And here I go continuing the crazy lebabyhan thing because I'm tired of crying while seeing and reading Levihan angst, mourning or sad material, and everything else that leads my eyes to tear up a bit lmao
In the last trimester, Levi and Hanji adore sleeping facing each other;Β
Hans because she loves to stare at Levi's relaxed and sleepy face first thing in the morning while she feels her heavy bump safely tucked between their bodies; it's so peaceful, so calming; it'sΒ like floating in a fluffy cloud in their little Heaven;
Levi because he loves to press his head in the crook of Hanji's neck, smell it, and feel her chest moving relaxed and steady while the world keeps waking up a lot less shitty as he feels the tiny force of the pushes and kicks his bare abs receive first thing in the morning;
Hans doesn't get used to dresses; she makes her own clothes the way she finds it comfortable;
Inspired by her sleep robes, she sews wrap shirts to wear with pants; and inspired by Levi's aprons, and Gabi's overall during last year's Air Parades, Hans invents the overall jumper and jumpsuits;
When she is working, going shopping or visiting the cities around with Levi or Gabi and Falco's family, her preference is for the later outfit because the thickness of the shoulder straps as well as the waistband set below her big tummy help her not feel like the heaviness of belly is going to wreck her back or look like it's going fall on the floor at any minute;
Her clothes have a lot of pockets; pockets are life!;
they are always filled with sweets or snack, pens, scraps of paper, a tiny shovel, and random pieces of plants and things Hans find interesting during the walks in the forest near their house;
In the gardening days, Hanji always set up close to her side the butterfly puddler Moblit and Nifa made and gave over a decade now;
Levi secretly loves that Hans still gives him surprise hugs from behind;
and also that her hugs earn him some tiny pushes in the back too;
As the time nears, though, he redoubles his care over Hans, and is at her side whenever a little sigh she lets out doesn't sound okay enough for his taste;
To help ease his mind and hers, Hans proposes they do a few labor-to-birth simulations;
Half of the things go wrong during the first time, though, because Hans laughs more than she should contrary to Levi's intense concentration;Β
while she is doing the breathing-panting techniques from the books, she also craves the fried banana they were going to use to simulate as the body fluids;
when her craving wins, and she eats the fake poop, Levi walks out the room and spends the rest of the day without sparing her glance in the eye;
The next time they do the training, Levi uses an old brown sock stuffed with a cucumber as the fake shit believing she won't want to eat it;
still, they don't get to complete all the train;Β
Hanji ends up craving not only the vegetable, but also the aromatic lavender wax candles, and the smell of it plastered on Levi's body makes her crazy;
except for the candles, Hans manages to get herself the irresistible feast, then;Β
and they both spend the rest of the day in bed, either napping or simply staring at, smiling at, holding onto and kissing each other;
After Levi spends some time away doing their tea leaves business, Hans's heart just can't resist when their baby acknowledges his silent proximity; it's like they can sense his mere arrival at the same room!;Β
Her guts get wildly flipped out, though; what requires Levi's magical soothing hand abilities to help her cope;
Sometimes Hanji's excitement feelsΒ almost like a personal threat to Levi's peace of mind during the annual Air Parade to celebrate Humanity's Survival;
He didn't know what worried him the most: being in a shitty airplane with Hans heavily pregnant and excited like she couldn't keep attached to the ground, or being in a shitty airplane with Hans heavily pregnant, excited like she couldn't keep attached to the ground, AND going as Onyankopon's fucking co-pilot!!!;
Onyankopon acts pretty calm, though; he even discretely winks at Levi just before offering a hand to Hans to help her climb the stairs to enter the plane;Β
Fucking fine, then; after all, Onyankopon is a man made with the same good material Moblit was; so Levi trusted him enough to know they all would land back safely;
In the end, the flight is not half bad indeed;
and Hanji's whole being looks so full of happiness, and her smile is so infinite and contagious that Levi definitely doesn't regret they both did manage to get on the airplane today, and more importantly - 04 four years ago;
When they cuddle in bed that night, at the city inn the remaining allies annually celebrate Humanity's survival, Hanji says that to Levi too.
