Kaurla's POV

I completely cleared my schedule today to make room to have an appointment with Doctor Hanji. All my son did was volunteer and we ended up taking care of a disabled lonely teen who wish to have a normal life.

The two was already walking to school hand-in-hand which gave Grisha and I the perfect time to leave.

The two didn't know about the appointment only the phone call.

We also eavesdropped on their conversation in the bathroom. I was heartbroken to hear that the next day she would probably drop dead so that's when I decided to schedule and appointment with Hanji.

I wanted to see if she had pills to last about the rest of the week till they could make more but Grisha did add the part that she was slowly dying so once it all cancels out she's over.

We both got into the car and I started driving to the hospital.

"You know... I'm really going to miss Mikasa" I started when we came to a red light.

"Me to, she's like the daughter I know we would never have, especially since Eren was the only child we could make" Grisha sighs.

"Yeah..." I trailed off. "I feel bad for her to, she has to go to school looking at everyone else walk perfectly and not having to worry about taking pills or the deaths of their parents...She probably feels depressed...What if she secretly envies Eren as well?" I thought.

"Kaurla calm down, the two loves each other and you can tell because of the ruckus they made last night" he slightly chuckled.

I largely ignored the fact of my child having sex.

The only reason I didn't interfere was because Mikasa would never have that feeling ever again.

I pulled up at the hospital and the both of us gets out and walks hastily inside the medical building.

"Um excuse me I'm looking for Hanji" I say to the lady at the counter.

"Hanji is in a meeting right now your going to have to wait" she says in an irritated tone. "Well how long does the meeting last?" I asked. She sighs. "Another 10 minutes" she checks before turning her back to me.

My and Grisha eyed each other and before I can secretly, quickly strangle her from behind Grisha grabbed ahold of my arms and pulled me to the chairs in the waiting room. He rubs my legs to comfort me.

Were silent for a while and I had the time to think about everything. How would Eren react most of all? After all he's the one dating the chick.

"I'm worried about Eren" I suddenly say. Grisha eyes me before embracing me into a tight squeeze.

"I know pumpkin but I'm sure everything will be alright" He assures me. That's a lie. Mikasa was going to die tomorrow.

"Don't lie to me" I said a bit sad. My voice cracking up.

"Kaurla..." "Grisha... She's just a kid who wants to live, a kid who wants to see the world, get married, live...She can't do all of that dead at 16" I cry.

"She's just a kid" I lower my head sympathetically.

He says nothing but rubs my back. It makes me feel guilty.

39 and still living with no problems or illness and a 16 year old enters my life begging for what I have...No. mostly everyone has but not her.

I'd take her place any day if I have to. To make her happy and Eren.

"Mr and Mrs Yeager!" I heard the familiar voice of Hanji call us out.

Both of us look up at the adult who quickly walks up to us. We both stand.

"Sorry I'm late I was in a meeting, but when I heard you two was here I tried my best to get here earlier" she chuckles nervously.

"It's okay" Grisha accepts her small apology.

"By the looks of it" she starts off gazing at me. "It's about Mikasa...

Isn't it?" She asked still looking directly at me. I simply nodded a bit ashamed of myself.

She sighs sadly and runs a hand through her brushed hair. "Follow me" she says calmly putting on a fake smile.

We both follow her into a small office that's isolated itself from other rooms. It sat in an empty hall that abandoned hospital beds went into.

"Come in" she opens the door allowing us to go in first. We both take a seat at the two chairs that waited for us patiently by a desk where I'm guessing Hanji sat behind.

"So what about Mikasa?" She asked folding her hands.

"Well when was the last time you spoke to her?" I asked first off. "A day or two ago, she called me about how her illness has gotten worse and that she was coughing up blood" Hanji recalls.

"Illness? What illness, I thought she was only paralysed?!" I exclaimed.

"I wish that was it, other wise she would be living a normal life only needing pills, but before the incident with her parents she has had a severe illness, she was diagnosed with hemoptysis, there are other symptoms she has had occur like heavy breathing and trouble sleeping-"

"Yeah, a lot, when she can't sleep she usually stay up for a while and try to fall asleep on the couch but it isn't until 3 in the morning" I informed her.

Hanji frowns. "But during the car crash she wasn't really injured only bruises and a few scratches, the part that got to her was that it all took her by surprise, her neck was slammed into the driver's seat causing her upper part of the body to go completely paralysed then when she tried to quickly move and realized half her body was paralyzed she just laid there...The driver seat pushed back on her legs causing them to break but after fixing them they fell paralysed as well" Hanji explained.

At this point I had tears in my eyes.

"It took her almost a year and a half for her to wake up from her coma, I prayed she be okay and to find her up I was so relieved, but when she couldn't talk she went into panic and passed out. But when she recovered I told her everything and eventually she cried, I held her close to me and swore everything be back to normal. I'm glad your son, Eren, came though" she smiled.

"He gave her memories she enjoys and talked to me about lots of things they did when he would visit, he would ask politely to borrow her for the day and take her to the beach, Library or whatever. The best part was hearing the happiness in her tone. He's a hero" She lets out a happy sigh.

The grip on my hand tightens on Grisha's. I force myself to place a warm smile and not shed a tear.

"H-Hanji..." I cry out noticing how sad I was. "Yes?" She replies.

I kneel my head down trying to hide the tears that fell.

"Hanji we need more pills for her, she somehow lost most of them and probably had about 3 or 2 left, tomorrow is her last day please tell me you have a few more pills" I cry.

Hanji's face went pale. "I'm afraid...We don't have anymore pills Mrs Yeager, if we started now we still wouldn't finish on time, those pills last 12 hours but it would take a whole week to prepare more" she tells.

"So there's really no hope for her..." I trail off. Hanji sniffs a bit and abruptly stands up.

"I need a minute" she excuses herself and quickly exits the room.

But once she's gone I fell into tears. Grisha holds me tightly and kisses my forehead. He whispers soothing words to me but I knew I wouldn't be calm. Not at all.

I loved Mikasa.

Mikasa's POV

Eren and I was picked up early from school and escorted back home with Eren's parents. The adult couple suggest we have family time together playing video games, eating and all. I liked the idea of having fun with them and went ahead into the living room when Eren and his dad plugged up Eren's gaming system to the living room TV.

"Pick any game you want Mikasa" Eren says handing me a box of games. I pick a shooting game.

I play the whole time while the other three shared the other controller. I insisted on giving up my controller but they all didn't want to.

We ate pizza, French fries, drunk sodas and all. It was an awesome family party.

After playing several video games for 2 hours we all play some board games and physical games. We play twister, monopoly, chutes and ladders, battlefield and more. We also played domino's. Now we was getting ready to walk to the park and have a little treat of Ice cream.

But I excused myself to go to the bathroom real quick.

My twelve hours was up. I needed another pill.

I emptied the container and the two pills fell out into the palm of my hand. "Shit" I swore to myself.

It was only a matter of time. Everyone knew.

And by everyone I meant even our friends right before me and Eren left. I told them about my illness and how the pills would make me walk but decrease my lifespan. When they found out I had 2 pills left they all broke down in tears. Mina, Christa, Hitch, Sasha, all cried on me showering me with tight hugs and soft kisses, Bertholdt, Connie, and Jean was on the verge of tears hugging me for about minutes and people like Ymir and Reiner tried their best to not cry and hugged me for a long time. Annie however wasn't in sight of a vultures eye. "How do you just come into our lives only to be leaving so soon" Ymir said to me earlier with tears streaming down her cheeks.

It hurt to see someone you thought was so strong break down and crumble right in front of you.

I sniffed a bit. I didn't want to think about it now. I already knew how I wanted to die and for me it wouldn't be because of my body going numb and bleeding out.

The ocean was my new home.

I'm sure I could take it.

I descended downstairs and plastered a small smile when I saw Eren. His hand grabbed ahold of mine and he gave it a gentle squeeze. He kissed my forehead. "Alright let's go" Eren says.

We all walk to the familiar park I recognize when the little boy was flirting with me and we had ice cream. It was amazing.

"Wanna walk around or swings?" Eren asked. "Neither. I wanna.... Ride on your back" I decided.

He seemed surprised with my answer but without protesting her quickly grabbed my thighs and hoisted me up putting me on his neck, I let out a loud, surprised shriek. I held on tightly to his neck.

"Sorry if I'm not tall enough" he says a bit embarrassed. I shrugged. "It's alright"

We walk around for a bit and I am overwhelmed with the beautiful sight of the pink petals that fell slowly to the ground from the Sakura tree's. "There beautiful" I commented.

Eren picks a petal up and hands it to me. "Why you give it to me?" I asked.

"Luck, like how I'm lucky to have you with me" He starts off. "I'm lucky that you took me to places I thought I never see" I go. "I'm lucky to have such an amazing girlfriend" He says.

"I'm lucky to have you in my life, I mean it" I say more serious now.

"I got a question Eren" I suddenly say. "Yes?" He asked. "Why is it, that the good things in life never last forever?" I asked resting my chin on his shoulder.

He stayed quiet.

"Actually, I wonder the same Mikasa. There is so many things beautiful and heartwarming things about this world" he says.

"But most of this world. Danger lurks on every corner, it's so cruel that the beautiful things go so soon that we never have enough time to charis them because we think they last forever, we never think about what we would do if it left...That's why Mikasa, I helped you" He confessed.

"I didn't want you to suffer, I wanted you to see that there was beauty and love in the world not just cruelty, if you think you was just a waste of life dont. You didn't waste my time and your not a mistake, so don't you dare think that! I love you and you know it so please just enjoy the rest of life you have with me" he croaks.

"We only have a day left, I don't want to think about tomorrow" He says sadden.

I jump off him and once I take in our surroundings I see were alone on the park trail.

"I love you Eren, and thanks for helping me realize that I was wrong about this world, besides the fact that my life has been hell, being with you and having all these things I thought I would never have made me see the world differently, thanks" I embraced him in a small hug.

"I love you Mikasa" He says before planting his lips on mine. I treasure this kiss because God knows it'll be the last one we ever have.
