~Levi~

"Levi?" she calls. I sat there on the floor processing what she just said. My mind racing with things that didn't pertain to what I needed to be thinking about now. Suddenly, she took hold of my shoulders grabbing my attention.

"I-I'm sorry." she croaks.

Confused I look up her, she looked sad. Taking her face into my hands I pull her face down, resting her forehead on mine. "Stupid, why are you apologizing?" I ask.

She sniffled softly before wiping her eyes. "B-because... I-I assumed you didn't want kids... you always seemed to avoid the topic." she croaks.

My heart dropped hearing her words. "You don't know how happy I am." I mutter in her ear. Then, her arms wrapped around my neck as she slowly slipped off the bed into my lap, crying softly she held on tight while shaking.

Pulling her head back my hands resumed position on her face. "Is that why you didn't tell me when the nurse came?" I ask.

She sniffled again before letting out a sigh. "Kind of... I didn't want to get your hopes up if it was just really my period being late from stress and all... so I had her draw some of my blood and I just had it confirmed." she says.

"Okay well, we need to make sure you get everything you need okay?" I ask.

Nodding her head she smiled. "I hope this doesn't mean we'll have to postpone-

"(Y/N) if we have to then we will, but I'm sure we can get that done here soon, but I don't want you stressing too much okay? Let me do the work and all you have to worry about is remembering the oath and where to stand." I tell her.

Nodding her head she kept the smile as she leaned in hugging me again. I'm gonna be a dad.

~(Y/N)~

Later that evening Levi and I were packed up in the carriage. The honeymoon was officially over after spending three long weeks at the lake house. Everything seemed to work out once I told Levi about the baby, I was happy with how everything worked out.

As the carriage rode through the night I was more than excited to go home and announce the happy news.

~Time Skip~

When we had reached Ackman Castle, it had been lit up with torches. Kenny had waited outside for us to arrive. As the carriage came to a stop I quickly stepped out. Quickly walking up the steps I meet Kenny with a hug. "Congratulations." Kenny mutters.

Surprised I pull back and look at Levi. "You told him already?" I call.

I could hear Kenny laugh as he patted my head. "Give the boy a break, he was overly excited." Kenny chuckles.

Turning back I smile and walk inside with him. "Go rest, we will be very busy tomorrow finishing up everything for the coronation." Kenny informs.

Confused still I turn to Levi who was already standing at my side. "You got everything done already?" Levi asks.

Kenny nodded with a smirk plastered on his face. "Coronation takes place the day after tomorrow." he informs us.

So, soon!? "Why so soon?" I ask. Kenny stopped again and turned to us.

"I've already put it off for over a year... it's time Levi and you take my place." he says.

Levi then suddenly pushed past me and grabbed Kenny's arm. "A word, uncle." he says. Kenny nodded before looking back at me.
