A Little Bit Human (Erwin x OC)

65: Deceiver

"Lieutenant." Floch smiled down at her. He was always tall, but Lillian credited half of it to his ridiculous hair.

"Floch, you can call me Lillian. I haven't been a Scout for two years." She bumped her newly born sons in her arms. "How has it been? I know how quickly things are changing."

"Seems to be changing too much. Now we have Marleyans running around the island like they haven't killed so many of us."

Lillian nodded. He was very passionate about certain things, Lillian wished he would focus his passion on other things. "They are still our prisoners, they aren't just running around the island Floch." She shook her head, but smiled, easing whatever tension was about to start.

"I'm guessing you're here for Erwin?"

"I'm here for more than Erwin, he stole something that he isn't supposed to have."

"Yeah, I was curious about that." Floch laughed. "I'll take you to him."

"Thank you." She readjusted the two boys in her arms and followed Floch. Now that Wall Maria was reclaimed the Scouts once again changed their base, Lillian wasn't used to the layout. She had only been there a couple times before, and most of the time someone would direct her straight to Erwin's office.

The sounds of a little kid's laughter could be heard from behind the door of his office. Lillian, just like she had so many times before, didn't bother to knock before opening the door.

"Mommy!" Her daughter squealed. Carina was perched in her father's lap, "helping" her father with his work.

"Erwin." Lillian greeted her husband with a forced smile. "When you said that Carina wanted to sleep in, I wasn't expecting that you would just kidnap our child." She walked over to Erwin and set Kenny in his arms. "I walked into her room to wake her up, and she wasn't there. It almost gave me a heart attack." 

"I'm sorry, she just wanted to go to work today with me. She kept on saying how much she missed me." Erwin kissed his son's head. Carina climbed on her father, one of her hands holding onto his bolo tie and the other held onto the collar of his shirt for balance.

"Yes, our one year old, who can only say a couple words, begged to go to work with you." Lillian rolled her eyes. She gave Miche to Erwin then took Carina.

"I don't mind having her spend the day here." Erwin smiled down at his sons and kissed each of their heads.

"Well she might have to. I can't take all three of them home by myself." Lillian bounced Carina up and down in her arms. "Do you wanna stay with daddy?" Lillian asked her daughter.

"Yeah." Carina answered in a squeaky voice.

"Or do you wanna stay with me?"

Carina looked between her two parents. "Yeah." She wanted to stay with both of them.

"I can help take the Lieutenant-I mean Lillian home if you need it?" Floch, who both Lillian and Erwin forgot was there, said.

"That's a sweet offer." Lillian turned her head away from Carina as she pulled on her mother's hair. "But I think these crazy kids are too much for you."

Somehow Lillian did end up going home with all three of her children and Floch in tow to help. Since Lillian and Erwin lived just outside of Shiganshina the walk was only a couple kilometers. Which to Lillian wasn't bad, until she had three children under three to take care of.

"It was very sweet of you to help." Lillian closed the door behind them. She put all three children down for a nap even though it was still quite early in the day.
