"L-Levi... I'm sorry..." I apologized to him again. My face was plastered everywhere... and I was a wanted criminal. We kept traveling south. I hoped that it will all go away, and I can live in peace with Levi and our baby.

He sighed, clearly tired of this. "Hanji, it's okay. Right now, we have to go to the country or something... hide from the world for now until everything dies down, okay? They don't know me, so I'm safe for now, okay? You need to stay in the dark, sweetie... but I won't leave you..."

I nod, sighing softly. I should never have attacked that girl... now the officers are trying to come after me. But this... my hands began to rub my baby bump... I can't just give up. Levi's baby is inside me... and I'm just doing my best to keep it in a healthy state. And if these events don't calm down in the next 9 months or so... Levi will have to have the knowledge to help me give birth without any other attention.

6 months passed... and I felt that it was getting worse... but it wasn't. Levi said it should be normal... and it just saddens me to see him not able to give me love because he wanted to be gentle. But he still greeted me with kisses and hugs.

Everything then died down a bit as the police had no leads on me... and a doctor had to examine me. It was risky... but we had to ensure that my baby was still in a healthy state. Levi was willing to take the blame and make me run away.

We followed everything... the check-up was normal... and it was time to see the baby's gender. She began to spread the gel on my stomach and soon put a stick on the gel. The speakers boomed softly as I heard it garble and soon... a steady heartbeat. On the screen showed a small fetus... and I gasped.

It was small and just still. "So far, it looks like a girl." The doctor says with a small smile. "Which means that there's a possibility that it could be a boy... but I would've seen some other developments. Might be a girl until you give birth." She chuckles, turning all the equipment off.

"Dr. Rina, um... what can we do throughout the whole pregnancy until she gives birth?" Levi asks as Dr. Rina began to help remove the gel from my stomach. "This is our first time..."

She chuckles, "I know. I can tell from a couple who's expecting the first time from a couple who had children before. But... for first timers... this is gonna be the hardest. Right now, Hannah needs to be in a safe environment at all times. She cannot be out and about. Any damage to her stomach means a damage to the baby. She also needs to have a lot of food relating to vitamins and enough nutrients. Please understand that this is all needed for a healthy baby- especially at your 6 month mark."

I nodded, smiling. "Thank you..."

"That is my job. No need to thank me. Listen here, please be extremely careful, ma'am. I feel a lot of stress on you, and that's not good for the baby. You need to remain calm and take classes for breathing exercises and practice drills. Please... can you do that for me?"

How could I be calm when people are still hunting me down like I was prey? Tch... I gazed up to Levi who was calmly holding my hand and staring at me with a happy smile. I nodded with a soft sigh- after all... Levi was protecting me...

"I will do just that..."
