Chapter 7: A Night to Remember
Hanji's POV
Whatever it took to bring Levi's child into the world, I asked Erwin to sleep with me because I wanted another kid. As per usual... he was rough on me and I wouldn't move an inch in the morning. I, myself, struggled to get out of bed this morning... rubbing my stomach. Instead of it being Erwin's kid, it was Levi's.
"Mommy?" I gasped and quickly covered up as I heard his voice. "Mommy, are you awake yet?" Someone was pulling on the blankets and Eren was crawling onto the bed. "Mommy?"
I turned over, covering my whole body still. All I saw was a blurry figure- but I knew it was Eren. His sweet voice and his family looks. "I'm up, Eren... don't worry."
"Is Levi coming today?"
"Today?"
"The daycare center."
"Oh... uh..." I chuckled softly, trying to move around in bed without exposing my son to my body. "I think... we can force him to go with you."
"Force?" He tilts his head curiously and sitting on my legs. "What do you mean, Mommy?"
I chuckled softly, thinking of a mischievous plan that we both can pull off. When it comes to mischief- we are both masters of it. "Well... around lunch time, we can go to his office and make him leave his office. How about that? We get the water gun, fill it with water, and spray them him with it."
Eren, without a doubt, nodded his head with a smile growing on his face. "Okay!"
"But you need to go and get dressed. It'll be a great surprise."
"Yes, Mommy!" He then jumps off and scampers to his room- he's like a wild animal sometimes. Maybe that's why I always wanted so much kids... but for now, I just have Eren and my unborn child.

Levi's POV
After that day of finding out I'm a dad, I went to the store to buy a small frame. Now, I was just framing Eren's picture. It was heartwarming to see it was Eren's drawings of his family. Funny how he drew Hanji and me next to him while Erwin was on the other side of Hanji. He truly saw me more than an uncle, but I wasn't his father. As Hanji said, it was impossible.
I set aside the picture, smiling gently as I hid it in a drawer. Tonight would be the night... Hanji's 10th anniversary of being married to that idiot. That night... when I should've proposed to her. If I proposed to her days before... it wouldn't be possible... for her to be with another man. I wish I could go back in time...
I wanted to do it. I kept that ring- and I wanted to present it to her. I wanted to tell her the truth that I've hid for so long. Hasn't she thought of why I never proposed to her? She never brought it up to me, but I knew she must've wondered at least one time.

"Levi..." I turned away from my computer to see Eren running into my office. Behind his back, I could see that he was trying to conceal something- but he hid it well and I couldn't give a guess on what it was. He walked right up to me, adjusting himself as he looked at me. "Levi..."
"Something wrong? Where's your mom?"
He began to cry and whimper softly. "L-Levi... s-something bad happened..."
Pushing myself out from my chair, I knelt in front of him and pulled him close. "Eren, Eren what happened? Tell me... what's wrong?"
"I... I..." He smirks brightly and stares at me menacingly. "I got you..."
"What?"
Quickly, he pulled out the object from behind his back- spraying me with icy-cold water. I growled and waited for the stream of water to end before staring at him. He giggles and turns tail- running off. "You can't catch me!"
"Eren!"
I began to chase after him- and right before we hit the doors, I picked him up and tickled his stomach. He squealed so loudly as I tickled him- I had to smile at him. It was too.. too cute... "M-Mommy!"
"Don't you dare call your mother!" I growled. "I caught you!"
"Mommy!" He then points to a laughing Hanji, trying to hold in her laughter. But she failed and had this beautiful smile on her face. "Mommy, I splashed him! I splashed him!"
"Good boy, Eren!" Hanji chuckles, slowly walking towards me. Her eyes fluttered gently, blushing softly as she picked Eren from my arms. "Alright- oh! I forgot the soda in my office! Wanna get that for me, Eren?"
He nods and runs off to her office, just leaving Hanji and I alone. If I could, I would just make love with her now- but Eren would come too quickly before we could finish up. I sighed gently, hoping we can do it soon... I missed her body and her cute voice...
"I... I got it handled..."
"What?" I looked up at her with confusion filling my face. "The... the thing?"
She nods and kisses me gingerly. "Yeah... don't worry... I'll keep you updated..."
I groaned gently, leaning onto her and rubbing her stomach. When I closed my eyes, I saw the little child inside of her... just knowing it was mine and hers. "Thank you... Hanji..."
Hanji, in return, kisses me gently and groans softly into my ear- jeez, I hate it when she does that. It just makes me want to take her and sleep with her. I couldn't do it now... not now. But we kissed for a few minutes- stopping when we heard the pattering footsteps of a little boy.
"I got the soda, Mommy!"

After talking with those two for awhile, I wrapped up a small speech for tonight. When I went home, I rummaged through all of my things and found it. The black velvet box. Slowly, I opened it and it was like nothing ever happened. The diamond on the ring was still glimmering brightly, and it was whispering to me of marriage.
Tonight, I will present this ring... and confess what I should've done. Confess to her and hopefully, she would accept the fact that I planned to be with her forever. I'll do it in private and I hope that everything would be great for my one and only Hanji...
