1. Chapter 1

Levi's POV

I walked into my office. It was unusually quiet. Weird. I thought but didn't take much note of it. It wasn't until later that I noticed something was off. Or rather that someone was missing. I stuck my head into the hall, looking around. I saw Hanji passing; she was holding a file and mumbling something.

"Hanji!" I called. She looked up. Her hair was a mess, due to lack of sleep. Wouldn't be surprised if she spent all weekend here. "Have you seen Petra?"

"No." She said. She looked towards the ceiling. I waited a moment knowing this was her way of recalling stuff. After a minute, she looked back at me and continued, "That's right. She called in sick." Sick?

"That's unusual." I said aloud.

"I know. She never calls in sick. But I have a theory!" She said excitedly. I raised an eyebrow. "Last week, she was telling me that she was feeling particularly down. She told me how she was going to just stay at home and drink. I, being her best friend, was not about to let her stay at home and drink her life away., so I left early on Friday, snuck into her house, and stole all her alcohol." She paused.

"So?" I said, totally confused as to why this was relevant to her being gone.

"So, she would have gone to the bar!"

"So maybe she got wasted on Friday night. That wouldn't affect her Monday." I said hoping my voice gave nothing away considering I knew what had really happened.

"So, she probably hooked up with someone." Oh. "And now she's pregnant!" Oh. "And morning sickness is one of the first signs of pregnancy!" Hanji exclaimed. Oh no. "So I am going to check on her later. I am going to bring pregnancy tests, medicine, her favorite foods, and hide any alcohol." Hanji began talking a mile an hour while I felt ready to pass out. Is it possible? "If she is, I am not letting her drink any while she carries the baby. Oh, gosh. I have to figure out what I'm gonna do about the father. I sure hope she remembers." Oh she remembers. I made sure of that.

"Excuse me." I closed the door leaving Hanji still talking to herself. Am I a father?
