Chapter 19

Return

Two long months they were gone. The conflicts were getting worse and worse, but no sign of the penetrating bullets that could break through Reiner's armor weren't used, but it didn't mean that it come in other conflicts. Reiner was more then ready to come home with the others. He missed Evelyn the most along with his family. He still regretted leaving Evelyn after their fight.

Reiner stood with Pieck and Galliard as the gates opened to Liberio. Families were waiting to greet them as they walked through. Reiner looked for Evelyn but didn't see her.

"Reiner." His mother's voice came. Reiner turned to see his mother waiting for him. "I'm glad your home safe."

"Thanks mom. Where's Evelyn?" Reiner asked.

"She's back at my house with the kids, making dinner. I'm sure your starved." Karina said. Reiner nodded as he said goodbye to Pieck and Galliard.

"Let Evelyn know that I'll be taking her out for lunch tomorrow." Pieck said.

"I will." Reiner said.

Evelyn and the kids were finishing the food. There were bags under her eyes from lack of sleep. She missed Reiner and was happy to hear that he was coming home today. Karina had left her and the kids to go get him and Evelyn had volunteered to help finish the food. Falco had stayed longer to help.

"Falco. Your brother should be home soon and I know he would want to see you." Evelyn said as Falco set the table. Evelyn walked up to him.

"It's fine Miss Jaeger. I want to help out." Falco said. Evelyn smiled at the boy. Gabi and Zofia brought the food to the table as Udo was finishing some stuff. Evelyn rubbed Falco's head. He was sweet and innocent boy compared to the other three kids. She never could understand how he could be a Warrior.

"You have been an amazing help, Falco. Thank you." Evelyn said. Falco gave her a smile. The door opened.

"Reiner!" Gabi yelled, running towards her cousin. Reiner grunted as Gabi collided with him and hugged him. He returned the hug.

"Falco. Your brother is here to see you home." Karina said.

"Alright, Miss Braun. Goodbye Miss Jaeger." Falco said, running to the door and hugging Colt. Evelyn came out of the kitchen. Reiner looked at her. She looked just as bad as he did with being tired.

"Eve." Reiner said. Evelyn runs up to him and throws her arms around his neck and hugs him. He wraps his arms around her and returns it.

"I'm sorry for getting mad at you." Evelyn said with her face pressed into his chest. Karina slips by and into the dining room.

"I crossed a line. It was my fault. I wished we settled things before I left." Reiner said, pressing a kiss to her forehead.

"Lets go eat. You had a long train ride." Evelyn said. Reiner and Evelyn head into the dining room hand in hand. Zofia and Udo were staying for supper. Reiner and Evelyn sat together as they ate the food. Gabi did most of the talking but Reiner and Evelyn weren't paying attention.

"So they didn't use any of the weapons that they talked about in the paper?" Gabi's father asked, looking at Reiner. Gabi stopped talking.

"No, but Magath wouldn't put it past them to use it in other conflicts if the rumors are true." Reiner said. Evelyn and Karina shared worried looks.

"Is it really true that these weapons could take out the Armored?" Udo asked.

"Yes." Reiner said. Silence filled the table. Karina and Evelyn were both worried with these new weapons that it could be the end for the Armored Titan.

'The Thunder Spears took two times to penetrate the Armored and get him out, but if I read right. It would take one hit and he be out or worse.' Evelyn thought. Gabi and Evelyn stood up as food was finished and gathered up the plates. Reiner watched the girls go to drop them in the kitchen. He could tell something was on her mind, but woudn't push it.

"She's been miserable while you were gone. I think she's happy your back. Better make it up to her." Karina said giving him a look.

"I got a week off after some paper work tomorrow. I will." Reiner said. Karina gave a smile. "Pieck wants to spend the day with her tomorrow." Karina nodded. Reiner got up and went to find Evelyn.

Gabi and Evelyn were finishing the dishes, talking in light tones. Reiner came up behind her and wrapped his arms around her from behind. She jumped until she felt a kiss on her check.

"Ready to go home?" Reiner asked. Evelyn nodded as Reiner let her go. Karina walked them to the door and hugged her son. Reiner reache for Evelyn's hands and they walked towards their house.

The door closed behind them. Reiner grabbed her arm, gently and pinned her to the wall, making her gasp. Evelyn looked up into Reiner's gold eyes. How she missed them. He had a look of lust on his face. Reiner leaned down and captured Evelyn's lips in a hungry kiss. Sleep can wait. He wanted her tonight. Evelyn wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him deaper into the kiss.

Evelyn gasped as he pulled away and threw her over his broad shoulders.

"Reiner." Evelyn said. Reiner chuckled as he smacked her ass. Evelyn yelped as he walked up the steps. His eyes widen as a grey kitten stretched out in the bed.

"You got a cat?" Reiner said as the kitten jumped off the bed and ran out the door.

"I was lonely with you gone. She's a cuddler." Evelyn said. Reiner tossed her on the bed. Evelyn sat up and ran a hand down his chest. Reiner leaned down and kissed her. It was a hungry kiss. Evelyn wrapped her arms around his neck. Reiner ran his hands down her back. Evelyn felt him shiver under her touch. She pulled his jacket off without breaking the kiss. Reiner pulled away and looked into her green eyes.

"Are you sure?" Reiner said. Evelyn smiled up at him and Reiner smiled.

"I'm sure." Evelyn said. Reiner pushed her on the bed and kissed her hard. It was a night of passion and their first intimicy.

Reiner woke up in the middle of the night wrapped around Evelyn's body. Reiner burried his face in her neck with a smile. It was a nice welcome home after a couple months away and make up for the fight. Reiner was worried. Worried that Paradis or Eren will come and take her back and she would leave him for good. He knew she was trying to find a way to take him with her and that gave him some hope that Evelyn wouldn't leave him. Reiner kissed Evelyn's check. He was going to enjoy the time he had with Evelyn before it did happen.
