Title: My Life
Chapter Title: Yuuri's arrival and a message from Ulrike
Pairings: YuuRam, ConGret, and maybe others too.
Rating: T
Genre: Angst, Humor, and Romance. I know the first two are opposites but there's a good reason behind it. Hey! It's a bittersweet fic!
A/N: I borrowed some of Sayoko Bizen's plot so you might find something that's similar to hers. But I swear most part is my own. In this story, Wolfram and Yuuri would have a child, not a quadruplet.
Note: Like in New World, it takes about three years before a mazoku is born.
Timeline: This happens 4 and a half years after the series. (New World: A Continuation started three years after the series so now it's four and a half since Yuuri Already found his child'd soul). Here, Yuuri is about 20 and a half years old and Greta is about 14 and a half.
Summary: Kinda midfic for New World by Sayoko Bizen Set after Yuuri found his child's soul. He founds out that he only have six months to live. What would he do? YuuRam

Story starts:
At last, after one and a half years of searching for his child's soul, Yuuri finally together with a handful of men entered the gates of the Blood Pledge Castle with his trademark goofy grin on his face.
Flashback:
One and a half years ago...
"Heika, it is no secret that we allow marriages between men here in this world." Gwendal said facing the window.
Yuuri stared back at Gwendal in confusion. Of course he knew that! He wouldn't be married to Wolfram if he doesn't.
"Have you also noticed that there aren't many couples around such as yours?" Gwendal said in a no nonsense voice.
Huh? Yuuri thought. Where was this discussion going?
" Uh,yes." Yuuri said concern evident in his voice."So, what's the point of this discussion?" he added tentatively.
Gwendal turned to face him.
"Your majesty, do you want your child?" The gray-haired man looked straight at him in the eye.
Anger blazed from deep inside Yuuri. Gwendal wasn't planning to put his – no less a royal child and his younger brother's child - child for adoption, wasn't he?
"Of course I do! Why wouldn't I want to have a child with Wolfram?" Yuuri exploded, his face flushed with rage.
Gwendal cleared his throat. "It's good that you want your baby, Your Majesty, because I'd like you to remember that all the time during the journey you will be on to find it a soul."
"I want you to know that the quest for the soul is very treacherous. Many have died leaving their pregnant husbands as widowers. Worst, their child were born without souls, they knew neither joy nor sorrow, more precisely, any other emotions. They became mere mazoku shells and haven't got the chance to live up to puberty because the life force in them drains quickly after birth." Those were Gwendal's last words for the night.
End of Flashback
Two days prior to their arrival, Yuuri sent a message that they'd be home in a couple of days.
At the magnificent double-door entrance of the palace stood waiting for him: the ever frowning Gwendal; the forever Heika-doting Gunther; the calm and always smiling Conrad; the sexy ex-Maou, Lady Celi; the crafty Great Sage, Murata; his dear adopted daughter, Greta; and of course his spoiled but nonetheless loved and cherished beautiful spouse, Wolfram.
"Yoour Maajestyy!" An ecstatic Gunther squealed while running towards the dismounting Maou.
The moment Yuuri's feet hit the ground, the mauve-haired man quickly pulled him into a death hug.
"G-gunther. L-let go of me. I-I c-can't b-br-breathe." Yuuri said while desperately gasping for air.
"Let go of my husband this instant! 'Let go', I said!" The fair-haired mazoku shouted while trying his utmost to pry Gunther - despite his pregnant condition - off Yuuri.
"No! I don't want to be separated from Heika again!" the silver haired man said, clinging to the Maou as if his very life depended on it.
"Let go of my husband or I'm going to burn you into a crisp!" Wolfram threatened and Gunther let go of Yuuri immediately, scared for his dear life. He had no doubts that Wolfram would do just that if he did not let go of His Majesty.
As soon as Yuuri got out of Gunther's death grip, Lady Celi quickly hugged him to her bosom, suffocating him in the process not unlike his previous captor had.
"Mother! Let go of Yuuri. You're suffocating him!" Wolfram whined, pink dusting his silky-smooth cheeks.
"Lady Celi, Wolfram is right. I can't breathe." The black-haired man said with some difficulty due to lack of oxygen.
"Welcome back, Shibuya." The Great Sage told him, smirking and pushing his glasses up his nose.
"Thanks. It's nice to be back." He said in reply.
"Oh!" Lady Celi exclaimed while letting go of Yuuri. "Your Majesty, it's so great to see you!" she said in her high-pitched voice.
"It's great to see you too, chichue." The king said while scratching the back of his head with a silly smile on his face.
"Welcome home, Yuuri." Conrad said to him with a calm smile and Gwendal – Arms crossed in front of him - just greeted him with a "Hn." and a scowl in his face. The Maou's smile widened into a goofy grin, his reply to both.
"What?!" the flaxen-haired boy rounded in on Yuuri at this. "You wimp! They all get to have a greeting while I - your husband - don't?!" He half-shouted half-said to the black-haired man. "You cheater! You'd been flirting with every girl you found while looking for our child's soul, haven't you?! That's the reason why it took you this long to come back!"
Yuuri kept silent.
"Hah! I knew it!" Wolfram said with tears brimming in his eyes and then turning around towards the entrance of the castle.
Yuuri groaned then pulled the blond by the waist and gave him a fast but nonetheless passionate kiss on the lips. "Why would I want to flirt when I have the loveliest nymph waiting here for me in Shin Makoku?" he said while looking directly at the emerald orbs of his spouse.
"Wimp." Wolfram chided, blushing madly. This time the word sounded more like an endearment rather than an insult.
"Yuuri!" Greta exclaimed while running towards him, arms out-stretched.
"Greta!" Yuuri said, hugging her orphaned daughter close to himself. "You've grown a lot in the past year." He told her while holding her at arms-length.
"I've missed you, Daddy."
"And I've missed you too, my baby."
Wolfram watched his husband and daughter with a smile on his face when Yuuri suddenly pulled both him and Greta into an affectionate embrace.
"I've missed both of you." Yuuri whispered into Wolfram's hair.
Everyone looked at them with smiles on their faces – well, everyone except Gwendal.
As much as Gunther hated to break the scene before him, he had to. He said: "Your Majesty, we must enter inside now. You must get some rest so you can enjoy the party later tonight."
"Yes, of course." The Maou conceded. He walked through the double-door with one hand on the small of Wolfram's back. Greta and Conrad trailed not too far behind them.

When Yuuri and Wolfram entered their bed chamber Wolfram said:
"Wimp, why don't you take a bath first before you take your rest? It would help you feel better after such a long journey."
"I'm not a wimp!" Came the automatic reply.
"Yes, you are. You're my wimp." Wolfram lovingly said to him.
Yuuri grabbed him by the wrist and pulled him close to himself, engaging him into yet another passionate kiss. Only this time, it's longer. His right hand splayed in Wolfram's now showing stomach and where his child is in and the other hand pulled his spouse even closer to himself.
When both of them broke from the kiss, they're both gasping for air.
"You should take a bath now." The blond said while pushing Yuuri in the direction of his private baths.
"Hey, wait! I don't have my clothes with me yet!"
"I'll bring them to you. For now, take a bath first."
"Okay, okay. I'll go now."
Yuuri proceeded to the bath by himself. He left Wolfram to fetch his clothes for him.
Yuuri undressed himself, grabbed a towel from the stack nearby and wrapped it in his waist before sinking into the inviting bath.
Just as Yuuri was starting to enjoy his bath, Wolfram called to him.
"Yuuri, I'm going to leave your clothes by the dressing screen. I'm going to wait for you in the room."
"Okay." Yuuri said.

After about half an hour, towel in hand, Yuuri entered their bed chamber only find Wolfram curled in their bed wearing his famed pink nightgown.
He must be tired waiting for me, Yuuri thought to himself, smiling. He silently closed the door behind him. He threw the curtains close to darken the room so that he and Wolfram could sleep better before carefully climbing into bed as not to wake his beautiful nymph. He snuggled closer to his husband and then drifted to a dreamless and contented sleep.
Several hours later. . .
"Yuuri, wake up." The blonde said while lightly tapping Yuuri's arm which was currently around his waist.
"Hhhmm. Five more minutes."
Wolfram rolled his eyes and blew some hair away from his forehead. It was really hard to wake his husband.
"Wake up, Yuuri. I'm going to give you something special." Wolfram whispered into Yuuri's ear in his best bedroom voice.
Yuuri bolted upright. This always works with him, Wolfram thought to himself with a smirk. He kicked the young king out of the bed then said: "You better get dressed. The party would start shortly."
"Oh! Wolf!" Yuuri whined, rubbing his backside. "You tricked me again!"
Wolfram stared at him then said: "If I didn't, you wouldn't have gotten out of bed."
Yuuri washed his face in the basin in the room and dressed himself while the blond did the same.
After a short while, they entered the hall together. The room was full of people from across and out of the country. Most of them were nobility. They all came to celebrate the young king's safe return and for finding the child's soul, which only a few people had ever managed to accomplish.
As expected from Gunther and his other advisors, the band playing the music was superb, the food was great, and everything was in proper order. The room was practically buzzing with excitement and laughter.
(Note: The party hasn't formally started yet.)

On the other side of the room a soldier approached the Great Wise One.
"Sir, there's an urgent message from the shrine maiden Ulrike."
"What is it?"
The soldier whispered something into his ear. The Great Wise One paled and told the soldier: "Bring me to Ulrike at once."
"Yes, sir!" The soldier said.
Both Murata and the soldier rushed out of the room.
