Levi walks in the house to the sound of Petra laughing.

He smiles and peeks into the kitchen to find Petra kneeling on a chair at the table and Eren doing something on the counter.

Music is playing on the radio in the corner and Levi is stricken, for just a moment, by how great it is to have a family to come home to.

"I'm home," he says finally.

Petra looks up and grins. "Hi Daddy!" she says. "Papa's trying to make donuts."

On the stove beside Eren is a shallow pan Eren is using to fry the dough rings. He turns and leans over to kiss Levi, his hands and apron covered in too much flour and other things for a hug.

"I'm letting Petra glaze them if you'd like to help her," Eren says.

Levi kisses him quickly. "I have to get changed first."

Eren nods and takes the first batch of donuts out of the pan. He sets them on the table for Petra. "These ones get icing and sprinkles."

She nods and opens the bowls of icing they mixed earlier. "The first one's gonna be vanilla," she says.

Eren smiles. "Alright," he says, going back to frying.

Levi walks back in. "Who's gonna eat all these when you're done?"

"Mikasa, Marco, and Armin are coming over in a little bit to be my taste testers."

"Uncle Armin's coming too?" Petra asks excitedly.

Eren smiles and nods. "He is."

"Yay!" she shouts, continuing to ice her doughnuts.

Levi sits down to help her. Eren sits the second batch on the tables. "Do you mind glazing these Levi? The sugar's a little too sticky for Petra to do it without making a mess."

"Sure. How do I do it?"

Eren sits of bowl of the glaze on the table. "Coat them completely with this and then sit them on this tray." He put down a tray covered in wax paper.

"Aye, aye," Levi says and starts working.

The next round of doughnuts are ones that get filling, the last ones he's making for the night.

When he sets them on the table he looks at his husband and daughter. "What should we fill them with?"

"Peanut butter and jelly!" Petra says.

Eren smiles. "Okay, I like that idea, what else?"

"Chocolate pudding in one and vanilla in another?" Levi asks.

"Ooo! Ooo! How 'bout strawberry pudding and banana pudding?" Petra suggests.

"And the last one can be regular jelly," Eren says. "Okay."

They get to work filling and Petra happily declares her peanut butter and jelly one to be the best when they're finished. "Let's wait until the others get here and then we'll decide," Eren says, smiling.

When they finally taste the donuts later, no one argues about Petra's being the best.
