Hange: It's Party Time! Hurry up and come home! We can't have baby shower without the baby and his daddies ;)

Erwin had to come up with an excuses for them to go back to the apartment even though they had only been at the park for a little over an hour. The wind had started to pick up and it was getting a little chilly; as Erwin zipped up his jacket he got an idea. Levi had returned to the picnic table and stood next to the stroller, watching Eren play with his toy for a minute before sitting down next to Erwin.

"The wind has gotten a little chilly. We should head back soon. I'd hate to see Eren catch a cold." Erwin said hoping that bringing Eren's well being into question, might cause Levi to agree with him. Luck seemed to be on Erwin's side today because as soon as Erwin finished his sentence, Eren sneezed twice. This helped make Erwin's point more believable. Levi agreed that they should head back as he stood up and buckled Eren back into the stroller, covering him up with the blanket he had put in the diaper bag just in case. Levi was nothing if not prepared. The three of them headed back to the apartment complex, this time Erwin pushed the stroller so that he could give Levi a break.

About 15 minutes later they arrived home safe and sound. Eren was starting to squirm and fuss a little, he was clearly ready to get out of the stroller and be held again. Erwin told Levi he was going to head upstairs and make them both some tea to help them warm up, while Levi got Eren out of the stroller and put it back in the storage room. Levi just nodded his head as he unbuckled Eren. Erwin sent Hange a quick text to let her know it was just him coming in and not to yell surprise yet. After he got into the apartment he stood next to the others just waiting for Levi and Eren to come through the door. Meanwhile Levi had gotten Eren out of the stroller and was holding him he headed up the stairs. Eren sneezed again and Levi made a comment about how he would give Eren a nice warm bath. Levi turned the door handle and as he pushed the door open...

"SUPREISE!" Everyone said at the same time. Levi's eyes widened in shock for a second before he returned to his usual emotionless expression.

"What the hell are you doing?" Levi asked as he glared at everyone. Ordinarily this would have been intimidating but since he was holding a baby, the intimidation factor was almost non existent.

"It's a baby shower silly." Hange said as she pointed to the 'It's a boy' banner hanging over her head. Levi looked around his apartment only to find that everything was blue. Blue balloons, blue streamers, blue frosting on the cupcakes, blue wrapping paper on the pile of gifts in the corner. Not to mention more food than all of them could possibly eat. All of them being Hange, Petra, Oluo, Eld, Gunther, Farlen, Erwin and of course himself and Eren.

"Aren't baby showers for pregnant women?" Levi sighed as he closed the door behind him.

"Well, I guess in the traditional sense a baby shower would be for a pregnant woman. However the purpose behind a baby shower is to congratulate the new parents as well as celebrate the new addition to their family." Hange explained. "And since Eren is the newest member of yours and Erwin's family, a baby shower is appropriate. Don't you think?"

Levi just rolled his eyes, it didn't really matter if he thought this was dumb or not because he knew his friends were stubborn enough not to leave until Levi had properly participated. So he did the only thing he could do, he gave in and let the party happen. Everyone fixed themselves a plate of food and began talking and enjoying themselves. Eren clung to Levi, the baby wasn't used to so many people being around, he shyly hid his face in Levi's chest. Hange offered to take Eren for a little while so Levi could get some food and catch up with Eld and Gunther since they hadn't seen each other in over a year.

Eren seemed to remember Hange and went to her more willingly than Levi expected him too. Levi hated to admit it but he was pretty overprotective. He let Hange take Eren but he made sure to keep an eye on them from where he was sitting. Hange bounced Eren up and down on her lap as she talked to Petra who was just as mesmerized by how adorable Eren was. Eren laughed partly because of Hange bouncing him and partly because Petra was tickling him and making silly faces. Eren then reached out for Petra, wanting to be held by her now. Petra gladly took him and started to rock him in her arms. Oluo walked over and started talking to Petra then directed his attention towards Eren.

"Hey squirt, You've got good taste in women." Oluo started to say "Petra is amaz-" But before he could finish he bit his tongue hard enough for blood to squirt out. The sudden action scared Eren and caused him to cry.

"Nice job stupid, you made him cry." Petra said hitting the back of Oluo's head. She tried her best to comfort the crying baby but it was no use, the one Eren wanted was Levi. Levi took Eren from Petra and began to comfort him by patting his back and rocking him slightly. Almost immediately Eren went from crying loudly to soft whimpers as he snuggled closer to Levi. The others were amazed at how fast Levi was able to calm him down, it was certainly not something they expected to see from the frighteningly intimidating Levi Ackerman.

"Why don't we open the presents now." Hange suggested. She told Erwin and Levi to sit on the couch together and begin opening the presents. Erwin agreed to open them while Levi held Eren; prenteding not to be interested even though he was. Oluo had gotten Eren a toy box shaped like a treasure chest to match the ocean themed nursery. Eld and Gunther had filled the toy box all the way to the top with as many toys as they could. Farlen being a book lover and Levi's only employee at the book store that he owned, had gotten Eren several bestselling children's books. Hange and Petra had gone on a shopping spree and bought Eren an entire wardrobe of cloths. They even took the liberty of buying cloths in several sizes so that Eren could grow into them. Levi and Erwin thanked everyone for how unnecessarily generous they were. The party continued as everyone ate and talked; Hange and Petra stole Eren away from Levi again. However it wasn't long before Eren waned to go back to Levi, he started to fuss and reach out for him.

"Someone is certainly a daddy's boy." Petra said with a wink as she handed Eren back to Levi.

"Tch. How can he be a daddy's boy if he doesn't have a dad." Levi said as he looked away, not wanting to make eye contact with anyone. He would never admit it out loud but did feel kind of insecure about not technically being Eren's father.

"Levi. You may not be Eren's biological father, but you have been more of a dad to him than most biological fathers are to their actual children." Petra said as she rested her hand on Levi's shoulder. "You are Eren's daddy and Eren is your son."

Eren yawned and started to rub his eyes, it was clear that he was ready for another nap. Levi excused them from the party and headed to Eren's room. The two of them sat in the rocking chair together, Levi rocked back and forth as Eren yawned and started to drift off to sleep. As he watch Eren fall asleep, Levi decided that Petra was right, he cared about Eren and was going to do his best to raise him. Eren was his little brat after all. When Levi was sure Eren was asleep he tucked him into his crib, putting his stuffed octopus next to him. Levi watched him sleep for a few more minutes, then bent over and kissed Eren's forehead. He closed the door behind him as he left Eren's room and headed back to the others.

The rest of them all talked for a while longer before they had to go their separate ways. Levi made everyone take some of the food with them because there was no way in hell he and Erwin would be able to finish all of the leftovers. Hange was the only one to stay behind, mostly because she wanted to help clean up. Once they were finished Hange left saying how they should get together again soon, Erwin agreed while Levi made some snide comment about how they already see to much of her. Hange stuck her tongue out at Levi before she left.

With Eren asleep and everyone else gone, Erwin and Levi finally had some time to themselves. They decided to watch a movie and cuddle on the couch. However they quickly lost interest in the movie, and became very interested in each others lips. Levi was to tired to try and fight back for dominance the way he usually did, as Erwin's tongue slid into his mouth. Since he usually gave in anyway he just let Erwin do what he wanted as he pushed Levi back on to the couch, deepening the kiss even more. This lasted for a while until they were both panting and breathing heavily. They decided to head to the bedroom to continue; after bringing Eren home the two of them hadn't had anytime to be intimate. Erwin laid Levi down on the bed, climbing on top of him and began kissing Levi's neck. Levi let out a few quite moans as Erwin continued to suck and bite at the soft spot on his neck. Erwin was about to remove Levi's shirt, but as fate would have it Eren had woken up from his nap and began to cry. Both men sighed and Levi got up to check on Eren, who needed a diaper change. Now that the mood had been killed they decided that they would play with Eren until it was they put him bed.

They got out a few of the new toys Eren had gotten from Eld and Gunther, and played with Eren for about an hour and a half. Levi then took Eren to the bathroom to give him a bath and get him ready for bed. After he was all squeaky clean Levi gave Eren a bottle then headed to the nursery to rock him back to sleep. Eren wasn't quite ready for sleep yet though, so Levi had Erwin grab one of the books Farlen had given Eren and began to read to the stubborn baby. Levi continued to rock and read to Eren, when he was about half way through the story Eren had fallen asleep. Levi gently placed Eren into the crib before heading back to his room. Erwin was already in bed waiting for Levi, both of them silently agreeing that their earlier activities would have to wait for another day.
