The Vigilant Prince

Until the End II

Until the End II

       Seeing her laying on bed and regaining her energy made him relived about the whole situation, a small smile reached his lips as he touched her belly so carefully as if afraid to hurt the child in her womb, he held her so carefully as if she is some fragile glass. He felt happy once again, a feeling of being in a bliss - as if floating in the sky. It was such a foreign feeling for him, the thought of seeing a growing baby on her womb is something he never once thouhht of, although he love her but nonetheless, he is happy that a life is on her womb. He slowly leaned and kiss her belly.
The thought of having a child is something he never care about before because even if he comes to love her, he thought they will never meet each other again, that it was just an experience and soon she will leave and they will never see each other again.
He doesn't even deserve her, atleast he thinks he does not- he is the reason why she has a scar in her face, and also the reason why her father can't walk properly. He couldn't even fathom the reason why she loves him but even so, he is thankful that she loves him.

"Hey pig wake up."
He whispered to her ears as she groan at him and slap his hands away, he sigh. His Mother explained to him that Mikasa is carrying a child in her womb and he becomes overjoyed by the situation.  His heart felt full when he learned about it, his heart beat fast and an overwhelmed feeling soon entered him. His mother stayed beside him the whole time that he is in Mikasa's room.

"Do you want to eat something first Eren?" Carla ask him.
" She will wake up when she want to, it seems like she is too exhausted. "

Eren look at his mother as he raised to his feet and walk closer to her. "Thank you for taking care of her mother."

"It's nothing, it's like repaying her for being there during those times that I wasn't."
She smiled at her son.
"You have grown so much and I don't even know who you are anymore." She teared up. "I'm sorry, I tried my best protecting you but I really can't protect you, Can I? I'm really sorry Eren."
Tears started falling from her eyes when she said those words, she felt like she failed as a mother.  " I couldn't - I.. I'm so sorry I couldn't give you the life that you deserve, I'm sorry I failed as a parent. "

His heart clenched in pain when she heard his mother say those words, the tears she surpresses for a very long time began falling from his eyes. He failed as her son too, he is not a son his mother could be proud of.
"I couldn't take care of you, I tried protecting you Eren so when they lock me up, I told Yui to take care of you because I know that you will be in good hands when you are with him. He will protect you until the end and I know that because he loves you so much that he could do anything for you. "
She smiled as she touched her son's face but he was so shock, he couldn't utter a single word.

His mind is so befuddle by what his mother just said, he does not know what she meant but his mother is not hostile towards him when they met again, is she? Eren look at his mother with confusion as question began to arise in his mind.
"What do you mean, Mother?"

"What do I mean?" Carla said slowly, confuse with his sudden behavior. "What are you talking about?"

"You hate me…" he whispered , as if those words are final and cpuldn never be change.
"You told me that you never wanted me before."  He said weakly as Carla stared at him in pure shock.

"I never told you that--" Even if she was locked up, only aloud to talk to Grisha before - years may pass but she remembers what she said and she never said those ill words to anyone, much more her own son.
" I don't hate you, who told you that? "

"Yui told me that you hated me Mother, that I ruined your life, that your life would be much better if you never met him. He told me that you never loved me and you woukd be happiar being a waitress than meeting him. " He said as if he is about to burst and cry and the heavy feeling on his heart is back with those mere words, it seems like it would always reach for him and no matter what it will accompany him.
