Erwin had known Isabel for years. She became a nurse not long after he joined the military, they'd spoken on numerous occasions both professionally and otherwise. They'd seen some of the worst injuries together throughout his entire service and still managed to get up and keep fighting for the cause. He admired her for that.

Erwin ran as fast as he could to the hospital. He needed to get to Isabel without seeing Eren. She needed to know what he thought was going on. He arrived and to his horror he was told that she was in Levi's room. He was only told that it had been an emergency, even with his Commander rank he still had to abide by patient confidentiality no matter how much he hated it.

Erwin made the decision to head down the hall to Levi's room. This was going to go one of two ways, he was either going to be able to rationalise with Eren and explain his theory or he's going to end up with an incredibly bruised face. Erwin wasn't one for hesitation so he took off down the hall ignoring the nurses shouts behind him telling him to stop.

He approached the room and can to a sudden halt. Eren was slumped on the floor knees pulled up to his chest and he was shuddering, no he was crying. Erwin moved closer and gently knelt down in front of Eren.

"Eren?" He asked quietly as not to frighten him. Eren simply looked at him, eyes wet and tear stairs fresh on his pale cheeks.

"What do you want?" Eren replied. His tone was firm but not vicious.

"What...How is he?" Erwin didn't know how to phrase it. Eren stared at him, unreadable expression set on his face.

"I shouldn't even bother telling you. I'm only telling you because you're the Commander. They have no idea why he won't wake up. His vitals were fine one minute and the next he practically flat lined..." Eren choked back another sob that was ready to rip it's way up throat.

Erwin didn't wait for him to continue he pushed the doors of the room open and was met with six sets of eyes on him.

"Commander Erwin! You cannot be..."

"I think I know what's wrong! Hear me out" He managed to get out before he could be escorted out.

The door behind him hadn't fully closed so Eren had heard him. He was on his feet and next to Erwin in an instant.

"What do you mean? How do you know?" Eren asked.

Erwin wasn't sure he wanted to have this conversation with Eren in the room but he supposed he'd need to know eventually.

"Look I was in Levi's office and I was clearing up papers and these were underneath" He pulled the pale pink packet from his pocket. Everyone could see what it was. One of the nurses cupped her hands over her mouth in shock, Isabel hung her head and was shaking it slightly. Erwin looked at Eren last and he had completely paled. There was no colour left on his face.

Eren had assumed Levi was taking his pills even when they hadn't been together.

"Eren..." Isabel's voice was soft and sweet and it drew Erens eyes immediately.

"I've got to ask. When was the last time you and Levi..." She hoped he'd grasp what she meant. He grasped it all right, with both hands and wanted to strangle it.

"The...er...the morning of the Titan attack" Eren said, he'd gained some colour back, his face was now a bright shade of pink.

"We need to get him an ultrasound now!" One nurse called.

"I'll let the ward know we're on our way up" Another called scurrying out of the room. They began detaching Levi from the various wires they'd attached him to.

"So...is he...is he pregnant?" Eren asked, voice shaking.

"That's what we need to fine out" Isabel said moving quickly past him and out of the room. Levi was soon wheeled away down the corridor. Eren was left standing in and empty room alone. Erwin followed Levi but Eren couldn't move. He was frozen to the spot.

The thoughts racing through Erens mind were out of control. Why had he stopped taking the birth control? When had he stopped? Why did he allow them to have sex when he knew this was a possibility?

Eren eventually managed to settle into the chair still situated next to the empty space that used to contain Levi's bed. His eyes fell to the floor and his body began to shake. He didn't realise he was crying until he saw droplets hit the floor.

"Eren honey?" A small voice called from the doorway. Eren followed the voice and soon saw that it was Isabel . Eren had tears still streaming down his face, he couldn't help it. His emotions were being pulled in every direction that he couldn't keep up.

"Come with me honey, come on" He came closer and reached for his hand, she slowly coaxed him out of the chair. She lead him down a few corridors, he didn't take much notice. He was focusing all his energy on not falling over his own feet.

They arrived to a small room, it contained a desk, one single metal chair and a couple of pictures scattered around the walls.

Eren sat in the chair facing Isabel. Neither of them said a word for several minutes. Eren sat imagining the worst, his vision became blurry and tears spilled silently.

"Don't cry honey" She said gently. Eren didn't stop crying, he couldn't.

"Eren I have something for you to look at." Isabel pushed a folder across the table to him and he gently pulled it closer to himself.

Inside the folder were various bits of paper, Levi's CT scan results, his blood results and his ultrasound results and pictures. Erens blood ran cold as he stared at the pictures.

"He's..." He tried so hard to get the rest of the words out but he couldn't.

"Pregnant. Yes" Isabel confirmed.

Eren looked at her, emotions running wild. He then glanced at the photo resting in his trembling hands. There is was clear as day, small but clear. A baby. His baby. No it was their baby. Levi was carrying their baby.

"How long?" He asked.

"He's about 3 and a half weeks now." Eren did the math and it was the morning he'd told them about in Levis room. The morning of the titan attack.

"How did...how did it survive?"

Isabel sighed and hung her head.

"We don't know Eren. We don't know if there will be any damage to the baby when it's born or...if it'll make it to full term." She looked incredibly guilty delivering the news but he had to know the truth.

"So...Levi is carrying our baby?" Eren said looking at the scan in his hand.

"It appears so" She replied, a small smile appeared across her lips.
