Mathilda - 3
Jonah - 7
Sorry that the chapter is a little short, but I'll try to make a longer chapter next week!
____________________________
Mathilda ran through the halls to the room that she and Jonah shared.
Now that Jonah was 7, he had to do schooling with Armin or Hanji for a few hours almost everyday. That means Mathilda can't play with him all of the time. Now, she has to do things by herself.
Thankfully her Dad had no chores or jobs today.
"Daddy! Daddy! Let's do dress-up! Pleeaasse!?"
He turned to look at her from where he was lacing up his boots.
"I'm sorry, princess, I have to do some training. But I promise we can after dinner, okay?"
She whined and slumped over. He walked over and picked her up to place a kiss on her head.
"I know, I'm sorry mamas. Why don't you go play with Jonah or Papa?"
She huffed and slammed her head into his shoulder, playing with the hair now just barely past his shoulders.
"Papa's teaching Jonah school stuff! I don't know what it is and I tried to stay one time and it was too hard! I just got to sit and color while they do stuff! I wanna be with Jonah or Papa or Daddy! But I can't do what you guys do!" She cried to him. He sat her on the bed and looked her in the eyes.
"Mathilda, I'm so glad you told me how you're feeling. I'm sorry you feel like that, mamas. I promise we'll find a way to make it all better, okay?"
She nodded and wiped her nose on her sleeve.
"I love you, Tilly. I still have to do training today. Why don't you take Snow and visit Auntie Mika or Auntie Christa?"
Her eyes widened and she nodded.
"Me and Snow are gonna cuddle with Auntie Christa."
He smiled and nodded.
"Okay, Tilly. I'll see you in a few hours. Love you mamas!" He called as she got her shoes on.
"Love you too, Daddy!"
As he left, leaving the door open behind him, Mathilda hummed as she walked out to the dining hall to unlock the cage in the back of the room. Now that she had her bunny, she went to the girls room and found Christa sitting with Ymir. Mathilda placed them bunny on the bed before climbing up.
She was finally noticed when she let out a grunt while pulling herself up the side.
"Hey, Matty!" Christa greeted, pulling her up onto the bed. The girl crawled into her lap and curled into her. Snow came and plopped himself down next to her, sniffing her hair and checking on her.
"I just wanted cuddles." The brunette girl tells her. Christa cooed at her and let Mathilda be held. While Christa and Mathilda held each other, Ymir played around with the bunny, making the youngest girl laugh.

After Armin was finished with Jonah's schooling for the day, he let him go play while he checked in with Eren.
"Eren?" He asked as he opened the door to their bedroom. He finds it empty; a rare sight these days.
"Eren? Tilly?" He walks out to see Eren in the dining hall, chugging down water.
"Eren! Do you know where Mathilda is?" He asked, coming to jog beside him.
"Oh, hey Armin. She should be with Christa or Mikasa. Why, did something happen?" He asked, becoming increasingly more worried with each sentence.
"No, the room was just completely empty. Haven't seen it like that in quite a while!" He said. Eren sighed in relief and chuckled.
"Yeah. She was pretty upset earlier." The brunette commented, making Armin tilt his head.
"What was she upset over?"
"She was upset that everyone had something to do except her. I think she's starting to feel left out." He said while refilling his cup with water to drain again.
"Oh, our poor baby. I didn't even notice. I feel so bad now..."
Eren patted his back, setting the cup on the counter.
"Don't worry, Armin, at least she's telling us how she feels! Just let her know that you love her and you'll try to include her in things. I was thinking we'd sit down and have a talk with the kids tonight anyways."
He nodded and they talked for a while more until Eren had to get back to training. While Armin went back to finding Mathilda.
Once he found her, she was curled up across Christa and Ymir; nearly asleep with Snow laying on her back. He smiled and waved at them, stepping in after they saw him.
"Hey, just checking on Mathilda. Has she been good?"
"Yeah, she's great! She said she was a little sad that no one wanted to do anything, but I think she's alright now." Christa responded. Armin nodded and smiled at her.
"Do you want me to take her off of your hands or are you enjoying this?" Armin asked humorously. Christa laughed and shook her head.
"No, you can take her, Armin. I think she needs to sleep in her own bed, anyways." She smiled. While Christa lifted Snow off of her back, Armin lifted Mathilda into his arms.
"Go lay her down, hon. I'll take her bunny to his cage."
Armin thanked her and took her to lay down in her bed.
'Guess that talk will have to wait until tomorrow.' He thought to himself.
