Hanji's POV

2 months pregnant, and the baby bump was already showing up. I rubbed it gently, thinking of all my thoughts of having a child once... and I was finally having the chance to do so. A child... names... how to plan for their future... so many things ran through my head about my future child. This would be my very first one... yet Levi's expecting his second child. Already, he's more experienced than me- and I'm expected to follow his example of caring for our next child. Except, he tells me that I handle Eren way better than he does. Does that mean I would be a great mother already?

"Hanji!" I turned and see Eren already munching on a few chocolate chip cookies- and I smiled brightly. He was such an innocent boy... "C-Can we go out somewhere to eat for dinner?"

"Sorry, buddy. Your father decided to take me out on a date tonight... and we're gonna be home late." He then looks down, but immediately perks up with a huge smile. "Don't worry, Nananba is gonna be the best babysitter- she's gonna be like me. So, be nice to her."

He nods, "Okay! C-Come back soon!" I chuckled, walking into our bedroom and began to change into some fancy clothes.

Levi... the man who I ran into because of his lost child... and Eren forcing us onto each other so we can fall in love. Heh... all the works by a 5 year old. I then dressed in a nice tan dress with brown leggings. I brushed my hair, decorating it nicely instead of its usual messy state. That's when I got confused about what to do about my glasses. Levi said it's a date; I want to look nice for him. Glasses or contacts? I sighed and went with one of the options.

Levi's POV

When I dropped by the apartment to pick Hanji up, my jaw dropped. She was... too beautiful. I know I kept teasing her about her glasses... but I never thought she would look beyond beautiful without them. Contacts? I assume she was wearing them, otherwise she would be stumbling all over the place.

She then got into the passenger seat, smiling brightly and rubbing her small baby bump. "So... what makes this night so special?"

I kissed her on her strawberry lips and smirked. "You'll find out when we get there..."

About an hour into dinner, Hanji and I both agreed that we wanted to get some dessert for Eren. Knowing that rascal, he wants chocolate cake... so we ordered a large one to go. What Hanji didn't know was that I ordered a small brownie cake for Hanji, with a little surprise on top.

When it came, her face was priceless. She tilted her head like a confused dog, and observed the whole thing. "Erm... did we order this, Levi?" She turns to me as I nodded. Once her eyes caught onto that diamond ring on cake... she gasps and picked it up. "L-Levi..."

I chuckled, taking her hand and kissing them gently. Yes it was embarrassing, but... I wanted to do something for her. Something... special... "Hanji Zoe... I know I wasn't looking for love at all..." That's when I felt all the stares of every staff and guest all on me. "But we found love. And by what? My son? It's funny how that all started out... but now, we're starting a family... and I feel like it is time to marry before you give birth." I sighed, ready to give the punch line... "And with that... I want you to be my wife, and I'll love you for all of eternity... will you marry me?"

There was no doubt in what Hanji would say... because I already know her. I just needed to hear her confirm it from her sweet lips. "I will..."

With the audience's claps and cheering behind me, I flushed it all away as I put the ring on her finger and kissing her. It was truly a merry day between us... and I'm glad we at least got one thing off our plate. Right now, we need to deal with the set date for the wedding and the arrival of our child.

I then leaned into her ears and smiled brightly. "I love you so much..."

She laughs softly, kissing my neck.  "Love you too... now we have to deliver the news and cake to Eren-"

"You're forgetting something." I chuckled, pointing at small brownie cake. "We'll split it... we both deserve it..."
