "You are in quite a mood today. May I ask why?" She frowned dropping the ripped pillow. "No. I don't know why. I just." She sighed looking at the pillow on the floor. "It started with Ciel. I know it was a silly thing to get angry over, but he denied eating the pastry I made him." Sebastian chuckled. "I can assure you he was eating it when I got in his office." She sighed dropping her head. "It just isn't right to force him to do anything. He may be a child but he is in charge now. He takes care of everything and what am I doing? I'm just here protecting him like his servants and baking him pastries like his maid. I'm his sister dam it. Not one of his servants." Sebastian frowned and grabbed her hand. "I can see where your troubles lay, but you must understand that he is still a child." She nodded squeezing his hand. "I know, but it's just. How can I protect my little brother if I am only good for serving him?" Sebastian pulled her into his arms resting his hand on the back of her head as she laid it on his chest. "You protect him just fine Lorna. You're much more than a maid. You fill in a role that the young master no longer has." She looked up at him clutching his coat. "What is that?" He looked down at her with a smile. "A mother." She sighed dropping her forehead on his chest. "Well I suppose that's something." He walked around the torn pillow sliding his hands down her arms to her hands and guided her to their bed.he sat down and pulled her on his lap. "Now what is it that you have hidden under the bed?" Her face went red and he smirked. "I see." She began to panic and pushed him back on the bed jumping off him. "It's nothing like that I swear!" He chuckled sitting up. "It's not is it? Then why are you hiding it?" Her face went red and he slid off the bed. She dropped to her knees next to him grabbing his arm as he bent over to grab the big box under the bed. "No Sebastian! Stop, don't!" He chuckled pulling the box from under the bed. He placed it on the bed and she did her best to jump on the bed but was held back by him. He opened the box and rose a brow. "This is what you were hiding? I must say. I never would have thought you to be into this. Though I must say. You would look very lovely in these." She moved back embarrassed with her head down. "I. I was going to show you eventually." He placed the lid on the box and got up walking to her. "You've no reason to be shy." He bent down to her height and brushed her hair off her shoulder gently. "After all. You are mine." He whispered against her throat before licking it." She closed her eyes in pleasure and grabbed his shoulders. He grabbed her arms pulling her to him as he lavished her neck. She leaned her head to the side for him and slid her hands down holding onto the back of his arms as he had grabbed hers. He sighed against her neck and kissed it before standing up. "I must return to my duties. Please leave the pillow. I shall clean it when I return." She nodded and looked at the window. "I think I shall make a trip to see Undertaker." He rose a brow at her. "Is there something wrong?" She frowned looking down at the floor. "No. I just have some questions. That I would rather he answer." Sebastian nodded. "Alright. I shall have your carriage ready for you when you are ready." She nodded watching him as he left.

Lorna exited her carriage and walked into the Undertaker's parlor and looked around. Undertaker emerged from a coffin on the floor and she sighed. "What a pleasant surprise. What brings you over deary?" She frowned looking at the floor. "Adrian. I wanted to talk to you about something. About the seal." He walked past her and locked the door to the shop. "Ask away my dear." She nodded. "Sebastian mentioned something a while back about your seal still being active." He grinned at her. "He did did he?" She nodded looking at him. He chuckled and picked his head up so his green eyes were showing. "Well. I won't lie to you. The seal is still there, but now it's more of a defense mechanism. Years ago when I took you away from that demon you said you didn't want to hurt anyone did you not?" She nodded holding her hands together in front of her against her thighs. He returned the nod leaning back against his desk crossing his arms over his chest. "When I put the seal on you the first time it was a two way seal. Every Time after that when you partially broke the seal I was merely mending the second part of the seal." She frowned at the floor nodding. "I see. Why did you not tell me this before?" He stood up dropping his hands to his sides. "Because I didn't think it necessary. As long as you were safe and happy that was all that mattered." A few tears slipped past her cheeks and she ran to him pulling him into an embrace. He wrapped his arms around her patting her back. "Do you want to know something else? It may upset you more though." She moved back and wiped away her tears. "What is it?" He frowned at her. "I'm sorry to be the one to break this news to you, but you are with child my dear." Her eyes widened and she froze. It was like hell had frozen over to her. "I. I'm what?" He looked at her sadly. "It seems like you are only a week along though my dear." She grabbed his sleeves in a tight grip. "Tell me you're lying! Please tell me this is one if your silly jokes!" His frown deepened and he gently grabbed her arms pulling her off him. "No deary, I'm sorry. I wish I were." She slid down onto her knees grabbing her hair fighting back tears. "I can't. I can't be." He sighed placing his hand on her head. "One of you must have weakened the seal long enough." She took a shaky breaths and tried to calm down. Undertaker knelt down in front of her and rubbed her arm. She lunged into his arms and he held her tightly trying to comfort her. She refused to cry. At least. In front of him anyway. She got up and smiled sadly at him. "Thank you Adrian. I shall stop by again at another time." He nodded from on the floor not moving as he watched her leave. He felt bad for her, but he felt as a grim reaper it was best to tell her before she found out in any other way.

Lorna walked quietly to her room as it was now late. As soon as she was in her room Sebastian shut the door and locked it. "You're back a little later than usual." She gave him a soft smile. "The trip was linger than I thought it would be." He pushed her against the door locking lips with her. She hummed into the kiss and placed her hands on his shoulders. He grabbed her hips pulling her to him. She broke the kiss and sighed. She placed a hand on his chest moving away. "Not tonight Sebastian." He frowned lightly at her as he watched her walk to their bed. "Is something bothering you?" Her head lowered just as she had grabbed the back of her dress. "Please. I would just like to get to bed." His frown deepened but he nodded and followed suit. He waited till they were laying in bed before he said anything else. "What is the matter Lorna?" She sighed and looked away distressed. "Sebastian. You won't hate me right?" He frowned at her and wrapped his arms around her waist. "Of course not." She looked up at him in the eyes. "Even if I were with child?" His eyes widened and she quickly tried to roll away from him. His hold tightened on her and he smiled softly down at her. "This is what has you so upset?" She nodded as tears began rolling down her cheeks. "Sebastian. I can't have a child. Not now. Not when I need to protect Ciel." He hummed in thought. "Yes that is quite the bind isn't It? Don't worry. Leave that to me from here on. You worry about our child." She broke down crying on his chest and he just chuckled rubbing her back. He kind of guessed it was the blood wine that weakened the seal for this to happen. So he wasn't entirely surprised. He was more happy than anything else. Sebastian just hoped that he could protect both Ciel and Lorna from the dangers that were to become of them.

In the following day Lorna had done just as she would. She swapped places with Sebastian. To say her brother was displeased was an understatement. He was almost furious. Lorna was happy to have won the competition though. Through everything they had gone through. Lorna was worried about every thing that was yet to come.
