Your POV

I wipe off the sweat on my forehead. I glance around, admiring my completed work. I sighed out loud and picked up the cleaning supplies. I will finally get the rest of the time to rest, I thought to myself as I turned a corner.

If you question how I got myself in cleaning the whole HQ, well, technically, I did this by choice. It all began with Eren and Jean's daily quarrels. Honestly, this has been much more major than just any casual name calling contest. A couple of people were dragged into this, since they might have been cheering from the side.

So, you can tell who gave them the punishment of-well, who caught them.

I was standing right outside his office's door and raised a hand to knock. As my fist was almost touching the door, I heard footsteps from the side. I glance over and see Hanji running. Before I could have a chance to say hello, she gripped onto my wrist and pulled me to follow her. Wonder what she will do this time.

"Y/n, I need you to do me a huge favor for me," she said. I nod my head, signaling her to continue. "So, I may have been working on some sort of experiment. I may have tested it on your Cadet buddies?"

I felt a cold shiver down my back as she finished her last statement. We paused in front of the doors of the Mess Hall. I got the chance to ask her something. "Uh, are they...well...still alright?"

Hanji smiled. "Why don't you go see for yourself?"

I stood straight back up and practically pushed her out of the way and pushed the doors open, only to face plant onto the floor. As I opened the door, I was welcomed with the sound of a baby like coos and squeals. That was when I finally decided to look up.

Slight relief washed over me as the cadets were healthy and still in motion. Though, they happen to be... babies.

I felt a warm feeling in my stomach once I caught the eye of a baby boy with teal green eyes crawling over to me and tried to climb onto my back. I flip over so that I'm lying on my back and said to Hanji, "What did you do, exactly?"

Hanji placed a hand behind her neck before saying, "I was searching for Eren to see if he could try this drink I make. It was originally suppose to help him keep his stamina up so that he can remain in his Titan form. But Eren happened to punch the drink out my hand and then glass shattered everywhere. I had to rush out to get the broom before anyone gets hurt. I come back and smell something strange. I enter the room, they were kids!"

I sigh, before resting my hand on top of the child's head. Right as I thought my day was over and I could have a nice rest. I gaze around the room hearing babbles from the babies before looking up at Hanji. "So you're practically asking me to babysit, correct?"

"Yes,  since you weren't here," Hanji spoke quickly as she picked up a girl with blonde hair, to which the baby giggled in response. Another brunet child was at her legs tugging at her pants, whining.

"I'm... not so good at handling children, though," I muttered.

"Well," Hanji stated before putting Krista back down, "Not only do I have to fix the drink but  I have to tell Levi about the whole situation. I can't do all those things at once, so I need you to help out!

"Besides, you like children! And before you speak, I see you go outside just to watch the little children playing!"

I stopped stroking the baby on my stomach as she spoke out my secret. Well dang it! (Yes, Author-Chan really likes children, don't judge please). 

"Alright, alright, you got me," I said, "How long is this effect suppose to last?"

"48 hours."

Once again, Y/n.EXE has stopped working. 2 days of handling a group of babies on my own? As much as I like kids 2 days with them alone is- oh ma gad they're gonna have nightmares of me!
