A blonde figure was running. Running as fast as his legs would take him. Only one name was repeated in his mind and he had to get to her. People watched as this man ran past with so much speed.
He stopped at the building that said 'Infirmary'. The person at the desk recognize him and led him to the back rooms filled with few patients.
"Annie." He gasped as the curtain opened to reveal his beautiful wife sleeping. All his nerves calmed as he saw that she looked okay. No fatal injuries or her face in pain.
The nurse left them as he sat next to her. Holding her hand with a worried expression. "Annie, I'm here."
Her eyes opened slowly at the sound of Armins voice. "A-Armin," she looked at him with smile. "Hey."
"Hey?! Annie do you know how worried I was? I thought that something happened to you. Do you see why I stay in my cubicle?! Seriously? They call and tell me that my wife is at the infirmary?" Armin pushed his hair back in stress. "I can't believe that I let you go back out there. I really thought that something happened to you. Then, all you have to say is 'hey'?!"
"Chill, Armin." She sighed. "Besides, I should be the one fretting over here." Annie sat up in the bed and grabbed his hand back.
Armin sat next to her again before looking at her. "Why? What's wrong?"
"Well," Annie looked down their hands. How is he going to take this? Heck. I barely believe it.
His face was filled with worry and concern as the time went by. "Annie."
She stuttered the words out in disbelief, as if also hearing it for the first too. But, the doctor just told her 30 minutes ago.
"I-I'm p-pregnant."
This can't be happening.
Armin sat in silence. His eyes went down to stare at the floor. "W-Wha-.."
"Armin.." She didn't know what to think either. His action only reflected hers as well.
"H-How?" He asked while the grip on her hand went tighter. As if it was his last hold on reality.
Annie raised an eyebrow. "Really, you want to know how I got pregnant?"
"Nonono! I meant how is it possible again? What happened?"
Well, even after the loss of their first child didn't meant they couldn't stop having a relationship in bed. It was only time that this would happened again.
Annie laid back against the pillows and sighed. "I guess I'm just fated to live through this nightmare again."
"Hey don't be like that. I'm just shocked." Armin leaned over and placed a quick kiss on her lips. "Maybe this will be different."
"I really hope so. They just said it was a slight shock of pain. Apparently I'm still healing." Annie responded with a tired smile.
He could the amount of stress this is already putting on her. "You better get some rest. I'll let the others know what's going on."
She nodded before laying back down and closing her eyes. Armins lips pressed against her forehead before taking off outside.
He walked outside the building to see their friends walking over. "Hey guys." Armin waved them over.
"Armin! Where's Annie? Is she okay?!" Christa started fretting and clawing at his shirt. "Reiner told us she was here!"
Ymir calmly picked her up to place next to her. "I'm sure he was just about to tell us," she replied.
Mikasa stepped up next to them. "Armin. What happened?"
"S-She's.. Going to have another baby." Armins smile grew as he thought about it more. He and Annie can have a second chance. Being a father meant the world to him. "Annie's pregnant!" He laughed.
"What?!" Eren ran up quickly beside Mikasa. "Like, right now?! She's in labor?!" He started glancing at everyone with a shocked face.
Mikasa hit him across the arm. "Really? Did Annie even look pregnant?"
He looked down in realization. "Oh.. Oh yeah."
"You two are having baby! And Mikasa is two months behind!" Sasha exclaimed in excitement. "Whoo! Connie! I want one!" She wrapped her arm around him with a smile.
A dark shade went over his eyes in horror. "B-But we already have Potato!"
They all laughed at his reaction. Connie can barely handle Sasha and Potato as it is.
"So, I guess this means we're hopefully getting a mini Annie and Armin. Did the doctor say anything was going to be wrong this time?" Reiner asked.
Armin smile was soft as he replied, "We don't know yet. This was just a shock from the miscarriage and she still healing. There are going to be some struggles with this pregnancy but, I'm sure she can make it through with a healthy baby." He looked down at the ground with a gloomy face. "I don't think she can handle another loss."
Mikasa felt his pain and motioned Eren to come. "Armin. We're all here for you. And Annie." She wrapped her arms around him as Eren placed a hand on his friends shoulder. "We love you both."
This has been a long journey. Facing death, pain, loss, and torture throughout these years. But all of these struggles won't stop me and my friends from being happy. We enjoy every moment with each other. Not taking it for granted. Annie and my future child are my world. I will fight for them, so they can be safe and happy.
