Historia's POV
Being cool, calm, and collected is something I struggle with. The smallest thing can cause me to panic or overthink. But it's a good thing Eren has always been by my side, someone who I can look to and know that everything will be okay without even saying a word.
But that isn't exactly the case right now. Right now, Eren seems just as panicked as I am, if not more.
Oh boy, this is going to be hard...
"Hey... Historia!" I hear Eren yell, startling me out of my thoughts,
"What?!" I ask, panicked,
"Oh thank god... you're eyes were closed and you weren't moving. I got worried," he says, relieved,
"Eren... I'm about to give life to another human being that's been growing inside me for the past nine months that you're responsible for in the first place! And the contractions kept me up all night, so forgive me if I wanna get as much sleep as I can before I go through the worst pain any human will ever experience! God!" I snap.
I felt really bad for losing my cool at Eren like that, especially after seeing his face. He looks like I just kicked his puppy. But right now, I need him to be my rock. Not the other way around,
"Alright, I'm sorry. I was just worried. I don't know what I'd do if I lost you..."
My facial expression softens as Eren speaks,
"Hey, it's gonna be okay. I'll be fine, I've done it twice before already," I tell him, giving him the nicest smile I can muster while being in constant pain.
Eren walks towards me and takes my hand, placing a kiss on my forehead,
"I'll be with you every step of the way,"
I guess we can both be each other's rock at the same time.
Yeah... I like that.
Suddenly, a thought pops into my head,
"Hey Eren?"
"Hmm?"
"Where's Sammy and Olivia?"
"Mikasa and Armin took them to the cafeteria. Olivia got hungry,"
I knew all too well that once Olivia was hungry, you had to get her something to eat. Fast. Eren had made the mistake of bringing her to a work meeting one time, and she made a huge scene right there. Eren's boss had been furious.
"I don't even know how those two are still awake," Eren comments as I roll my eyes,
"That's what happens when you give them ice cream right before dinner. Don't worry, they're going to crash soon. You texted Sasha right?" I ask, looking to Eren as he scrolls on his phone, one hand still placed in mine.
He ignores me,
"Eren!"
"Hm? D'you say something?"
I roll my eyes again,
All these years...
"Did you text Sasha about taking care of Sammy and Olivia tonight?"
"Oh, yeah. She said she's just finishing something and then she'll head straight here. Which probably means she's eating,"
I chuckle at that.
Some things never change. Sasha's stomach is still and endless pit and I always have to repeat what I say to Eren.
"I said she's my sister! What about that do you not understand?!" I hear a familiar voice yell from outside my hospital room.
Out of nowhere, Freida bursts into my room with a couple nurses right behind her,
"Freida!" I say excitedly,
"Hey you!" she greets quickly before turning to the nurses, "see! She knows me,"
The nurses leave and Freida comes over to Eren and I,
"How you doing, baby sis?"
"Contractions hurt like a bitch, but generally I'm not doing too bad,"
"And you?" she turns to Eren,
"Like hell. I thought this would get easier, but nope. Still just as nerve racking as the two other times,"
"Those nerves are good! That's how you know you're a good husband and father," she tells Eren, seemingly calming him down a little since his eyebrows have unfurrowed and he gives Freida a smile,
"And where are the other two?" Freida aks, "I miss those little rascals,"
"They're in the cafeteria with Armin and Mikasa getting something to eat," I reply, groaning as I am suddenly hit with another contraction.
It wasn't long after that I had actually started giving birth. Sammy and Olivia had long since been picked up by Sasha, and now, I held my beautiful daughter in my arms. She looks like the perfect blend of me and Eren. She has my blonde hair and Eren's emerald green eyes,
"Fat," Freida comments, appearing beside me,
"Oh, yeah. She is a bit of a chubby baby, isn't she?" Mikasa agrees,
"Okay, weird first comments on a baby," Armin chuckles,
"She's perfect," Eren suddenly speaks up.
I look up at him. His worries are all gone, and the Eren I'm so used to seeing is back again. He shifts his gaze from our baby to me, giving me a smile,
"What're you guys going to call her?" Armin asks.
Eren and I look at each other for a little while longer before we both look to our newborn baby,
"Katie. Katie Elizabeth Jaeger," I answer,
"Wait... not Katherine?" Freida asks,
"Nope," I reply, not taking my eyes off of Katie, "just Katie,"
