CHAPTER XXXI:

BLUE ANOMALY

Petra held her daughter's hand as tight as she could. Judging from the amount of blood in the gauze, it was clear that Celeste was losing blood fast. Finally, they stopped and brought the stretcher out.

"You! You her father?" The doctor asked Levi and he nodded in reply.

"Hold the wound down. You aren't attempting to take it off so it shouldn't go deeper. Just try and stop the blood loss." The Doctor said. Levi immediately did so and they followed them up to the Operating room. They were told to stay outside. Almost immediately, Petra collapsed on a chair and started crying. Levi sat with her and wrapped an arm around her. He couldn't break now and think of the possibilities that can happen when the Doctor walks out that door. He had to be strong.

"How is she?" They heard someone ask. Looking up, he saw The Knights standing in front of them with worry etched on their faces.

"They took her in there just now but we're not so sure. She was losing a lot of blood earlier." Levi answered calmly.

"It'll probably take hours. Take the kids and your Aunt home, we'll stay." Damon told Duncan. He nodded and took the keys from him. After that, they waited. 4 hours later, the doctor came out.

"How is she?" Rex asked. The Doctor hesitated before answering.

"Well, it was a challenge to get the blade out but we did it and we stemmed the bleeding. But the blade was poisoned so we were forced to administer an antidote without your permission. If she throws blood out, it means it's working. I don't recommend that she race or do anything strenuous."

"Can we see her?" Petra asked as she wiped her tears away.

"Yes. She's already been moved to Room 445." The Doctor answered before walking away. They all made their way upstairs to the 4th floor. When they got to the room, Celeste was coughing before she grabbed the basin beside her and finally threw up blood.

"What's wrong with me?" She asked them as she cried. Rex immediately explained everything to her while Petra comforted her as she threw up.

"When's the next race?" Levi asked them.

"7 days from now in Las Vegas, Nevada. It should give her enough time to recover. The decision to race, however, is up to her." Damon answered.

"I'll race." She answered as she threw up yet again.

"Am I going to die?" Celeste asked Petra as she laid back down on her bed. She saw the flash of fear in her mother's eyes. It was the type of fear that she's been through once.

"What? No. That was just a side effect of the antidote." She answered. Celeste nodded before falling asleep, wondering just what it was that made her mother feel that fear. Eventually, the adults fell asleep beside Celeste as well.

The next day, Celeste was given the go signal to go home. They were worried because she wasn't talking much but the doctor assured them that she's most likely just in pain to talk.

'No shit, Sherlock.' Celeste thought to herself as they got in the car. Celeste was surprised that there aren't any reporters swarming the hospital.

"Okay, we're back." Rex announced. Levi helped Celeste out of the car immediately.

"Are you alright?" Petra asked.

"Yeah, yeah, I'm fine." She answered apathetically as they entered the house. The kids, Aunt Natalie and Duncan were still asleep since it's still very early.

"I'm going to sleep. See you." Celeste said as she went upstairs. When she entered her room, however, her eyes widened. There was a Blue Anomaly.

'Weird. I just wondered what happened that made my mother feel scared again.' She thought to herself.

"Might as well check to see what it wants." She decided before walking up to enter the anomaly.

When Celeste got to the end of the anomaly, she was in the living room of their house in Karanese. Almost everyone was there; Armin, Eren, Mikasa, Hanji, Levi and even The Commander. The person that was missing was Petra.

"Where is she?" She asked herself. The answer she received was a loud and painful cry. Just then, someone came down.

"Captain, you can go see her now." A young woman said. Levi immediately stood up and ran upstairs with Celeste following him. They entered the bedroom and saw Petra sitting on the bed, holding a bundle in a pink blanket. Petra looked tired and her hair was glued to her forehead thanks to sweat.

'My birthday.' Celeste thought to herself. She realized that this was March 25,851.

"What's wrong her? She's barely breathing!" Levi yelled as he held baby Celeste. The older Celeste noticed that Petra had fallen asleep when Levi took the baby from her.

"Captain, we don't know if she'll last the night." The male doctor answered. Celeste couldn't believe it; she almost died when she was born? That's why her mother was so scared earlier? That's pretty big news to someone who's healthy as a horse.

"There must be something you can do." The Commander said.

"At this point, all we could do is hope for the best. I'm sorry." He answered before walking away. The Commander told everyone to give the new parents some alone time. The older Celeste sat beside her mother, who was starting to wake up.

"Levi, what should we name her?" Petra weakly asked. Levi sat beside her to show her their barely breathing daughter.

"I don't know. What do you want to name her?" He asked, trying to sound emotionless as possible but it was pretty obvious to the two people with him that he was scared.

"Celeste. It means 'heavenly' and she's our gift from heaven." Petra answered. The older Celeste chuckled in response; her mother still believed in a heaven even though that a cruel world like this would make it impossible to believe in one. She'd know because she and her father are having a hard time believing in one.

"Levi, why does is she barely breathing?" She worriedly asked. Levi handed the baby to her once more.

"The doctor said that she might not last the night." He bluntly said. Petra couldn't say anything and at that moment, the older Celeste saw it; that same flash of fear that her mother had the night before. She held the baby close to her and held her tiny hands in her own.

"She'll live. She is her father's daughter after all." Petra said optimistically with a small smile but the fear was still in her eyes. Levi took the sleeping child from her again.

"Hey, you better last the night, Celeste. We don't die that easily." He gently chided the sleeping baby. Petra chuckled weakly before kissing the baby's forehead. The older Celeste touched that same spot when she felt it. It was the spot where the scar from her training was.

"I'm tired. I'm going to sleep for a while." She said before closing her eyes. Levi gently set her on the bed before taking the baby in his arms once more and taking her outside. The older Celeste touched Petra's forehead and brushed away the hair stuck to her forehead.

"You'll be fine. You both will." She muttered before leaving the room. Walking downstairs, she saw the scene Armin told her before.

"This is my daughter, Celeste." Levi announced with tears in his eyes despite the wide smile on his face. The older Celeste realized that Armin basically half-lied to her. Her dad didn't take her immediately from…whoever the hell assisted in the birthing. He and her mother named her first and endured the fact that she could die before showing her off to the others.

"I should've known he was telling me a cockamamie bull story. Sly little bishounen." She muttered to herself, promising that she'll make that Hideyoshi look-a-like pay. Okay, maybe not exactly a Hideyoshi look-a-like. Armin still has some masculine features unlike the famed Baka and Test character. At least, Armin didn't look like Pico from Boku no Pico. That was one anime she'd like to erase from her brain. And existence. She'd be doing the world a favour if she did that. But anyways, one of the things Celeste hates the most was people lying to her. Suddenly, she felt something poking her cheeks. Looking up, the older Celeste saw that Mikasa was poking her baby version's chubby cheeks while Hanji was making faces at her and Eren gently held her in his arms as if he was afraid of breaking her.

'He and Mikasa would make great parents someday.' She thought to herself. Again, she felt the poking sensation.

'Damn it, Mikasa! You're not supposed to poke a baby's cheek!' The older Celeste yelled mentally. She approached her baby version and put her hand on her forehead. All of a sudden, a black anomaly opened up.

"Guess I found my answers." She muttered as she went in.

AN: And that is Chapter XXXI! Did you guys like the Baka and Test and Boku no Pico references? I hope you guys did! I LOVE Baka and Test and Hideyoshi is my most favourite character. As of Boku no Pico, however, I tried to watch it but I was like "FUCK NO" almost immediately. No offense to Boku no Pico fans, though. I just don't like it and I wish that I can erase it from my brain. Anyways, I hope you guys enjoyed this Chapter and Thanks to those who will review, favourite or follow this story!
