Warning you now, Levi will be OOC in most parts of this story for the sake of cuteness. Please bare with it.
"Levi, I'm pregnant." You said, looking your husband of three months in the eyes.
Those gray eyes you were staring at, the same gray eyes that hardly ever showed emotion, widened.
"What?!" He asked, shock written all over his face.
You shrugged and said, "You heard me."
He just stared at you for a minute before going and sitting on the couch. He put his head in his hands and just sat there. This was not the reaction you were expecting. It's not like you expected him to be over excited and jumping up and down or anything, but you did think he'd at least be happy. You walked over to him and sat down next to him.
You put your hand on his arm and said, "Honey, are you not happy?"
He sighed, hearing your sad tone. He looked up at you almost sadly himself.
"It's not that I'm not happy it's just…." He trailed off and sighed again.
You took his hand and asked, "Then what is it?"
"…I don't know how to raise a child…." He muttered, looking down again.
You sighed in relief.
"That's what you're upset about?" You asked.
He nodded and looked at you with an expression you'd never seen on your husband's face in all the years you had known him. Panic.
"_, what if I screw up?" He asked.
"Levi, you'll be fine." You said, trying to calm him down.
"You know me _. I was an orphan on the streets. I never had parents to teach me. I don't know how to act around children let alone raise one!" He said, speaking much faster than normal.
'Holy shit! He's really freaking out!' You thought.
You sighed and wrapped your arms around his neck. You hugged him and he hugged you back, burying his face in your neck.
"We're both orphans Hun." You said, nuzzling his hair.
"Yeah, but you grew up in a foster home." He said against your neck.
"Seven different foster homes actually…." You said, sadness laced in your voice.
He looked up at you and said, "What?!"
You blushed lightly and nodded.
"You never told me…." He said, looking at you sadly.
"I know…. I was too embarrassed to say it…." You said, looking away.
He gently took you chin between his thumb and index finger and turned your face so you were looking at him again.
"You can tell me anything _. You know that." He said, kissing your forehead.
You sighed and said, "I know Levi but I … I never told anyone…." You said, looking at him sadly.
He leaned forward and kissed you lightly. He rested his forehead against yours and looked into your eyes.
"Do you know how to raise a child?" He asked.
"Well, sorta. I mean, I did have seven different sets of parents. Though, only one was good…." You said, pouting lightly.
"Emily and James?" He asked.
"Yeah. Why else would they have been at our wedding?" You said.
"And there's the fact that you call the mom and dad." He retorted.
"That's true. But anyway, I did kinda had to take care of the younger kids sometimes so I sorta have some experience. And besides, we can always ask Max and Erwin for help. They already have one." You said, referring to your best friend Max who had married Levi's best friend Erwin.
"Right, how old is she now?" Levi asked.
"Six months I think?" You said.
"Sounds about right." He responded.
You sat in silence for moment before Levi asked, "Do you really think you're ready for this?"
You looked up at him and nodded.
"As long as I have you I know I can get through anything." You said, smiling shyly.
He smiled back lightly and wrapped his arms around your waist.
"Then I'll work hard to be a good dad." He said, kissing your neck.
You smiled and giggled. You leaned your head back so you were looking at him upside down. He kissed you lightly and you smiled up at him.
"I love you Levy." You said, using the nickname that you had given him back in high school.
He chuckled quietly and said, "I love you too Angel."
You leaned back against him and said, "I'm tired. Let's go to bed. We'll call Max and Erwin in the morning."
"Sounds good." He said, picking you up bridal style.
You wrapped your arms around his neck and nuzzled his chest. He carried you down the hall in your small apartment to your bed room and set you down on the bed. He closed the door and came to rest his body next to yours. You snuggled into his chest as he pulled the blanket up over your bodies and wrapped his arms around your waist.
'I really hope this works out….' You thought, your eyes falling shut, sleep flooding into your body.
I hope this wasn't too shitty. Please let me know what you think!
