Our Memories

| ATTEMPT 02 | (final attempt)

[ Levi's P.O.V. ]

I laid my head back against my seat, still in disbelief. To clarify, the first pregnancy test I took came out negative. And from there, Eren and I decided to wait before trying again. Days passed and we tried again. I suddenly started developing symptoms, and barely today, June 18th, 2022, I took my second pregnancy test, and to my surprise, it came out positive. After that one, I took a few more just to be sure. They all came out positive. Eren doesn't know, I haven't told him yet. Instead, I wanted to tell him in a more..special way?

Tomorrow is Father's Day so I decided to go out and buy a few things to surprise him. Which leaves me here, in my car with the things I've already bought. Still, my head can't wrap around the fact, that I, a male, am pregnant. It doesn't seem real, yet it is. I can't believe it. I really can't. Already, I feel a mix of emotions. From anxiousness to excitement, giddiness, happiness, worry, and even fear. This is just by far unbelievable. I know Eren's going to be happy, I guess I'm just afraid of what will happen to me. Either way, It's happening, and I'm so nervous.

I drifted my eyes to the bag that contained the items. Swiftly, I grabbed it and proceeded to look through it. What I'm planning is simple, nothing drastic. Rather, it's sappy. But isn't it always when having to tell your partner the big news? Scanning the items, I made sure I had everything. A gray gift box with a black bow to a fountain pen with different colored inks, a plain white card that I will design myself, and lastly my pregnancy test that is in my pocket. And just to not seem suspicious, I bought a few goods Eren likes. Satisfied, I started to drive home. The feeling of excitement intensified within me and the thought of Eren's reaction was all I was able to think about along the way.

Quietly, I unlocked the door and walked inside before shutting it behind me. I looked around for any signs of Eren. Though he was nowhere to be seen, fuck. Deliberately, I walked upstairs and into our bedroom just to see him asleep. Thank fuck, now I just have to be sneaky. With everything I have, I moved extremely silently and cautiously. Somehow, I managed to grab one of my duffel bags and exit the room without him even moving a muscle. Back downstairs, I placed the bags on the kitchen counter before grabbing the newly bought items and transferring them into my duffel bag. I know I'll have to work on this later tonight, it's too risky right now. Especially since Eren is gradually getting better at sneaking up behind me, that little shit.

Placing my test in the bag, I securely zipped it closed and sighed in relief. For one, I'm glad Eren isn't the type that looks through people's shit. And secondly, It's good knowing he's oblivious to surprises. So I know he won't suspect anything as long as I don't let my mask slip. That said, I went back upstairs and stuffed my bag behind the other bags in the closet. Now that I'm looking at it, I have a lot of bags. I should give some away later.

Stepping out of the closet, I made my way to the bed and sat next to my peaceful Eren. My hand made its way to Eren's chocolate soft locks and I watched as my slender fingers slid through them smoothly. God, he's so handsome. His face is so lovely. He's so stunning. I wonder what I did to deserve such a person like him. He's one in a billion, surely. I doubt there's anyone else out there you can find just as loyal, kind, caring, loving, gentle, and so much more like him. Very highly doubt it. And I hope the child inside me will be just like him. Humanity needs more people like him in this brutal yet beautiful world. I can only hope. My lips curved up into a smile as I leaned down and placed a kiss on his forehead. I kept my eyes on his face and only thought of one thing. My love for him. I love him so much that it's becoming indescribable.
