Chapter "28"

Levi had written his letter to Pixis. He had heard a reply in a few days time saying that Pixis had agreed to have the meeting, on the terms that it was in Sina and that Darius was there as well. Levi had said that there hadn't been a King meeting like that in a few decades. Kenny didn't interact with the other Kingdoms much, so it never happened during his reign.

The meeting was to be held in a few days, and Levi planned to bring Eren. Not to show him off, but to help him understand the other Kingdoms and get them on his side. They needed to like him to listen.

Eren was ten weeks pregnant, but there hadn't been much change. He would still throw up, but he still hadn't show. Hanji said it was normal because it was his first child. The sun didn't help. It was so hot in Maria that even the guards had to wear thin clothing. Eren felt sorry for the guards who stood outside.

Sure, it was nice to stay in the warmth of the sun, but when it was god knows how many degrees, it was not so nice.

Levi didn't have a lot of meetings over the week, just a huge bunch of paper work to do with the meeting. He would sometimes tell Eren what he was doing and ask him to remember certain things.

Eren was pleased that Levi wasn't treating him as just a Queen, even though he wasn't Queen yet. He spoke to him and allowed him to contribute. That was the type of person Levi was. He would never allow someone who could be useful, being useless.

It was the middle of the week and Eren was in the library with Petra. He was fanning himself with a bit of paper he folded. Petra was due to go back home the next day, so he wanted to spend today with her. Eren was sort of grateful that he didn't have heats while being pregnant, but he was wondering what he would say on the matter after the cub was born.

Hanji said that the cub was due some time in February, so it was still a while yet. He knew it was a little early to discuss baby names, but Petra was determined to talk about it. Wasn't it something you discussed with the father?

"Oh Oh! I know! If it's a boy, you should call him Conrad. And if it's a girl, you should call her Heidi. Heidi means noble, you know," Petra said excitedly while fanning himself.

Eren rolled his eyes.

"No, it don't like it. Why do we have to talk about this, Petra? It's still way too early," Eren complained. Petra patted Eren on the head.

"It's never to early. People think of baby names when they aren't even pregnant. By the way, Eren, what do you want the gender to be?" she asked.

Eren looked down.

"A boy. If I produce an Alpha, that means he'll be the heir," he replied. Petra rolled her eyes and shook her head.

"You're going to have a girl," she commented. Eren looked at her confused.

"What?" he questioned. Petra tutted him.

"Eren, don't you know the rule? The mother is always wrong. I've got friends who have had children, and they always get the opposite of the child they want. It's fate. So that means Hanji has already lost. Which means that it's just down to me and Erwin," she said. Eren raised an eyebrow.

"You actually got Erwin to bet on a Beta? How the hell did you do it?" Eren asked. Petra folded her arms.

"It wasn't easy, but he soon gave up on our begging and surrendered," Petra said. Eren could just imagine Hanji and Petra cornering Erwin and forcing him to bet against his will. Poor Erwin...

Eren shook his head.

"There is no rule to it, Petra. It's a 50:50 chance. To be honest, the gender doesn't matter; all that matters is that they're healthy," he replied. Petra sighed.
