{Yandere EreMika} Only Mine...

Chapter 31: Moving Onwards?

Eren's POV

10 years later...

"Daddy..."

The young child that had black hair and silver-like eyes at my side was staring up at me. Her blank expression reminded me too much of Mikasa. At least there was a development on a cure on her genetics. Perhaps her mother and herself would be cured of it quickly before it passes on once more. 

"Are we seeing Mommy today?"

Gripping her hand tightly, I nodded my head. "Of course. But she may not act like before, Minako."

"Why's that?"

"She's... she's getting medicine."

"For what?"

I stopped in my tracks, kneeling down to face my daughter. She completely took over Mikasa's look. Her eyes and face... it was nearly identical to Mikasa's. It was truly interesting. My hand lifted her chin up so I could see directly in them.

"Minako, listen to me... you all possess a dangerous disease inside of you. But it doesn't mean that you're bad entirely. It's medicine to help defeat that disease inside of you. It won't hurt you... I promise, it wouldn't dare hurt you."

"Y-You promise?"

"I promise with all of my heart, Minako." I smiled softly, picking her up from the ground and holding her closely. "Don't worry, alright? Now, let's go off and find your mother. We should be able to get in."

"Can we see Grandpa Levi too? And Grandma Hanji?"

I chuckled a bit- even the thought of them was almost unknown. It's been too long. Minako was 6 years old already- I haven't seen them over a year. Last I heard... Levi Ackerman got out because he couldn't be convicted anymore. Apparently, the murder he confessed was in the name of self-defense. The other ones... he couldn't be convicted of it. He wouldn't confess it. But we all knew.

"Of course, we can. After we say hi to Mommy first."

"Okay..."

We walked into the facility where Mikasa was being held. Checked in and we found Mikasa. Awaiting for the ones she was expecting. Minako shouted, "Mommy!" and all heads turned. Especially Mikasa.

The face I used to fall in love with was there. Stunning and pure. She smiled softly, whispering Minako's name and holding her daughter close. Mikasa then looked up to me. Eyes glistering with happiness. Nothing more, nothing less.

"Eren..."

I walked to her, hugging her tightly. "Mikasa... you're alright here?"

"They gave me the medicine... I should be feeling normal- according to them. Not sure what normal is for them. Eren, what do you think they meant?"

My shoulders shrugged as Minako continued to tug on my pants. More or less wanting attention from me. "Maybe you'll feel some sort of regretful feeling about those kids... remember, Mikasa? Those kids?"

"I-I remember."

"We just need to wait and see." I smiled and gave her a kiss. "For now, let's just say hi. It's been a few months, Mikasa. Minako has been wanting to see you. She did keep saying that... apparently you're expecting another kid and you haven't told me yet."

"It's not like I'm able to keep the baby here, Eren..."

"I should know. After all, I'm the one taking care of them at home. Did they say those injections are safe for the baby then?"

She nods her head. "It should. Actually, they said it should benefit the baby rather than hurt it. If the injections are repairing my DNA, it should, therefore, heal the baby's DNA as it grows within me, Eren. If at this rate... I am to be cured from this... Minako will get those injections as well. Then... I can stay with you."

"You know our relationship is an open relationship, Mikasa. I can't keep staying here with you if you can't control yourself. With or without the cure to your... whatever you have... I'm still seeing someone else. I can't be in two relationships like that. She knows exactly who you are and-"

"Be happy then, Eren..."

She smiled in a sorrowful way as her hands wrapped around Minako.

"Be happy," she repeats, "and be with whoever you want to be. I'm just honored to know that we have two little ones together. You're safe. It's true then... I cannot be like Uncle Levi or Aunt Hanji. We can't be like them. We can only mimic. I understand, Eren... I'm not the true one for you."

A kiss on her forehead and the soft gesture on her hand. "I'll still visit you, Mikasa. Once you're out... Minako can visit you-"

"Take the baby too, Eren." Taken aback from her cruel words, she smiled towards me. "I can't be safe with a baby... I'm a monster to them anyways."

"Mikasa-"

"That's enough... you deserve everything that I've taken away from you. And for that, I'm sorry. Sorry for everything, Eren... I just... I only wanted you to be only mine and nothing else. I'm sorry."

Leaning closer to her, I gave her another kiss. My smile was only genuine this time. Perhaps there is a true human within her. That I know for sure. "It looks like the injections are working. That is what normal is, Mikasa... that's what normal is."
