Chapter 1

"Levi come on!"

"Hange, you know that I hate kids! You can't make go to a baby shower!" Levi exclaimed as he thrust around to get out of Hange's grasps.

"You can't say no when you are already here!" Hange dragged him inside the gate.

His boss, Erwin Smith invited him to celebrate with his mate Armin, a short pretty blonde Omega. And about the baby's gender, the blonde Omega was carrying a baby boy.

"Beside, there are no rowdy kids! It will be only Petra's baby and he's only a year old!" Hange dragged him to the door, she struggled to reach the doorbell from Levi's thrusting but she managed to ring it.

Erwin opened the door with a smile on his face. Levi quickly straighten up and returned Erwin's smile with a forced one.

"Welcome! Come in!" Erwin stepped back and let them in.

Hange hopped in while Levi tried not to cringe at the sight of dust on the corners of the house. They proceed to the living room where the guest and Erwin's Omega were. The rest of the guest including Hange, crowed around him while Levi is drinking his wine away from the crowd in the sofe with Petra next to him.

"Pumpkin, did you get anything for Armin?" Petra asked him.

"Here," Levi showed the white envelope as he take a sip of his wine

"That's no fun, I got him a foldable crib! It was so convenient and cute with animal designs!" Petra cheered as she adjusted her baby on her hands.

"Well, at least with this he can buy whatever he needed." Levi reasoned as he stared at the elephant on the room.

Armin was blooming, like his skin was glowing and the smile on his face never fades.

"Levi," Petra tapped his shoulder. "Can you please hold Luke for me?"

"What?!"

"Please~ I need to go to the bathroom like right now..." Petra gently let the baby sat on Levi's lap before she dashed towards Erwin for directions.

"Hey! I'm not- wait!" Levi called out, he awkwardly hold the baby on the waist to keep him still but Luke tried to turn around to face him.

"Umm..." Levi looked at the baby's curious eyes. Luke lifted his chubby hands to grab at Levi's shirt and nibbled on the fabric.

"I don't think clothes will be good for your stomach kid," Levi gently removed the cloth on his mouth. For some reason he doesn't feel disgusted about the saliva on his shirt.

Luke tried to stand up and touched Levi's face with both hands. The raven let him be, then the baby squealed as he pulled Levi's raven hair.

"Awww~ he likes you!" Hange sat next to him.

"He's not bad." Levi kept his expressionless mask on while the baby was busy pulling his hair.

"You're a natural! I guess taking care of babies is easy for all Omegas."

"Not all..." Levi passed Luke to Hange before standing up.

"Where are you going?" Hange asked while she make faces on Luke.

"I'm... I'm tried and I want to sleep. Please give this to Armin." Levi set the envelope next to Hange.

"Levi, you work too much you need some entertainment to keep you distracted." Hange voiced out. She knew that Levi is not found of parties, crowds, people, and dirt but her friend needed to go out some time. Plus, with work, stress piled up on him like a stack of Jengga, Levi looked pale as if life was sucked out of him.

"Why don't you try installing some games on your phone to relax your mind?" she kindly suggested.

"Thanks, but I want to sleep now. I'll just say my congratulations and I'm off."

"Okay, keep safe."

"Thanks," the raven said his farewells to Armin and Erwin as well as the rest of the guest. Before he stepped out of the house, he took one last look at the gathering, his eyes landed on Luke and that's the time when he closed the door behind him.

Reaching his apartment, Levi went on his usual routine before going to bed. Laying on his softes mattress, he tried to sort his running thoughts.

He lied that he felt tried.

The truth was he felt the natural urge to care for Luke and also his Omega instincts awaken when he held that baby.

He want to have his own.

For once he was sure of his decision, but he knew very well that he can't just shop for one on the department store. Maybe he can adopt one yet he still have doubts and he is not financially ready. Having a partner never came to his mind, he still believed that his mate is out there and he doesn't want to spend his first time on some random Alpha just to get pregnant so he can have his baby.

Aside from all the things that he should be worried about, Levi was sure that he wanted a baby.

"Want a baby." Levi announced casually.

Coffee sprayed from Hange mouth before she threw a coughing fit. "A baby, Levi?! Are you serious?!"

"Yes. I want my own though."

"Well, you need to have sex for that and money." Hange joked but seeing the seriousness on Levi eyes made her change the subject and be serious as well. "Okay, I don't know about babies so let's ask Petra."

They called Petra to join them on their table and she agreed instantly. "So, what's going on here?"

"Levi wanted a baby of his own." Hange sling her arm around Levi's shoulders but the raven Omega elbows her side.

"Oh, really?!" Petra covered her mouth to conceal a squeal.

"Who is the lucky guy?!"

"There is no lucky guy." Levi said with the same expressionless face.

"Just tell him what he needed to know first." Hange said instead.

"Okay, well, you need a ton of savings first. Because not only that you should buy all the babies everyday needs but also you need to prepare a nursery, plus their needs leveled up when they grow up. But more importantly they need your attention and time," Petra finished and looked at Levi.

"I'm... not ready," now that he heard it from Petra who had more experience, he can saw the reality. He doesn't have a ton of money and his apartment is surely not baby friendly. But he is sure that he wanted one.

"Oh, pumpkin. I know the feeling, I'm an Omega too. I also had the urge before I met Oulo, it is in our dynamic." Petra patted his hand, hoping that it will comfort the raven Omega. "Just wait and see, you'll have your own baby."

"Yeah, I just get carried away..." Levi slumped on his chair.

Hange eyed him with concern, then an idea came to her. She took her phone, tapping at the screen she showed Levi the app on the playstore. "Levi, you said that you are not ready to have a baby, why not try this app? It's a virtual baby game where you raise this baby to a full adult!"

Levi took the phone on his hands and read the app's description. It advertised that he can play side games to earn money to raise the baby and he can also interact with them.

"It's nice, maybe that can help you get ready before you have your real baby," the strawberry blonde Omega encouraged.

"Yeah, I think this will work.." Levi mumbled while he examined the screen shots of the game. Somehow he felt a little something on the default baby design on the game. "I'll try it."
