Shōto's POV:

"Shōto! We have a very serious situation here!" Katsuki shouted from the bathroom on the second floor.

Worriedly, I quickly made my way over there as I'd been folding clothes in the bedroom which was located right next to the bathroom. I softly knocked on the door, calling his name with a gentle voice.

He swung it open, shoving an object up my face with a grin on his lips.

"I'm pregnant again, dude! We have a second brat incoming; I'm two weeks along!" He cheered, then pressed the positive pregnancy test against his chest, directly over his heart.

I stood there, not very surprised by the news as I'd already picked up the familiar changes in his scent, unlike our first pregnancy where we'd both been completely clueless.

"Then it's just as I thought..." I paused, pulling Katsuki into a loving embrace. "That makes me so damn happy to hear! I've been wanting another baby ever since Aka-chan said her first word!"

Katsuki returned my embrace, pressing me as close to him as possible.

"Really? That's a pretty long time ago. At that point I was still a bit bitter over how unnecessarily painful giving birth was, so I sure as hell didn't want another kid back then, but Aka-chan is one and a half years old already. I feel like I am, no, we are ready to step up our parenting game. Welcoming another little life to our crazy ass family will bring us nothing but joy."

We were still holding each other, but Katsuki put enough distance between us to be able to see my face.

I found myself admiring Katsuki's ecstatic expression. He was always incredibly beautiful, but with such a genuine smile as the one he was currently wearing on his lips, he was more radiant than the sun itself. Over and over again, I was reminded of how gorgeous, strong and courageous my mate was. He was truly amazing in every way possible; his sharp tongue, competitiveness, short temper, insane stubbornness, dishonesty when putting his feelings into words and the contradictions he made when he didn't manage to phrase things the way he wanted, were all charming parts of him.

No matter what, I loved him to death.

"I love you so much, Katsuki! I can't wait until our second baby is born, and I also can't wait to marry you! The wedding is literally only two months away!" I exclaimed, brushing my fingers through his hair with an excited grin on my face.

Katsuki hummed in response, burying his face in my shoulder.

"I have to tell Eijirō, Keigo, Rumi and Deku about the pregnancy! They're throwing fists over their roles at the wedding, so this might cheer them up?" He said, a chuckle following.

I nodded in agreement even though I knew they'd only stop fighting about the wedding for a short moment.

"I don't think the peace between them will last for long, but it's worth a try."

With a smile on my lips, I placed a kiss on Katsuki's head.

"Hey.. Do you think Tōya will come to the wedding? Keigo said that he, Ryō and Hidori will be coming, but he too, has no clue if Tōya will be willing to risk bumping into father. If his identity is exposed, he'll get in trouble for sure, so I really can't blame him."
