The best quality about Zoë Hange was her observation skills. They came in very handy when it came to obtaining information on test subjects or her fellow comrades.
Team Levi sat around the square table in the dark kitchen, dimming candles as their only source of light. Using her observation skills, Hange had figured out that Petra had a crush on their captain Levi. It hadn't taken Hange long to figure it out due to the secrete glances and the rosy blush which would dust her cheeks.
However, tonight the secrete glances were a lot more frequent and instead of a blush, a worried look would flash across Petra's face. Hange's suspicion grew when Petra rejected all alcohol, mumbling some excuse about having an early night. When the team had finished, Petra stayed behind to clean up while the rest of the squad turned in for the night. Hanji used their alone time to get answers from the worried girl.
"So, how's everything going for ya?" Hange asked.
"Its…great" Petra put on her best fake smile.
Hange decided that small talk would get her nowhere.
"Okay let's cut to the chase. What are you so worried about?" Hange frowned, crossing her arms.
"W-What do you mean?" Petra asked a confused expression on her face.
"You can fall you're squad but you can't fall me. I've seen all the glances at Levi and the worried expressions, so tell me what the hell is going on" Hange demanded. She had to get to the bottom of this.
Tears began to form in Petra's eyes and she rushed out the room crying. Hange rushed after her, feeling slightly guilty since she'd obviously hit a nerve.
After a while of searching she found Petra in her room sleeping. Her eyes were red and puffy from crying.
Hange decided to simply apologise in the morning and forget the matter.
As she turned to leave she caught sight of a box under Petra's bed. The lid was at an angle, indicating it had been opened recently. Being careful not to wake the sleeping girl, Hange removed the lid and peeked inside. There were books stacked together, worn from lots of use of the years. Hange looked over the book and noticed they were all about babies and pregnancy. The pieces quickly fitted together in Hange's head. No alcohol, mood swings and now baby books. Petra was pregnant.
Hange shook the girl awake from her peaceful slumber.
"We need to talk" She whispered, not wanting to alert anyone nearby.
After adjusting to her surrounding, Petra noticed the books on her bed. Dread filled her at the painful reminder of her current condition and the fact that Hange knew.
"So it looks like you've figured it out" Petra sighed.
"That's right. How long?" Hange asked.
"I went to the doctors last week, he said I was nearly two months along" Petra whispered.
Hange prepared herself for the most important question.
"Who's the father?" She was hesitant, not sure if she actually wanted an answer.
Tears rolled down Petra's face and her whole body began to tremble as she buried her hands in her face. She muffled a response which Hange couldn't decipher.
"What was that?" Hange was on the edge from the anticipation.
Petra looked up and stared directly into Hange's eyes.
"Levi, Captain Levi" She whispered, her voice strained with sadness and fear.
An awkward silence followed as Hange tried to come to terms with the revelation. Thinking of a way to make this situation better Hange attempted to crack a joke.
"Well, lets hope the baby doesn't inherit his genes regarding height" Hange sheepishly smiled, hoping to cheer up the girl. It did the exact opposite and Petra broke down, crying like her life depended on it.
And just like that Hange had been dragged into something way out of her league. She suddenly hated her observation skills.
AN: Don't worry there will be romance to come between Levi and Petra so please keep reading Thank you!
