A/N: And here is the last chapter!! "Shock" will always be in my heart as my first, complete fanfiction. And the story doesn't end here. Remember the epilogue. Remember the sequels.

(TIME SKIP: Two weeks later)

"Hold on, Petra," Levi panted, clutching his lover's hand as she was  to her room. The orange-haired girl had been sweating and groaning like crazy, clutching her abdomen. Her contractions had begun 10 hours prior whilst she was reading, and they were starting to become rhythmic in timing. Levi, of course, stayed calm and took her to the hospital, where she was now about to birth their child.

"L-Leevii," she groaned before belting out a shrill scream, "HELP!! PLEASE!!! IT HURTS!!!! IT F***ING HURTS!!!!" 

"Hold on, Private," the nurse replied, only to a slap to the arm.

"I WILL NOT HOLD ON!!!!" Petra shrieked, "MY BABY IS COMING AND IT'S COMING FAST!!!!! CAN'T THIS THING GO ANY FASTER!!!!!!!???????"

The nurse could only do so much as let out a small meep and sprint to the hospital suite. Petra whimpered as she transferred herself to the small hospital bed, with Levi in tow. Her whimpers soon grew quiet as the doctor approached, her hair frayed and her eyes wide.

Long story short (I don't know how these things go), Petra's contractions became regular to the point where she could only groan in pain. It was around the 10th contraction when the doctors and nurses told her to start pushing. Petra whimpered in reply, considering it was going to be a long, painful, and ever so bumpy ride. She squeezed Levi's hand, upon which he stroked her hair.

"I-I-I" Petra stuttered, only for her lover to shush her.

"You are one the strongest women I know," he said, kissing her head, "You managed to take a Titan's foot to the back and survive. You managed to take a bullet to the abdomen and survive. You can survive this."

It was as if he spoke the perfect words. The most perfect words. At that moment, Petra smiled before letting out a guttural scream. One scream became 10... upon which the doctor saw the head.

"Only the head," Petra groaned before crying, "LEVI ACKERMAN, YOU STUPID TWAT!!!! ONCE THIS IS ALL OVER, I WILL RIP OFF WHATEVER IS LEFT OF YOUR GENITALS AND FEED THEM TO YOU!!! YOU ARE A WORM!! A WORM FACED WORM WHO SHOULD SOIL THEMSELVES LIKE A DOG!!! A WORM!!!! A WORM I SAY!!!!"

Levi remained silent.

10 pushes later, only the legs remained.

"One more, Ms. Ral," the doctor shouted, "One more and you'll be done."

"Please, no more!!!" Petra groaned, "I can't do this anymore."

"Yes you can," Levi shouted, causing Petra to flinch a little, "Don't you remember all of the times when we would talk to our baby?? When we would tell them how excited we are about meeting them!! Well, that moment is about to happen, Petra. We're finally gonna become parents. We're gonna feel the joys and face the challenges of a kid running around all over the place!! So just push!! One more!! And give it the best you got."

Petra could only look at the raven-haired man and realize that he was right. She had spent nine months carrying her baby. Nine months waiting to see it. And she faced worse things before. 

So with all of her might, Petra had belted out one, guttural, shrill shriek.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

That's when they both heard it. A shrill, yet small cry escaping into the hospital room. Petra attempted to raise her head to see it, but she found that she couldn't. Luckily, the doctor managed to bring the baby to her. Swaddled in a white blanket. There it was.

There he was.

Petra almost yanked her baby out of the doctor's arms, cradling with a firm, yet gentle hold. Levi could only stare down at the baby. His son, her son, their son. 

"My baby," Petra cried, the biggest smile gracing her lips, "Oh, my baby boy. Welcome to the world. I'm so happy to see you."

"Levi remained silent. He felt something wet escape the corner of his eyes and run down his cheeks. His baby boy. His beautiful baby boy. He leaned down and gave his son a kiss on the forehead. At that moment, the baby opened his eyes. Amber eyes gleamed up at the two, curiosity spreading as the child took in the image of his parents. 

"Sorry to break up your moment," the doctor replied, a small smile on her lips, "But I'm afraid Baby Ackerman is gonna need to be cleaned up."

"Of course," Petra replied, giving her son one last kiss before handing him to the doctor.

Soon afterward, Baby Ackerman had been in the lovers' arms again, swaddled in a blue blanket. Petra looked up at Levi, and he curled up in the hospital bed with her.

"I'm so sorry about all of the things I said," Petra said solemnly.

"It's alright," he said, "I was expecting it. Plus, it was worth it because our baby boy is here."

Petra laughed, full of sunshine and happiness, before kissing Levi's lips.

"I guess you were right about it being a boy," she said.

"Are you disappointed?" Levi asked.

"Not at all!!!" Petra replied, offended, before smothering the baby's face with kisses "Boy or girl, I will love little Baby Ackerman with all my heart. Now and forever."

"Me too," Levi replied, "But he's gonna need a name."

"I know," Petra replied, "What if we named him after you uncle?"

"Kenny," Levi gagged, "No way!! Our son is so little and precious. Kenny was a bit of a jerk, a tad crazy, and a murderer."

"Sorry," Petra laughed, "Hange kept suggesting the name Sonny, but our son doesn't look like a Sonny."

"Not to mention that Sonny was a mindless Titan," Levi replied. 

For the longest time, the two simply stared at the baby, who was gurgling happily in Petra's arms. The baby's honey-colored eyes was full of happiness due to the time he was spending with his parents, and Levi couldn't help but smile. But that was when he had an epiphany, as if everything came together. 

"Petra?" He asked.

"Hmmm?" She said, staring at him sweetly.

"What do you think of the name.... Silas."

Petra let the name settle in before staring at her baby once again. The gurgling ball of joy suddenly looked like a Silas. He felt like a Silas. 

"Silas Ackerman," Petra hummed before kissing the baby's forehead, "I love it."

"Silas it is?" Levi asked hopefully.

"Silas it is," Petra nodded, "Welcome to the world, Silas. Mommy and Daddy are so happy to meet you."

Levi smiled before turning towards Petra, as did she. They leaned in before planting their lips upon each other, inhaling each other's breath. They stared there for a long time, just the two of them. Eventually, Silas wanted attention, so they turned back to him, speaking with their child.
