Chapter 38: Eren's Final Words

This chapter is brought to you by someone asking if Y/n knows she's pregnantπŸ˜…πŸ˜­ boys, gals and nonbinary pals we forgot that one


September 28th
(We're gonna say Y/n is 3 months now cuz I said so)


Reiner's POV


The doctor had been coming in daily and Y/n has been improving she can move around a lot more although she's still kind of constricted but she can be up for hours at a time now... wait does Y/n know she's pregnant?!


"Hey Y/n" I say


"Hey Reiner" She says


"Um you know how you've been sick these past couple of months?" I ask


"Yes?" She asks confused on where this is going


"It's because you're pregnant" I say


"I know I'm pregnant idiot" She says laughing


"Well I didn't know, you've been sleeping so I wasn't sure" I say


"Listen, I've known I was pregnant since it started. I'm not sure if its because I've already been pregnant and I can just feel it or if it's because I still have my regenerative powers and can't get sick" She says. I felt like I had just been hit over the head with that knowledge


"R-right.." I mutter


"Thank you for being concerned though" She says laughing. I blush in embarrassment


~Time Skip~


Y/n's POV


I was doing Marco's laundry when my head began pounding
(I'm adding in that thing from chapter 139 so like yeah. Also its happening to everyone else now as well too)


I closed my eyes


~Flash back~


"Y/n" Eren says


"Eren" I say


"I'm sorry" He mutters


"You're sorry? That's all you can say? You committed mass murder and all you can say is sorry?" I ask


"I didn't want to... I had to" He says as he brings his knees up to his chest


"Why?" I ask


"It was the only way... I killed mom... I had to or else Armin would've died later on..." He says as he begins tearing up


"So tell me, am I going to die too?" I ask him


"I-.... I don't know... but I will..." He says. Both of us have tears streaming down our faces


"This will probably be the last time we see eachother alive like this... I really hope you, Mikasa, Armin and the others can forgive me someday..." He says


"You can stop, we can fix this" I say as my voice cracks


"No... I need to paint Armin as a hero... I'm doing this for them.." He says. I nod sadly


"You know you're giving me subtle hints I won't live" I say laughing. He doesn't respond which confirms my suspicion


"You do know... I'm going to die aren't I? I'm going to die alongside you huh? How ironic" I say with a sad smile as I sit down next to Eren. Tears continued to fall down my face


I'm gonna die


"I don't want to die... Sometimes wish I'd never been born at all" We both say as we begin sobbing. We embrace eachother knowing it's going to be the last time. We grip onto eachother tightly as we sob


"I'm so sorry" He cries out


"You should be you idiot" I cry back. He then sniffles as he tries to calm himself


"Please get Jean to care of Mikasa for me.." He says weakly


"Yeah, I'll definitely do that as I'm dead" I laugh as we break apart


"Y/n, this is it. The next time we see eachother, we'll be on opposite side fighting eachother... I know we fought a lot growing up but I really love you.." He says as sadly smiles


"I love you too Eren... I'll see you on the other side" I say


~Flashback End~


Marco's POV


~Flashback~


"Uncle Eren? Why are we here?" I ask as I look at Zoe


"I had to say goodbye before I lost the chance" He says


"Why? You don't have to say goodbye. We can make up and then you'll stay" Zoe says smiling


"I'm afraid it doesn't work like that" Eren says


"Sure it does, me and Zoe fight all the time but then we make up and it's okay" I say


"I've done many bad things and I will continue to. I've hurt your mother.. I've killed countless people... I can't be forgiven.. but I wanted to say goodbye before all that" He says


"Why did you do it then?" Zoe asks. Eren stops and thinks on how to answer


"Because I wanted too... I'm the bad guy" He says with a smile


"Well I don't like bad guys!" I yell. He laughs as a smile appears on his face


"Me neither" He says. We look at him confused


"Well I believe I've done what I wanted.. This will be the last time we meet.. goodbye you two" Eren says


~Flashback End~


Y/n's POV


I came to and realized I was on the ground sobbing.


Eren.... even then he still lied to me


I laugh at my own thought. I hear the door open and I look up to see Reiner staring at me worriedly


"Did you-" Reiner began


"Yeah" I say


"The twins got one too" He says as he walks over and helps me up


"Eren is such an idiot" I say as I wipe my tears. We walk to the living room and a smile appears on my face as I see the twins


Why am I so sad about this?


"Uncle Eren is a meanie" Zoe says


It must be the pregnancy


"Yes he sure is" I say as I hold back my tears with a smile. Reiner noticed what was going on.


"Hey you two, why not go finish the laundry in your room?" Reiner asks. They groan


"Fine" They both say as they head to their room. Reiner grabs my hand and leads me to our shared room. He closes the door behind him once we enter.


"Y/n... if you want to talk about i-" He begins


"I'm fine" I say


"Y/n, I'm not stupid" He says


"That's debatable" I say laughing trying to get out of this conversation. Reiner grabs my shoulder


"I'm serious... I don't know what you and Eren talked about and you don't have to tell me, but you can't hold this all in... You're not only gonna hurt yourself, you'll hurt the baby too" He says as he puts his other hand on my stomach. Tears streamed down my face once more as I gripped onto his shirt. Reiner embraced me as he rubbed my back for comfort. I sobbed into his chest


"Let it all out, I'm here for you" He says sweetly as I continued to cry


"Why did it have to be like that?!" I cried


"Fate... is a cruel thing sometimes" He says
