It came as a shock to everyone around them when they announced it. Jean and Connie both fell from their chair, Sasha dropped the bread she just stole, Armin fiddled his fingers awkwardly. Even Mikasa had an eyebrow slightly raised.
"You're pregnant?" Eren was the one who responded first with a loud shout.
Hange gave all of them a sheepish smile while a certain captain stood behind her with his usual stoic expression.
"And the father?" Jean supported himself up, sneaking a glance at Levi behind. It's kinda obvious but he just had to ask.
"There's only one male left, right?" Armin chuckled nervously as everyone's gaze shifted to their captain.
"Holy shit—"
Unsurprisingly, during the whole period of Hange's pregnancy, the now Levi Squad had a really tough time. True, titans were almost gone but Hange insisted on catching one of the remaining ones for more experiments. She really wanted to help Connie revert his mother back to her human form.
There was once when she grabbed Mikasa, Eren and Jean out on a so called secret mission. The three of them protested but before anyone could even go to Levi for help, they were already out of the walls with Hange. Levi went crazy when the remaining squad told him what had happened. Unfortunately for them, Levi made them clean the whole cafeteria with a toothbrush as a punishment. Even though it's been unused all these while.
Hange's mood swings were really one of a kind too. When an experiment failed, she would burst into tears without any warning. Armin, her now assistant always ended up going to Levi for help, tears in his eyes. Levi would sigh then asked Armin to take a break.
"It's been hard on you." Jean gave the blonde a gentle pat on his shoulder.
"Do you want some meat, Armin?" Sasha asked, a sorry look on her face. "I think you need it more than me now."
"How long more do we have to go through this?" It was Connie who brought up the question.
"And I don't think there will be any new recruits for a while." Eren slapped his hand against his forehead.
Silence took over the group but was soon replaced with loud groans.
Levi and his squad suffered for another few months before a beautiful baby boy was born. It almost seem like everything was back to normal. Or rather, the closest to what they could call normal in the Survey Corps. At least, they didn't had to put up with Hange's random mood swings anymore.
Although, there were actually new problems:
The baby boy (who had Levi's hair colour and Hange's eyes) and his pair of always arguing parents.
Over the most trivial things ever.
For the first few days, they would argue over what they should name him.
"We are NOT naming our son Bean!" Levi repeated himself for the umpteenth time, emphasising hard on the word 'not'.
"What about—"
"We are definitely not naming him Lucas either! We are not naming him after any of your previous titans!"
"Listen, you're NOT the one who had to go through what felt like taking the biggest shit ever. You have no rights to reject my proposal!"
"He's made with the help of my dick, I have all the rights."
Outside Levi's room, the younger soldiers turned around and walked away from the closed door.
"We will come back lat—" Jean muttered lifelessly. But before he could finish his sentence, the door opened abruptly with a loud 'bang'.
"Brats." He grabbed the one nearest to them who happened to be poor Sasha. "All of you are going to help brainstorm a name for the smaller brat."
Everyone else sighed.
Thank god for Armin's brain and way of speaking, the parents eventually took his advice and named their son, Jett. It could mean "protection" or "purification".
Things went quiet for six to seven months. Even though Levi made them clean the cabin twice as much as before or how the young soldiers had to keep running out for some errands. Each of them had changed Jett's diapers because his father, their captain refused to do it no matter what.
"What a father." Hange would always scoff.
Despite all these, the young soldiers thought it's still better than being get caught in between the arguments of Levi and Hange. Sometimes, they wondered how in the world did those two manage to make a baby together.
The peacefulness did not last that long.
After knowing that babies could start learning to speak as early as six months old, Hange had been trying to teach Jett how to say the word 'titans' instead of 'mama'. She started bringing Jett to her laboratory which, Armin tried to stop her.
In vain.
Of course, Levi had to step in again. He always had to and he can't have Jett's first word to be the one thing he wished to get rid of (along with dust).
And that was how the Levi Squad got caught in their mess again.
"Oi Shitty Glasses!" Levi's voice boomed as he opened the laboratory door with a loud bang, causing poor Armin to jump slightly. His eyes wandered around and saw Jett sitting on his special designed chair so he won't fall off. Jett was watching his mother walking around the lab although Armin doubted that he knew what Hange was doing.
However, Levi thought otherwise.
The shorter man strode towards the baby chair. When Jett noticed his father walked in, a wide smile grew on his face, followed by quiet giggles. Levi then picked the small Jett into his arms.
"Stop bringing Jett into your lab!" Levi glared at Hange with Jett giggling in his arms. That boy definitely got Hange's high spirit. "I'm not letting his first word to be titan."
"But Levi!" Hange whined, dragging out the 'i' at the back.
"Don't try that shit on me."
"Fine." Hange straightened herself and folded her arms. "But you won't be able to stop me from teaching him about titans."
Levi clicked his tongue as Armin nervously watched the interactions of his two superiors in front of him. Should he interrupt? Maybe not.
"Try me." Thankfully, Levi ended the argument before Armin needed to step in which he was really dreading it. The blonde let out a sigh of relief as Levi walked out of the lab.
"You little shit!" Hange yelled and ran after Levi. "Bring Jett back into the lab now!"
Armin sighed again, this time in exasperation as Hange's voice echoed through the hallway.
When will this ever end?
"LEVI!" Hange's loud voice reached the ears of Levi and his squad in the cafeteria before she even appeared. Everyone groaned quietly, knowing that it's going to be another messy argument between their superiors. However, Levi didn't seem fazed by it as he took a sip from his cup of tea.
"I think he's going to say something!" Hange's eyes glint with excitement as she held the baby in front of everyone.
The eyes of the younger soldiers widened as they all gathered in front of the baby who was now sitting in the middle of the table. It still awed them to have a human this small in the midst of them.
"Brats, move."
Everyone did as instructed, making a small space for Levi to step into. Their eyes were all glued onto the baby who was making some sound.
"Come on Jett, say it after me." Hange muttered excitedly but before the word could come out from her mouth, Levi slammed his hand over her mouth.
"Don't start that shit again." He whispered with a hint of warning in his tone.
For once, none of the squad was nervous about their arguments. Instead, they all had their eyes on the baby as Jett opened his mouth. After a few struggles, Jett's first word was out from his mouth.
"Shit."
Everyone blinked, silence took over for a brief moment.
"Hange, clean his shit."
"You shitty clean freak!"
"Stop doing that shit in front of him!"
"Don't try that shit on me."
Jean had to force a laugh down his throat. Eren facepalmed. Sasha and Connie lost it and unlike Jean's self control, both of them burst into laughter. Armin chuckled nervously.
Both Levi and Hange deadpanned.
Of course.
' i rewatched aot and get myself caught up with the manga too. so, my obsession with levihan is back and i have so many plot bunnies and headcanon in my mind, i really need to write them down. there's no specific timeline for this, i personally just want them to interact with the 104 squad more. just a quick humour to soothe our poor levihan hearts since chapter 115.
