Hey guys, I'm back.

Sorry I took ages to update, I lost my note on pregnancy symptoms and why kinds of change both the mother and fetus go through and I had to redo that. I worked on my other fics since I had pre witten material on those already.

I'm making Levi taller and Eren shorter. In other words, Levi with now be 5'7 and Eren 5'3. Juniors in this story are Eren, Isabel, Farlan, Jean, Annie, Connie, Krista, and Armin. Seniors are Levi, Mikasa, Marco, Erd, Hanji, Petra, Bertolt, Reiner, Ymir, Gunther, Sasha, and Olou.

Besos.

Chapter 4

6 1/2 Weeks

Friday

The pregnant, pretty eyed teen and her family step out of her boyfriend's car to start a new school day. Erwin had excused her for missing the previous day but he told her that this would be the only time he would allow her to miss without a doctor excuse and with it being the last day before Winter break she needed to pick up her assignments for the break. Fuck you, Captain Eyebrows. Levi and she walked hand in hand towards the school, ignoring the stares some of the students were giving them, but she had to remain calm. Nana had scolded her about her blood pressure being too high and ordered her to avoid any stressful situation. She didn't answer her friends last night or the night before but Hanji told her that she needed to tell them herself and not let them find out by others, and she was going to do it – bless her heart (sarcasm implied).

Walking into the school, she led Levi, Farlan, and Isabel towards the school library where her friends usually hang out to get last minute help on homework. Nearing the crowded commons area, she began to regret this, this through the glass wall. Behind a few rows of two shelf bookshelves at a one of the three big round tables she saw a familiar shade of golden blonde that belongs to her closest friend. Taking a deep breath proceeds forward weaving her way through the sea of bodies. Levi keeps her close so she won't get hurt by accident.

Entering the semi-vacant Library, she hesitantly made her way to her friends. She released Levi's hand and buttoned up the black winter coat she borrowed from Isabel. You still couldn't see, but she was beginning to feel extremely pregnant but that was to the blotting what was just being since she was a few days away from her seventh week. What do I say? What will they say? Will they judge me? Are the angry?

"Eren?" she hear Marco's voice with excitement. She turned around and sure enough her talk freckled friends was standing before her with a textbook in her. She felt like if she was at mass by how all her friends literally sang her name in unison – from Krista's angelically sweet voice to Reiner's baritone voice. She froze, they didn't sound disappointed like she thought, on the contrary, they sounded relived.

"Hey, guys," she said in timid voice and offered a small wave, "How are you guys?"

They didn't answer. They tackled her in a group hug.

"Oi, get off," growled Levi. He was standing behind his girlfriend when she was hugged and when the first body hit her she was pushed back into Levi's chest.

"Ow," she hissed in pain. Levi yanked away the arms that were around her and checked her.

"Are you okay?" he asked her as he cupped her face – his eyes showed her how worried he was.

"I'm fine," she sighed, "My boobs are just sore," she informed as she crossed her hands over her breasts to infancies her point. She was already was close to being midway through her first trimmest and her seven week symptoms were beginning to show.

"Oh, Eren," began the short blonde friend, "I'm sorry, I mean to hurt you," he apologized to her as she looked at him.

"It's okay, Armin, it's a pregnancy thing," she rolled her eyes, fiddling with Levi's fingers. She was thinking on completely avoiding telling her friends everything.

"So, it's true?" scuffed Jean, angrily crossing his arms over his chest and looking way. He was angry but not because he was into her, no, but because he was gay, in a secret relationship with his 'best friends', and just like her parents, his were trying to marry him to Eren. He was secretly in love with his best friend and he knew she would help him out – he won't say it out loud, though.

"Yes," she nodded before looking away from him, "It's true, I am pregnant and Levi is my fiancée and the father." She interlocked her fingers with Levi, "I'm sorry I didn't tell you guys, but I had my reasons." She introduced Levi, Isabel, and Farlan to her friends and invited them to sit down. Mikasa was hesitant to allow Levi sit next to her sister so moved Armin so that Eren would be in the in between the two and away from her boyfriend. Said teen wasn't having that, she sat on Levi's lap next to Isabel and Farlan. She felt Mikasa's eyes on her as they continued to study. Armin handed over his psychology notes to Levi and Eren, Isabel began to joke with Connie and Sasha, and Marco was helping Farlan with his Algebra 2 assignment.

"Hey, guys," shouted Hanji as she, Erd, Oulo, Moblit, and Gunther neared the table they were located at. As it turned out, Hanji and Armin were had Adv. Chem. together and were partners, Reiner and Oluo worked together at a local fast food restaurant, and everyone else heard who the other was.

Eren still hadn't spoken to her sister and with her little stunt she was planning on just avoiding her completely, but her sister had other plans. After parting ways, Levi was escorting Eren to her first class when Mikasa halted them. She wanted to speak to Eren alone but Levi wasn't having that – not after stressing her a few days ago.

"I would rather us just talk alone, Eren," stated her older sister, glaring at the pale skinned raven.

"I'd rather us not, Levi stays," she crossed her arm across her chest – matched her sister's glare.

"Fine," sighed Mikasa, "I'm ss…I'm saaa…ugh….I'm soorrrrryyy….." the words wouldn't come out properly. In her eyes she was always right – that's how their parents raised them. "I'm sorry for stressing you out, for not listening, for not paying attention," and she reached out to touch her sisters hand.

"I accept your apology but I can't forgive you for telling me to have an abortion, I can't do that."

"I know and I feel awful," Mikasa covered her mouth with her dingy old red scarf.

Eren smiled and hugged her sister before they continued their own separate ways. She felt a little better now, knowing her sister apologized for once in her life.

Just like she predicted, she overheard people talk people talk about her but her friends were on her side. She caught her English teacher looking at her belly while she presented her report on Macbeth. But nothing got to her like what she overheard what this senior girl named Hannah said about her.

She had just finished speaking with her gym teacher and handing her the excuse her OB gave her, when she entered the locker room – to receive credit until next semester she had to dress out for every class. She never dressed in front of the other girls because she knew how they were. Quickly putting her stuff up, she grabbed her gym clothes, and went to one of the vacant stales to dress.

She had just put on her yoga short when she heard her, "Did you hear about that Eren chick?"

"The Jaeger sister?" she heard another.

"No shit, there's no other girl at this school with that name, tsk," she heard the first chick.

"Yeah, what about her?"

"She's got pregnant by Principle Smith's son, that hoe,"

"He has two, which one?"

"The cute one. You know guys like that, he'll leave her once she's a whale and waddling. She's not even pretty."

"Jeez, Hannah, you sound like if he's the hottest guy here and besides you have Franz."

"If Ackerman asked me out, I would drop Franz in an instant," she heard them laugh.

Since she had halted her dressing when she heard her name, she stepped out of the stall in nothing but her shorts and a now tight black sports bra. Her hair was now in a high pony tail and off her shoulders, no one had ever seen her naked – besides Levi – so they didn't know what he was hiding under her clothes until now. She threw open the door, exposing herself. A girl with orange hair, green eyes, chubby face with freckles turned and looked at her in surprise – Sasha had mimicked Eren's gestor a few stalls over.

"First of all, Hanna, Levi doesn't do cheap so he won't go near you. And two," she brought her left hand up to scratch her eye brow with her middle finger, showing off the wedding band. She smiled when she saw the older teen's eyes widen in shock.

Sasha couldn't hold her laughter at Hannah's reaction.

Eren quickly put on Gray t-shirt, grabbed her stuff to put up, and then went out to the gym to do her warm-ups before watching them finish the volleyball lesson.

Saturday

"Are you going to the mall with your friends?" asked Levi as she watched her dress from the bed. He didn't have to work today, so they stayed up late last night having a horror movie marathon. He didn't want her to go out by herself but all her friends were going to be there – guys too.

"Yeah," she said as she put on her looped a rubber band to hold her pants up, "you should come," she looked at him.

"Why, I'm at the mall every day," he scuffed. "What's that for?"

"My pants feel tight," she turned to look at him, "But this time we'll be walking around and plus I need to get bigger clothes and I want to check out that Motherhood store they just opened andIwannagooutinpublicwithyou," she mumbled to herself as she averted her eyes. Sure, they've gone to the convenient store, the supermarket, and what not together but they haven't been a date out in public since becoming public knowledge and she wanted to parade her catch.

"Oi, Is this your way of asking me on a date, brat?" teased Levi as he sat with his naked torso against the wooden black headboard. She flushed and gave him her back as she put on her baby pink top with black stars on the left pectoral region – courtesy of Isabel Fashion, Inc.

"Shut up," she huffed, "I just want you to get to really get to know my friends. And what if Mikasa or Jean try to kidnap me?" she turned to look at him with a mock terror expression.

"Pony boy better lay off," his eyes narrowed as he spoke. "Oh, Gramps wants us to go with him to his 'business' dinner."

Since confirming Eren's pregnancy, both adoptive parents and brother want him to quick his job at the mall and shadow Gramps at the office during his free time. Since the child would be the first grandchild – sorry eyebrows – they wanted to help them out as much as they could, and if that meant Levi's internship beginning early – so be it. Both teens' are still very reluctant to allow them to do such thing since Levi will be 18 in a couple of day, meaning that by law he isn't their charge anymore. 'Just because I didn't birth you, doesn't mean you are not my son, Levi. You became my son when I signed those paper and you will be my son even after you and I die,' shouted Nana when he tried use that 'but I'm adopted' crap. Isabel offered them a solution – hire said teen as a second assistant, let him have hands on training, pay him, better paying job/internship, and if he wanted to stay there after law school he'd become a partner – no questions asked.

And tonight he'd be introduced to other partners.

"Oh yeah," she scrunched up her nose, "Well, we gotta go shopping for that, too." She really wanted him to go to the mall with her.

"We? I already have a suite," he turned to where his all black business suite was hanging. She raised her perfectly penciled in eyebrow unamused. "Fine," he sighed and got off the bed to get ready.

She wears the pants in this relationship for the moment.

Since this morning they were covered in snow, Nana sent them in the family car – driver and all.

"You can just drop us off where all those brats are standing, Joseph," ordered Levi as she subcontiously played with Eren's loosely curled locks.

"Yes, sir,"

Pulling up to where the huge group of teens were, Joseph got off and opened the right passenger side door to allow the teens out. Her group of friends gawked at the driver. 'They have a driver?' filled their fried little brains, ignoring their friend and boyfriend.

"You have a driver?" chocked out Connie as she saw the late model, shiny pearl white Escalade drive off.

"Yes, don't you?" asked Levi in his velvety smooth voice that make Eren week at the knees.

"No," said the short teen with a buzz cut. He was shocked, he had honestly thought, like everyone else, that Levi was just a boy from the slums looking for easy money, but now, whoa.

After all the hugs and hellos, the teen entered the mall and began to explore the same store they saw a few weeks ago. Levi had heard of sorry from Eren about how her friends get, but witnessing it first hand was shocking. Yeah, Hanji was a loud mouth that Moblit couldn't control, Isabel would act like a child in a candy store, and Erd's and Gunther's 'game' was nothing compared to what he is witnessing before him. They would basically shout when talking, picked out of each other's food, the tall blonde's level of obnoxious flirting was higher that his two friends combined. He regretted coming.

"I am never going out with you and your friends again," he tells his girlfriends while rubbing his temples to relieve the massive headache he was getting. The other teens were too energetic for his taste.

"Babe, come on, we still have to check out 'Motherhood' and find something for tonight's dinner."

"Fine," huffs Levi, taking her hand and lightly kissing the knuckles, "Don't forget to give your sister her social security card," he drops her hand and begins to walk away.

"Where are you going?" she reaches for his wrist.

"Funnel cake," he crooks his head, "Don't you smell it?"

She shakes her head 'No'.

"I thought pregnant women had bionic noses or some shit?" he stated before glaring at a short blue eyed blonde that appeared next to his Eren unannounced.

"That is not always true," began the overly-intelligent blonde, "research has shown that in some cases the parents share pregnancy symptoms, such as cravings and nausea."

"No, shit?" questions Levi, interested in this now.

"It doesn't happen often and if it does people don't comment it because they don't want to seem weird. Eren's pregnancy symptom can only affect you, the baby's father, or those who are close to her – like Mikasa," the blonde point over to where said ravenette is standing dipping her hot Cheetos into a her cup of chocolate ice cream.

"How is that possible?" questions Eren as he animatedly looked between her sister and boyfriend. Levi doesn't like sweets and Mikasa is lactose intolerant.

"It's possible," smiled Armin, "Welcome to motherhood, mommy," he grinned at them before walking away towards Mikasa.

"Well, I'll be damned," Eren hummed in agreement, "Mushroom is either really a genius or just knows how to make things sound super fuckin' smart."

The two teen broke away from Eren's friends to get Levi is funnel cake. Eren felt like a queen walking hand in hand with the love of her life. They chatter about random things at they munched on their snacks – it felt nice. After their little intermission, they proceeded with their walked away from her friends – silence, finally. They walked into Motherhood and found many cute winter and spring top and fashionable maternity pants that she could where whenever. They went to build a bear where they both built a bear for their child – Levi's was a light brown plush teddy with a Cinderella dress – yes, he wants a girl – and Eren dresses an all-white teddy in a Spider-man suite and a dark brown on in a replica of Princess Tiana's dress from Princess and the Frog. Levi wants a little girl and Eren is still undecided. They stop by at Spencer's and get some unisex baby clothes and accessories, as well as lava lamp to brighten up their room.

When they rejoin her friends, they are all at a dress shop looking at catalogs, shoes, dresses, and tuxes for the either the Senior or Junior prom. As they walked around, Levi noticed that the store also had cocktail dresses. He parted ways with them once again to search for a dress for tonight. Knowing her current size in clothes and shoes, he grabs they dress and begins to search for the shoes. As he nears the shoe sections by the dressing room he hears two familiar voices – the horse who called him a loser and the freckled kid that called out Eren's name. He wanted to ignore them but the conversation topic was interesting and he saw two sets of feet in one stall.

Jean shoved Marco into a nearby dressing rom. Once inside the taller boy used his body to pin his assailant against the wall. They were chest to chest when Marco placed his forehead on Jean, both exchanging air as their noses rubbed against each other in a loving manner. Jean hand found its way to the back of the taller teen's head and softly nudged it forward for their lips to connect. Sweet chastity kisses were shared as Marco's arms wrapped around his boyfriend's waist and pulled him closer. He boldly nipped on Jean's lower lip earing a pleasant moan form said teen before playfully licking it as an apology. Jean willingly complied and thus a passionate make out session commences. Marco's tongue darted into Jean's to explore the warm, moist cavern he had claimed as his before. No on to easily submit, Jean fought back for a bit before surrendering to Marco and letting their muscles does their familiar tango.

Jean breaks the kiss before it gets too heated. He once again began an Eskimo make out session with quick pecks to the freckled teen's rosy full lips.

"I've missed you," he whispers.

"I've missed you, too," Marco smiles before they release each other.

"My parents asked me last night if I had asked Eren, again," whispered Jean.

Marco turned away from him, face going red with jealousy and rage.

"And?"

"I told them the part of the truth," sighed Jean, rubbing his eyes in frustration, "Part of it at least. I told them that she hadn't gone to school in two day."

"Jesus, Jean," scuffed Marco turning to look back at his boyfriend – Jean averted his eyes this time.

"I'm sorry, Jean, but I can't do this anymore," and he really couldn't. Years of hiding his sexuality from those around him were beginning to take a toll on him. He wanted what the other couples had – a boyfriend to parade to the world.

"What do you mean, 'you can't do this anymore', Marco?" growled Jean. This couldn't be happening, his boyfriend can't be breaking up with him not yet. No, they are supposed to get married, adopt a few kids, grow old together, and die together peacefully as they slept in each other's arms.

"This Jean, the sneaking around, watching you go on dates with woman to please your parents, what about me, Jean, what about me? I can't watch you enjoy your life at parties or important dinners with someone that isn't me clinging to your arm," he shouted back to the shorter teen who's eyes were wide in shock of his outburst.

"You know we can't do that, Marco," Jean argued back and they couldn't – not in the town they live and the family they hold names too.

"But I want to, Jean, I want to be out there right now holding your hand and telling you how amazing you look with that shirt on. I want to parade you down the halls at school and be like 'yeah bitches, back off he's mine'" he used air quotes, "I want to go out on a date with you where we don't have to mask it with a hang out," his voice began to crack. "Jean, I want to talk to my friends and tell them how amazing my boyfriends is, how much I love him, I want them to know what I have someone as loving and amazing as you."

"We can't do that, Marco," softly said Jean. This was going where he didn't want it. "You know we can't."

"Look at Eren and Levi, they look so happy!? Look at Krista and Ymir," he shouted. "I will not stand by and watch you walk past me just because you're scared of what your parents would say."

"It's not that simple," Jean whipped his tears away with the sleeve of his tan long sleeve shirt, "They both got kicked out for who they love."

"Fine, you've made up your mind, okay, fine, have a nice life Jean," and sweet Marco exits the dressing room with a tear stricken face – unaware they were shouting and the whole store heard their argument.

"You can't do this to me, Marco, no now, not before Christmas," cried Jean as he followed the older teen out the stall. "Marco, I love you," he cried out as he saw the freckled man walk towards the door.

"Don't lie to me, Jean," he turned around and snapped at said teen. Their friends' eyes widened in shock when they heard the sweet and loving Marco short.

"I'm not lying, Freckles, I love you, please," and Jean falls to his knees as Marco continues to the door.

"Then prove it," with that Marco left the store, crying his way out the mall and to his car.

Jean broke down, the rest of his body slumped forwards and his arms covered his head as he chanted Marco's name over and over so he could come back. Marco was ready to let the world know about their relationship, but Jean was scared of rejection. He had seen it several times in the world they live in. It didn't matter the reason but if one found what you did repulsive you were shunned.

This chapter was supposed to be longer, but my head is killing me and I'm most likly falling into a temporary writers block for the night. This chapter was written in on about 2 days with very huge intermissions, lol. If all goes well, I'll work on the this fic tomorrow as well. Fingers crossed.

What did ya think of the JeanxxMarco? At first I was going to have him be a dick and try to hook up with Eren to be with Mikasa but as I was typing my fingers typed Jean and Marco's secret relationship becoming public like this. lol

i have not revised his so i apologize for all my mistakes. night night

lots of love

maggie love.
