Now we find out if Wolfram is pregnant again or not.
Chapter 6: Pregnant?
Wolfram had never been so nervous in his life. His heart felt like someone was squeezing it tightly and his chest was heavy. Yuri was sitting next to him staring into space. Wolfram glanced at him and gulped. He still wasn't sure what Yuri would think if he really was pregnant again. His reaction to the news two days ago had been so mixed Wolfram didn't know what to think.
*flashback*
"Oh Yuri I…don't know how to tell you. You might hate me." Wolfram broke down into tears and Yuri sighed and held him close.
"I could never hate you Wolf, never. Please tell me what's wrong."
"I-I think I'm…."
"Think you're what?" Yuri prompted gently.
"I think I might be pregnant again." Wolfram gripped the sheets tightly and looked away not wanting to see the disgust on Yuri's face.
"Oh Wolfram," Yuri breathed as he wrapped his arms around Wolfram's small form and held him close. "How long?"
"Maybe two weeks, bit less I'm not sure." Wolfram's voice shook and Yuri held him closer.
"Why did you think I would hate you for getting pregnant Wolf?" Yuri asked gently and Wolfram met Yuri's eyes.
"I thought you might think I was trying to replace Ryan with another child. I haven't given up on Ryan!" Wolfram yelled before Yuri could say anything, "I know he's alive and I pray every minute to the Great One that he will be returned to me some day."
"Wolf I would never think that in a million years. I also believe that we will see Ryan again some day." Yuri kissed Wolfram lightly but Wolfram couldn't feel the love he usually felt. "I'm sure Ryan would love to have a little brother or sister."
"Yeah, he would." Wolfram dropped his head on Yuri's chest as Yuri rubbed his back in slow circles.
"I'll make an appointment with Giesela tomorrow and have her check you out ok?" Yuri kissed Wolfram's forehead.
"Yeah sure," Wolfram closed his eyes, but you never said whether you wanted this baby or not Yuri.
*end flashback*
Wolfram played with the hem of his blue uniform and glanced at Yuri from under his eyelashes. What are you thinking Yuri? Do you want this baby? I couldn't cope if you didn't, I need your support. I need your love like the air I breathe. The door opposite them opened and Giesela stepped out.
"I have your results back Wolfram." Wolfram tensed and Yuri stood up his face showing nothing.
"What do they say?" Giesela turned to Wolfram. Wolfram glanced up at her soft green eyes and knew the answer.
:-:
Ryan had never felt so confused in his entire life. He was following Henry down a corridor but he had no idea where they were going. Henry had filled him in on some details of his life. His father had been killed by demons 6 years ago, his mother raped and murdered soon after. He had no siblings. Ryan guessed he should be angry; should hate the demons for what they did, yet he couldn't. Maybe it's because I can't remember them, if I could remember them, I'm sure I would miss them. Ryan sighed softly and glanced at Henry's back.
Henry is really my fiancé? It wasn't that Henry wasn't good looking, or that he wasn't kind to him but Ryan just couldn't seem to drag up any feelings for him what so ever. Ryan had never felt so guilty, or not that he could remember anyway. Henry seemed to really love him but he couldn't feel anything for him in return. Maybe I just need my memory back, and then I'll remember him and how much I loved him. I must have loved him to want to get married to him, right?
"We're here." Henry smiled and Ryan just managed a watery smile in return. "Don't worry so much, father isn't a dragon or anything."
"Oh, ok." Ryan shivered, ever since Henry had told him that they were going to meet his father Ryan had been filled with a sense of foreboding. Henry winked and turned to knock on the large wooden door.
"Come in!" A male voice called and Henry opened the door.
"Father I have come as requested with Ryan." Henry stepped to the side and Ryan walked in. The room was painted dark blue with a blue carpet and a red carpet leading to a wooden throne painted gold. Carvings of epic battles were carved into the throne and the room was dimly lighted due the fact that the windows faced west and it was only 10am. Thick blue curtains were pulled aside at the windows held back with a length of rope.
"Ah Henry, and Ryan come in come in!" The Lord smiled and Ryan held back a shiver. The Lord was trying to be pleasant but Ryan couldn't stop feeling that something was wrong here.
"My Lord," Ryan stood before the throne and bowed as Henry had instructed him earlier. The Lord smiled and Ryan couldn't help but notice that it was a cruel twisted smile that didn't touch his eyes.
"I'm so glad to see that you are up on your feet again Ryan."
"Thank you My Lord." Ryan bowed again and the Lord chuckled.
"No need to keep bowing Ryan, you are welcome here." Ryan stood straight and nodded but was unable to meet the Lord's eye. "This is my faithful servant David." The Lord indicated a man in this 40's standing to the right of the throne. "Henry informed me of your memory loss, I am greatly upset about this."
"Could I ever get it back?" Ryan asked but it was David who answered.
"I have already asked this question myself." Ryan eyed the scar on David's cheek and wondered where he got it from. "The doctors don't think it will ever come back completely. Maybe you will remember some things as time progresses." David inclined his head and Ryan sighed unhappily.
"Don't worry Ryan," Henry slipped his arms around Ryan making him jump, "I will tell you anything you want to know. We knew each other for years." Henry smiled and Ryan smiled back.
"Thank you Henry, you're very kind." Henry blushed and smiled again.
"Don't mention it." Ryan smiled and glanced up at the Lord. He didn't see the flash of confusion and uncertainly in Henry's eyes.
"There is one thing I would like to ask you my Lord."
"Oh, what would that be?"
"Do you, or anybody," Ryan took a deep breath, "Have any pictures of my parents before they died?" The Lord froze and Henry went still. Ryan frowned in confusion and David jumped in.
"I'm afraid your house was burnt after the demons left. Nothing was left of your parents Ryan. I'm sure Henry can tell you what they looked like though." Ryan sighed as sadness weighed heavy on his chest.
"Oh, it's just I can't remember and I feel bad about it. I thought if I could see a picture I would remember them, and then I could morn them." Henry hugged him again and Ryan relaxed into the embrace.
"They loved you very much Ryan, and would be very proud of you." Ryan nodded and wiped his eyes. Crying never did anybody any good. "Father, are we excused?" Henry glanced at his father who nodded.
"Yes you may leave."
"Thank you father," Henry nodded at David and led Ryan away. The Lord waited until the heavy wooden door shut behind them before glancing at David with a frown. David mentally prepared himself for what was to come.
"I though you said that you would take his power and give it to someone more worthy!" He hissed and David sighed.
"If we took his power we would have killed him Sir, if he's dead there is no power anymore."
"Damn! Then do something about his questions! I need him to be 100% on our side for this to work! He must believe everything we tell him!" The Lord glared at David who bowed low.
"It shall be done Sir."
"What about his memory, will it ever come back?"
"No Sir it will not." David said confidently and the Lord nodded pleased. The last thing I need is the brat turning on me.
"You may leave David, keep an eye on him." David bowed again and left the room closing the wooden door behind him.
*flashback*
"Will he ever remember anything?" David glanced at the female doctor and she shook her head.
"No, he will remember nothing of his past, unless…" She paused and frowned and David raised an eyebrow at her.
"Unless what?"
"Unless he was to meet someone from his past who had a deep connection to him; an emotional trigger might make him remember."
"We can't have that!" David hissed and the doctor shrank back in fear. "Make sure he remembers nothing no matter who he meets or your head will roll!" David turned on his heel as the doctor stuttered and hurried to gather her equipment.
*end flashback*
What's the chance of him meeting someone special from his past when he's here? Next to nothing. No demons know he's here and they will know nothing until he arrives to kill them all! David smirked and walked down the hallway then suddenly stopped to think. I haven't seen the beasts in a while, not since I got back from my trip. Maybe I should check on them. David walked down the hallway until he came to a flight of stairs leading down into darkness.
David held a hand on the wall as he walked down the winding staircase till he came to a large metal door with a lock and a blot drawn across. David undid the lock with a key from around his neck. He pushed the door open and was blasted with frigid air. David stepped in and the door locked behind him.
The underground room was made of dark-red stone, like congealed blood. Few flames flickered in the darkness but David wasn't afraid. He strode forward and stopped in front of the steel bars of a cage.
"Hello my pets; how are you today?" There was a hissing, snake-like, and four pairs of eyes gleamed red in the darkness. "Good boys." David smirked as the animals made crooning noises. They would do anything either he or their riders told them but no other could handle them. They were perfect; they could be invisible by blending with the night sky and could attack suddenly and they were deadly. No one escaped their claws. Now the demon prince was theirs they could be put to proper use. They were the ones that flew their riders from the Blood Pledge Castle two weeks ago with the captured prince. David laughed and the animals seemed to laugh with him.

"Well what do you think Elvira?" Alviss stared hard at the castle that he and Elvira had been observing for the past two days. They noted the changing of the guards, movement of servants and traffic in and out of the main gates. Alviss had to admit, the place was well protected. No guard left his post until another was there and they seemed vigilant. Somehow they seemed too vigilant, as if they expected trouble.
"We need to go in under the cover of darkness, pretend to be servants. They seem less awake at night. We'll go just before the guard changes. The current guards will want to leave and the fresh ones won't be there yet."
"We will need papers."
"We'll steal some." Elvira said simply and Alviss raised an eyebrow.
"Steal?"
"From one of the servants. They seem to go down a narrow alleyway when leaving work in the morning. We'll jump two and steal their papers. While waiting for night to fall we will hide them someplace and take their clothes and change our appearance to look like them."
"Good plan, though we are going to be criminals in the process. Kidnapping and stealing, whatever would my mother say?" Alviss's lips twitched and Elvira grinned and glanced at him.
"Is Ryan worth it?"
"I would become a mass murder for Ryan." Alviss said with passion and Elvira chuckled.
"Good, because there will be a lot of people between us and Ryan. I want bloodshed to be kept down to a minimum and I don't want civilians to be hurt in the cross fire." Elvira narrowed her eyes thinking hard. "We'll get the papers tomorrow, I know that's another delay but we must be ready otherwise they know what we're up to and take Ryan away someplace. We need the advantage of surprise."
"You got it boss." Alviss winked and Elvira grinned at him. Alviss turned back to watch the castle his face serious. Alviss, you really would do anything for Ryan wouldn't you? You must be deeply in love with him. Elvira closed her eyes for a moment and held back a sigh. I'm jealous Alviss; I wish I could love someone like that. Maybe if I survive this, I'll start paying more attention to men. Elvira chuckled wryly and Alviss glanced at her.
"What is it?"
"Nothing, nothing at all." For its very unlikely that I will survive anyway; Ryan is the important one, all I have to do is get him and Alviss out. My life doesn't matter, I'm not afraid to die for my brothers.

Wolfram waited his heart thumping as Giesela turned to him her green eyes holding sympathy.
"Is Wolf….?" Yuri couldn't finish his question and Wolfram shivered. When he had been pregnant with Ryan, Yuri had been hopping about on the spot with excitement. He had almost knocked poor Giesela over when she came to them with the results. Now however, he looked worried and maybe, scared?
"Wolfram it is my professional opinion that you are indeed pregnant." Wolfram gasped but Yuri remained quiet. When he had heard about Wolfram's pregnancy with Ryan; he had fainted, then woke up and hugged Wolfram so tight Wolfram's face went blue shouting, 'We're having a baby!' This time he said nothing, just stared at Giesela before turning his gaze to Wolfram.
"H-how long have I been…like this?" Wolfram whispered and Giesela glanced at her notes.
"About two weeks I think. I'm surprised you knew you where pregnant, most men don't know until around the fourth or fifth month."
"It was a feeling, the same feeling I got when I was pregnant with…" Wolfram stopped and looked away clenching his fists.
"Thank you Giesela, is there anything Wolfram should know?"
"Nothing different from his first pregnancy; do you remember what I taught you Wolfram?"
"Yes I remember." Wolfram nodded and Giesela smiled.
"Good, just do that and you'll be fine. Come back to see me in 2 months from now so I can check the baby's progress."
"Yes Giesela, thank you." Wolfram stood and hugged her. Wolfram and Giesela had become even closer once Wolfram settled down with Yuri and had his first baby. Giesela had been his mid-wife and helped him take care of the tiny newborn. Ryan had been 2 weeks early and only just pulled through with Wolfram, Yuri and Giesela's 24 hour care and devotion. Giesela sighed, she knew how much Ryan meant to his parents and much it hurt them that he was gone. Having another baby could be the end of their frail nerves. I better tell father, Giesela thought to herself as she bowed to Yuri and left them alone.
"Wolfram, are you ok?" Yuri asked and Wolfram glanced at him.
No, I'm not ok. "Yes I'm fine. It must have been that night, two weeks ago when this baby was conceived." Wolfram placed a hand over his stomach. "Every day this baby grows is another day that Ryan isn't with us." Yuri stared at Wolfram for a moment before turning and walking away. Yuri. Wolfram watched him go but made no attempt to stop him.
*End Chapter*
Yep, more drama for Yuri and Wolfram. Hopefully things are getting exciting now. Yes? No?
