What If...: The Story of What Could Have Been

Some Big News

The next morning was like how it was for Lily's home but this time Lily was cooking for the two of them like every normal housewife would do. Once Maxwell was gone and out the door, she left for her bedroom. She then plopped herself near the bedroom phone.

Lily waited in the room, thinking about everything she has ever done. How she wished she could redo things, especially two nights in her life. The first one being never talking to Maxwell and the other is sleeping with him which she still barely could remember. She was about to fall asleep but the sudden sound of the phone ringing woke her up. She woke up and quickly answered the phone. She sighed in relief that Maxwell wasn't home.

"Hello. This is Lily Highland speaking." God she hated to say that name.

"Lily. Is there something you're not telling me?" Muller asked her. Lily was confused for a moment.

"What do you mean?" She asked.

"Did you have sex?" He asked plainly. Lily's eyes widened.

"What? I-I yes I did but wh-"

"You're pregnant." He stated. Lily then felt everything in her world start to crash and burn in a matter of two words.

"N-no. I can't be. Muller I-" She was baffled by the idea of being pregnant.

"From the results, you're six weeks in." He said. Lily began to calculate how long she was gone and realized what happened.

"Muller. You cannot tell anyone what I'm gonna tell you ok?" She asked him, her hands on his shoulder. Muller nodded.

"Of course."

Muller nodded at the explaination he was given.

"I'm so sorry Lily..." he said. Lily sighed and rubbed her arms.

"I just don't know how to tell him. He will freak out and then... Muller everything will become ruined." She explained. Muller nodded and sighed as well.

"Everything will be alright ok? You have to tell him." He told her. Lily nodded and grabbed her bag.

"Thank you Muller. For everything." She said sweetly. Muller nodded and kept his smile.

"Of course Lily. You can always trust me." He answered her. Lily smiled at his words and nodded.

"Well. I should go tell the baby's father the news;" She said. Muller nodded and Lily could tell. "Goodbye Muller."

"Goodbye Lily." He then hung up. Lily put her phone down and got up, her bag in her hand. She then realized that she needed the phone again and quickly picked it up, making two calls. One for a cab and the other for a gynecologist.

The cab reached the prison and out came Lily with a nervous look on her face. She soon was sitting in a chair at a table in a dimly lit room. Out came Eren, his hair a bit messy but it suited him. Lily went over and hugged him. Eren smiled and moved his arms to where she was inside of the handcuffs he had. The two smiled and she touched his face, his bruises now gone and a small scar on his upper lip which she found kind of nice.

"Eren. I have to tell you something." Lily said once the two had their reconnection. Eren pulled her out of his arms and they sat down.

"What's wrong? I can see fear in your eyes." He said to her, touching one of her hands once they were on the table. Lily took a deep breath and sighed gently.

"Eren. This isn't easy to tell you but..." she stopped at the fear of one of Maxwell's men would overhear and kill Eren.

"But what? You can't come here anymore?" He asked her. Lily shook her head quickly.
