Author's note: I am so sorry for the long wait! The truth is my mental health went downhill and I needed to take a break from typing and do something that I enjoy, which is playing on my switch and watching videos on youtube. So please enjoy the Cup Of China!

Oh and a massive thank you to my beta I Will Achieve Vikturi!

It's been three weeks since Yurio's first silver medal from his first qualifying figureskating competition and now it's time for Victor to shine. As for the man in question, he is seen packing for his competition which is taking place in China, while Yuri (who is now developing a baby bump) is sitting on the bed trying not to laugh at his husband.

"Victor we'll only be in China for a week, maybe an extra week, you don't need to pack all of this."

"But Yuri!" Victor exclaimed. "I need them, as you never know my costumes could be ripped when practicing, or what if weget stuck in China for some strange reason."

"Okay, you win," Yuri said. "However, you can only take three suitcases… not twenty suitcases."

Victor gave Yuri his heart-shaped smile and walked towards the bed and gently held Yuri while rubbing the little bump. "My little Mischa, are you going to cheer for papa?"

The little bump named Mischa then made Yuri jump a bit, as to Yuri it felt like a little butterfly flying in his stomach. "I think Mischa said yes." Yuri smiled as he cradled the hardly-there bump. "I'm sure uncle Phichit will love you too." Suddenly, Yuri yawned and Victor knew it was time for them to go to bed. 'I can always pack tomorrow.' Thought Victor as he did his night-time routine.


ᒄ₍⁽ˆ⁰ˆ⁾₎ᒃ


It was the next morning and it was a very early start (It's four in the morning as they had to drive seven hours and fifty minutes to Domodedovo Airport, Moscow) and they need to make sure everything is packed as they have a two-day flight to Beijing Capital International Airport.

"Victor, make sure you've packed everything," Yuri said sleepily as he was sitting in the car ready to go, Victor refused Yuri to help him pack the car as Victor noticed that Yuri was still suffering from his morning sickness. A few minutes later Victor got into the driver side of his gold and black LADA XRAY

"I think I've got everything," Victor said as he put the key in the ignition. "You can go to sleep on the way." As soon as Victor said those Yuri fell asleep, not knowing the loving smile Victor was showing.

After the seven hour and fifty minute drive, the two husbands finally arrived at Moscow airport, and quickly put their suitcases (In Victor's case all three suitcases and as for Yuri one big suitcase) into the loading area and swiftly went to find Yakov and Georgi. After a few minutes that felt like hours both of them spotted Yakov and Georgi waiting for them at Ritazza.

"Yuri, Victor, we're just about to decide what we'd like for lunch," Yakov announced as they neared their table.

Victor nodded as he helped Yuri to sit on his chair, Victor then sat down and had a look at the menu along with Yuri.

"What would you and Mischa like to eat?" Victor asked.

"I think both of us would like some soup, along with roast beef and capers with feta cheese, caper mayo red onion, and baby spinach on a Chicago style panini roll to share," Yuri said. "What about you?"

"Well since you're sharing a panini with me, I think I'll just have queso chips and cheese too, along with a large white chocolate mocha

Yuri nodded after Victor's questions and went to the counter and ordered his and Yuri's food which came to 1,307.47, which Victor happily paid for.

"Wasn't that too expensive?" Yuri asked as he saw the receipt.

"This is Russia." Was Yakov's dry response.

As Yuri and Georgi were gossiping about the latest make-up lines not including Georgi's love life, Victor and Yakov were having a completely different conversation and it was mostly to do with Yuri.

"How long can he travel for?" Yakov asked.

"Until he reaches six months in pregnancy," Victor answered.

"How long is he?"

"3 to four months pregnant. The twins are due on April 11th, 2017. However, the twins could be born early due to Yuri's eating disorder, or his body unable to cope with the weight of the babies."

"I see."

Just then the tannoy went off to let the flyers know that their flights to Beijing Capital Airport are ready.


ᒄ₍⁽ˆ⁰ˆ⁾₎ᒃ


After flying for two days that included having a layover in Novosibirsk (which unfortunately their flight was delayed for sixteen hours and ten minutes) they finally arrived at Beijing Capital Airport.

After all four adults (well three as Yuri is sleeping on Victor's back as he was deep asleep) went to collect their bags went to their hotel called the Tylfull Hotel after entering a vehicle that the ISU give to all skaters. On their way to the hotel, Victor gently woke Yuri with gentle hands moving up and down on his right arm and cooing at him too. Thirty-six minutes later all three skaters and Yuri who is now wide awake finally arrived at the hotel.

"...Are we here?" Yuri asked as he yawned sleepily.

"Yes my love, we are," Victor answered as he picked Yuri up in a bridal carry, and as Yuri felt Victor's heartbeat he went back to sleep.

'Oh, Yuri, you are adorable!' Victor thought while watching Yuri lovingly. Suddenly he heard a voice that he recognized and smiled fondly as it was his best friend and competitor, Christophe Giacometti.

The man in question is a tall man who has dark, brown hair; with the top being dyed blond from the fringe to the crown. He has long eyelashes, lime-green eyes, mustache stubble, and a goatee beard, and is wearing a Hugo boss slim-fit shirt in stretch-cotton dobby that is colored white, and regular-fit jeans in grey super-stretch denim which also happened to be Hugo, and on his feet a pair of white Puma trainers.

"I see you're as fashionable as ever Chris," Victor commented.

"I could say the same for you." Chris countered as Victor and Yuri are both wearing tracking bottoms, jackets, and trainers that are from FILA.

"You know I like to be comfy for the long flights. And besides, all of us are going out for dinner tonight. That reminds me, has Phichit arrived yet?"

"Yeah, he's eating out with us. I booked our table for seven."

"Thanks, Chris," Victor said as he walked into the hotel so that Yuri can sleep even better in their room. "We'll see you tonight."

Later that evening Yuri is seen wearing an Evita monochrome one-shoulder midi dress that is black and Cochisa 105 black leather high heeled sandals, and his hair done in a bun but with braids surrounding it and a leather handbag that has a second pair of dolly shoes for when they walk back to the hotel. Victor is seen wearing a double-breasted, bird's-eye suit that is black and underneath a white slim-fit, cotton jersey shirt and a pair of black Aramin shoes. Chris is wearing casual but formal clothing that consists of a white long sleeve top, formal trousers that look like they're from Gucci, and a pair of black smart shoes. Phichit (who happened to help Yuri with his hairstyle and clothing) is seen to be wearing more casual clothing, which consists of a blue denim jacket, jeans that are from Gucci and a plain white top from GAP, and a pair of white and black high-top trainers. All of them are in the Taxi on the way to a restaurant called 海碗居老北京炸酱面大王总店 and a quick google translate made by Phichit translated it to Old Beijing Fried Noodle Shop

"Niánqīng de dàshī, Niánqīng de qíngfù we have arrived." The taxi driver announced.

"How much?" Phichit asked.

"¥23."The taxi driver answered.

Phichet happily paid for the taxi fare and told the driver that there's no need to come back and pick them up as they all will walk back to the hotel. The taxi driver nodded in understanding and left the four adults to enter the restaurant.

One of the waitresses that work in the restaurant took them to the private table and all four ordered their meals.

Yuri and Victor both ordered roast lamb, as for drinks Victor ordered Huangjiu and Yuri ordered a Lemon Tea, while Chris ordered spicy squid whisk and the same drink as ordered bean noodle meatballs.

After a nice meal and Yuri's pregnancy reveal (thanks to drunk Victor as both of them wanted to tell them after the short skate) they all decided to return to the hotel.


ᒄ₍⁽ˆ⁰ˆ⁾₎ᒃ


After walking for over an hour to make Victor and Chris were sober, they were ready for the competition.

The only thing that Yuri can think of once he's getting ready for bed in the very massive bathroom is what Phichit was planning for the baby, while Victor thought of Chris's short skate that will cause many females and males aliketo have nosebleeds.

Author's note: In real life Domodedovo Airport, doesn't have Ritazza but it was the only way I could get the menu and convert the price into Russian currency (and I had help from my step-father who was a teacher to make sure I converted the American dollars to Ruble, but he wasn't sure of it either) so I may have miscalculated somewhere during the conversion. The airport's official website for a list of bars and restaurants: .ru/en/shopping/shops-and-restaurants/

As for the restaurant I mentioned "海碗居老北京炸酱面大王总店" is a real restaurant in Bejing, in the Haidian District. The website of this restaurant if you're interested is: . . I'm not involved or affiliated with the business I've mentioned.

Huangjiu: known as yellow wine in China, yellow wine is a fermented alcoholic beverage brewed directly from grains such as millet, rice, and wheat. It is not distilled but typically has an alcohol content around 15-20%. It is usually pasteurized, aged, and filtered prior to bottling. Despite its name, huangjiu may be clear, beige, or reddish as well as yellow. The Chinese form of sake, mijiu, is generally considered a form of huangjiu within China. Huangjiu is classified based on several factors. Among them are the drink's "dryness", the starter used in its production, and the production method. (source Wikipedia)
