Armin decided to sleep in Eren's bed that night and were awoken due to Hange. Yet again.
"You guys are getting along so well." She exclaimed as she handed over their morning medications. The same two blue pills were swallowed down and Armin's pinkie coloured ones were too. The doctor pushed her glasses further up the bridge of her nose and grinned at Armin.
"How did it go last night?" She asked, leaning forward to place a cold hand against Armin's stomach.
"He was good, barely moved." Armin replied.
"Overall he seems to be more behaved than Krista was." Hange laughed, removing her hand.
"She never stopped moving and I had to pee like every minute." Armin laughed too, his hands moving down to his swollen stomach and patted his tummy gently, "Can't say this one is bad." Eren glanced between the doctor and the pregnant Omega. So it was Armin's second pregnancy? He thought back to last night. Did Armin have a mate and where was his daughter? He squirmed in his seat, curious and impatient. Before he could open his mouth to say anything though, Hange spoke first.
"Alright, I better go to the others. Make sure you get some breakfast you too." She exited the room with a way too enthusiastic wave. The blond Omega smiled and lightly tapped Eren's forehead.
"Stop daydreaming and help me up, silly." He grinned, holding his hands upwards like a small toddler wanting to be picked up. Eren shimmied off the bed and pulled Armin to his feet. Armin thanked him and then left the room, heading to the cafeteria. They had picked up some food, Eren opting for a heaped pile of hashbrowns. Eren guessed that it was still early, regarding the lack of Omegas actually in the mess hall but Jean was sitting in one of the seats, alone. Of course fucking Jean had to be there. Eren muttered something angrily under his breath and stormed past him, not realising Armin had stopped to sit down next to him. He stopped, tapping his foot impatiently as he waited for Armin to finish talking. Instead, the blond Omega patted the seat next to him, gesturing Eren to take a seat. Eren clicked his tongue in annoyance but moved and sat down next to Armin.
"Where's Marco?" Armin asked, stabbing some of the scrambled egg he chose and popped it into his mouth.
"He should be here soon. He got a bad wave of morning sickness today." Jean explained, eating the food he already had. Armin huffed.
"Been there." He laughed.
"I had to get out of there when he started accusing me of purposely doing that to him." Jean replied, moving his food around his plate with his fork.
"What?" Eren asked, breaking his death glare from Jean and it morphed into a confused one. Jean just rolled his eyes.
"Right, you're new. Marco and I are mates." The Omega explained.
"How?" Eren hissed.
"Ugh. I am an Omega and can get pregnant and all that but I also have a knot and I got Marco pregnant." Jean explained, averting his eyes from Eren's piercing gaze.
"What the fuck?" Eren whispered. He couldn't wrap his mind around it. Never ever had that been heard of before. How was that even possible? Armin made a muffled noise that sounded like a laugh and stuffed some more food into his mouth. They remained in silence for a few moments while they chewed on their food and Eren was still muttering in confusion.
"So did you get the results?" Armin asked, scraping up the rest of his eggs on his fork.
"Yeah. I'm pregnant." Jean said, "Marco is not going to be happy."
"Not happy about what?" Marco asked, sitting down with a quick peck to Jean's cheek. The Omega (Alpha?) smiled at his mate and snaked his arms around his waist, hands resting on Marco's swollen stomach. Eren's eyes flickered in between both of them. Mates and both pregnant?
"I got my results back and I'm pregnant." He explained, leaning in to place a kiss on Marco's neck. The dark haired Omega visibly tensed up with a sharp inhale of air.
"That's nice." Marco swallowed. His eyes connected with Eren's and the newly presented Omega could tell how pissed he was.
"Are you going to have any food?" Eren asked, trying to steer clear of the topic, "You can have some of mine." Marco screwed his nose up.
"Ew," Marco replied, "Thanks but no. I think food for me right now is a no go." Eren just shrugged, stuffing the little golden potato pieces of heaven into his mouth.
"Suit yourself." He replied in between bites. Marco couldn't help but smile and shake his head at Eren's puffed out cheeks.
"Anyway, I heard that an Alpha tried escaping." Marco said, resting his head on Jean's shoulder.
"Woah. No way." Jean exclaimed, face lighting up in excitement.
"Why?"
"Apparently he's been here like a month or something and no one wants to bond with him. This is just what I overheard when I was coming here so I don't know if it's true." Marco added.
"I'll ask Erwin about it." Armin said, obviously equally excited as Jean but trying to mask it. Marco smiled and Jean made a noise of excitement. Marco snuggled into Jean, feeling a little left out and Armin grabbed Eren by the arm, dragging him out of the cafeteria to leave the mates alone.
"What?" Eren spluttered by the sudden yank, "Where are we going?" He stumbled a little before finding his balance. His hands were fisted into Armin's shirt sleeve as the smaller Omega lead him along.
"We're giving them some space. Couldn't you smell Marco's distress?" Armin asked re-entering the dormitory. There was heaps of Omegas in the hallway, all clumped around each other talking in hushed tones. Armin greeted some of them, asking them how the baby was going or something like that. Eren wasn't paying attention. The pregnant tugged the dazed Eren into their room.
"I still don't get it." Eren mumbled as he dropped down onto his bed, "How the hell does he have a knot?" He stressed, running a hand through his bed head hair.
"Birth defect I think it was." Armin said, picking up a few pillows and placing it on the bed around Eren, "Just don't judge him on it, okay?"
"I –I…I just don't understand how that can happen, though." Eren muttered, opening his arms to allow Armin to curl up to him. He hummed in response, settling his head in the crock of Eren's neck.
"It's actually pretty cool being part Alpha." Eren admitted, his fingers sneaking into Armin's soft blond hair.
"Speaking of which, my Alpha will be coming around soon to let me see my daughter. Just thought I'd warn you." Armin stated, his arms wrapping around Eren's waist. Eren nodded but he was too wrapped up in his thoughts to really listen.
