"Everything seems okay, Natasha. Although…" He looked over one of the many sheets of paper. It made me nervous because it felt as if he was stalling, avoiding something and that was surely a bad thing. "I'd like to send you for a scan, just to double check a few things."

"What kind of scan?" I asked after a moment as I fiddled with the hem on my skirt, trying to control my anxiousness.

I'd had to go back to the doctor for a full check-up before I was allowed on any missions. I'd been out of action for close to five months and since I was fully recovered I was itching to get back on the front lines, fighting beside Levi and kicking Titan butt once again. I'd both loved and hated my time away from the action. I'd enjoyed having my beloved one looking after me, however I'd rather disliked having to stay behind anytime he was sent out of the castle. It made me feel lonely and helpless. The pain was also a down side to the whole thing.

"There are some imbalances in your urine which I'd like checked out, that is all." He said as he returned the papers to my thin file, being obvious as he tried to avoid eye contact with me. He knew who I was and the fact that I had friends high up in rank, if he ticked me off he was well aware the kind of damage I could physically and socially do to him. The guy was lucky that I wasn't that kind of person.

Urine? What's that got to do with a bashed up elbow?

"What are you getting checked out, Doc?" I did my best pissed of Levi glare at the man, that seemed to get his attention and made him sweat just enough for me to know he was going to break, so I kept the glare going and within a few moments he let out a sigh.

"Well..."

I gasped as my eyes opened to see the ceiling of a dimly lit room. I rubbed my eyes and looked over to the clock on my bedside locker, it read 6am. I had no reason to be awake for another hour, at least and I had no intention to be awake any earlier than I needed to be.

Levi was still fast asleep to my left, his face was so relaxed and calm he almost looked innocent, peaceful even. It was an expression I could stare at for hours, however as much as I wanted to I couldn't right then. My heart was racing too quickly and my mind was too full of things that I didn't want in my head. Even though staring at him might calm me down it wasn't the kind of calm I needed.

Why the hell am I thinking about that? What… Am I nervous about the results I'm due to get later?

I sighed and climbed out of bed, taking a moment before silently creeping over to the exit, giving the sleeping Levi one last look. I made sure I opened the door quietly and tiptoeing out, slowly shutting it behind me. I'd told everyone my check-up was fine but I had to wait a week or two for the paperwork to be approved. Everyone believed me of course and thought nothing of it. I didn't even tell Levi about the scan or possible outcome. There was no way I could bring myself to, besides there was no point if everything was clear, I'd of just worried them for nothing and I didn't want to put them through that. Well, I suppose it was more I didn't want to put myself through that.

I walked down the hall for a while before I decided what I was going to do. I started heading down to the dungeon where a certain boy slept.

I didn't bother being stealthy or quiet since I was going to wake him up anyway. As I stepping into the cold basement, I heard it. Like thunder roaring around and bouncing off of the bricks to attack my ears in an assault of disgusting sound. The teenager's snoring filled the whole dungeon, I sighed and held in a laugh. It was hard to believe that Eren could make so much noise while in his human form. I walked around to the only occupied cell, running my hand over the cool metal as I walked and opened the door, it wasn't locked, Levi had stopped doing that a couple of weeks after Eren arrived, the boy obviously too it as his commanding officer displaying some trust towards him. However I saw it more in a different light, if he lost it and did transform into a titan, what good would a couple of metal bars do?

I walked in and gave the boy's face a poke. He groaned but refused to wake up. I made a little hum as I thought about what I might do for a moment. Any other time or situation I would have been nicer about it but I didn't have the time and I was growing cold so I grabbed him by the ear and yanked him up so he into a sitting position, he was soon awake and complaining. He yelled out and hit my arm away, I withdrew my hand quickly before he actually hurt me and gave his head a soft pat.

"Sorry." I whispered.

His eyes were half shut, still barely conscious, he looked over to me, his emerald green eyes peering at me through a glazing of sleep. "What did I do this time?" he asked as he rubbed the back of his hand across his face. The boy was in his usual shirt which surprised me, I was surprised he bothered to sleep in it since his body was always so hot thanks to his titan powers and it just seemed like more work for him because he'd have to wash it more often.

"You're not in trouble." I reassured him, not bothering to whisper this time since now Eren was awake I wouldn't be disturbing anyone. Making my way to the bottom of his bed I picked up teenager's feet and sat down. He quickly pulled them out of the way and crossed his legs to take up less room.

"Then why are you down here?" he asked with a yawn, displaying his apparent tiredness some more, which just made me feel bad… but not bad enough to tell him to go back to sleep or anything like that.

"I needed to talk to someone." I said honestly. I didn't see much point in beating around the bush with him.

"Talk to Levi," he grumbled, I could tell he wanted some more rest and was willing to do anything to get back to his world of dreams.

"I can't. And I can't talk to anyone else since they don't officially know about me and him." I added before he could cut in again. "I just…" I sighed and fell down as if the secret had become too much and was forcing me down, which in a sense it was. I was now laying on the bed and my head resting on the kid's lap. "I might be pregnant." I admitted.

He looked down to me, his eyes wider than I'd ever seen them. He almost looked scared but the green colour helped dampen the fear and made the shock more apparent. "How far along?"

"Almost four months."

"You can't go out on any missions if your preg… pregnant!" he stated loudly. I sat back up and glared him full in the face. Like I needed him to tell me the obvious facts, besides that wasn't exactly my first thought when it came to being a mother or parenting or even having a baby in general.

"You think I don't know that?"

"But.."

I shook my head and cut him off. I didn't want this conversation to turn into a rant about me being a possibly freaked out mummy to be, my reasoning was a little more important than that. "That's why I'm here. If I am, you have to look after Levi! Since you have to stick close to him anyway because he's responsible for you, you're the logical choice. That and you can shift into a titan, you can probably protect him better than myself. Please."

Eren gave a small nod, almost frightened to make such a promise, I could understand why but… I just needed some comfort. I needed to know if I was going to be stuck at home with a kid that Levi would be safe and still come home to us. I didn't need another of my families to be torn apart.

"But it's not for sure that I am, so I might be worrying over nothing!" I smiled, trying to lighten the mood. After all, the boy was only fifteen.

"When do you find out?" He asked, obviously not allowing the atmosphere to become lighter, I didn't mind a challenge though.

"Later on today, the doctor said he'd try to ring around ten. Anyway, how about you and Mikasa?" I said with a little grin as I gave him a nudge.

The boy's cheeks went a little red as he gave me a nudge back. "Nothing, there's nothing between me and Mikasa."

"Sure," I gave a little giggle before getting back to my feet, my expression turning more serious. "Eren, I know you're young but thanks to your situation it can't be helped. I'm sorry for the way things turned out for you but… I'll always be very grateful if it does end up that you're the one that has to look out for Levi."

"Don't worry about it Natasha-san. Besides, I'm sure Heichou will be glad to have a kid with you." I was surprised at just how much I wanted to hear those words, how much they meant to me… I'd had my minor freak out about possibly becoming a mother but I hadn't giving much thought to how Levi might react to being told he was going to become a father.

"You think?" I asked and Eren gave a nod in response. "Thanks kid." I grinned to him, showing my usual self before heading out of the cell. "You get some more rest, I'll make Levi doesn't wake you at the crack of dawn and I'll get him to leave you as late as I can."

"Thanks Natasha-san." He said as he laid back down, pulling the sheet over his shoulder as he shut his tired eyes.

I smiled and headed out of the dungeon and back to the bed I'd earlier left with Levi still asleep, I doubted he'd have woken up so I hoped I'd be able to slip back into bed without him noticing.

But as I walked into the room I was met by a grumpy, panicked Levi, still with his bed head and nothing but boxers to cover himself with. I was a little surprised, I honestly didn't think he would've woken up and if he had I'd of said he wouldn't of given a damn that I wasn't beside him.

"Where the hell have you been?!" he snapped as he stomped over to me, grabbing my wrist, yanking me in so he could slam the door shut. I had to admit I was surprised and happy by his actions and worry but also a little hurt by his obvious display of anger.

"Levi-Kun, you're awake!" I smiled, trying to get rid of grumpy Levi and get him to brighten up.

"That's not an answer." His eyes were so much thinner than normal, narrowing at me with suspicion. "Are you cheating on me?"

I couldn't answer that question, at least not straight away, it's abruptness threw me completely. I was just so taken by surprise. I stumbled to get my brain working, to think of something to say. No, of course not! What the hell is wrong with you? Too suspicious…

"Where did you get that from?" A dumb question but I couldn't come up with anything better to say.

"You keep going on long walks and you've been acting weird the last week or so." He averted his glare, I couldn't tell if it was because looking at me hurt him, just imagining me with another guy made him mad and jealous, or he was embarrassed for saying such things. Either way I thought it was rather cute and I was a little touched that he cared so deeply for me.

I took a step towards him, I was going to put my arms around him and hug him so tight he wouldn't be able to breath but then my own breath got cut off, I stopped for a moment as I felt that knotting feeling in my gut and I knew I needed to go to the bathroom. Slapping my hand over my mouth I dashed to the on suite loo, Levi had obviously used it last because the lid was up, but for once I wasn't going to complain since the next thing I did was fall to my knees and hurl.

My superior officer and boyfriend came in behind me and patted my back, running his fingers through my hair he pulled any stray strands from my face to make sure I didn't get any sick in my bangs, an action I was grateful for. However, I wasn't so sure about him seeing me throw up.

Once my stomach had settled I grabbed some toilet paper, wiped my mouth, threw it into the loo and flushed. Turning around I clung to Levi's lower half, mostly his legs.

"I'm not cheating, I'm sorry I've just got stuff on my mind. Please, just don't leave me, don't leave me alone." I couldn't help but sniffle as I thought of him walking away and never coming back to me. It would be my hell and I knew my heart would crumble if he did such a thing.

Giving a grumble, obviously irritated, he leaned down and loosened my arms from around him, bending down he looked me in the eye, his usual cold and serious look very obviously there but I was glad to see it. I'd take that look over anger any day.

"I'm not going to leave you Tasha-Chan, I just want to know what's wrong." The corner of his lips twitched up into an awkward looking smile as he kissed my forehead. "I can't sleep when you're not beside me, my insides hurt when I don't know where you are…" He sighed and I knew how hard it was for him to say all of that so I didn't make him say more, it was enough for me.

Reaching my arms out and wrapping them around his surprisingly strong body, I hugged him as tight as my tired limbs would let me, resting my head on his chest, I couldn't help the big smile I had on my face. But his words had led me to believe, like Eren had said, that he wouldn't hate me even if it were true, even if I were pregnant. However, I just couldn't imagine him with a kid.

"I'm sorry, all you need to know for now is that I'm fine and I'm definitely not cheating. It took me long enough to get this far with you, I wouldn't mess it up by doing something so stupid." I spoke in a rush, trying desperately to fake a smile and hold back any hint of tears. I was emotional, I'd just thrown up and had a kind of fight with the guy I loved, I think I was allowed to be a little shaky.

"I'm sorry for accusing you so suddenly." He said in his monotone voice as he returned to his feet. "But I can tell there's something wrong. However I do trust you." He sighed before reaching around himself and pulling my arms from him, it's not like he had to use a lot of strength. "Come on, let's go back to bed."

I looked up at him with a genuine smile and nodded. My legs felt a little wobbly like they always did after I'd been sick so I was careful as I got up off of the floor. Extending his hand, Levi grabbed me by the elbow and helped me up, making sure I didn't fall on my butt and hurt myself.

Surely… he'd make a great father.

Levi got me into bed first, making sure I was comfortable before getting in beside me. He seemed hesitant at first but after a moment I felt his hands grab me and yank me closer to him. He turned his blushing face away so I couldn't get a good view but I decided not to push my luck. I rested my head against his chest and hugged my arms around him, glad for the extra warmth and body contact.

"What about work? We have to be up soon."

"I'm sure they can survive a day without us." He responded, seemingly unfazed by our little scene. "Besides, I've been thinking about telling them about us and letting the higher ups know as well."

"But won't they make us split up!?" I felt my body fill with worry again even though I knew it was stupid, if I really was pregnant than I'd be off of the squad anyway. But just that thought made me touch my stomach, an action that Levi watched with great concentration.

"I'm sure they won't. We've shown that we work well together." Turning on his side Levi looked be straight in the eyes, well it was more of a stare mixed with a glare but let's stick with looked. "Are you sure there isn't something you want to tell me?"

I thought a moment before I responded because I knew that I did really want to tell him but I decided to stall and make sure I had all of the facts before I started telling him things.

"I promise you I'll tell you by the end of the day, I just want to know for sure that I actually have something to tell you before I say anything."

He didn't seem best pleased with my answer but he accepted it and rested his forehead against mine before closing his eyes. "Okay."

The next thing I knew the phone was going off and I was just coming around from a well needed sleep. But before I could fully wake myself up Levi had gotten out of bed and was walking across the room to answer it. I was still too out of it to realize the danger of such a thing.

"Hello?" he answered as I rolled over and checked the clock, suddenly feeling wide awake as I saw that it was already half past ten. "Oh right… I see." Levi's voice sounded too serious for my liking. "I'll be sure to tell her… Thank you." I quickly jumped out of bed and stomped over to him as he put the phone down. His face was blank leaving me unable to read him in any way.

"Well?" I prompted. "Who was it?"

"The doctor." He answered simply, not bothering to give me any details and just leaving me hanging in suspense.

"What did he say?" the worry that I'd expected to feel was rather dormant and it made me feel more anxious than I probably should have. Levi's eyes shifted from my face down to my stomach and then back to my face. But before he said anything he took a step closer to me and pulled me into a big, unexpected hug. "Uh.. Levi-kun!?"

"We're going to be parents…" he whispered. My body froze and I had no clue whether I was happy or not, I mean of course I was but I wasn't sure if it was what I wanted. Gently placing his hands on my shoulders and pulling back, Levi kissed my cheek and then my lips. "We're going to have baby girl." I looked into his eyes and for the first time I saw so much emotion in them that I thought I was dreaming but it made me smile and instantly I knew that I wanted Levi's daughter and I wasn't scared at all.

"We are?" I asked, just making sure he wasn't messing with me. He nodded and pulled me into another well needed hug but this time I hugged back with a big smile on my face and a sudden rush of emotions.

A/N: I hope you liked it! I really am sorry it took so long I've just had a lot of problems recently which made it difficult for me to write anything.

I wasn't too sure about this chapter and where I wanted it to go but I hope it's turning out alright. Please do give me your honest opinions on it and believe me I'm hoping to continue on with the story as soon as I can. :)

Also, Merry Christmas!
