"I see your mission went shorter than you expected." She pretended to act like she didn't know that she was holding their child.
"Yes... It did... Petra?" He asked, keeping his eyes on the bundle in her arms.
"It's a girl Levi. Meet your daughter Kadyn Isabelle Ackerman." She chuckled softly and handed her to Levi.
"Bonjour ma douce enfant, je suis heureux, je reçois de vous rencontrer enfin (Hello my sweet child, I'm happy I get to finally meet you)." Levi removed some of the blankets covering her face away so he could get a better look at her. "I'm... Sorry I wasn't here..."
"Don't be... Just be happy that she's okay..." Petra's face softened when she saw Levi being so tender with the tiny infant. Humanity's strongest does have a soft side after all. "Besides... I'm sure they'll be plenty more children that you can be there for." She snickered at Levi, who's cheeks barely had a tint of red on them (which was a lot for the captain).
"Let's wait a bit. I just want to focus on her right now." He sighed and handed her back to Petra so she could continue to nurse.
"I couldn't agree more Captain." She stole a glance from Levi, half expecting him to stop her and once again tell her "how many time do I have to tell you... Call me Levi".
However, Levi didn't seem to notice and Petra supposed he was just thinking about how he was a father now. "No matter what, I'm not going to turn into my father... I'm always going to be there for my child." He thought yo himself, determined to do so. "I will do whatever it takes to keep her safe in this world of hell."
"Levi?" Petra snapped him out of his thoughts and he hummed in response. "What we're you thinking about?"
"Nothing, just how happy I am right now." He kissed her forehead lovingly.
"Levi, can you take her? I'm exhausted." Petra extended out her arms with sleeping Kadyn in her arms.
"Mm." He took her and closed the curtains in the room. He walked outside and began to walk around the building. It was a peaceful walk for a while, until Levi ran into some company who must have heard about the baby (from Hanji). First to approach him was Eren who kept a safe enough distance but still close enough to where he could see the baby. No, Eren was not afraid he'd hurt the baby, but afraid Levi's would hurt him if he got to close.
"She looks just like you heichou." Eren commented, trying to start some kind of conversation.
"So, are you saying that my daughter looks like a boy? Or I look like a girl?" Levi inquired, raising one eyebrow.
"N-no, sir! I-I didn't-I just-I mean-!" Levi scowled and Eren gave up trying to save it.
The next to come up to him was Auruo who disregarded Eren's thought process and approached Kadyn full on. "Well if my eyes don't deceive me, and they never do, I'd say that Kadyn bares a strong resemblance to Petra, which is great for her because now she'll never have to worry about being insulted about being ugly... All the boys she ever meets will be left with a broken heart or an empty one... I'd watch her carefully Levi."
Eren chewed his lip nervously in the background, he was surprised Levi hadn't snapped and killed Auruo on the spot already, if the man who kept trying to act like Levi didn't shut his mouth soon, he was in trouble. Thankfully Auruo quieted since Hanji came running through the halls screaming to see the baby.
Even though she had seen it moments previously, she didn't get to fully examine it like she wished, now that she gave Levi and Petra the moment she burst out all of her questions and hypotheses on how the baby would be affected by growing up on a military base.
Hanji's voice eventually became too loud and Kadyn woke up and began crying, offering Levi an excuse to leave. On his way back to the room, he passed Erd and Gunther who, thankfully, only stopped to congratulate him and nothing more.
"Petra." Levi gently shook her awake. "Petra..."
"Hm? What is it Levi?" She sat up on one arm and ran a hand through her messy and tangled hair.
"I think Kadyn's hungry again." He rubbed the baby's back in small circles before Petra became fully awake and received the baby as she was handed to her.
Levi came around the other side and laid down next to Petra in the bed. Worn out from the mission earlier that day, it didn't take long for him to fall asleep. Petra stayed awake a little longer, continuing to feed Kadyn and also to enjoy the silence of the room. Hearing nothing but the sound of three heartbeats and slow breathing.
A/n: I have something that could sort of feed off of this but it's super not cannon and super OC filled.

It will probably just turn into a 20 page or more once shot because I don't want to break it up into chapters :-/
So, thanks for reading! Please review if you want the story after this! And avengers was AMAZING GO SEE IT RIGHT NOW IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY.
