Ok this chapter used to have a Yuri x Wolfram lemon but I've heard that is imposing its 'no MA content' laws so I have edited it out. I hope the chapter is still enjoyable.

Chapter 7: love and tears

Conrad paused outside the king's office and stared at the wooden door wondering what to say to the king. He had known Yuri even before he had come to the demon kingdom and had taken the role as a father figure for him during his time here. Conrad was aware that he still filled that role for Yuri which was why he was here now. Gunter had told him about Wolfram and Conrad had heard from a depressed Wolfram what had happened afterwards. Conrad took a deep breath and knocked on the door.

"Your Majesty, are you in there?" There was no answer so Conrad pushed open the door to see Yuri slumped over his desk his head on the arms. "Yuri, are you ok?" Conrad hurried to Yuri's side while Yuri let out a hiccupping sob.

"Conrad?"

"Oh Yuri," Conrad sighed and pulled up a chair next to his young charge squeezing his shoulder. "What are you doing in here Yuri? You should be with Wolfram." Yuri shuddered.

"But Conrad, I feel so…so guilty." Yuri let out another sob and Conrad blinked in surprise.

"Guilty? But why?"

"Ryan is still missing, Wolfram is pregnant and all because of me!" Yuri raised his head and Conrad sighed when he saw the puffy red eyes and tear marks on the king's face.

"But Yuri, Ryan getting kidnapped wasn't your fault; and getting Wolfram pregnant is something to be overjoyed about."

"No," Yuri shook his head, "I was going to give Ryan a personal guard like Wolfram and I have, but I never got around to it. If he had a guard he wouldn't have been taken like he was! How I can expect Wolfram to be able to cope with a new baby when Ryan is missing? How could I let this happen?" Yuri collapsed into sobs and Conrad sighed heavily and wrapped him up in a hug.

"Yuri how do you think Ryan would have reacted to a personal guard? Do you even want one when you arrived here? You know Ryan well enough to know that he would have ditched them sooner than you could blink."

"But they could have saved him." Yuri protested weakly and Conrad sighed again shaking his head.

"Who would have been his guard? Do you really think Ryan would have put up with a load of adults following him around?" Conrad raised an eyebrow and Yuri sighed dropping his head on his arms again.

"I know," Yuri sighed his voice muffed, "That's why I didn't bring it up before. But I can't help but think that if I had, Ryan might have been saved. Then Wolfram and I could really celebrate that fact that Wolfram is pregnant again." Yuri sniffed and let out another hiccup.

"Yuri, Wolfram needs you to be strong for him because he's pregnant and Ryan isn't here any more. You can't just leave him now."

"But I don't know if I can be strong Conrad. I feel totally useless because I haven't brought Ryan home yet. How can Wolfram be happy without him?" Yuri sniffed again and Conrad leaned forward.

"How can Wolfram be happy, or how can you be happy without Ryan?" Yuri raised his head and blinked in confusion.

"What?"

"Yuri, I think you're getting your feelings mixed up with what you think Wolfram is feeling. Yes he's devastated over Ryan being missing but he's pregnant; you're going to lose two children if you don't act soon." Conrad gave Yuri a smile. "I think you need to prioritise. Who can you save right now; Ryan or Wolfram who is pregnant with your second child? Don't you think Ryan would love to come home and find that he has a younger brother or sister?" Conrad stood up and left the study closing the door quietly behind him.

Ryan walked around the gardens with Henry going over everything he had been told before. My parents are dead, I was fighting in a war with demons, I'm getting married to Henry who is the eldest son of the Lord here and I don't remember a thing. Ryan sighed heavily and Henry glanced at him.

"You ok?"

"I just wish I could remember something about my past. A name a face anything. I feel…like I'm forgetting something important, that I need to be someplace but I can't remember where."

"Maybe it's left over from when you were hit over the head." Henry smiled, "I would rather like to think that you wanted to come home to me." Ryan blushed and Henry chuckled.

"So you weren't fighting in the war?" Ryan asked thinking that it would be the duty of the son of a Lord to fight for his country.

"No, I'm the only child of my father so I'm the only heir meaning if I die there could be problems." Henry glanced away then met Ryan's eyes, "Do you think that's cowardly?"

"No I understand, if you're then only one who can succeed your father then staying alive would be a good idea. You can't do much for your country if you're dead can you?" Ryan grinned and Henry laughed.

"You know what, your right." Henry smiled, "Some noble sons made fun of me for it and I was beginning to wonder about it."

"Don't let people put you down, you be who you want to be. Also don't let people boss you around, the only one who knows what best for you is you." Ryan huffed grinning at Henry who grinned back.

"Where did you learn that?"

"I…don't know. Someone told me, but I don't know who." Ryan closed his eyes and a feeling of warmth and comfort seemed to stem through him. The memory of being held close and safe in the arms of someone who loved him deeply.

"Ryan?"

"I remember a feeling but nothing more." Ryan shook his head and Henry put a hand on his shoulder, giving it a light squeeze.

"You're memory will come back Ryan don't let it get you down." Ryan nodded but said nothing. For a long time the two walked in silence until Henry stopped Ryan with a hand on his shoulder. "Lets get you back inside now, your doctor would kill me if I let you get sick after all the time she's put into looking after you."

"Yes, I am feeling a little tired I guess." Ryan gave Henry a weak smile and Henry leaned down and tilted Ryan's chin upwards.

"Don't worry so much it will only give you wrinkles." Before Ryan could reply Henry pressed his lips to his. Ryan went still as Henry's lips pressed against his. His heart almost stopped and his breathing halted. Yet he felt nothing like he felt he should feel. For some reason he knew he should feel like he was floating, some tingling or funny sensations. But he felt nothing. Ryan closed his eyes trying to find the feeling he knew he should feel. In his mind's eye Ryan saw a pair of eyes, blue as sapphire with a smug lopsided smirk that made his heart jump. Ryan pulled away in shock looking into Henry's plain hazel eyes. Henry blinked in shock then frowned.

"Ryan, are you ok? Was that too much too fast?"

"I…I'm sorry Henry. I think I'm just tired." Ryan smiled and Henry's frown deepened.

"Ok, well let's go inside then." Henry turned and walked away and Ryan followed feeling totally confused.

Wolfram lay on the bed that he and Yuri shared his mind going around in circles. He was pregnant, Yuri was falling apart and Ryan was still missing. How am I going to sort this all out? I was always the one who supported Yuri and took care of Ryan. I can't deal with this by myself though; not now. Wolfram sighed and buried his head in the covers. Maybe that's what Yuri is feeling now; maybe he can't cope and needs me to help him out. Wolfram sighed as a heavy weight settled in his chest, but I can't. Wolfram felt like crying when he heard someone knocking on the door.

"Wolfram, are you in there? Can I come in?" Wolfram sat up as Yuri's voice filtered through the thick wooden door.

"Yeah, come in Yuri." Wolfram sorted his clothes and ran his fingers through his golden locks not wanting to look dishevelled. Yuri opened the door and Yuri was shocked by his red-rimmed eyes. "Yuri." Yuri came over and sat next to Wolfram on the bed.

"Wolfram I've been doing some thinking." Wolfram waited for Yuri to continue. Yuri took a deep breath, "It's about your pregnancy and Ryan. I think I should be focusing my energy in your well-being and the health of our unborn child. I'm not giving up on Ryan," Yuri said as Wolfram opened his mouth. "I'm still sending people out to search for him. I will never stop looking." Yuri took another breath, "Yet you and our unborn child are here and now and right in front of me. I'm not loosing you two as well."

"Oh Yuri," Wolfram threw his arms around Yuri's neck and hugged him tightly. Yuri put his arms around Wolfram's waist and hugged him back. For what felt like years they just held each other. Yuri pulled back and kissed Wolfram softly on the lips and

Wolfram tilted his head to deepen the kiss.

"Wolfram, can I…can we make love?" Yuri whispered and Wolfram opened his eyes to gaze into Yuri's soft black orbs.

"Nothing would make me happier Yuri." Wolfram whispered back and Yuri smiled and pushed Wolfram back onto the bed gently. After shifting to get comfortable on the middle of the bed Wolfram gazed into Yuri's eyes closing his own as Yuri kissed his neck.

"Wolfram I love you more than anything." Yuri said softly as his hand slid up Wolfram's shirt.

"I love you too Yuri." Wolfram gasped his hands curling in Yuri's hair as Yuri's hand slid up and down his chest. Time seemed to stand still as Yuri gently kissed and caressed every inch of Wolfram's skin. He wanted to prove to Wolfram that no matter what, he still loved him now as much as he did the day they married. The gentle shine in Wolfram's eye as they made love told Yuri that Wolfram felt the same. They didn't need words that night as their bodies did all the talking.

"Wolfram, are you ok?" Yuri asked much later as he lay beside his husband basking in the sweet afterglow of their love making.

"I'm fine Yuri, a lot better than I have been for weeks." Wolfram closed his eyes and Yuri pulled the covers over them and cuddled close falling asleep with Wolfram in his arms feeling content.

Conrad came by later on and found the royal couple fast asleep in each other's arms and, smiling, closed the door quietly and went to find Gwendal to finish the King's paper work for today.
