Eruri The Happiest That I Could Ever Be (Lemon)

Part 6 Wanting A Family

Time Skip

Levi POV

It has been about 7 months since we were married and sure we got along great and the work was good as well. But I wanted something more, something me and Erwin could have together. I think, I think I want to adopt a child. These thoughts have clouded my mind from my work day after day, bit I don’t know if Erwin wanted kids, we just talk about our lives together but not much about anything else. These thoughts kept me stressed at work and at home.

Erwin's POV

Levi has been stressed lately, I'm really not sure why, but I need to talk to him soon, because I have been bothered for a while. I need to tell him how I feel, that I want to start a family with Levi. I knock and enter his office, “Sorry Levi, but can we talk?”

“S-sure what is it?”

He seems a little distracted, maybe now isn’t a good time….no I must tell him now. I know he will understand my feelings. “Levi, may I ask you a serious question?”

His brows furrowed slightly, I knew that now I had his full attention, “Anything Erwin.”

“What do you think about children?”

His face had a look of shock, maybe now wasn’t a good time, “Eh, n-never mind I guess it was a silly question.”

I rubbed the back of my neck and got up for my sad retreat, with my eyes glued to the floor. “I’ll see you later Levi, pardon for the intrusion.”

“Wait Erwin, sit back down”

I paused but came back and sat down anyway, “So, kids huh, they can be very shitty brats and they can be filthy,” he let put a sigh. “But they can be great creatures to have pitter-pattering, so in other terms I hate children, but if we had a child… it wouldn’t be so bad.”

I was in shock by Levi’s words; he always surprises me with his kind heart, well at least showing his kindness. I go around his desk to stand him up and I get down on one knee holding his hand, “Levi, will you adopt a child with me?”

Levi grinned, “Of course, I would love to adopt a child with you.”

Time Skip One Month

Levi’s POV

We finally got some time to go to the local orphanage, it still was a difficult time for children, not long ago men and women were torn apart ‘literally’ from their children and families for our cause to stop the titans. We arrived a bit nervous for three reasons. 1. We were both men, 2. We haven’t had any real experience with children and 3. The paperwork of the adoption. We were greeted by and older sister of the church, she knew of our arrival so she knows or situation. She greets us with kindness, “Good evening kind sirs, our children are out back so just take a look and join in the fun to get to know them if you wish.”

She left with a bow after she took us to the back yard where the children played. Most were too old. I wanted perhaps a toddler between 3-6 years old would be nice. The bratty ages where they can learn to behave properly. Another sister, a lot younger, approached us. “Hello kind sirs, is there anything I can help you with? Are you planning on adopting?”

“Yeah I believe that is why it is called an adoption appointment.’’

She looked angry at my words but I didn’t care, but Erwin nudged my shoulder, “Sorry about him, it’s just our first time at this.”

“So how many were you planning on adopting?”

“One.” I say. I leave Erwin to talk to her while I look at the children playing. I couldn’t help but smile until I see two children in the far corner of the back yard, sitting next to each other. They looked between 5-6 years old; they looked slightly similar, maybe un-identical twins. One was a girl with reddish hair in a low pig-tail style and the other was a boy with blondish ruffled hair. Sad expressions painted their faces so I approach them. I kneel down on one knee and extend my hand with a smile, “Hello there, I’m Levi, now what do I call you two?”
