The Kingdoms Arrangement [H.S]

Harry

I can't put my emotions into words this morning, but I know it is mainly happiness. Artemis and I are going to have a child, Heinrich is finally gone for good, and my brother is alive. I haven't felt this way in a long time, and I'm not sure how to express these emotions. Artemis is laying next to me asleep with her hair effortlessly sprawled across her shoulders and I dread having to wake her up. But today is the day we plan to go to Reagan and tell him the awful things Baron has been doing. I kiss Artemis' temple before gently shaking her. "Artemis," I shake her gently again which earns a quiet groan from her lips, "baby I need you to get up." Artemis opens her slightly to look at me and smiles at me gently.

"Hello, husband." She smiles at me, rubbing her tired eyes. I feel a tenderness in my stomach as I look at her. A few months ago I couldn't imagine falling in love, let alone getting married. And now I am married to Artemis and we are talking about names for our soon to be child.

"Good morning, wife." I give her a quick kiss. "It's time to get up though, we have to see your father immediately." Art groans as I get out of bed and she starts to slowly get up too.

"Everything is sore." She whines and I grin at her while putting on my pants and she glares looking at me. "That was not gentle last night." I laugh and walk over to her, she is still naked so I take the time to absorb every part of her body.

"Are you really complaining about two orgasms?" I raise an eyebrow at her and her cheeks flush. She walks around me to go to the closet and get clothes for today. I continue to get ready then sit in a chair and wait for her to finish up. But I continue to watch her bend over and move to get dressed and feel the pleasure of watching her walk around naked.

We head to her fathers office and knock on the door. Art starts to pick at her nails and I grab one of them to hold to comfort her. Having to turn in her own uncle for such a terrible crime would be hard considering how close she is with her family. King Reagan's voice comes through the door telling us to come in so I open the door for Art. King Reagan stands and smiles when he sees us. "Good Morning my children! How are you both feeling?" He asks, looking at Artemis with a wide smile, expecting us here for another reason. I hate to have to tell him the bad news first so I just blurt out the good news first. "Artemis is pregnant!"

The King's eyes brighten even more than they were. I hate that the brightness will go out once we tell him the real reason we are here. I look down at Art and she looks at me very confused but turns and looks at her father smiling. "OH! Really? I had no clue!" King Reagan says, but it is obvious he did. Artemis and I both laugh.

"Yes we are expecting, you will be a grandfather!" Artemis smiles but then looks at me seriously. She doesn't need to use words to convey what she is saying with that look. I need to tell him what we learned.

I look at King Reagan, laughter gone from my face and he looks confused at first but his face turns serious as well. "What is wrong?" He asks and the light in his eyes does indeed fade. "We know who Heinrich's partner was." I tell him and the King's face contorts to anger.

"Who?" Is all he says and my face pales seeing him angry, and Artemis answers for me.

"It's Uncle Baron, father. He took over the operation fully when Heinrich was on the run. We've talked to a woman who was kidnapped, father. We have enough proof to where we know it's Uncle Baron helping Heinrich." The King's jaw drops at the revelation and then his face turns into anger.

"Guards!" He yells and two guards immediately rush in. "Bring my brother in here immediately." He says in a hushed tone to make sure no one but us can hear him. When the guards run out of the room he lets his anger show, sweeping everything off his desk in one fluid motion and yelling in rage. I wrap my arms around Artemis and step back a little, bringing her with me. When King Reagan sees the movement he looks at us and his eyes soften and he slumps into his chair. "I am sorry I scared you two, I let my anger get the best of me." He apologizes and Artemis wriggles out of my arms and runs to her father.
