"Water miserable! Land made of ice! And fields of sand!" A small young Armin came up and showed a young Eren and young Y/N a book.

"Ice???" Young Y/N wondered while Eren listened to Armin.

"The outside world must be ten times bigger than inside the walls!" Armin exclaimed having bright and innocent eyes that sparked curiosity.

The young Y/N smiled and longed as Armin continued to exclaim. "Anyone who was those things would be... The freest person in the world."

"This is it. Eren exclaimed with a smile so wide and happy as he threw his arms wide in the air feeling the breeze of the wind. The happiest that he has ever been in his life.

Though under his free state... The despair of people hugging each other in the last moments of being crushed by titans was noticeable.

"We... We finally made it... The view... This is it." Eren looked back with a smile. "Right... Armin, Y/N?"

Though the smile quickly disappeared seeing that Y/N and Armin were years above him with dumbfounded plastered on their face.

It turns out that they were standing in the paths...

"Eren," Armin muttered.

"Y/N?" Levi's voice snapped Y/N out of her mind bringing her back to reality.

"H-huh?" Y/N thought she saw the child version of Eren with a smile. A smile of freedom and happiness despite the despair of people dying.

Silence remained in the room as Y/N's eyes turned from complete calmness to horrid shock.

Levi knew.

He knew she was pregnant. The girl couldn't look back at him. Scared of how he would react. Was he going to be okay with this? Or... Somewhat disappointed.

Why was she thinking of all of this? It's technically Levi's fault for doing it in. The two shorties only did it for healing just a few minutes before the landing of the airship in Paradis.

Half of Y/N's guts were saying he'll be fine with it and half of it says no he won't he probably hates children.

As if Levi was reading Y/N's mind, he spoke up. "I'm fine with it..."

She can only reply with a relieved sigh as she turned around to finally look at Levi. The male Captain stared at his lover's anxious and hesitant eyes.

Seeing her like this made Levi sigh using his right hand to cup and caress her cheek.

"You-"

"Shhhh... If you're worried that you think I'm having negative thoughts about the baby then you're wrong," Levi spoke as he gestured to lie down next to him. Y/N did what he gestured as Levi snuck his arm around her.

"You. Y/N Yeager. Is and will be the only one who can make me feel love... There wasn't anyone who can make me move away from my goal of killing Zeke but... Since he was your brother I held myself back thinking how sad you will be." Those words that Levi had spoken felt like the sugar honey for Y/N's ears as a smile crept on her face.

"You are the only one who can make me feel like fate is actually real even though it sounds too cheesy. You are the only person who I think I can have a future with.

I knew at some point that we were going to get married. Even though I think marriage is useless.

I knew at some point you are going to be a mother to our children and I'll be so happy about it. It sounds lovely but I never expected it to happen so soon." Levi kissed Y/N's forehead sweetly. At this point, the pregnant girl's cheeks and ears were rosy pinks.

"It sounds too good to be real... Especially in this predicament that's happening right now." Y/N muttered.

"True... But promise me to stay alive... And maybe one day we could have those fantasies be a reality." Levi added as his lover hummed in agreement.

"Where the fuck did you learn these cheesy things??" Y/N wondered sitting up.

"I don't know. I guess you make me have these things that I never thought I could do..." The male captain admitted.

"By the way... How did you know that I was pregnant in the first place??"

"Just by watching you fight, you look lazier and more tired than ever." Y/N's eyebrow raised high in confusion from Levi's answer. "In every battle you did you were always filled with energy and determination from the beginning to the end... But you looked like you wanted to end the battle already."

"Hmmm... Makes sense I guess." Y/N gave off a relieved smile finally free from the pressure.

Though the smile ended when Y/N exclaimed feeling a sudden sharp pain from her lower legion as Levi placed his guard up.

"For fuck sake?! What was that?!! It felt like I was hit by lightning on my vagina or something." Y/N clutched her abdomen scrunching her face from the sudden pain.

"Pregnancy things???" Levi wondered and worried as well as he held onto her hand.

"Well isn't that shitty... They really do say pregnancy isn't a joke." Y/N hissed.

"We'll get there together, love. I'll be here with you." Levi reassured.

_____________________________

Y/N closed the door of the room where Levi was sleeping peacefully and sighed as the wind blew through her face. The sea's waters were glistening even in a disaster like this.

The pregnant girl leaned onto the railing feeling deja vu of seeing the sight like this. It made her remember the time when Eren helped her escape Marley and go to Paradis. Oh, how things have changed to its path. What's the soul purpose of Eren helping her? What happens if she didn't follow Kruger aka Eren to escape? Would've she lived a life still stuck in Marley?

"You look dead." Y/N turned her attention to see Annie walking up to her and leaning on the railing beside her.

"I was once dead thanks to your ex-war chief aka my asshole of a brother..." Y/N snickered.

"It's surprising how many times you've visited me..." Annie muttered

"It was only two times... I would've visited you more if Zeke didn't drag my ass back to Marley and Eren dragging my ass to war with Marley..." Y/N defended.

"You were talking to a rock."

"I was talking to a friend who was supposedly inside of a rock." Y/N sarcastically said.

There was a deafening silence between the two. It has been a very long while since the two have a chat. Y/N couldn't help but sigh as the splashing of the ocean waves filled the silence.

"You like Armin don't you?" That question caught Annie off guard as she continued to hide her blushing face in her hair.

Annie continued to stay quiet about it as Y/N continued the conversation. "Make sure to take care of that kid... I watched him grow alongside Eren. Oh, how things have changed..."

"You have changed," Annie spoke sparking Y/N with confusion.

"Huh?"

"Back in the training corps you would always try and boast with a smug smirk but now I think maturity came to you. You would always be excited when a battle comes to chance but now you look so tired of it." Annie explained. "Even though you're one of the oldest amongst the Training corps back then, you haven't learned maturity... But now look at you."

Y/N gave off a chuckle knowing her sudden change throughout the years as she started to walk away as Annie watched her. Though she stopped and looked back at Annie.

"I'll be going to tell Hange some small news..." Y/N smiled softly while she caress her stomach leaving Annie in confusion.

_______________________________

"It's quiet. The people of Odha must have already fled to the south. All the ships have set sail too." Hange spoke as Odiha was just a mile away in sight.

"Well then... The time has come to make a formal request. Lady Azumabito before the Rumbling crosses those mountains..." Hange started as the ship was about to come close to the dock.

"Yes... We will have the flying boat in the sky no matter what it takes." Kiyomi added glancing at Hange. "In return... Find a way. Save our motherland of Hizuru"

"-And the rest of the world" Y/N whispered from beside Hange.

With that Kiyomi and another Azumabito left leaving Y/N and Hange on the deck as the ship parked next to the dock.

"Can't I help them at all??" Y/N stared at her male friends who were helping to discharge the flying boat to the dock in a warehouse for protection.

"Y/N. You're pregnant. I'm not an expert but I think things can happen to the child in you if you were to do extreme things that seem too normal for you" Hange said.

"But extreme is my middle name though..." Y/N shrugged. "Plus... I'll be fine just like before. This baby is still like a month old or so... I don't know"

"No, Y/N. Levi already warned me to help you keep that baby safe." Hange strictly said as Y/N sighed.

"I can't just stand here and watch them do all of the hard work... Women gotta do them hard shits as well you know." Y/N complained once again.

"Women can do the hard work and slay but not when they're pregnant." Hange then placed their hands onto Y/N's shoulders turning them around and lightly pushing her. "Now go back in there and rest..."

"Hmph..." Y/N pouted then looked back at Hange. "You'll promise me we'll do titan experiments and you'll buy me ice cream after all of this?"

"I promise." Hange and Y/N shared a smile as Y/N finally left making the Commander sigh deeply.

______________________________

"NOOOO!!!! NHAAAGH! All of them are dead already?!!!... Commander Magath... Liberio... My entire family...?!" Falco's cries were heard from the outside of the room.

Y/N opened the door of the room showing Gabi and Peick gazing at a panicking and horrified Falco. It was very odd of seeing Gabi so calm while Falco panicking. Mostly it would be the opposite but it was odd.

"Ah, Y/N..." Peick muttered taking the attention of the newly informed pregnant lady. "Congratulations... I never thought you would have a baby at this time."

"Word really spreads fast." Y/N came in and close the door walking up beside Gabi who didn't meet her eye. "Neither did I also think of getting pregnant this early..."

Y/N looked down at Gabi seeing that she was tensed up. The ex-captain had a sense that the kid still felt guilty about killing her best friend. Without a doubt, Y/N didn't care anymore as there was a disaster.

The pregnant lady placed a hand on Gabi's shoulder startling her all of a sudden while Y/N whispered. "Still haven't forgiven you but if you survive this war I'll act nice. So cheer up... "

"Then... What do we do now...?" Falco asked tears streaming down his cheeks as Gabi could only offer a sad gaze on him.

"The Rumbling has already flattened most of the Marleyan continent." Pick answered saddened as well while the kids looked at her.

"What are we supposed to do now...?! All by ourselves?!" Falco exclaimed at Peick who looked hopeless.

"I don't know... I'm sorry..." Pick placed a hand over her forehead and sighed deeply not knowing what to do now that their Commander had died.

Y/N left the room with a scrunched-up face with pure exhaustion from all this. The lady leaned over the steel wall sighing. "Why the fuck do this to us, Eren..."

______________________________

"LEVI YOU STUPID IDIOT!" Y/N shouted.

she ran up to Levi who was limping trying to walk while leaning on the steel bar for support and Armin who was trying to help him.

"What the fuck are you doing?!!! Why are you out of bed?!! " Y/N once again exclaimed hitting Levi's arm gently.

"Ah Y/N... I found Captain wandering around the halls." Armin explained.

"Levi you need to rest you aren't fully healed enough." Y/N's brows furrowed worriedly for the Captain.

"You're being reckless you still need to rest." Armin also added.

"...You want me asleep in bed? You're going to forget that I even exist if I rest any longer." Levi didn't budge at all. "... Anyway that damned bearded lady with all the broken bones...?... Her fever broke. She's awake."

"You mean, Yelena?... Yeah, sure whatever. You're still injured-"

"Make her tell us where Eren is." Levi cut off Y/N's sentence.

"... Okay." Armin agreed hesitantly.

"I'll help... I've got nothing else to do." Pick popped out of nowhere as Armin agreed.

"Well, that's sorted..." Y/N suddenly grabbed Levi's legs pulling him up as she carried him bridal style. Obviously with Levi stunned in her arms. "It's time for me to at least do this to you..."

"You're light as fuck. I should force you to eat more often." Y/N said carrying a slightly grumpy Levi because of how he was being lifted.

Levi tried to tell Y/N to put him down but his lover didn't budge at all continuing to carry him.

"Well, would you look how the seats have changed. Back then you would always carry me like a princess..." Y/N smiled. "And now looks like the princess is carrying her knight in shining armor."

"For the global allied fleet to move to go suppress Paradis... They'll have to gather first in the waval port of Karifa. After the attack on Liberio... We'll give the allies about a month to gather there..." Yelena pointed to the map as Eren listened carefully. "You will come into contact with Zeke and the two of you will gain the power of the founding Titan then you'll activate a limited Rumbling.

Use a few hundred titans from the outer walls of Shiganshina district that should polish off the allies with no problem."

"... Is that the only objective they'll pursue? Will that really be enough to keep them away from Paradis for decades?" Eren questioned.

"A nation that loses its warships will be driven to financial collapse. It'll be more than enough as long as we can hit every major nation." Yelena answered.

Silence fell between the two as both stared at each other for a while.

"I'm sure we will succeed but... There is this fortress in the mountains of southern Marley. If I had to worry about something I'd choose the airship research base there..."

"That will likely be... Eren's second objective." Yelena answered sweaty on her bed.

"Fort Salta...?" Peick questioned. "Right... If he knows about the existence of a weapon that has a chance however small of successfully attacking the Founding Titan..."

"... That'll be his next stop after Karifa. He'll destroy the airships." Yelena continued.

A deafening silence erupted though Y/N sighed heavily beside Levi who sat on a chair.

"You're awfully willing to provide answers..." Levi spoke up.

"I have a request for all of you. Admit it to me. Zeke may have been defeated... But... He was right."

Yelena's words of Zeke being 'right' awfully made Y/N's ears bleed as those three words of Zeke being right made her irritating.

"His euthanization plan was the only way to solve the two-thousand-year-old Eldian problem. Isn't that obvious from this wretched state of affairs...?"

Y/N's fists clenched tightly from anger as she grits her teeth. 'That dumbass wasn't right. 'Eldians aren't supposed to succumb to submission to euthanizing their own race... because it was always each other's false vision of Eldians.'

The pregnant lady was about to say a word but was stopped by Levi's hand holding hers. He caresses her hand with his thumb sending her not to intervene. Y/N had no choice but to do what he said but glared at Yelena.

Hange looked at Yelena with slight surprise but quickly diverted their gaze away saying. "Sure. I'll admit it. I had no solutions... No hope and no future to show Eren. I was powerless."

"What a fucking drag." Y/N grit her teeth wanting to at least punch something.

______________________________

"Hange!! Takeoff sequence starts in an hour!" Onyakopon exclaimed.

"Got it!!" Hange answered turning to the last Survey Corps. "You heard them. Everyone inspect your equipment."

"Yes, Commander!" Everyone answered as everyone did.

Y/N adjusted the straps of her maneuver gear to make it loose as it was flexible for her to work in. The lady noticed her lover struggling to grip his blades only having two of his pinky and ring finger. The others also watch a bit worried for the captain.

"... Two fingers is all I need. All good." Levi answered not facing the stares at him.

Y/N felt guilty for even letting him fight along though as stubborn as Levi is he wanted to come along. The lady kissed her lover's bandaged head gently.

Everyone waved a farewell to Annie who decided to be left on the ship with Falco and Gabi.

Of course, Annie and Armin had that one last look at each other lovey-dovey moment.

"Well damn Armin... Really letting your girl go like that? If Levi and I would've been like that I would've kissed the hell out of him." Y/N said.

"!!... Like how?!" Armin questioned.

"Armin is still Armin," Mikasa muttered.

"To be honest... We really needed her." Jean admitted.

"But... Annie's done more than enough fighting." Connie added.

"I'm glad... Annie... Should just keep on being Annie." Armin muttered then looked down in sorrow.

"Are you all sure about this? Even if we do stop the Rumbling... To think of how Eldians will be treated after that..." Hange's eyes sparkled and continued to wonder.

"I hate to say it... But you're right. General Magath left us with one final order though..." Peick said with a longing look. "Work together... To do what must be done."
