Experimenting With Miracles // ERERI

Chapter 2

Eren supposed he should have seen it coming, but even if he had he didn't think he would've been prepared for it. Since telling him of the news of approaching parenthood, Levi had gotten incredibly protective. The small things he had done before the news was nothing compared to what he was doing now. Truthfully, it kind of scared him.

His morning sickness routine continued, much to both of their chagrin. Though occasionally he was able to stay quiet about it and let Levi rest. He felt bad for being one of the causes behind his lover’s insomnia.

His stomach was still mostly flat but Hanji assured him that was perfectly normal, she supposed he wouldn’t begin showing until 15-18 weeks. Despite the relative flatness, he was already noticing some subtle changes.

Otherwise things continued as normal - Levi did paperwork and oversaw training, Eren helped clean and went to training, and Hanji kidnapped the shifter occasionally to try and figure out more about his condition.

As things kept progressing, the eccentric researcher came to a conclusion: “We need to tell Erwin so he can officially put you on light duty.”

Eren had quickly realized the fragility of his state of being. It was unknown territory, so the safer they played things, the less likely there would be any kind of mishaps. “Alright,” he conceded, “but I want Levi there. He knows Commander Erwin better… and he’s a more credible source.”

Hanji pouted, “Are you calling me untrustworthy?”

“No,” he replied with a laugh, “just a bit overenthusiastic. The Commander is more likely to believe this is actually happening if we have Levi with us.”

“Hmph.. Well can't really argue with that one..”

Together the two of them went to the said Corporal’s office. Hanji went to knock on the door - for once - but Eren just opened it and walked in.

Levi looked up expectantly, giving a small grunt when Eren plopped onto his lap. “What do you want brat?”

The shock that the short Corporal hadn't gotten pissed off about their lack of knocking had yet to wear off for Hanji. She gaped dumbly from the door.

“Hanji thinks we need to tell Commander Erwin about me so he can officially put me on “light duty”.”

“And this pertains to me how?”

The brunette gave him a loving smile, “That man trusts you a lot, so we figured he would believe I'm actually pregnant if you're there to help break the news.”

A small smirk appeared on the senior’s face, “So you want me to tell him I knocked you up?”

Eren flushed, “Maybe in a more eloquent way but yes - more or less.”

“Tch, fine,” Levi scoffed, “get up then.”

He pouted slightly, crossing his arms, “Where’s my kiss?”

Gray orbs rolled with exasperation, “Eren, really?”

“Yes.”

Eren let out a small yelp as he was wrenched closer, his pulse echoed dully in his ears.

“You’re ridiculous,” the other breathed before kissing him deeply.

Hanji let out a long sigh, “And this is how things all started…”

Levi flipped her off as he deepened the kiss.

“Can we go now,” she teased, “or do you two need to make sure Levi’s seeds were properly planted?”
