"So Jellybean isn't a good name for them?"

Biting back a giggle, I look toward my youngest brother - in - law as we make our way back to my home. Bright smiles play on our lips as we walk down the sidewalk side by side while Shoto rambles on and on and on about everything. The male's eyes were sparkling with happiness as he lists the ridiculous names that he had thought of for the baby on our way down the street.

Today had been especially taxing. The student had a lot of training to do today and I, being pregnant, had to sit on the sidelines away from the action so my baby doesn't get hurt. Which then ended up with me being stuck with my father who was trying his very hardest to get back into my good books. He was getting me drinks. Getting me food. Making sure I was comfortable.

Trying to convince me that he is a good father despite the things he's pulled.

Despite Toya usually taking me home, Shoto had offered to walk me home. He had missed our daily walks after school so Toya had let him for today (I think Shoto may have bribed him with a prank on Enji or something to finalise the deal). Although, however much I love my walks with Shoto, my feet and back were killing me ever so slowly. With my baby bump growing nearly every day, getting bigger as the months go by and I'm getting closer to my due date, my back had been aching with all the new weight I have to carry.

Being the excited uncle, Shoto had formulated some names that were way too ridiculous to name a baby. He had Shoto Junior (one of his favourites because it's named after him) even if it were a girl. There was Potato (which I instantly shutdown in a fit of giggles). He then said maybe Toya Junior (but he didn't really like that). Then he told me Hiro had made up Hiro Junior or Tia (which I found adorable).

And now we were on Jellybean.

The context behind the name Jellybean is that the baby looks like a jellybean in the sonogram picture that we have taped to the fridge. Not only that but it's tiny and the foetus is shaped like one which makes me laugh. Shoto is adorable and dense when it comes to the topic of pregnancies and babies.

"Jellybean?" I ask, arching a brow as I rub my baby bump, watching as Shoto beams with pride at how amazing the name he came up with is. I'm pretty sure it took him all day to come up with it too, "Really?"

"Yeah! It works for a boy or a girl," Shoto points out innocently before smiling as I giggle gently to myself, "Or maybe... maybe you could name them..."

"Sho, I'm loving your enthusiasm, I really am," I begin, grabbing my front door keys as we walk down my driveway toward my home to open up my front door, "All these names are so unbelievably amazing so why don't you make a list and Toya and I will consider them, yeah?"

"Oh, I already did," Shoto explains, watching as I unlock the front door and walk in, setting my bags down as he plays with his tie, "Toya burned the list and told me Jellybean was an awful name,"

Why was I not surprised?

Despite Toya trying to be the 'number one big brother', he still likes to cause a bit of chaos within the household. It's Toya. What did I expect? It's not like he's going to be tame, for Christ's sake. He was unhinged when I re - met him for the first time. Of course he's going to tease and mock and bully Shoto. That's what he was like when he was younger.

I just hope Hiro doesn't follow suit and decide to think it's okay to burn other people's things and take the piss out of someone. Not that it would happen anyway...

Hiro's a literal angel...

Toya just enjoyed causing havoc when he could. I would sometimes get phone calls from Enji saying that Toya had decided to do a fake cake prank (where the cake is actually balloon and you get a face full of icing) or Toya had swapped the salt and the sugar. Like he was my responsibility when Enji made him.

But it is quite funny seeing Enji storm down my driveway covered in chicken feathers. I have to admit that.

"Of course he did," I mumble to myself, shaking my head as I pull out the hair tie out of my hair and let it tumble back down into its original length. My eyes frowning gently at the shut off lights and the silence enveloping my home, "Whats going on?... Are Toya and Hiro out still?"

Clearing my throat, I kick my shoes off and run my fingers through my hair to work out the kinks in my hair from pinning it back before heading further into the house. The living room was pitch black almost (apart from the light peeking through from the shut blinds). Sighing, I flick the lights on and look around seeing that no chores had been done. Did Toya just sleep all day? Are you serious? When I get my hands on him I'm gonna —

"Surprise!"

Suddenly, everyone pops out from behind my couches and door making me shriek and hold my bump with wide eyes while Shoto stands behind me with a small laugh. My eyes nearly bulge out of their sockets as I actually drink in the sight of the living room while I rub my bump gently. My baby shifting as I slowly take a step forward with a small laugh. Toya chuckles gently as he walks toward me and wraps his arms around my waist before pressing a soft kiss to my lips making me giggle and clear my throat as I look around and stick my tongue out toward Hiro who's standing on the couch with Eri, the pair of them holding a banner screaming the words 'Boy or Girl?'.

The living room had been done up with pink and blue streamers and balloons everywhere with white balloons in between. On the coffee table were cupcakes with sugar paste pacifiers and rattles. There was a Moses basket in the corner with a ribbon around it making me giggle gently. Enji was standing with Rei by a huge stack of presents while the students of 1A try to cram themselves in my living room with Natsuo and Fuyumi.

Is this what they were all whispering about during lunch?

Before I could say anything, Toya helps me sit down on the couch and rubs my bump. The male chuckling gently to himself as my eyes instantly hone in on the big three tiered cake that Fuyumi rolls in with. The top layer must have been a chocolate layer considering the icing and the chocolate fingers around the sides. The middle layer had the works 'Baby Todoroki' around it in big lettering. The bottom layer had polka dots in different colours. God I could devour all of that...

"We thought we'd treat you to a baby shower," Toya hums softly, smiling as I lean back against the couch with a small relaxed sigh, "Well.... a surprise baby shower,"

"You're lucky I love you or I would have had your head, I almost pissed myself," I hum, resting a hand on my bump as I watch my students take their places (Hiro sitting in Bakugo's lap which Shoto took offence too), "You know this baby likes to torment me, so... what's lined up?"

"Well, I was thinking we open up your presents," Toya begins, pointing to the big pile of presents making me smile gently and look toward him, "Then, Natsuo is the only one that knows the gender, and we have a little thing in the garden to find out the gender, if you want,"

"Well it would be great to know so we can coordinate that nursery," I begin, giggling as the baby kicks at my hand and wriggles gently in their little home, "And then we could narrow down the names for them too,"

"Jellybean," Shoto hums, winking toward me making me roll my eyes playfully and smile as Toya shakes his head with a small groan, "Jellybean is a great name, you cannot drop it,"

"I feel sorry for your future children," Toya hums arching a brow toward his brother while Shoto deflates and pouts toward his older brother while Natsuo and Fuyumi snort, "Anyway, choose your present,"

Rolling my eyes, I point toward one of them and thank Rei as she sets it down onto my lap and sits down beside me. Slowly, I shake it softly before clearing my throat and beginning to peel off the wrapping paper with a small hum. As I open it up, my eyes widen softly at the sight of baby mobile to hang above the crib. A smile on my lips as I look toward Fuyumi who giggles and smiles leaning into her girlfriend as I set it down and grab myself a cupcake.

"How was your day?" Toya asks gently as everyone begins to mill around and mingle with one another, Hiro sticking to Bakugo or Midoriya as everyone eats some cupcakes and talks with one another, "Any stresses?"

"Other than twenty seven people jumping out of nowhere in my living room, no stresses," I explain simply, kissing his cheek as Toya pulls me into his arms and Eri toddles over with a little present of her own, "Hey sweetie, is that for the baby?"

"Yeah! Hiro and I chose our presents when we went out with Mr. Toya!" Eri chirps happily as she sets the present in my lap making me giggle and ruffle her hair, "I hope you like it!"

"I'm sure we will," I coo, ripping up the wrapping paper with a bright smile and pulling out some baby grows and a rattle making me sigh happily and poke Eri's nose gently, "Thank you sweetie,"

As Eri skips off to play with Hiro in their play room so they're out of the way of everyone, I clear my throat and beckon Midoriya over with a silent gesture. The greenette nods gently and walks toward me before stopping as I push myself to my feet and head to the kitchen with a small hum. Toya eyes us gently as we walk into the kitchen but says nothing, knowing that I wanted to speak to Midoriya at some point after having my little talk with my father.

Ever since my father and I have been at loggerheads, I've noticed Izuku being quite apprehensive whenever I'm around. Whether or not my father has tried to install information into him, I need to make sure that he knows I don't blame him for anything. Even if he's more of a father to Izuku that he is to me. Even if Izuku has gotten more attention from him within a year than I have for the last twenty or so years. Even if my father gave Izuku his all might and powerful quirk.

I'm not jealous... just annoyed...

But I don't blame Izuku for it!

As Izuku walks in, he leans against the kitchen counter and looks toward me while I clear my throat and leave the door ajar. A small smile plays on my lips as I walk toward the dining room chairs and sitting down on one of them with a small hum. Once comfortable, I take a deep breath and look toward the greenette who's switching his weight from one side to the other with a nervous smile.

"I just wanted to talk to you considering that my father and your mother seem to be in a relationship," I begin, rubbing my thumb over my baby bump while Izuku nods gently and takes a nervous breath, "I'm not mad at you, or your mom, okay? I'm more mad at my dad, I just wanted to let you know that I'm not in any way angry or mad or annoyed at you,"

"Okay, it's just with the tension between you and All Might is quite big..." Izuku begins making me smiles weakly and lean into the chair to try and ease tension on my back, "I didn't want to take sides but All Might is practically like a mentor and with the quirk and everything..."

"You don't need to get involved, Midoriya," I explain, rubbing my bump and wince as the baby kicks at my hand, "If dad tries to reel you in, let me know and I'll sort him out. This is between him and I, okay? Now, if you're mom is dating my dad that practically means that you're my step brother now, doesn't it?"

"I guess," Izuku says resting his hand on his chin with a finger curled over his chin with a hum, "I've never really had an older sibling, or a sibling at all for that matter. You could say Kacchan is like a brother but him and I haven't really spent a lot of time and considering Kacchan isn't that fond of me I wouldn't exactly call him a brother. If —"

"You're muttering," I hum, cutting him off making him squeak and laugh nervously rubbing the back of his neck, "Look, just know you're always welcome here if you need anything, okay?"

Izuku nods with a smile and walks over, hugging me gently making me roll my eyes with a small giggle as I hug him back before letting him walk off to go talk to Uraraka and Iida. Toya walks in seconds later and kneels I front of my sitting down, resting his cheek against my bump making me laugh as the baby kicks at his cheek.

"Yeah, that's it, beat daddy into submission little foetus," I hum, squealing with laughter as Toya looks toward me with an arched brow as if I was crazy, "What?"

"Ready to see what gender the potato is?" Toya asks with a grin, kissing my bump gently before pushing himself to his feet and pulling me to my feet in the process, "See if it's a little angel or a little devil?"

"One: it's not a potato and two: what ones which?" I ask arching a brow as Toya leads me into our garden where Hiro and Eri are poking at the balloons Enji and Rei were sorting out, "So how do we do this?"

"Stab them," Natsuo simply says handing me a needle making me arch a brow and stare at the balloons in the middle of the garden, "Then they'll reveal either pink or blue confetti to show the gender,"

"Go on, doll," Toya hums, kissing my cheek before tapping my ass as I head toward the balloons while everyone files out into the garden, "Whenever your ready,"

"Hiro, wanna help?" I ask, giggling as Hiro's eyes sparkle and he races toward me with a bright smile, I slowly pick him up (making sure that he's careful of the bump) before handing him another needle, "On three, sweetie, ready?"

"Yeah, mama!" Hiro chirps with a bright smile, giggling as he pokes at the balloons before taking a deep breath, "One!"

"Two!" I follow, kissing his cheek before throwing the needle back ready to stab the balloon, "Three!"

Simultaneously, Hiro and I stab at the balloons. My eyes widening as I watch the confetti floats across the garden while everyone jumps for joy. The girls all squealing and hugging each other with bright eyes. Kirishima yelled at the top of his lungs with Kaminari. Enji and Rei smile while Fuyumi reluctantly hands Natsuo some money from their little bet while Shoto's eyes sparkle (probably thinking of more names).

Giggling, I look toward Toya who's staring at the confetti before walking toward me and wrapping his arms around my waist with a smile. He presses a kiss to my lips, smiling against them before slowly pulling away and clearing his throat as he stares at the bright confetti shimmering in the sunlight.

"Happy, doll?"...

"I'm very happy, I can't wait,"...

"Uncle Sho and I have a lot of names for the baby, mama!"..
