Fat tears rolled down Eren's chubby, todler face. Snot dribbled from his tiny nose. His face burned crimson and his tiny shoulder trembled with violent sobs. Tiny hands clenched his mother's pink skirt. And this had Carla very concerned.

"What's wrong dear?" She asked, wiping her hands on her apron. Eren wasn't one to cry over little things, not like most todlers. So for him to be bawling like this was a major concern.

"Daddy's mad a me," was the mumbled reply.

Carla dropped on one knee, looking her young son in the eye. Grisha had always been an odd ball, but that's why she loved him. But if he'd hurt her son then they were going to have a serious problem. She ran a comforting hand through his hair and asked, "Why do you think daddy's mad at you?"

"He yelled at me." The todler said. "He told me I wasn't allowed in the basement."

A small smile graced Carla's lips. So he hadn't hurt him, that's good. "Daddy doesn't let people in the basement. Even I'm not allowed down there. So he's not mad at you, he just doesn't want you down there."

"But why?" Eren asked, no longer crying.

Carla dried his tears and nose with the corner of her apron, thinking of an appropriot answer. Truthfully she didn't know what her husband did in their basement. She'd never asked and he'd never told her. "Its very improtant work stuff," she finally said. "If something gets messed up then he'll have to do it all over again. So its best if no one goes down there. Do you understand?"

The todler nodded slowly, teal eyes wide. A goofy smile suddenly spread across his face and he placed a wet kiss on her cheek. "I love you mommy."

"I love you too Eren."

AN: Yeah... his mom is dead. That was the only thing on my mind as I wrote this. So this is dedicated to Murithemagnificant. They suggested a pre-wall breach setting. For some reason this was really easy to write. Only took about half an hour. In other news I started school yesterday. And then slept for 12 hours when I got home. I want to thank everyone who reviewed last chapter. It made me so unbelievebly happy. So thank you.
