Partnership

Chapter 27: almost an end but not quite

Levi's pov:

It seems to always rain when there are funerals, I never understood why, maybe the heavens are crying over lost ones. I look over and listened to the person reading a passage from the bible. It was a small funeral, just friends everyone was crying. I walked to Hanji and held the hand Erwin wasn't and squeezed lightly. Why did it have to be today of all days to rain. I sighed and thought about my brat and how much he would have wanted to be here.

"Thanks Levi...." I looked over to Hanji and Erwin who gave me sad smiles. "We're glad you're here we know how hard it is to leave him."

I nodded and kissed her cheek patting her tummy, "You better bring that baby here to this grave every chance you get."

Erwin smiled and pulled me into a hug. I hesitated at first but slowly returned the hug. "You're still going to be the godparents right?" I nodded and smiled.

**flashback**

Hanji stood walking around her hospital room as we all sat there watching her, she took a deep breath and finally laid back down. She wanted all of us there for her ultrasound so she made them move all the equipment to her room. She kicked up quite a fuss. Erwin sat at her side holding onto her hand tightly she looked at all of us and we all held our breath, Erwin reached over and held my hand tightly as well. I hesitated but grabbed Mikasas hand in turn she grabbed Annies. Annie grabbed Armin's and he grabbed Bertls. By the time I looked to the end of our friends I smiled seeing Isabel hold onto Pixis hand. We all looked at the nurse and Hanji.

We watched as Hanji jumped a little as the cold liquid was put on her stomach and the machine was pressed against her abdomen. We all held our breath, the tension was so thick you could almost see it. After a few minutes the nurse gave Hanji a sad look. I watched as tears formed in her eyes she looked over at Erwin as he kissed the back of her hand.

She froze when we all heard a small heartbeat. The nurse turned up the volume on the machine and moved it around Hanji's stomach.

"Come on little guy...where are you hiding." The nurse mumbled to herself and stopped immediately and smiled to Hanji.

We all let our breath go at the same time as Hanji started crying happily, Hell even I wiped my eyes. I swear that damn brat made me soft. I smiled when Hanji plopped back onto the bed rubbing her eyes.

"You had twins...I'm sorry only one of them survived what happened to you..."

Hanji smiled at the nurse and nodded, "I am too but I'm glad he survived." As the nurse left we all let go of our hands and congratulated Hanji.

"Hey guys...I know a lot of people don't usually do this but...I want a funeral..." I looked around and nodded ruffling her hair.

"Then a funeral you shall have shitty glasses."

**End of Flashback**

I smiled down at the grave. "You would have had a beautiful family with lots and lots of aunts and uncles. Since you never got the chance...Your little brother here will have to live every day for both of you." I wiped my eyes again and hugged Hanji. My phone started vibrating as we all started walking to our cars. I picked it up and almost collapsed there. I looked to the others who stared at me confused.

I felt tears roll down my eyes and motioned for them to follow as I jumped into my car. I sped down to the hospital and arrived first. I parked and ran through the doors and waiting room, I ran to room 209 and froze. I felt my knees buckle as I hit the floor crying, I heard footsteps behind me as I looked up.

"Morning Levi.." My beautiful brat sat on his bed staring at me with a smile that lit up my whole world. I slowly rose and stumbled to his side grabbing onto his hand and squeezing tightly as I placed my forehead against his hand and bawled my eyes out. I felt Eren place his other hand on my head and brush through my hair.
