The Ereri Project (#2)

Born (Vampire)

Levi wakes up in the middle of the night to a kind of pain he's never felt.

Scared as he is that this means the twins are coming, he clutches the blanket and his pillow and tries to wait it out. This ends with him curled up on his side around his pillow at the top of the bed, where Eren wakes up to find him. "Levi?" he asks drowsily.

He rubs his eyes and sits up, finally noticing that his mate is, in fact, sweating and close to tears. Eren jerks into full wakefulness. "Are you okay?"

Levi whimpers. "Maybe," he mutters.

Eren gets up and picks Levi up off the bed. "C'mon, we're going to see Hanji."

"No," Levi drawls tiredly. "I'm not ready?"

Eren is walking them to Hanji's lab anyway. "Not ready for what?"

"Being a-" another contraction hits and he grabs Eren's arm wincing.

Eren runs after that and bangs on Hanji's door. "What?!" calls an angry, drowsy Hanji.

"We need you Hanji, come on," Eren says.

"I still have an hour to sleep, go away!" she says.

"Hanji, if you don't come out here you're cleaning up the mess when my kids are born on the floor in the hallway!" Levi shouts in annoyance.

She swings the door open immediately, still tying her robe. "They're coming?"

"Probably," Eren says. "He's in a lot of pain."

Hanji holds out her arms. "I'll get him in bed, you go wake up Erwin. I'll probably need another set of hands."

Eren tries to pass Levi off but the omega hangs onto his mate. "No," he mutters tiredly.

Hanji sighs. "Fine, you get him on the bed, I'll get Moblit to wake up Erwin."

Eren carries him to the bed and lays him down. Levi refuses to let go of his hand. Hanji follows them in after a moment, dressed in scrub pants and an undershirt.

"Alright, how far apart are the contractions?" Hanji asks, pulling her scrub top on and getting gloves.

"I haven't been counting," Levi replies draping an arm over his eyes.

Hanji moves his ankles up into the stirrups. "Consider yourself lucky you're with a doctor who's actually delivered a male omega's baby before," she says. "I remember my first time like it was yesterday, completely terrifying but similar enough to female pregnancy that it wasn't too much trouble to-"

"Hanji, I'll listen to all your extended anecdotes later, just make it stop hurting!"

"Still wanna go natural and without drugs?" she asks, checking his dilation.

"Considering that speech you gave me last week about what those drugs do, I'm going to go with yes so you don't yell at me."

"Wow, you're actually almost there," Hanji says. "This shouldn't take long at all."

Levi groans. Eren gives Levi a sympathetic look and runs his fingers through Levi's sweaty bangs. Levi is kind of dizzy from being so tired so the next hour or so kind of melts into a big smear of pain and Eren trying to calm him down.

He isn't even completely aware or Erwin and Moblit finally coming in.

"Push for me Levi," Hanji says.

Levi braces himself with Eren's hand and pushes. "Raugh!" he shouts. "Fucking shit dick!"

He screams through most of the process in an effort to distract himself from how much it hurts. By the time the first one is out, he's screaming so loud Eren can't hear it crying over Levi.

Moblit takes Farlan to suck the fluid out of his mouth and clean him off while Hanji gets Isabel out as well.

Levi nearly falls asleep once it's all over but Hanji hands Isabel to Eren and tries to hand Levi Farlan. He barely sits up enough to take the newborn from her. Levi stares at the baby's face and his heart melts.
