Chapter 36: Brats
"For fuck's sake, Dabi! SLOW DOWN!" Izuku screamed in the back seat trying to keep Himiko calm.
Her contractions were coming four minutes apart and Dabi was freaking out on them. Tomura and Kurogiri were at his hero agency doing some side work Sara had asked them to do and they were too scared to refuse her. Sako was in the front seat holding onto his seat for his fucking life while they were going fifty around corners.
Izuku was silently praying for a cop because he really thought they were all going to die. Shouto and Ochako were working so neither one of them could give them a ride. Spinner was sick at Ochako's apartment so no one went near him for the fear of getting sick. Jin was was on his wife's other side, screaming for Dabi to drive faster.
They managed to make it to the hospital after Dabi did an accidental donut in the parking lot. They all stumbled getting out. Himiko could barely walk but that was fine. Izuku and Jin picked her up and got her inside with nurses yelling at them about not carrying a pregnant woman that way.
Dabi started calling everyone to let them know the situation. They had all made it in one piece but Izuku was still yelling at him.
"Dabi!" Jin called down the hallway.
"What?" he asked hanging up on Shouto rudely.
"Himiko wants you in here!"
Dabi threw his phone at Izuku who barely caught it.
He entered the hospital room and it was smelled like antiseptic and bleach. Himiko had let her hair grow out so long in the last few months and now it was plastered against her sweaty face. Her face was pink and she was breathing really heavy. She managed a grin when he walked into the room.
"Is everything ok?" Dabi asked sitting beside of her.
"I want you to be here."
"What? Why?"
"Don't you remember silly?" she breathed out, "We watched a show about babies and you wanted to be there to see one be born. I promised you that you could watch when the time came for me."
"Shit, I forgot about that."
She grinned, "It's almost time. I'm at a nine now."
"You didn't get any meds?!"
"No, no time though.... Can you hold my hand?"
Jin dabbed a wet cloth against her forehead and she closed her eyes. She was still breathing the best she could but it wasn't helping through the pain. She screamed when one contraction broke her calm demeanor. Jin ran to the door, throwing it open yelling for the nurses.
"I need to pUSH!" she screamed, almost breaking Dabi's poor hand in the process.
"Don't push!" the nurse yelled.
"I CAN'T STOP!"
All the nurses were panicking. The doctor was barely entering the building.
"IT HURTS! SOMEONE HELP!" Himiko screamed.
She was in pain but she was pissed. None of them had it together. Dabi didn't blame her, he was pissed too and Jin was between her legs ready to catch the baby like a football if apparently came out flying. Izuku had went through all the hospitals and that was apparently the best one or so they had said.
Himiko grabbed the bed rails and screamed again. The metal door flew open and Izuku came running in with Tomura behind him. Only an hour had passed since they got there but she was beginning to feel like she was in labor an eternity. Tomura's poor face paled seeing the distressed look on his friend's face. Dabi was nearly in tears since his hand was getting close to being broken.
"IT BURNS! OH MY GOD!"
"I thought first labors were long!" Dabi yelled feeling worried.
"Apparently her uterus has great muscles," Izuku said opening the door, "CAN WE GET SOMEONE IN HERE!"
This was an absolute mess. All of them knew nothing about childbirth and poor Himiko had four men in her room acting like idiots. Tomura, the once fearless leader of the League of Villains was close to passing out and Dabi was going to walk out with a broken hand at this rate. Izuku was super pissed because she was like his little sister and he wanted her to have the best care he could get her.
The hero washed his hands as well as he could and dried them off. He managed to slip on gloves and turn to Himiko.
"The baby!" Himiko cried out.
"I have her Himiko! PUSH!"
Himiko let out a scream and pushed as hard as she could. Luckily for her, it only took a few pushes more the baby's head came.
OH MY GOD OH MY GOD
The shoulders came out next. He placed his hands under the baby. He was screaming inside his head but he had to stay calm.
"Almost there! One more push!"
The baby slid right out with a gush of bodily fluids. Izuku held the blood covered baby while Jin grabbed towels to wipe the baby off. She started to cry immediately and Tomura had passed out on the floor. What a fucking day. The doctor came flying in last minute to see the hero named Deku holding the newborn girl and his passed out fiance.
"Having trouble boys?" he asked with a guilty grin.
Izuku glared at him the most murderous look he could give. He was not thrilled.
"Izuki!" Himiko cried holding out her hands.
Despite the shock her body went through, she was alert and ready for her baby. She only had a few minutes when the nurses came in with everything and started cleaning the baby off right. Izuku took the doctor into the hallway and yelled something about suing him if anything was wrong with his niece.
Dabi managed to pull his woozy ex boss up into the chair. He had sickly green color to his face but he looked like he would be fine. Once the atmosphere calmed down, he was roaring with laughter. Tomura got up and took a look at the baby in Himiko's arms. She had wild blonde hair and gray like eyes.
His eyes watered a little bit seeing her. Himiko reached out touched his arm gently.
"Uncle Tomura. Wanna hold her?"
He nodded softly and she handed her daughter over to him.
"Wow.... she looks so much like you," he said brushing the soft blonde hair.
"You ok?"
He nodded softly. Himiko leaned back against the pillows and drifted off some.

Jin stayed behind with his wife, while the other three left.
What a fucking mess it was but the baby was so sweet.
"Where's the baby?!"
"Ochako!" Izuku called out waving to her.
"Deku!" she cried running towards him then she stopped.
"What?"
"What happened to your clothes? Why are you covered in.... blood and stuff?"
"Uncle Deku had to deliver the baby."
"Shut the fuck up!" she said then started laughing, "I can't believe you!"
"Well, it looked rather painful but I was just glad Izuki was ok...."
"I'm going to see the baby!" she said with a grin.
"Where's your daddy?" Dabi said looking at Shigaraki.
"Himiko didn't pack a bag yet and he went to do it for her. I already texted him to get you some clothes."
"Thanks."

It was around eight at night. They all crowded into the room together to see the baby. She smiled happily at her friends. They had been through a ton of shit in the last few years but this topped it all. Thanks to Izuku Midoriya. She reached out to him and squeezed his hand.
"Thanks, Izuku."
"You're welcome Himiko."
She closed her eyes and smiled.
"I'm sorry everyone, I'm really tired."
"We can let you sleep then," Kurogiri said, stroking her blonde hair.
She nodded slowly and drifted off to sleep once again.
Izuku and Tomura headed outside for the car Kurogiri was nice enough to bring. He was going to stay behind for the night and let the new parents rest up. The couple was really quiet when they got into the car. Izuku stopped by the gas station to grab them something quick to eat before they headed home.
Once he was back into the car, he handed his fiance a bottle of tea and couple of the burritos he liked so much from there.
"Sorry for passing out."
Izuku chuckled, "If I hadn't had the training I did, I would've passed out too."
The ex villain rolled his eyes.
"Let's go tomorrow."
Izuku arched an eyebrow.
"Huh?"
"Well, Dabi is moved in Ochako already and Sako has his own place. Kurogiri could help out. Let's adopt like you wanted too."
"Are you serious? You told me no-
"I changed my mind after seeing Izuki. The way Jin and Himiko looked at her.... I want that with you too."
"I'll call in the morning."
Tomura nodded.

Adopting a child wasn't as easy as Tomura had thought. It took them a month and a half to finish all the paperwork before they were even allowed to go to the orphanage. Izuku had to sweet talk his fiance into to adopting up to four kids if they wanted and he agreed like a lunatic.
Tomura drove all the way there in silence. Both of them were nervous. Even after four months, there was still the stigma around their relationship with Tomura being an ex villain and all. The hero wondered if the kids would be too afraid to talk to Tomura if they found out who he was.
He parked and they sat there together thinking. Neither one of them wanted to say anything. They were both nervous but it had been Shigaraki's idea after all. Izuku hadn't told anyone just in case they were rejected. The orphanage was actually pretty excited that the hero Deku wanted children.
The two of the got out and headed for the giant double doors. They were buzzed in immediately and they walked through. There was a bunch of toddlers screaming in the hallway but they all fell silent as their eyes landed on Izuku and Tomura. A few of them laughed and ran for Tomura, pulling on his pant legs while his eyes started to twitch.
At first it was rather shocking but then Izuku started snickering. Kurogiri had warned him he was a children magnet even though it irritated him. A few women came out apologizing to them but Izuku smiled happily. Another woman came out of the office with a big smile on her face.
"Welcome Mr. Midoriya and Mr. Shigaraki! Welcome to our orphanage! I have no problem with you going around and talking to the children!"
"I'm going to go sit down once I get out of these.... kids."
Izuku grinned and nodded.
"Ok, see you soon."
Tomura stood there while three children managed to climb up his legs and latching onto his shirt. He tried handing off the kids to the ladies but other kids kept climbing up. Another woman came flying down the hallway with four boxes of cookies and started shaking the boxes. They all stopped and looked at her before screaming like wild animals.
Thank god.
"Sorry about that!"
"It's fine."
Shigaraki sat down in the office and started scrolling through pages on his phone about kids. He had been up half of the night and he hadn't realized they needed a shit ton of stuff but then again it was a given. He was a kid once and All for One practically gave him whatever he wanted. The man might've been evil as fuck but he was a good dad now that he had thought about it.
He talked to him everyday. He had dinner with him and Kurogiri. Kurogiri was like another dad and at one point he had thought Kurogiri was married to All for One because the three of them were so close. Hell, All for One even played card games and board games with him. He was a horrible villain but he was there. That's why Shigaraki had trusted him so well.
Still fucked up.
"Hey."
Tomura jumped.
"What's wrong? You didn't adopt all of them did you?" Tomura said with horror.
"No.... There's a little girl in room five. She's hiding under the table but she won't come talk to me."
"Then move on."
Izuku made a face.
"Let me go talk to her," he said sighing.
Tomura got up and walked down the hallway to room five. He spotted a giant table and walked for it. He sat down and lifted the table cloth. He saw to eyes staring at him but he couldn't tell what color they were. They looked black to him and the girl looked no more than six years old.
"What's your problem?" he snapped.
"What? Who are you?" she squeaked out, cowering in fear.
"Deku was trying to talk to you."
"I know but... he's such a great hero and I'm.... um...."
"You're what?"
"I'm quirkless. A hero wouldn't want me as his kid."
"Can you read at all? Or do you even watch TV?" Tomura asked his voice sounding a tad softer.
"I watch him rescue people."
"Then you should know he was quirkless for a long time. I was for a short while too. He wouldn't be ashamed of you."
"He.... he was quirkless?"
"Of course."
She hummed for a second.
"Are you the boy he loves? The villain?"
"Yea I am."
"That's so cool!"
He snorted.
"I guess."
"One day I want to be a great hero and help everyone. I want to do that like he does."
Shigaraki sighed and held out his hand, "I think he can help you if you really want that."
"What's your quirk?" she asked.
"I can decay stuff."
"That sounds so cool!"
"Um, thanks. What's your name?"
"Melody."
"Tomura."
"I like that name. What's your last name?"
"Shigaraki. Though I had another name."
"You did?"
"Yea."
"Why'd you change it?"
"When I was picked up by my villain father, he changed my name. I liked my new name because I am no longer that other person. I am Tomura instead."
She hummed.
"You can change your name to whatever you want."
"I-I can?"
"Yea, if you want."
"Star. I want to be called Star."
"Why's that?"
"Because.... it's the hero name I picked for myself. I can shine bright like a star to bring hope to others like Deku does."
"I know another hero that goes by his first name so you should be ok."
"Star Shigaraki. I like that name."
"Oh yea?"
"Yes."
"Come on out then so you can meet your hero dad."
Tomura backed away as she crawled out. His jaw almost hit the floor once his red eyes landed on her. Her hair was a pastel green color and her eyes were a ridiculously dark red color. She looked like she was cross between them if they had a kid. She was cute and she had pale skin like him but big eyes like Izuku. It was like he was staring at his own child.
"Oh! You came out!"
Tomura turned to see Izuku standing there.
"Um, yea. This is Star Shigaraki. She's the next big time hero," Tomura said, swallowing hard.
Izuku smiled at him.
"Oh, is she?"
"Yea. She's pretty powerful for no quirk. She wants to shine bright to give others hope."
"Well, Star. Nice to meet you. I'm Deku. I look forward to saving people with you."
She gave Tomura a big hug, hooking her arms around his neck. He held her up then passed her over to Deku.
"I'm going to walk around."
Tomura left the two of them alone and headed upstairs. Apparently the older kids were upstairs and he was just going to wander around. He passed by the playrooms seeing all the kids playing and hanging out together then he came across another room. It was really quiet and it was a boy about ten years old holding a baby.
"Aren't you a little young to have brats?"
The boy looked up from the baby. He had dark brown hair and light brown eyes. He had a few freckles but they weren't too visible unless you looked closely enough.
"She's my sister."
"Oh."
Tomura saw him raise an arm to brush his hair off his face. He had on fingerless gloves.
"Your quirk is touch based?"
"Yea. I see yours is too."
"Yup."
"Ice."
"Decay."
"The girl?"
"Quirks don't come until five years old."
"If she's your sister she has a chance to have the same as you."
"I saved her when our apartment building almost burnt down so she isn't really my sister."
"God you sound like Izuku. Let's go."
"Go where?"
"Downstairs. Tomura."
"Robin. My mom was American. This is Hana."
Tomura's heart stopped.
"What?"
"My name is Robin. This is Hana."
"Can I hold her?" he asked quietly.
Robin nodded and handed her over.
"Are you ok?"
"I um... my sister's name was Hana."
"Oh, that's cool."
The boy looked like he understood why Tomura looked so emotional so he didn't ask anything. Tomura sat in the other chair to look at the little girl some more. She had gorgeous black hair that had a blue shine to it and bright pink eyes. She was cute as can be. She looked about four months old.
"I'm glad you want her."
"What the fuck does that mean?" Tomura asked looking at the boy.
"She needs a family. She lost hers too young."
"You're going too dumbass."
"There you are!"
Izuku stood in the doorway with Star on his shoulders.
"Dad Tomura! Let's go!"
"These two are coming with us."
"Oh, really?"
"This is Robin and this is um... Hana."
Izuku's face softened at the girl's name. The boy waved showing he had fingerless gloves on.
"Oh! You have a quirk like Tomura!"
"It's ice though."
"That's neat! Maybe Shouto can help you out with it! His ice side is his favorite after all!"
"You mean the hero?"
"This is Deku! And I'm going to be Star!"
Robin smiled.
"Alright."
Robin held out his arms and Tomura handed him the baby back.
It took about four hours to fill everything out. Robin kept his first name and so did Hana. Melody changed hers to Star and they all took Tomura's last name since Izuku was going to take his last name when they got married.
"Here you go!" Ochako said with a smile.
Izuku had texted her to get a car seat and a booster seat for girls. She placed them in the office where the couple was sitting with the three kids.
"It's Uravity!" Star screamed.
Ochako grinned.
"They're so cute!" Ochako cried, "What's your names?!"
"I'm Star!"
"Robin and this is my sister Hana."
"Awww! Deku, Star looks like you two!"
Star looked at the two men.
"I do!"
Ochako ended up ordering three hundred happy meals for all the kids at the orphanage and even the teenagers didn't mind them. She went to tell the kids stories of the adventures she had with her friends in high school while Tomura stood on the side with Hana in his arms.
He let Izuku drive home as he stared out the window with three sleeping kids in the backseat. He could see the hero's reflection in the window as they drive home to meet Kurogiri who had went out shopping, buying all the things they needed. Robin was more of gamer and liked comic while Star liked heroes and ponies. Of course Hana had baby stuff. Apparently Dabi went over to help him assemble the furniture he had bought and Inko was at their house making a big dinner for everyone.
A long time ago, he wanted help from someone- anyone. Maybe it was a hell of a lot later than he needed it to be but help came in funny ways. Just like a cute green haired hero dumping a cake on you and you threatened to decay people for a whole cake to yourself. Help came in the form of an evil man who gave him everything he ever needed but being evil. Help came in the form of letting go of the past and accepting who you were.
Help was came from all the heroes who trusted him when he did everything horribly imaginable under the sun and gave them every reason not too. It just took one freckled hero who was daring, sweet, brave, stupid and trusting to break down everything he ever knew. This was his world now. He almost didn't deserve it but he fucking wanted it.
The two of them woke up the kids and led them into the house. They were greeted by Himiko, Jin and Izuki. By Kurogiri and Inko. Ochako, Shouto, Nemuri, Dabi and even Endeavor. All Might was there with Bakugou too oddly enough. Sako, Iguchi, Sara and Alice. Tomura had a smile on his face.
This was his family now and that's just what he needed even if he felt like he didn't deserve it.
