I Don't Forgive You

8. Dabi must Die

A Month Later

Dabi sat awake holding a sleeping Shinji in his arms, in the living room of their new apartment. It was a small shitty apartment, in the shady part of town. They moved there for one reason and one reason only, the unspoken rule of the neighborhood. Don't talk to heroes, don't talk to cops, and mind your own business.

Hawks came through the door and as soon as he closed the door, Shinji woke up and started to cry, "I just got him to sleep," Dabi groaned.

"I'll get him, Touya," Hawks said reaching for Shinji, "you get some sleep, you were up with him all night."

"So were you. And you had to work today," Dabi said, "just go to bed, I've got him."

"No, I can get him," Hawks said, but Dabi was already pushing him towards their bedroom with his one free hand.

"If you don't get some sleep, then I'll be dealing with two babies," Dabi said, "just get some sleep ok?"

Hawks sighed, "just an hour ok? Then wake me up."

"Fine, just get some sleep," Dabi said.

Hawks collapsed onto the bed and immediately passed out, "looks like Daddy Hawks was tired after all, huh?" Dabi said bouncing Shinji in his arms to try and quite him down, "Are you hungry, little dove?"

Dabi went to the small kitchen to make a bottle, and pulled out the can of formula, "shit," he said as he opened the can to see that it was empty, "oh no, It looks Daddy Dabi was too tired to realize we were out, huh Dove?"

Shinji just kept crying, "Shh. It's ok Dove," Dabi said resting Shinji against his shoulder, with one arm, "we'll go get you some more food, ok?"

Dabi tried to give Shinji his pacifier, but as soon as he realized it was not his bottle, spit it out and continued to cry, "Shh, its ok. It's ok, I know you're hungry," Dabi walked into the bedroom as quietly as he could with a screaming baby.

"Keigo," Dabi said, trying to wake Hawks up, but he was sound asleep, "Keigo! Takami!" But he still didn't budge. Dabi sighed, "its ok Dove, we'll just be very careful while we go to the store. That way we won't get caught, huh?"

Dabi gently set Shinji down on the bed, while he put on a hoodie and a mask to try and hide so that he wouldn't be noticed, and then carefully picked Shinji back up, who was now screaming again.

As they walked to the store, Shinji slowly quieted down and fell asleep in Dabi's arms.

"You're..." Shoto said, holding Momo's hands, as he sat across from her on the bed.

"Pregnant, yeah," Momo said, looking down at their hands, still unsure as to what Shoto was thinking.

"So, we're having a baby?" Shoto asked.

"I know, it's bad timing," Momo said, "We just graduated. But I mean, Bakugo and Midoriya seem to be doing fine, and there's no reason why we shouldn't be able to as well."

"So, we're having a baby?" Shoto asked again.

"Yeah," Momo said, Shoto let go of her hands and her heart fell. She closed her eyes to stop herself from crying, when she felt his hands on her stomach.

"Hi baby," Shoto said, "I know you're still just a tiny little bean, but I'm your daddy."

Momo let out a soft sigh, when Shoto grabbed her hand, "come on." He said and pulled her behind him.

"Where are we going?" She said as she followed him.

"To get stuff for the baby," Shoto said with a smile on his face.
