(Levi x Petra) Shock

Chapter Thirty-Three: Due Date

A/N: Hello, my beloved readers. Though "Shock" won't come to an abrupt end, I am starting to run out out ideas. So the story may end at the next chapter (with an epilogue included). And due to high school, I won't have much time on Wattpad. But do not fret!! I will write as much as I can. An in the last three chapters to come, it will be nothing but Rivetra sweetness!! Also, the story doesn't necessarily end from here. After "Shock," there will be an Eren x Annie spiritual sequel. If you don't ship that, then you don't have to read it. However, after that will be a series of fanfics known as "Attack on Titan: The Next Generations." It will be complete with it's own guidebook!!

So, without further ado, let's catch up with some sweetness!!

(TIME SKIP: SIX MONTHS LATER

 After Chapter 109 of Attack on Titan)

"Petra??" Levi called as he gingerly walked into his apartment. Though it had been spotlessly clean, Levi couldn't help but take in the new changes. When Petra moved in five months ago, a few adjustments were made (on courtesy of Hange and a surprisingly supportive Darius Zackly). There were now two coats hanging on the rack. The apartment had a wonderful mixture of cinnamon, sugar, honey, and all of the spices in the world mixed with peaches. There were new electric appliances such as a fridge, a stove, an oven, and a microwave. Plus, the living area had been decorated in pleasant autumn colors such as red, orange, yellow, maroon, and chestnut brown. It gave off a sense of family the second you walked in. Either way, enough of that.

"Petra?" Levi called out. 

"In here, darling," Petra had waddled out in her white, extra large shirt and pink maternity dress. She was now nine months pregnant, her middle being as round as a child's play ball. Otherwise, she didn't look or act any different than pre-pregnancy Petra Ral. Apart from the mood swings, morning sickness, cravings, etc. But otherwise, she was still the same-old Petra who he loved.

"Sorry I'm late," Levi said as he kissed her cheek. He leaned down to plant another peck on her round middle, "Beardie the Human Monkey didn't someone to tuck him in bed again."

"It's alright," Petra replied, giggling, "And you probably shouldn't tell Eren that you called his brother that."

"Why would I tell Eren anything?" Levi asked, raising an eyebrow. 

Petra smiled before stroking her abdomen. 

"Levi, even though Eren has been going through a little 'rebel phase,' you are still his friend," she said, "You confide in him. He confides in you-"

"You do that too, you know," Levi smiled.

"Maybe," Petra shrugged her shoulders, "But you do it more, you know."

"Fine, fine," Levi replied, "But let's forget about everything else. I want to know about what the doctor said. And your new job."

I should probably explain. Petra wasn't necessarily discharged from the Survey Corps. The military branches had also found out about Petra's past as a doctor, so they offered her a job as both a doctor and a combat nurse.

"I love it! I was honestly missing my days as a doctor, so this was perfect. Plus, with this, I can be close to the baby as much as I can."

"That's wonderful," Levi replied, "Wait 'till I brag about my lady, Dr. Ral."

Petra bit her lip before she speak, her hand intertwined with Levi's as they sat down on their couch.

"As for my special appointments, I am due in a week," Petra said. "So I've packed some bags in case we need to go right now."

Levi raised his eyebrow, a look of confusion spreading across his eyes. 

"But you're only due in a week," Levi replied.

Petra giggled once again.

"Silly. Sometimes babies come earlier than their due date. Or they will come right on time or after," Petra replied.

Levi laughed, a throaty chuckle that Petra had loved so much. 

"Silly me," he said as he kissed her forehead, "Whichever way, he gets to choose."

"How are you so sure it's a boy?" Petra asked.

"Just a feeling in my gut," he replied.

"Whatever," she laughed, "We'll find out soon."
