Chapter 14

After the new couple left I paid for my tea and decided to wander around the town. I smiled as small children ran and played. There were many new faces to me. A couple of kids ran into me and apologized quickly before running to their other friends and whispering about how cool I was. I let out a small laugh which earned me awed stares from the adults who knew who I was. As I wandered around I found a new little park just outside of the town. I sat down at a bench and watched the children running around with a small smile on my face. After about half an hour I felt big arms wrap around me from behind. I looked up to see Reiner smiling down at me.

"What are you doing all the way out here?" He asked me.

"Watching the kids…" I told him.

His eyes sparkled and he grinned.

"How about we have some kids after all of this is done?" He whispered in my ear.

"Whoa there man, I was appreciating the children not wishing I had any. Plus I may not make it back" I said still staring into his golden eyes.

He frowned at me and squeezed me tighter.

"You will make it back. I won't allow you to die"

"Okay" I snuggled into his chest.

"By the way why don't you want kids?" He asked slightly upset.

"I just don't want them until I'm married. But who knows when that's going to happen" I said laughing.

"Kat?"

"Yeah Reiner?"

"Let's get married before we leave"

I pulled out of his arms and stared at him in shock. My mouth was slightly agape.

"What?!" I yelled.

"Let's get married before the fight. I already know I want to spend the rest of my life with you so why not?"

"Umm umm uh. Okay?" I answered in confusion.

His eyes lit up and he picked me up and spun me around. I laughed at his childish joy. The kids and parents at the park all watched us. The little boys were gagging and the girls were going 'aww' while the parents all smiled happily at us. Many in the town thought I would be alone for the rest of my life due to my history and cold demeanor. Reiner began to drag me away.

"Where are we going?" I asked him.

"We are going to rub it in Bertie's face" He said while laughing.

"Oh god, I'm going to marry a child" I mumbled.

Reiner stopped and stared at me with sadness filled eyes. I just grinned at him and placed a quick peck onto his pouting lips. Then I took the lead and began to drag him. We found Annie and Bertholt still walking around the town staring at small shops window displays. Reiner pulled me to them and began yelling at them.

"Hey Bert guess what!" Reiner yelled.

"Huh? Reiner, Kat?" Bertholt questioned.

"Kat and I are going to get married!"

I flushed red and stared at the ground. 'Wow those are some beautiful rocks right there' I thought. Annie squealed and hugged me taking me by surprise.

"Did you seriously just squeal?" I stared at her in shock.

"No" She answered putting her stoic face back on.

I bust out into laughter making her angry.

"I cannot believe I just heard the almighty cold Annie squeal like an actual girl" I said between bouts of laughter.

"Shut up Kat…Seriously shut it now before I make you" She said angrily.

"You can try" I told her wiping the tears from my eyes.

She just smiled and gave me a hug. I looked to see Bertholt and Reiner standing there in utter shock. I pointed at them and laughed. 'Dang I'm in a giggly mood today' I thought again.

"I am so happy for you Kat, you out of everyone deserve to be happy" She whispered to me.

"I don't believe that Annie but thank you" I said pulling away from her.

"Hey guys when you finally decide to quit gawking I'll be at my house" I told them.

I then waved goodbye to Annie and went home. My sister was still there with Dylan making jokes or something because they were both laughing. I walked in the door and grinned at them.

"Katie guess what?" Allison said running to me.

"What?" I answered.

"Dylan is buying a house for he and I. We should be able to move in there in a couple days"

"Oh…That's great congratulations Al" I said disappointed.

She gave me a sympathetic look and hugged me. I smiled at her and hugged her back.

"You have been the best dad, mom, and big sister anyone could have ever asked for" She whispered to me.

I squeezed my little sister and let a small tear slip out of my defenses.

"Sorry I couldn't have been here to see you grow up so fast" I told her.

She shook her head at me and smiled.

"There is no reason to be sorry Kate I don't hate you for it. You were doing what you were ordered to do"

I nodded and got ready to tell her my news when Reiner opened the door and walked up to me putting an arm around my waist.

"Al Reiner and I are going to get married before we go off to fight the humans" I said quickly but stoutly.

"Oh my god! Congratulations!" She screamed.

"Thanks" Reiner and I said at the same time.

"I knew you had balls Reiner glad you finally decided to use them!" Allison laughed.

My hand flew up to my mouth to try to hide the laughter bubbling up. Reiner glared at her and then at me.

"Why do you both always make fun of me?" He whined.

"Because it's so easy" I said kissing him again.

I tried to pull away but Reiner kept me there in place deepening the kiss. Allison fake gagged and grabbed Dylan to take him outside somewhere.

"Let's leave them alone for awhile. How about we go and look at our new house" She said smiling before closing the front door.

I finally was able to pull away and grinned at him.

"You did that on purpose" I said.

"Well I thought they wouldn't want to hear what is about to happen" He smiled at me before picking me up and throwing me over his shoulder.

I had a very nice view of his ass so I swatted it. He froze and a second later my own butt was stinging. I laughed way too hard as he threw me down onto my queen sized bed. I watched as he slowly stripped in front of me. I have to admit that it was hot but I'm such an awkward person I couldn't help but laugh at it. He looked hurt so I got up and pushed him onto the bed. It was now my turn and I stripped as sensually as I could. Reiner's nose began to bleed and I laughed at him. I crawled up him and placed kisses from his abs up until I got to his mouth. He pulled me into him and he turned the kiss into a heated one. His eyes were full of lust and I moaned just at the sight of him. He then took control and placed his hand in between my thighs rubbing at my entrance. He played with me like that for a little while longer before putting two fingers in. I half yelped and half moaned into a pillow. I covered up my face in embarrassment but he growled and ripped the pillow from me. My face was beet red as I stared up at him. I was getting close and he could tell so he pulled away from me and I gave him a look of disappointment and anger. He smiled at me with an evil grin so I raised an eyebrow and threw him onto his back. I then grabbed ahold of his member and began stroking it. He moaned and I went down. I began placing soft kisses along the length of him, his eyes going wide. Once back at the tip I took him into my mouth and he threw his head back into the bed forcefully. I swirled my tongue around him and he groaned in pleasure. Then when he intertwined his fingers in my hair I took him all the way into my mouth and began to hum. He squeezed his eyes shut getting ready to release. I stopped and pulled off of him and stared at him grinning evilly. His eyes narrowed and he picked me up and threw me onto my back. He was in me in a matter of seconds. I wrapped my legs around his waist as he began thrusting into me. I pulled him down to me and kissed him passionately. He moaned into my mouth as we both were getting close already. Reiner picked up his pace and started to slam into me. I yelled out his name as he hit that spot just right and I came. My tightening walls were too much for him and he released deep inside of me. He flopped onto his back right next to me breathing heavily. Reiner turned his head to look at me. He wrapped and arm around me and pulled me to him nuzzling into my neck.

"You are mine" He said.

"Bitch I am my own. No one but me has ownership over me" I said laughing.

He shook his head "I claim you as mine. No other man may see you or touch you like this."

"Reiner come on really? You think I'd let someone else do this with me? Nope you're just the lucky bastard who took my heart" I told him petting his hair.

"You let Levi touch you" He growled.

"I kicked Levi's ass for it too. He ended up kicking mine back but still"

"I want to be the one to kill him" He said.

"Umm sorry but that has already been called by commander" I said smiling.

"Wait what? You told the commander about what happened?"

I nodded "Yeah commander is like a father to me, besides the fact that we both liked each other for awhile."

Reiner groaned in annoyance and tried to turn around but I held him still. I kissed him over and over again.

"When you get all jealous like this it makes me happy" I said laughing.

"Oh can it" He mumbled.

"I love you, you big brute."

"I love you too you scary scary woman" He said as I snuggled into his chest.

We both fell asleep like that and only woke up the next morning. I got up and stretched. I decided I needed a shower and woke Reiner up.

"Come take a shower with me" I whispered into his ear.

"Let me sleep" He said rolling over.

"Well fine then guess I'll just have to be all alone naked in the shower while hot steamy water runs down my skin and soaks my long black hair" I said slowly walking out of the bedroom with a towel.

Reiner shot straight up and threw the covers off of himself and chased me down the hallway into the bathroom. I turned on the shower and we both got in. Our shower was a long one and we managed to get more dirty before we got clean. The rest of the day was completely uneventful, we just stayed at home all day and lounged around. The rest of the week was spent getting ready for my wedding and also for the big attack. Annie, my sister, and I all went to pick out a wedding dress. I decided on a strapless gown that had a corset like top and a flowing skirt. The corset was decorated with beautiful beaded designs and was an A-line. My sister and best friend agreed together that I looked the most beautiful I ever had in the dress. I gave them a look and they laughed. The only thing that worried them was that I had a tattoo on my back in between my shoulder blades. It was a tattoo to show that I was in the military. It was a titan skull with a snake running from the eye into the mouth. The girls thought that I was crazy for ever having gotten it but I paid no attention to them. I liked it, I thought it looked badass. They said that it makes me seem even less girly then I already was. I looked at them and told them both that I was never girly to begin with and they both just nodded in agreement. Once the dress was fitted and out of the way I had to go to a war council meeting to discuss the plan.

The next Wednesday I was awoken early by Annie and Allison. Reiner had went and stayed the night in his house because his friends had taken him out the night before. The two girls pulled me from my bed and threw me on a chair. I just sat there and let them do their thing. They put my hair up in an intricate bun that left my bangs out and to the side of my face. My makeup was more of a very light natural and after four hours of fawning over me they threw my dress at me. I slipped the beautiful gown on and stared at myself in a mirror. The girls were right I did indeed look more beautiful than I ever had. They both came out in their own dresses and I stared at them.

"You both look gorgeous" I said.

"No Kat you are going to be the prettiest bride this town has ever seen. I don't think I have ever seen a more beautiful person" Annie said.

Allison nodded in agreement. I smiled at them and took in a big breath.

"Guy's I'm getting married today!"I yelled.

They both whooped and cheered. Then we heard knocking on the door. Annie went and answered and let in Bertholt and commander Zeke. When they both came in they stared at me in amazement. Bertholt's face got very red and he came to hug me.

"You look so amazing that I actually can't come up with the words to describe you" He said hugging me close.

I laughed at him and turned around to grab my bouquet. The two men gasped when they saw my tattoo which was clearly visible.

"I totally forgot you had a tattoo Kat!" Bertholt exclaimed.

"Yeah I still like it though. I need to go get it touched up though" I commented.

"It kinda makes you seem like a badass which you are but well yeah" Bertholt said.

I laughed and nodded. Commander Zeke stuck out his arm and I took it. He was going to be the one to walk me down the aisle since my father wasn't here. The others headed out before us and got into their positions. I let out a big sigh and Zeke looked at me.

"What's up?" He asked.

"I can't believe I'm actually getting married you know? I thought I'd be single forever" I laughed out.

"Nah you are too amazing of a woman to stay single forever"

I smiled at him and squeezed his arm a little bit. I heard music start and I got incredibly nervous. We began walking and before we came into the sights of everyone Zeke bent down and whispered something to me.

"Reiner is an amazingly lucky guy"

My face got really red and looked around frantically. I let go of Zeke's hand and turned around to run but he grabbed me.

"You realize you cannot run from this. He would find you wherever you went no matter what."

I sighed again and straightened up and began walking again. The wedding was a huge thing in the town and literally everyone was there. My breath caught in my throat when I saw everyone. All of their eyes got big as I walked down the aisle.

"Oh my god she is gorgeous" Some would whisper and others would nod.

I caught Reiner's eyes and saw that he was crying. My heart almost beat out of my chest. Once we got to the alter Zeke hugged me and handed me off to Reiner. I felt like I was going to throw up but it was better now that I was touching him. The elder began the ceremony and everyone got quiet. When it came time for our vows I quietly said my 'I do' which made everyone 'aww.' I made a face and Reiner chuckled. He put the ring on my finger and I stared at it, this was my first time seeing it and it was beautiful. I stared up at him as I slid his ring onto his finger. Finally we were able to kiss and Reiner shoved his face against mine harshly. I heard laughter bubble up in the crowd and I began to laugh as well. He pulled back and smiled at me. We were surrounded by people then congratulating us and I slowly but surely snuck away from the crowd letting out a huge breath of relief. I looked back to see Reiner looking for me in the crowd of people. I smiled and decided to home and change. When I walked in I found a pretty midnight blue dress sitting on a chair. There was no note or anything just the dress. I picked it up and went to put it on. It came up to about mid thigh so it was pretty short. I looked in the mirror and smiled, but something wasn't quite right so I let down my hair and it cascaded down my back. I ruffled it up a little and smiled again now it was just right. I walked back outside and went to where the after party was being held. It was in the town square so I slowly made my way over there. Once there everyone stared in awe at me again which made me blush. I found Annie and Bertholt first and walked up to them. They stopped talking and stared at me.

"Where did you get that dress? It is amazing!" Annie said.

I shrugged and asked them where Reiner was. Bertholt smiled and pointed to a corner and to a very dejected looking Reiner.

"He thought you ran since he couldn't find you" Bertholt stated.

I laughed then thanked them and walked over there. Once in front of him I stuck out my hand.

"Care to have the first dance with me ?" I asked grinning.

Reiner's head snapped up and he bolted upright.

"Of course I would " He said chuckling.

We walked out to the center of the square and began dancing. Everyone stopped and watched us together. Soon the center was full of couples slow dancing with each other. After the song we went to cut the cake but instead of cutting it I grabbed a handful and shoved it into Reiner's face. He was taken aback and tried to get me with cake too but I ran away before he could. People laughed as they watched us. Once everything started settling down we headed back to my house. Allison and Dylan had already moved into their new house so we had the house all to ourselves. Reiner picked me up bridal style and carried me all the way there. He kicked open my bedroom door and threw me onto the bed. I giggled as he climbed on top of me kissing me hard. That night we didn't go to sleep until very early in the morning of the next day.

The rest of the week consisted of getting ready to attack the humans. We couldn't wait too long otherwise they would be able to regroup. So on the night of the next Friday we all gathered and got ready to march. We had a small army of titan shifters. Our army would equal the humans in power and strength but not in numbers. I had been getting sick in the mornings but hid it from Reiner. I hadn't told anyone about getting sick because I was worried that I was pregnant. We all left the town and marched on the humans. Once to wall Maria we all snuck in through the hole and were able to make it to the Trost distict before sunlight. I shifted and kicked the boulder out of the way. Sending it flying into wall Sina. Everyone charged and I changed back. I couldn't watch as my friends slaughtered my former friends. I hung back and sat atop of the outlying wall that protected Trost. I saw Eren transform and take out a few of my soldiers before being ganged up on. All of my former friends were being thrown into houses, being smashed, or just being eaten by the normal titans that had started coming through the hole. I got sick to my stomach watching it all. I searched the area and found Reiner fight Levi. My eyes got wide and I began running towards them. Levi was able to get Reiner out of his titan and before I could make it to them Levi cut out Reiners nape. My anger was instant and I charged the small corporal. Reiner was already healing but that didn't matter to me, Levi had tried to kill my husband. I tackled the short man to the ground. He kicked me off of him but I got back up and kicked him back. I grabbed his head and began to slam it into the concrete. Levi rolled over to be on top but in doing so rolled us off of the wall. As we fell I still wailed on him bloodying his face up. His eyes got wide as we approached the ground quickly. Levi shot out a cable and flew towards a house with me still clutching to him. We didn't make it to the house. A normal titan came and snatched us up in its hands. I reached up and bit into my hand. As I shifted I grabbed ahold of Levi and threw him as hard as I could. Much to my dismay he landed on a couple of soldiers and not a wall. The normal titan began eating my leg but I stomped on it squishing it like a bug. Reveling in the satisfying crunch. As my anger faded though I saw Mikasa trying to save Eren but she was grabbed by a shifter. I stared in horror as he threw her into a rooftop. I then saw Jean being kicked and he flew and hit a wall. The humans were being decimated and I was the cause of it. All of my friends were being killed and all I could do is sit and stare. Something snapped in me and I ran to grab Mikasa and Jean. They were broken but not dead and I sighed. I then went and took Eren from his titan before the others could get to him. He stared up at me in shock. I found all of the humans that were fighting, even Levi and I put them on the other side of wall Sina. I then stood in front of the hole that Bertholt had created in wall Sina and hardened my body creating a permanent seal. The humans and shifters watched in horror. I couldn't get myself out of the titan so I stayed and before my face hardened I smiled up at the sky. Leaving them all in shock. Reiner had recovered and watched as I sacrificed myself to save humanity. He ran as fast as he could to my titan. He began beating on it trying to get me out. Then he shifted and tried that too but nothing worked. Bertholt was still in his titan form and he grabbed Reiner as the shifters sounded a retreat to mourn my loss. They knew I would not come out of the crystal until there was peace. Both sides understood that and they went their separate ways to talk about what they could do to create peace. Reiner struggled in Bertholts grasp trying to get back to me. Bertholt just kept walking though. All of my friends from both sides stopped and stared at my smiling face. The humans were surprised that I had saved them. The first thing Eren, Jean, Mikasa, and Armin did was run up the wall to me. They cried and tried to get me to come out but nothing they said worked.

"Why?! Why would you save us if you hate humanity so much?" Eren yelled slamming his fist on the crystal.

They finally left and that night Levi came up to me and talked to me.

"I know you can hear me brat, and I'm sorry. I understand now why you hated me so much. I killed your parents causing you to have to become an adult too soon. I lost my mother at a young age as well and I never knew my father. I understand why you are the way you are because I'm the same. Thank you Ward for saving us all. You didn't have to but you did and there is nothing I could say to tell you how much that means to me" He said and then he put his hand on my crystallized form and left.

People who I knew came up to my titan and touched it thanking me for saving them all. It was like that for three months until the shifters sent in an elder to talk peace with the humans. Krista had become the queen already and agreed to speak with the elder but it had to be up where I was. They met and came up with terms and then they shook hands. There was now peace between shifters and humans. A small part of my crystallized form started to melt and I fell out. I was caught by Eren who was also there to protect Krista. He stared at me shocked because I now had a small baby bump. Krista watched my passed out form and shrieked when she saw that I was pregnant. The elder who had been sent got very excited and thanked Krista but asked to leave to go tell Reiner that I was out of my titan and that I was pregnant. Krista gave him her permission and the elder shifted and began to run back. Eren took me to an infirmary to have me checked out. I woke up in a hospital bed and I sat up. Eren was right next to me and jerked when I sat up.

"Kat your awake!"

"Yeah where am I? The last thing I remember was Krista and the elder talking"

"You are in the infirmary. Kat you are almost five months pregnant" He said staring at my stomach.

I looked down and sighed.

"I figured I was, If I'm that far along that means that I got pregnant the first or second time"

Erens face went red and I laughed at him. There was a knock at the door and Mikasa and the others came in. They all stared wide eyed at my stomach. Mikasa got mad at me then.

"You were pregnant and you still sacrificed yourself for us?!" She yelled.

I winced and smiled at her. The others started to get teary eyed and hugged me. I laughed at all of them. After a couple of hours they left and I was alone. I stared at my belly and patted it.

"Its okay, we are going to be okay little one" I told them.

I was alone for another hour until my door was pretty much thrown off its hinges by a certain very angry and worried blonde man. He ran up to me and stopped when he saw my stomach. He looked between me and the stomach before he broke down crying. I held him to my chest and petted his hair. He wrapped his big arms around me and squeezed me.
