Enough of me talking, here comes chapter 3!

Rumors about Mikasa's state started spreading like wildfire. No one was sure what was happening with their strongest colleague, and everything from alcoholism to drug use was whispered around. The only ones who didn't care for such nonsense as spreading rumors were Eren and Armin. They were curious, of course, but didn't feel the need to speculate about her condition. They wanted to hear it from her.

"I know what's wrong with Mikasa." Ymir mumbled one day at the dining table. Mikasa had been resting in her room for a week now, and everyone wanted to know why. Everyone at the table turned around and stared at her.

"Yeah right!" Jean laughed. "How would you know it? You're not even friends!" he said with an accusing tone. He felt offended that someone knew something about Mikasa that he didn't. After all, he had had a huge crush on her for over five years now.

"I know what's wrong with her." Ymir repeated. "Because I've seen it before." Everyone stared at her, trying to figure out what the hell she was talking about. "Mikasa is pregnant."

Ymir had dropped a bomb. First everyone was silent. When the words had sunken in, it was like war. Half of the table criticized her for even thinking about something like that, while the rest of the table started speculating of who the father would be.

"I bet Eren's the father!"

"Pregnant?! Hah, no way"

"It's so obvious."

"Does Mikasa even know how to make babies?"

"Impossible..."

"As if! They're siblings! Eren doesn't even like her in that way."

"It has to be Mike! He said that he liked her scent."

"Maybe it's Jean!"

"How the hell could you even think about something like that?!" Jean exclaimed, scared that Ymir might be right about the pregnancy.

"When my mother was pregnant, she behaved in the same way. Feeling dizzy, absent... Mikasa is acting the exact same way. Trust me, it won't be long before she starts showing." Ymir said and took a big bite of her bread.

"Liar" Jean groaned and stood up, causing his char to fall over. The sudden rumble made everyone in the dining hall look at his direction. The big room was now silent, apart from Sasha's loud chewing. She was, like always, not going to let anything disturb her dinner.

"How dare you even imply that Mikasa would be pregnant? You disgust me." With those words, Jean left the dining room, not even bothering to put away his plate.

Levi, who had been sitting with the commanders and higher ranked officers, felt his grip around his spoon tighten. He saw nothing but red for a few seconds, before standing up, and turning to the younger soldiers table. They all stared at him, no one dared to say a word.

"The next one of you fucking brats, who even mentions Mikasa's condition, will be hanged by a tree from their balls by me. And I will make sure that you will hang there, until you don't even know your fucking name." The soldiers stared at him, eyes wide of fear. "Understood?!" Everyone nodded, and Levi returned to his seat.

Hanji, who was the only one who knew about the pregnancy besides Mikasa and Levi, glanced at the short officer. It was abnormal for him to lose his temper like that. When Levi walked out of the dining room, she followed him.

"Levi, wait up!" she yelled and ran after him. He stopped and let out a frustrated groan.

"What do you want Hanji?" he asked tiredly, leaning on the wall. Hanji stopped in her steps. When he wasn't calling her shitty-glasses or four-eyes, something was definitely wrong.

"Levi..." Hanji started, and put her hand on his shoulder. The movement made him flinch, but he didn't slap away her hand like he normally would have. "I think you need some time off." Before Levi had time to even protest, she continued. "You and Mikasa need to figure things out. The rumors are spreading you know... And she will soon start to show."

Levi considered her words for a long time. The silent between them wasn't uncomfortable as you'd think. It was a silence between two good friends. After all, they both trusted their lives in each other's hands.

"I..." Levi started, not knowing what to say. "Thank you." he whispered. Hanji nodded, and smiled.

"Good. Now remember, if there's anything you need, please ask me. I'd be happy to help." Hanji smiled widely, and Levi had to return her smile.

"Take care." she said and gave him an awkward hug that lasted for about half a second. "Now, go and take care of your child's mother!"

Levi wasn't used to taking commands, but this time he didn't bother to disobey her. He was too tired and stressed out. He started walking towards Mikasa's room, trying to figure out what he should say.

Mikasa stared at her bare stomach. It was still smooth and flat, and she couldn't believe that there was anything inside it. It was impossible. She actually started to think that it was just a funny dream. In reality, nothing had ever happened. She was still living with her mom and dad in the woods, and didn't owe her life to Eren. She spent her days making herbs with her mom, and maybe she was dating a normal boy with a normal life and-

She couldn't breathe. The air in her lungs was too thin, and the more she tried to breathe it in, the worse it felt. Tears started to fall down her cheeks, as she gasped for air. Her lungs were aching, her heart was beating too fast and the whole room was spinning around her.
Just as she was about to pass out, Levi walked in to the room. He ran over to her, and pressed her against his chest.
"Mikasa!" he yelled, forcing her to look at him. "Breathe." he commanded. Mikasa tried, bit her gasps were too short, and she was choking on her tears.
"No, I can't" she breathed and grabbed a fistful of Levis shirt. "I'm not okay- I don't have a – I don't-"
"You're having a panic attack." Levi said soothingly. "It'll be over in a few minutes. Just breathe, slowly." Mikasa took a deep breath and felt the ache in her lungs start to fade "See, everything's going to be alright."

Mikasa nodded, and took another deep breathe. Her heart started beating like normal, and the tears on her cheeks had dried out.

"Thank you" she mumbled with a tired voice. "I don't know what the hell that was about; I've never had anything like that before.
Levi stroked her hair, and told her about what she just had experienced.
He told her about his friend who suffered from daily panic attacks.
He told her what to do to avoid them.
He told her about the time he had gotten one, about that day when he found his older brother dead.

He then kissed her, and she answered the kiss hungrily. The kiss had a side-taste of salty tears, but neither one of them minded that as their tongues battled for dominance. Levi won, and he pushed her down to the bed, not breaking the kiss.
"Do you want to do it?" Levi murmured against her lips, knowing that the position they were in had led to the problem they stood in right now. Mikasa grabbed a fistful of his hair before biting hard on his lip. Levi took that as a yes, and attacked her lips. His hand wandered under her nightgown, and he felt himself harden even more as he discovered just how wet she was.
"Mikasa, you're so fucking wet." he groaned as he inserted a finger in her. She let out a soft moan, and started to fumble with his pants.
"Take them off." she commanded, and he obeyed. The pants soon hit the floor, followed by his shirt and boxers. He almost came right there, staring at Mikasa's naked body. Her breasts were full and round, with a perky nipple in the center. He leaned down and captured her hard nipple with his mouth, earning another moan from her.
"Please Levi, just fuck me" she moaned as his tongue flicked over her sensitive nipple. "I need you inside me"
With those words, Levi was sold. He lifted her legs on his shoulder, and pushed himself inside her in one hasty movement. He started to thrust his hips against her, and she couldn't do anything but enjoy the ride.
From all the times they've fucked, this one was different. This time, neither one cared if someone would hear them. They just wanted to enjoy each other as much as they could.

Jean sat in his room and stared at the ceiling. He felt angrier than he had ever done before. It couldn't be true that Mikasa was pregnant. Pregnant with someone else that him. After five years of being in love, he still hadn't given up. The fact that Eren had confessed to her that his love was nothing but platonic and brotherly, made him try even harder to impress Mikasa. He brought her food, complimented her, but all he got in return was a hasty smile and a soft thank you. He wanted more. He wanted her, he wanted to marry her, and to make her his by law. The fact that she might be pregnant was upsetting, because that meant that someone had stolen something that he wanted to take. Back in his home village, it was tradition that the woman gave the man a gift on their wedding night; her virginity. He dreamt of that almost every night, seeing Mikasa underneath him; glistering with sweat. Jean felt his dick harden, and he groaned. Again? Every time he thought about Mikasa, his dick started to have a life of its own. Jean quickly looked around the room, reassuring that he really was alone, before putting his hand down his pants, when he grabbed his dick, he pretended it was her touching him. When he came, he moaned her name.
It was always her name.

"Mikasa, could you please tell us what's wrong?" Armin tried, for the fourth time that week. "We want to help you."
Mikasa didn't answer; she just pulled the blanket tighter around her. She wasn't sure if she was ready to tell her friends in what state she was. Eren put his hand or her shoulder.
"Mikasa, please. We have always told each other everything" he said "And besides, do you want us to believe the rumors?" he started to laugh "People actually believe that you are pregnant, hah! Can you believe them?" he looked at her, hoping that she would join his laughter. Instead, she turned her gaze to the wall, and her whole face turned red. That's when Armin and Eren understood. It wasn't just a rumor.

"Mikasa..." Armin started, not sure what to say. "You aren't pregnant, are you?"

"I am." Mikasa said and stared into his eyes. "Two months pregnant, actually."

Eren and Armin gasped. Millions of questions started to race through their head. You had to have sex to become pregnant. You needed a man to have sex with. Both Armin and Eren knew that it couldn't be Jean, or Eren.

"Then who's the father?" Eren asked, and surprised that he felt a sting of jealousy inside him.

"It's Captain Levi." Mikasa confessed. "We've been… Eh, intimate, the last months." Her face turned even redder.

Everything started to make sense now. How Mikasa took private lessons with Levi. How they always missed dinner, and then ate in his room. The looks they shared, and the numerous private meetings they held. How she smiled more often. How Levi smiled more often.

"You have to promise not to tell anyone." Mikasa said with a stern voice. "If you tell one living soul, I will kick your ass so hard, that you'll taste shit."

Armin and Eren gulped, they had never seen Mikasa turn her rage towards them. They used to be the ones backing her up when she had a fit, never the ones against her.

"Calm down Mikasa!" Eren laughed. "I'm not going to tell anyone. Besides, I'm going to be an uncle! How cool isn't that!"
The young girl looked at her enthusiastic friend in horror. Was Eren actually exited for this? How could she have missed that her best friend actually liked kids? Now that she thought about it, back in their home town, he had spent a lot of time with their younger neighbors. She always thought he did it because Carla had told him to do so, but maybe he did it because he really enjoyed kids?
"Yeah!" Armin laughed. "Mikasa, you have to promise me that I also get to be an uncle! Please!"
When Mikasa looked at her two smiling friends; her family, things didn't seem so hard. She had Eren and Armin. She had Levi. Everything was going to be fine.
"Of course you can!" she said. Armin smiled even wider, and looked at her stomach.
"I'm not showing yet, stupid!" Mikasa laughed. Eren joined her laughter, and ruffled her hair.
"Who would have thought that our Mikasa would have a kid…" he mumbled with a soft smile before turning his face to her, smiling widely. "Not that I'm worried though. You're going to be a great mom!"

Mikasa smiled, and looked out the window. He was right. She was going to be a great mother. She would make sure that her child would never know the horrors that she had to go through.

In that moment, she knew that the loved the child inside her.

WOHOOOO! Done. Tell me, how did you like it? Are you as exited as Eren and Armin? Tell me in a review!
