Pregnant

The words stayed in the air, making it hard for everyone to breathe. The one thing Levi and Mikasa had not worried about had happened. They had been too busy trying to hide their love-affair that he had completely forgotten about the risk of pregnancy. It was hard to have sex so that no one would notice, and when they finally got the chance, a pregnancy that might occur was not on their mind.
Levi glanced at Mikasa, who just stared at the blank wall with her mouth slightly open. She was clearly in shock. Did she even know how babies were made? She had do, wasn't her adoptive father a doctor?
Levi did know how babies were made and still he hadn't taken any precautions when they had sex. To his defense, it had been awhile since he was intimate with another woman, and she had taken care of the protection.

"I should leave you alone." the nurse mumbled and left the confused pair alone in the big room. Not that Levi and Mikasa would have noticed even if an elephant would stand before them. They were both so deep in their thoughts, thinking about the child that was now inside Mikasa, and would soon be there for him to hold. How long was a woman pregnant again? 5 months? A year? It had been such a long time since Levi learned about human biology that he didn't remember much.

"What should we do?" Mikasa mumbled, avoiding eye-contact with him. She felt tears burn under her eyelids, and her chest felt heavy. It was funny how her whole world had crashed in two seconds.

Levi didn't answer. He stared at her stomach, trying to understand that inside it a child was growing. His child.
Mikasa saw that he stared on her stomach, and instinctively covered it with her blanket. Levi looked up to meet her gaze. He saw fear in her eyes, and knew that his eyes probably looked the same; filled with fear and worry. It was an expression that Humanity's strongest soldiers rarely wore. It was an expression that neither of them ever wore.

"Levi-"Mikasa tried again with an anxious voice.

"I don't know what we should do." Levi whispered. He glanced at her and bit his lip, not knowing what to say. To be honest, he was scared shitless. He wasn't good with kids. He still remembered with horror that time his friend had gotten a child, and had left Levi alone with it when he went to the toilet. The child had started to cry, and Levi had no idea what to do. He had just stared at the little person lying on the sofa, and hoped that it would shut up.

"I don't think I'm father-material…" Levi continued quietly. Mikasa scoffed and threw the blanket aside anger on her face.
"So you're not fit to be a dad! What about me?!" she exclaimed with rage. "You are old as fuck! You're fucking 35, I'm 17! I can't even look after Eren, or you! How the fuck could I ever be a mother?"

Levi looked at Mikasa, surprised of her sudden burst. He saw that tears fell down her face, and he felt his own eyes start to glister.
"Mikasa, calm down." Levi whispered and hugged her hard. He could feel her tears on his shoulder, and it didn't take long before tears also fell out of his eyes, making their way down to Mikasa's soft hair. He couldn't remember the last time he had cried, but still, he felt no shame. It felt natural to let the tears fall down.

"I'm sorry." he whispered. Mikasa nodded and hugged him harder.
"Everything will be okay…" Levi said soothingly and stroked her back. "I will never leave you and this child."

He meant it. Levi Rivaille would never leave her side. He would always be there for her, and for their kid.

He was going to love that child more than anything in the world. That he was sure of.

Tadaaaa! Again, so sorry for the short chapter. Please review and tell me what you think.
