The room fell into a deep, deep silent with only the sound of breathing that could be heard.

Eren and the woman kept staring at each other silently, while the rest of them were watching curiously, yet no one dared to ask what was happening.

Gradually, Levi grabbed Eren's shoulder and turned him around to face the raven. Levi was looking at him with curiosity. As if knowing what the gesture meant, Eren spoke with a low whisper, "Levi... this is my mother."

Steel-blue eyes stared at the woman that Eren claimed as his mother, "But I thought you said—"

"Carla Jaeger. I would recognise my own mother anytime, Levi..." Eren said assuredly.

Levi nodded in understanding and silently opened the door where the two suspected rogues had been held in.

Once it opened, the woman, Carla, was slowly approaching Eren. She put her palms on Eren's cheek, lightly squeezing them before she rested her head against Eren, and started to sob, "My baby..."

"You're alive," Eren whispered before he began to cry in relief, "Mom, mother, I thought—"

"Yes, I am alive. I am glad that you too," Carla said with closed eyes, only to snapped them back open with sudden realisation, "Where are Armin and Mikasa? Oh please tell me that they—"

"They alive, they are here."

As if on cue, Armin and Mikasa arrived with Jean who guided them to the dungeon and immediately back to his night duty on guarding the castle.

Mikasa ran and immediately hugged Carla with all her might as she whispered, "How?"

Carla let go of the hug and turned her head toward the other woman with long brown hair and soft amber eyes who kept herself silent up until now, "I would be dead had it not because of her. Rose-Maria."

Suddenly, Levi interrupted, "I am sorry. But I think it would be more comfortable if we head upstairs and move into the living room."

"You are the Alpha of the pack? Would you please let your doctor pack to check up on Rose? She's been hit on her stomach, hard. I am worried about the baby inside her. I know it's not that major, but still..." Carla pleaded. Her mother instinct was kicking in.

"I will bring the doctor pack," Farlan volunteered.

"I am coming with Farlan," Isabel retorted. She then turned to Levi, "Oluo, Eld, and Gunther already back into guarding the territory, by the way."

Levi nodded thankfully at Farlan and Isabel. When they walked away in hurry, Levi turned to Eren, "Shall we head upstairs too?"

"Yeah, okay. Come on, mom," Eren guided her mother with Mikasa, while Levi and Armin followed behind with Rose-Maria.

One check-up from Petra later, everyone can let out a relief sigh since Rose-Maria and the baby was okay. Of course she and the baby would be okay, they both were-creatures after all. After making sure of that, they were gathering in the living room, all warm and cozy, except for Petra who went back to her room.

"Mom, tell me how you survived the attack," Eren ushered his mother once they were all seated nicely on the comfortable sofa.

Carla nodded and turned to Levi, "Alpha, if you allow me to explain?"

"Please do, Carla. Also, just call me Levi."

Carla looked at Rose-Maria and gave each other knowing look before she started, "I was dying from all the fighting, you know? But I remember that my Eren, Mikasa, and Armin were out there, alive. I knew that for sure. So I tried my best not to die just yet and tried to run away."
