Time Changes Us (DekuBaku)

41

A/N Sorry it's a day late. I'm going to be uploading on Saturdays from now on because like last night I was ripped into overtime at work and it looks like it's going to be a while so. Saturdays it is! I'll update a second chapter later today to make up for the late update. 😘

All Might’s POV
It’s been a couple weeks now since Inko and the boys cleaned out the Yakuza and Aizawa insisted on the boys getting a physical exam and a mental health screening. I don’t know why I didn’t think about it before but it only makes me more relieved about trying to get Aizawa as a friend again. I don’t regret it at all.

Hitoshi was suffering more from his childhood trauma than I realized but now that Recovery Girl was helping him with a simple sleeping aid and Hound Dog was spending time talking to him every week, well, two weeks were like night and day. He just seems so much more energetic than before and I think I actually saw him flirting with one of his classmates this morning, looks like I’ll have another son-in-law in my future.

Izuku had a simple muscle strain but Recovery Girl using her quirk for something so simple as that would be overkill, besides he could use the extra rest anyway and he spent most of heroics class doing stretches so it’s not like he was idle. He is also talking to Hound Dog but I don’t know what. When I asked, Hound Dog just coughed and I had to take a step back. Of course he can’t tell me, but with Izuku standing right there I thought it would be okay if my own son told me.

“Love,” he blurted out and his whole face turned bright strawberry red. He quickly made up an excuse and ran away before I could ask more and Hound Dog just turned to go back in his office leaving me very confused.

It was Katsuki that I was the most worried about though, anger management. I don’t think he was forced to do that during our first lives and he is so much calmer now than before so I really don’t understand it and to make him go three times a week? Isn't that a bit overkill? So I asked him what he thought about it.

“I guess, it’s okay? He kept saying I was doing superb but that he could make it easier on me. He said I could be a better hero and husband if I gave it a try,” he shrugged, confused by the whole thing but not angry.

“Toshinori dear, as their father you need to give them space too. They will talk to us when they need to but we shouldn’t push them. It could drive them away, they are teenagers after all,” Inko swatted me on the chest while I was overthinking it in our living room.

“You’re right,” I chuckled, looking at my beautiful wife cooking spaghetti for dinner, I smiled and gave her a kiss.

She really is beautiful, practically glowing at least right now. She hasn’t been feeling too well recently though, you wouldn’t know that looking at her now. She was humming and dancing a little in the kitchen, little Aiko and Yuki giggling in their room upstairs, leaving us with just this little bit of peace.

I wrapped my arms around her waist and cuddled into her neck before kissing it, enjoying how she kept giggling until the timer on the oven went off and I had to let her go. She opened the oven with a smile on her face before suddenly running out of the room. Confused, I just pulled out the garlic bread and set the cooking sheet on the cooling rack before turning off the oven and following her.

I found her in the bathroom, throwing up. “Honey?” I ran in and rubbed her back and held back her hair. I tried to help, I really did, but what can I really do? 

“Dear, could you serve Aiko and Yuki their dinner? I’m fine I’ll just be a minute,” she looks so pale now and I tried to argue but she cut me off. “The girls need to eat their dinner properly to grow up healthy.”

Damn, I swear the boys and Inko use the girls as a weapon against me all the time. I got the girls to sit at the table and went back to find Inko staring at something in her hands.

“Sweetheart, please? I brought a glass of water,” I tried to bribe her into letting me help her but when she looked up she was smiling big and crying. Someone help me, I’m not smart enough to understand what is going on.

She giggled seeing my confusion before showing me what was in her hands and now I understand.

“You’re pregnant?” I asked looking at the stick and sure enough there were two lines. I put down the cup and picked her up in a hug, no wonder she had been glowing for weeks now! So all the time she has been feeling sick it was just morning sickness!

Then I felt the blood drain from my face, morning sickness…

“Does this mean that your demonic food this time is garlic bread?” I asked to be sure and she laughed at me.

“Seems like it, there might be more later though. It was pretzels and Aiko it was barbecue altogether,” she was still laughing when we joined the girls but just like with Aiko we didn’t say anything and just set up a doctor’s appointment for tomorrow, thankfully it’s Saturday so I don’t have to go to classes and the boys all have internships anyway.

“My babies?” Inko cooed at the boys when we walked into their dorm common area. It took all of two seconds for Nezu to give us the go ahead to come to the dorms and Inko finally agreed to become a teacher next year. Not just any teacher, but the librarian, she refused to have an actual class but did agree to help tutor and Nezu is over the moon.

Katsuki, Izuku and Hitoshi all looked up surprised to see not only us but the girls, they went running ahead and jumped into the boys laps while they were sitting on the couch.

“Mom? Dad?” Izuku looked the most confused but I could only smile. This is going to be more fun than when we told them we were expecting Aiko!
