Levi's POV

As a perfect scenery, we went the woods. Up on the mountains, there was an unpopular inn. More like they were well-hidden. No one truly saw the beauty of the forest... and it was perfect for our wedding. With only a few chosen people we began just by exchanging our vows. On this beautiful evening... everything seemed to fit perfectly. Even the twins were silent- though they just passed out of exhaustion.

I took a deep breath, taking Hanji's hand with grace. "Even when we're faced with the impossible decision, know that I will always stand by your side. Know that no matter what, I'll be by your side. Even if it seems the world seems against you... know I'll be there to help you stand up and be stronger than you were before. I vow that my life will be forever intertwined with yours. I can't live without a person like you. For with all the fishes in the sea, you were the only one I was able to fall for."

"And when you become overwhelmed with sadness or such stress in life... I vow that I'll be my usual self to always bring a smile to your face. For there is no reason to change who I am for you, I won't ever change myself for you. Everyone else can wear a mask throughout their happy lives, but still feel pain. With us... we shall not hide behind a mask. I want us to be ourselves... and not hiding our feelings. Levi... I'm willing to be in your life... only if you take me in with our daughters."

"Why would I ever reject you, Hanji?" I say smugly, kissing her lips as we slowly exchanged the rings. "I'm ready to have you as my wife. This just makes it official."

Once more we kissed as the little cheers from our friends celebrated. Of course, they had to be quiet because of the little ones near them... but it was such a beautiful night. A slimmer of the moon laid above us with its fellow starry friends. Our time outside wasn't long when there was a large gust of wind that burst through that forced us to go inside. The babies were already starting to cry from the cold.

Inside was nice and toasty warm. The twins nearly stopped their crying once they felt the warm air. Iris seemed to take a liking to Hanji, and Raven seemed to take a liking to me. I don't want to say that we're favoring a twin... but they prefer us like that way.

There wasn't a time when kisses weren't always available. To the time when we were going through dinner together and up to the time we had our cake. Everything that night was wondering. I couldn't stop seeing the wedding band on my finger... how I was forever tied with Hanji. My lover... my wife... the mother of my twins. 

"Something wrong?" Hanji asked as she curled up into me with her slice of cake. That must've been her 2nd slice. Honestly, seeing that made me worry that she was pregnant again. "Levi... you've been staring at your hands for quite awhile."

"Nothing's wrong." I say, kissing her forehead. "I should be worried for you and that cake."

She laughs softly, taking a bite. "There's nothing to worry about. The cake is just so good. Want some?" She held up a forkful of cake up to my face. She swirled it around, making it tempting for me to take. "C'mon..."

I sighed and smiled softly. "Alright..." I take the bite, swallowing it after a few chews. "Hopefully Isabel doesn't eat all the cake... it's such a good piece of cake."

Hanji smiles, taking icing onto her finger and booped it onto my nose. "Glad I have you here..."

"Like I vowed, I won't ever leave your side..."
