Breaking down walls (Ereri / Riren) fanfic 💖

Chapter "35"

It was now a month until Levi and Eren's wedding. Eren was currently sixteen weeks pregnant and was getting bigger, but only slightly. He felt rather miserable as Levi would sometimes find him in their room, complaining into a pillow. It made him smile slightly, but he knew Eren would experience hormones very soon.

Preparations had already begun, even though both of them had said that it would be a small wedding. Eren had made sure to know the list of people who were coming. He looked down it.

Wedding Invitees:

- People of Shiganshina

- Council members

- Hanji and Petra

- Farlan and Isabel

- Annie (?)

Eren sighed at the last name. Levi had no way of contacting her, but the news of the wedding had spread across the whole three Kingdoms. The guards were there to make sure no one got in to Shiganshina during that day. They both hoped that she would turn up; Annie did say that she would return to see Eren and their child alive.

Petra had been very stern about Eren writing his own vows. He did so and continuously changed it, just as she said he would.

During the week, Eren had arranged for Carla to come to the Palace. He could remember sitting by the window of the library, staring down at the courtyard. As soon as he saw the troops trotting passed the gates, guarding his mother, he ran downstairs as fast as he could. He learnt new things about being pregnant. One was that he got tired more easily.

Eren ran passed Petra and down the steps, to the front door. The servants had already opened the door and his mother walking in, carrying in a small suitcase.

Eren literally threw himself at his mother. She smiled and laughed as she hugged him.

"Hey, cub, how are you?" she asked. Eren nodded into her shoulder.

"I'm okay..." he muttered. Carla chucked and stepped away from Eren, getting a better look at him.

"You've certainly grown. God, I can't believe you're to be married to a King in a month. The Elder has agreed to be the one to give you away. He was sort of waiting to be asked," she said. Eren smiled and looked at his stomach.

"I'm only half way through and I'm still trying to prepare mentally," Eren said. Carla smiled and nodded, placing her hand on her son's cheek.

"You'll be fine, cub. You will always be my cub, even when you have your own." Eren placed his hand over his mother's and nodded.

Levi was walking down the stairs at that point and came over to the mother and son. Carla smiled at her future son-in-law.

"Levi. I presume you have been well," Carla said, hugging him lightly, knowing full well that Levi didn't really hug much, apart from Eren. Levi nodded.

"Well, you know, I have a Kingdom to run and only a few weeks ago we were threatened by mysterious guy from the Underworld who thought he was all Hocus Pocus," he replied. Carla looked to Eren, raising an eyebrow.

"Please tell me you didn't go," she said, looking rather scary. Eren smiled innocently.

"You know me so well." Carla grabbed Eren ear hard. "Ow! Ow! Okay, I'm sorry!" he cried. Carla let go and rubbed it.

"Honestly. You need to be careful, cub. I had my fair share of adventures when I was pregnant with you, even with Grisha around. It resulted in a difficult birth. Have fun," she said. Eren sighed and slumped down.

"I'm sorry."

His mother smiled and sighed.

"As long as your cub is safe, then everything is fine." Levi nodded.
