Ever since I was a teenage girl, the thought of having a child scared me. It's not that I never wanted children. I've wanted children since I was little but as I got older, the thought of being a mom seemed too intimidating. It's just the thought of having a human being dependent on you for most of their life and the rest of yours was frightening. They looked to you for comfort. When they wanted food, they go to you. When they want affection, they'll go to you. To them, you have all the answers. To them, you can do no wrong. To them, you're practically a god. You feed them, you bathe them, you keep them happy. It's an endless cycle.

Not only that, but the whole pregnancy thing is petrifying too! The morning sicknesses. The mood swings and the food cravings that are so wild and crazy that they're unimaginable. The painful labour. You hear so many scary stories about losing your teeth, gaining so much weight that you'll never lose it again, losing bladder control and even haemorrhaging so bad that you'll never have sex the same way again. All of that for one small human that is attached to you for all eternity.

Some say it's worth it. Some say it isn't.

Personally, I don't know how to feel about the whole thing. My mother has dreamed her whole life of being a grandmother. She wants to do the cliché making cookies and sneaking candy to the future grandchildren. She wants to spoil them rotten, give them so many presents and make them happier than ever. It's been her lifelong dream to spoil her grandchildren and she may be able to do that soon. Amai's relationship status is still up in the air but she has thought about adopting some children.

However, me on the other hand, could potentially have a baby...

For a couple of months, Keigo and I have been trying for a baby. I have to admit, it's been harder than we thought. There's so much to think about. I have to wean off the birth control pill. Make sure I eat certain foods to try and help, although I just think it's people talking out of their ass. Trying to calculate ovulation periods and times where I'm menstruating is hard enough. It's so difficult to try and conceive a baby. It's not all sunshine's and rainbows... plus; we need to make it like having sex isn't a chore. We don't do it daily (I don't think I could do it).

This is the last attempt before Keigo and I go get tested for infertility. We've been trying for months and nothing has happened. We just wanted to make sure that everyone was okay, so we promised ourselves that this test will be the final one before we go to a clinic if it's negative. It could be nothing. It just be that I'm miscalculating my ovulation period and maybe my periods could be irregular. Maybe we need to take medication or maybe we need to consider another route. We don't know.

However, recently, I've been feeling a lot different than normal. Migraines have surfaced more often than not and certain smells make me slightly nauseous. My breasts have become a little sore too... it's a combination of feelings that I just need to get checked out if I'm not pregnant. I've googled pregnancy symptoms and I've even asked my mother about it. It's a possibility.

I'm just hoping that this is finally it.

So here I am. Waiting in the bathroom with the timer slowly counting down from the waiting time that's been recommended by the pregnancy test box. Time going as slow as it wants while I click my tongue. My eyes staring at the marble white paint adorning the walls while I take a deep breath and pray to anyone that will hear it. This has to work. Not because that I really want a baby but because I want this so badly for Keigo. He'd be a great dad. He really would. He deserves a child...

As the timer on my phone sounds off, I take a deep breath. Mentally preparing myself for the worst possible outcome. I couldn't expect it to be a positive test. I can't force myself to be hopeful after I've had many negative tests after negative tests. Don't be too hopeful. What will be, will be. Becoming pregnant isn't the only way I can have a child. Keigo and I desperately want a child but we can always adopt, surrogate or even go through insemination through a sperm donor. There's always other options.

My heartbeat is echoing in my eardrums as I turn off my phone and direct my attention toward the small stick. Slowly, my eyes scan over the test before a gasp rips my lips. Oh my god... this is actually happening. It's... oh my god...

I'm pregnant.

Right in front of me, staring straight at me, are two lines. Two lines! Two freaking lines! I'm pregnant! I'm carrying Keigo Takami's baby! I have his baby! Oh my god! After months and months of trying for a baby, it has finally happened... this is amazing. I'm gonna be a mother. I'm gonna be a mom! Keigo's gonna be a dad! He's going to be so excited! Oh my god! I can't believe it... I'm... I'm... I'm gonna have a baby...

Unable to stop the smile spreading across my lips, I head downstairs with my wings fluttering happily. My eyes shimmering in utter excitement as I grab the gift bag from the kitchen counter. It's the gift that I had made ever since we had started trying to conceive for a baby. I know it's getting ahead of myself and I was doing wishful thinking when I had been doing it but it's an incentive. Keigo is going to love this surprise! He really is... I just hope that this is the one. This is the baby....

I don't think I could deal with a miscarriage.

With the bag sitting on the coffee table, I immediately begin to make the house look as clean and as presentable as possible. I want to make this moment as memorable as I possibly can. This is the only chance I'll get to tell him I'm pregnant with our child! We only, really, would like one child. We don't want a litter like Endeavor or his older sister, that's too much children and too much responsibility. One is enough for us, one baby and that is it. One little baby girl or boy. We don't mind. Regardless, we'll love them until we can't anymore.

While my mind runs a mile a minute, I begin to fluff up the pillows on the couches. Then I begin folding the blankets and making sure that the carpet is fully clean. My vacuum running through the room a couple of times. Angel watches me with her tail wagging happily as I set up some candles in the house and set them alight. The ambiance going from normal to slightly intimidate and happy (the candles held the scent of candyfloss!). This has to be perfect. It's going to be memorable!

With the living room set up, the pillows fluffed and the carpet vacuumed, I take a deep breath and think about what to do next. Within a matter of seconds, an idea pops into my head. Something that I know Keigo will absolutely love and cherish for the rest of his life until death brings us apart. I mean, I know when he marries me he has to do that anyway but the baby will be an added bonus that he'll love.

Why don't I just order fried chicken??

I could order that large bucket! The bucket that has a selection of chicken. Some wings, some strips and some nuggets with fries, corn on the cob, coleslaw and and a number of dips. That would be great! We could have a night in with takeout and gush about amazing we'll be as parents. How we won't take after our parents on certain levels and how we'll be the best parents in the whole wide world. He'll love this. Oh god, I can't wait!

Humming gently, I grab my phone and order chicken from my fiancé's favourite restaurant before taking a deep breath. This is finally it. This is what Keigo and I have wanted. A baby. We're finally going to be getting a baby. With the food ordered, I head into the living room and sit down onto the couch with a hand on my stomach. Imagining it as a little baby bump.

"I know you might not have ears yet... or maybe you do. I'm not a scientist," I tell my stomach, smiling to myself at how crazy I must seem from anyone outside, "But, your daddy is gonna be the best daddy ever. He's the number two hero. The best hero ever other than Fat Gum. We like Fat Gum. We don't like Endeavor, okay? If you're an Endeavor fan then I'll have to put you through rehab because I can only put up with one Endeavor fan. And your daddy has an Endeavor shrine that I don't want you to add to...

But you're going to be so loved. We don't care if you're a unicorn or a vampire or even if you're the as tiny as a button, you're going to be so so loved. By me. By your daddy. By your Auntie Amai. Your auntie Rumi and Auntie Yu. You'll be our little Angel... I promise. If you're a boy or girl, if you like girls or guys or even none, we'll love you regardless. My little Angel,"

"You talking to your food baby again?" Keigo butts in making me squeak and look toward him while I throw a pillow toward him while he laughs, "Is it a baby made of chicken? Did you eat all my leftover chicken? Or is it a baby made of melon? Or pancakes! Actually no... a pancake baby would look weird,"

"I didn't even realise you came in," I tell him as he chuckles and kisses my cheek before sliding beside me. His arm wrapping around my shoulder, "How was work, chicken wing? Endeavor strangled you yet?"

"Oh ha, ha, ha..." he hums, resting his cheek on my shoulder while I snuggle into him happily, "How was your day off?"

"It was good," I hum, taking a deep breath as I look up at him. Immediately, his lips press against my own making me hum and wrap my arms around his neck, "Missed you so much,"

"Mmm, I missed you more," he coos, peppering my face with kisses making me squeal with giggles as he blows a raspberry against my neck and squeezes my hips, "Wanna give you some perfect loving~"

"Oh yeah?" I coo, gasping softly as he presses himself against me and nibbles on my clavicle while I pull at his locks, "Kei, as much as I love being loved by you, could we postpone for like... mmm... two seconds,"

"Okay. One... two... now loving," Keigo hums, smirking as he slams his lips against mine making me hum and laugh against him, "Don't laugh at me, you meanie,"

"Kei, I want to talk to you about something," I tell him, smiling as he pulls away with a small pout and looks toward me, "It's important, it really is. You're going to love this,"

"Talk to me," he tells me, looking toward me as I take a deep breath before grabbing the gift bag and set it into his lap, "Oh? It's not my birthday yet baby. Did I miss an anniversary? Oh my god! Is it your birthday? Did I forget your birthday and this is your present from me but you already bought it?"

"It's not anyone's birthday," I reassure him softly, kissing his cheek as he takes a deep breath and arches a brow my way, "Open it,"

Taking a deep breath, Keigo nods slowly toward me and opens up the bag. He stares at the contents before looking back at me. Eyes shimmering with confusion as he pulls out little baby grows. His eyes widen slightly, turning it around to read the little writing on the front saying 'My Daddy's My Favourite Hero' before arching a brow and grinning.

"This is some kinky shit but I don't think you could fit into this," Keigo tells me, snorting when I gawk at him with wide eyes, "You've never called me daddy, baby. I mean, if you want to you can but I — oh my god..."

"What?" I ask, smiling happily as he clears his throat and reads the baby grow again before clearing his throat again and looking up at the ceiling, "Kei?... You okay?"

"Are you...?" He asks, looking toward my stomach before shaking his head as I nod happily. Tears bunching in his eyes as I nod even more and smile, trying to hold back the tears in my eyes, "Are you really?... are you?! We're gonna... oh my god..."

"Kei, I'm pregnant," I tell him, smiling as he bursts into happy tears and sets the bag down to pull me into a hug, "We're gonna be parents... you're gonna be a daddy,"

"We're gonna have a baby!" He cries, wiping his eyes and clearing his throat as I nod and press my lips against his while he smiles, "Oh my god... we're... I love you so so much, my beautiful baby mama..."

"I love you too... god, we're having a baby,"...

"You're perfect... you're so so perfect,"...

"Our little Angel is coming,"...
