Love

"Babe?"

Armin, still sitting on the toilet lid, was colorless.

Lara called him once more, with no success.

He was staring at her, his eyes wide open.

Lara pressed her lips together, trying to hold back a laugh. She looked up at the ceiling.

"Jesus, could You please give back my husband's soul? I think it went for a walk and doesn't want to return..."

But apparently, even Jesus Himself was amused by the situation, for Armin remained there, motionless and white like the marble statues they had seen in Tuscany.

Lara giggled and approached him.

"Armin?" She touched his shoulder and he jumped in fright.

"H-Huh?" Armin blinked several times, shaking his head. Then, he looked up at his wife, "B-Baby, what did you say j-just now?"

Lara gave him a kind smile and took his face, gazing deeply at him.

"I said I'm pregnant, sweetheart."

He widened his eyes.

"H-How did that happen?" Armin managed to say, after a few seconds of silence.

Lara chuckled.

"Well..." she said, looking understanding, "How can I explain? You see, when a man and a woman love each other, they usually do--"

"I know how it happened!" exclaimed Armin, waving his hands in anxiety, which made Lara laugh even more at seeing his despair. "It was a rhetorical question! I-I meant… When did that happen?!" He gazed at his wife, his blue eyes blinking quickly.

Lara wanted to pinch his cheeks, but she thought it was not the right time to do so. Lara rubbed her chin thoughtfully.

"Hmm..." she frowned, "I believe it was that time we made love in front of the fireplace last month…" Lara gave him a cheeky smile, "I remember very well that your performance was excellent!"

Armin's mouth gaped open, perplexed.

He stood up suddenly, holding Lara's face with both hands.

"A-Are you r-really sure? You're pregnant?!"

Having her cheeks squeezed by Armin's hands, she nodded. As Lara practically pouted, she managed to say:

"My period is late. But since it's a bit irregular, I thought it was nothing. But then I began experiencing other symptoms, like tiredness and some nausea. Besides, it's been a few days since I can't stand the smell of the mocha coffee we prepare. Apart from the fact that when Naomi was born, I had this very different feeling, as if that baby had awakened something inside me..." Lara gave him a little smile as if she was talking about the weather, "So, it was easy to connect the dots!" Lara's smile got wider, "We're having a baby!"

Armin stared at her for a few more seconds and then, to Lara's total surprise, he brought their lips together and gave her a very passionate kiss. Just like on the airship, when they reconciled many years ago, she raised her arms to her sides with the unexpected kiss, but then she gave in entirely, holding on to his blond hair, returning the kiss with the same intensity.

When they drew apart, Armin was still holding her face, but now, Lara noticed that tears were streaming down from his eyes and he was smiling.

"You have no idea how much I love you!" he exclaimed, giving her a long peck kiss. "I'm so, so happy with this news, my love!"

Lara felt her eyes water and returned the smile.

"Prepare yourself, my friend," she laughed, "because now I'll be eating for two!"

"May you eat even for three! I don't mind!" exclaimed Armin, pulling her into a tight hug, which she returned. He then whispered in her ear, "I love you so much, my love."

"I love you too, babe, very much..." replied Lara, stroking his hair, while they still hugged.

Armin drew apart and slowly lowered himself, until his face was leveled with Lara's belly, holding it affectionately.

"Hey, Tiny-Human-Bean!" he said, with a big smile. Armin looked up, "Darling, look! Our first Tiny-Human-Bean!"

Lara chuckled and stroked Armin's face.

"I just wanna see my parents' reaction when they find out!"

Armin stood up in a jump, mouth agape.

"That's right! Today we're having lunch at their house!" He held Lara's hands, "Do you already wanna tell them?"

She frowned thoughtfully.

"Yeah, I think it's better to do so. 'Cause since I'm having some nausea, if I get sick at their house, they might think something's weird. So it's better to just spit it out at once." Lara chuckled, "Besides, I'll be quite anxious if I don't tell them soon!"

"No, no!" Armin waved his hands in affliction, "You cannot be stressed at all! If you think it's better to tell them today, then we'll do it!"

They both smiled, squeezing their hands. They hugged again, with a few tears streaming down their cheeks. They gazed at each other and slowly touched their lips, moving their mouths for another passionate kiss.

Right after the second Lara announced she was pregnant at her parents' house, Hange stood up in such a jump that the chair she was sitting on by the table fell backward, scaring Hannah very much, who pouted in tears.

"I-I-I-I-I'M GONNA BE A GRANDMA?!?!?!?!" she hopped in place and gripped her hair, giving a big smile. Hange turned to her husband, "LEVI! WE'RE GONNA BE GRANDPARENTS!!!"

Levi was sitting in the chair, staring at a fixed point, wide-eyed, as if he had just seen a ghost.

Lara and Armin looked at each other with a little smile and were amused at Hange's euphoria. Kuchel was a bit confused and Hannah still had a crying pout.

"I don't get it..." said Kuchel, looking from one to the other. Lara smiled at her younger sister and stroked her own belly.

"There's a tiny baby in here," Lara pointed to her belly, "You're gonna be an auntie!"

Kuchel's eyes gleamed, for she could already understand a bit the concept of pregnancy, due to spending a lot of time with Mikasa when she was pregnant, and Kuchel started clapping her hands excitedly, squealing with joy. Hannah still didn't quite understand about these matters, but at seeing her sister so happy, she gave a shy little smile and clapped her hands as well.

Levi, however, was still paralyzed. Armin and Lara looked at each other again, this time raising their eyebrows. Lara placed her hand over her father's, gently.

"Daddy?" she called, shaking him lightly, "Are you okay?"

Slowly, Levi turned to face his eldest daughter, who smiled at him.

"Did you like the news, Dad?" asked Lara, leaning towards him.

Then, something completely unexpected happened.

Many, many tears started to stream down Levi's eyes. Like Hannah, he pouted and covered his face, leaning his elbows on the table, bouncing his shoulders, and sobbing profusely.

Exclamations like "Daddy!" or "Levi!" were heard as everyone gathered around him, asking if he was all right. Levi finally looked up, gazing at Lara, his eyes red. He held her face with his injured hand.

"My sweet baby girl..." he said, with a choked-up voice, "This is the best news you could ever have given me!

Lara couldn't hold back anymore and she herself began to shed tears. At the same time, father and daughter pulled each other into a tight hug. By now, Hange and Armin were also crying with emotion, while Kuchel and Hannah were still clapping in celebration.

They spent the rest of the afternoon in complete bliss. Lara wasn't even allowed to lift a finger to help dry the dishes, with them claiming that her priority now was to rest. Levi himself guided her to sit on the couch, holding her by the hands, as if she could fall and break her head at any moment. Lara thought about saying that all of that was an extreme exaggeration, because pregnancy is not a disease, but deep down, she really enjoyed being treated with so much affection, and ended up allowing herself to be spoiled at that moment.

Hange seemed to be in Heaven, saying stuff about everything she was going to do with her future grandson or granddaughter, about how much she was going to shower the baby with presents, and that they would spend lots of time playing in her lab. Levi, on the other hand, stated that he would ensure that his grandson or granddaughter learned to invest from an early age.

Lara and Armin replied they didn't need to shower the baby with presents, as they didn't want to spoil it, but they thought it was an excellent idea for the baby to learn about Biology from Hange and about investments from Levi, in order to have a much safer and promising future.

Kuchel and Hannah spent most of the afternoon stroking Lara's belly while talking to the new Tiny-Human-Bean.

When they got home at night, Armin made sure to buy Lara's favorite pizza for her to eat as much as she wanted. They had dinner in front of the fireplace, to honor the spot where the baby was conceived, while giving many passionate kisses between the slices of pizza.

Months went by and Lara didn't like doing internal work at the Headquarters in the slightest, because, like her mother, she didn't like being left out of the action, especially in the pursuits they did when they had to arrest a gang of thieves.

Lara tried to escape the Headquarters sometimes, much to Armin's affliction, who once in a while would find his wife in the middle of a road, with a thief trapped under her feet, with her handcuffing their hands behind their back, and her big belly intimidating the miscreants, who would be completely stunned to have been caught by a pregnant woman.

And now that they were going to be grandparents, Hange and Levi were elated.

Almost every day, they would visit Lara at the Headquarters to bring her something to eat, especially the chocolates she enjoyed so much, or a healthier meal Levi had prepared.

Even though Lara and Armin said they didn't want Tiny-Human-Bean to be spoiled, for Hange, that information went in one ear and out the other. One Sunday, when they went to have lunch at their daughter's house, Hange arrived with several bags full of baby clothes, towels, blankets, and other baby layette items. Apparently, she had Mikasa's help, as almost all of them were embroidered in the typical style Mikasa used in her craftworks.

Levi was a doting grandfather to the fullest. He would do absolutely everything to make sure Lara didn't have to get up for anything, which would make her a bit indignant.

"Honestly, Dad," she said one day, after being forced to sit down on the couch, "I won't die if I go to the kitchen to get some water!"

"You can bump your belly on the corner of the table!" replied Levi, his arms crossed.

"But the table is literally on the other side of the kitchen!" she retorted, pointing to the object, "I'm gonna pass by very far from it!"

Levi was silent for a while, trying to think of a valid argument.

"Y-You might end up..." he thought a bit more, "tripping over your own feet and falling to your belly! See?! No getting up for you!"

"You didn't treat me like that when I was pregnant with the girls," said Hange, pouting.

Levi looked at her with a bored expression.

"You seem to have forgotten how we didn't let you do anything when you were pregnant with Kuchel, back in Paradis," he replied, then turned back to Lara, "Besides, grandfather is a father twice! So I have to be extra careful!"

From a distance, Armin, Kuchel, and Hannah were laughing at the situation.

During her pregnancy, Lara improved her painting skills a lot, because she would like to make a beautiful decoration in her future baby's room and finally prove herself as a worthy painter.

While Armin and Levi set up the crib and other furniture in the Tiny-Human-Bean's bedroom, Lara painted one wall in a dark brown color, then drew several tall, slim cream-colored trees. She finished by painting little yellow birds landing on the branches and flying from one tree to another.

They bought several stuffed animals, such as elephants, lions, and giraffes, because they would like the baby to feel in nature, like in a wild adventure atmosphere.

With her belly growing every day, when she was at her house, Lara would wear more comfortable clothes, sometimes wearing only her underwear, because her pajamas were making her sweat.

She had the habit of staying like that when spending time in her art studio/library painting some animal frames to hang in the Tiny-Human-Bean's bedroom. Armin was always keeping her company, sitting in his armchair, reading a book, while she painted. However, Lara noticed that, instead of reading, Armin would gaze at her from the armchair, with a twinkle in his eyes, analyzing his half-naked wife from head to toe.

Apparently, pregnancy made Lara become very attractive in Armin's eyes, and she was constantly surprised by him grabbing her from behind, kissing her neck, and I dare say, squeezing her breasts, which grew larger with time due to the milk.

With each passing day, they loved each other more. Armin was extremely affectionate with her, doing everything he could to please his wife and make her feel good and comfortable. He also bought essential oils and, every single night, before bed, he would embrace her from behind on their bed and rub it on her belly, while filling her with soft kisses on her face and whispering in her ear how much he loved her.

They bathed together practically every day in the bathtub, with him gently rubbing her belly with the sponge and massaging her feet, which were quite swollen. After that, they would sleep with Lara being the little spoon, cuddling together, with Armin holding her belly with affection.

Now, speaking of the baby itself, it seemed to suffer from mood swings, poor thing. Sometimes it was extremely restless, not stopping to move for even a second inside its mother's belly, and sometimes it was very quiet, responding only with a few kicks here and there when it felt like it. Lara and Armin came to the conclusion that the baby would be born with a mixture of the personality of them both, and they kept imagining if it would be born blond or dark-haired, because, since Lara had dreamed they would have four children, two blondes and two dark-haired, they bet to know if "Tiny-Human-Bean I" would take after its father or mother in physical appearance.

One Saturday night, when Lara was at the end of her eighth month of pregnancy, Armin was rereading the Pinocchio book in their bed for the fourth time, because he wanted to remember all the story details very well, so he could tell it to his future child.

"I'm telling you, babe..." said Lara from the bathroom, while brushing her teeth before going to sleep, "I feel like I'm about to explode at any moment!"

Armin chuckled, turning a page of the book.

Lara popped out from the bathroom door, leaning against the doorframe. Armin turned to her, inspecting her up and down with great interest.

His wife was wearing a loose-fitting set of clothes, with her big belly poking out of her shirt. Lara pouted.

"God in Heaven..." said Armin, closing the book right away, his eyes gleaming and a smile forming on his lips.

"No way!" Lara clicked her tongue, heading to the bed while stomping her feet, "Don't look at me like that!" She pointed to the book, "I'm literally the size of that whale in Pinocchio's story!"

Laughing, Armin knelt on the bed and slowly pulled her by the arms. Lara sat beside him and he made her lie on her back on the mattress, with her little legs swinging off the bed. Armin lifted her shirt so he could kiss her belly.

"Tiny-Human-Bean..." he said, his lips brushing her belly, "your mother doesn't know what she's talking about. If you could look at her right now, you'd see she's delusional."

Armin gazed at Lara, smiling, and started kissing her neck and face passionately, making her laugh, covering her face with both hands.

"Gah!!!" exclaimed Lara, letting out a long weary sigh, "How could you possibly want me right now, Armin? Look at that!" She pointed to her belly.

Gazing at her from above, with their faces very close together, he whispered with a smile:

"I want you in any state, my love."

Lara was silent for a few seconds as he continued to kiss her, stroking her belly.

"I bet I can change your mind..." she said.

Armin chuckled. Still kissing her, he replied:

"There's nothing you can say that can make me chang--"

"My water just broke."

Armin straightened up, staring at her. Lara blinked quickly at her husband.

"H-H-Huh?!" he stuttered. Lara sat up and they both looked down at the floor.

There was a big puddle of water just below where Lara had left her legs hanging out of the bed.

They both looked at each other. Armin turned completely pale. Then, in a sudden movement, he jumped out of bed and began to hop in place.

"OH MY GOD!" he exclaimed in desperation, pointing to the puddle, "Wh-Wh-Wh-What is that?!"

"It's my water that just broke, babe," replied Lara calmly.

Armin opened his mouth in utter bewilderment.

"I know it's your water!" he exclaimed, practically pulling out his hair. "B-B-But, there are still a few weeks left for the baby to be born!!!" Armin crouched down in front of her belly, positioning his hands in front of it as if he wanted to push the baby back into the womb.

"That's strange, indeed..." Lara wrinkled her nose, massaging her belly.

Armin looked around as if he could miraculously find something that could cover his wife's private parts and prevent Tiny-Human-Bean from getting out. He realized that Lara was just watching him. Armin got up in another jump.

"HOW CAN YOU BE SO CALM?! YOUR WATER JUST BROKE!"

Lara nodded.

"Why all that drama?" she asked, pouting. "I haven't even had my first contrAAAAAAAAAAACTIONNN!!!!!!" Lara suddenly leaned forward, holding her belly, turning very red.

They both stared at each other in astonishment.

"W-Was that a contraction?" asked Armin, almost in a whisper.

Lara nodded again, taking several deep breaths.

Armin's eyes widened, covering his mouth with both hands, looking sideways, thinking fast.

"IMANI!" he exclaimed, while his wife grimaced in pain and started climbing on the bed, going to the side she slept. "WE NEED HER, NOW!!!"

Lara shook her head negatively.

"No time for this!" she replied, taking a deep breath once more.

"What do you mean, 'no time for this'?!?!" retorted Armin, rushing to her, "We need Imani here to make th--"

"AHHHHH!!!!!!" cried out Lara, squeezing her husband so tightly he also cried out along, and they both kept screaming at each other's faces.

Lara was doing breathing exercises, her forehead sweating as she swallowed hard. Armin was hopping in place and his chest was rising and falling fast.

"DO YOU REALLY THINK WE HAVE TIME TO CALL IMANI?!?!?!" Lara glared at him, "GET OUT OF HERE AND BRING ME SOME CLEAN TOWELS AND HOT WATER!"

Armin didn't seem to have heard her, because he was practically crying, not knowing what to do.

Lara had another contraction.

"AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!"

That finally brought Armin back to reality, his eyes wide open.

"ARMIN!!!" exclaimed Lara, now looking furious, "GO GET WHAT I ASKED FOR!!!"

"O-Okay!" he waved his hands, dashing out of the bedroom. Before he was out of sight, he heard his wife call him.

"Hey!" Lara looked at him, panting and sweating, "Also bring scissors sterilized with alcohol."

"FOR WHAT?!" asked Armin in astonishment.

Lara once more glared at him, gritting her teeth and puffing out her chest.

"'FOR WHAT''?! 'FOR WHAT', YOU ASK?!" she retorted, red as a tomato, "FOR ME TO HAVE SOME ICE CREAM, OF COURSE!"

From the doorway, Armin stared at her, quite confused.

Lara rolled her eyes, letting out an exclamation of indignation.

"IT'S TO CUT THE UMBILICAL CORD!!!"

"Wh-Wh-Wh-What do you m-m-mean?!" he stuttered. Armin then pointed to himself, "Y-Y-You want ME to deliver the baby?!"

Lara just glared at him, huffing in anger.

Armin turned paler than he already was and felt his entire body tingle.

"I. WON'T. REPEAT. ANYMORE." said Lara through gritted teeth, turning redder and redder, "GET. OUT. OF. HERE. AND. JUST. COME. BACK. WITH. WHAT. I. ASKED. FOR."

As if he had seen a ghost, Armin nodded and rushed out. As he filled a pot with water and set it on the stove, he heard Lara give another contraction cry, making his heart race faster and faster. Armin went back to the bedroom, eyes on his wife, who was doing more breathing exercises, and grabbed some clean towels, tossing them on the bed. Then he ran to the cupboard where the tools were kept and grabbed a pair of scissors. He sterilized it with alcohol and also left it on the bed. While he waited for the water to heat up, Armin walked over to Lara.

"How are you doing, my love?" he asked, distressed, holding her hand.

Now looking calmer, getting back to her normal color, Lara took several deep breaths.

"I'm okay," she squeezed his hand and then began to laugh, "Honey, we're having a baby! Have you stopped to think about it?!"

Armin also began to laugh, from emotion and from nervousness. He leaned down, holding her face, and gave her a long, soft peck kiss. Armin grabbed a clean towel and started dabbing Lara's forehead, which she thanked.

Then, she held tight to his arm.

"Here comes another one!" exclaimed Lara, pressing her eyes and lips together, and gave another cry of contraction.

Armin wore the same expression of pain, feeling his heart pound in his ears. When the contraction ended, he wiped her forehead sweat again.

Suddenly, Lara's eyes widened and she began to shake him.

"Armin! Armin!" she trembled, "T-Take off my pants, NOW!"

Frightened and confused, he complied. Kneeling between Lara's legs, he took off her pants and underwear.

"AH!!!"

This time, Armin was the one who screamed.

"What is it?!" asked Lara, startled.

Armin stared at her, white as a sheet of paper.

"Th-Th-There's a... head here!"

Lara's eyes widened.

"WHAT?!" she exclaimed. Her heart was racing.

"Th-There's a head here!!!" replied Armin, pointing to her private parts.

Lara covered her mouth with both hands. They stared at each other for a few seconds, stunned. Then, Armin looked down at that little head again and gave a silly smile.

"It's blond..." he turned to Lara, "Darling, our baby is blond! It took after me!"

Despite the intense pain she was feeling, Lara couldn't hold back a smile but grimaced in pain in the next second, as another contraction was coming.

"It's blond..." Armin kept repeating to himself, still smiling in a silly way.

Lara cried out once more, startling Armin out of his reveries.

"Please!" she exclaimed, her chest rising and falling, "Go get the water! The baby will come out at any second now!"

Nodding, but not without taking a last look at the baby's blond hair, Armin hurried to the kitchen. Seconds later, he returned with the pot, placing it on Lara's bedside table.

Armin grabbed a towel and positioned himself between Lara's legs again. He gazed at her.

They were both breathing fast, their chests rising and falling.

Then, they smiled at each other.

"You ready?" asked Armin, nodding.

"Yeah!" replied Lara with determination.

She then pushed, letting out another cry of pain.

With a clean towel on hands, Armin watched his baby slowly come out of its mother's private parts, mouth agape. He was shaking all over. His heart ran widely and he felt it burn, in a mixture of joy, fear, and anxiety.

Gently, he helped the baby come out, until, with a final very loud cry coming from Lara, the Tiny-Human-Bean came out completely, falling straight into its father's hands.

Lara was panting heavily, sweating all over her body, as she watched her husband holding a tiny baby. He quickly cut the umbilical cord.

Armin had tears in his eyes, his mouth slightly opened as he gazed at his baby, who began to cry in a loud high-pitched tone. He lifted his head and gazed at Lara.

"It's a boy..." he said, a smile forming on his lips and a tear running down his cheek, "We have a little boy, my love..."

Lara also let a tear fall from her eyes, returning him a wide smile. She stretched out her arms.

"Let me see him, please," she said, still a little breathless.

Armin cleaned the baby up a bit with the water and towel, wrapping him up as best he could so the baby could be very warm. Then, Armin handed the tiny package into Lara's hands.

She held him in her arms, feeling her heart swell with joy at the sight of that little face. The baby was now crying very softly, pouting.

The little Tiny-Human-Bean was literally Armin in a baby version. He had big eyes and a round nose. An exact copy of his father.

At the same time, Armin and Lara wept softly with emotion and gazed at each other, with big smiles on their faces. They began to laugh.

"He's so tiny..." said Armin, gazing at his son with a sweet look. Lara smiled, running her fingers over the baby's face.

"Well..." she replied, "We both are a little short compared to other people... Besides, he was born a little before the proper time, wasn't you, young man?" Lara poked her son lightly on the nose, who made a face. His parents chuckled.

Lara gazed deeply at Armin. They did that for a few seconds, with a silly, passionate smile. Armin then held her face and pressed his lips against hers in a long, intense peck kiss.

"I love you more than anything…" he said, gazing into those big blue eyes that bring him so much peace.

Lara smiled.

"I love you to--AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!"

Lara screamed so loudly, she startled the baby. Armin was even more startled.

"What's wrong?!" he asked, straightening up in a jump beside her, "A-Are you okay?!?!"

Lara's chest was rising and falling very fast, and she got an expression of pure shock. Slowly, Lara turned her face and stared at her husband.

"Armin..." she said, almost in a whisper, "There's more..."

He blinked several times, trying to make sense of that information.

"C-C-Come again?" he asked, leaning towards her, "There's more of what?!"

Lara just gave him a meaningful look. Armin swallowed hard, once more turning completely pale. In a jump, he dashed to stay between her legs again.

"OH MY GOD!" he exclaimed, covering his mouth. Then, he looked up at Lara, "THERE'S ANOTHER HEAD COMING OUT OF YOU!"

"TWINS?!" she exclaimed, getting ready for another contraction, while looking down at her first baby in her arms, "SO THAT'S WHY MY WATER BROKE EARLI--AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!"

The second baby started to come out so fast, Armin only had time to grab another clean towel and place it under its tiny body, which was quickly coming out of its mother.

"IT'S BLOND TOO!!! exclaimed Armin, with a big smile.

Lara tried to smile back, but she was in so much pain, she couldn't make it.

"Push, my love!" said Armin through gritted teeth, "Just a bit more!"

Lara let out a final cry and then, the baby slipped out, straight into its father's arms. She was panting again, feeling her limbs slowly relax.

The baby also cried in a high-pitched tone, but lower than its brother.

"I-I think it's finally over now..." said Lara, her voice choking with tiredness.

Just to make sure, Armin checked his wife's private parts and agreed that it was just the two babies.

With more tears coming out of his eyes, he began to laugh with joy, bouncing his shoulders in a mixture of crying and laughing.

"I-It's another boy!" he said, gazing at Lara, who finally managed to return the smile, while cuddling her first son in her chest, because the poor thing was quite restless with all that noise.

Armin cut the umbilical cord and cleaned the second baby, also wrapping him in a tiny package. He went to Lara and handed him to his wife, with her now holding her two children in her arms. Lara felt her jaw trembling and more tears running down her face. She felt a towel on her forehead and saw that it was Armin wiping her sweat off as he gave her a sweet smile.

They analyzed the second baby.

As Armin told us, their second child was also blond, but his face was identical to Lara's, with a pointier nose and a rounder chin. She began to chuckle, while also crying.

"Didn't I tell you, babe?!" she turned to gaze at Armin, with a big smile on her face, "In my dream, I saw two blonde heads! Here they are! The mood swings are now explained!"

Armin chuckled. Then, he stroked Lara's hair.

"What do you wanna call them?" he asked, giving her a tender kiss on the forehead.

Lara sighed and smiled.

"You, the restless one..." she placed her index finger at the tip of the nose of her first son, "I'll name you Erwin." Lara turned to her second son, "And you, the quiet one, I'll name you Moblit." She looked up at Armin, smiling, who nodded.

"That's a beautiful tribute, my love," he replied, giving her a long peck kiss.

Tears of pure joy streamed down Armin's eyes. He felt like his heart would explode, such happiness got into his chest.

He gazed at Lara and their two babies, feeling a big lump in his throat.

He looked up at the ceiling and whispered a "Thank You…" and looked back at his wife and children.

Armin married the woman he had always loved, and now he was starting a family with her.

He was someone who had a death sentence decreed, but where is it now?

Death no longer exists, only life.

In this case, two new lives.

It is common to say that when two people's love is so strong, it becomes another human being, a baby, right?

Apparently, it was no different for Lara and Armin.

However, they didn't have just one baby at once. Therefore, we can only come to one conclusion:

Their love was much bigger than we thought.
