Chapter Nine

"H-hey everyone..." Deku said. All heads turned to look his way, and he was just about ready to run back inside.
"OH. MY. GOD. WHERE DID YOU GET THAT SWIMSUIT?!" Uraraka screamed, running over to him as fast as she could. "I'm OBSESSED!! Do you think it comes in pink?!"
"That looks so good on you!!" Mina squealed.
"Totally, ribbit!" Tsu chimed in.
Jiro nodded her head, and Momo walked over to him.
"I'm really glad that you decided to come out and have some fun with us, Midoriya!" She said, squeezing his hands. Deku gave a timid smile, and took a deep breath. He walked over to see Iida and Uraraka, who greeted him a big grin and a salute.
"Midoriya, it's good to see you in good spirits!" Iida said. "I was worried something serious about the pregnancy may have occurred. I'm very glad you're alright."
"Y-Yeah," Deku sighed. "It's just weird, being one of the only...Uh, non-feminine...carriers, so I'm still trying to get used to it..." he trailed off.
"But it's worth it, right?" Iida asked, his voice suddenly serious.
"Huh?"
"Well, you may seem slightly uncomfortable, but it seems like you would do this time and time over again to make Bakugo so happy. So I think overall, you should be more happy then self-conscious." Iida said, pushing up his goggles that covered his glasses.
"Yeah, actually, I guess you're right," Izuku smiled. "Thanks for being such a good friend, Iida- I was worried that one I started looking like...well, this, you wouldn't want to be friends anymore..."
"Of course not!" Iida said, violently waving his hands around. "You are a precious friend of mine- no matter how you look, you're still the same person on the inside, and Midoriya- that's what counts!"
Izuku almost started crying.
"Thank, Iida! I have to go- I think Kacchan's looking for me!" Iida nodded happily, and went back to bringing a cup of fruit punch over to Uraraka, who was reclining in the beach chairs with Mina and Momo.
"Sorry, Kacchan- I was talking with Iida!" Deku said, smiling up at the taller man.
"Listen, I was going to be mad for making me think you disappeared..." Bakugo said. "But you look so damn cute when you smile, I can't really think about anything else...so...you're excused."
Deku giggled, and Tokoyami and Tsu came up to them.
"It's been a while, Bakugo, Midoryia, ribbit!" Tsu greeted happily.
"It sure has! It's good to see you looking good, Tsu!" Izuku beamed back. Tokoyami gave a slight laugh.
"Yes, we have been meaning to ask how you two were doing, but we've been rather busy. I hope you can excuse us."
Bakugo gave him a smile, and he continued.
"No worries. So everything's good with you?" Bakugo asked the frog girl.
"Actually, it's better than good, ribbit!" Tsu chimed in, practically glowing. "We found out a few weeks ago that we're having twins, ribbit!"
Deku's face light up. "That's wonderful, Asui!" He said, grabbing her hands. She laughed.
"I told you to call me Tsu!"
They all laughed together,
"Yes, the little tadpoles are doing well," Tokoyami said, smiling softly. Tsu blushed.
"That's what he calls the babies..."
Izuku squealed in delight.
"That is so freaking cute!! I'm so happy for you guys!"
Bakugo school Tokoyami's hand. "You've got a long road ahead of you...but I know you'll be fine. Good luck, man!"
Bakugo walked towards the pool, and started chatting with Todoroki. Uraraka waved at Izuku from the pool, where her and the rest of the girls were talking while floating on inner tubes.
"C'mon, Deku! Join us!"
Izuku smiled, and grabbed a green floatie. He sat down on it, and paddled with his arms over to the girls.
"We were just talking about names! Do you have any picked out?" The bubbly girl asked.
"Yeah, actually!" Deku replied, his smile growing wider. "I really like Yuki for a boy, and Sakura for a girl!"
"Those are adorable!" Momo said, clapping her hands together. Deku blushed.
"I'm glad you like them! Kacchan said since I'm the one 'doing all the work,' I'm allowed to pick whatever I want- but as soon as I said I liked the ones he picked out, he wouldn't stop grinning all through dinner!"
The girls all laughed along with him.
"Speaking of which," Uraraka said. " I hear you're a really good cook, Deku! Would you mind if Iida and I came to your house for dinner? I have a few recipes that I want to try out, and I figured you'd be the best one to try them!"
"Of course! That would be really fun! Does Sunday work for you guys?"
"Totally! I can't wait!"
Just them, Jiro appeared at the edge of the pool.
"I got some drinks for you all! Here!"
Everyone said a chorus of thankyous, and they all toasted to being parents.

Izuku was just about to get out of the pool, when he accidentally found himself in the deep end of the pool. In his struggle to reach the other side, his inner tube flipped, and he fell into the cool water. He heard the girls shriek, and he sunk lower and lower to the bottom.
When he realized what was happening, Bakugo sprinted to the edge of the pool, and dived in perfectly. He caught up with Iuzku in no time flat, his eyes stinging from the chlorine, and he hauled Izuku to the water's surface just in time.
Izuku chocked and spit out water, and Bakugo swam them both to the shallow end, and pulled Deku into his chest. Deku has started crying.
"Shhhhhh," Bakugo whispered, brushing the green hair out of his face. "It's okay. I've got you. You're safe now. Do you really think I'd let anything happen to you? Kacchan's here, okay? Kacchan's here."
Iuzku nodded tiredly, and by then, it was pretty late. Everyone decided it would be best to head inside for the night.
Everyone showered and set up their stuff in the living room.
"Okay!!" Mina shouted. "Let's have some fun!"
