(Yaoyorozu POV.)

"Momo... Momo wake up."

I slowly blink my eyes open. I sit up and see Uraraka beside me. "Uraraka? What time is it?" I ask as I rub my eyes and look out the window, only seeing darkness.

"It's 8:30," she tells me.

"What? Where's Shouto at? Has he come back yet?" I ask, now concerned about him.

"Yeah... He came by and left pretty quickly... I didn't see him but Shinso did. He said he saw him leave just as he was coming in. He said that Todoroki looked pretty upset and ignored him when he tried to talk to him."

"Upset..? Why wouldn't he wake me up and talk with me about anything?"

"Well... Maybe you distancing yourself wasn't helping.. I know you said that you didn't want to tell him until his day off, but I think you should just find and tell him..." she says. "Maybe it won't be a distraction like you assume."

I set my hand on my stomach and think about Shouto being upset with me for basically ignoring him. I wasn't talking with him much because this has been the only thing on my mind, and I didn't want to accidentally blurt it out at him. He's a Pro Hero working alone for the both of us right now, he doesn't need any distractions while he's out helping people and stopping the bad guys... At least that's what I thought until now...

I sigh and stand up. "I need to find him."

Uraraka stands up too with a determined look on her face. "I'll help!"

(Todoroki POV.)

I sit at the bar, leaning against my arm as I shoot my whiskey. "God dammit... I don't know where I went wrong..." I mutter. "I'm scared to talk to her about it... I don't want it to be over.." I pour myself another shot from the bottle I had purchased. I shoot it and let out a sigh.

"Yo! Todoroki! What are you doing here?" I hear someone say as they slam their hand on my back.

I turn my head and see Kaminari, Sero, and Kirishima. "Oh... Hey," I say, trying my best to hide my depression. "Why are you guys here?"

"We're here to grab some drinks!" Kaminari happily states.

"Why are you here alone? Where's Yaoyorozu?" Sero asks me as he looks around for her.

"She's.. Back at the office finishing up some stuff," I lie. "I came out to grab a few drinks before I meet her at home."

The three of them sit down in the empty seats beside me, each of them taking my bottle and pouring their own shots. "So our guys night out got one guy bigger!" Kirishima says. The three of them shoot their drinks. "I wish Katsuki came out. He'd definitely have fun."

"Why didn't he come again?" Sero asks.

"He said he overused his Quirk and wanted to go home and get some sleep," Kirishima replies while refiling his glass.

"He must've had a lot of work to do today."

"He was chasing some guy for a solid twenty minutes before I got the guy for him," I inform them. "Then he went back to where Kirishima was by way of his quirk."

"Damn. Bet you're having an easy time in this snow," Kaminari tells me. "Last year didn't you get one of the highest capture records for younger Heroes?"

"Yeah..." I reply. "Can I get a jack and coke?" I ask the bartender.

"Geez man, slow down," Kaminari says to me. "Why are you pounding shots and getting another drink already?"

"No reason... Just feel like drinking tonight."

"Dude, if something's wrong you can tell us," Sero says.

"I don't want to talk about it."

"Are you sure? You might feel better if you talk-"

"I said I don't want to talk about it!" I snap at Kirishima, turning and glaring at him.

"Yeah... Whatever you say..." He turns away from me and takes another shot.

The bartender brings me my drink and I take it and start to pound it. I can feel their eyes on me as I drink nearly half of it in one go. I set the glass down and glare at the table, ignoring everyone around me.

I suddenly feel someone's hand on my shoulder. They pull me and turn me to face them. "Midoriya?" I say as I see it's him.

"What the hell are you doing, Todoroki?" he asks me.

"Drinking. What's it look like?" I reply.

"Why'd you ditch Yaoyorozu? Uraraka said that she was upset you didn't wake her when you were at the office," he tells me.

"Upset? She has no right to be upset with me," I growl.

Midoriya's worried face downturns into a scowl. "Todoroki, yoy need to go and see Yaoyorozu right now."

I stand up to face him head on. As soon as I do I feel all the alcohol I've drank rush to my head and spread through my body. "Don't tell me what to do, Midoriya," I grumble at him.

"Hey Todoroki, take it easy," I hear Sero say.

"Yeah dude, chill," Kaminari says.

My eyes are locked onto Midoriya's, glaring at him. "This is none of your damn business so keep your fucking nose out!"

He takes a step closer to me, trying to intimidate me. "Todoroki, trust me, you need to go home and talk with her."

My anger is building as I see that he's not backing down. I exhale deeply and angrily in an icy mist.

"Todoroki calm down," Kirishima says as he grabs my arm.

I break away from him and push him back. "Don't fucking touch me! This is all your damn boyfriend's fault!" I shout at him.

"What? How is any of this Katsuki's fault?"

"Todoroki you need to calm down. You're drunk," Midoriya says. "We're Pro Heroes. Be professional."

My vision is distorted and I can't quite make out much now. Midoriya is still in my way though, that much I know. I just want to be alone! My left hand starts to radiate heat, while my right gets coated in frost as I glare at Midoriya.

"Get out of my way!"

(Yaoyorozu POV.)

I hope Midoriya is able to find and convince Shouto to come home. Uraraka asked him for his help and he's usually pretty good at finding people... I sigh and lean back on the couch as I stare out the window at the snowfall.

I then hear the front door open. "Shouto?" I call out. I look over and see Midoriya walking in with Shouto slung over his shoulder. "What happened!?" I ask as I rush to them.

"Todoroki's fine for the most part. Don't worry. I kind of had to choke him out though... He was drunk and upset because apparently Kacchan told him that you were going to break up with him."

"What? Why would Bakugou tell him something ridiculous like that?"

Midoriya lays Shouto down on the couch. "I guess Kacchan heard you talking with Ochako earlier and from his understanding of your conversation he thought you were going to end things with Todoroki and he told him that..." he says as he rubs the back of his neck. "Once he wakes up I think you should explain everything."

I sigh as I look down at Shouto. His face is flushed from all the alcohol he's consumed and I can smell the whiskey on his breath as he lightly snores. "I will... I'm hoping he won't be too mad at me though..." I say as I sit on the floor beside him. I gently run my fingers through his hair. He always loves it when I do this.. I love him so much. Why would he believe Bakugou's assumption..?

Midoriya sets his hand on my shoulder and I look up at him. "Can you take care of him on your own?" he asks.

I nod with a small smile. "Yes. Thank you for bringing him home."

He smiles. "Of course. I'm gonna get going now. Good luck with everything."

Midoriya leaves and I remain by Shouto's side, watching him sleep. I didn't like avoiding him, but I felt it necessary to keep it a secret... I honestly didn't think he'd be so down about it. I didn't want him to be distracted, he could've gotten seriously injured by some criminals or villains if he was worrying about this....

I sigh and rest my head on his shoulder. "I'm so sorry Shouto..." I say as tears begin to form in my eyes. "I didn't mean for this to happen..."

I sit beside him for awhile, just thinking and reflecting at how I could have went about this better. Eventually I get up, realizing that he's most likely out for the night. I go to the kitchen and start to make myself some food. I've been waiting around for Shouto and haven't eaten anything yet...

(Todoroki POV.)

Ugh... My head hurts... I open my eyes and the sun is unbearably bright. I cover my face as I sit up. "Mmmmmmmmm.... What the hell happened last night..?" I take my hand off my eyes and see that I'm on my couch. "What? How'd I get home...?"

I look over at the other end of the couch and see Momo fast asleep on the floor with her head in her arms on the couch. "Momo? Now I remember..." I sigh and hold my head. I have a really bad headache...

I lean back and shut my eyes again. I then feel movement beside me on the couch. I open my eyes, glance over and see Momo sitting beside me, staring at me looking as if she's about to cry. "What is it?" I ask without fully facing her.

"Shouto... I'm so sorry!" She wraps her arms around my neck in a big hug. I can feel her tears against my skin and her body trembling. "I'm so sorry..." she says again.

I rub her back as I turn to hold her in my arms. "What... Are you sorry about Momo?" I ask.

She pulls away from me to look me in my eyes. She has tears down her face and seems to be trying to hold back more. "I didn't mean to cause you any heartache Shouto. Bakugou was wrong with what he told you. How could you even think for a second that I would want to break up with you!? I love you too much!"

"Wait. What?" She wasn't planning on ending things? "Then why have you been ignoring me and pretending to be sick?"

"Because I didn't want to distract you from your Hero work. I thought if we spoke like normal it would slip out..."

"Distract me? What is it Momo? Tell me."

She wipes her face with her arm then sets her hand on her abdomen. "I'm pregnant Shouto."

My chest tightens as I stare into her eyes. My gaze drifts down at her stomach and I reach out and touch her. "Pregnant? Really?" I ask as happiness starts to overpower my hangover.

She nods and then smiles. "I took three tests and they were all positive."

I don't really know what to say, I'm too shocked and happy. I'm just staring at her and she's staring at me, waiting for a response of some sort. I finally cup my hands around her cheeks and lean in and kiss her. She kisses me back, setting her arms around my neck and I pull her into my lap.

I part from her and gaze into her eyes. "I love you so much Momo," I say as I set my hand on her stomach. "This is truly amazing. I can't even begin to explain how happy I am right now."

A large smile crosses her face as she leans her head against my shoulder. "I'm glad."

I hug her and sit holding her in my arms, feeling the warmth of her body. "You should have told me when you first found out," I gently tell her.

"I didn't want to distract you. I can't go out in the field now so we're going to be split apart. I was worried you might get hurt if you were distracted with this.."

That's what she meant by split apart... I tighten my hold on her and kiss her head. "You're too considerate sometimes Momo. I'd rather be distracted and knowing than ignored though," I tell her. "Your choice really hurt me, more than anything that could have happened in the field."

She leans back out of my arms and looks at me, her eyes are still shimmering with tears. "I know that now. And I'm so sorry for hurting you Shouto. It wasn't my intention."

I smile gently and take her hand in mine. "I know. It was just painful because, well... Just wait here a minute..."

(Yaoyorozu POV.)

Shouto gets up and walks down the hall. "I feel so bad for making him suffer like this... I need to make it up to him somehow..." I mumble to myself.

Shouto comes back. He's changed out of his dirty alcohol covered clothes and he sits beside me on the couch. "Momo," he says as he turns and faces me, "we've been together for five years and we've always said we'd be together forever... The last few days were rough for me, but I understand why you did it. I love you so much and I will love our child just as much."

He reaches into his pocket and pulls out a small black box and opens it to me. "I've been waiting for the right time to do this, but I don't know if there will ever be a right time. I bought this a couple months ago..."

I look and see a golden ring with two sapphires, two rubys, and a diamond on it. "Shouto..." I say just above a whisper as I cup my hand over my mouth.

"Momo," he gets down on one knee and holds it out to me. "Will you marry me?"
