A/N: THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR 12K READS

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

When you woke up again it was to the sounds of beeping and the smell of alcohol and cleaning supplies. It was freezing as well meaning you were once again in a hospital room. Great. How do you manage to always end up in some sort of hospital setting? Maybe you should forego marrying an actual person and date a hospital bed. You cracked your eyes open slowly to keep from getting blinded as you looked around. Surprisingly, Fatgum was in the chair, and behind in tuckered in the corner were your three children. They were clinging to each other, faces blotchy from crying. Wait, what happened? You sat there thinking trying to figure out why you were there in the first place when it hit you. Truth quirk. Everyone knows about your uncle raping you. Fuck. You wanted to knock yourself out but, it wouldn't stop everyone from knowing anyway. It's not like you can erase their memories. You looked over at your children again wanting to know who picked them up. You needed to hug them you must have worried them to death. You glanced over at Fatgum and as if sensing someone staring at him he woke up jolting in surprise when you looked back at him with a gentle smile.

"Y/N! How do you feel? You didn't wake up so I panicked and took you here. Let me get the doctor. Oh! Your babies are here, Eraserhead picked them up explaining the situation and they cried themselves to sleep. I'll wake them up for you, they've been dying to see you." He said all of that in one panicked breath before getting up and doing as he said. It took one touch to wake up Himiko and when she shrieked your two boys jolted awake. They took one look at you and in three seconds you had three kids trying to get in your face while squeezing you as tight as their little arms can. You hugged all three of them back letting them mush your face and kiss you all over tears and snot all in the nasty mix but, it was fine. It was a small price to pay for worrying their little hearts.

"I was so scared when Uncle Aizawa got us-" Uncle? When did they start calling him that? This was news to you.

"He said mama was in the hospital-"

"I was so s-scared" They were talking all at once and you did your best to shush them letting them sink into your arms and chest. By the time they got comfortable the doctor and nurse came in to explain what happened. Your body had gone into a state of shock and was trying to heal itself thinking it was physical but, was really mental hence why it took so long for you to wake up. Of course, what a surprise. Maybe it's time to look into therapy again...

"We have prescribed some Motrin in case you have headaches but, other than that you are free to go Ms. L/N. I assume you will have someone to escort you out of the hospital?" The two of you looked at Fatgum who volunteered with no hesitation. Satisfied the doctor gave you your discharge papers and, you were free to go with your children in tow who were climbing Fatgum like a tree. You smiled softly watching as Fat basked in the attention and the questions. You trusted him and they trusted him. He was good in your book. You looked around and saw you weren't far and after being stuffed up, you wanted to walk. You knew that stupid truth quirk was still in effect caused when Toshi asked if you were okay you answered not really instead of yes. You had your phone and since you were over the initial shock that's when you read the various messages. You were satisfied just a bit when Aizawa told you he tied up Hizashi banning him from using his record player for a week so he can have time to think about what he's done. You were going to have to talk to the poor man, you knew he was a wreck. You checked all your other messages answering and were surprised by the concern that a lot of them showed. You sweat-dropped at some of them but, most of them made you smile. This was foreign. Sweet but foreign. Ruska was the only one to ever ask if you were okay, to genuinely care. Maybe not all heroes were fake.

"What you're smiling about." You jumped letting out a yelp. You turned to see Crimson looking way too smug. That's saying something considering you can't see half his face.

"That Fat is really good with kids. He's a good person." Crimson agreed and all of you continued on your walk until Crimson once again said he had to leave but, not before giving you a reassuring hug. You didn't want to admit it but, all the hugs were strange since you never get hugs but, it was nice. Before you adopted your children Ruska rarely did hugs since she wasn't a hugger so hugs just weren't for you. You got more hugs in the last few months than you have in your entire life. Izuku loved hugs, and so did Shoto and Natsuo surprisingly. Natsuo was more clingy but, that was fine. The rest of the walk was uninterrupted and finally, you got home. You needed some routine and normalcy right about now. You thanked Fatgum leaving him for all of you to go upstairs. It was a long day, too long you realized. It was after 6 PM so you had them all washed up while you fixed up some leftovers. You let them eat and asked what kind of homework they had. None of it was due tomorrow so you let it slide and let them watch some cartoons in the living room with you while you worked on the next chapter of your herotoon comic. It was a self-projection of your own life but, you will not admit that to anyone yet. About two hours later you heard soft snoring looking up to see that all of them had fallen asleep on each other. You put up all your work and grabbed them gently moving to take them to their rooms when you felt a tug on your shirt.

"Can we sleep with you?" It was Tenko asking as Hitoshi and Himiko looked up at you pleading with their eyes. What else would you say besides yes? After cleaning up the kitchen and room and, washing yourself up all four of you went to your room to sleep. You locked the balcony closed the curtains and curled around your three children protecting them and giving them comfort as well.

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

The next day wasn't too bad, you got them ready for school per usual dealing with a little extra clinginess but, promising that you'll be fine and have their favorite food all three of them went to school without fussing. There was no need to shop for anything or wash anything since you did it earlier in the week so you got right to work on editing a video, posting a Patreon exclusive, and the edited chapter of your herotoon. It was time-consuming and by 12 you decided to make dinner early so it'll be ready for them when you get home. When you had finished by a quarter to 2 your phone buzzed with messages. You looked at them curiously before frowning in confusion. It was Ryo and Snipe saying "I'm here" and two seconds later your bell rang. Cautiously you went to the door and saw indeed that it was Snipe and Ryo. Opening the door you welcomed them offering them drinks and snacks which they took graciously. They sat on the couch as you came back in after turning off the dinner.

"Smells good whatever you're cooking." You smiled at the compliment.

"Yeah, I scared the kids yesterday when they found out mama was in the hospital so I decided to make their favorite." They didn't seem surprised that you were in the hospital so Fat must have told everyone. You couldn't find it in you to be upset but, a warm unfamiliar feeling settled in your chest.

"At least you're alright now, right?" You shrugged.

"I will be one day." You looked off to the side looking through your phone a bit "Not that I don't love your guy's company but, was there a reason why you came? I thought you guys would be too busy." You glanced at the two of them as they both shifted nervously.

"You know...uh...that Present Mic sort of told us by accident and just...wanted to see for yourself if...you were okay...like mentally." Snipe was nervous which granted he wasn't sure what could trigger you to spill stuff you weren't ready to talk about.

"Mentally I'm fucked. I put up a bunch of mental blocks that are getting knocked down bit by bit. Might be time to see a therapist again." You couldn't find it in you to care about the lack of filter. If what you said made people uncomfortable fuck it, they shouldn't have asked you.

"I can suggest some good ones." You tilted at Ryo interested. He talked a bit about it before changing the subject to lighter topics Snipe joined in from time to time. They both left after a bit giving you head pats and hugs. It was nice and they were really trying so they get an A for effort. You looked at your phone again having time to think a bit about everything. Especially what Snipe said.

"Be kind to yourself and don't get angry at the others when they come to check. Give them a chance."

That seemed very weird for someone like him to say but, then again hero persona and the real are very different and can sometimes intermingle when too tired or lax to continue to put up a front. What did he mean anyway? More heroes asking you questions? People, you don't know? You had a lot of questions and not enough answers so for now you'll just take it one step at a time. It's not like anything bad was going to happen right?
