As expected your children were not happy about having to leave you in the hospital all by themselves. They were fussy and crying. Honestly, it pulled at your heartstrings but, you calmed them down and said they can come and visit you as long as much as they wanted. They weren't going to school on Monday you had used the hospital phone to call so they knew you weren't lying about being there. They wanted Ruska to take them back home and then they wanted to stay with Auntie Rei. After informing Rei of what happened she gladly accepted to watch them until you came out. In the span of the three days and two nights you were there you had friends come by to pay their respects and had Fatgum, Riot, Mt. Lady, and Kamui bring your kids back and forth. On the day you were discharged from the hospital you had clear instructions on what to do and what not to do. You had to come back in a week so they can heal your other two broken ribs but, for now, you had pain medicine to help. It's been a long time since you actually were hurt - five years to be exact- this severely and your pain tolerance was still high but, not as high as it used to be.

"Hey Y/N? Are you still with me?" You blinked forgetting that you were in the car with Mic and Midnight. Aizawa had work he needed to do so Midnight offered to ride with Mic to escort you back home. Right. You needed help with everything and you lived alone. You can manage it'll just take twice as long as usual. The kids are going to have to be careful with hugs and cuddles...

"I'm okay." Good news to the quirk wore off finally and you were able to hide your feelings like you always did. "Hard to breathe properly." You had to take shallow or soft breaths. Any yawning and stretching were going to have you seeing double. At least it was a week instead of 6 or 7 weeks. "Got to be careful." You found a stiff position to stay in and you refused to move. Your ribs didn't protest unnecessarily.

"We can make dinner for you. Let you rest up and the kids have time with you. They missed you a lot." Mic was filling the space with quiet chatter. When he was nervous or it was too quiet he had to fill it with noise which was fine with you. You liked when he talked.

"You guys are sweet." Your voice was clipped but, you meant it. They were sweet and most definitely didn't have to help you with anything they didn't want to. You let Yamada's voice lull you a bit until you made it to your apartment. You had called Rei that she can bring them over along with her kids if she wanted to as well. Now the problem was getting to your 9th-floor apartment without passing out.

"I got you love." Nem had helped you holding on to you a bit for support. You were walking stiffly not paying mind to the pain but, as you kept walking the more drained you felt and the more weight you were leaning on Nem.

"I'm sorry Nem." You really were and were trying to lean off of her but, your body wasn't cooperating.

"You're fine love. I'm not the one who just came out of the hospital anyway." She winked holding you tighter by the waist and hips as Yamada impatiently waited for the elevator. In the few minutes, it took to get to your apartment Nem was practically carrying you as Yamada opened the door for you. They helped you with your shoes and jackets as she deposited you onto the couch to let you get your bearings. "Rest darling." She ran her hand through your hair ignoring the knots and tangles as she and Yamada disappeared to the bathroom. You must have dozed off cause the next time you woke up you heard a ruckus in the kitchen. Slowly maneuvering to sit up you listened to the conversation the two were having.

"I don't understand how the world can be so cruel Nem."

"I don't know either...She's such a sweetheart, a good person, and yet she has been hurt and in the hospital more than any of us. She went like three times since we met her. I think the least we can do is make dinner for her and keep her comfortable." You were flattered. Honestly, you were. Deciding to get up you hissed making a steady trek to the bathroom. You went by them silently and about 45 minutes later you came back with your hair washed leaving it in its natural state and wearing some shorts with a tank top.

"It smells good in here." They both jumped turning to look at you. They stared for a bit before flushing pink and turning back to the food confusing you. Was it something you said?

"Y-yeah didn't know you got up! How do you feel?" Yamada turned to you leaving Nem to look at the food. You felt cleaner but, you still ached and were really tired.

"I'm very tired and still hurt but, that's to be expected." You don't know when you decided to just be honest with them but, you trusted them. "I'm going to sit." You sat down uncomfortably having to breathe when you jostled yourself too hard. You hummed when you felt pillows being pressed around you.

"Pillows help with comfort." You watched as Yamada fawned over you a bit gracing him with a smile once he was done. Comfy and not worried about your kitchen blowing up you grabbed your phone to talk to Jin and Atsuhiro. They haven't really been in the loop so you told them everything and they offered to stop by and see you tomorrow so you agreed. You don't mind having company, nor hugs as you knew Jin was going to do. Gentle hugs though because if you get anything more than a teddy bear pressure hugging you, you'll faint. You continued to watch TV and text people until the bell rang and Nem opened it greeting Rei and the kids. You put your phone down and allowed your children to hover over you convincing them to go change and wash themselves than they can come back and cling to you as much as they wanted. The rest of the day went by nicely. Rei and her children decided to stay with you for a bit catching up and not being bothered by the two pro's in the kitchen. In the end, everyone had a plate of food and you sent Rei home with leftovers courtesy of Natsuo and Touya asking you. Shoto even made you a cute little get-well card. He was too sweet. When it was time to go to bed you decided to just sleep on the pull-out bed in the living room and when you woke up in the morning with all your babies on you, it didn't surprise you.

-------------------------------------------------------

It took convincing but, your children went to school with you assuring them that you'll be safe and you're not going outside today you will stay in the house, and if you need something you have friends that you can ask to bring you stuff. You had the day to yourself and after posting an edited video to your herotube channel that was supposed to go up two days ago along with another herotoon comic you made an update on your community tab that you'll be back in a week-ish since you had just come out the hospital from getting attacked and needed time to recuperate. Now that, that was over you decided to pay some bills over the phone. Once that was done you were able to breathe and watch TV for a bit. Jin and Atsuhiro said they'll be here later so that was something to look forward to. You watched TV catching up with Snipe, Kan (Vlad King), and Ishiyama (Cementoss) on everything as well. You were catching up with everyone it seemed like. Also, you found out that your dear old Uncle was fighting Death arms, Rock Lock and Gunhead. He saw he was outnumbered getting his shit rocked and pulled a disappearing act on them. So, he was out there somewhere recovering from his injuries just like you. Nice. Before you knew it, Jin and Atsuhiro were downstairs and you called security to let them know that Jin and Atsuhiro were fine to come up. Once they were upstairs you opened the door for them noticing how their eyes widen taking in your frame. They were gentlemen as Jin ushered you to go sit back down.

"It's been a while since I talked with you guys? How's everything going?" That left you out of breath more than you cared to admit. You're pretty sure they saw it but didn't comment.

"I've been alright, work is boring as always but it gets the bills paid." Atsuhiro still hadn't taken off his face mask but, you didn't mind it. You were curious but, didn't want to force him to take it off. "Why are you staring at me like that? See something you like?" He was smirking and the little fucker thought he was cute. Two can play this game.

"All the time." You looked him up and down with a smirk of your own satisfied when he looked away with a cough.

"How are you? We didn't ask. I am asking her. Don't get sassy. Don't be rude!" You giggled instantly regretting it when it pulled on your ribs. Not a good feeling at all.

"Please don't make me giggle or laugh. Or breathe too hard. I just saw double when I giggled." Talking too much wasn't feeling good right now either.

"We will try not to. Why don't we watch some TV to pass the time?" Atsuhiro with your permission turned on the TV putting on some random TV show "You'll speak if you want to but, if you don't we can just fill the silence." You nodded agreeing and that's how the next few hours went. The three of you talking like you guys were old friends. It was nice. It was something that you weren't used to and it gave you a warm feeling in your chest. It made you think about something you didn't necessarily like to do all the time. You wondered if you had a different mother would you be close with your youngest siblings? Would you have left Izumaru and the twins? You were the closest to them and they took it the hardest when you left. You used to protect them from the uncle whenever the Incubator wasn't around. At least she never laid a hand on them at least you hope she didn't. The warm feeling in your chest died down and was replaced with something bitter, something you didn't want to focus on. You were taken out of that bitter atmosphere though when Jin and Atsuhiro called your name to ask your opinion about some manga. It was nice. This is what you needed to focus on. Not the past. You couldn't change the past but you can control the present to predict the future.
