Chapter 49


Sitting down in the baby's soon - to - be nursery, I file through all the presents that the baby and I received from the baby shower the other day. Cute little onesies from Momo, Mina and Ochaco. A couple of mobiles full of planets and stars and moons from Izuku, Tenya and Eijiro. Some cute little baby toys and rattles, some baby bottles and a lovely crib from Enji and Rei as well as an Endeavor onesie (that Toya burnt to ash as soon as Enji left the house). Natsuo and Fuyumi had bought some onesies saying 'Auntie's Little Angel' and 'I Love My Daddy but My Uncle's Way Cooler!' while Shoto bought the baby some cute socks and shoes that are so tiny!

Every so often, the little baby would kick at my stomach as I talk to them gently. My voice soothing them as I explain to them everything that their aunts, their uncles, their grandparents and their uncle's friends got them for their little baby shower. Telling them how Hiro drew them a picture that will hang on their closet alongside as well as a little collage of pictures of Hiro, Eri, Toya, Shota and I that Eri had made especially for the baby's nursery.

And I may have told the baby that Eri may be their future sister - in - law (if things go well!)!

Although it was coming along nicely, the nursery for the baby was way far behind schedule. With only a diminishing amount of months to go, the baby nearing its due date by the day, the nursery still needed to be finished... which kind of put me on edge a little bit. I didn't want my baby to be in a half - assed nursery because of how busy we've both been. I've been working, trying to get as much as I can done before my maternity leave and Toya has been either working with Natsuo on some college work (Toya has been quite invested in Natsuo's work) or helping Hiro with some spellings, words and numbers.

Despite still being in the construction stages, the nursery still looked good. A pristine white wooden crib lay in the corner with a bow tied around the hem (the ribbon the colour of the gender). A painting of clouds (painted by Fuyumi and Rei) circles around the top of the walls. Drawings that Eri and Hiro made were stuck to the white closet with little cute details of ducklings. It was perfect despite how bare is was at the moment.

I couldn't wait for the final product!

After folding up the new baby clothes for the baby and placing all the baby toys and supplies where they need to go, I push myself to my feet with the aid of the wall and take a deep breath. A hiss leaving my lips as the baby kicks rather harshly at my spine while I take a step to leave out of the room to see what Toya and Hiro were up to. My hand rests gently over my baby bump as I slowly make my way downstairs, holding the banister for dear life with every step I take.

The further I get down the stairs, the more I can hear my sons little happy voice. His happy giggle making my heart warm. When I get to the bottom of the stairs, I go to go into the living room before stopping dead in my tracks as I hear a voice that doesn't belong to my husband... nor to any of my family...

What the hell is going on?...

Clearing my throat gently, nervously resting a hand on my stomach to protect the baby should any harm come to it, I take a step forward. My heart hammering in my throat, making me groan gently before sliding into the living room and stopping in my pursuit. My eyes widening as big as saucers at the rather worrying sight before me as I look toward my son before looking toward my husband who isn't phased by what's going on whatsoever...

Sitting on my couch, on my couch, not only was there Twice (which I don't really have a problem with because he and Hiro get on like a house on fire) but there was someone else. A girl. A blond girl. A blonde girl with twin buns and piercing yellow eyes. The girl that had been all over my boyfriend like nothing else mattered. The girl that I completely did trust regardless of her sugary, candy cane smile.

Why is she in my house? Why wasn't I made aware of the fact that both of them are in my house?! Toya should have told me at least!

A small giggle leaves Hiro as he shows the blonde girl something. A drawing perhaps. A drawing that he usually reserves to show me first and no one else. My eyes narrow gently as the girl gushes over him. Her arms wrapping around him tightly making him squeak. His eyes sparkling with glee.

Before I could get out of what felt like a nightmare; I catch Twice's eyes making me internally scream at myself as he pushes to his feet and rushes over to give me a tight squeeze. A weak smile on my lips as he wraps his arms around me and holds me close while I reluctantly hug him back and pat his head.

"Hey Twice," I hum, smiling as he pulls away before gawking at my baby bump and kneeling down to press his cheek against it making me nervously look toward Toya who smiles softly at me, "How've you been?"

"Where have you been hiding this?! You have a baby!" Twice cheers, clapping his hands with a bright smile before poking my bump and kneeling down, "No way are you pregnant?! Didn't think Dabi had it in him!"

"You're pregnant?" The blonde asks with wide eyes looking toward Toya who nods with a chuckle before bouncing over, "Can I f —"

"No," I abruptly cut her off, shaking my head as I wrap my arms around my baby bump and clear my throat, "I'm sorry but you can't..."

With that, I push past both of the villains (since Toya just lets anyone come in my house) and head to the kitchen. My arms never once leaving the area of the baby. As I sit down at the dining table, Toya walks in after me and shuts the kitchen door making my eyes widen. Did he just leave my son in the company of that girl? A girl that is famous for knives and blood? Is he insane?!

"Now... I know what you're thinki—"

"Do you?" I ask, cutting him off swiftly as I glare toward him, " Twice I can let slide because I trust him around Hiro but her? A woman that I do not trust nor do I know! A woman that tried to touch my baby bump! I can't allow —"

"I think you're being unreasonable," Toya hums making me scoff and shake my head with an acrid chuckle, "Himiko won't hurt Hiro, I promise,"

"Oh yeah, her and her knives look like great playing buddies," I hum sarcastically as I gesture to the pile of knives that I can only assume are hers, "I am not being unreasonable, I am pregnant with your child and I want them to be safe! She isn't safe!"

"Babe, I swear on your life that Himiko won't hurt him or you or the baby," Toya explains, taking my hands into his before sighing as I shrug his hands off and shake my head, "Himiko just wanted to meet Hiro because Twice has been going on about him and she wanted to see how cute he was for herself,"

"Oh yeah, like you can believe that," I scoff, rubbing my bump with a sigh as I look toward him, "Not like she'll go straight to Shigaraki and tell him everything about my son so they can recruit him because daddy joined the League of Villains,"

"Babe, you're being really unreasonable right now," Toya hums making me stare at him and narrow my eyes, "She doesn't mean any harm, I swear to you,"

"Toya, how do you know that?" I ask crossing my arms over my chest unimpressed by my husband, "I just want my son to be safe... you are forgetting that Himiko is a villain. She hurt Tsuyu, she hurt Ochaco and she hurt Izuku and stabbed Shota. I can't allow myself to let my son be near her,"

"Babe, Twice is with them, you're okay with Twice being near him," Toya hums, kneeling in front of me and kissing my knuckles as I shift nervously in my chair, "Look at me, Himiko didn't get a good childhood neither did I. She just wants to meet Hiro and maybe play with him for a while... look, I know she's not completely sane but she wouldn't hurt Hiro... I promise you..."

"I... I don't know Toya..." I mumble nervously, sighing as he pulls away. He takes a deep breath and clears his throat to catch my attention before opening up the door, "What are you doing?"

"Watch them, doll,"

Sighing gently, I lean against the dining table and look out the doorway of the kitchen. My eyes falling upon the sight of Hiro giggling to himself as Twice sits in front of him, the male moving his action figure along the coffee table while making the figure have a rather silly voice while Himiko sat beside Hiro. The blonde girl smiling to herself, ruffling Hiro's hair before grabbing one of the other action figures and making them slide across the coffee table and fighting the action figure with Twice's while Hiro claps his hands and watches with awe. His eyes sparkling.

"He's happy," Toya says softly looking toward me while I sigh and look down, fiddling with the hem of my shirt, "It's like he's got a big sister with him,"

"Maybe..." I mumble, whining as Toya slides toward me and kisses my neck playfully with a small chuckle and a smirk on his lips, "That tickles,"

"Just give it time," He coos gently, whispering in my ear gently and holding me close as I snuggle into him as best as I can with the bump ever growing bigger than usual, "You'll come round on it, I promise... Himiko won't cause any harm, I've already spoken to her about talking to Shigaraki,"

"They're still in the League though, Toya," I hum, trying to make him see it from my point of view, "Regardless if you trust them or not, they're still on the side of the villains... I know you're going to say that I was fine with you but that's because I trusted you and I know you'd never hurt me... if they were both on the hero side or even civilian I would be okay but villain... what happens when Shigaraki tries to get information? What if he threatens their life to hurt us?"

"We'll figure something out," Toya explains gently, rubbing my arms as I take a nervous breath and sigh, my eyes focusing on the tiled floor, "I love you,"

"Mmm... I love you too," I hum, wrapping my arms around him and kissing his cheek with a soft giggle, "Just make sure they're not here when your dad or my dad decides to give us a surprise visit,"

"How is your dad?" He asks with a small smirk, leaning against the kitchen table as he grabs himself a chocolate bar to dig into with a hum, "He still trying to play dad of the year?"

"You know he is," I grumble gently, running my fingers through my hair with a small hum, my eyes feeling heavy as I yawn, "He brought All Might onesies for the baby, your dad and my dad are so adamant that they'll be the baby's favourite hero,"

"Who do you reckon will be the baby's favourite hero?" Toya asks curiously, dropping the wrapper in the bin and helping me to my feet as he walk into the living room to join Hiro and Himiko and Twice, "Maybe Hawks?"

"No way," I hum, shaking my head with a giggle as I sit down and rub my bump before nodding toward the little Mirko onesie that Rumi got the baby, "I reckon Mirko or maybe even Shoto or Momo,"

"I reckon it'll be either Jeanist or Fat Gum," Toya hums, smirking as I arch a brow at him before he raises his hand for me to shake, "Wanna bet?"

"Babe, you already owe me tons of money from the gender of the baby, who cooks a better roast, what happens when Shoto sneezes and when the baby is due,"...

"Nah! I'm feeling this one!"...

"I'm not having you influence my baby,"...
