" , bring this note to please, he'll either be waiting outside the encampment where he's suppose to be or he's snuck off to the library with . That's their favorite hiding spot. I give you permission to interrupt whatever it is they're doing." She shooed him off and went back to eating the food that had been forced on her. Her morning sickness was still awful and she never wanted to eat anything. Levi now that he knew made her at least eat some bread and anything she didn't eat usually ended up being eaten by Sasha Braus, but today Hanji was determined to finish the lumpy bowl of oatmeal. It would calm Levi down. He was starting to nag that she didn't eat enough to even keep herself going much less a baby. It was so hard though knowing that the second it hit her stomach it'd just come straight back up.
"Hey Armin you should probably wake up I have a note from your boss." Eren kicked his friend lightly in the stomach to wake him up where he was next to Annie a book opened between the two of them. Eren looked a bit jealous to. He'd barely seen his best friend he was always with Hanji or Annie. It was a bit sickening. If Armin fell in love with anyone he thought it'd be a girl like Christa sweet and innocent like him yet he'd fallen for a girl who probably beat on him. "Huh Eren what are you doing here, Annie Annie wake up sweetheart." Armin shook her gently smiling as she woke up. "Good morning Annie." He kissed her forehead disgusting Eren. "Well here Hanji told me to bring this to you, she said it was important. I guess I'll see you later without your girlfriend." He ran out of the library pissed that he'd found him with Annie again. At least they were fully dressed and not making out.
"What does the letter say Armin?" Annie leaned over his shoulder as he opened it nervously. What if all his insubordination caused him to be fired as Hanji's assistant. He really did love working with her even if he was the best at it.
"Armin Arlet.
You are for the next six months to a year devote yourself to complete titan study underneath me. You will no longer be going on scout missions until further notice. The reasons why shall be discussed in a private meeting with myself at 4 p. the training grounds. No you are not in trouble.
Hanji Zoe."
"I wonder what that means? You are going to the meeting right?" She looked at him her arms wrapped around his waist still not ready to wake up. She was actually very sweet and cuddly first thing in the morning when she wasn't quite awake yet. "Of course I have to, I'm dying to know why they're only taking me off missions, but I suppose that means you don't have to worry about me as much right?" She nuzzled into him as a form of agreement. "Come on I'll walk you home so you can change." He wished she'd always be so sweet. He knew that this was unusual but they'd had such a nice time just reading and him telling her about the ocean and how he was going to see it someday and that he was going to take her with him. When the titans were defeated they were going to run away together and get married. Annie never thought she'd want that but the more she fell in love with Armin the more she did. It was strange to fall in love. It felt bad yet good at the same time. "I love you Armin." She blushed shocked she said it first. "I love you to Annie." He grabbed her hand to walk her home.
"Armin sit down I'm glad you're here, why don't you sit?" She gestured to a spot next to her by the practice 3D maneuver gear. "We have some things to talk about." She tried to smile but it looked forced. She didn't want to tell a 15 year old boy anything about her personal life but this was who she had chosen so she would have to tell him. "You are now my personal assistant and will study a lot. I also need a member of my squad to temporarily be at home base at all times. They can't lose two active squad leaders at once even temporarily. "What do you mean are you not going on scouting missions either?" He looked at her his head tilted. "Armin LEvi and I have been very stupid lately and we are now dealing with the consequences and one of them is that I am temporarily not allowed on scouting missions. "And you are to stay here and undergo additional training with me and with Erwin. You will be studying titans and working on battle strategies." She didn't want to openly say that they needed someone there in case she went into labour while Levi was away. She wouldn't be able to get the medic herself.
"Why are you temporarily being removed?" He looked at her curiously having a slight suspicion already as he tried not to look at her midsection. "Armin Levi got me pregnant okay. You're dismissed." She wanted to get away from him. She knew she'd have to tell him but she hadn't want to. She got on her horse and started riding. She wanted to find Levi so he could just hold her, and sneak her some food. For the first time in weeks she felt hungry. If she was lucky he might be able to sway someone into giving her something to eat anything. She rode around town for awhile before she found him and jumped down to hug him. "Levi, Levi." Her eyes watered a bit and she clung to him a few people staring. "Do you need to go somewhere to talk?" "Levi I'm starving please please find me something to eat anything." She was on her knees now still clinging to him. Lots of people were staring as he took her arms off him. "I will find you something to eat just stop crying please it's embarrassing."
She grabbed him again and kissed him as a thank you and the people nearby giggled. "Come on Hanji lets just go to the market and find you some bread or something. He grabbed her hand and half led half dragged her to the nearest food stall.
