Levi ushered me to the bathroom. He rolled up his sleeves and then began filling up the tub.

"I'll be nice and wash you myself." Levi mentioned.

"How come?"

"You did it for me once, remember? After we had stopped Rod Reiss and we ended up falling from a big height. You were very insisting on giving me a healing bath." Levi explained.

"I remember. You were sceptical that it was going to make you feel itchy." I teased.

When the tub was full, Levi turned the taps off and stood up and stood in front of me.

I looked up into his eyes as his stared back into mine.

Levi caressed my cheek. I placed my hands on his chest. His hands moved down my neck and onto my shoulders. His fingers glided under the collar of my gown and ran across my skin.

I felt my face grow warm.

"Don't get the wrong idea. As much as I want to, you just had a baby so you're still gonna hurt." Levi pointed out.

"I'm actually already healed completely." I mentioned.

"If you're still feeling sick then you aren't completely healed. Anyway, aren't mothers supposed to bleed for a few weeks?"

"Well that may not apply to me." I murmured.

"The answer is no."

I pouted my lips and looked down.

Levi then loosened the gown and it fell off me completely.

I instantly covered the front of me with my arms and leaned forward.

"What?"

"I don't want you to see how gross my body is... My stomach is all loose and gross." I blurted.

Levi grabbed my chin and forced me to look at him.

"You're not gross. It doesn't matter if you have stretch marks or loose skin, it just proves that you are a mother. You created a beautiful little baby so you should be proud of your body. Don't ever be ashamed of it. Each mark signifies the strength in your body that created our daughter. Each marl demonstrates the miracle that she is. Each mark reminds us how lucky we are to have her. You might not think their pretty but are the reason we have her." Levi explained.

I had the urge to cry but I sucked in my gut and tried to hold it back.

I'm already a massive cry-baby, people have made that very clear to me.

"Levi..." But I couldn't hold back.

"Ugh, are you seriously crying again?" Levi bickered.

"I can't help it... Your voice is just too beautiful and I am very hormonal..." I sobbed.

I sniffed trying to keep my nose from running.

"Ugh, just get in the bath already." Levi ordered.

I climbed in the bath and I instantly felt relaxed as I was enveloped in the hot water. I let out a sigh of relief.

"Does it feel nice?" Levi asked.

I closed my eyes and nodded my head.

"It's much better now that I'm not pregnant." I replied.

Levi had to help me wash sometimes because I wasn't able to use the shower by myself. I used to get really light-headed in a hot room, but that's just pregnancy stuff.

I felt warm over pour through my hair.

"Eek!" I squealed.

"Quiet Brat. It's just water."

I moved my hair away from my face and turned to look at Levi, who was holding a small bucket.

"Give me a heads up next time!" I scolded.

Levi then began to wash my hair with shampoo. His fingers were gently running through my hair and it honestly felt so nice.

Levi then poured more water over my head to rinse the shampoo out. I squeezed my eyes shut to avoid any of it getting into my eyes.

Levi then began to wash my body. Instead of using a luffa, he used his bare hands.

"Is this your way of copping a feel?" I questioned.

"Just shut up."

That's a definite yes.

Levi's soft fingers gliding over my skin made my skin feel weird. It was nice.

I had finished my bath and gotten dressed into something comfortable.

Levi and I had gotten into bed and luckily enough, Lilliana only woke up briefly and we were able to get her back to sleep with a diaper change and a feed.

"Will we go home tomorrow?" I asked, looking up at the ceiling.

"If that's what you want." Levi replied.

"I'm glad."

"I thought you were more comfortable here?" Levi wondered.

"I am, but there's still work to be done. I can't keep going back and forth between the orphanage and Trost. I am a Section Commander after all." I replied, closing my eyes.

"Fine. But don't even think about it for at least a month. Right now our priority is Lilliana." Levi murmured.

I smiled and nodded.

"Of course."

Eren's P.O.V

I had arrived back to Trost. I was walking by myself back to my room until I heard a whisper nearby.

I stopped and looked around.

"Who's there?" I questioned.

"Eren." Said a familiar voice.

I walked around the corner and there was a tall figure wearing a black cloak standing there.

"Who are you?" I questioned, keeping my guard up.

He took his hood off and I saw his scruffy face.

"Sohma?!" I blurted.

"It's been a while, Eren."
