A/N: Hello guys, sorry for not updating for so long. Something happened, it's a family thing so I really can't explain something that personal to you. Also, I haven't been able to contact my co-author so I really had a hard time for this chapter. Another of my problems is that I couldn't seem to publish a chapter in wattpad and … I don't know why. So I stopped trying for a while… after a while, I seem to have forgotten this story (sorry for that) because our midterms exam came by… And as soon as I remembered it, I immediately checked if I can now publish a chapter. So yeah, here it is.

…

AGAIN, I WANT TO THANK ALL MY SILENT AND ACTIVE READERS IN BOTH 'GIVE WOLFRAM BACK TO ME' AND 'RETRIEVING MEMORIES'… SINCE JULY 2018, 'GIVE WOLFRAM BACK TO ME' HAS BEEN GOING FROM RANK 1 OR RANK 2, INTERCHANGING, IN THE 'KYOUKARAMAOH', 'YUURAM' AND 'WOLFRAM' TAGS UP UNTIL NOW… I NEVER HAD THE CHANCE TO TELL YOU… BUT I REALLY AM SO HAPPY. I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU ALL FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART.

Chapter 5

Wolfram's POV

"THE BABY?!" we heard from outside the door. That voice… its…

The door opened with a force and with a loud bang. The person behind it entered as soon as the door was opened. She whipped her head towards my direction – her green eyed eyes wide at disbelief.

"Mother…" I uttered as our eyes met… my being filled nervousness.

She opened her mouth – as if she was about to say something – but closed it back again, her faced showing she had a realization of something. Gisela and I glanced at each other, rooted where we are. If I'm nervous, then Gisela is downright scared. Mother went towards the door; she looked outside to see if anyone was there. After scanning left and right, seeing no one was there, she quickly closed the door – locked it. She then turned to us once more and starts walking towards our direction. As soon as she's by the bed, she looked at me with an unreadable expression. She then turned to Gisela.

"Gisela, I'll give you ONE chance for a decent explanation, so don't mess it up. What in Shinou's name is happening?" you can hear the anger and disappointment in her voice. Gisela trembled slightly, looking at the previous queen with fright.

"Mother, please… It's not Gisela's fault. I asked her to keep this a secret!" I exclaimed.

"W-Wolfram…" she looked at me. She then sighed and turned to Gisela. " I'm sorry Gisela, I didn't mean to put pressure on you like that. It's just that, you should know that this is a sensitive matter. Whatever you may are – a medic, a healer, a doctor… you should know." My mother uttered. Gisela lowered her head in guilt.

"Mother, please…" I begged instinctively, not even knowing what I'm even asking for.

"The both of you… tell me. What is really happening?" she asked.

"My lady. The truth is… Wolfram is pregnant." Gisela started.

"I think I already know that." My mother retorted. "But why are you hiding this from us?... Don't tell me that the father of that child is not His Majesty!"

"No! Mother, I can definitely assure you. Yuuri is the father! How could you think I could do something like that?" I countered.

"No that's not what I mean. I know you can never be unfaithful. I was only suspecting that someone else force himself on you." She explained.

"No, nothing like that happened. I would rather die than let myself be tainted by another person." I replied.

"I'm sorry for thinking that way, honey." My mother apologized.

"Mom, please allow me to explain." I said and got a nod from my mother. "The truth is, it's been a month since we found out about my situation."

FLASHBACK (ONE MONTH AGO):

"Arghhh!" I exclaimed walking out the room. Gunter has never stopped acting like a mother hen since this morning; it's getting on my nerves.

*sigh* What the hell is going on… I admit Gunter is very annoying today, but it's not just. Recently, I've been very irritable. After returning from Hexzalia, I'm always in a good mood, but after a while, it turned sour. And I thought my mood would improve once Yuuri return my feelings… turns out that's not the case. I'm more short-tempered nowadays.

And it's not only my temper. Lately, I've been feeling a bit unwell. I would get headaches and back aches. Sometimes, I would feel sore in some parts of my body. I get tired easily as well. I would feel sick sometimes at morning. My maryoku is very unstable. There are foods and scents that I used to like, but now I can't seem to stand them. Is something wrong with me? Am I coming down with an illness or something?

And with that thought in mind, I decided to pay Gisela a visit and ask for a check-up. She performed a regular physical check-up on me and found nothing wrong. She asked me what symptoms I was experiencing, so I told her. But she can't seem to figure out anything.

"Oh! I forgot to mention. My maryoku is highly unstable nowadays too. Could it be that it's not physical but something related to my maryoku… I mean, I've stayed in a human country for a while. It might have affected me." I said.

Then Gisela examined my maryoku. She then found two points of disturbance. She looked pale.

"Two points of disturbance? Where? How can we stabilize my maryoku there?" I asked.

"It's not that simple Wolfram. What I'm saying is, those disturbances are located in your womb." She said.

"My… womb?!" I was left speechless.

"Wolfram, you're pregnant. Twins at that. The reason for all you feel physically now, even your mood, and even your unstable maryoku… it's because you are expecting." She said. "Wow, although male pregnancy is really possible for someone with a pure noble bloodline, I never expected that the first patient I will have with this case is you. Anyway, congratulations, Wolfram. Oh! I mean Your Highness."

"T-thank you." I replied. I unconsciously reached to touch my tummy. I- I'm pregnant.

"We should tell everyone the good news! I'm sure His Majesty will be ecstatic!" she said excitedly.

"Wait. Not yet." I said. "Let's keep it a secret for now."

"Eh? Why? Don't tell me you're scared that His Majesty will wimp out on you?" she said jokingly.

"No, it's not that. In a month or so, Yuuri's family will arrive to help with the preparation of our wedding. I think it would be best to announce the big news when everyone's here. I'm sure Yuuri's mother will cry out of joy." I said, remembering how welcoming Yuuri's mother is to me.

"Oh, so it's like that. But two months is a long period of time. And with your delicate situation, it's risky." She reminded.

"Don't worry, Gisela. I promise, now that I know I'm carrying… I will be careful. I will not physically stress myself out. When training my soldier, I will not move around much. I will only shout out orders and let my officers do the work. I will rest when I'm tired. I will eat properly; I will get a decent amount of sleep. I will take care of myself. If I'm feeling even a bit off, I'll go to you." I told her.

"Fine. I'll also try to be around you as much as I can." She assured. "Oh, forgive me if I'm sticking my nose in something private… but how… when…" she couldn't finish her sentence.

"You mean when did IT happen…" I finished for her.

"Y-yeah… sorry for being nosy. If you don't want to tell me, that's okay." She said.

"Well, I guess I could tell you… But don't tell anyone." I said.

"I wont! I promise." She swore.

"Remember the banquet to celebrate my safe return to Shin Makoku?" I asked and she nodded. "There you go, that night."

"Eh? That was two months ago." She said. "So that means you've been pregnant for two months already."

" Yeah… I guess so." I replied.

"So His Majesty could wait any longer and jumped on you that night, huh…" she commented.

"No he didn't." I said.

"Ehhh?! You don't make sense." She made a face.

"During the banquet, you know how many toasts we received. It was enough to make even me drunk. When we turned in for the night, you could say that alcohol clouded our minds and led to … umh… IT… happening. At some point, he even turned maou that night as we did IT… And when we woke up the next morning, I could somewhat remembered what happened… Yuuri on the other hand, CLEARLY remembers EVERYTHING. His maou mode somehow helped him remember every detail of the night. I told him I could only remember vaguely of what transpired. That idiot took advantage of what I said and told me that he would help me remember it. And he did me as he done the night before." I told Gisela.

I looked at her and she's blushing like crazy. Not that I'm not… but not as much. Then "Kyaaaaaaa! Wolfram! Oh my gosh!" she squealed.

"Oy! Keep it down, will ya."

End of flashback

"And after that, I regularly pay Gisela a visit for a check -up, and did what I promised. I took care of myself. I was planning to tell everyone. I really was. I didn't mean to hide it." I told my mother. I'm starting to get teary. "But I just didn't expect that just a few days before Yuuri's family gets here, he would have an accident like that." Tears rolled down my cheeks one after another.

"Oh sweet heart…" my mother pulled me into a hug. "Don't worry, dear. I'm sure Heika's memories will return."
