Experimenting With Miracles // ERERI

Chapter 5

As his pregnancy kept progressing, Hanji had begun calling him to her lab so that she could check his vitals and other general things like his weight and food intake. Levi always made sure he was present during the check ups in case she ever found something unusual while she was checking Eren over.

“Levi, we need to go see Hanji again,” the titan shifter called to his husband.

His senior’s brow was furrowed as he stepped out of their bathroom, “Didn’t we just go see her a week ago?”

Eren rolled his eyes in response, “You know how she gets.”

“Goddamn shitty glasses.”

They were quick to head to her lab in hopes that they wouldn’t have to deal with an unexpected visit to their room. Eren allowed the door to swing open with an audible creak to announce their presence.

“Hanji! We’re here,” the titan shifter said loudly when there wasn’t an immediate response.

“Oh! HELLO MY DEARS,” the woman exclaimed from the other side of the room. There were several loud crashes as she practically leapt over the work benches she had scattered about the room.

The raven haired Corporal wrinkled his nose at the sheer lack of cleanliness, “This place is a disaster waiting to happen.”

Finally she came into their view as she approached them excitedly. “I’m glad you remembered to come this time! Makes things go a lot quicker.” Her eyes then traveled to Eren, her brown eyes going wide as she took in his protruding stomach. “Wow Eren...you're seriously growing quickly,” Hanji observed with nervousness evident in her voice.

Eren immediately picked up on her uncertainty, “..Is that bad?”

“No! Well..” the brunette rubbed the back of her head anxiously, “maybe.. See, this was an extremely experimental thing and I don't really know what the end result may be given your shifting abilities.”

Levi, who stood nearby, narrowed his eyes. “And what the hell is that implying here, shitty glasses?”

The researcher seemed to deliberate her response before replying. “Thing is, Eren’s stomach is bigger than a child should be at this point in time - I mean, he should only be showing a bit,” she stated, “therefore… the possibility is there that the baby could be.. different.”

“Different how ,” Levi ground out venomously.

She bit her lip, “It’s a low chance, but.. Eren could be carrying a titan child.”

“What?!”

Hanji winced at their simultaneous outcry. “We still have limited knowledge about his abilities, it very well could come out a shifter or even a titan! I can’t tell just by looking at his stomach!”

“You are not cutting him open,” Levi spat, “so you had better fucking find out a way to tell.”

Eren was surprised by the ferocity in the other’s tone, “Levi…”

“ No , I'm not going to let you carry if it's a fucking titan.”

He flinched at the cold stare he received. Anger welled in the pit of his stomach, “Even if it has your blood pumping through its veins?! Even then you would have me kill it before it has even lived?!”

“Yes.” There wasn’t even a trace of hesitation in his tone.

He was horrified at that answer. “E-Even if it was our child, y-you'd kill it..?”

“There's a big difference between a child and and a titan,” Levi countered haughtily.

“Oh so I guess there's also a big differencebetween a titan and a human too, huh?” Eren snapped back, hurt reflecting in his green eyes.
