Author's Note: Oh my God guys, its finally here! The final arc! I can't believe how far this fanfic and audiobook has come! Enjoy! This is also the beginning of Carly's arc. ALSO, I heavily based Carly's classmates, Nathan and Emily, off of Nathan Prescott from Life is Strange, and Anne from Persona 5
It was early in the morning, only about 6 AM. But Eren and Mikasa's house was very lively and awake. The lights were on, and the smell of breakfast filled the kitchen. It was also a very sunny Spring day, the birds singing and the breeze felt great.
Mikasa even had the kitchen window open to enjoy the cool breeze, as she cooked breakfast over the stove. Eren set the table.
He smiled, setting five plates and glasses on the table. Mittens was eating her wet food on the counter, while Titan was eating his dog food on the floor in his dish.
Eren filled some of the glasses with orange juice, and some with milk, depending on what each member of the family wanted.
There were also two bowls ready for cereal. Eren poured Lucky charms into one, and Coco puffs in the other.
"Breakfast almost ready, angel?", Eren asked his wife. "Yeah, you better call them down Eren", Mikasa replied, smiling.
Eren smiled. "Kids! Breakfast!", he yelled up the staircase. "Coming!", Akane's voice was hearing, and seconds later she and Makoto came running down the stairs.
"Akane! Would you give it back already?!", Makoto yelled, as he chased his little sister into the kitchen and around the table.
"Never!", Akane said back, holding a Pokemon figure, it was of a Latios. "Hey, hey! Akane!", Eren caught his daughter, as she giggled.
"Daddy! Put me down!", she laughed. "Akane, give Makoto his toy back missy", Eren said firmly. Akane sulked a little bit, but then she gave it back.
"Thank you", Makoto said, holding it close as he sat at the table. "Akane, you know better sweetheart", Mikasa stated, coming over. "I know, I'm sorry mommy...Daddy, I didn't mean it", Akane replied softly.
She had become a true daddy's girl, clinging to Eren tightly. "My god she's so you", Eren chuckled, cuddling his daughter close as Mikasa laughed softly.
Akane was already six years old, and she truly looked identical to her mother. A mini Mikasa, in both looks and her attachment to Eren.
It was scary how much Akane looked like Mikasa and Mikasa's mother. Makoto was already 10 years old, and looked a lot like Mikasa too.
Except he had his father's green eyes. After all this time, Makoto still had breathing issues, but they were a lot more mild now.
Eren and Mikasa were 35 years old now, and hadn't changed much in appearance at all. Mikasa kept her hair the same in these passed six years, plus Eren looked the same too.
Perhaps the only difference is Mikasa's scar was slightly more faded.
"Where's your sister, buddy?", Mikasa asked then, noticing Carly's absence. "She's still getting ready upstairs", Makoto shrugged, as he began eating his cereal.
"Really..", Mikasa frowned worriedly, already knowing why. "Eren, can you get breakfast on the table?", she asked then.
"Sure baby", Eren kissed his wife's scar, before bringing bacon, eggs and french toast to the table for everyone.
Titan sat at Makoto's side, while Mittens washed herself. Akane began eating her cereal after Eren set her down, while Mikasa went upstairs.
Mikasa knocked on her older daughter's door. "Carly? Sweetie can I come in?", she asked, always respecting her daughter's privacy.
After all...Carly was 15 years old now. A teenager, much to Eren's dismay. It really was mind numbing for both parents...how their daughter was already 15 years old.
That was the age Eren and Mikasa started dating.
"Yeah mom...", Carly answered, she sounded annoyed, even a bit embarrassed. Mikasa's eyes softened, knowing what it was about.
She gently entered, to see Carly was struggling with her bra. She was wearing her school uniform skit, but didn't have the top on yet, as she kept adjusting her already D cup breasts in her bra.
"Another growth spurt, honey?", asked Mikasa softly, coming over to help. "Yeah...mom, did yours get this huge when you were my age?", asked Carly, blushing, embarrassed as Mikasa attempted to adjust the straps.
"I didn't reach a D until I was pregnant with you sweetheart, but it's okay. We'll go shopping for bigger bras after school", Mikasa smiled softly.
"This one feels so tight...and it's my first day of high school..", Carly said, very nervous. "Oh angel..I know. Listen, if it will feel more comfortable you could wear one of my bras", Mikasa offered.
"Really? Is that okay mom?", asked Carly. "Of course sweetie, I want you to be comfortable, your phone's charged right?", asked Mikasa, as Carly gladly removed her bra, practically suffocating in it.
"Yeah it is", replied Carly, as Mikasa brought one of her bras in. Carly had very long brown hair, and her eyes were identical to Mikasa's.
She was also almost as tall as her mother, and...to say the least, was extremely attractive. She was a good weight, and had fairly long legs. She could possibly grow to be a model as an adult.
But most amazing, is Carly had her mother's beautiful singing voice. Her voice sounded a lot like her mother's too.
"Mom...were you this nervous on your first day of high school?", asked Carly, as she put the more fitting bra on, and slipped into her top.
"Not really, but I had your dad", Mikasa smiled softly. "You were lucky mom, you had dad with you through all grades, even college! What if...", Carly looked down then. Mikasa blinked, worried.
"What if..no one likes me? At school I mean...", Carly wondered. Mikasa's eyes softened, gently rubbing her daughter's shoulder.
"Hey, don't you worry sweetheart. You'll meet people who will like you. They'd have to be crazy not to. And..who knows, maybe you'll meet a cute boy", Mikasa teased then.
Carly turned red. "Mooommm! Stop!", she cried embarrassed, only turning redder. "Just don't tell your father if you do meet someone..not right away anyway", Mikasa laughed.
Carly smiled, laughing too. They had a very tight relationship, despite being mother and daughter, they acted like sisters more, the older Carly got.
Once they came downstairs, the kids finished their breakfast. "Here's your lunches you two", Mikasa smiled, handing the wrapped bentos to Carly and Makoto.
"Thanks mom!", Carly smiled. "Makoto, sweetie you got your inhaler?", asked Mikasa worriedly then. Makoto held it up, smiling.
"Yep! Don't worry mom!", he replied. "Okay, have a great day you two!", Mikasa smiled, as the kids ran outside, hurrying down the road with Titan.
"We'll see you at three!", Eren waved as well. Akane came over, also waving. "Okay, let's drive Akane to school", Mikasa smiled.
"It's Carly's first day of high school, Mika...you think she'll be okay?", asked Eren worriedly. "She'll be okay Eren, she's our daughter, remember?", Mikasa assured her husband.
She got her red scarf on, as they drove Akane to school. Akane was in first grade, while Makoto was in 4th grade.
Carly had just started 10th grade. The elementary school came before the high school, so Carly would drop Makoto off and pick him up.
Farlen was just started 12th grade, and was already 17 years old. He was taller than his dad and really took after his mother in kindness and stubborness.
Levi couldn't be prouder. Alex had started 3rd grade, being 8 years old.
Grisha and Carla had since moved to a smaller home in the neighborhood after the fire. Carla was in a wheelchair since her legs never worked again after what happened.
There was still no evidence found to arrest Reiner, Betolt or Annie.
He and Farlen joined Carly and Makoto on the walk to school.
"Makoto! I got a new game!", Alex grinned excited, as he and Farlen caught up with Makoto and Carly. "Yeah, which one?", asked Makoto.
"It's a Pirates of the Caribbean game, for the Playstation! It's awesome!", Alex replied excitedly. "That's cool! I finally caught Zekrom on my Pokemon game", Makoto grinned, proudly.
"Hey Carly, nervous?", asked Farlen as he walked next to her, noticeable taller than her. Carly shrugged. "A bit...", she admitted.
"Look, whatever you do, don't stand out. Don't act like you're a new student...just try and blend in", Farlen advised her.
"I've been telling myself that for weeks now, Farlen", Carly admitted, taking a deep breath.
"You know considering your parents are driving Akane to school anyway, why didn't you and Makoto just ride with them?", Farlen asked then.
"You literally just said I can't act like a new kid...you realize how it would look when all the other high schoolers walk there, and my parents drop me off like its preschool?", Carly pointed out, frowning.
"Okay, okay good point...but what about Makoto?", asked Farlen. "Oh, well mom and dad think the fresh air is something Makoto needs for his lungs, Auntie Rubi agrees", Carly explained.
"Sis, quit talking about me like I'm not here!", Makoto complained, as he and Alex traded Pokemon cards.
"Oh hush up, I'm your big sister, I can talk about what I want", Carly teased. Makoto frowned a bit.
Once the kids were all at school, Eren had to go to work while Mikasa relaxed in the living room with Mittens after getting the chores done.
She propped her back on pillows, and placed an ice pack over her ribs. Her pain medicine was still working, but Rubi advised to use one once in a while.
Mittens curled up in Mikasa's lap, falling asleep. Mikasa smiled softly, as she petted the purring cat before writing an email up on her laptop.
She had been sending emails to the orphanage to each of the kids, plus went back to visiting every few months. Now that her children were a bit older, she had the time.
While Rubi worked at the hospital, Armin got writing done at home. Because both Eren and Rubi worked, around early afternoon Mikasa and Armin would go to Levi's teashop for a drink to enjoy each other's company.
At the high school, Carly was waiting out in the hall for the teacher to call her. She felt very nervous, biting her lip and tapping her foot.
"Okay kids we have a new student! Please be nice to her, you can come in", the teacher said then. Carly took a deep breath, she came into the classroom.
"Please introduce yourself", the teacher said.
"Hello...my name is Carla Petra Jaeger. But my nickname is Carly, since I'm named after my grandmother", Carly introduced herself.
"You can sit by Emily", the teacher gestured to a girl with long blonde hair. Carly nodded, as she sat down.
"Hey, you're a first year too?", asked Emily curiously, she seemed very nice. "Yeah...you too?", asked Carly.
"Yep! We're sitting next to each other, so we should get along. If you want you could have lunch with me", Emily offered.
Carly blinked. "I'd like that", she smiled. She then looked to her left to see a few desks down was a boy. She felt color reach her cheeks.
He had dark brown hair and brown eyes, a bit of a rebellious expression on his face. Emily giggled. "Nathan's a real hottie, but he seems stuck up...don't get too attached", she advised Carly.
Carly didn't hear Emily, completely smitten, stars practically in her eyes. She blushed more, not able to take her eyes off him.
Nathan glanced over at her, making Carly's heart jump. She panicked and quickly turned back to her desk.
Over at the elementary school, Makoto and Alex were passing notes in class. Makoto grinned, writing his note out. Titan was sitting by his desk, a red Service dog vest on his body, attached to the harness.
It had words saying "DO NOT PET, I'M WORKING!" on it along with a stop sign. As an adult service dog, the Akita was able to detect whenever Makoto was about to have a breathing attack.
Makoto passed his note to Alex, talking about video games. "Makoto, Alex!", the teacher noticed then. "Yes ma'am?", asked Makoto, freezing.
"What did I tell you two about passing notes?", she asked. "We weren't doing that ma'am!", Alex lied, more bold than Makoto.
"Makoto", the teacher looked down at him sternly. Makoto avoided eye contact...he was too much like his mother. "Um..well..", he started. Alex groaned.
"You're such an awful liar, Makoto!", he whined. "Both of you knock it off", the teacher said firmly.
Just a floor beneath the boys, Akane was in her class enjoying painting with her friends. "What did you paint, sweetie?", the teacher asked Akane.
"It's a family portrait ma'am! There's mommy, daddy, big sis, big brother, Titan and Mittens! And over here is Uncle Armin, Auntie Rubi, Cousin Alex, and my grandparents", Akane showed the big painting.
"I see! You have such a big family honey", the teacher smiled. "It's not finished though, I want to add mommy's uncle Levi, Farlen, Hanji, and Hook and Cheeto", Akane admitted.
"Hook and Cheeto?", the teacher blinked. "They're my uncle and auntie's pets! A dog and a cat!", replied Akane smiling.
"I see, so you're not painting Scooby doo for a change", the teacher chuckled.
Currently, Carly's favorite fictional thing was anime, especially Sailor Moon, while Makoto's was Godzilla. Akane currently loved Scooby doo. She even had a Scooby doo plush, and backpack for school.
She even had Scooby bedsheets, and the cartoons on DVD. Carly never quite grew out of MLP and still collected stuff for it, while Makoto seemed to grow out of care bears for the most part.
Although he never got rid of his Bedtime bear plush. Now he currently had a Godzilla poster in his room, while Carly had a Sailor moon poster and a Your Lie in April poster.
Akane of course had a Scooby poster in her room.
Back at the high school, Carly was eating lunch in the courtyard with Emily. "Wow, your mom made this? Carly that's amazing!" Emily beamed.
Carly smiled. "Thanks, mom's always been an amazing cook. And so is my Auntie", she replied.
"My mom is too busy at work to cook, so I just buy lunch", Emily shrugged. Carly blinked then, and her heart suddenly felt like it stopped.
Nathan and some other boys walked over, with their own lunches. "Hey...Carly, right? New girl?", Nathan asked.
"Um...yes...! That's right...", replied Carly, very red in the face as Emily rolled her eyes. "Mind if we join you?", asked Nathan.
"Um..not at all", Carly scooted, as Nathan sat next to her. "So we all got free period after school, you girls wanna come hang with us on the roof?", he asked.
Carly was blushing a lot, hearts in her eyes practically as Emily hesitated. "I'm gonna pass Nathan, I really want to study in the library. Carly, you wanna come?", asked Emily.
She could feel Nathan's eyes on her breasts, but Carly was too smitten to notice her new friend being uncomfortable.
"Actually...I'll hang out with Nathan...sorry Emily", Carly replied. "It's okay...just don't be late for class. Our teacher will have a fit", Emily got up.
"We won't keep her too long, don't worry Emily. You're so uptight", Nathan scoffed. "Yeah, I'm not a carefree delinquent like you", Emily rolled her eyes, she playfully hit his head, but then froze feeling the back of his hand caress her ankle.
Carly didn't notice, as she packed up her leftovers.
After she followed Nathan and the guys up to the roof, they started small talk. "So I heard your dad is a big time video game designer, that's pretty sweet", Nathan commented.
"Yeah, he enjoys his work alot", Carly smiled. "And your mom, isn't she like really hot?", his friend asked. Carly looked a bit embarrassed and taken aback at the question.
"Well..my mom is very beautiful, yes", she answered. "Beautiful? She's a knockout! If she was a student here I'd totally go out with her!", his friend continued, making Carly a bit uncomfortable.
"Don't mind him, Carly. We're just playing, I mean we all got our types. You must like some older guys" Nathan said.
"Oh well...I do have a crush on the main character from the Persona 5 games...", confessed Carly, blushing a bit.
"Those are pretty cool games", Nathan's friend said. "Well like you said, her mom's hot but...I find her to be more my type", Nathan flirted with Carly then, he pressed his hand to the wall above her shoulder, close to her.
Carly turned bright red, her heart jumped, gazing into his eyes. Nathan's friend grinned and left them alone.
"Nathan...I...", Carly began, blushing when Nathan suddenly kissed her. Carly's eyes widened in surprise...this felt very fast. But...she returned the kiss...her very first kiss.
Nathan deepened the kiss, and wrapped his arms around her. Carly actually moaned softly into his mouth, closing her eyes.
She...wanted to push him off since this felt much too fast. But..she was 15 years old, and her sexual urges were quite strong. Her teenage hormones...it really made her downright horny often.
She even had started masturbating only a year ago...and of course eventually she and Mikasa had a talk about it so Carly didn't feel uncomfortable.
Carly froze then, her body tensing as she felt him cup her breast then, over her top. Carly attempted to push him off.
"Nathan...wait...", she began. "Trust me baby..it will feel good...", Nathan growled, he forcefully pushed her onto the ground, on top of her.
Carly's breathing grew heavy...as she let him continue. He was taking advantage of her teenage hormones, and not in a good way.
After making out for several minutes, he reached his hand down her legs, and was about to slip it under her skirt...to between her legs.
Carly's eyes opened then...now she was getting afraid. "Nathan...STOP!", she yelled, as she managed to force him off.
"Sorry Carly...I got excited. You're just so beautiful", Nathan admitted. Carly caught her breath, fixing her hair.
She turned red at his words. "No...I'm sorry I just...", she bit her lip. "It's cool, that was a bit fast...", Nathan said,
Carly got out of school first out of the three kids by 3, she walked home and entered the house silently.
She sighed dreamily, still very red in the face. Her heart was beating so fast from the kiss...and even the make out session.
Despite him being a bit pushy, she...was in love with him. "Carly?", Eren blinked, having heard the front door open.
"Honey, you okay? How was your first day?", asked Mikasa. "Uh huh...", Carly answered, totally in her own world.
She walked upstairs, as Eren blinked. Mikasa's eyes widened then. "Ohhhhhh! Ohhh Eren...I know that look...she...I think she met a boy...", she realized, clasping her hands over her mouth, wearing her red scarf.
"What...", Eren's glare turned deadly then. "Eren! Let me talk to her! She's a teenager, she needs her privacy after all..", Mikasa told him firmly.
"I'll go pick Makoto and Akane up then", Eren sighed, grumbling. "Eren..", Mikasa gently took his hands then. Eren looked at his wife.
"Eren, we knew this was going to happen sooner or later. Please...Carly clearly is smitten here. So please don't...do or say anything to make her uncomfortable. We already gave her a stern talk about sex, STDs, teen pregnancy and all that", Mikasa told him.
"I know, I know, I won't but...this boy..whoever he is...better be treating her right", Eren growled, protectively. "Or I'll knock the rat bastard into next week...", he growled dangerously.
Mikasa looked at her husband blankly, and then giggled. "What, Mika?", asked Eren. "Nothing just...you really are cute when you become protective daddy...", Mikasa confessed, blushing.
Eren blushed, smiling. After Eren left to pick up the younger kids, Mikasa went upstairs.
"Carly? Sweetie can I come in?", asked Mikasa, knocking on the door. "Yea", Carly answered simply, sounding dazed.
Mikasa entered the room, and she froze...having to smile. Carly was laying on her back in bed, completely smitten. She had such a dreamy look on her face, very red.
Mikasa saw a reflection of her own 15 year old self in her daughter, back when she and Eren were dating.
"So...a cute boy?", Mikasa guessed, sitting on the bed. "Mooomm!", Carly whined, embarrassed, grabbing a pillow and hiding her face.
"He must be really something to get you so flushed, sweetie", Mikasa admitted. "He really is...plus we kissed", Carly confessed, as she sat up.
Mikasa looked surprised. "Whoa...already? That's a bit fast sweetheart...what's his name?", asked Mikasa, feeling protective now herself.
"Nathan...and he's amazing. He's in my class", replied Carly, running a hand through her long hair. Mikasa ran a hand through her short hair, the two very alike.
"He didn't force you into anything, right angel?", Mikasa asked then, her voice lowering. Carly bit her lip. She remembered him groping her breast, and nearly going even further.
But she put on a damn good poker face. "No, he was very gentle...", she lied...her very first lie to her mother.
Mikasa's eyes darkened then, and...despite her daughter being a damn good liar...mother always knew. And Mikasa could tell Carly wasn't being completely honest.
