Levi gently brushed his hand over Petra's bulging stomach, breaking his ever present frown to crack a small smile. He glanced up at Petra's face, so calm and beautiful when she was sleeping.
"You know you don't have to wait until I fall asleep to touch my tummy." Petra opened one hazel eye, smirking as Levi had a bit of a shocked look on his face that he was caught. For a moment, Petra almost thought she saw Levi's pale cheeks turn slightly red.
"I-Um, I wasn't touching your stomach; I was cleaning some dirt off of your shirt." He stuttered but held his answer with the confidence he always possessed.
"Alright Levi. If you don't want me to see you go soft, fine." She kissed his cheek quickly and when she was about to pull back away, Levi wrapped an arm around her neck and softly pushed her lips back down upon his. Petra's cheeks heated up when Levi nibbled at the bottom of her lip and she let a small whimper escape her lips.
"Sorry, but I can never seem to get enough of you." He let go for a brief moment and wrapped his free arm around her waist. Petra smiled sweetly at her husband and tucked her head under his chin, laughing as Levi littered the top of her head with small kisses.
"Levi…?" Petra tilted her head up but still kept it under Levi.
"Yes?" He answered in a lighter tone than usual and kept his gorgeous blue eyes shut.
Petra backed out from under Levi and took his hand in hers. "When are we going to tell the rest of the squad…? And Erwin about the baby?"
Levi frowned and looked into Petra's hazel eyes. "I didn't know you wanted to?" He sat up ran a hand down Petra's side.
"I don't really, but it won't be much longer before I start to show." She held a hand to her stomach. "A shirt can only hide so much for so long."
"How much longer do you think you'll have?" He put his hand on top of hers.
Petra thought for a moment before answering, trying to remember what she read in the pregnancy books she found. "Maybe another month… Maybe another week with Hanji. She's already asked me if something was up." She laughed lightly thinking about telling Hanji.
Levi scowled at this response. "I see. I'll tell… Eld, Gunther, and Oluo. I'll mail in a letter to Erwin about a possible leave or staying on the squad with lighter weight gear."
"What about Eren?" Petra tilted her head and played with some of her hair, stopping when she saw Levi glare at her.
"Eren? I don't really think that Titan brat deserves to know what's going on with us. We barely know him." He scoffed and laid back down on the bed, staring up at the ceiling.
"Hmm, ok, I'll tell Eren and Hanji then." Levi groans at that, if it were up to him, no one would know that they were expecting a baby.
"Are you sure you want Eren to know?" He raised a hand to Petra's face and slowly pulled her closer as if to persuade her away from telling Eren at least.
"He's proved himself enough Levi." She leaned forward and kissed his forehead, moving some hair out of his eyes. Levi gave another dissatisfied grumble to Petra who just shrugged it off.
"Heichou!?" It was Eren outside the door, banging on it quite hard. "Have you seen Petra!? We can't find her anywhere!"
"I haven't seen her Eren. Why don't you go check the kitchen?" He sat up on the edge of the bed.
"We already did sir!" He yelled through the door again.
"Well go check again!" Levi shouted, getting quite angry at Eren.
"Yes sir!" He saluted from behind the door even though he knew Levi couldn't see him, he was just trying to make a habit out of it.
Petra crawled over to the side of the bed Levi was on and stretched her arms out. "Looks like I better leave before the whole squad thinks I've been eaten by a titan."
"You will come back tonight." He said as more of an order than a question.
"Of course corporal!" She held her hand to the chest and grabbed her uniform before running out to the woman's lavatory, careful not to be seen.
"There you are! Everyone was looking for you! Where were you!?" Hanji was washing her face in the bathroom when Petra ran in.
"Oh, I was just in the kitchen getting an early morning snack." She slid her uniform jacket on and brushed out her hair.
"Mmm-hmmm." Hanji smirked and Petra took note.
"What?"
"And was this snack called Captain Levi?" Hanji smiled widely and gave a closed mouth laugh at Petra's face.
"Hanji!" Petra screamed, clenching her fists.
Hanji shrugged and put a hand on Petra's shoulder. "What? You're acting like it's not obvious."
"It-It's not supposed to be?" Petra wrapped her arms around herself. If Hanji already knew, then everyone else on the squad probably did too.
"Hm, well lucky for you the rest of the squad seems pretty much clueless and it just so happens that I'm great at keeping secrets." She fixed her glasses at the bridge of her nose and headed out to the kitchen, Petra tagging behind.
"H-Hanji? Can I tell you something?" Petra said nervously, folding her hands together in her lap.
"Sure, it can't be any worse than you and Levi." She continued to eat her breakfast, putting her chin in her palm.
"Yes, well, um. You see, me and Captain Levi are um. We are… Pregnant." Petra winced at what she said and from expecting Hanji to burst out screaming.
Instead, Hanji burst out laughing, almost falling back on the floor in her seat. "Of course you two are!" She barely said between laughs.
"No really we are!" Petra stood up in her chair but Hanji just continued to laugh.
"Right Petra, right! And so am I."She wiped her eyes that were filling with tears from all of the laughter.
"Hanji!" Petra screamed again but fell back in her chair when she realized it was fleeting to keep trying.
"She's not lying."
"C-Captain Levi!?" Hanji straitened up and looked towards Petra, then back at Levi. "But Sir. You don't joke!"
"I know." He glared at Hanji.
"B-But then." Hanji paused and looked back and forth at Levi and popped one of her famous grins that she got. "Petra! You're pregnant! The offspring of two of mankind's greatest titan killer…! Can I study it?"
"No!" Petra and Levi both yelled.
"Alright. But can I at least get the title of Aunt Hanji?" She tilted her head down so the light reflected her glasses in a way where no one could see her eyes.
"Yes-." Petra said.
"No!" Levi said.
Petra looked at Levi standing in the kitchen door way and Levi looked back, shaking his head "no".
"I heard a yes!" Hanji shoved herself away from the chair and tried to run out but was halted by Petra.
"Hanji wait." She stood.
"What!? I want to go spread the wonderful news with everyone else!"Hanji tried to run out again, however Levi was in her way.
"No. You can't, not yet at least." She dragged her hand on the wooden table next to her.
"Oh come on!" Hanji put a hand on her hip.
Levi rolled his eyes and kept his indigenous frown on Hanji.
"Just, keep your mouth shut for now Hanji." Petra swayed from side to side slightly.
"Fine…" She clenched her fists, dying to tell other people but decided to get her mind off of telling other people by talking to Petra about everything that was going on with her. "How far along are you?!"
"Don't be so loud!"
"Ok, ok. So how far?" Hanji asked eagerly.
Petra shrunk down a little in her seat when she saw and un-amused walk out. "Around three months."
"Three months, interesting! So have you felt it move yet!?" She squirmed around in her seat excitedly.
"N-no. Not yet." She looked down at her stomach.
"But you will." Hanji laughed slightly.
"I'm sure of it." Petra gets up to get away from Hanji's bombard of questions and heads out to find Levi.
"Tell me when it moves! I've never gotten to observe pregnancy before!" Hanji yelled out before Petra vanished from her sight as she turned the corner.
"Alright Hanji." Petra waved back.
Levi didn't look up from his paper work when Petra came in. "How was Hanji?"
"Questioning." She came over to Levi who was at his desk and fell on his back, exhausted.
"Petra, get off me, I'm trying to work." Levi shrugs her off and she lazily strides over to her lover's bed where she fell down and almost fell asleep immediately.
"Heichou! I finished cleaning the attack again…! Petra?" Eren ran in and saw Petra on the bed.
"Eren! Um, why don't you go talk to Auruo?" Petra perked up at hearing Eren and quickly made sure to say something before Levi could literally kick him out.
"But why are you in Captain Levi's b-?"
"That's an order Eren." Levi mumbled as he signed off another sheet of work.
"Uh, yes Heichou!"Eren saluted and ran off.
"You should have shut the door." Levi paused his work to look back at Petra and go shut and lock the door.
"Uh-hu." She said groggily.
It didn't take long for Petra to fall asleep. The soft bed beneath her, the sun shining through the window, heating up her skin. It was some of the best sleep she'd had in months.
Petra slowly was dragged away from the dream world when she felt soft kissing on her cheek and jaw. "Levi…" She effortlessly rolled over.
"Wake up Petra, it's time for dinner, you already skipped lunch." He gently shook her by the shoulders.
"But I've only been sleeping for an hour." She yawned and then saw the darkness seeping through the window. "Huh, ah! I slept all day?! Levi!? Why didn't you wake me up!?"
"You looked really tired and I figured you needed the rest. You've been pushing yourself too much lately." He gently pulled her off the bed by her arm.
"Levi, I'm fine, you should've woke me up." She grabbed onto his torso when she lost her balance for a brief second.
"Just come down to dinner." He kissed her forehead and Petra shoved her boots back on and ran for the door; she was starving.
"Alright corporal."
"I thought I told you it's just Levi when it's just the two of us."
"Alright Levi." She shook her head and continued out the door when she realized Levi wasn't following her. "Aren't you coming?" She stuck her head back in.
"I'll be down in a minute. I have to finish this one last thing." He wrote a few things down a sheet of paper, probably the letter to Erwin.
"Ok." She swiftly made her way down to where her comrades were eating. When she came down she sat next to the only free seat, besides the one at the head of the table saved for Levi.
Unfortunately for her, she sat right next to Hanji. "Petra! Where's L-!?" Hanji's voice turned into a scream at the end when Petra stomped on her foot under the table and everyone gave Hanji a look saying 'what's wrong with you?'
A few seconds later Levi walked in and Eren stood from his chair. "Corporal Levi! The attack was re-cleaned because of my un-sufficient job before!"
"I'll check your work after dinner." Levi sat down and began to eat.
Dinner was pleasant. Auruo and Eld were laughing at Oluo who kept trying to imitate Levi in every way. Every now and then Eren would try and pass a joke, only to receive a judgmental glare from Levi, silencing any laughter that might have been attempted by anyone else. The only thing was that Hanji kept giving Petra and Levi little looks and Petra could tell Levi was about to flip out on her.
"Alright everyone, we're waking up extra early tomorrow to go on an expedition. Get your rest and report in front of the horse stable at sunrise." Levi ordered and stood up, walking away to his dorm. Everyone else quickly finished their food and the crowd quickly dispersed.
Petra sat awake in bed and waited an hour to make the short trip to Levi's room. "Corporal?" Levi raised his head and eyed Petra for calling him corporal. "Levi?"
"I thought you would have been here sooner." He set down something he was working on and got up to face her.
"I wanted to wait longer to make sure Hanji wasn't waiting for me to sneak out or something like that." She tugged at her hair and smiled when Levi wrapped a hand around her waist.
"Come on. Let's go to bed." He lifted up the sheets and Petra crawled in, Levi right behind her.
Levi slips off his shirt and gratefully accepts Petra snuggling up against him. Petra quickly falls asleep without much hassle; however Levi was still wide awake. Probably nervous about the expedition in the morning. But he doesn't get nervous, he's the greatest titan slayer mankind has ever seen. So why can't he seem to sleep?
Petra sighed softly in her sleep and rolled around so her back was facing her lover now. Levi's hand was now on Petra's swollen belly and Levi's eyes started to become slightly heavy. Levi buried his face in Petra's blonde hair and took in her sweet sent. Once again he broke his usual stoic face and his lips slowly curled up into a faint smile.
A/n: So I started watching Attack on Titan and finished the season in like three days. Soon after I discovered I was an insane Rivetra shipper. So ya, it was only a matter of time. Sorry I haven't been on much, I've had some family stuff going on that I had to deal with first before getting back on the computer. I'll try to get some more stuff done, hopefully I'll be able to make time for it. School is a pain XP. Ok, so please review and thanks for reading anyone who also loves this ship.
