Kazumi steps out of the elevator, stifling a yawn as she enters the common room. Bakugou is already hard at work in the kitchen, preparing breakfast, while Kirishima, still rubbing the sleep from his eyes, sits at the counter.

Taking a seat beside her dad, Kazumi greets him with a sleepy "Morning dad."

Kirishima, still in a half-awake daze, responds with a lazy "Morning."

As the morning haze begins to lift, Kirishima's eyes widen in surprise, his mouth forming a silent 'O' as he looks at the girl seated next to him.

"What did you just call me?" he asks, his confusion evident.

Realizing her slip-up, Kazumi's eyes widen in alarm, fully waking her up. "Forget I said anything! Why would I call you dad?! I'm just tired and didn't mean anything, at all!" she stammers, attempting to backtrack.

Bakugou, overhearing the exchange, snorts in amusement. "You're just as bad at lying as your dad, brat," he remarks, continuing to prepare breakfast.

Confused by Bakugou's comment, both Kirishima and Kazumi turn to him, their expressions mirroring each other's puzzled looks.

Bakugou chuckles, taking a seat at the table. "Idiots! Come on, Eijirou! It was obvious! These guys show up out of nowhere, look exactly like some of us, and their quirks are like ours mixed." He gestures with his chopsticks towards Kazumi. "I knew from the second I saw you that you just had to be mine and Eiji's."

Kirishima blinks in surprise, his expression shifting from confusion to realization, and then to a deep shade of red that matches his fiery hair.

"Is that true, Kazumi?" he asks, his voice filled with a mix of disbelief and excitement.

Kazumi nods sheepishly, confirming his suspicions.

Kirishima's initial embarrassment quickly gives way to jubilation. "Kats, a daughter! We're gonna have a daughter! How awesome!" he exclaims, unable to contain his excitement.

Bakugou grins at Kirishima's reaction, feeling a surge of pride as his boyfriend kisses his cheek enthusiastically. Kazumi can't help but giggle at the sight.

However, the joyous moment is quickly tempered by Kazumi's reminder of their need for secrecy. "Well, Aizawa Sensei is gonna kill us. He was very clear when he told us that no one can know," she says, her tone tinged with worry.

Determined to protect their newfound family member, Kirishima pumps his fists together enthusiastically. "Don't worry, Kazumi! We'll protect you!" he declares with unwavering resolve, earning a nod of agreement from Bakugou.

"Thanks, Dads!" Kazumi responds gratefully, feeling a sense of reassurance in their support.

As they continue with their meal, the rest of the class begins to trickle downstairs for breakfast. Hawks unexpectedly makes an appearance, announcing his impending discharge from the infirmary.

"Good morning, just dropping by for a last visit! Recovery Girl says I've recovered enough so she will discharge me this afternoon!" Hawks announces, greeted with congratulatory words from his students.

Tokoyami offers his mentor a smile. "Congratulations, Hawks-Sensei."

Hawks shares a knowing wink with Hato, who grins in return.

Meanwhile, Kazumi eagerly catches up with her best friend Hikki, who recounts the tense atmosphere of her family dinner the previous night.

"So, your dads know?" Kazumi inquires, her curiosity piqued.

Hikki nods solemnly, expressing her apprehension. "Grandpa is gonna kill me," she laments, burying her face in her hands.

Kazumi gently removes Hikki's hands from her face, offering a reassuring anecdote. "If it makes you feel any better, my dads know too. Papa said he knew from the moment we were introduced to Class 1-A."
