It's been three months since we got married and we are exhausted from running around and saving people from all the natural disasters recently. Enough that Deku and I handed in vacation slips and fell asleep waiting for our supervisor to show up. We were rudely woken up to the signed vacation slips, everyone was told absolutely no time off would be approved without medical verification. We were approved because other than when we go on forced medical leave we never take time off with the only exception being when Deku moved to my place.
I guess they thought we were about to crash and burn, which we were but no one asked. No one even got upset about us going home or getting time off. They all assumed we were being forced to just like in the past.
We are getting three weeks off this time. Our plan is simple, first three days RESTING, then sex. It's been almost a month and not from the lack of trying either. We just keep getting called back in, from our days off to before and after our shift. Fuck there was once we were in the shower, only just hoping for a quicky, when Deku's phone went off announcing an earthquake. To make matters worse? I have been feeling sick as a dog lately and there was more than once that I've gotten sick while working. Not that Deku was much better, he was so pale you would think he was already cold.
We walked into our little apartment, stripping at the door, dropping our laundry down the shoot, not even caring about what time the cleaners would actually come and take it away. We have plenty of time before we have to go back anyway.
We dragged ourselves up the stairs and collapsed in bed, showers could wait.
***
I walked out of the shower feeling so much better, wiping off the mirror to see myself covered in hickeys and even a few bite marks. It's been a week since we have been home and we took the batteries out of our phones and unplugged the damned TV just so we could actually get some sleep.
Why would we go through all that trouble? Our first night home we were called not even two hours after we clocked out. I took Deku's phone, he was so tired he didn't even wake up to the blaring things, and denied the calls and took the batteries out. I threw them in the bread box in the kitchen and as I was walking upstairs the TV flipped on from an emergency broadcast. I'm lucky I didn't break the damned thing, just to be safe I unplugged and took the batteries out of the emergency radio and sent a message to our supervisor before going back to bed. I was not nice in my message either but at least I didn't break my laptop.
A week of actual peace and quiet, Deku and I cuddled on the couch, played a few silly games and it didn't take three days for us to find each other naked. We cleaned our apartment and were just feeding each other bits of fruit and cheese while cozying up to each other. Why feed ourselves when feeding each other was so much more entertaining? I finally stopped getting sick and was actually able to keep my food down, thank God. I no longer feel like a fucking robot!
*Knock*knock*knock*
You have to be fucking kidding me! I looked at Deku hopefully, "Did you order in?" Please let it be food! He shook his head no and we both groaned. We grabbed a couple t-shirts and after I ran a hand through my hair first someone was knocking on the door again.
"Who the fu-!" I froze seeing Aunty and my Hag at the door.
"My babies!" Aunty cried, grabbing me and Deku once he was within reach while my Hag cursed me and coddled Deku. My dad who came into sight looked so relieved but he just stepped inside and closed the door to stop all the onlookers who were excited to see who managed to stop me from screaming. Thank God our apartment is soundproof, I don't think we would have a place anymore if it wasn't.
Hours later I'm sitting on a chair, falling asleep, only to be woken up by my hag who was cursing me for cutting off all contact. In the end we bought a track phone and put a couple hundred minutes on it just for them.
"No one else gets this number or we will do the same thing with it as our cells," I glared at my Hag and they finally agreed once they found out why we cut everything off.
"Izuku didn't even wake up?" The worry and fear in Auntie's voice made me uncomfortable, not to mention the fact she was crying again. My parents looked pale after they found out.
"I've been so exhausted I couldn't even keep anything down. Up until a few days ago everything had been coming back up and Deku was so pale I mean just look," I tossed them my phone that once I put the battery in started to go off like crazy. I pulled up a picture of Deku, who was still in his hero suit at the time, looking sickly white with deep dark circles under his eyes.
"We aren't being weak but we haven't had a day off in over a month, how could we actually be expected to take care of ourselves when we can't take a fucking shower without getting a phone call to come back in?" I was ranting and I know it. Auntie started crying again thanking God and everyone that she could think of that we decided to move in together.
I looked away at that part, we still haven't told them we are married.
"Haha, about that Mom," Deku tried to laugh but it died in his throat. Which of course got everyone's attention while I tried to disappear into thin air, it didn't work. We had meant to tell them after a month, give us time to adjust and relax into our relationship. But then the calls started coming in on our days off. Until we couldn't even get around to planning a trip home to tell them anymore.
I took a deep breath and tried to rescue Deku from all the attention, "we aren't exactly roommates." My words made our parents freeze and there was nothing but silence as they stared back and forth at us. "You remember all those trips home we had to cancel because of work? Well we were wanting to tell you a bit of news but we were kind of swamped with work."
"Boys, we really need you to explain more than that," Dad spoke slowly but there was an edge to his voice that I'm not used to hearing.
Deku started stuttering and stammering so hard from nervousness while I just felt sick again. Why now? Before I could take another breath I was running for the kitchen trash can, I don't even remember standing up, before I started vomiting. So much for getting better, fucking damn it. I was on my knees, the shaky wobbliness that I usually feel was in full force before I just slowly laid down on the cool floor, not bothering to get back up yet.
"Come on son," I woke up to my dad helping me sit up and Deku sitting next to me. No need to wonder who carried me back to the couch. I just pushed Dad's hands away and cuddled into Deku's arms.
"I see," I heard Aunty almost squealing, oh well. If they figured it out on their own, even better.
"So we kind of got married a few months ago," Deku tried to explain but the Hag and Aunty were squealing so loud that I don't think either really heard a word of what he was saying. My Dad however kept looking at me and a weird look kept passing over his face.
"I need to run to the store real quick, why don't we go and you two just take a short nap? You did say that you were exhausted," he added smiling, the weird look finally leaving his features.
"Sure Uncle, there is a spare key by the door in case we are still out by the time you get back," Deku answered happily and I relaxed again. Choices, sleep in bed upstairs or stay here on the couch? I really want the bed so once they were gone I pouted up at him.
"Bed?" He asked like he was reading my mind, taking me from my place in his lap. He picked me up and carried me upstairs. We had a small quicky and cleaned up before cuddling in bed in our pajama pants. It's getting colder out, it won't be long before it snows.
***
"Son?" I woke up to dad gently shaking me again, I looked around to see Deku still asleep next to me but Aunty was working on waking him up now too. "Let me help you to the bathroom," I just nodded, still too groggy to really understand what the hell is going on.
He guided me, keeping me from hitting or tripping on anything which even for my dad was a little overprotective of him but whatever.
"Katsuki can you pee in this cup?" Again I just nodded at his question, we get drug tested a lot at work and it was nothing to be stopped after taking a nap in the locker room.
"Son I really need you awake for this," I rubbed my eyes before he had me sitting on the closed toilet seat lid.
"Dad, what's going on?" It finally hit me that my dad has never asked me to pee in a cup before. So what the hell is going on?
"Just watch for now then we'll know what's going on," he took out three stick like things and some kind of water dropper thing and put three drops on each of the plastic sticks. Three minutes passed by and two lines appeared on all of the sticks. Am I any closer to figuring out what's going on? Not at all.
He opened the door and was basically bouncing, confusing me more before he told Deku and our mothers, "It's positive!" And our mothers squealed together while dad was smiling bigger than any clown I've ever seen, disturbing me more. Deku and I however were still just as confused as before.
"Quickly get dressed, we'll drive you to the doctor's office!" Aunty gushed, already reaching for our dressers and pulling out clothes for us. I can't say I have ever been so manhandled before in my life. My dad went into another room putting his phone to his ear while our mothers dressed us before pushing us out the door again. We were gone before we really knew what hit us.
It's not long before they called for Bakugo and I frowned, but it was Deku who actually got upset taking me to the counter and updating my information in the system before my hag dragged me back into the office leaving Deku to finish up for me. They took my vitals and general health information before someone came in and made me pee in a cup again. They disappeared leaving me to wait before I heard Deku's gentle knock on the door and he peeked through the door.
I chuckled and motioned for him to come here and he skipped inside to cuddle and hug me while I just sat on the table.
"Everything done?" I chuckled some more and he giggled, nodding his head happily. I turned back to our parents who were sitting on the chairs and let out a sigh. "I took his name when we got married," it was a short explanation but it again had our mothers practically vibrating with nervous energy. You know at this point I give up.
My dad coughed grabbing my attention before he apologized, "Right, I didn't even consider that. I'll keep that in mind in the future." Future? He is already planning to do this to me again in the future? What the hell is all of this anyway?
"Why are we even here in the first place? We were having such a good nap before you all dragged us out of bed," Deku pouted, still holding me as if he were protecting me from our parents himself and at this point I would let him.
"Uh-" Dad started, only for there to be another knock on the door and someone in a white lab coat appeared interrupting him.
"Hello! Is this the Midoriya family or Bakugo? There seems to be some confusion with the paperwork," she asked as she walked inside.
"I'm married now so it's Midoriya. Are YOU going to tell me what the hell is going on?" I answered letting out a sigh at the same time.
"Oh my, you're the patient and you don't even know why you're here? How about I show you then?" She smiled as if this was going to be a real fucking treat. "Please lay back and lift your shirt up just enough to show me your stomach. Very good, now this should be warm. Sometimes it can be cold but this one has been in the little heater for a while now." She tried to squirt some gel on me and I stopped her so fast that some went flying hitting my hag in the face. Well that just made this whole trip worth it.
"Hold on, I sweat nitroglycerin, is that going to affect whatever the hell you're trying to put on me?" I kept myself covered just in case and she actually fucking giggled.
"It's just some aloe vera gel, completely harmless even when exposed to nitroglycerin," I relaxed at her answer and she squirted some on my stomach giving me very mixed feelings about what the hell is going on. "This is an ultrasound, it's used to take certain kinds of pictures of the inside of your body. There are many uses for it in the field of medicine but most people are only really aware of them when taking the first pictures of your baby."
Then on the screen in front of us was not one but two bubbles, showing black and white fuzzy images of babies. I stared in shock.
"Babies?" Deku whispered in shock and the doctor smiled happily at us.
"Congratulations, you're having twins!" The rest was just kind of a blur as she printed out a few pictures for us before helping me to clean up the gel and sit up. She handed the little black and white pictures to me and Deku was lightly fingering the edges of them as if that only could break whatever illusion this was. But nothing happened, it wasn't until I felt someone rubbing my back that I looked up to see my dad giving me a gentle smile that I realized I was crying.
It took a week for the reality to set in, I'm having a baby, not just one either but two! Deku had been taking care of me, practically waiting on me hand and foot. I put my foot down about cooking though, he isn't allowed to step foot in the kitchen unless it's to get something from the cabinet or popcorn in the microwave. Does he deserve that kind of strictness? Not really, he is actually pretty decent, you know if he were 15 still.
I called the extra in HR and they changed my leave from vacation to medical and put Deku on limited duty, which maxed him out at 50 hours for the week even with overtime during my pregnancy. It took a little doing but it's still listed as confidential for my medical reasons and Deku was marked as becoming a father for his limitations. I can only guess how that went when he went back to work.
Weeks turned into months and several ultrasounds, blood tests and so on were conducted throughout. Until we were holding our baby girl and boy in our arms. Yuki and Hiro, our little girl, Yuki, has blond hair and green eyes while Hiro, our baby boy, has green hair and red eyes.
I could feel their silent curiosity as they looked at anything and everything, making me laugh at their cuteness. It was barely a week later (thanks to special healing quirks) that Deku was holding me after a late night of finally putting them to sleep. I couldn't help reacting, the last several weeks have been difficult to say the least. He hasn't touched me.
I don't think he meant to start anything, not that that actually matters because I could have been possessed or something the way I pulled him into my arms. He, thankfully, just smiled and gave me exactly what I wanted. What I needed.
Even with getting up every few hours during those first couple of months, Deku was sweet and loving. He held me when I wanted to be held, he changed their diapers just to let me get a free extra minutes of sleep before bringing them in for me to feed them and even burped them and put them back to bed again when I, no matter how hard I tried not to, fell asleep while they nursed.
I couldn't ask for a better husband even if I tried.
It wasn't until they were 6 months old that I started getting sick again. At first I figured it was just the changing season but then I started having those damned cravings. Pickles dipped in peanut butter, even as I ate them, they made me want to hurl but it was the only time I wouldn't get sick to my stomach.
Another trip to the doctor and yep, I'm pregnant again which just made the doctor entirely too happy. Apparently men don't usually have a second pregnancy, I don't really get why but whatever. This time however we were in for a bigger shock.
"Triplets!" She squealed practically dancing, right here in my room.
The phone call to our parents resulted in me hanging up the damned phone from them screeching in my fucking ears. Another phone call to the extra in HR, I think his name is Neko, and he only had to extend the length in the system.
I feel like I'm going to fucking die. Twins were hard enough but I wasn't even 6 months along when Deku brought up hiring a nanny to help with cooking, cleaning and the babies. "It's not like they will be alone with them, but we can't keep up with everything. Relax just a little, please?"
How can Deku willingly turn those fucking puppy killers on me like that? His big eyes make me want to just drown in them and never come back up again.
"Fuck, fine." I called Neko again this time to look into credited/approved nanny services for heroes. Turns out his sister was approved and would be delighted to do the job. Delilah.
"Don't be offended, she grew up in the states so she tends to use people's first names instead of last names," he quickly added.
"Did you warn her about my nicknames?"
"Yeah, she knows. It's one of the reasons she is a fan of yours," he groaned which caught my attention. The paperwork was cleared and approved before we hung up and she arrived the next day...
She is a fucking cat! Like Meow meow mother fucker, feline in every fucking way. She is a short hair tortoise shell calico with light blue eyes and I just might fucking die.
"Hello, I am Delilah!" She froze for a moment, looked down at herself and giggled before standing up on her rear legs and turning into a lady, hands, feet, clothes, everything. "Sorry about that, I tend to prefer my cat form when I'm not actively doing something that needs hands or something."
After a long discussion, with Deku in the room because I couldn't stop staring. Do I like girls? No, not at all. Do I like cats? I would happily cuddle with one at any time. Which Deku addressed right away which made her laugh even more. She found that perfectly acceptable. So whenever she was done cleaning for the day and the twins were talking a nap it wasn't odd for Deku to walk in with her purring in my lap while I slept, although Deku said he has never once caught her sleeping on the job and the house was always so clean that I wouldn't care if he did.
Ten months after the twins were born, our triplets were finally laying in my arms. Deku always had to take one to bottle feed while I fed the other two. Two boys and a girl, I cried so much I wanted to gag. But the doctors wouldn't take out the womb because it was already too late and it could be harmful for men to take it out. Whatever, Deku and I will just talk about it in a couple months when I don't have so many hormones flooding me.
I am never firing this nanny, Dalilah was a game changer and I don't even call her Kittycat much anymore, which she is weirdly attached to. I tried something more insulting but even I don't like the taste in my mouth from calling her pussy foot.
Five months after the triplets were born we were talking to the doctor about contraceptive options when I was suddenly very sick. Yeah, turns out contraceptives don't really work when you're already pregnant. It was just Deku and I, Delilah was at home with the babies. I mean we aren't hurting for money or anything, Deku and I are still top ranked heroes even with me being out on medical leave for more than 2 years now.
"We already have five," Deku whispered, still in shock and I can't blame him. Don't get me wrong, I already feel so happy for our baby and extremely relieved when we found out it was only one this time.
"Can we fix me after delivery THIS time?" I wanted to beg as I looked at the doctor who just looked relieved that we didn't want to terminate, six kids is a lot to ask of anyone and we were using condoms this time! The plans were made, another phone call to Neko was made who seemed far happier than expected.
"I'm not going to lie to you, Delilah had a hard time finding work as a nanny because of her quirk. So many people still think that cats steal baby's breath so once they saw what her quirk was they would immediately fire her and request a replacement," he explained while I had him on speaker phone. "If she can stay with your family for ten years she could become a top rated nanny and even superstitious people would think twice about firing her."
"Yeah, I'm not letting her go until our youngest is 12. At the earliest," I pouted at the thought of losing her. She was excellent, the house was clean and her cooking was good to begin with but during the times I COULD walk around and do things on my own she often watched and took tips from my cooking. Hell, sometimes I would sit in the kitchen while she cooked and she would ask if I had any advice and she quickly adjusted her cooking to suit my taste. Neko laughed so hard I'm really glad it was still on speaker and not against my ears.
Our youngest, a tiny baby girl, was curled up in my arms, and after talking with Deku for a long time we decided to give her Delilah 's middle name; Rose.
Yuki, Hiro, Daiki, Hinata, Ren and now Rose. Our oldest two were allowed to hold her, carefully, and the triplets who were helped by their grandmothers and grandfather before they then got to hold them themselves, again. They took out the womb but warned us that Deku was still perfectly capable of giving birth if we changed our minds, to which we both yelled "No!"
When it was finally time to drop off the twins at pre-school I was again getting sick and started freaking out because damn it they just turned 4 and I'm not ready to go through all of this again!
Thankfully it turned out to just be a stomach ache, caused by stress most likely from dropping my babies off for their first day of school. Hiro ended up with a quirk very much like my mother's, only it was some other kind of chemical. They never figured out what kind of chemical but we did learn that it basically kept someone looking young, reversing the signs of aging. Aunty looks as young as my Hag at this point. Hiro was excited about it because he wanted to be a big businessman and he would talk to my Hag and dad all the time. Like damn, he is only four.
Yuki however ended up getting Auntie's quirk only much stronger and with pinpoint accuracy that only seemed to get stronger the more she grew. She wants to be a doctor.
Then the triplets turned four; my poor, poor head. Daiki wants to work as a fireman and has a quirk that allows him to basically eat fire? Basically the opposite of Deku's bio dad, who no one seems to know what happened to still, he could also make fire much like Icyhot but he couldn't eat those flames and it was only at his fingertips. Hinata's quirk is a little hard to describe, unlike Daiki's fire eating, she could control water. No idea where that came from but she wants to use it to become a hero and she could control the water and either turn it into ice or make it boil. I'm not upset at the thought that she wants to work with her mommy and daddy. She is very smart and seems to think of things at the tiniest level.
Ren wants to be a lawyer, end of story, he doesn't care what kind of quirk he gets or even if he gets one at all. He was a late bloomer but he did get a quirk but just like he said at the start he still wants to be a lawyer, he sweats pheromones that allow him to adjust people's moods, sometimes he can cause hallucinations. I have no idea how that will affect his chances of becoming a lawyer.
Then when it was Rose's turn she already declared that she would become a hero like us and her sister Hinata. She was by far the latest to get her quirk, we were talking about taking her to the doctor to see if she might be quirkless, our plan if that was the case was to talk to All Might who was currently dating Aunty and start training her for All-For-One. I don't like it but seeing my baby cry, well I like that even less.
But all the planning we did turned out to be for nothing, she received a combo quirk that we now call pyrokinesis. Her quirk lit anything she was looking at on fire and she could move it at will. The first time I caught her 'flying' on the piece of waterlogged wood I nearly had a heart attack. We were going to call it foxfire because it didn't actually burn anything, until we found out that she actively chose not to burn anything. It will only spread if she lets it. Call me a hypocrite or whatever but I'm really fucking glad that One-For-All isn't passed down like normal quirks. I could already see the devastation it would cause if it did.
I walked into headquarters for the first time in almost eight years holding the stack of paperwork Neko made me print out and sign and walked over to the HR offices. "Dynamight, here to see Neko," I groaned only for the receptionist to scream my hero name and get everyone's attention, which sadly, including my idiots who seemed to pop up out of thin air, thankfully I had put the papers in the counter so they didn't go flying everywhere as I was tackled to the ground.
"Bro! You're finally back!" Kiri was straight up bawling, not that the other three were any better. Still, I'm not letting them cover me in fucking snot and tears!
"You were gone for so long and the only thing anyone would tell us was that you were on leave. It wasn't until last month that they told us you were on medical leave!" Kami bawled while Ashido was demanding answers, shaking me where I was under them. Sero decided to stay quiet but he wrapped us all up in his tape refusing to let any of us go.
"Uh, guys I told you he was fine," Deku rubbed his face trying not to get angry at the sight of other people literally on top of me. To be fair he has had me almost entirely too himself for the last seven years. Exceptions being, our parents, doctors and Delilah. Did I want to see anyone while I was pregnant? Fuck no, I probably would have killed them. Did I text them? Almost every fucking day! So why in the hell are they acting like I died or some shit? I even answered a few phone calls which gave away the fact that I had babies when my supervisor called me and he kept it to text messages after that.
Deku was finally able to get me out of the dog pile so I made my way to Neko's office. Disappointed when I found out he only had the head of a cat unlike his sister.
"I'm really feeling the love, if I didn't know you were gay I would be worried for her," he laughed after I grumbled about liking his sister more. He finished my paperwork and I was released to work again and the moment I stepped out of his office I was bombarded with extras demanding to know how/why I disappeared.
"Just get the fuck off of me!" I screamed already in a bad mood. My baby Rose didn't want me to go to work and it hurt so fucking much when I dropped her off at school today.
I heard Deku's giggles and when I looked up I could see that everyone had turned to look at him. "Was Rose being extra clingy this morning?" I let out a groan and just nodded. "She is the baby after all, she'll calm down after a few days." He offered me a hand and I took it.
"You're not a mother Deku, it's harder going from full-time mom to also being a full-time hero," I grumbled but he didn't take it harshly and just patted my back helping me to dodge any more tackles from our coworkers.
"At least you're starting out at only light duty, you'll mostly be in the office and gym and you will still be able to pick Rose up from preschool for a while," he winked at me and I just nodded, still unhappy. I've been on medical leave for so long that I have a minimum of three months of supervised training to make sure I'm fit for work. Then I'll have another two months of shadowing and then another year with a hero partner, thankfully Neko made sure to go ahead and assign me to Deku. At this point I don't think he or I owe each other any favors, we just help each other out when we can.
***
My first day hurt like a bitch, in a good way. It's been so long since I've been able to hit the gym, the burn and sting I feel now are very welcome. I joined the sidekicks and apparently far more paperwork was completed than expected and I went back to the gym again before showering and clocking out for the day.
Did I notice the fuckers tailing me from headquarters all the way to the preschool? Of fucking course, it's not like Deku and I were hiding our babies from our friends, we just didn't want to make a huge deal out of it. But today we did say her name and mentioned the fact that she was my youngest, the fact she was basically a carbon copy of me in female form, haha she is going to hate being compared to me when she gets older, just like I did to my Hag.
"MOMMY!" She squealed happily running away from Delilah, who laughed at her excitement.
I picked her up and twirled her around letting her squeal her happiness. I finally finished walking over to Delilah who turned back into a cat. I warned them both that I had some friends following me and asked if we should go to the park to wait.
"Yes, please!" Rose hugged me tight and Delilah went ahead to get some shopping done, leaving us behind.
Rose could talk just as fast as Deku but she doesn't mutter or mumble, she is very confident in herself just like I was. She talked and talked about school, the kids and the ethics they practiced. Not taught, practiced. She, as well as all of her brothers and sisters, already knew how much of a jackass I was when I was their age and we were careful about what WE wanted from them.
"Can I play with my quirk?! Please?" She looked up at me with her sparkly red eyes and begged.
"Alright but stay close and put it out as soon as anyone comes within hearing distance," I parked my ass on a bench and watched her pick up a stick like a witch from old time scary stories and seemed to light fireballs in midair around her before making them dance around. I just watched her smirking at how creative she was.
She didn't actually make fire out of nothing, she lit the tiniest piece of the end of her stick and made it fly around, not that anyone else would have noticed the difference. Her fire doesn't really burn unless she lets it and once she does let it, her brother Daiki usually eats it.
I could see my idiots hiding behind a bush nearby but they either really suck at undercover work or they are far too excited to see Rose and I. I saw a random lady running on the track and set off a small explosion to get Rose's attention and she put out her fireballs and ran at me before jumping into my lap to wait for the stranger to pass by safely.
I reached into my pocket and pulled out a small wrapped cookie only for her to cheer as if I did magic.
"When will Daddy come home?" She asked, trying to act all cute like she didn't just stab me in the heart.
"Same time as any other day, you know that. We will pick up your brothers and sisters from school first," I ignored the ache in my chest. Ever since I had Rose, even with my womb taken out, I CRAVE his touch and all of our brats think it's hilarious how I'll be pissed as hell one moment but once Deku hugs me from behind all the anger and steam is just gone. As in poof, it was never here before, what are you talking about kind of vanish.
Thankfully, I'm not the only one with that mentality, the moment they are all in bed or if Delilah takes them on a special trip or even if their grandparents come and take them for the day, Deku is dragging me to the bedroom and I am only too willing. Hell last summer break they all spent an entire week at our parents house, I don't think we left the bedroom much and we certainly didn't leave the house at all.
"What are you thinking about?" Rose sweetly asked, the wrapper from the cookie already put into the correct bin.
"Just about how much fun you all had when you spent the week at Grandma's house last year, and if we should do it again this year," I answered her, sure Deku and I would have to work, unless we were somehow approved for vacation at the same time. I might need to call Neko after talking to Deku.
"That was so much fun! Grandma and-" she talked on and on, just sitting on my lap telling me the same story for what is probably the hundredth time. How they went fishing and played in the creek, or practiced their quirks (which she couldn't because she didn't have hers yet). She kept talking until my phone rang and we both froze for a second only to realize it was Delilah.
"Do you want to pick up the other kids and I'll start a big dinner to celebrate the return of Dynamight?" She asked, I could hear her happily humming to herself. I laughed and agreed before we hung up and I faced my baby again who sat quietly.
"Want to pick up the other brats before going home? It will give you another thirty minutes to play before we leave," she cheered some more and jumped off my lap and started playing with her quirk again, this time making the fireballs grow and shrink throughout the dance and I couldn't help clapping.
It wasn't long before we left the park and made our way to the local elementary school, the bell ringing just as we arrived. Hiro was the only one with green hair like their daddy, while Ren actually managed to get brown hair like my dad, the rest of my brats have my ash blond hair. So when the doors opened it was easy to see when they came out. Rose was yelling at her siblings from my shoulders and they all ran over happy that I was able to pick them up.
"It's nice to know that you can still pick us up from school," Hiro smirked at me, the little brat. Sure he only SEEMS to have only gotten my red eyes but he got all of my attitude. I messed up his green hair making his smirk turn into a pout instead.
It didn't take long to notice that Ren was being silent. I frowned and let Rose hop down before getting on his level.
"What happened?" With Ren's quirk he never gets into fights but sometimes I have to wonder if that is actually a good thing or not.
"Mom, I think we should sue the school," he looked up at me and I motioned over to a bench and sat down and waited to hear how my five year old came to such a conclusion. Long story short he witnessed Hiro getting bullied for having a 'lame' quirk. They were going so far as to say that being quirkless was better than just sweating 'random' chemicals.
I nodded and asked a few questions and Hiro answered well enough, not really caring at all. Forget businessman, he is going to be a tycoon like my great grandmother. He has a scary future ahead of him. I can already see it.
I sent a few texts to Neko who was only too excited for me to go on hero trips at schools around town. I would end up having to go to three schools but he was able to put me down for my kids' school as well. I'll be in full uniform and Deku was going to make a surprise visit as well. This should be fun.
I looked back at Ren who was just smiling like a psycho, yeah he is going to be a scary lawyer when he grows up. We finally all got up and I told them all how Delilah was cooking an extra special dinner tonight to celebrate me returning back to hero work which only got them all excited.
Who knew five minutes of texting could make school administrators shake?
***
I already completed the first two schools and Delilah had already picked up Rose from pre-school as I arrived at my five other children's school. I was met at the door by a profusely sweating man who I already happen to know is the school's director.
"Yeah, yeah, I already know let's just go," I interrupted him trying to go over the rules about no swearing and questions about where I've been all this time. Unlike the kids who probably don't know me the staff sure as fuck did and they were all nervous as hell. I walked into a small gym and saw the kindergartners and first graders in the front while the second and third graders were behind them. This should make things easy.
I did my whole skit about drugs being bad, villains are people still and anyone could be a hero and just like I expected a child laughed in the first grader area.
"Well since you think you know more than I do, let's hear it. What's your name and your quirk?" I started out and like I'll ever remember his name anyway his quirk however. "You are not fucking telling me that you think you're all that with a quirk that let's you make things sparkle now are you?" I had already looked at Ren who nodded letting me know that this is the little ass-wipe that was bullying my eldest son.
"Didn't you just say anyone could be a hero?" He throws back at me, still standing there acting tough.
"That would be a fair point if I didn't already know that you have SEVERAL citations of bullying, harassment and assault on your peers. Tell me pipsqueak, why do you think you can get away with all that when all you can do is make things sparkle?" The sarcasm in my voice was so thick that even Yuki looked up. Well at least she isn't that oblivious. She tends to ignore social cues to the point that we took her to a doctor, no there isn't any diagnosis she just doesn't give a flying fuck.
"You can't say that! My Daddy is a city official and he said that they took all of that off my record!" Well that answers that but that didn't stop me from laughing at the fucker. He just outed his daddy on a live broadcast, sure I'll get an earful for cursing in front of kids but his father will now be investigated, probably fired, and this kid will have his record restored to show all of his little evil deeds.
"Do you even know who I am?" I asked, trying to wipe a tear out of my eye but I sat down, relaxing, which made several teachers and staff breathe a sigh of relief. As if I would attack the brat? Too bad, they will all be investigated as well to see who all took the bribe/ bribes. I doubt it's only one. The kid looked around a bit confused but shook his head no.
I snapped my fingers and the screen behind me that used to have the regular hero lecture information on it changed over to my Hero information data sheet;
Dynamight, the explosion pro hero, currently ranked number six only because of medical leave, previously ranked number two. Expected to return to rank two after physical evaluation is completed...
There was a bunch of other things on there too but the little fucker stopped reading out loud when he realized just who I was.
I raised my voice, "Can anyone read what my quirk is?" And just as I expected, all five of my kids raised their hands, no one else did though. I called on Hiro.
"Explosion; a combination quirk that uses sweat made up of nitroglycerin and your hands to ignite creating explosions that are only limited to your will," Hiro finished and sat back down leaving the fucker from before still standing. He had tried to sit down once but I didn't let him.
"You there, pipsqueak," he interrupted trying to get me to say his actual name and I shrugged it off. "You made a very poor decision when you decided to bully one of my kids." I looked up, ignoring the gasp of surprise from the staff who were now starting to panic and guess which ones were mine.
"Speaking of which, this lecture is over. I'm taking all of my kids and leaving now. By the way kids, no one is above the law, that includes heroes, officials, teachers, anyone. Our attorney will be sending a formal complaint within the next 24 hours," they quickly agreed and I let a small explosion pop and five students stood up, picking up their things and ran over to me. I messed up Hiro's hair but he grinned all the same. As relaxed as he is most of the time, he loves petty revenge and that couldn't get much more petty. Not that he knows or realizes how things are going to go legally for either the kids' family or the school staff. I meant it when I said they would be hearing from our attorney, I would be surprised if there wasn't already a fax on the machine and escorts waiting for them outside for questioning.
Deku arrived just as we were about to walk away and they all ran for him calling out, "Daddy." Guess there isn't a need to try and hide our relationship anymore. The cameras are still live. I shrugged my shoulders and took off my mask only for Deku to give me a kiss on the cheek before holding Hiro's hand. Unlike me, they ALL recognized Deku, the number 1 hero of Japan. More than one teacher fainted as we walked out.
Thanks to Neko, we were able to switch their schools but like I said, that was live. There were several interview requests, all denied, and talk show requests, again denied. We were hounded at work for keeping silent until I finally blew up, "I DON'T FUCKING KNOW! WHY ON EARTH WE WOULD ~EVER~ KEEP OUR RELATIONSHIP A SECRET FROM ALL YOUR FUCKERS WHEN YOU ACT LIKE THIS!"
Deku sighed, but nodded in agreement before pulling me towards the gym so I could finally let out some steam. He only covered the camera and locked the door for a minute but his lips on mine as he gently caressed me was like magic. We left the gym and several people tripped over themselves falling back when they saw how calm I was. Several even went white and proceeded to faint. Extras.
Our friends were invited to meet our brats but only at the park and only if they didn't freak our kids out. Sadly Hinata and Daiki were more than friendly with Icyhot and his kid, but thankfully he married Kiri. Rose also jumped at the chance to meet a new fire quirk user. Hiro and Ren were more interested in Glasses and some tech support girl? I remember a lot of explosions that were not mine back in highschool. Glasses even hit me on the back congratulating me on raising two such fine boys. I didn't tell him how they had Deku style notebooks on how to take over the world legally in their bedroom. Nor the fact that all but Rose was already helping with the planning. So long as it's legal, can anyone really be mad? I mean really?
Yuki however looked up and saw floaty bitch trying to talk to her and promptly returned back to her far too advanced biology book. She talked to the frog just fine, but completely ignored round face, it was so hard not to laugh. So extremely hard.
Deku and I chatted with a few friends as we watched them all play before Rose ran up and asked if she could play with her quirk.
"Sure, just be careful not to scare any of the other kids. Not everyone is used to fire," Deku answered her and she nodded with such a serious expression on her face and started dancing with her fireballs again, keeping them all out of reach of the other kids.
Daiki of course frowned and complained that he was hungry, "Rose come on, just a little bit? I promise I'll be careful!" He pouted and she shook her head no.
"Ask Mommy and see if he will let you?" She smirked back at him, turning her back to face him. He just slouched and pouted because he already knows I'll tell him no. No one else can eat fire, so why would he get a snack and no one else would? Of course they don't know that Delilah was already on her way with plenty of pizzas, juice boxes and fruit snacks for everyone. Adults included.
"This is nice," Deku sighed, leaning on my shoulder, cuddling closer as he did. I hummed in agreement, trying very hard not to get too excited. I turned enough that he snuck a kiss making me smile. Fuck it, I used my free hand that wasn't already around his shoulders to cup his face and kiss him gently. I love how he just melts into my kisses, not that I don't do exactly the same thing when he kisses me out of nowhere.
"Glad you married me?" I asked him, grinning while I just stared into his eyes.
"And everything else that happened after," he answered cheekily. Rose hopped up into my lap just so she could sit in between us.
"Oi, what happened to you playing with your quirk?" I grumbled and she giggled and pointed at her cheeks and waited. "Come here you little snot!" I tickled her before planting a kiss on one cheek and Deku got the other. She jumped down and ran off, making me roll my eyes.
"You KNOW we spoiled her rotten right?" I asked turning to Deku who only laughed before pointing at the other side of me and I saw the rest of them lined up.
"Fuck it! You all asked for it!" I hopped up and chased them, with all of them squealing as I caught them one by one and tickled them before giving them a kiss and they ran to their laughing Daddy. Yeah my brats are spoiled but they all make me so proud it hurts.
They were all playing with their quirks now, except for Hiro, maybe, but his is kind of hard to play with. Instead he tended to play with Yuki or Hinata who could send him flying. The 'new' kids hesitated but soon joined in the fun and the amount of fire and ice flying around did get an officer to come talk to us. Once they learned that all of the kids' parents were pro heroes however and present they just sighed in relief.
"You have no idea how often parents will let their kids run wild, it's nice to see parents who are actually paying attention for once."
"Do they need to stop? It's not a problem if that's the case?" Deku asked but the officer hesitated.
"Well that answers that," I groaned and set off one explosion and ice, fire, and the debris disappeared, cleaned up in seconds and Yuki quickly cleared the walk again before they all ran off to play on the swings instead.
I look up when all I hear is silence to find all but Deku staring at me. "Half of them could cook a person alive, you don't think we are strict about how or when they can play with their quirks?"
The other kids ran up to their parents asking what was wrong because, a- they are not used to my explosions, b- all of our kids just suddenly stopped, and c- Do they have to stop too?
The cop stood there for a second before asking, very hesitantly, "when you say cook a person alive?"
"I mean, Rose and Daiki's fire can reach temperatures far hotter than either Icyhot over there or his old man, Endeavor, ever could keep in mind one is only 4 and the other is 5. While Hinata can use her water to boil at will or go absolute zero, like I said Icyhot; stay the duck away from them! Then Hiro's quirk can act like an acid but that's only happened once and it was while he was sick so maybe that won't be an at will thing? Lastly there is Yuki and Ren, just walk away. One can tear you apart by each individual molecule while the other can make you willingly walk into the pits of hell all because you THINK you're walking in the park." I lectured them now that the rest of the kids had run off just leaving the adults to hear.
"Oh Kacchan, Yuki has never ripped anything apart by the molecule before!" Deku scolded me gently for exaggerating and I scoffed in return.
"Deku, I have seen her take a worm to dissect for no other reason to see how long it will live as she tore away pieces of it, without a knife." I shook my head but smiled before adding, "She wants to be a doctor when she grows up." I could feel Deku nodding as he relaxed against me again. I already know he is probably smiling as he watches our kids running around the playset.
"She wants to be a doctor?" Glasses asked both very confused and more than hurting when he was elbowed by his wife. Turns out she has done much worse than dissect a worm before she decided she wanted to make support items for heroes.
We ended up talking for a long time and since we already talked about Yuki we ended up talking about all of their dreams. It surprised all of Deku's friends that only two wanted to be pro heroes.
"Fuck you! A fireman and a doctor are still heroes, dumbasses!" I hissed at the floaty bitch who jumped back in shock. I'm not fucking wrong! And my other two? They want to work in business and as a lawyer, what exactly is wrong with that? There is nothing that says they have to work as pro heroes if they don't want to. Deku and I won't force them one way or the other. And that is that!
"Bakugo, I feel as though I owe you a far too late apology," Glasses got all serious and I rolled my eyes at him.
"Then you can start with the name, it's been Midoriya since we were married almost 8 years ago," I grumbled some more only for Deku to reach up and kiss my cheek. Calming me down completely again as I cuddled into my lover.
"So many apologies," I heard him sigh, correcting himself but Deku just kept nuzzling me and just enjoyed it. This is our life now. Good, bad, irritating and calming, I might as well enjoy the ride.
End.
