Ch. 5 Hey, how old are you?

Elaine finished helping Sebastian and Mey-Rin unpack all of her belongings to their proper places. Her stomach begins to growl, which Sebastian heard.

" Hungry, My Little Lady?" Sebastian asked while turning his gaze to Elaine.

Elaine blushes, looking embarrassed. " Yes." She softly responded, causing Sebastian to chuckle.

" I shall let Baldroy know you are hungry!" Mey-Rin shouted, and she excused herself. She turns around and runs out of the bedroom, leaving Elaine alone with Sebastian.

" How long have you been working with my big brother?" Elaine asked, striking a conversation with Sebastian since she wanted to get to know Ciel's butler.

" For two years," Sebastian responded.

Elaine looked at Sebastian with wide sapphire-blue eyes. " For two years! But Ciel and Edie-they were gone during that time." She murmured.

" That is correct. However, two years ago. I saved Ciel after Edie sadly perished to horrible people." Sebastian softly speaks, overhearing Ciel's backstory to Angelina at Dalles-Burnett Manor.

Elaine looked at Sebastian with mixed emotions. ' That means he saved Edie while Ciel died.' She frowned, sad to hear that one of her brothers had died that awful night.

" Why didn't you two come get me after you saved Ciel?" Elaine asked. She continued to frown, wondering why Ciel and Sebastian didn't come to get her two years ago.

" Young Master wanted to ensure that the Phantomhive Manor get renovated. He also needed to find people to work for him that would be loyal to him and you. Not only that, he needed to meet with the Queen of England to claim the Former Phantomhive Earl's titles." Sebastian explained.

" Ah. Ciel worked alot." Elaine softly speaks, nodding in understanding.

" Your brother is delighted to have you back at the Phantomhive Manor." Sebastian softly smiled.

Elaine warmly smiled. " And I am happy to be back home!" She jumps up and down in joy.

Sebastian stands and holds his gloved hand out to Elaine. " Shall we get going?" He asked.

" Yes!" Elaine grabbed Sebastian's gloved hand, and the two walked out of the bedroom. " I would like to eat a ham and cheese sandwich with a side of chips, please?" She lifts her head to stare at the taller male.

" I shall let Baldroy know," Sebastian responded. The two reached the stairs, and he carefully helped her walk down the stairs.

" Ooo! I want to drink Hisbiscus Tea." Elaine swung her and Sebastian's hands.

" I can make it for you." Sebastian nodded.

" Yay!" Elaine cheered.

Sebastian escorts Elaine to the kitchen since she wants to see how the kitchen looks. However, he grabs the young female and steps to the side when he sees flames and smoke coming out of the kitchen.

" Baldroy. What are you doing in there?" Sebastian asked, looking annoyed.

Baldroy runs out of the kitchen and coughs. Elaine giggled when she saw that the Chef's hair had gotten poofy.

" I was making meatloaf," Baldroy responded in a British accent.

" Meatloaf?" Elaine adorably tilts her head.

" It's an American dish," Baldroy commented. " Ah! You aren't hurt, are you?" He asked in an American accent.

Elaine looks at Baldroy with a curious gaze since his voice sounded different from when he spoke to Sebastian.

" He's an American, Elaine," Sebastian answered Elaine's silent question.

" American?" Elaine's sapphire-blue eyes blinked. " Ah! You lived across the pond?" She asked, remembering seeing a map of America in Angelina's office.

" That's right." Baldroy grinned, responding in a British accent. " I tend to mix my British and American speech." He amusingly chuckled.

" I like it!" Elaine brightly smiled.

" Thanks, kiddo!" Baldroy affectionately ruffled Elaine's strawberry-blonde hair.

" Baldroy. Keep Young Lady Phantomhive entertained. I shall clean the kitchen." Sebastian gently puts Elaine down now that he knows she is safe.

" Alright!" Baldroy nodded. He watched Sebastian enter the smoke-covered kitchen. He turns his gaze to Elaine, and his turquoise-colored eyes soften when he sees her looking at the kitchen in worry.

" Sebastian is going to be alright, Lady Phantomhive," Baldroy reassured, causing Elaine to look at him.

" Hey, how old are you?" Baldroy asked, looking curious.

" I'm ten! I will be eleven on March 1 of next year!" Elaine brightly smiled.

Baldroy's turquoise-colored eyes dimmed. " Dad! I will be eight on March 6!" His son, Baldroy Junior, smiled at his father.

' I see. Lady Phantomhive was born in the same year as my boy. He would have been eleven next year too.' Baldroy internally speaks.

" You sure have grown," Baldroy whispered, unknowingly thinking about his son.

" I will soon catch up to my big brother!" Elaine beamed.

Baldroy amusingly chuckled.

' So the kid meant Elaine when he told me he also has someone he wants to protect. And that when I meet her, I would also want to protect her.' Baldroy internally speaks. ' Who would have thought that Ciel somehow knew I was a father and that I would protect Elaine with my life due to the close age she is to my son.' He sadly stared at Elaine, feeling guilty for what happened to his son back in America.

Elaine's sapphire-blue eyes blinked when she saw Baldroy looking sad. She stepped toward him and hugged him, which surprised the Chef.

" What's the hug for?" Baldroy asked in an American accent.

Elaine lifts her head to stare at Baldroy. The Chef froze when he saw her looking at him with the same innocent and loving eyes that his son would always give him.

" You're sad. Don't be sad. Be happy!" Elaine speaks, causing Baldroy to gulp since his son would always say the same thing to him whenever he was sad.

Baldroy kneels, and he hugs Elaine tightly. He hid his face against her strawberry-blonde hair.

" I'm sorry. I am so sorry." Baldroy apologized, which confused Elaine. However, she comforts the Chef instead. He closed his turquoise-colored eyes, thinking about his son.

" It's okay," Elaine comforts Baldroy. " Can I eat the meatloaf you made? It sounds interesting." She asked.

Baldroy lets go of Elaine, getting embarrassed that he cried in front of his Young Master's younger sister.

" Yeah. I can make more meatloaf. Do you like potatoes? I can make some mashed potatoes on the side." Baldroy asked.

" I love mash potatoes!" Elaine smiled brightly, reminding Baldroy of his son, who loved mash potatoes.

" Good to know." Baldroy nodded. " Your brother also told me you can't eat blueberries. So, no blueberries for everyone." He ruffled Elaine's strawberry-blonde hair.

Elaine giggled. She warmly smiled, feeling glad that Baldroy was feeling better.
