Monday, December 1st.
Dear...
Well, I'm not sure what to call you yet because Mikasa and I haven't discussed baby names yet. But, this is the first entry of my journal I'm writing to you. I got the idea from this old show that I watched when I was younger. I don't remember the name of it, but I do remember that the main character made video diaries for her baby sister. I always thought that was a cute concept, but I don't have a camcorder so you get to read these instead. With that out of the way, I guess I'll give you a little insight into what your parents are going through.
I'm in the middle of my third month and close to my fourth month of pregnancy. Your Sire and I just started living together after some recent events and everything's been fine. I'm actually pleasantly surprised that we haven't argued with each other, aside from our meaningless bickering. I guess living together has forced us to actually get along for once and work together. It's not a bad thing though. I'm looking forward to her and I using this newfound teamwork to take care of you. Your Sire is still a bit stupid when it comes to simple things like doing her own laundry, but she's coming around. I can never understand how your grandma babied Mikasa all the way into her teen years just because of their Alpha status. If you come out an Alpha, I'm making sure you don't end up like your Sire, or else you're going to be like her, barely learning how to do dishes at seventeen years old.
But enough about your Sire's terrible life skills. Despite her lack of knowledge in cooking and cleaning, she's a very hard worker. Ever since she got suspended from school, she's been working hard to support us. I told her that I'm getting a job too so that I can help out, but I'm pretty sure she's secretly against that idea. I can't blame her though. She has that mentality that as an Alpha she has to do everything for an Omega. I've been trying to move her away from those ideas and I think I'm somewhat getting through. Hopefully, by the time you're here, she won't be a stone-faced Alpha anymore. However, if she doesn't change, I don't think you and I have to worry. Your Sire turns into a big puppy when they're alone with us. She's very excited for you to come and I am too… Even if it is a little scary…
Well, it was scary at first, but since everything had calmed down, it feels like everything is somewhat back to normal. I finished my soccer season by sitting on the bench and surprisingly still had scholarships being offered to me. I guess me taking the bench showed some type of maturity to others? I don't know, but it still doesn't make sense to me.
No one else knows that you're on the way yet, except for your aunts and uncles. They're just as excited as your parents though. Everyone's probably going to spoil you. I'll make sure you won't get TOO spoiled. I'll be damned if you turn into a little brat. I'm going to wrap up this journal entry for today. I don't have much else to speak about today. Your Sire is coming home from practice soon and I'm going to make us some dinner. So I'll speak to you later, my son/daughter, I can't wait to see you.
Your mother, Annie.
Annie closed the journal she was writing in and put it away for safekeeping. She hadn't told Mikasa about the journal entries she had written, only because she was never around to see Annie writing in it. Annie was sure that Mikasa wouldn't care about her writing their child journals. She just hoped that the younger girl wouldn't ask to write in them. She could already see Mikasa's bland-ass journal entries, and yes, they might be hilarious, but Annie didn't want her ruining the lovely aesthetic she had made. If Mikasa really wanted to write an entry, then Annie guessed she'd allow it but that was a thought for another day.
After putting the journal away, she made her way downstairs to start on her and Mikasa's dinner. She had somewhat fallen into a certain schedule since living with Mikasa. At the moment, Mikasa was still suspended so she was going to work, football practice, then coming home to do her schoolwork, not leaving much time for her to do anything else. So as Annie promised, she took care of Mikasa's needs. They'd both wake up around the same time and while Mikasa was getting ready, Annie would make them a quick little breakfast. For Mikasa's lunch, it was usually leftovers from their dinner. Then, Annie would start on dinner about thirty minutes before Mikasa got home from practice.
Now, Annie may have preached that she wouldn't become a housewife for Mikasa. She still didn't want to, but Annie had to admit that it was enjoyable at times. Seeing how happy Mikasa got over a plate of food was truly adorable, especially since all she knew how to make were eggs. And that was only because Annie showed her how to make them back during summer vacation. Mikasa not knowing how to cook really was the least of her worries when it came to everything else. Annie didn't know someone could be coddled to the extent that Mikasa was. Within the first week of living together, Annie learned that Mikasa didn't know how to do dishes or laundry. She didn't even know how to fold clothing correctly! Mikasa's mother was literally setting her up with the belief that another Omega would take care of her.
Thankfully, Mikasa wasn't against learning how to do these household chores when Annie said she was going to teach her. She was also a quick learner, so the whole process went rather quickly. Annie did however get a few stares from Mrs. Ackerman for all of this. She had a slight suspicion that Mrs. Ackerman didn't like her for making Mikasa a self-sufficient Alpha. Annie really didn't care if she was being honest. If Mrs. Ackerman felt insulted in any way, then so be it. Maybe she should've raised her daughter correctly instead of coddling her since birth, even more so when she found out that Mikasa was an Alpha.
It was completely ridiculous to dislike her over this, too! Annie wasn't even forcing Mikasa to do extra chores around the house! She literally promised to take care of the household stuff because of their situation. The Omega just wanted to reach her dumb Alpha how to function properly since they were expecting a child. Annie just needed to know that Mikasa could be competent enough to do things without her being there. So far from what she had seen and taught her, Annie was sure that her stupid Alpha would be fine.
Annie was sure Mrs. Ackerman wouldn't come to bug her about it though, so it wasn't a big issue for her. The moment it did become an issue though, Annie wasn't sure if she'd be able to bite her tongue. There were just too many things she planned to say towards the woman if they ever got into an argument over it. Enough of that, though. Annie put her inner turmoil on pause to start dinner. She decided on making something simple because she took a little too long internally ranting about her partner's mother.
She put two cups of rice into the rice cooker and closed its top, letting it cook as she prepared the main dish. Annie went for a simple garlic chicken dish with sautéed mixed vegetables on the side. It wasn't anything too extraordinary, but Mikasa would eat anything she made, so it really didn't matter at all. As long as Mikasa ate, then that's all that really mattered to Annie. If the Alpha did have anything bad to say about her cooking, then she could go find dinner for herself because Annie wasn't going to cook for someone ungrateful. But she knew Mikasa would never do that. The Alpha was too head over heels over her to do something like that.
Annie suddenly paused as the realization that Mikasa was head over heels for her finally set in. It was a little concerning if Annie was completely honest. For some reason, it felt… fake... It also didn't help that Mikasa treated their relationship like nothing ever happened at first. So of course Annie was still skeptical if Mikasa's feelings were true or not. Part of her believed that Mikasa wasn't actually in love with her and that they were only together because of their child. It made sense as to why Mikasa switched from pretending Annie didn't exist to wanting to love and take care of her, but then there were moments where Annie thought otherwise; some of which were how Mikasa remembered the specific details of a food order or how there was some deeper connection that appears here and there.
"God… your parents are a mess," Annie mumbled as she laid her free hand atop her pregnant belly. With her other hand, she returned to preparing their dinner. She kept telling herself that they'd figure out what their relationship was by their baby's arrival, but Annie feared that whatever relationship they had might disappear after her pregnancy.
"Just don't think about it… you and Mikasa already put your child first before anything else, and no matter what your relationship is, you're just stressing yourself out for no reason."
The rice cooker clicked, indicating that it was done cooking and that it was time for Annie to prepare the plates. She piled a hefty amount of rice onto Mikasa's plate alongside two pieces of chicken, then topped it off with just as many vegetables. Right when she finished making Mikasa's plate, the young Alpha arrived home. Without any hesitation, Mikasa went straight to Annie and planted a quick kiss on her lips before taking the plate of food. Annie felt her doubt from earlier disappear at that moment.
Her heart fluttered immensely from the kiss Mikasa had given her, but she felt a bit silly. Mikasa had been doing this every day since they started living together. She would wake up, get ready, kiss Annie, then go to work or practice and give her another kiss once she got home. It was just her usual schedule, yet it still had Annie all worked up. Mikasa didn't even say anything until they were both sitting down and eating, so there really wasn't anything besides the kiss to get Annie going. She pushed her growing flustered state away and put whatever amount of focus she had left into making her own plate, which was a little less than what she gave Mikasa. Mikasa was still doing football on top of going to work, so it only made sense for her to consume much more calories than Annie. Although, whatever calories Annie didn't get from regular meals she got through consuming copious amounts of sweets.
Annie finished serving herself before sitting right next to Mikasa, not saying anything until the younger girl spoke first. To anyone around them, the dynamic between them seemed toxic or highly questionable, but it wasn't. Mikasa wasn't forcing Annie to keep quiet until she was spoken to or anything. Ever since they started living together, they came to find that they didn't need to exchange any words to feel comfortable. They had literally gone hours without speaking to each other and it wasn't awkward in the slightest. Annie should have expected this type of relationship dynamic between them since they were both the quiet and stoic types, to begin with. She shouldn't be surprised that their favorite pastime was sitting next to each other quietly.
"Thank you for dinner, Annie. It tastes good. How was your day? Did anything new happen while I was gone?" she said as she munched on another piece of garlic chicken.
"Nope, I went straight home from school and did all my homework, then I cleaned up a bit around our room. You need to start putting your dirty socks in their designated bag, by the way. I'm sick of finding random socks of yours all over our room."
Annie raised her eyes from her dinner to send a glare towards Mikasa, actually at her limit with finding the woman's socks in any and every area you could think of.
"I don't mean to leave them everywhere. Sometimes I just kick them off while we're sleeping or I just forget about them. Why do we even have a designated bag for them? They're literally just dirty laundry, so it can go in the big hamper. You're just making this harder than it needs to be, Annie."
Here came the bickering, another thing that was rather prominent in their day-to-day life under the same roof. It never really escalated beyond their dumb insults and passive-aggressive attitudes towards each other, but it was still unnecessary. Most of it was resolved within ten minutes anyway, so it wasn't really a big issue, just a slight inconvenience.
"We have a designated bag because it's hard to keep track of your fucking socks when they're thrown in with the other laundry, Mikasa. I'm not making anything difficult. If anything, you're the one making my life a pain by not separating your socks! When you just throw them in with your regular laundry, then I have to take time out of my day to separate them. If you already separated them in the first place, then I wouldn't take longer doing laundry!"
"Okay, I'll use the bag! No need to get all angry. I understand now," Mikasa said in defense, shutting down their bickering as quickly as possible.
"I'm sorry for saying you're trying to make it harder. Here, I'll wash our dishes after we finish. You've already done enough today and I want to at least do this for you."
Annie felt her irritation slowly simmer away when Mikasa apologized and said she'd do the dishes. She actually hated it; ever since she started spending extra time around the Alpha, Annie found herself unable to stay angry at Mikasa for long periods of time. She would apologize right away and even offer to do something to make it better. Annie hated it but loved it at the same time, just like everything else that involved Mikasa.
"Fine…You better wash the dishes correctly like how I showed you, though. I'd rather not have to rewash your dishes because my way of doing things was making it "harder" for you."
"Ugh, you won't let me live this down, will you?"
"I literally had to teach you how to do dishes and laundry, yet YOU try to tell me I'm making it harder. I'm going to hold this over your head as long as I want."
After finishing their usual bickering and eating, Mikasa gathered up everything that was dirty before placing them into the sink. Annie stuck around for a moment to remind Mikasa of what to do before she was shooed away. Mikasa knew what she was doing, for the most part. She definitely didn't need Annie hovering over her the entire time, but Mikasa did enjoy Annie's presence when she was doing things like washing dishes. It made her feel like a domesticated family Alpha who was giving her hardworking Omega a break. That was another reason why she didn't want Annie to stay near her. Right now, Annie deserved some alone time that didn't involve doing chores.
'Hopefully, she's actually taking this time to herself and not cleaning the bathroom or something…'
Mikasa appreciated Annie doing most of the chores but she knew that Annie didn't like being a housewife. That was the main reason why she didn't mind learning how to do these chores. Mikasa had already pissed her off at the start of their relationship by expecting Annie to do everything. Mikasa also wanted to learn as much as she could when it came to chores before their child came since Annie wouldn't be able to do much other than use the bathroom and probably feed their child. It also helped Mikasa to not get used to having Annie do everything for her. Sure, her selfish inner Alpha actually enjoyed having Annie being at home but Mikasa knew her Omega didn't enjoy it.
Also, it really wasn't hard to learn, if Mikasa was being honest. She didn't understand why her mother was against teaching her these simple skills. Well, she did know, but Mikasa didn't want to think her mother was against Omegas being anything else than stay-at-home mothers. She liked to think her mother was rather progressive in certain things… That was a conversation for another day though. She didn't feel like thinking about her mother's views while doing some dishes.
Pushing the thoughts of her mother away for the moment, Mikasa put her full attention into washing the dishes. She made sure to follow each step that Annie taught her and rewashed them so the Omega wouldn't complain that she missed something. She even washed the Tupperware that held her lunch so that Annie didn't have to do it later. Maybe she'd pack her own lunch so Annie wouldn't have to get up early again. Mikasa glanced over to see if there were enough leftovers to pack her lunch. There weren't. It looked like they finished everything except for some rice and veggies, which wouldn't be enough, but Mikasa could cook up some eggs as a substitute for the chicken. It wasn't as much protein compared to chicken, but Mikasa didn't mind. If it meant Annie could relax more, then she could deal with it.
"Mikasa? Why are you here by yourself?"
"AH!" Mikasa flinched at the sudden voice of her mother and took a moment to calm down. She let out a soft chuckle and shut off the water.
"Mom! Don't sneak up on me like that. You nearly gave me a heart attack!" she said as she grabbed her Tupperware.
"Also, I told Annie that dish duty was on me tonight. She's been doing all the work around here and I wanted her to relax. I finished rather quickly so it's not that big of an issue."
Hearing that her daughter did the dishes didn't sit right with Mrs. Ackerman, even if the young Alpha made the choice on her own. She found it quite insulting that Annie would allow Mikasa to do the dishes, especially when she knew that her daughter is working hard. Mrs. Ackerman believed that Annie should have taken over the chore even if Mikasa said she would do it. Mikasa offering to take over should be more than enough for the Omega. If Mrs. Ackerman was being honest, she didn't appreciate Annie making Mikasa do things for herself. Her daughter was already tired from doing football, school, and working for them, so why should she need to do anything else? Annie was being inconsiderate of Mikasa's mental state.
"You shouldn't have felt the need to do the dishes in the first place, Mikasa. You're a hard-working Alpha that's doing so much already. Annie should've taken up the chore without any hesitation. You know I don't appreciate Annie having you do so many chores, especially when you have so much on your plate. I hate to tell you this, Mikasa but you need to speak with your Omega. She's completely out of line and it's like she's the one running the relationship. If you don't do it, then I'll get involved and solve the issue myself."
Mikasa was completely taken back by her mother's sudden irritation against Annie, which was all caused by Mikasa wanting to do the dishes for once. She didn't think it was so much of an issue; Mikasa just wanted to help Annie out. If anything, she expected her mother to pride her on taking some of the workload off Annie's back. Either way, Mikasa wasn't going to talk back to her mother, especially not at a time like this. Mikasa feared that she might be one argument away from getting kicked out, so she decided to keep quiet and nod her head, then made false promises about talking to Annie about her attitude.
There wasn't anything to speak with Annie about. Mikasa was fine with how their relationship was at the moment. They weren't arguing about anything major and were actually getting along rather well. But, she'd humor her mother for now and pretend like she spoke to Annie about it. How was she going to do that? Simple. Just don't do chores when her mother is home. That way, she'd be able to avoid any type of confrontation while still managing to help Annie out. Was it ridiculous that she had to keep doing chores a secret? Oh, absolutely, but Mikasa didn't want to argue with her mother and she definitely didn't want Annie to get involved.
After hearing her girlfriend get chewed out for not being a willing housewife Omega, Mikasa decided to opt-out of packing her lunch. She also decided to tell Annie that she'd just buy herself some lunch the next day. That way, Annie wouldn't have to run into her mother and get harassed. In fact, Mikasa was probably just going to try and keep Annie away from her mother.
"Thank you for your concern, Mother… I'll make sure to speak with her later. I'll be on my way now."
Annie was surprised to see Mikasa back in their room so quickly. She thought Mikasa would take a long while to do those dishes. That's why she decided to hop in the shower since she was expecting Mikasa to be barely finishing up by the time the shower was over. Annie guessed she was wrong; maybe Mikasa was more proficient in doing chores than she thought. She was sort of proud that Mikasa was becoming more self-sufficient but Annie knew the Alpha's mother would despise her for it. Oh well. Annie could care less about what goes on in that woman's head. All she had to worry about was her baby and her relationship with Mikasa. Which, by the way, was going rather well as of late. Annie wasn't ready to make their relationship status official just yet. That would be debated another time.
"Didn't expect you to be up here already. If I'm being honest, I expected you to take like an hour or so," Annie said as she plopped down on their shared bed.
"Thank you, my darling Annie. It really warms my heart to hear you think I'm not capable of doing something basic like dishes."
Mikasa turned around from her desk to look and talk to Annie head-on. She wasn't actually offended that Annie expected her to take longer. The Omega had good reason to expect that of her, especially when looking back to the first time Mikasa was learning. There were soap suds everywhere, the bottom of her shirt was soaked, and her sleeves were drenched because she forgot to roll them up. It was understandable for Annie to think so little of her when it came to the chore department, but the woman should have a LITTLE bit of faith in her.
"Oh, you know I'm just teasing you, Mikasa. I know you're more than capable of doing things. It's just funny to see you get all annoyed," Annie said in reply, even though she actually meant what she said about thinking Mikasa would take longer.
"I know you are. It doesn't bother me at all. Did you enjoy your shower? I already took one after football practice in the locker room. I wanted to come home, eat dinner, then hop straight into doing homework and that's what I'm doing right now. I'll join you in bed afterward."
With that, Mikasa turned right back around and continued to do her homework, leaving Annie to do whatever and anything she pleased. Seeing Mikasa return to her work made Annie's heart ache; she was working so hard and never got a break. It only fueled Annie's desire to find a job and help out Mikasa. She didn't want Mikasa to continue to overwork herself, especially when they had a child on the way. So, she tried to show her appreciation. The Omega crept over to Mikasa then ever so slowly wrapped her arms around the woman, pushing her calm and caring pheromones onto her and let them settle in before pressing a sweet kiss to her cheek.
"Thank you for working so hard. I know you're probably extremely tired with all the things that are happening." Annie spoke softly, wanting to keep a calm aura around them.
"I don't mind working hard to support you and my future child. I'm a little tired, but it doesn't matter. If doing all of this means everything will work out in the end, then I'm fine with that. Don't feel bad or anything, Annie. I told you that I'm fine with taking care of you."
Mikasa enjoyed that Annie was a little worried for her, even if the blonde didn't outright say it. She also appreciated Annie thanking her for her hard work. It felt good to receive praise from Annie, especially after their relationship had a rocky start. It showed that they were not only doing better but growing as a whole.
"I don't feel bad," she lied. "I just don't want you burnt out by the time our baby comes, you dummy."
Annie huffed, trying to play it off as if she didn't care that much, but Mikasa could see right through her and couldn't stop herself from laughing. She shook her head at how tough Annie was trying to seem around her.
"Mmmhmm, whatever you say, Annie. I know you secretly feel bad that I'm working myself to the bone. But I'm telling you right now that I'm fine with everything and I'm not going to be burnt out." Mikasa turned her head and pecked Annie's cheek to really solidify her word.
"Hmm… You better not because I'm not going to slave away at taking care of this baby alone."
"Maybe I'll do it on purpose just to spite you."
"You do that and you'll be kicked out of your own bed, Ackerman."
Monday, December 7th.
Dear little pup,
Nothing too hectic has happened in the last couple of days since I've written, but there are some things I want to catch you up on. I just got back with your sire from my first prenatal appointment which should've been done months ago. Thankfully, they weren't judgmental. I guess it's common for mothers to not know they're pregnant for the first few months so they always miss out. Either way, everything seems to be fine and you are very healthy. We also got to see you for the first time today! I swear, your sire nearly passed out once you showed up on the ultrasound screen. She was so excited to show off your photo to her friends like you were some collectible card or something. It was extremely cute to see how happy she was though, so I'll let it slide for now.
I haven't shown my friends your photo yet. I kind of wanted to keep it personal for a little bit longer. Considering your sire already presented you to her friends, I'm sure mine will start asking soon. Eren has a big mouth so I fully expect Reiner to contact me soon and complain about how I didn't show him yet. It's okay, though. I've enjoyed my time keeping you to myself for as long as I could.
Enough of them, though. Mikasa will be leaving soon for an out-of-state game. She'll be away for about a week because she's playing in a championship tournament. I was asked to come along, but I'm not sure if it's such a good idea. She should be having fun with the other Alphas there and not worry about getting back to her pregnant partner. Also, I don't want to embarrass her just by being there. I'm pretty sure she hasn't announced that I'm pregnant to anyone else on the team yet, so I don't want them to start assuming things. I know she told her coach, especially after Mr. Smith told her to. That's why Mikasa asked me to come along in the first place. Apparently, her coach already approved of me going if I wanted to, but I'm still not sure if I want to…
Maybe I'll think about it more, but I don't have a huge time frame until Mikasa leaves… Geez, if I do come along, it's going to be so embarrassing sitting on the bus with a bunch of smelly Alphas. They're all probably going to stare at me, too… Ugh, maybe I won't go just to avoid being put in that situation. Like I said though, I'll think about it.
I'm going to close this out right here for today. I'm currently writing this in English class instead of paying attention. I also missed like half the school day already so I probably should start paying some attention to the classes I have left. Anyway, your mother is doing fine and I'm very excited to see more of you. I can't wait till my next ultrasound!
Love, your mother, Annie.
Annie returned her attention to the teacher before her, although she wasn't taking in much information, to begin with. She had already arrived late, got distracted, and had no idea what her teacher was saying; it was something about a new book they'd be reading in class or something. Annie was sure she could just bug Ymir for more information about it later. Or, she could bug Mikasa. The younger Alpha was actually ahead of most people in certain classes because of her independent studies, so she'd probably know what was happening. Annie was sure that Mikasa would even do her work if she asked her to. Considering Mikasa was busy as hell, though, she wouldn't dare burden her with more work.
Annie hated to say it, but she yearned for her idiot. Since she was still suspended, she couldn't be with Annie for the rest of the day. Annie found it a bit ridiculous, especially since they already saw each other every day. It wasn't all that bad, though, since this was actually Mikasa's last week of suspension. Once it was over, she'd be able to see her at school again… But, she'd be gone the next week because of her upcoming tournament. Annie found herself internally groaning at the thought of Mikasa actually being away from her for a full week, but she still was unsure about whether or not she should go with Mikasa on her trip. She was incredibly torn; on one hand, she wouldn't be able to see Mikasa for a week. On the other, she might ruin Mikasa's entire experience if she were to come along. How would she ruin it? Annie wasn't entirely sure, but she just felt like she'd screw everything up.
Once again, she decided to push those thoughts away for now. She still had time to make her decision later. As she was ignoring her thoughts, a soft buzz came from her phone. Annie immediately glanced over at it and smiled as a message from Mikasa popped up.
From: Mikasa Ackerman
It's boring just sitting here and doing nothing. I wish I could sit in class if I'm being honest… Want me to pick you up some lunch? McDonald's? I'm free until football practice and I want to do something.
Annie couldn't stop herself from smiling at her phone. Mikasa could be so cute sometimes. The Omega quickly glanced around her before replying.
From: Annie Leonhardt
You want to bring me lunch? If I wasn't pregnant, I would've suspected that you had a crush on me ;) But yes, I'd like some McDonalds. I'll take a chicken nugget meal with two double cheeseburgers, please.
Mikasa replied within seconds.
From: Mikasa Ackerman
Always trying to find a way to bully me, even when I'm being nice .-. ! But copy that. Want me to bring it to the front office so you can pick it up? Or do you want me to bring it to you?
Realistically, Mikasa should drop it off at the front for Annie, but Annie wanted to see the stupid Alpha so she went with their other option.
From: Annie Leonhardt
Hmm, I'd like you to personally bring it to me. Maybe even stay for lunchtime? We could have Reiner's gorilla ass hide you from the view of the staff members. If I'm being entirely honest, though, I don't think anyone's going to really care.
From: Mikasa Ackerman
I think I'll be able to do that. If someone does confront me, then I'll just say that I was getting something from my locker or that I needed to speak to my coach. See you soon!
"Where are those baby photos, Annie?"
Annie couldn't even take a seat without being questioned by her friends. Her suspicions were correct; Eren opened his stupid little mouth to Reiner. She tried to ignore him at first, taking her time to get comfortable on the shitty school lunch tables. She would've started eating, but Mikasa was currently parking and Annie was NOT going to walk all the way to their student parking lot. Still, she tried to ignore Reiner until Mikasa came. Unfortunately, Ymir decided to join in.
"Wait, you have baby photos now? Like ultrasound photos? And you haven't SHOWED us yet?"
"I know right?! Apparently, Eren and Armin already saw them, even though we were here for Annie way before them!"
"What do you mean 'we?' I'm the one who took her to get the pregnancy test! I also comforted her even before we knew, yet you show those two before me? And here I thought we were besties."
Annie rolled her eyes and picked up her bag to retrieve the photos from earlier, all the while explaining why Eren and Armin got to see them first.
"It wasn't even my choice for them to see it first. Mikasa got overly excited and showed them. I'm not even sure if they got to see them in real life. I think Mikasa sent the photos through text. But so you guys can get off my ass, here are the photos."
She plopped the thin long piece of paper in front of her friends and they reacted like wild animals. Ymir immediately snatched the photos and Reiner tried to get them from her. Meanwhile, Bertholdt just leaned back and looked at them over Ymir's shoulder. One of the many pleasures of being someone his height.
"Hey! Stop that! I don't want you to rip them! Reiner, keep your hands to yourself and wait for your damn turn!" She busted out her angry Omega pheromones and Reiner immediately receded his motions.
Annie's pheromones were feeling rather similar to one of a mother's, and Reiner's instincts didn't fight against them. Ymir noticed this right away and let out an entertained laugh, this was getting too good.
"Holy shit, Annie has those mother pheromones now! God, she's going to use those against you now! Hah!"
"Hey! You're literally an Alpha, too! If she uses them against me, then you're going to get them too!"
"Yeah, yeah, whatever you say," Ymir said as she looked at the ultrasound photos, a small smile making its way to her face.
There was a different aura surrounding Ymir now. Annie wasn't sure if the others could sense it, but she sure did. She raised a brow and looked at Ymir, trying to figure out why her aura shifted. Finally, Ymir passed the photos to Reiner and caught Annie's gaze. Annie opened her mouth to question it but stopped when Mikasa plopped a bag of McDonald's in front of her.
"Had a little trouble getting onto campus because Hange questioned why I was here and my lies weren't working. Although, when I told them the truth, they let me walk straight in."
Annie immediately opened the bag and retrieved a fry before replying.
"Mmm, that's because Hange knows I'm pregnant. They probably connected the dots at that moment and figured you're the sire."
"Didn't know we were sharing the secret with teachers now." Mikasa took her seat next to Annie and unconsciously wrapped an arm around the Omega.
"I mean, they only know because they're the one who fixed my nose. I know of all people, you're not giving me crap for telling a teacher. You literally used my pregnancy as a bargaining chip with Mr. Smith."
"For the last time Annie, I-"
"I really don't understand how you two can live together when the littlest thing can set you off," Reiner said while looking up from the baby photos.
Annie took another fry into her mouth and chuckled. It was true. The littlest thing did set them off into a bickering mess, but it wasn't really an issue in their relationship. Their bickering wasn't even that serious, considering Mikasa literally had her arm wrapped around Annie. To everyone else though, it probably seemed like they were going through their third divorce.
"We're actually not that bad. You guys only see our bickering, but that's not our entire relationship. As you can see, Mikasa is a big baby who brings me McDonald's whenever I ask. If our relationship was truly terrible, then she would leave me to starve."
Ymir chuckled and reached into the McDonald's bag to steal a fry, earning herself a death glare from Annie. She ignored it, of course, and proceeded to eat said fry. It probably wasn't the best idea since Annie flipped the conversation onto Ymir.
"Enough about me and Mikasa's relationship. Where the hell have you been, Ymir? You've been absent during break time and you only randomly show up at lunchtime."
Ymir froze as Annie confronted her about being absent from their friend group. She tried to think of some excuse for her absence, but Annie would probably know she was lying. So, she stole another fry and decided to come clean.
"I recently got back in contact with Historia because I wanted to apologize and clear any bad blood between us. Our relationship ended on a bad note, so I felt like it was needed. As for being absent, we made up and have been hanging out during break time. We're not like… together, or anything. We're just talking."
Everyone seemed to be surprised about this new discovery. Even Mikasa seemed intrigued.
"Oh, so YOU'RE Historia's ex. I had a suspicion that you were. She didn't really mention who it was. She just gave a vague description. Yeah, you screwed her over big time, she was really emotionless when I spoke to her. What even happened between you two?"
Ymir tensed up at the question Mikasa asked and Annie made sure to direct their conversation somewhere else.
"You know Historia? She's younger than both of us."
"Yeah, I know her. We went to elementary and middle school together. We were somewhat close until I went to high school. We formed a somewhat sexual relationship at the beginning of summer vacation, but it didn't really work out. She was just… dead inside… Barely ever expressed any actual emotion. I got to meet her niece though. She always seemed to be happy around her at least. Can't blame Historia though. The baby was very cute."
"Wait, you're telling me you fucked Historia only like a month or two before we started hooking up? Ugh, you're just like any other Alpha. Jumping from girl to girl, huh?"
"Come on, Annie. We weren't even talking to each other. This happened right after school ended. Historia had been absent from school for a while for some family things, and when she reappeared, we ended up speaking again because it was the first time I had seen her in a while. Then, we hooked up for a straight week and that was it. It was fun at first because I was just excited to have sex since I was a virgin. It started to feel weird, though. She would lay there emotionless most of the time and I kind of ended it there…"
An uncomfortable silence fell upon the group after Mikasa explained herself and nobody was sure what to say. Annie was a little irritated that Mikasa hooked up with another girl, despite the fact that they were not even a thing at the time. It was funny because Annie never really took herself as a jealous type, but she was still angry that Mikasa was technically sleeping around. She could've gotten a disease or something! Annie didn't know if Mikasa was using protection or not! However, she kept all these worries non-vocal. They already bickered once today and she didn't feel like doing it again.
Meanwhile, Ymir was on edge ever since Mikasa started speaking. She knew Historia took the break up hard. There was a terrible reason for it to happen in general. They already talked it out and made amends, but she was afraid Mikasa knew everything that happened, even though Mikasa seemed to not know what happened at all. Ymir didn't want Mikasa to view her in some bad light, especially since she was currently fixing everything between her and Historia. Since Mikasa didn't cuss her out at that moment, she probably didn't know the deeper reasons for their break up. Still, she was worried that Mikasa actually knew and was waiting to use it against her one day.
While those two were thinking deeply about this particular situation, Reiner and Bert watched from the sidelines. Both of them did not know if it was appropriate or not to participate in the conversation. So, for the remainder of their lunchtime, they all sat in silence.
Everything seemed… strained after the conversation at lunchtime. Annie hated to say it, but she was rather jealous about the whole Historia thing. Realistically, Annie shouldn't be since it was way before she and Mikasa were even interested in each other. But… there was just something about how Mikasa dropped Historia after a week. Like, yeah, she might've been having issues, especially since what Ymir did was probably extremely mentally draining. But, that was no reason to just drop her. Mikasa didn't even try to speak with Historia and find out why she was so emotionless. Then again, she didn't know the extent of their agreed-upon relationship, but… it felt like Historia was used by Mikasa.
She didn't want to bring it up either, since it wasn't her place to speak; she and Mikasa weren't even together at that time. Although, she was pregnant with Mikasa's child and she felt a bit worried about the Alpha's past relationship. If Mikasa could drop Historia just like that, then who's to say she wouldn't do the same to her? The Omega groaned and knew she was probably psyching herself out, but she couldn't help but worry.
"Hey, you stayed for my entire practice. I thought you would've had Ymir drive you home." Mikasa's words snapped Annie out of her thoughts as soon as she spoke.
Annie raised her head and locked eyes with Mikasa. Almost immediately, Mikasa knew something was off with Annie. There was a certain look in the woman's eyes and a shift in pheromones that Annie couldn't hide. It was something that only a few Alphas that were close to an Omega could notice, even more so now that she and Annie were linked together through their baby.
"Annie, what's wrong? Is it because of the whole Historia thing? I told you that it only lasted a week and it was way before we were even together. It's not like I'm still going after her or anything. You already know that I'm literally only about you."
Mikasa wasted no time in wrapping her arms around Annie, smothering the woman in calming pheromones that were a little bit stronger than usual because of her post-workout scent. Annie hated it, but she also loved it. She hated it because Mikasa almost always fixed their issues with her scent, but that was the same reason why she loved it. The stupid Alpha had her so conflicted over a lot recently.
"It's not that I'm worried about you going after Historia again. Just… The way you spoke about Historia rubbed me the wrong way. Ymir told me about what happened between them and you should've at least tried to speak with Historia. It made me think that you'd leave a relationship if it got even slightly complicated. I'm sorry, but I'm worried that you'll go and ditch me."
Annie pushed herself out of Mikasa's arms and the Alpha knew immediately that they needed to talk. She sighed and kept the distance between them, but still maintained eye contact. Mikasa wanted to reach out and hold Annie's hands to be comforting but instead released calming pheromones, hoping that they would have the same effect as she spoke to Annie about the issue.
"Annie, I don't know if you've noticed, but we've already been through so much and yet I'm still here. We've probably had the most complicated relationship I've ever experienced, and yet I'm still here with you, Annie. I'm not going to leave you. We're living together and have a baby on the way. You'd have to get a restraining order if you wanted to get away from me… That sounded a bit bad… but what I mean is I'm not going to leave even if we're going through a rough patch. To clear some things up about Historia, we didn't have a plan to be in an actual relationship. It was just a fling and we actually ended on good terms. The way I talked about her earlier sounded terrible, so I'm sorry for that. I promise you I'm not an Alpha who uses Omegas and then throws them away. I mean, come on Annie, it took me this long to even lose my virginity. If I was one of those Alphas, then I would've lost it long ago."
Mikasa's mix of words and pheromones did its job of calming Annie down. She was glad Mikasa actually spoke about it instead of brushing everything away. It showed that Mikasa really cared about her feelings and their… relationship? Yet again, Annie didn't know what to call their relationship. She supposed that they were dating now, but they weren't officially together… It didn't matter. They were doing fine for now and Annie would rather not confuse herself with more relationship talk.
"Okay… Thank you for clearing that up… I don't know why I was so worried about you leaving me. I should've taken into consideration how our relationship has been up until now. If you haven't left me now, then yeah, you're never going to leave me. I've really been overthinking things these days."
"You're telling me. I didn't think it would bug you that I had sex with our people before we started hooking up."
Annie raised a brow and stared at Mikasa after she replied.
"What do you mean by "other people"? Did you have sex with someone else other than Historia?"
Mikasa froze up and went quiet, not knowing if she should tell Annie the truth… Considering that Annie was fine with the whole Historia thing, then it shouldn't really matter… Right?
"Well, um, after Historia, I hooked up with a few other girls. But this was all before we started having sex! I fucked Mina, like, twice, then I had a thing going on with Sasha. But when you and I started having sex, I called it off because it'd be gross to have two different sexual partners at once."
Annie couldn't believe what she was hearing. She couldn't believe that Mikasa was sleeping around in general considering how quiet and conservative she seemed. Now, here she was hearing about the many girls Mikasa had slept around with. IN SUCH A SMALL TIME FRAME TOO! Annie was her fourth partner and she wasn't so sure how to feel about that. She furrowed her brows together and crossed her arms, sending an intense glare towards Mikasa's way.
"You're telling me that I'm the fourth girl you've slept with?! God, Mikasa, you say you're not like other Alphas but you've literally slept with four girls in the span of what? Three months? I'm surprised that I didn't catch a fucking disease from your reckless sex!"
"No! I used protection every time! The only one I had sex without protection was with you and only you! Okay, maybe I was a bit of a slutty Alpha, but I was just trying to have fun before Senior year started! After getting with you, I stopped messing around with any other girls! You were my last! During those few months of us not talking, I didn't sleep with anyone else! Come on, Annie! You can't get angry with me about this! You've had sex with other people too!"
"Yeah, I did, but it was with only ONE other person and I was with him for like a year and a half or so! Meanwhile, you were going around fucking all of your Omega friends! God, you're lucky I don't embarrass your ass!"
"Okay, I already established that I was a whore. I'm not like that anymore, okay? You literally have me on a leash, Annie! ...Soooooo, we're all good now, right?"
A silence fell upon the two, which scared Mikasa. She didn't know what Annie had planned, but thankfully, there didn't seem to be any anger coming from the blonde. However, the Alpha could tell that she was a bit with her reckless hookups with multiple girls. It didn't seem to cause any real issues, though, so Mikasa was sure she'd just get scolded later.
"We're only good if you buy us some dinner tonight. Since I stayed here until you finished practice, there's nothing ready for dinner… I also don't feel like cooking tonight. Going to the doctor's appointment kind of threw me off my groove."
Mikasa smiled at hearing she'd be let off the hook if she bought dinner, which she really didn't have an issue with; Mikasa sort of expected them to eat out tonight anyway. She only hoped her mother wouldn't say anything about how Annie didn't make dinner. The Alpha internally sighed, hating that her mother was giving Annie such a hard time. Mikasa was just glad that she somehow managed to keep her mother from talking with Annie. It was getting harder and harder to do, however. She knew the day would eventually come, but she just prayed it wouldn't be blown out of proportion.
"You got yourself a deal. I'll hand over my card and you can get whatever you want for dinner."
"That's more like it, Mikasa."
Saturday, December 12th.
Hello, little one.
I'm writing this a little early because your Sire convinced me to come along with her on the trip and we'll be leaving early tomorrow. Honestly, I'm not all that thrilled to be stuck in a hotel room while Mikasa does football things, but she claims that we'll do something fun after she's done with her games. It's whatever, really. I'll make sure to hold it above her head if she doesn't uphold her end of the deal.
Anyway, I'm about to enter my fourth month on Monday! It feels like everything is going by so quickly these days, but honestly, this just means we get to see you soon! I can't wait! The doctor said you'll start moving around this time and that's going to be something new… But honestly, I'm excited to see what it feels like.
There's not much else that I can update you on but, I love writing these updates for you regardless. I'll write to you when we come back from the trip. Until then, goodbye.
Love, Mom.
With that, Annie finished up her nightly routine and joined Mikasa in bed, even though The Alpha was already knocked out thirty minutes ago. She couldn't help but smile at how cute Mikasa looked when she was asleep. Annie even allowed herself to press a gentle kiss to her forehead. Little did Mikasa know, Annie always showing affection to her when she wasn't conscious. Mikasa, in return, sleepily wrapped her arms around the woman like she usually did. Annie didn't mind at all and allowed herself to fall asleep within Mikasa's arms.
Annie was second-guessing her choice of going with Mikasa on her trip when she woke up at 4 AM. Mikasa said they had to wake up early, but Annie didn't expect it to be THIS early. It dampened her mood and she wasn't sure if this trip was a good idea anymore. But it was too late anyway; Mikasa's coach already excused her for the entire week, so she might as well try and make this trip worth her while... it just wouldn't be right now. Annie was going to take this time to be grumpy, which was hard to do because once Mikasa was aware of her grumpy state, the Alpha would go out of her way to buy Annie a box of doughnuts. Annie couldn't even try to be angry because her mood was ten times better now. She still proceeded to stay quiet and only occasionally reply to Mikasa.
When they arrived at the team bus, Annie was in a neutral mood. She was now wide awake and had an entire box of doughnuts in her system, so everything was fine... For now, anyway... Mikasa secretly feared that Annie might lash out because she was surrounded by a bus full of Alphas. She knew the Omega's emotions could be a rollercoaster and her idiot teammates would not help with that. That's why Mikasa had a secret plan to try and avoid any conflict. She already put parts of it in motion with the box of doughnuts in the morning. Mikasa knew Annie was going to be angry when she woke up, so she already thought of a solution beforehand.
Aside from the doughnut plan, she had another one for Annie if her teammates started getting rowdy and annoying. She had her iPad and headphones ready to go for them to distract themselves with. For good measure, she had some extra snacks for Annie just in case the blonde got hungry before the bus stopped for food. After thinking about it, her plans to keep Annie happy sounded sort of childish. Realistically, it sounded terrible, but Mikasa wanted to make sure her pregnant Omega was comfortable for the entire bus ride.
"How long is the bus ride going to be?" Annie asked as Mikasa put their suitcases in the bus's luggage department, waiting on the Alpha so they could sit down together.
"About thirteen hours, but I'm sure we'll be knocked out for a little bit once we get on the bus, so that's a few hours that'll pass by without us noticing. But, the bus will also take a few stops here and there for some food, so it may take a bit longer. At least we won't be cooped up in a bus for thirteen hours straight," Mikasa said as she finished putting their things away and gave her full attention to Annie.
Annie didn't like the thought of being stuck in a bus for that long, but she supposed it would be fine if they took breaks here and there. Hearing about them sleeping for an extra few hours didn't sound too bad, though. Hopefully, nobody would wake her up until she was ready. Instead of replying vocally, Annie nodded in return and Mikasa led the way to their seats. Annie was glad to see that their seats were at the front and away from other teammates... Well, except for Reiner sitting in the seat right behind them. He claimed it wasn't to bug Annie, but Annie wasn't sure if she should believe the man or not. It wouldn't really matter in thirty minutes anyway, because once she got comfortable, Annie went from wide awake to completely knocked out with Mikasa following suit shortly after.
They stayed asleep until five hours into the bus ride, with the both of them waking up just in time for their first stop. The bus stopped at a small rest stop with a few different fast food places to choose from. Annie wasn't in the mood to move, but Mikasa convinced her to use the stop's bathroom because it was much more comfortable than using the bus bathroom. And so, they waited until everyone got off the bus before leaving themselves. Mikasa walked Annie to the bathroom then left to get them sandwiches from Subway. While she was getting them though she overheard some teammates talking.
"Don't you think it's a little weird that Mikasa brought her girlfriend along to the trip? Like come on, I have a girlfriend too, but you don't see me bringing her along! Also, coach allowing her to travel with us too? Why does Mikasa get all this special treatment? It's extremely unfair!"
"I know, right? And she was allowed to continue playing despite being suspended for fighting? She's definitely getting things handed to her on a silver platter while we're here working our asses off just to get playing time!"
"Maybe we should fuck around and mess with Mikasa by bugging her girlfriend. Maybe push the Omega around a bit-"
Mikasa had enough of their shit-talking when they started bringing Annie into it. Before her teammate could even finish his sentence, she grabbed the back of his collar and slammed him down, scaring the hell out of her other teammate in the process.
"You put your hands on Annie and I'll break your fucking fingers. You two shitheads better keep your hands to yourself if you know what's good for you." She sent a glare towards both of them before going back to buy her food.
Mikasa was sure her message got through because right when she walked away, the boys ran back to the bus to hide. It pleased the Alpha immensely and she wore a happy smile on her face to show it. Not even Annie's random mood swings would ruin her mood.
"You look happy. Enjoy your time away from the cranky pregnant Omega?" Annie said as she stood next to Mikasa in line.
"You always act like I dread being around you. If I didn't want you here, then I wouldn't have begged you to come with me. But no, I didn't enjoy my time away from you because I always worry about you going somewhere by yourself, especially since you're almost four months pregnant. You're going to experience new symptoms and I don't want you going through them by yourself. "
"You want to be around for heartburn, backaches, and constipation? I guarantee that you don't want to be around me during all of that, even more so now that my stomach is actually starting to show more. God, I'm not looking forward to getting fat. I bet you're going to make fun of me again because I'm going to be ugly to you, huh?"
"I'm not going to call you fat! I didn't even make fun of you the first time! I just asked a question and I ended up apologizing anyway. Also, you're not getting fat, you're just pregnant. Don't give me that crap about you thinking you're going to be ugly to me now just because of your stomach. We already established that I'd still find you attractive and fuck you weeks ago."
"Oh yeah? You say that, but I don't necessarily believe that an in-shape Alpha like you wants a fatty of an Omega like me."
Mikasa huffed and knew that Annie was just kidding about her being not attracted to the Omega. Still, she did not like it one bit, so she leaned down and smashed their lips together in a rather sensual kiss before parting away. If that wasn't enough to fluster Annie, Mikasa continued further by whispering dirty words in her ear.
"I would literally lift you up and fuck you against the wall in the bathroom to show you how much I want you."
"Agh!" Annie moved away, so incredibly flustered that she couldn't even come back with a witty remark.
"Fine! You win! I believe that you want me! God, you're insufferable! Order my sandwich now, you horny-ass Alpha!"
"That's what I thought," Mikasa said with a smirk. She tugged Annie back towards her, wrapping her arm around the woman and pressing a quick little kiss to her flustered Omega's cheek to try and calm her down before ordering their food.
The rest of their bus ride wasn't that bad, except for the fact that Annie was incredibly freaking aroused. Ever since the stunt Mikasa pulled earlier, Annie was completely out of it. Her lips tingled from the kiss and she was sure her body heat skyrocketed through the roof. If she wasn't already pregnant. Annie would've been sure this was early signs of her heat. While she was going through terrible arousal, Mikasa was completely oblivious to it all, which only made Annie's state worse. Mikasa wasn't aware of how much her touches affected her. Each gentle touch of Mikasa's hand against Annie's sent jolts throughout her body, making her body yearn for more than simple touches.
Annie wasn't so sure if Mikasa was okay with them having sex, especially since they didn't really have confirmation on their relationship. She also felt like it was inappropriate considering they hadn't had sex in months. It didn't help that the coach got them a private hotel room just for themselves and not a shared one like the other teammates had. Everything was set up perfectly for them, yet Annie was too nervous to even consider asking Mikasa.
The odds decided to play in Annie's favor though. Right when they entered their hotel room, Mikasa set their bags down and immediately wrapped her arms around the blonde from behind. She also buried her face down into Annie's neck and took in deep breaths of her scent. A soft grunt escaped her mouth and Annie knew that Mikasa was struggling just as much as she was.
"Have uh… Have I told you how good you smell? I swear it's like you have-"
"If this is your way of trying to get me in the mood for sex then you're doing a terrible job. But lucky for you, I'm already in the mood because I've been fucking aroused since that shit you pulled earlier. What the hell was that?! Why would you say that? You literally made me a mess! STILL! Even hours after you did that!"
"Hey! I didn't expect it to cause a reaction like this! I just wanted to make sure you knew that I'm sexually attracted to you regardless of the state of your body! And now here we are! I'm assuming it's because we haven't uh… actually had sex in a while, but I'm not expecting us to do anything… I mean, it'll be nice, but it's all up to you… I don't know if you'll be comfortable enough to do it while pregnant, even though I already told you that I still find you attractive."
Annie's heartbeat quickened as she learned that Mikasa was more than interested in having sex with her. Her stomach tightened at the thought of finally doing things with Mikasa again and knew what she wanted to. She didn't want to outwardly throw herself onto Mikasa though, even if that's what her body yearned for. Instead, Annie decided to be as subtle as possible and gently pressed herself against Mikasa's front, making sure that Mikasa's crotch was pressing right against her ass. A sharp intake of air could be heard from Mikasa and Annie knew she had her trapped.
Mikasa backed away from Annie, walking around the blonde until she sat on their bed. She kept eye contact with the woman and yanked off her shirt, revealing her toned physique to Annie before taking her sweet time in unbuttoning and pulling off her jeans. Meanwhile, Annie's face was entirely red, but she still tried her best to keep a neutral expression. She didn't understand what the hell was happening and Mikasa not saying anything as she stripped didn't help. Mikasa took note of Annie's expression and couldn't help but smirk as she finished stripping, eventually leaving herself only in boxer briefs and a sports bra.
Annie gulped and felt herself grow self-conscious about her body, despite Mikasa always reminding her that she was still attractive. Her eyes raked over Mikasa's body but avoided making any direct eye contact. Mikasa got up and towered over Annie, forcing the Omega to look into her eyes. She gently brought her hand upward and held Annie's face before kissing her gently. Annie allowed herself to melt into the kiss and brought her hands up to grip Mikasa's shoulders. Then, ever so slowly, Mikasa began to hesitantly pull off Annie's clothes, giving her more than enough time to stop her if she pleased. Mikasa successfully pulled off Annie's top and glanced down at her exposed body. She happily allowed her hand to reach down and stroke Anne's stomach gently, hopefully showing Annie that Mikasa was completely fine with her body.
The Omega took in multiple deep breaths and finally allowed herself to enjoy Mikasa's touch. She was still cautious, but Mikasa's entire reaction to her body was enough to persuade her. With this newfound confidence, Annie pushed herself away from Mikasa's grasp and took a seat on their bed. Annie slowly pulled off her bottoms and finally matched Mikasa. She took in a deep breath, biting her bottom lip eagerly at what awaited her.
"Are you going to do me in missionary again?" she said in a teasing tone, trying to make it seem as if she wasn't so self-conscious just a few minutes earlier.
Mikasa rolled her eyes before taking a seat right next to the blonde, slowly wrapped her arms around the woman's waist, and kissed up her neck. She tried to get her Omega even more aroused now that they were both nearly naked and alone, which she didn't need to do at all; Annie was already turning into putty under Mikasa's touch. She softly moaned at the kisses against her neck and turned to kiss Mikasa directly on her lips. She slid her hands upward and held onto Mikasa's face, pressing her lips so eagerly against the Alpha's. Mikasa's hands slipped downward and gripped Annie's ass as they kissed, which wasn't anything new. But without warning, Mikasa picked up Annie and put her on top, putting the Alpha on the bottom.
Annie was surprised by the sudden movements but found herself pleasantly intrigued at what Mikasa was insinuating. She made herself comfortable on Mikasa's waist and reached behind herself to unclip her bra, releasing her breasts from their confines and revealing them to Mikasa. The Alpha was immediately entranced by them and her hands reached upward, cupping the soft flesh. A gasp escaped from Annie's mouth as Mikasa grazed her nipples. She whimpered and leaned down to press their lips together as she gently moved her hips against Mikasa's crotch.
"If I'm going to ride you, you better be doing equal amounts of work too," Annie said as she parted from their kiss, her chest heaving slightly. She slightly raised her hips and maneuvered her underwear down, tossing them aside with a smile.
Mikasa nodded as she removed her own underwear and bra, throwing her articles of clothing aside to join Annie's on the floor. From there, Annie returned to her sitting position on Mikasa's growing erection. Slowly, she began to move her hips back and forth, her slick folds sliding against Mikasa's cock. She coated the appendage in her wetness to use as a lubricant for later. Annie suddenly gasped out of pure pleasure when her clit brushed against Mikasa's tip. Her hips jolted forward as she experienced the pleasure yet again and nearly crumbled.
"C-Crap... I didn't expect my body to react this way." Annie managed to mumble out in between her movements, her hips shaking from pure pleasure.
Unlike Annie, Mikasa was able to compose herself underneath the blonde. It felt amazing to have Annie grind against her cock but it wasn't orgasm-worthy. If Mikasa was going to cum, she was going to make sure it was inside Annie or outside, whatever her partner wanted. But considering she was already pregnant, there was no reason for her to pull out. Mikasa took in a deep breath and gripped Annie's hips tightly, trying to keep them still to try and relax her.
"If it's too much for you, then we can switch positions and I can take over. I know you tease me about doing missionary, but it does allow me to do all the work."
"Shush, Mikasa. I can do this. Just give me a minute."
Annie managed to snap back at Mikasa before raising her hips and reaching down to grab the Alpha's cock. She lined up the tip to her entrance and slowly sunk down, which wasn't the greatest idea. Annie felt an uncomfortable ache as she slid Mikasa inside. Maybe she should have done a bit more foreplay before jumping into sex, but it was too late now. Annie allowed herself to take a second to adjust to Mikasa's length, feeling her discomfort slowly fade away. While Annie took in her moment, Mikasa bit her bottom lip as pure pleasure washed over her. Despite feeling intense pleasure, she kept her hips still, not wanting to overwhelm Annie yet.
Eventually, Annie began to move her hips ever so slowly, bringing them up then down in an attempt to create a smooth movement between them. At first, Mikasa allowed Annie to do all the work so that she could set the pace. When her lover seemed to be satisfied, Mikasa gently began to thrust upward. She made sure to time her thrusts upward as Annie was coming down, hitting the deepest spots within her. Each thrust caused Annie to whimper at how deep Mikasa was inside her. It was a wonderful feeling, but it was not enough to orgasm. So, she stopped moving in that particular way and instead leaned forward, beginning to move her hips back and forth.
Annie froze for a moment as she felt the pleasure she had been searching for. She placed her hands on Mikasa's shoulders for some type of support as her body reacted intensely. Her eyes shut and soft moans managed to escape her lips. Mikasa took note of Annie's reaction and decided to let her do as she pleased. Annie's grinding might have not been as pleasurable compared to the previous thrusts, but Mikasa didn't mind, especially since it meant her Omega would cum. To try and help her out, Mikasa began to move Annie's hips back and forth, hoping it was causing the same type of friction that she found pleasurable. She was delighted to hear a louder moan from Annie that indicated that she had done it right.
Mikasa continued to help Annie with her movements, keeping her promise on doing the work too. Annie found herself turning into a mess with each movement and buried her face into Mikasa's chest. Soft whimpers escaped her as Mikasa controlled her body as she pleased. Still, it wasn't exactly enough. That's when Annie began to roll her hips into Mikasa's, making the Alpha stop her movements so she could take over. Each grind of her hips caused Mikasa's cock to graze directly against her g-spot, making Annie immediately weak in the knees. She continued to move regardless, growing ever more desperate by the second as she inched closer to her orgasm.
"I-I'm close."
Annie said between moans as she ground her hips as fast as she could. Wanting to help Annie orgasm, Mikasa gripped her hips and tried her best to match the woman's speed while subtly thrusting upwards. A few soft grunts came from Mikasa as she brought Annie closer to an orgasm. The Omega found herself gripping onto Mikasa's shoulders even tighter as she finally allowed herself to orgasm. She froze mid-grind and lifted her head up from Mikasa's chest to smash their lips together. Her eyes shut as they shared a very passionate kiss.
Mikasa kissed back just as eagerly but held Annie still so she wouldn't get overstimulated. She made sure to stay still as Annie took time to come down from her post-orgasmic haze. When she did, Annie pulled away from their kiss and pouted.
"Sorry you didn't get to cum with me. I got a little selfish and put my pleasure first," Annie said while pulling her hips away before Mikasa's cock slipped out.
"It's fine. I don't mind it at all. I'm just glad you were able to enjoy yourself. If you don't mind, I'd like to keep going until I can cum. You wouldn't have to do any work, just lay there and look pretty."
"This might be the only time I'll gladly do missionary with you because I'm tired as hell." Annie took in a deep breath. "It probably wasn't a good idea to have a pregnant Omega ride."
Mikasa found herself chuckling at Annie's words, but made sure to not make her feel embarrassed. She sat up and wrapped her arms around Annie's waist, taking a moment to pull her in close and press multiple gentle kisses to Annie's cheek.
"Maybe it wasn't the brightest idea, but I wanted you to enjoy yourself in a new position. Although, at least we know now that you don't have the energy to continuously ride me at the moment. I don't mind though. I actually like doing all the work... Also, who said I wanted us to do missionary?"
"Oh? So you weren't going to do missionary? You've intrigued me, Ackerman."
Mikasa winked and grabbed Annie's hips tightly, maneuvering the woman off of her and into a new position, one Annie did not think that Mikasa even considered. She looked behind her shoulder from her position on her hands and knees, an obviously surprised look on Annie's face.
"From the back, hm? That's interesting considering you can't cum without eye contact, but I'm not against it at all," she said in a teasing tone.
"I can never win with you, huh? You make fun of me for only doing missionary and you still tease me when I decide to do something new."
There was a hint of anger in Mikasa's words and it made Annie's stomach tense up from anticipation. Hopefully, Mikasa wouldn't hold back just because she was pregnant. Annie would love to get such a rough fucking, especially in a position such as this one. Annie bit her bottom lip while looking back at Mikasa aligning herself with her entrance. She anticipated another painful stretch, but thanks to her earlier orgasm, everything went smoothly. As soon as Mikasa slid herself all the way inside Annie, a deep grunt leaked from her lips. The new sensation that she got from this position was so much better than missionary.
It seemed like she wasn't the only one enjoying herself, either. Annie was gripping the sheets with her face in the pillows as Mikasa thrust inside. It was more than obvious that Annie was enjoying herself in this position already. With this being a success and Annie having no complaints, Mikasa began to move her hips, pulling them all the way back until only the tip was slamming back inside. A surprised yelp may have come from Annie, but there was no plea to stop. Mikasa continued her mix of rough yet slow thrusts, really taking the time to enjoy Annie's pussy clenching around her cock.
"Annie..."
Mikasa said in her breathy voice as she began to move a bit faster and rougher. She wasn't too concerned about Annie's pleasure because the blonde already came, but she still tried to make it feel good for the Omega. She tried her best to angle each thrust to graze against Annie's g-spot, which seemed to work since Annie would let out a surprised moan each time. But as she got closer to an orgasm, Mikasa's thrusts became less precise and more uncoordinated despite reaching orgasm with how good Annie's liquid warmth felt around her. Her breathing got faster, letting Annie know that Mikasa was close to finishing. So as a treat, the blonde lifted her head to look back, locking eyes with her as Mikasa gave one last thrust before orgasming.
Annie bit her lip at the sensation of Mikasa's warmth inside and even moved her hips a bit, making her cock slide in and out as Mikasa emptied every last drop inside of Annie. Eventually, it became too much for Mikasa and she pulled out, her poor cock twitching from oversensitivity. As she pulled out, a stream of cum leaked out of Annie's entrance. Mikasa was quick to grab a washcloth from the bathroom and clean Annie up. Once she finished, Annie found herself collapsing onto their bed and closing her eyes in bliss. The Alpha joined her Omega shortly after finishing cleaning up herself, wrapping her arms around Annie like how they usually did in bed.
"Mmm... consider this a good-luck-fuck for your games this week. It's not like you're going to need it, though. Our team has literally won this championship every year since you've been on it." Annie buried her face into Mikasa's neck while she spoke.
"Extra luck is always appreciated, so thank you for that."
Mikasa held Annie tighter as she felt her against her neck. It was probably Mikasa's favorite form of contact if she was being honest. For the Alpha, it felt more intimate, like she was anticipating Annie to leave a mating bite or something. But she knew that wasn't going to happen any time soon... even though she wanted it to. Mikasa of course didn't ever bring it up. They didn't even really have a confirmed relationship. If Annie found out that she wanted to leave mating bites then she might actually flip. Mikasa internally sighed and closed her eyes.
"Give it some time. You two will figure it out eventually..."
Annie woke up and wasn't all that thrilled to find Mikasa absent from their bed, but thankfully, Mikasa left her a note on the bedside table that read:
'Left for morning practice, but I'll be back at the hotel around 12 pm. Game time is at 5 pm and you can come along if you want… You don't need to, but I'd love to have you there for support. We can talk about it more later, so see you then.'
Annie picked up her phone and checked the time, noting that it was 11:30 am, which meant that Mikasa was going to come back soon. For some reason, Annie couldn't help but get excited. Maybe it was because they had slept together the previous night or because Mikasa was not with her when she woke up. Either way, Annie was excited to see her again. She was even smiling at the thought of it. Mikasa really had her clingy these days. Annie blamed it on them living together because before this, she could go weeks without Mikasa, Now Annie found herself yearning for the Alpha after only a few hours. Funny how things change.
Instead of laying in bed and waiting for Mikasa to get back from practice, Annie decided to get ready. She went straight to their bathroom and started a bath, her light blue eyes watching as the water slowly filled the tub. She then sighed, noting that she had been taking a lot more baths than showers. It wasn't anything major in actuality, but Annie saw it as a sign that her body was getting tired much quicker, meaning that she wouldn't be able to do certain things soon. It was a little depressing, even though Annie knew it was only temporary. After she had the baby, everything would go back to normal and she'd be fine. Still, it didn't stop her from being upset.
She stopped the running water and proceeded to get in, still being naked from their activities from the previous night. Annie sighed happily as the warm water encased her tired, pregnant body. Her eyes fluttered shut and she just sat for a moment, taking in the warmth around her. She slid her hand around to her front and gently stroked her stomach, rather surprised at how big her stomach was getting compared to the previous month. It was barely showing back then, but now her baby bump was fully visible even while she wore shirts. It shouldn't be much of a surprise since she was entering her fourth month, but Annie couldn't help it. Her body was changing so fast. Just a few months ago, she had a toned abdomen, but now her stomach was protruding. It was a little mentally draining…
Annie pulled her hand away and began to wash herself, using it as a distraction so her mind wouldn't wander anymore. It was also because she was a little smelly from what she and Mikasa did last night. Everyone assumed they were a couple, so Annie doubted anyone would care if she smelled of Mikasa. Then again, she didn't want anyone talking about them having sex and that was the exact scent she was washing away. Her inner Omega wanted to keep it on because it showed that she and Mikasa were involved with each other as if it wasn't already obvious that they were already a thing.
In the midst of her bath, she heard their hotel room open and couldn't help but get excited. It was a little silly, considering she only had to wait about thirty minutes, but she was still glad Mikasa was back.
"I'm in here!" Annie said loudly from the bathtub, with Mikasa being there within seconds.
The Alpha entered with an exhausted look and Annie knew it was because of their festivities the previous night. In hindsight, it probably wasn't a good idea for them to have sex because they were already tired. Sex took whatever energy they had left when they got to their hotel late. It wasn't an issue for Annie, but Mikasa had to get up only a few hours later to do morning practice. Now here Mikasa was, obviously feeling the consequences of her actions.
"Well, don't you look like you're having a fun time."
"As much as I love having sex with you, we probably should've waited after our first game was done because I'm running on three hours of sleep and don't know how I haven't passed out yet."
Annie momentarily slid herself underwater to soak her hair before coming back up. Her now-drenched blonde locks were stuck to her face and Mikasa smiled at the sight. Mikasa might have been a little bit of a simp, but she couldn't help it. This woman literally was carrying her child and Mikasa could not help herself from growing even more infatuated with Annie by the second. Mikasa stopped herself from staring at Annie any longer, but she knew Annie had already noticed. Thankfully, it wasn't brought up and Mikasa was spared from embarrassment.
"Anyway, I'm going to rest up until four. Our team gets free food from the hotel because of our tournament, but if you don't want anything from here, you can use my DoorDash to order something."
Mikasa set her phone on the sink's countertop.
"I'm leaving my phone here for you, so just charge it when you're done. Other than that, you don't have anything to worry about. Oh, and one more thing."
She walked over and nearly broke her back leaning down to kiss Annie's cheek.
"That's all. I'll be on my way now. Also, if you do buy something off of DoorDash, then get me something, too. Okay, I'll be out of your hair now." With that, Mikasa left Annie to finish her bath.
Annie wasn't one to necessarily care about having access to Mikasa's phone, but it did come in handy. She finished up her bath before drying herself off and ordering some food. Since she wasn't so sure about the restaurants around her, she decided to get Taco Bell. She put in her order while getting Mikasa the exact same thing, already knowing that she wouldn't care what Annie got her. With that done, Annie exited the bathroom and returned to their room, where she was met with the soft snore of a slumbering Mikasa Ackerman. She tried her best to be quiet around the unconscious Alpha, although her noises of effort while picking up stuff joined Mikasa's snoring in the air. Thankfully, it didn't make much of a difference because Mikasa was still knocked out and snoring up a storm.
She proceeded to get dressed, going with her usual shirt and sweatshirt combo with leggings instead of jeans. The leggings were a sign that she needed to start getting some maternity clothes in the upcoming weeks, especially since her pants were already feeling uncomfortable. At least her stomach was still concealable under a sweatshirt, but that wouldn't be the case in a month or two. Annie couldn't deny that she was a bit anxious for that day to arrive. All she could think about was everyone staring at her and finally figuring out that she had been pregnant. She wasn't really worried about getting bullied since her wild pack of friends would scare them away, hearing the hushed whispers as she walked by was what scared her. Their judgmental stares, the rumors that would be spread around, not to mention the people trying to figure out who the Sire was. Although, that was a question already answered because Annie thought it was rather obvious that she and Mikasa were involved with each other. But that meant people would make rumors about Mikasa only being with her because of the child, which would only make her own personal worries with the Alpha worse.
"God, I really can't catch a break, can I?" Annie found herself saying as she walked back to their shared bed, sitting on the opposite side of Mikasa. She glanced at the slumbering Alpha and sighed, really hoping that Mikasa actually cared for her and not just their child.
Mikasa slightly stirred from her sleep to drape her arm over Annie's lap, still trying her best to hold her even if it was an awkward position. This small action soothed Annie's worries; she even placed her hand on Mikasa's arm to make sure the Alpha knew she was there. She couldn't help herself from leaning down and pressing a quick kiss to Mikasa's forehead as she slept. Mikasa didn't react much, but a small, sleepy smile did appear on her face which made Annie's heart melt. Maybe she was worrying herself more than she needed to.
Sunday, December 20th.
Dear baby Leonhardt… or Ackerman. It depends on what I'm feeling when you're born.
The trip as a whole wasn't really that bad, I don't know why I was worried. Mikasa didn't even want to go out half the time. She would literally go straight to our room after each game and pass out. The only times I could get her to go out was when your uncle Reiner wanted us to hang out. Although, I could tell that your Sire would've preferred being alone with me instead of being out. It's adorable, but we really needed some air outside of our hotel room.
Enough of your Sire being a homebody. She had a good tournament, even though they ended up losing their first game. Honestly, it was a bit unfair considering everyone was extremely tired. I feel like they set themselves up for failure, but it doesn't matter since they ended up winning the entire tournament anyway. So even if they were being set up for failure, then it severely backfired, even more so considering your Sire was still getting university offers after losing that first game. She also kept getting offers throughout the week, but all she did was take their cards and say that she'd think about it. If I'm being completely honest, I have no idea what your Sire has planned for her future. Mikasa keeps putting off choosing a university and it's a bit worrying… I'm sure she'll figure it out soon and we'll talk about it…
Also, I didn't even realize it last week, but we're on our holiday break this upcoming week! That means that Christmas is right around the corner! These weeks are going by so fast! Just yesterday, it was the first day of Senior year, and now, I'm halfway done with it. Your mom is kind of scared that everything is going too fast, but I'm sure I'll get over it soon since I have other stuff to distract me. Back to Christmas, though. I need to buy your Sire a present soon, but I don't know what it'll be. I'm also going to get you some things so you're not wearing the hospital clothes home after you're born. Maybe I'll throw in some toys too, so I'll see what I can get with the money I have saved up. I know Mikasa would rather me use her money, but I don't want to. I feel like it kinda defeats the point of giving her a gift if it's not my own money. I'll deal with your Sire and her need to pay for everything after I've bought her gift.
I'll probably write another journal after New Years' so I'll tell you how Christmas went then. With each new journal, you keep getting closer and closer. I can't wait to see you soon, little one.
Love, Mom.
Annie awoke from her nap and immediately hopped into getting ready for her day. She had been up earlier to make Mikasa some lunch and some snacks because Annie didn't want the Alpha to get hungry and lose energy throughout the workday. Mikasa was already working extra hours this week to make up for all the work she missed out on. The Alpha was also working more so she could have a break from Christmas through New Year's. After she finished doing all that though, Annie found herself with nothing to do for the rest of her day. She could go hang out with Reiner but she already had to see him for a week straight. Annie was also sure he was hanging out with Bertholdt and she didn't feel like being around a group. So, that left Ymir to bug, but Annie wasn't entirely sure if the woman was free or not. Well, even if she was, Annie didn't care; she just wanted to see and bug her best friend. After she finished getting dressed, Annie called Ymir and waited until she picked up the phone.
"You haven't spoken to me for a week and now you suddenly called me? Let me guess. You want to hang out or something?"
"Yeah, I do. And I don't care if you already made plans. I'm going to make you pick me up because I don't feel like driving my car, so come get me so we can go to the mall. I have Christmas presents to buy and I might get you something if you're lucky."
It went silent on Ymir's end, then Annie heard some mumbled talking that piqued her interest. Looks like Ymir was already with someone and Annie could only guess she was with Historia. After a while, Ymir spoke again.
"Sure, but I'm with Historia right now, so she'll be coming along with us to the mall."
Annie knew it. She didn't really care about Historia being there. She just hoped that it wouldn't make things awkward.
"Yeah, okay. I'll be here waiting for you two."
"Got it. I'll be there soon."
Annie wasn't sure if she was just used to hanging out with only Alphas, but she did not know how to speak with Historia. The entire car ride to the mall was filled with pure silence occupied by music playing in the background. She wasn't sure what to say or do. It just felt awkward altogether and Annie didn't think it was entirely her fault. When they finally got to the mall, Annie tried to run off on her own, but Ymir and Historia trapped her between them. Annie internally cursed as her plans were foiled; now she was stuck with these two awkward bitches.
"So, how was the trip? I heard from Reiner that the team won the tournament even though they lost a game. Mikasa must be really ecstatic about that... or not... I really don't know what your girlfriend's emotions are when she's alone with you," Ymir said as they entered the mall.
"She's not my girlfriend, Ymir. Also, she honestly didn't really care at all. Mikasa would literally go to her games then come back to our hotel room afterward. Even when multiple different university coaches wanted to speak with her about attending their school, she just wanted to curl up next to me and go to bed."
A small laugh came from Historia and Annie gave her attention to the blonde, raising a brow in reply.
"Oh! I'm not trying to make fun of you or something with my laughing. I just know how Mikasa is. And yeah, she's exactly like that. Always has been. It's a little funny that you say she isn't your girlfriend when you're pregnant and living with her."
Annie's eyes widened when she heard Historia mention her pregnancy. She immediately turned around to slap Ymir, knowing that SHE was the one who most likely told Historia her secret.
"Stop spreading my information around, motherfucker!"
"A-AH! OW! HEY! Historia won't tell anyone! Why would she? I just wanted to tell her so she wouldn't think we were fuckbuddies or something! GOD! You always jump straight to hitting me!"
"Because you deserve it, idiot! How would you feel if I went around telling others your secrets? If I hear you telling someone about my pregnancy again, we're going to have problems, Ymir!"
Historia bit her bottom lip as this entire scene played out, trying really hard to hold in laughter as Ymir was scolded. She agreed with Annie. Ymir shouldn't have told her about the Omega's business, regardless of whether she would speak about it or not.
"Okay, okay, you don't have to beat up on Ymir anymore. I would've found out eventually since Ymir wants me to hang out with your friend group soon. I'm a little hesitant since Reiner's there since he kept bugging me on Instagram a few months back and wouldn't leave me alone."
"Oh? Really? I would think you'd feel awkward with Mikasa there considering you two hooked up a couple of months ago. And also me because I'm currently involved with her..."
"Why would you think that?" Historia returned the raised brow. "We just fucked a few times and that was it. There were no feelings or anything. I was honestly just fucking her to feel some type of emotion again after the incident. I understand if you feel awkward around me, but I'm completely fine with hanging out around you two."
"No, I'm completely fine. I just recently found out Mikasa was a bit of a whore before she and I got involved with each other, so I've accepted the fact that she slept around."
"Cool! I've wanted another Omega to talk about things with. Ymir's cool and all, but she's always trying to fuck me now that we're on good terms again."
"HEY! Don't tell her that!"
"Dang, Ymir. That dick of yours already got you in trouble once and you're still doing the same thing? Maybe calm down for once, you dog," Annie said in a teasing tone, teaming up with Historia to bully the Alpha.
"Ugh. I should've ignored your call."
