Chapter 55: Great News!

Hanji's POV

I found myself pregnant at least 4 months after I healed up. Of course, my heart skipped a few beats after finding out. But then... I slowly fell into a slightly sad state. We can not go back to Levi's house to raise our next baby... not as long as that guy is roaming freely. Levi swears that he's going to kill him... and I know that he's human... but I can't help but feel... guilty? Is it because I'm a werewolf and I know Levi is going to kill another human... is that why I feel guilty?

I walk out of the bathroom, tossing the pregnancy test into the trash can before falling onto the bed with a heavy sigh. Levi perks up from the TV, looking over at me. Raven was, at this time, with her grandparents.

"Negative?"

My head shook slowly as a smile grew on my face, "I'm pregnant..."

"That's good then." Levi slowly crawled over to me, kissing my cheek. "If it's what you wanted, why do you not have a smile on your face?"

"Because... I know you're going to kill a human..." I mutter softly, seeing his pupils grow small. "Levi... I know you don't kill anyone who isn't innocent, and you usually kill werewolves that kill humans. But this guy... he's a human..."

"I know, but even if he's put into jail...those officers were corrupt. They're going to find a way out of prison. He's going to hurt you, the baby, and Raven. I'm not letting him hurt anyone else. This is the only way to make sure you're safe. Don't worry, Hanji..." He kisses me gently on the cheek, "You're not the one doing the killing."

"It doesn't feel right."

"Convince yourself that he died by some other means... if that helps you."

I turn to him, "Levi, how would you convince yourself?"

"I would believe he was a werewolf... since that is easier to believe."

Then I'll believe the same way...

I had to tell my parents about the pregnancy since I was staying here at the hotel. Mom, of course, was ecstatic. Dad, however, gave a weird look to Levi.

"We have to tell some other members-."

I interrupted my mom, "Wait, can we not tell them? I know that having another baby is nice, but... the last time we announced my pregnancy... my aunts were staring at us weirdly. So please, let's not tell them."

"Then give me a list of people you want to let others know."

Levi raised an eyebrow as Raven quickly ran off to grab another plate of pancakes. That girl and pancakes... "Why does everyone need to know about it?"

"In our pack, it's nice to know if a queen is pregnant. Of course, in our modern times, our queens can do whatever they want, with no harmful substances. It's almost like our blessing, Levi," Mom flashed a shy smile, "And considering this is a second pup to enter our pack... it's a wonderful blessing. Usually, people only have one pup. Rarely two."

Dad chuckles a bit, "I remember how everyone was startled when Hanji said she wanted... how many was it, Marla?"

"20."

Levi slowly shift his gaze to me, and I could feel a wave of embarrassment. "20?"

"It... it was just a kid thing, Levi. I'm not going to ask for 20 kids."

"No, but you wanted to adopt animals and name them as if they were your kids."

Levi eased up a bit, "Just animals?"

"Animals and her pups." Mom chuckles, "Such weird names... I'm surprised she didn't name Raven after one of them."

"Mom!"

Everyone started to laugh, but Levi. Well, I guess it was just my parents. Levi gently puts his hand on my lap, almost like he was pulling me close. 

Raven then plops at the table with her new plate of pancakes. She starts pouring the syrup when Mom started to talk to her, "Well, how do you feel about you being a big sister."

"Can they eat pancakes?"

"Not yet," I say, kissing her forehead. "Your new sibling will be small. And she wouldn't be able to eat pancakes until she's bigger and older."

"But... we can play a lot? And they are a werewolf?"

I nod, "Yep, they'll be a werewolf- just like you."

I see the light shine brightly in her gray eyes... she's becoming more like Levi... except for her personality. It seems that part comes from me. "Yay! We can play every day! When can we see sister?!"

"We don't know if it is a girl or a boy, Raven. Not yet."

"I want to have a sister!"

"Not a brother?" Mom asks her as Raven shook her head. "Why not?"

"Klaus is my brother. I wanna have a sister! And I hope it is a sister!"

I guess it's normal for her to assume that Klaus is her brother, considering that Levi isn't his biological father. Now that I think of it... I haven't seen Klaus around. But according to Nanaba, he's been around Eren lately. That's... strange.
