It's been roughly three years. Levi and I are still married and now we have a three year old daughter we had together, Kalura. I named her after my late mother, obviously.
Unfortunately I have other news I have to share. I am pregnant, again. Three years have passed and now I have another one. At first I was angry but then I calmed down, because then Kalura has a friend to talk or play with.
That's when I realized Kalura was just like me. She had trouble with making friends and had trust issues, but she also has my impulsivity. Kalura does have Levi's strictness and rude side, but I swear if she uses that attitude towards me, I'll spank her. I don't need another foul mouth in the house.
It was a quiet night, and Levi was out at the Wall again. I was home with Kalura, and she was asleep. I was just sitting on the couch, reading a book of mine I've held onto as a kid. Looking down at my stomach, I rub it a little. It's been eight months already and I'm having another kid. And it's almost here though.
I close the book and start talking to my stomach. The little one can hear my voice, because I did feel some rough kicks here and there. The baby's strength was as equal as Kalura's when I was pregnant with Kalura. Already I was sleepy and I started to drift into sleep. Until I heard Kalura crying.
I get up and walk up the stairs and into her room. It was kind of cold in her room, and then I saw the fussing Kalura. I walked over to her and picked her up. Hey I was pregnant but I was still strong to pick up stuff. Though I was told it was not recommended. I didn't care, this was my kid. Levi's kid too.
"Sssh," I soothed Kalura. "It's okay..."
Kalura sniffled, then looked up at me. She had Levi's eyes, but there was strangely a brown pigment to it. But if one were to look closely, she had some green in her eyes. So, really, she had hazel eyes.
"What's wrong baby?"
"Daddy I'm scawed," Kalura answered.
For someone who was three, she was quite smart. She did know how to speak, but she isn't good at speaking. Another thing is how she calls Levi and me. Kalura refers Levi as "dad" while I'm referred to "daddy". I am her mother, but I'm a guy, so daddy was proper enough for me.
"Why are you scared, child?" I asked.
"Because I miss dad! Whewe's dwad?!"
"Dad's at a mission. He'll be back tomorrow morning to be with his baby girl."
Kalura finally calmed down. "Okway."
"Now go to sleep, baby," I put her back down on her bed.
Kalura was already old enough to not have a crib, so she had a small bed. However, I put bars up on the sides so she won't fall off. And Levi and I knew how to work those.
As I put Kalura down on her bed, she closed her eyes, her pretty hazel eyes, and fell asleep. Looking at her was like looking at Levi. It was heartwarming and perfect, but simply amazing. She was our kid, and she always will be.
I walked out of the room and went into my room. Still looked the same, except I hung a painting of my family on one of the walls. Levi got that for me on one of my birthdays and I have cherished it since. I don't know how he got it, but I didn't care. It reminds me of my childhood, when everything was simple and fun. I lay down on the bed, on my side, and went to sleep.
"Daddy, daddy wake up!"
I felt Kalura excitedly jump on the bed. At first I thought it was Levi so I just groaned. Kalura then got her way.
"DAD!" Kalura hollered.
"I'm up!" I barked. "And no shouting In the house please! I might get a headache!"
"Okway!" Kalura then jumps off the bed and runs out.
I sigh and run fingers through my hair. I then get up and walk downstairs. Levi was downstairs sitting by Kalura at the kitchen table. It looks like Levi is educating her, which pleased me. I smiled as I walk past them both.
"Morning, Eren," Levi said to me.
"Morning," I yawned, stretching my arms.
"Mowning daddy!" Kalura said.
I smiled warmly at her. "Morning to you my little princess."
"I'm not a pwincess!" Kalura whined.
"What are you then?" I asked.
"A pwotector! A hewo who saves people! Not some wady who sits and wooks pwetty!"
Slowly I look at Levi and he looked at me. Levi rolls his eyes and looks back at Kalura, who was giggling.
"Levi..." I started to say.
"What? She's been reading adventure books lately. I told her the difference between a princess and a hero. Kalura likes being a hero though, but she's our princess though."
"HEWO!" Kalura retorted.
"Ey, don't yell at your dad!" I scolded.
"Sowwy dad and daddy," Kalura apologized.
"It's alright, I'm used to being yelled at," Levi remarked. "By your daddy, Kalura."
"Oh really?!" I questioned.
"Oh yeah!" Levi retorted.
By that time I was too tired and my muscles ached. I sat down in a chair and sighed.
"What's wwong, daddy?" Kalura asked.
"Nothing much sweetie. It stinks having a baby in you, sometimes."
"But why, daddy?"
"That's something you, dad, and I can discuss later in life."
"I don't wanna wate that wong."
"Well you will."
"Okway," Kalura sighed.
"So who's hungry?" Levi asked out of the blue.
"I am!" Kalura and I exclaimed at the same time.
We then looked at each other and laughed. Levi smiled a little.
"I'll start breakfast," Levi stated.
"So how was work?" I asked, while I was done eating my food.
"Same old, same old," Levi answered. "We've been going outside the walls lately, and..."
"And what?" I inquired.
"We spotted a small Titan..."
I gasped. Kalura, was unaware what was going on. She was busy eating her sausage and eggs. She didn't know what a wall meant in this situation, and what a Titan was. And I sure as hell won't tell her I'm technically a Titan. Yet.
"But that's impossible... We exterminated them all."
"I guess we didn't get all of them. But they're only seven to fourteen meter titans though."
"Still! I'm not letting our little ones going out of those walls until I let them and or they're in the Survey Corps!" I almost shouted.
Then it was silent for a while. It's been a while since I had an outburst, due to my impulsivity. Kalura then broke the silence.
"Daddy. What's a Titan and suwvey cowps and all that shtuff?" Kalura curiously asked.
"Honey, it's something that you won't understand for a while," Levi explained. "But titans are bad creatures that existed long ago... Almost all of them are bad..."
"Except?" Our little girl asked.
"There are Titan Shifters, where humans turn into titans, but a majority of Titan shifters I met are good titans that protect instead of slaughter."
"Swaughter?"
"You won't understand for a long time, baby," I cooed at Kalura. "But as long as you're with us, Armin, Mikasa and others we know, you'll be safe..."
And that was a promise I had always kept.
That ends chapter one.
