A/N : I know it's kinda late, but THANK YOU FOR 100K READS !! As a form of my gratitude, I present to you.. A special chapter..!

------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Ah.. This sucks."

The young woman massages the space between her scrunched eyebrows and let out a dissatisfied groan. Tiredness is evident in her orbs, and black circles are forming under her eyes. About a few seconds later, a soft, small clattering sound of a plate steals her attention.

"You should have something to fill your stomach if you're drinking that much coffee."

Somehow, she tiredly opens her eyes to see a plate of cinnamon roll placed near her stacks of paperwork. Of course, her mouth watered in an instant, "Woah.. did you buy this downstairs ? Because I'm sure as hell our pantry doesn't have this kind of snack. Are you trying to bribe me to do your work ?"

He sighs, "No, I'm just concerned about your well being. It's not good for you to consume nothing but caffeine."

"Huh..?! You could've bought me McDonald's instead of this shi-"

A cold hand perches on her shoulder, and a pair of purple eyes are staring at the pent up female.

"At least be grateful for the food, Gabi."

Yes. The irked young lady who just complained about a single cinnamon roll is nonetheless Gabi Braun, a cousin of Reiner who works as a chauffeur.

Gabi tilts her head to the side, "Damn. Sorry, I'm just tired. I didn't expect that the internship program I signed up for would be this difficult to handle."

"At least you have us." Zofia assured her brown haired friend who just slumped down on her seat.

"Don't forget us too !"

The two ladies shot their heads to the source of the voice, where Udo is approaching Gabi's table while dragging along a blushing Falco, "It's a miracle that the four of us managed to pass the interview for this program. I heard rumors that a lot of interns got rejected just because they don't look 'clean'." He quoted the last word.

"I really hope we can get a job here too. I mean, the profit always escalates. Just imagine the salary.." Gabi sighs dreamily.

Falco shot her a look, "It does sounds promising, but please remember that the most important thing in an internship program in experience and skill-"

"Stop nagging me, you're not my mom !!"

"I'm only worried about you !"

"Hey, guys ? That's enough. It's still 10 in the morning, we'll be damned if we create a ruckus. You're embarrassing the four of us !"

"Udo is right. Can you two please stop- "

Before Zofia could proceed to stop the small quarreling session between Falco and Gabi, her purple eyes caught a figure standing near the door of the room they're working in. The white haired intern quickly unincluded herself from the ruckus and bowed to the figure, "Good morning, ma'am."

Soon, her friends notice what Zofia just did. And they copy her gesture as well as giving their greetings to whoever is standing by the door.

"Are you guys alright ? I heard quite a commotion from the other side of this floor."

The interns quickly shook their heads. "My apologies, ma'am. We didn't mean to disturb you. I can assure you that everything is well handled here." Zofia spoke.

"Is that so ? Well, I hope you're right," the figure then hummed a little, "oh by the way, I'm here to inform you personally that I won't be your internship supervisor for tomorrow. So someone from the research department will replace my role."

Gabi is the first one to groan, "Nooooo..! Why does it have to be Mrs. Sm- Argh !! Oi, it hurts !" She rubs the back of her head that has just been slapped by Falco, "What did I do wrong, idiot ?" She hissed.

"You're the idiot one.." Zofia muttered under her breath.

Udo smiles nervously, "Of course, Ma'am. We'll be pleased to have any supervisor you give us."

The figure only chuckles upon watching the four of them. They're all young and energetic. It reminds her of the days she started working with her friends here.

"So, how's your first week as an intern in the ?"

Zofia rubs her chin, "It was hard to adapt at first, but now we're getting the hang of it. I love the work ethic." She sends a small, yet sincere smile.

"I'm getting quite comfortable actually, although some employees here are scaring me hehe.." Udo confessed.

"As for me, I.. I don't think I can keep up to Zofia, Falco, and Udo. But I'll try my best to develop my skills and enjoy the chance of being an intern in one of the most advanced companies. I could add this experience to my CV. I SHALL NOT LOSE TO FALCO !"

Their supervisor only nods in response before turning to Falco, "How about you, young man ?"

"Me ? Oh, everything's going well for me. I just hope I can get a real job and be an employee here someday. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have a single chance of being here. So thank you very much, Auntie (Y/n) !" The blonde beamed.

Yes. It was her who offered the fresh graduates to work as interns for the Ackerman Company. At first, she only gave the offer to Falco, but being the magnanimous woman she is, she told him that he could bring a few friends too so that he wouldn't feel lonely in a new environment.

(Y/n) gives a sheepish smile, "It's nothing, really. I'm happy to have a bunch of sunshine like you here. And maybe, if you guys work hard enough, the boss might consider recruiting you to be a legal employee. So, do your best !" She cheered, "I-"

"(Y/n) ! THERE YOU AREEEEEE !"

The four newbies watched as a brown haired woman with glasses nearly tackled their kind hearted supervisor, "Am I going to watch over these cuties tomorrow ? Tell meee !!" She squealed.

"You're correct, these interns are going to be under your supervision tomorrow," (Y/n) turns to them, "This is Mrs. Smith. She's the one I told you earlier. I'm sure you already know who she is."

"Yeah of course I know this crazy- OUCH !"

Udo clears his throat, "Yes ma'am. We are aware of who Mrs. Smith is. She's the head of the research department, married to Erwin Smith, the company stock advisor. I admire your brilliant ideas about this company's upcoming products, I've also seen your records of the past research project. I look up to you a lot, Mrs. Smith."

Instead of boasting about herself like a man woman, Hanji shot the black haired intern a gentle yet excited look, "I'm flattered, dear. You know what ? If you ever get accepted as an employee here, I'll personally recruit you to be my research secretary. Moblit has gone lazy these days, I'm sure he'll be happy to receive a companion."

"Really ???"

"Mhm !"

"Then.. I'll do my best ! Please take good care of me, Mrs. Smith !" Udo grins.

Hanji cooed at the sight, "Awww look at him, enthusiastic smol bean..," She cupped her mouth before leaning closer to (Y/n)'s ear, "I can't wait for mine to come out."

(Y/n)'s eyes widened to the size of a tomato, "what.. When ?? Does Erwin..."

The brunette only winked at her, "Erwin doesn't know about it yet." She mouthed quietly.

"I bet yours will be a fucking genius.. A mixture of Erwin and you, jeez.. It'll surely be the smartest kid in the goddamn universe."

Not long after that, Hanji shooed (Y/n) to go back to work instead of dealing with the interns. The woman nodded before dismissing herself and heading off to her usual desk. But, she changes her mind. Instead of sitting behind the receptionist desk, her feet brought her to a familiar double door.

There he is.

Doing his job like usual, his fingers type on the keyboard ever so quickly that his veins are prominent to see. Just when (Y/n) closes the door behind her back, the chairman acknowledges her presence, "I've been waiting for you brat."

Yes. Chairman. You didn't read that wrong. Kenny Ackerman had retired and gave his position as a chairman to his very own nephew. The future of the Ackerman Company now lies in Levi's hands.

"Well, here I am." She chuckles before standing right in front of his table while holding out a tablet, "here's the statistics of the interns' performance for the past one week. And the attachment over here is their overall output, you may want to check those and consider hiring them. I also already emailed you the copy of their personal reports."

"I see. Now, do me a favor and sit on the couch over there." He pointed to one of the couches in his wide personal office before returning his attention to the computer screen.

(Y/n) purses her lips as if hesitating upon this weird request, but she obeyed.

After sitting on the couch for what feels like.. five minutes or so, Levi finally approaches the woman and throws his body on the cushion, resting his head on (Y/n)'s lap while his feet are stretched out on the couch. (Y/n) let out a small laugh upon his silly antics. She then combs Levi's hair using her fingers, earning a content sigh from the exhausted chairman as he closes his eyes in bliss.

"Tired ?"

Levi peers open his eyes to look up at her before giving a small nod, "Mhm."

"Do you want Reiner to drive you home ? There aren't much on your agenda aside from having lunch with the head of Stark Industry today-"

"Tch, no. Just.. let me stay this way. I need to recharge my energy." He turns on his side and wraps his arms around (Y/n), then he tries to bury his face in her tummy.

The secretary giggles, "Hey, that tickles."

"I don't care."

His response earns a laugh from her again. And Levi felt like his ears are blessed every time he hears her laugh, especially when he's the reason that made her laugh. It sort of gives him a feeling of.. victory. Still pressing his face on her tummy, Levi manages to muffle some words clearly, "If I take a day off, could you come along ?"

"I wish I could, but there are so many things that need my attention and presence. Including the interns. So you'll have to go home without me."

Levi shook his head furiously, whining, "But I want you to go home with me. We could use a small break from those brats."

With a pleading look, Levi looks up to his wife, "you dare to leave me alone ? And you're just going to work your ass off in the office ?"

"Quite frankly, you won't be alone. Kenny and Kuchel are currently in your place right now, they have volunteered to watch over (S/n)." (Y/n) flicks his forehead.

[(S/n) = Son's name]

(S/n). Yes. (S/n) Ackerman. He's a two years old cutie who won't stop bawling his eyes out if his room isn't clean yet. What a perfect copy of (Y/n)'s husband.. (S/n) is the only one that can bring a smile to Levi's face aside from (Y/n). The boy is Levi's pride and joy, his small ray of sunshine. Levi couldn't ask for more. He finally built the family he always dreamed of with (Y/n). There's no word to describe how happy Levi was when he heard (S/n)'s first word. The boy didn't say 'Mommy' or 'Daddy'. But instead, the first thing that came out from his mouth was 'Tch'. Levi can still recall the priceless look on (Y/n)'s face when her son said that.

"Come on sweetie, you can do it. Say mommy !"

"Say daddy." Levi interrupted, holding a camera beside his wife to record his son's first word.

(Y/n) threw him a dirty look before cooing at the baby again, "Don't listen to that dwarf, say mommy !"

"Nnn..nngtt.."

The couple tilted their heads while waiting for their son.

"T..T.."

His mother cheered for him, "Aww.. do you want to say 'titan' ? I know Hanji has been bugging you-"

"Tch."

The smile on (Y/n)'s face dropped in an instant, all the colors on her face were drained, leaving her pale as Voldemort. But then.. The man beside her let out a chuckle while lifting up his son and praising him.

(Y/n)'s husband booped (S/n)'s nose, "Daddy's proud of you."

"Levi.."

He carefully sets down his son in the crib before turning to (Y/n), "yes ?"

"You fucking dipshit... It seems like the way you communicate has infected our son, now I'll give you 5 seconds to run before I drag you to hell myself."

"Darling, wait-"

Levi had to hide from (Y/n)'s wrath that day, his wife was fuming with anger, thinking that he had taught his child to do his infamous tongue clicking. If it weren't for Porco and Hanji that came to the rescue, (Y/n) would've beaten the shit out of her husband with a frying pan.

"Wait.." Levi's eyebrows scrunches in realization, "Kenny is there too ?"

"Yeah. Kuchel said she couldn't leave him alone in the mansion because there's a high chance Kenny will burn down the house. So basically, Kuchel is babysitting two boys in your place."

Levi reluctantly got up from his wife's comfortable lap and headed towards his table to fetch his phone, "get ready, we're leaving early today."

But (Y/n) shook her head in disagreement, "Nope, I'll stay here. I can't leave a bunch of projects behind, and the meeting with- Mmph !"

She didn't even realize that Levi had zoomed towards her direction and appeared right before her to silence her mouth with a kiss.

"You.." kiss, "will.." kiss, "come home.." kiss, "with me."

After catching their breath, (Y/n) fanned herself with her hand, "What's the matter ? You seem quite.. Needy today. You usually let me do my work."

"I just want to spend time with you, as a family. All those intern brats have been stealing your attention for a week, and you barely pay attention to me." He puffed out his cheeks.

"That, my dear husband, is because we're in the office. We must keep our professional image."

"Tch.."

"So, have you contacted Reiner for the ride home ?"

Levi shook his head, "No. I texted Onyankopon instead. He's way better than that troublesome suicidal maniac. Stupid Braun always weeping in the car about how he's unable to fullfil his duty as a warrior or some shit these days, it pisses me off."

"Aw.." A small smile crept up to his lips as (Y/n) gave him a quick peck on the cheek, "poor you."

The couple then took a ride back home, and it took about 40 minutes to get there.

As soon as they arrived, Levi swung the entrance door open and strutted inside in anticipation. He squinted his eyes to see Kenny sitting on the carpet with a small whiteboard and marker in his hand. And (S/n) is sitting in front of the old man, listening innocently.

"Okay boy, now repeat after me. 'My daddy is a grumpy runt'. Got it ?"

"....Hm ?"

"Huh. You suck. Now let's try a new sentence. 'Kneel, you mewling quim'. You- ARGH ! FUCKING HELL !!"

Just in time, (Y/n) fetches her son from the floor and bring him away while covering his ears. On the other side, Levi just kicked the hell out of his uncle numerous times, "What the fuck did you teach to my son ? Some useless shit ?"

"Define shit."

Levi growled as a warning.

"Just a few words that he should know." Kenny smirked.

"Is he doing it again ?" Kuchel appears from the kitchen with a concerned look, "I can't believe I left my very own brother for a solid ten minutes and came back to see this. I need you to behave Kenny, I only left for a while to make some tea. And I don't want to see Ackermans murdering each other. The same goes to you, Levi. Now sit down and be on your best behavior."

Both Kenny and Levi went pale when Kuchel used her voice full of authority. The two grown men immediately sit down on the couch with their hands folded on their lap.

A few minutes later, (Y/n) comes into the living room alone, witnessing two men sitting as if they're in detention, "I'm not surprised anymore," she chuckled, "do you want to stay for lunch ? I'm sure it's tiring to babysit (S/n)."

"Actually dear, Kenny has private knitting lessons with me this afternoon. He's old and he needs to know how to make a sweater for his grandchild. So I'm afraid we can't accept your offer." Kuchel said.

"Is that right ?" (Y/n) raises her eyebrows at Kenny who's still sitting on the couch.

The man with the fedora hat was about to shake his head when he saw Kuchel standing behind (Y/n), giving him a death glare and a sweet smile while making slicing motions on her neck.

"Uh.. yeah. That's right. I can't stay for lunch."

(Y/n) then nods in understanding.

The Ackerman brother and sister bid their goodbyes before going back to the main Ackerman mansion. And now it's just (Y/n) and her husband.

"I'm going to check on (S/n) if he's already asleep, wanna tag along ?"

With a quiet nod, Levi rises from the couch and follows (Y/n) to their son's bedroom. His stoic face turns soft as soon as he sees the sleeping boy. (S/n) inherits his father's black hair, and the boy has his mother's eyes.

The first week after (S/n) was born, Erwin and Hanji came over to pay a visit. They brought a shit ton of toys and baby clothes. And when Erwin examines (S/n)'s features, he unconsciously says the first thing that crossed his mind.

"You have your mother's eyes."

Ever since that day, Levi only felt joy. Knowing that every time he looks at his son, he'll always be reminded of his wife.

And now, back to the present.

Levi caresses (S/n)'s chubby cheek with his pale finger, "he's sleeping." He half whispered, not wanting to wake up his son.

"Thankfully, yes. I'm still wondering how I managed to deal with his cries at night until now. Christa even asked me why I drink so much coffee in the office pantry."

They decided to leave the sleeping child alone and head to the living room.

"Too much coffee is not good for you. I guess now I need to check on you more often at work. You even look a bit pale."

"Me ?" (Y/n) smiles, "don't worry, it's just the lack of sleep. (S/n)'s keeping me up at night and I rarely have time to rest properly."

"Maybe you should have a daily nap time in my private office. I can provide blankets and pillows-"

But Levi was cut off by a finger pressed to his lips.

The secretary shook her head, "Hush now. It's very sweet of you to do so. But I can't just leave my work behind for a nap in the office, that's unfair."

"At least do it for me ?" Levi pleaded, utterly concerned about her health.

After a few seconds of silence, (Y/n) finally gave in, "I guess that could be arranged."

"(Y/n)."

"Yes ?"

Levi pulls her body close to his, "don't you think (S/n) will be lonely growing up on his own ?"

"Huh ?" She tilted her head, "of course not, he has you and me-"

"I mean siblings."

"Oh..."

His hands travelled up and down her body, "It's not good if they're too far apart in age. Since (S/n) is now only two years old, it'll be a perfect time to add a new little brother or sister." He planted kisses on her neck, "besides, I've always wanted another one."

"Ah.. L-Levi.."
