Part 1: Sometimes Life Turns Out Alright
Pairing: Levi Ackerman x Hange Zoe
Summary: Life simply seems to be absolutely perfect. Perhaps it really..just is.
Part 1/? (Not sure how much I'll write,will edit later)
The blinding hospital lights had nothing against the relief one feels when the silent newborn they are offered suddenly bursts into loud and aggravated crying. When it begins slowly nudging its head around, searching for the comfort of its mother’s warm skin..it feels like life is truly complete. Hange personally may dare say they had never felt so alive.
Doctors muttering and shuffling around in the seemingly cramped room would, under any other circumstance, make the person’s head spin, make them dizzy. Yet not now. Not today. Not when the product of their and Levi’s love laid in their tired arms, nursing from their bosom. Not when their husband’s worried face came into view finally as the man laid their glasses back onto their sweaty face. Even taking the time to push some of the hair that had stuck to their cheeks and neck away. Levi’s worry, slowly melting into serenity as Hange passed the fruit of their love to him made the person relax even more- completely, in fact, unaware that they could even do such a thing.
And while the words coming from the black haired man before them were still but an amalgam of faint noises, the sound of his voice brought them so much peace. So much so that the pain they were experiencing was nearly nonexistent.
‘’ What shall we name her? Hange? We’ve got the most beautiful princess on our hands..’’
Levi’s words were met with momentary silence as the person laying on the hospital bed tried to think…tried to find a name that would in some way honour the woman that offered them this gem of a husband, this incredibly strong pillar they could lean onto in life.
‘’...Olympia. How about Olympia Kuchel?’’ they asked with a small, warm smile on their pale lips.
And at that, Levi could do nothing more but smile even brighter than he already had been, struggling to contain the tears that tried to come forth.
The hospitalization days passed fast. They tend to do so when one is tired, exhausted even, yet they don't mind. Not one bit, for truth be told Hange was overly excited to start just being a family. A happy family, like perhaps they’d always dreamed they’d be. Resting into the passenger seat of their car, tired eyes fixated on the rearview mirror, adjusted so they’d easily keep an eye on their precious pearl.
‘’She’s not going anywhere, Hange~’’ Levi teased his sweet lover as he drove them home carefully.
His eyes held so much love in them as the man paid close attention to the road ahead.
‘’ I- I know Levi, but she is just so impossibly tiny. She looks like she might slip out of the carrier!’’ They muttered, clearly embarrassed by their behavior. Even blushing slightly!
Once they reached home, Hange wouldn’t let their sweet Olympia out of their sight, not for a moment. Something that yet again caused Levi to lovingly bully them, immediately after making sure to reassure them he was in fact just joking.
And their days would continue to be full of laughter and love, with every little milestone their precious child hit. Oh, the hundreds of pictures Erwin and Miche had to see whenever something even remotely interesting happened regarding the baby. And her first steps? Hange and Levi fawned over Olympia for weeks, simply melting whenever the adorable child pushed herself up and waddled over.
As for when she first said ‘mama’ and ‘dada’? Tears flooded the eyes of the married couple, and tears would keep on coming for about two weeks. Every single time their child called upon one of them, it was a battle holding those loving tears back.
