All Levi could do was sit there in the hospital chair, staring at the floor in front of him, waiting for any news on Petra.

Please, Petra, he thought, you have to be alive. Please be alive.

A doctor soon came walking into the waiting room, clipboard in hand. "Levi Ackerman?"

Levi stood up and stepped towards the doctor. "That would be me."

The doctor looked at him for a minute before turning and slightly waving his hand. "Come with me."

Levi followed whereever the doctor was taking him, full of questions. "How is she? Is she okay? Is she alive? What happened?"

"Sir, please calm down. We would like to allow you to see her but if you cannot keep your anger under control then we just cannot allow it."

Levi clenched his fists and his teeth, trying to prevent himself from punching the doctor. He unclenched his fists slowly and gave a small nod. The doctor nodded back and started to walk down a long hallway, Levi following close behind.

"I must have to warn you though." The doctor explained, turning a corner and walking down another hallway.

"What? Is there something wrong with her? She is alive right?"

"Oh, yes. She's alive and doing much better, however she's just sleeping right now and I don't know how she will be when she awakens. I just caution you to try and not wake her. She needs to rest."

Levi gave a small nod and followed the doctor down the rest of the hallway before stopping at a door. 381D.

The doctor took out a key and unlocked the room door. Levi stepped inside and looked around the room. The lights were turned down almost all the way, leaving the room dimly lit. One of the windows was slit open, letting a cool breeze blow through the room. Petra laid there on the bed, sleeping peacefully. Levi strolled over to the closest chair to her bed and sat down, bringing it a little more closer to her bed. He continued to stare at her as the beeping of her heart monitor echoed throughout the room. He lowered his head down to look at the floor as another light breeze blew through the room, causing Petra to shiver slightly.

"Petra?"

She gave no response but shivered again.

Levi sighed and got up, walking to the other side of the bed and crawling underneath the hospital sheets, wrapping his arms around Petra. Petra stirred and turned over, cuddling closer to Levi, attracted to the warmth that was radiating off of his body.

Levi held her tightly against him, resting his chin on top of her head and closing his eyes.

Petra slowly came to and opened her eyes, resting on the hospital bed and feeling the same pair of strong arms around her. She looked up at Levi's sleeping face and slightly smacked him across the cheek. Levi groaned and only held her tighter, ignoring the slap. Petra poked his cheek firmly, causing Levi to stir slightly but not open his eyes. 

"Levi," Petra whispered, poking his cheek again.

Levi groaned and stirred.

"Levi,"  Petra poked his cheek a few more times, "I need to go to the bathroom."

"Then go." He muttered, keeping his eyes shut and his arms around her.

"But you're laying on top of me."

 Levi groaned loudly and rolled back over, allowing Petra to get up and off of the hospital bed and head towards the bathroom. She shut and locked the door behind her while Levi waited patiently on the bed, sitting up and stretching.

Levi got up and walked to the bathroom door and slightly knocked on the door. "Petra? Are you almost done?" There was no response from the other side. "Petra?" He asked again. A sudden BANG! echoed throughout the bathroom and into the hospital room.

"Petra?!" Levi gave a quick, hard tug on the doorknob and broke it off including the lock. He opened the door to see Petra laying on the ground.

"Petra...?" Levi stepped more into the bathroom and crouched down to her side. He looked at her for a minute before shifting her onto her back. Her eyes were closed and she wasn't moving. Levi placed two fingers on her wrist and gently pressed down. He felt a small bump about every 5-10 seconds which was her pulse. He let out a sigh of relief and picked her up, cradling her in his arms. He brought her back to the bed and put her under the covers. Suddenly, the door to Petra's hospital room opened and in stepped a man in a long white coat.

He shut the door behind him and looked at Levi. "Oh, hello. I'm Dr. Kar. And you are?" He held out his hand for Levi to take but Levi just crossed his arms.

"Levi. Levi Ackerman."

"Hello then, Mr. Ackerman."

"Yeah, yeah. Anyways, do you know what's wrong with her?" Levi gestured to the bed and the sleeping Petra.
