MAbout twenty minutes later, Annie laid in her bed, holding her newborn twins. Mikasa was right there standing by her side, smiling at Annie's two daughters as they slept peacefully.
"They're, beautiful." Mikasa breathed.
Annie smiled, her eyes bright and joyful. These little bundles of joy were her's, and she would make sure they'd never know their father.
"They're your's too." Annie murmured, looking up at Mikasa.
"Really, you'll let me parent them along side you?"
"Mhm."
Mikasa's eyes shone with joy again.
Annie looked back at her twins when one yawned, the first one finally opened her eyes.
"Look Ann, it has your eyes."
Sure enough, it's eyes were ice cold blue, just like Annie's.
"Can we call it 'Ann', after you?" Mikasa asked, giving Annie a gentle kiss.
Annie smiled.
"Ann it is." the blond agreed.
The second one opened her eyes. Somehow, she had dark grey eyes like Mikasa's.
"How about 'Mika', after you?" Annie asked.
Mikasa nodded.
The whole of the group was brought in the room, except Reiner and Jean. Reiner had died from his wounds and Annie made sure Jean wouldn't be there.
When they were let in, they all gathered around the bed.
"Aww." Krista, Petra, and Hanji all cooed at the same time.
"Reiner would've been proud of you." Bertholdt murmured.
Annie teared up.
Bertholdt gave her a gentle hug and she closed her eyes. Everyone left her and took the babies with them to let her sleep.
About five years later on the girls' fifth birthday, Annie sat and watched her children play. Ann was a perfect copy of her mother, shorter than her sister, slightly curved nose, frosty blond hair, and icey blue eyes. Mika wasn't anything like her mother or father at all. She had dark grey eyes, soft black hair, and she was tall (like her father I guess). Annie got up when she heard the doorbell ring.
"I'll get it if you just want to relax." Petra offered.
"No, it's fine."
Annie answered the door and almost jumped when she saw who it was. Jean.
"What the hell are you doing here?!"
"Can't I drop off a gift for my own daughters?"
"What? Hell no!"
"Come on Annie, you can't hide the truth from them forever. What happens when they ask 'How come my father's a girl?'? Either you or Mikasa'll have to explain."
Annie looked down at the floor and sighed.
"Mommy?" Ann came to her and asked, holding onto the back of Annie's shirt, seeking protection, she was really shy.
"Go get Uncle Levi or Uncle Bertholdt." Annie murmured to her. Annie was just about to turn to her daughter when Jean put his hand on her shoulder.
"Annie wait." he commanded.
Annie's eyes went wild with fear. Jean knelt down on one knee and put his hand out to Ann.
"Hi, you must be Ann." Ann stepped forward cautiously and looked up at her mother for permission. Annie nodded reluctantly, keeping a watchful eye on Jean. Ann shook his hand cautiously.
"So you're the little birthday girl?" Ann nodded.
"And my sister's."
"Could I meet your sister?"
Ann nodded again and went to go find Mika. Jean stood back up and looked at Annie.
"You raised them well."
"Shut up and leave." Annie growled.
"Well I'd like to meet Mika. They're my kids too Annie."
"No, no they're not. Me and Mikasa have all custody over them, they're ours."
"What have I just told you? Those kids will grow up without knowing their real father. Hell, Mikasa's not even a guy and they call her 'Dad'. Why is that?"
"So they don't get confused with having two moms."
Mika came back this time, holding Hanji's hand. (The poor brunette had bend down pretty far just so the little girl could hold her hand.) Hanji wanted to see for herself who this man was, and nearly drop kicked him when she saw.
"Kirschtein, why the-" Hanji stopped herself from cussing. "-Why are you here?"
"Just to meet the girls." he knelt down again and put his hand out to Mika. Mika didn't hesitate, she loved to meet new people. She shook his hand and he stood back up.
"Who are you?" Mika asked.
"I'm your-"
"Don't you dare fucking say it!" Annie cut him off.
In the house, everyone heard her curse, they knew something was wrong, but didn't get up, they knew when Annie was pissed, Annie was pissed.
"Fine then Annie."
He looked back at Mika.
"My name's Jean Kirschtein."
"And I'm Mika Lynn Leonhardt-Ackerman." Mika introduced herself, proud of her name.
"Mika, go get one of your uncles." Annie murmured.
"Why?"
"Just go!" Annie urged, gently shoving the little girl inside. Hanji started to get a little pissed herself.
Mika came back this time holding her favorite uncle's hand, Levi.
"Now you and Auntie Hanji go and enjoy the rest of the party, okay? Mommy and Uncle Levi will take care of everything, okay?"
Hanji knew right away what was happening. She put little Mika on her shoulders and went back in the house.
Annie closed the door behind her and Levi.
"Leave Kirschtein." Levi ordered him. Jean stood there like no midget could ever hurt him.
"We said go!" Annie commanded.
He still stood there.
"I came to meet my daughters, and see them grow up."
"They aren't yours and never will be Kirschtein, Annie's their mother and has full custody over them with Mikasa."
"Doesn't mean I can't go to court and prove that I'm their father."
"Please just go!" Annie pleaded.
Jean shook his head and smiled faintly.
"Then don't come crying to their father when something happens." with that, he turned around and walked away.
