*December 5th, 1:45 p.m.*
Eren and Armin had ended up convincing a few people to come have lunch with them and Mathilda outside. Mathilda was a very social girl, and loved spending time with everyone.
They had laid a giant blanket out under the trees. The girl sat patiently in Eren's lap and played with a teddy bear.
"Mommy, why eat outside?" She asked, giving a cute head tilt. Armin turned to her and smiled.
"Because it looks pretty out. Don't you think the sky looks pretty?"
She looked up at the clouds and smiled.
"Yeah, pretty."
They smiled and took in their scenery. The sky was bright blue and clouds were strewn across the sky. The grass was bright green and soft, with it being spring and showers keeping all the greenery watered.
"Hey guys!" Came a voice from their right. They all turned to look, and saw Connie, Sasha, Levi, and Hanji coming to sit with them. Eren and Armin waved at them, and Mathilda giggled, excited to see them. Once they were only a few feet away, she got up and ran towards them, hugging onto Connie's legs. He patted her back and picked her up.
"Hey, Tilly! We came to eat lunch with you!" He informed her. Her eyes lit up and she giggled.
"Really?"
"Yeah, of course! Happy Birthday, girlie." He told her. She hugged him and giggled. Laying on his shoulder, she looked and saw the other three, so she sat up and waved to them.
"Hii!" She yelled to them. They laughed, except for Levi, but all waved back at her. She wiggled in the bald boy's arms until he set her onto her feet. She waddled over to Sasha and held her hands out.
"Hug?" She asked. Sasha awwed and bent down, giving her a hug.
"Aww, you're so cute, Mathilda!" Sasha held her close and smiled widely. She loved the girl like her own family. She was like her niece, now.
"Tank you." She responded to the compliment and then pulled away. She walked up to Levi's legs and hugged one, leaning her head against him. He bent down and ruffled her hair before she ran over to Hanji. They picked the girl up and twirled around with her, making her laugh.
"Well, go ahead and sit down wherever." Armin told them all, Hanji setting the girl back onto her own feet and letting her toddle over to her Dad.
"Daddy!" She shouted and giggled when she was able to grip onto his shirt. He lifted her into his lap and she stood on his legs. Her hands immediately latched onto his hair and she played with it. Taking strands and twisting, flipping hair onto the opposite site, pushing it all back.
"Like hair, Daddy." She told him, looking down at him and smiling. He chuckled and pat her back.
"You like my hair?"
"Ya."
"Well thank you, mamas. I like your hair, too."
"Like my hair?"
He chuckled, realizing she was copying him.
"I do. It's very bouncy and curly."
She giggled and tried to climb up his chest until he picked her up to hold her.
"Wuv you." She mumbled and nuzzled into his neck. She wasn't tired, but she laid still, except for her hands still in his hair, combing and twisting.
"Love you, too. You're so cuddly lately."
"Like cuddles." She said, still focused on the dark brown strands between her fingers.
"I can tell. Are you ready to eat soon?"
She nodded eagerly, making him chuckle. She sat up and looked in Eren's hidden pocket of his black overcoat and pulled out her pacifier, popping it into her mouth.
"Look at you, you already know where to check, don't you? Such a smart girl, just like Mommy." He smiled at her. She giggled and leaned back onto him, continuing her earlier activities.
"She's so cute." Connie commented from his right side, waving at the girl when she looked over. Eren chuckled and nodded.
"Yeah. Oh yeah, Mathilda, tell your uncle Connie what you did earlier."
She looked up at him and shook her head while giggling.
"I do nuffin" She responded, a devious little smile on her face. It soon clicked in Eren's head that she was feigning innocence.
"You liar liar. What did you do this morning?" He teased her.
"Eats an wake up."
"And you were wearing mine and Mommy's clothes." Eren answered for her, tickling her. She squirmed and laughed loudly. Armin turned and looked over, laughing at what he saw.
Connie was also laughing. He was also a little weirded out by the sound of his name with an honorific such as 'Uncle'.
"Well did your outfit look cool, at least?" Connie asked her when she finally settled down.
"Yeah! Look awesome! See Daddy, Unca Connie like it!"
Eren chuckled and nodded.
"I guess. But those clothes are way too big. My shirt would fit you like a dress." He laughed with Connie. It was silent before the curly haired girl spoke up again.
"Can I go nini in?"
"Right bow?"
"No, in the clotes. I go ni ni in."
"In what, my shirt?"
"Mhm." She affirmed with a nod. He nodded back and she got up, waddling over to Sasha. Eren looked over at Connie and shrugged before starting a random conversation.
About ten-fifteen minutes went by until, finally, Jean waltzed in with a basket and Christa, Ymir, and Mikasa behind him.
"Now we can begin the real party!" Jean said smugly. Eren would've punched him if it wasn't for his daughter's birthday, or her just being around in general.
