You Deserve it All

Chapter 10

MIDORIYA'S POV

"Everything alright?" Kacchan had been sorting through his bills and finances for over an hour. I tried to leave him to it, but curiosity got the better of me.

He grabbed my waist and pulled me to his lap. "My lawyer got back with me today about the custody of the kids," he grumbled into my shoulder. "She's asking for backpay for everything she's had to buy for the kids."

"Isn't that what your child support has been for?" I asked.

"Yeah, but she's threatening to take Evan back and take me to court for the boys. Evan's dad already signed away his rights; she lost custody, so it isn't up to her. It's up to the courts, and I'm almost positive that Evan will stay here for good."

"So take her to court. She isn't going to win the boys. You already have emergency custody, and I guarantee she won't win." There's no way that she'll win—not unless she agrees to go to rehab and change her life.

"Daizen left already, right?" he asked.

"Yeah. It's just us and Evan." Evan was in her bouncer in the other room, playing with her handheld piano.

"She wants me to pay ten million per kid, or she's taking me to court," he muttered.

"Ten million?" I scoffed. "There's no way she's spent ten million per kid. Besides, that's illegal, you know." Every time I think that I couldn't possibly hate her more, she does something like this.

His arms wrapped around my waist and squeezed me tightly. "But she..." he trailed off. He sounded absolutely broken, and I have no idea what was tearing him up this badly.

"Kacchan?"

"If she takes me to court, I will have to take a paternity test. My name is on Daizen's birth certificate, but I never signed it because I wasn't there. I was on a mission, if you remember. I missed the first three weeks of his life."

I turned my body and tossed my legs over his so I could sit sideways. "Okay, but what does that—" Then it hit me. "Oh my god, you don't think Daizen is your biological son?"

"I don't know," he admitted. We divorced because she had an affair, but that wasn't the first one. Hell, it wasn't even the second one. The first one, she said, was three months before Daizen was conceived. But he came a month early and wasn't preemie size." I remember him coming early. Kacchan was supposed to be home before he was born, but he was still away.

"It made me think that she lied about the affair. I didn't know about it until she was pregnant with the twins, and by that point, it didn't matter. Daizen was my son, and he always will be. But if we go to court and take that paternity test..." he trailed off.

"If you're not the father, you won't be able to obtain sole custody because he'll have a biological father who would need to sign off on it." He squeezed me tighter. "You really think he could be someone else's?"

"He doesn't look like me at all. He doesn't have a single one of my features. Where the hell did his quirk come from? It didn't come from my side of the family, and it didn't come from Rachel's." The twins have the same quirk, which is a combination of Kacchan and Rachel's quirks. Daizen's quirk was always a mystery, but his not being Kacchan's makes the most sense.

"I was going to tell Rachel that I'm not adopting Evan so that I won't pay for her. I've been trying to move things around to afford the thirty million." He showed me his laptop, which had his bank account open. He didn't even have a third of it. It didn't matter how much he moved around. He would have to sell his house and cars to even come close.
