•••Eren arrived at the farm with Anna•••

Jean: You're late!

Eren: Sorry, I had to say goodbye to someone!

Anna ((lowered her head))

Mikasa ((observing Anna with a head that wonders what she was doing with Eren)): ....

??? : Oh ?? ((Running towards Eren all happy)) DADDY !!!!!

•••Emi seeing her father in front of the court could not prevent going towards him, as for this one, he welcomed her with open arms then carried her in his arms. Everyone was surprised by Eren's gestures•••

Emi: Are you coming to celebrate my birthday soon?

Eren: Not exactly

Emi: But you promised me!

Eren: Really?

Anna ((surprised)): Is that you her father Eren?

Eren: Yeah....

Armin ((surprised)): Wait, did you already know each other? How?

Emi: It's a secret between daddy and me!

Connie ((laughing)): You're always so funny Emi

Emi: Well what?

Pieck: How about we go inside now ?!

Historia: Ah! That's true !

•••Eren's gaze then turned to Mikasa who, upon contact, lowered her eyes feeling guilty for having hidden Emi. Shortly after, in the house•••

Historia: In fact what we do here is not really a meeting but a meeting between friends! ((To Eren)) So that at least you can leave in peace

Eren: ..... I see .....

Pieck: Can someone help me bring the dishes in the kitchen?

Annie ((pushing Pieck)): Let's go!

♦ IN THE KITCHEN ♦

Historia: I didn't know they have already met!

Mikasa: Me neither

Historia: In my opinion, you should ask Emi how they met!

Mikasa ((nodding))

Annie: Mikasa can you go get some wood?

Mikasa ((leaving)): I'm coming back

•••Mikasa went to get some wood behind the house then she fell on Eren. Mikasa then hurried to take the woods, pretending Eren was not there, and was about to continue on her way when suddenly the young man stopped her by taking her arm•••

Eren: We must discuss!

Mikasa: The others are waiting for me, I have to bring wood!

Eren ((holding her hand causing the antlers to fall)): ....Let's go somewhere else .....

•••Eren took her by hand and together they walked towards the fields to chat quietly. The little Emi had seen them and decides to follow them on the sly•••

Mikasa: I didn't know that you have seen each other before!

Eren: That day I waited for you to tell me, why didn't you say anything?

Mikasa: Because you weren't going to forgive me ....you said her existence would destroy you, and you hate me ... yet you seem to get along with her .... were you sincere or were you pretending when you hugged her?

•••Mikasa waiting for an answer from him while looking at him but the young man did not answer while observing the landscape. Emi hidden behind a tree had heard the whole conversation silently crying•••

Mikasa: You don't have to pretend if seeing her hurts you. Just stay away from her! ((Leaves in silence))

Eren: When I'm no longer there .... Jean will take care of you

Mikasa ((stops)): .....

Eren: He will give you what I never have could offer!

Mikasa ((leaves in silence))

•••After their friendships meeting, night fell and Armin and the others were going home•••

Anna: Eren aren't you coming?

Eren: Thanks for everything Anna!

Anna ((looking at Eren then Mikasa and understood)): Take care of yourself

•••Armin seeing Eren stay smiling as he leaves. Night fell and Mikasa tucked her daughter into bed•••

Emi: Say mom

Mikasa: Mh?

Emi: Is dad going to leave us ?

Mikasa: huh?

Emi: I heard what you said! Dad hates me because I hurt him!

Mikasa: But no honey, that's not what he meant. In fact it has nothing to do with you. These are just grown-up stories!

Emi: But he's going to leave. And uncle Jean will become my new daddy! I don't want him to leave and I don't want uncle to become my daddy! I only want him. Even though he's hurt a lot of people, even though he's a mass killer, he's my daddy and I love him

Mikasa ((amazed)): Emi where did you ....

Emi : .... I have known this for a long time and dad knows that I know it

Mikasa: ......

•••After Emi falls asleep, Mikasa goes to the living room where she sees Eren sitting on armchair

Mikasa (( sits)): She finally fell asleep! I'm sorry Eren! I didn't know Emi knew about everything

Eren: .....

Mikasa: By the way, why was this Anna with you?

Eren: ... is it important?

Mikasa: .... if you don't want to tell me it doesn't matter .....

•••Mikasa had fallen asleep on the spot and she was going to collapse when Eren began to settle down next to her to let her head rest on his shoulder. The young man watched Mikasa asleep against him and gently he leaned over her and pressed his lips to hers. Behind the wall, Emi was sneaking around watching them and realizing that Eren secretly loved her mother very much. She then returned to her room very happy•••
