Death: I am on a roll, again. So many story ideas at once. And expect a lot of rollercoaster of emotions here.
Chapter Four Results
=3=
It took about a full week before Hange revealed the test results. They had double checked over and over, even retested with some of the leftover blood just to be sure. And the answer was always the same. During this time period, Hange had others spy on the omega and his two alphas to update them on anything that was strange.
It was all strange data that Hange would have to study later, but their main concern was the results of the blood work. The results came in just in time, when the government sent over Military Police trying to take away Captain Levi.
"You are an omega, the rules states that omegas can't be in any branch of the military." An alpha officer didn't even flinch as the majority of the Survey Corp surrounded the captain to protect him.
"And how many times do we have to repeat to you, you would have to get through all of us." Mike snarled, as he and nearly every alpha extended their scents further out to draw attention from the rest of the Survey Corp.
It didn't take long for Erwin to show up with Hange at his heels. Shortly after his appearance came the fresh new recruits who had set aside their training drills in order to check what the threat was. Immediately both alphas who had mated with Levi were on either side of him, and suddenly the Military Police grew nervous. This wasn't a good sign if the omega had already bonded, but to have two alphas was a whole different ball game to them.
It was also around this time the Survey Corp stopped enveloping the air with their scents defensively. With a high alpha there to settle the situation, and being one of two alphas who mated with the omega, the Survey Corp didn't need to be so defensive now. They still crowded around the short captain, for he was still considered one of them, omega or not.
"If you would please refrain from taking away our mate, you will be also informed that he's not a normal omega. For one, he can't breed. He had a surgery done some years ago, before he joined the Survey Corp to have his ovaries removed. So, not only will he be useless for your breeding programs, he will also be uncontrolled, for we have discovered that he is a high omega." Commander Erwin stood tall and straight, body tense as he stared down at the Military Police alpha.
"What proof do you have that he's a high omega?" The officer didn't back down, but he did flinch.
"Here are the results. I double checked them, and did the tests again to ensure that it was the same result." Hange handed over the papers, and the officer read them carefully.
After a moment it was clear he was not delighted at the revelation.
"And he's mated to two alphas..." The alpha growled under his breath.
"Not yet anyway, but they're both courting him. It also might be a high chance they are a three way intended." Hange added with a knowing smile, their glasses flashing under the sunlight as they were adjusted.
"So you're saying we can't separate them." The officer concluded, about near snarling.
Then he picked up a scent that he hadn't noticed before. It was very faint, but he recognized it, being mated himself with pups. He eyed the corporal, and nearly shivered when the omega stared back with equal intensity.
"While there is no doubt he isn't a high omega, you might want to test him properly about his ovaries. I know the faint scent of an omega that is pregnant. I'm surprised none of you have picked up on it yet, but perhaps it's because the majority of you aren't making babies, when you're all too busy fighting titans." He stated with disdain.
"It's only been two weeks since the heat cycle, it would be too early to tell." Hange defended.
"Just have him go through a pregnancy test. I will say here and now that if he is, he won't be taken away. However, if after the pup or pups are born and he is still unmated to either or both alphas, then he will be collected for one of the highest breeding programs there is out there." The officer glowered.
They can't do that, can they?
Levi glanced at the commander, and found by his expression they could, indeed.
But was he pregnant? He didn't feel any different. Aside from more snappy since his heat cycle, but that was it.
Pregnant or not, he was going to put this stupid intruding alpha in his place. Levi brushed passed his alphas and while unleashed his full scent to show off his power. He kicked the officer in the lower gut almost groin area. The alpha doubled over in pain, and without missing a beat Levi used the same leg to push the man down on his knees, the heel of his boot digging into the man's head. Pale blue gray eyes glared coldly down at the alpha he forced into submission.
"If you think you can use that stupid loophole to separate me from the fucking Survey Corp, you're wrong. Because, let me tell you something. I ain't leaving. The only option you have of taking me away is my dead body. And I will gladly take you and every filthy unicorn down with me. I don't plan on being a breeding tool to the highest bidder, I will never be chained to filthy alphas like you. Also, you might want to reconsider your life choices for threatening the mate of a high alpha and a young alpha, bitch." Levi snarled deep in his throat.
To prove his point he pressed his boot down a little harder on the officer's head, pretty sure he broke a nose and maybe a few teeth, but Levi was enjoying it too much to care of the consequences. And this was a prime alpha he had just forced into submission. Levi sent a cold glare at another alpha from the Military Police who stepped forward. At his glare the alpha knelt down.
"Please let him go! We'll leave you and your mates alone." The alpha pleaded.
"I don't know, I mean he just threatened me. Do you know where I crawled out of before I joined the Survey Corp?" Levi tilted his head, glowering.
"They - they said you came from the Underground City." A beta officer gulped.
"Good, at least one of you know a bit of history. Do you know the punishment for such a heinous act towards any mated beta or omega down there?" He was revealing his true colors, and he enjoyed seeing them squirm.
"Please! Have mercy!" The kneeling alpha pleaded.
"I think that's enough, corporal. They learned their lesson." Commander Erwin finally stepped in.
Levi lifted his boot with a snort. "Be lucky you shits aren't worse off. Not to mention a high alpha actually showed mercy where I wouldn't. Now get out of my sight before I change my mind."
The Military Police scrambled out of the building, pulling and half carrying their injured officer. As soon as they were gone the Scouts released a yell of approval and delight. They usually didn't have a backbone against that particular branch, but they couldn't sit back and watch them take away one of the best Scouts.
"That was amazing, captain!"
"You guys are the best mated pair! All three of you are so adorable together!"
"Are you really pregnant, captain?"
"Oh! I wonder if it will be a boy or girl?"
"I bet it's twins! Since he does have two partners, why not?"
"Can we please stop talking about me having pups? The chances of that happening are very low." Levi deadpanned, silencing the excited talking and murmuring.
"Maybe we should have you tested, just in case. That man does have an omega wife, and they have three pups so far." Hange considered out loud, and Levi scoffed.
"I still highly doubt that's the case, shitty four eyes."
"It wouldn't hurt to be tested. Just in case measure, and settle all our minds." Erwin gently urged.
"Better now than later, right captain? Before something happens and you lose the pups. If you are pregnant, I mean." Eren added his input nervously.
They do have a point.
"...Your scent is changing." Mikasa spoke sincerely. Being an alpha with a sensitive nose, she picked up even the faintest of changes of a signature scent faster than most people did.
"As a matter of fact, it is. And that weird sour aftertaste is gone. It's a natural sweetness to his scent, now." Mike commented, as he leaned over a little to sniff the omega's scent. He drew away when two alphas growled at him. "My apologies, I did not mean to intrude."
"That settles it, captain you're coming with me." Without another word Hange pulled the short omega along to the lab to conduct several different pregnancy tests just to have a variety of answers to better understand what was going on.
"Oi! Don't drag me along like a fucking pup!" Levi yowled.
Hange is just lucky they're not an alpha, or two very angry alphas would be tearing them apart.
"Commander, sir, Eren, you two are welcome to witness the tests and their results. Oh, Moblit dear, I'm going to need your help. I get the feeling this one will be feisty and resist me with every second the tests are being done." Hange ignored the captain's outburst, going straight into scientific mode.
The three mentioned silently followed suit. Mike was just grateful he didn't get torn to pieces.

As Hange predicted, Levi resisted. It took the work of Hange, Moblit, and both alpha mates to calm the captain down enough to allow the stupid tests to be done. That didn't mean he didn't stop the snide comments that it was impossible, for he had even tested his body after the surgery a few times and didn't result in a pregnancy.
"Okay, that might be true, but the chances of getting impregnated during a heat cycle is really high. So, despite the odds, maybe your body can't get pregnant during normal sex." Hange pointed out.
"As if!" Levi didn't sound too confident that time, but he was still putting up a front just to show he wasn't giving in.
There's no way I'm having pups.
There was just no way. He couldn't believe it. That would mean the surgeon had failed seven years prior.
For the rest of the day it was bitter bantering back and forth. The results would take a long time, as Hange and Moblit used all the methods that were best known to confirm if he was pregnant. They looked at blood samples, did a test with his urine, and other unusual methods. They even asked of his eating habits, his recent change of behavior, which he never found odd at all.
"Have you been more snappy recently?" Hange was serious as they stared at the captain with brown eyes.
"Maybe a little towards the recruits." Levi admitted.
"You kidding? You've drilled us over the simplest of things! Jean has become your favorite punching bag!" Eren said otherwise.
"Horse Face is an idiot!" The captain defended.
"That may be so, but you had him clean the entire first floor with his own toothbrush!" The titan shifter frowned.
"He nearly destroyed an entire set of plates!" Levi groaned.
"Okay, so extra bitchy. What about eating habits? Have you noticed any changes of your diet?" Hange decided to change the subject.
"Not that I know of." Levi blinked.
"Actually, I've seen you steal portions of weird food. I saw you once steal some bread, slap some butter and cheese in it, added some mushrooms, garlic, and spinach, with some freshly made potato sticks. All into one bun. And then you proceeded to place the blame on Sasha for sneaking extra portions of food." Erwin revealed, and the little omega couldn't even form words on his defense for that one.
"Oh! I've seen him eat a whole basket of blueberries! Remember when the fruit was delivered last week to help the betas regain their strength after their heat cycles? He ate a whole basket of blueberries!" Eren recalled.
You're ratting me out, too?
"You helped me finish that, you brat!" Levi snapped, and the titan shifter flinched.
"Only because you almost cried when I turned down eating some with you. I couldn't deny your pouting face!" The titan shifter was almost ready to cry.
"Oh dear lord these two are having the swinging emotions." Erwin breathed out, hand pinching the bridge of his nose.
"So far you're showing clear signs, captain. The tests are almost done. Last thing is to listen into your belly here - whoa!" Hange had moved closer with a stethoscope and was roughly kicked away from the little omega, who snarled. All of the alphas tensed, Moblit was the only one who moved as he helped his mate.
"Levi, calm yourself." Erwin was tense as he released some of his high alpha scent to calm the erratic omega.
"No, you don't understand! I can't be pregnant! I can't be! I would be a horrible parent, and I don't want to subject you two into that! Just...please, if I am, please don't let me carry to full term." Levi resisted, they weren't mated, so the scent didn't have complete control over him.
"It's not just you who gets to make a decision! It's all of us, as a team, we're trying to make this work, right? Then let us help you, captain. Please, let us all decide together what to do if you are with pups. You didn't make them by yourself, you know that." Eren was full blown crying, his hands fisted tightly as he resisted the urge to punch something, a wall, anything.
He...he has a point. But...I wouldn't be a great parent. Don't they see that?
"But I'm not the greatest person to be a parent." Levi choked.
""There's always a reason for something to happen. I've been looking into more about three way intended mates. And I noticed a pattern. Such things happen usually when three souls are forever outcasts, whether by society, family, whatever. All three are outcasts. But when they're together, they're a solid team. Each individual makes up what the others lack, and they balance each other out. I think that's what is happening here." Hange theorized, voice calm despite being kicked very painfully into a desk.
"Just fucking say what you're meant to say." Levi snarled.
"What I'm saying is, Eren and Erwin are naturally caring and nurturing. They're nurturing in different ways, but they both cover what you lack. Eren lacks the confidence to take initiative, and that's what you and Erwin share qualities of. But the only difference is that you, Levi, have the time to show him the ropes while Erwin has to focus on the entire Survey Corp. Meanwhile Erwin lacks the ability to relax and let loose once in a while, take care of himself first. Something you both cover for him."
I knew people have been spying on us.
"So...you're saying, if I carry to full term...I don't have to be the perfect parent?" Levi bit his lip.
"You wouldn't need to be perfect when you've got two people willing to share the workload." Hange nodded, finally, finally the captain was understanding! And one glance at the alphas, they understood, too.
"Let's work together on what to do from here, shall we? I vow here and now that if you are carrying, I won't abandon you, Levi. You have my word, I will support you every way possible." Erwin was trying to soothe things over, and his calming voice and scent was slowly working.
"And I won't leave you, either! I adore you, I want to help." Eren added, smiling gently while his eyes were bright.
"...Okay." Levi nodded, and cautiously Hange used the stethoscope to listen to his belly.
After a few moments, Hange and their mate Moblit went over the results. It felt like forever. And the three held hands as they felt the nervousness eat away at them. Finally, the two came forward with final results.
"Good news is, you're not pregnant."
Oh thank fucking god.
"Better news, your ovaries grew back. Either you will have a second heat really soon, or it will follow the normal pattern of early to mid fall heat cycles and you will be able to carry." Hange revealed the papers.
"But...how?" Levi was dumbfounded.
"I've said before, the body can do amazing things once a new chemical balance is thrown into the equation." Hange grinned, delighted but saddened at the same time. They knew some of the captain's secrets, while the alphas didn't.
"They can't be removed again, can they? The surgeon said a second time would be too risky." Levi bit his lip.
"Yes, it would cause too much trauma for the body and it will begin to shut down and you will slowly die. I would really hate to watch that, and I'm sure these two wouldn't, either." The squad leader nodded.
"But...what about the odd change of behavior and diet?" Eren was confused.
"His body is becoming accustomed to the chemical changes of his ovaries returning. Because of this, it throws his whole hormones in his body through a loop. Hence why I'm warning you guys that he might have another heat soon, worse than the previous one, if his body decides not to wait until this fall." Hange warned.
Of course. There's always at least two downsides when it comes down to me.
"Let's leave them to decide what to do from here on. We need to announce to the rest of the Survey Corp for them, anyways. Everyone is waiting on baited breath for answers." Moblit was urging Hange and himself to give them some space.
When they were gone, Levi looked up at the alphas.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be selfish. I guess I kind of overreacted." He bit his lip.
I hate apologizing. And yet here I am apologizing to two alphas.
"It's understandable. You were raised by an alpha who saw betas and omegas as weak, by chance? You have shown us the insecurities and negative effects of growing up without a nurturing environment." Erwin gently pried, enveloping them with his soothing scent.
"...Yes. But my mother ensured I know how to respect people, despite their statuses." Levi admitted.
"Well, that's another thing we're meant for. Helping you get over your insecurities. And honestly, captain, I think you would make a great parent. You look down on yourself too much." Eren surmised with an assuring smile.
Somehow, Levi felt better. It was as he said to Hange the previous week, ever since the threesome happened, it felt as if a large weight had been lifted from his shoulders. And it wasn't only him who felt this. Erwin wasn't as stressed compared to before this relationship started, and he started to come around more often to the Scouts again as their friendly commander. Eren was still a nervous wreck, but he wasn't about to fly off when his temper got the better of him. He started to learn how to control it, and it did wonders for him.
"Thanks, alphas. Is...is it all right if we wait a while before trying for pups?" Levi felt nervous.
"Sure, there's no rush. We're still taking this whole relationship thing slow." Erwin was down for it.
"Yeah, no sense of making things even more crazy." Eren pulled the captain into a hug, and shortly after the commander hugged both of them to his broad chest.
For alphas, they're not bad. They're affectionate, and caring. I could get used to this.
They remained like this, embracing, breathing in each other's scents. Once again Levi felt he was the luckiest omega with his two caring and nurturing alphas. They were slowly changing the way he saw the world.
