Third Person POV

Levi Ackerman used to have a very happy life. He had a beautiful wife named (f/n) and a son named (son's name). (Son's name) was only a few months old when it happened.

What happened?

You might be asking. Why don't I tell you...

Flashback

It was thought of as a "perfect" day. But that didn't last long. A few days before it happened, Levi was dropping (f/n) off at the airport. She was going to visit her younger brother, Eren, for a few days.

"Bye (son's name)!" She hugged him, kissing his cheek. (F/n) handed him back over to Levi and he set him in his car seat in the back of his car.

(F/n) wrapped Levi in a tight embrace, not wanting to let go but she knew she would have to eventually.

Before they let go of each other, Levi pressed his lips against her's. When they parted she looked at the time, noticing that she needed to go now.

"Bye Levi, I love you." She smiled, grabbing her purse and suitcase. "I love you too. Call me when you land."

"I will." She replied.

Levi watched her go inside, she turned around and waved one last time and he waved as well.

After she went through the doors, Levi got back in his car. Turning around in his seat to check on (son's name), since he heard him start to cry.

"Shh, it's okay buddy. Mommy will be back in two days." Levi hushed his son, reaching his arm back as (son's name) grabbed on to it.

This was (f/n)'s first time leaving Levi alone with (son's name), and like every other mother, she was a bit nervous.

But she knew he would handle, somehow.

(Son's name) calmed down a little so Levi started his car and drove back to their house.

When he pulled up in the driveway, Levi saw a perfume bottle in the passenger seat. "Tch. (F/n) forgot her perfume." He mumbled, picking it up and getting out to grab (son's name).

Time Skip

About three and a half hours had passed and Levi heard his phone go off. Getting up off the floor from playing with (son's name), he went over to the kitchen counter and grabbed his phone.

Looking at the caller ID, it was (f/n). A smile reached his lips as he pressed the "answer" button.

"Hello?"

"Hey, Levi! I just wanted to let you know that I'm here in Shiganshina now. Eren's about to pick me up so we can go to lunch."

"Alright, tell Eren I say hi."

"I will. Oh, how's (son's name)?"

"He's fine. He was a little upset on the way home since you weren't there. We were just playing in the living room, a minute ago." Levi looked back and smiled when he saw (son's name) hugging a stuffed horse puppet named Jean.

"Oh good!...Well it looks like he's here, I'll talk to you tonight, okay? I love you."

"I love you more."

"I love you most."

After the phone call ended, Levi went back into the living room and sat down next to (son's name).

Picking up Jean and slipping his hand inside, (Jesus that sounded wrong)

Levi used a "horse-like" voice and started playing with (son's name), again.

"Do you love me, (son's nickname)?" Levi asked, still in character, while he tickled his son with the puppet. A giggle was heard from the young baby, making a small smile cross Levi's face.

Levi continued to make him laugh, making Levi's smile widen. Listening to his son's high pitched giggling, caused Levi to laugh as well.

The both of them soon calmed down, both of them grinning.

Time Skip

Levi set (son's name) down for a nap and went back downstairs, putting the baby monitor on the kitchen table.

Since he was bored and had nothing to do now that (son's name) was asleep, Levi invited two of his good friends, Erwin and Hanji, over for dinner. Erwin and Hanji were also (son's name)'s God parents.

When they arrived, they all sat down in the living room to catch up.

"Have you two thought of a date for your wedding?" Levi asked, bringing them some tea.

"Yes, actually," Hanji grinned.

"We were thinking of April 15th." Erwin finished.

"Nice. So only nine months away." Levi replied, sitting down across from them.

The sound of (son's name)'s crying was heard from the baby monitor, so Levi headed upstairs.

He took him out of his crib and brought him downstairs to see Erwin and Hanji.

Hanji held him and Levi figured he was hungry, so Hanji offered to feed him. After handing Hanji a bottle of milk, Erwin spoke up.

"Have you and (f/n) debated who (son's name) looks more like?" He chuckled.

"We haven't, actually." Levi answered, looking over at (s/n). (Too lazy to put the whole thing now)

"Well, let's see...he definitely has (f/n)'s nose..." Erwin observed.

"But he has Levi's facial structure." Hanji pointed out.

"True. And also Levi's hair."

"(S/n) has her (e/c) eyes and my lips, so I have no f-...fluffing clue who he looks more like." Levi almost cursed.

"Yeah, you'll probably be able to tell once he's older." Hanji said, setting the bottle down when he finished.

*That night*

Levi's phone rang, so he went to answer it.

"Hey, (f/n)." Levi greeted.

"Hi Levi." (F/n) replied.

"Have a good day with Eren?"

"Yeah, Armin stopped by so I got to see him too."

After talking for around a half hour, they decided it was getting late and ended the call.

*Two days later*

It was seven in the morning and Levi got off the phone again with (f/n). The last thing he said to her was,

"I love you, call me when you land."

She was at the airport, waiting to board the plane when they last spoke. Soon enough it was time to get on.

It was a little later in the morning now, and (s/n) woke up.

Levi changed his diaper, brought him downstairs and fed him.

After that, Levi took him to the living room and they played a bit, waiting for (f/n)'s arrival so they could pick her up.

It was now almost eleven in the morning, and Levi was confused. Her flight was only around three hours and she said it was taking off at seven thirty.

Maybe it got a bit delayed?

He went on the Internet and searched for her flight, seeing that it said "flight not available".

"What the hell?" He muttered.

Shutting off his phone, he turned on the television. Which just so happened to be on the news.

Glancing over at (s/n), Levi saw him playing on the floor in front of him.

Levi returned his attention to the TV and listened to what the news had to say.

He heard a news reporter start talking about a plane crash.

Levi's heart started to race, thinking of all the worse things possible.

That's not her flight, her plane should be at Sina airport already.

It felt as if his heart had stopped when he heard the flight number...it was (f/n)'s.

"Police have already investigated and have discovered that the plane was hijacked by three young adults. Two males and one female. Under the names of, Bertholdt Hoover, Reiner Braun and Annie Leonhart. The trio was obviously killed, along with all the others aboard this flight."

Levi's vision started to blur as he reached for his phone, dialing (f/n)'s number just in case it wasn't her flight.

A beep was heard from his phone, he looked and it read "no connection".

"Shit..." He quietly cursed, standing up and calling Eren, breaking down over the phone.

Flashback End

That brings us here to today, it's been seven years now since (f/n) passed and Levi was still miserable.

(S/n) knew what happened to his mother, and could somewhat remember her. Even though he was only a few months old when she died.

They didn't get to have a proper funeral since her body couldn't be retrieved, considering it burned when it crashed.

Right now, Levi and (s/n) were out walking around Sina.

"Hey dad, can we get some ice cream?" (S/n) asked, skipping ahead of Levi.

"Sure." Levi responded, holding (s/n)'s hand, heading to the closest Baskin Robbins.

On their way out, (s/n)'s eyebrows furrowed. Something in the air made his eyes widen.

"...M-mom...?" He whispered, turning his head to the side.

"What did you say?" Levi asked, looking down at him.

He didn't reply, but started running down the sidewalk.

"(S/n)!" Levi shouted, running after him.

(S/n) turned a corner but immediately stopped.

"(S-s/n), you can't just run away like tha-" Levi scolded, but paused in mid-sentence.

Standing before them was a woman with (h/l) (h/c) hair and sad (e/c) eyes with a small smile on her face.

But she was gone in the blink of an eye.

"Mommy..." (S/n) whispered to himself.

"(S/n)...how...what...?"

"I could smell her perfume." He bluntly replied.

"What do you mean?" Levi asked.

"I remember she would always wear a (favorite scent(s)) perfume...and I smelled it from back there."

"How do you remember what she smelled like?" Levi was shocked.

"I don't know..."

Levi grabbed a small bottle from his pocket, he put some of (f/n)'s perfume in that bottle as it was the only thing he had left of her.

The same perfume she left that day.

"But she was beautiful..." (S/n) mumbled.
