(Shouto POV.)

It's been a few days since I informed the reporter about our situation, and thankfully the spotlight hasn't been as strong on us. The media reported the news about us having twins, the fact that our plan was to always get married and that these things just lined up. The article also had my mild tangent about us not wanting the media to be focusing on us and that "Creati" doesn't need the added stress of more eyes on her over this development.

With that article out we've been able to take it a bit easier.. We took a look at the house that I contacted the realtor about and we both actually really liked it. It was in a great location in a quiet neighborhood just outside the city, it was fairly large, had a more traditional feel but also had some very modern additions to it which Momo really liked. Overall it was basically perfect and we made an offer.

That was a few days ago now and we haven't heard anything back yet. We're trying to not get our hopes up, but I do want us to get it... I'm hoping that tonight will be enough of a distraction for me to not think about it... Since, tonight is my birthday..

Momo wanted us to go out to eat since the press has laid off us, so we're going to a five star restaurant later. It'll be nice to get out of the house and spend some time together out on a date like we used to.

I'm looking forward to my date tonight with Momo, but that's not happening until later and somehow I got dragged out by Midoriya and some of the others who wanted to celebrate my birthday too..

Midoriya, Iida, Kirishima, Bakugou, Sero, and Kaminari dragged me out to lunch, and by that, I mean we're at Bakugou and Kirishima's apartment because Bakugou wanted to cook. I'm just glad we didn't go somewhere public with this group.. I feel like we'd cause a huge scene somewhere..

"So how you holding up man? We haven't heard from ya in awhile," Kirishima asks me.

We're all sitting in their large living room that has an enormous window that looks across the city. Everyone is sitting except Bakugou who is cooking, and we're all just catching up. It's been a little while since we got to just hang out without any of the girls around us. It's kinda nice but I already miss Momo..

"I'm fine. A lot better after seeing Recovery Girl last week," I reply as I set my hand on my shoulder, reminding them and myself of my injury.

"It's unfortunate that you received such an injury, and on your wedding day too," Iida states. "Have you been taking it easy since then? Even after she healed you more?"

"I've been taking it as easy as I can, Iida. It's hard though when Momo is carrying twins and is forced to take care of me. I don't like being a burden."

"I understand that it must be hard for you and for her, but keep in mind that she's a very caring woman and you pushing yourself too hard won't do you or her any good."

"I know that.." I mumble, tired of people telling me this already.

"How's Momo doing anyway? I saw that response you gave that reporter a few days ago," Sero chuckles. "Someone in the store also took a video of you and you looked like you wanted to kill that guy."

"I didn't want to kill him... Freezing him came to mind though.."

"I don't think Todoroki really wants to talk about this on his birthday you guys," Midoriya chimes in, waving them off. "So since you actually caved in and came to hang out with us does that mean that you and Yaoy- um.. Momo, are doing something special this year? You never let us do anything for your birthday."

"We're just going to dinner tonight and then spending the rest of the night together at home."

"They're gonna fuck!" Bakugou shouts from the kitchen. I glance over my shoulder and see him with a big evil looking grin as he laughs. "Tell me I'm wrong!"

"Well.. No..."

"Bet you're looking forward to that! Probably haven't gotten any in like a month!"

"Kacchan cut it out."

"Yeah bro chill a bit," Kaminari adds. "But for real Todoroki, try not to make it too quick if ya know what I mean," he says with a wink.

"Shut up. I know how to satisfy her. She finishes before I do most of the time."

"Todoroki!"

"Wow man!"

"Momo's a lucky girl!"

"Todoroki.." Midoriya mumbles while shaking his head.

"Hahaha! At least Icy Hot is good at something!"

"What? It's the truth. You guys brought the topic up, I thought it was okay to add on."

Normally I don't participate in conversations about sex, mainly because I don't see the point. It's an intimate thing between two people.. But I forget that everyone does it and it's not like it's something to be embarrassed about. Me and Momo are married anyway and she's pregnant. They know we have sex so what's the harm in talking about it?

"Todoroki you don't have to fall to Bakugou's level of profanity and vulgarity," Iida tells me. "I'm sure your wife wouldn't appreciate you talking about this sort of thing."

"Why not? She talks about our sex life with her friends all the time," I reply.

"Oh man," Bakugou laughs, "maybe I should suck it up and hang out with the girls sometime!"

"Katsuki enough. When's the food gonna be ready anyway?"

"It'll be done when it's done! Like five more minutes."

"So I have a question since we're on this topic," Kaminari says, gaining our attention. "With her pregnant and all, does it change the sex?"

"I don't even know what we're having."

"Not the sex of your fucking kids you dumbass!" Bakugou shouts. "He means does it feel different when you fuck her!"

"Oh.. I don't know.. We haven't done it since she's started to show. I don't even know if we can do it tonight to be honest..." I say with a sigh.

"What do you mean?" Midoriya asks.

"Recovery Girl told me not to use my fire and my doctor told me that I shouldn't try to over exert myself and if I have sex then I need to regulate my temperature so I don't cause the inflammation in my shoulder to worsen," I explain.

"What d'you mean regulate your temperature? Do you catch on fire when you do it?" Sero laughs.

"No. It's common for people with fire quirks to heat up when they have sex. My doctor doesn't want that happening so I just have to have better control for tonight."

"Maybe you should put it off until you're fully healed then," Iida tells me with a slightly worried look. "You've already been out of comission for a few weeks now. And Momo has also not been doing any Hero work for over two months now. Can you two go much longer without any income coming into your household?"

I run my hand through my hair, shutting my eyes and going over in my head what me and Momo had discussed already. "We'll be fine. I'd rather not talk about this right now though. I already had to convince Momo that we'd be okay even if we get the house we bid on."

"You guys are buying a house?" Midoriya asks.

Shit... We agreed to keep it a secret until we knew whether or not we'll get it... "Um.. Yeah, but I wasn't supposed to tell anyone..."

"Way ta go dumbass," Bakugou scoffs from the kitchen. "Food's done now you fucking freeloaders!"

We all get up and go to the bar styled counter and sit down. Bakugou has laid out the plates of food in front of each seat and every one of them looks exactly the same and restaurant quality. I wonder how Momo's day is going today. Hopefully she's doing fine with her friends.. Mine seem to just wanna talk about this sort of stuff..

(Momo POV.)

"I can't believe you didn't tell any of us except for Jirou and Uraraka!" Ashido exclaims as our group of girls walks through the mall.

Today with Shouto being dragged out by Midoriya and the others, Uraraka and the girls decided to take me out as well. I haven't seen some of them since the wedding and they all recently learned about the pregnancy thanks to Bakugou and the media..

"I told you already that I was sorry, but it's something personal that we've never had to deal with before," I tell her for what feels like the thousandth time. "I'm sure if it happens to you and Sero you'll understand how I felt about it all."

"Yeah okay. I guess you're right," Ashido huffs. "I just wish you woulda told us earlier! We could have started to get you guys some great stuff!"

"Get us stuff?"

"Yeah! You're having twins Momo!" Hagakure exclaims enthusiastically. "We gotta get you guys some congratulatory gifts for them!"

"Is that why you brought me here?" I ask, suddenly realizing that we're nearing a baby and pregnancy store.

"Of course!" Ashido says as she leads the way. "We also need to make sure you get some good maternity clothes too since you're only going to be getting bigger and I doubt Todoroki will be wanting to do that with you."

I let out a small sigh and nod. "Fine. But we don't even know what we're having yet so let's hold off on buying anything for the babies," I counter offer.

"Fine! But only if you tell us right away this time when you know what you're having!"

"Deal," I laugh as she and Hagakure enter the store first.

"I knew they'd be enthusiastic but I didn't think it'd be to this extent," Uraraka states.

"Really? I was expecting more to be honest," Jirou replies.

"They're okay," I laugh. "They're just being themselves."

"It kinda sucks that the others had work today," Uraraka says as we finally enter the store. "I know Tsu wanted to come and Kendou told me that she was scheduled across town for her patrol."

"There's plenty of time to catch up with everyone," I remind her. "I do wish the others were here, but right now, with the energy that those two have I feel this is about as much as I can handle right now."

"I can imagine that living with Todoroki for so long you probably aren't as used to high levels of energy," Jirou states with a small grin.

"Oh yeah I've been meaning to ask, since you guys are married now and you're also a Todoroki, does this mean we should start calling him by his first name?" Uraraka questions.

"I don't think Shouto would have a problem with it if you want to start," I answer as we walk to where Ashido and Hagakure are at. "I can ask him about it if you want."

"I think it'd be funnier to just call him that and see what his reaction is," Jirou chuckles.

"Hey! Come on! We got a lot of shopping to do you guys!"

The three of us focus on the other two and see that they already have arm loads of maternity clothes for me to try on. I sigh and rub the back of my neck. "Sure thing." Today is going to be a long day.

(Shouto POV.)

I straighten my tie as I look at myself in the bathroom mirror. Momo has been in the bedroom getting ready for about ten minutes now.. I know that she's not super big yet, but, she is getting there.. I hope she can get her dress on just fine without any help.

We didn't exactly get the chance to spend today together like I wanted, but at least we have the rest of the night to be together. Seeing my friends was enjoyable and I know Momo needed some time out of the house too. Today was a good day, but the night isn't over yet..

Seeing that my tie is as straight as it can be I look my appearance over. I'm wearing my best black suit, blue dress shirt, red tie, and black dress shoes.. "I feel like such a grown up," I mutter at my reflection as I look down at my ring.

I hit the lights as I exit the bathroom and turn to the closed bedroom door, knocking on it. "Momo. You ready yet?" I ask through the door, hearing movement inside.

"Almost. I'll be out in a minute."

"If you changed your mind and just wanna stay home I'm fine with that."

Honestly we probably shouldn't be spending a bunch of money on a single dinner with our current situation.. But, Momo insisted.. And right now I just want to give her what she wants...

"We're going out. We already have the reservation and we're not canceling. We're celebrating your birthday this year properly, Shouto."

I rub the back of my neck as I lean forward and rest my forehead against the door. "Properly... Fine," I sigh, not wanting to argue. "You didn't get me a present did you? We shouldn't waste money on anything extra right now. I feel like I got enough gifts from Midoriya and the others earlier today when we had lunch."

"What kind of stuff did they get you?"

"Midoriya got me a vintage All Might shirt along with a framed picture of us all when we all started at the agency," I reply, smiling at the memory and thoughtful gift. "Iida got me a new watch, Kaminari got me a coffee mug that says 'I can't tell my kids apart', Sero got me a book filled with 'dad jokes', Kirishima said his present was getting us all together and Bakugou.. Bakugou made lunch and then made me a shirt that he said should be apart of my Hero merch..."

"What was on the shirt?" she asks sounding a little uneasy.

"It's a blue shirt with red and white text with basically all the stupid nicknames he's called me over the years," I sigh.

"Wow.. You've got to wear it at least once to humor him you know," she laughs.

"Tch.. Maybe. It's kind of ridiculous.."

The door opens and I straighten myself up and my eyes fall upon Momo. She's standing in the doorway wearing her hair down, a black and red trimmed dress and matching flats. I gaze at her, looking her up and down and notice her evident baby bump, but the dress fits her perfectly.

"What time is our reservation again?" I ask, stepping closer to her and setting my hands on her hips.

"Oh so now you want to go?" she questions me with a grin and an arch of her eyebrow.

"I'll go anywhere you want if I get to show off my gorgeous wife," I say before I kiss her. I separate our lips and set my hand over her belly while staring into her eyes. "You are truly beautiful Momo."

"When did you get so charming?" she asks, smiling and setting her hands on the back of my head, teasing her fingers through my hair.

I shrug my shoulders while smiling at her. "You bring out the best in me," I reply, looking down at her stomach. "We should probably get going now if we want to make that reservation."

"Yeah. Plus there's a surprise at the restaurant for you."

"Surprise..? You know how I feel about surprises..."

"I know," she says, straightening my tie again, "but this one I'm sure you'll like."

(Momo POV.)

Shouto and I make it to the restaurant on time for our table. As we get lead to our reserved table I see that his surprise is already seated and waiting.

"Is that my family?" Shouto asks as we're lead to our table.

"Yeah. I called them a few days ago to come out and celebrate your birthday for once," I reply, tightening my hold on his hand as we walk.

"My dad isn't here though right..? I don't see him anywhere.."

As much as I'd like for him and his father to make up, I made sure Enji would not be here tonight.. I know Shouto still needs time to forgive him, but I don't know if he ever will.. I know it must be hard even after all these years..

"No. He's not here," I reply just before we reach the table.

"Good," he sighs as he pulls the chair out for me.

"Happy birthday Shouto," Rei says as I get situated in my chair.

"Thanks mom," he replies, smiling and then leaning over and hugging her. He sits in the empty chair between me and his mother.

"Happy birthday Shouto. I'm surprised you were willing to come out and do something for once," Fuyumi says.

"Yeah. You never wanna do anything," Natsuo adds on. "Plus with your injuries shouldn't you still be in bed?"

Shouto shrugs and sets his hand on my leg beneath the table as he looks to his family. "I'm doing alot better now and I promised Momo we could do something this year since we have a lot to celebrate," he replies with a small grin. "Plus it'll be our last birthday celebration just the two of us."

"And your first birthday celebration," Fuyumi says. "I honestly don't get why you never liked to celebrate your birthday. Nothing bad ever happened on it."

"I just don't see a point in it," Shouto bluntly responds.

"Well we're here now as a family and celebrating Shouto's twenty fourth birthday along with his and Momo's marriage and pregnancy," Rei says, trying to steer the conversation away from the current topic. "So Momo how are you doing with everything? I noticed the media has eased up on you and Shouto since he went off a little on that reporter."

Shouto scoffs under his breath and rest his head against his fist as he looks at me along with the others. "I'm doing good. It had been a little stressful and tiring taking care of Shouto for the first two weeks but this past week has been a lot better since he can function on his own," I reply. "But with everything else going on I can't completely relax."

"Everything else?" Natsuo questions. "You mean neither of you guys working?"

"That's most of it. With us both out of the field right now we're living off our savings."

"But we have more than enough to do so," Shouto chimes in.

"But if we get-"

"I told you before that everything will be just fine," he interrupts. "You need to not worry about anything right now. Just let me handle it all."

"If you guys get what?" Fuyumi asks.

"Nothing. It doesn't matter right now," Shouto replies to her with a mild glare.

"Well don't worry about the meal," Rei speaks up. "Since your father had work and couldn't be here he's already paid for the dinner."

Shouto grumbles slightly but nods to what she had told him. He's probably just glad that Enji isn't here right now..

"Tell dad thanks, I guess..." he says as he removes his hand from my leg and picks up the menu. "So I can order anything then?"

"Of course," Rei replies with a smile.

"Shouto's going for the most expensive thing on the menu," Natsuo laughs. "I know I am."

(Shouto POV.)

Dinner was enjoyable. It had been a long time since I got to spend time with my family like that and it was good to catch back up. I was looking forward to just spending time with Momo but I think it was better this way. It's always nice to see my mother. This was definitely a good birthday..

Me and Momo got home safe and sound with no interruptions from any tabloids or any fans swarming us. Hopefully they all understand our situation and will be respectful, but I'm guessing it'll only last a few months.. Probably up until she starts getting much bigger.. Or once they're born..

Anyway, thinking about all that gives me a headache.. And we're finally home and now I have her all to myself like I've been wanting all day. We head straight to the bedroom, both of us fully aware of what we want and are going to do. Three weeks seems like such a long time... It's actually been closer to a month since we've done it and I'm hoping I can last long enough to please her...

She enters the bedroom first and I follow close behind, shutting the door and then face her. She starts to remove her dress, pulling it from her shoulder but before she can take it off I step up behind her and wrap my arms around her.

"Shouto, what are you doing?" she questions with a slight laugh.

"I'm hugging my wife," I reply, shutting my eyes, nuzzling my face into her neck and kiss her. "You're still up for this right? Dinner didn't make you too full or anything?"

She runs her hand across my arm and turns her head so she's facing me. I part my eyes open and smile at her. "Of course I'm still up for it," she says, closing the small gap between our lips.

The kiss is so sweet and so warm, but I can feel myself quickly getting aroused. I move my hand across her front and slid it into her dress, grabbing her boob and starting to grope her. She moans and I take the opportunity to slid my tongue into her mouth.

Our bodies begin to move on instinct. She turns and faces me while keeping our lips connected. Getting her dress off is easy and I pull it down in one motion, leaving her in a pair of amazing black lingerie.

"Oh God Momo you're so sexy," I tell her as I set my hands on her hips and look her body up and down. "You're so perfect."

She averts her eyes, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear as her face heats up and tints pink. "You're just saying that.. I'm so much bigger already and without my clothes on-"

"Momo," I lift my hands to her face, running my thumbs across her cheeks as I stare into her eyes, "you will always be beautiful to me. Don't feel self conscious about anything, especially with me."

She smiles at me but glances away again. She does this whenever she starts to be doubtful.. "I'm just not used to being this size.. My quirk uses the lipids in my body, so being like this is just making me feel a little self conscious about it..."

"Well, I think you're amazing and still the most beautiful woman in the world and I feel lucky to have married you," I say as I start to take my tie off. "Now can we finally consummate our marriage?"

A smirk forms on her face as she begins to remove my blazer. "It's about time we made it official right?"

"My thoughts exactly."

A/N: I didn't wanna write a sex scene right now and figured I could leave it up to the imagination lol

Now I gotta figure out where to go from here 🤔 I got a few ideas on where I could go, but I still need to figure some stuff out 😶 Feel free to toss some ideas my way. Anything'll probably help me out 😁

Hope ya liked the chapter enough 😘
