"I am what?"
"You are pregnant Lord von Bielefeld." Answered Gisela beaming.
"How ..." stammered Wolfram, speechless.
"Well ... how, I can explain you pretty exactly using a few examples over the past few months." Yuri grinned. "Or I could demonstrate it to you too ..."
Wolfram looked at him, embarrassed. "We're funny again today."
"I'm going to be a dad!" Said Yuri happily and wrapped his arms around Wolfram's still slim body. "Our love grows in you!"
Wolfram looked at his flat stomach and put a hand on it. "Oh Shinou."
"But he can't help. You are already in the third month. "Gisela smiled now too, she was relieved that Mao was so happy about his heir. Wolfram rolled his eyes. "Could it be that I'm the only one who's just shocked?" Two beaming heads nodded unanimously.
Yuri was still hugging Wolfram, but now let go of him and sat next to his husband. "When do we tell the others?"
Wolfram swallowed. Gwendal would knit tons of cuddly toys after he had calmed down again, Conrad would smile gently, his mother would freak out with enthusiasm and Gunter ... yes Gunter would probably pass out with nosebleeds from both nostrils.
The fire demon sighed. "We should tell you at breakfast tomorrow morning." Yuri pouted. "Why not at dinner today?"
Wolfram looked transfigured at his stomach. "Because I have to understand it myself first."
Suddenly he started sobbing. "I am a soldier, I want to fight, I am responsible for your protection."
He sniffed. "How am I supposed to do that if I can't even get on the horse, much less have my Maryoku under control?"
Yuri remembered the previous day when his sweetheart produced little fire dragons that went roller coaster because Greta told about her new school friend who had kissed her.
On the cheek, mind you.
In lower school.
But Wolfram was so worried about his daughter that he hadn't even noticed how the fire dragons had meanwhile set not only the curtains behind them, but also the ceiling on fire.
If Yuri hadn't sent his water dragons on Wolfram, they'd be holding the conferences now without a roof.
After that, Wolfram vomited and passed out.
That was the reason why Gwendal, Conrad and Yuri insisted that he should be examined by Gisela.
Yuri kissed his completely desperate fire demon. "I love you my darling, we will be fine. You have not only been moody since you were pregnant. "
As the words tumbled out of his mouth, he realized that it had been the wrong choice of words. "So I'm moody." Wolfram hissed.
Small clouds of smoke escaped his sweet ears.
Yuri tried to keep talking faster than his husband. "Wolfram, I love you because you make sure that the castle can be redecorated from time to time, otherwise it would be boring to only have the same curtains and the same wall decoration."
He kissed the blonde passionately on his soft lips. "Hm ... you taste so sweet and fruity."
Wolfram smiled at him. "Do you like that?"
Yuri nodded and Gisela was glad that the Mao was now able to handle Wolfram's moods so well. He would need that for the next 10 months. The green-haired healer had told the two lovebirds that they should come to her in the infirmary again in the next few days to find out about the pregnancy of Mazoku men. Now the two should digest the news first.
Everyone met for dinner in a familiar circle.
Cecile sat opposite Wolfram, Conrad between Yuri and Cecile, Gwendal on Cecile's other side next to Gunter. This had Greta next to him, who in turn sat next to Wolfram. The round table was set with all kinds of delicacies.
Yuri was grinning the whole time, while his husband was rather pale and was clearly struggling with the contents of his stomach.
Wolfram's mother had noticed her son's changed behavior for days, of course, but waited for him and Yuri to announce the news. She was sure that in a year she would be a grandma.
But well. She could wait.
When a servant brought in the fish, Wolfram's control was over. He put his hand over his mouth and ran out of the dining room. The door to the toilet could be heard slam.
Everyone stared at the astonished Mao, who made no move to run after, but relaxed, took a shrimp and ate it with relish.
Then he turned to the maid. "Please open all the windows and take the fish back with you. I would like to eat with my husband and not in separate rooms. However, he is currently quite sensitive to fish." Gwendal frowned. "Do you want to tell us something Yuri?"
The Demon King shook his head. "I promised Wolfram I wouldn't say anything until he was ready," he replied, beaming. He was sure everyone in the hall already knew, but Wolfram wanted it that way.
After a while his husband came back into the dining room. "Is it getting better honey?" Yuri asked and put a hand on Wolfram's arm. This just nodded. "Thank you for opening the windows."
Wolfram noticed that he was being stared at from all sides and sighed. "Well then, just say it."
Yuri beamed even more. "Im going to be a father! Wolfram and I are expecting a baby. Shin Makoku is going to have an heir ... "
Yuri happily chatted through all the possible ways to best deliver such wonderful news.
Conrad had to laugh. "Yes, we got it Yuri." He hugged Wolfram happily. "Congratulations! I'm happy for both of you. "
Cerie squealed. She also ran to the blond, embarrassed-looking demon and buried him in her bosom. "Mummy…"
Yuri freed his husband. "If you keep squashing your son like this, you won't have grandchildren Cerie." He grinned cheekily. Wolfram sat gasping on the chair.
Suddenly he was hugged again and held tight. "I'm so happy. You're finally happy, my little brother. "Everyone looked surprised at the otherwise strict Voltaire leader.
He smiled happily at his brother and saw lavender hair fly out of the corner of his eye. The subsequent bang was not long in coming.
When Lord von Voltaire followed the noise with his gaze, he saw the long, purple-colored mane and body lying on the floor. With the royal teacher's chest still moving, he turned back to his youngest brother.
Wolfram's jaw dropped, he hadn't expected such a reaction from his oldest brother at all. "Gwendal ..." he gasped. "I can not breathe."
Yuri again freed his husband from a hug that was too tight. "I think I have to protect you from your mother and brothers from now on." He smirked. Wolfram nodded and beamed at Yuri.
A small hand slipped onto Wolfram's stomach. "There's no room for a baby there." Greta said skeptically. "You don't have a big belly at all."
Wolfram took his daughter and put her on his lap. "It's still growing. I'm glad he's not fat yet. " he said with a laugh.
Gwendal sat back in his seat. "I'll knit some welcome cuddly toys for your baby."
Yuri and Wolfram looked at each other and snorted.
They had said almost all reactions correctly beforehand.
