November 16th, Year 868
After the hole in Shiganshina was plugged up, all the titans inside Wall Maria were taken down. With the land reclaimed, everything slowly returned to how it was before the last Colossal Titan broke the gate. Food was no longer scarce for there was now room for farm lands and to raise life stock.
However, during the titan clean up period something happened. Eren was unable to use the power of the coordinate. It had come to the conclusion that the power was transferred to someone else. The scout regiment knew to who exactly because to certain events. But this person is missing, so once all the titans within Wall Maria were gone the scouts new mission was to find them. It was decided that the information of Eren not having the power anymore and that someone else was the coordinate titan would stay inside the scouts knowledge. Some how, though, it was leaked. Now the military police know, they don't know who it is but they know. During this time, Hange had discovered a way to stop the Ymir curse. It was called the anti-curse vaccine. Without it, Eren would have died nine years ago; and Armin last year.
And now here we are, having a meeting on funds. Commander Hange as well as the Levi squad are asking for the things needed for the next expedition beyond the walls. But the military police is interfering. "And why would the people pay in taxes for something that will just fail in the end?" Said Nile Dok, commander of the military police.
"Because this one is different!" Hange yelled.
"How is this different from the other search parties?" Said Commander-in-Chief Darius Zackly.
"Because this one will be the last." Levi added in.
"Are you sure about that?"
"Positive, sir." Mikasa started talking. "We have to find the coordinate in this expedition, or it will be too late."
"Before the current coordinate dies and the power goes to someone else, am I correct?"
"Yes!"
"Then why not just tell the military police the identity of the coordinate titan." Nile stepped back in.
"Because we know what you in the military police wants to do once you have them." Armin came into the conversation. "You would kill them just to give the power to Historia, so it would be back in the power of the Reiss family."
"And what's wrong with that. The power could be used at it's fullest if we do that."
"But that's inhumane!" Sasha screamed.
"But it would be for the good of our people."
"We won't be handing them over." Levi butts in.
"And why not?"
"Because they don't belong to you. They belong in the scouts."
"What makes you think the coordinate titan belongs in the scouts!"
"That is enough." Zackly stops the agruing. "If you say that this will be the last expedition to find the coordinate, then I will grant the request. This expedition will take place on the thirtieth."
"No, it will be too late." Eren said. "It has to be before the twenty third."
"Okay, it will be on the twenty second then. However, if you fail you will give the information on the coordinate titan's identity to the military police."
"We will not fail. I'm willing to bet my life that we will find them."
"So you agree to the terms?"
"Yes, sir."
"Then we don't have anything else to discuss now. You're all dismissed." And with that, everyone left the meeting room.
"Eren, you do realize what's at stake here, right?" Levi said to Eren as they all walk down the hall.
"Yes, but this will be the expedition where we find her. It has to be!"
"You sure we will, though." Armin said with uncertainty in his eyes.
"Armin, I promised you that I would bring her back. And I don't intend to break that promise. I'd rather die an do that."
"I know that, Eren. You don't have to keep telling me that." 'I don't just remember you making that promise to me.' Armin thought to himself. 'I remember it all as if it were yesterday.'
March 8th, Year 855
It was an ordinary day, the sun was up and shinning. But something that wasn't normal happened. Armin had woken up seeing Eren across the room. The two shared a room in the cellar once Armin became the colossal titan. But what Armin felt as he opened his eyes was a strong feeling of nausea. This feeling was strong enough for Armin to jump out of bed and throw up in the waste basket of that room. The noise woke Eren up. He was not pleased seeing the blond like this. "Armin, you okay?"
"Yeah, I'll be fine. You just go to the cafeteria without me."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes."
Eren left the room and meets up with Sasha, Mikasa, Conny, and Jean. "Hey, Eren!" Sasha greeted Eren.
"Where's Armin?" Conny asked.
"Don't tell us he's sick again." Jean said.
"Yes, he is." Eren said.
"This has been going on for a week now, right?" Mikasa asked.
"Yeah, he's been trying to hide it but it's obvious."
"Good morning, everyone." Armin said as he walked into the room.
"You feeling alright, man?" Conny asked him.
"I'm fine."
"Don't lie to us." Jean said. "Eren told us that you're sick."
"No, I'm not."
"Armin, you've been throwing up everyday this week." Eren said to him. "And you have a headache right now, don't you."
"I do, but that doesn't-"
"You been getting dizzy during training." Mikasa interrupted him. "You even almost fainted once."
"And not to mention you've been tired lately." Conny added in.
"We're all worried about you."
"I'm sure it's just me getting use to the power of the titans, I'll be fine."
"It's not." Eren said . "I wasn't like this when I got it." Eren placed a hand on Armin's shoulder. "Please go see Hange and get checked out."
Armin sighed. "Alright, you win. I'll go see Hange now." Then Armin left the group and went to Hange's office. "Hange, are you in here?"
"Oh! Good morning, Armin." Hange greeted Armin when she noticed he came in. "What brings you here?"
"Well... I haven't been feeling very good the past week. And everyone wanted it to be checked out to be sure it isn't anything to be worry about."
"I see. Okay, sit down and tell me what your symptoms are."
"I've been feeling nausea, I actually throw up every morning. I've been tired and having some bad headaches. I also get dizzy whenever I train. But that's all."
After Armin listed all his symptoms to Hange, you should tell just from looking at her that the gears in her head are turning. "Armin, I'm going to ask you so questions that maybe personal. But you have to be honest with me."
"Uh... Okay."
"Are you sexually active?"
Armin's face turned bright red, but he answered. "Y-Yes."
"Are you heterosexual or homosexual?"
"Homosexual."
"Are you top or bottom?"
"B-Bottom."
"When was the last time you had sex?"
"The eleventh of February."
"Okay, that's all my questions. Now to do a quick examination. I'm gonna need you to take off your jacket and shirt for this."
"Okay." Armin did as he was told while Hange pulled out a stethoscope. She place it on Armin's chest so she could hear his heart beat. She moved it from the left side to the center for her to hear Armin's breathing. "Alright, now take a deep breath." Armin did so, and Hange listened. Then she moved it again from the chest to the stomach, Her eyes widen a bit at what she heard. "Okay Armin, you can put your shirt and jacket back on now." As he did, Hange was reading over the papers she was looking at before Armin came in one last time. "This conforms it."
"Hange, what is it? What's going on with me?"
Armin was expecting bad news, but what he wasn't expecting was Hange to say this. "Congratulations, Armin. You're pregnant."
