Hawks carefully crafted his request for time off, ensuring it appeared as routine as possible. He knew any hint of suspicion could raise questions he wasn't ready to answer. With a steady hand, he typed out the email, his heart pounding with each keystroke. After hitting send, he allowed himself a moment of relief before diving into preparations for his temporary absence.

As the weeks passed, Hawks couldn't ignore the changes happening to his body. His usual sleek figure began to round out, a subtle but undeniable transformation. It wasn't long before the signs of his pregnancy became too apparent to hide, even with loose-fitting clothing.

He keeps catching himself caressing the now visible bump. Surprisingly, Dabi does too, when he thinks hawks is asleep, he caresses his bump and hawks can hear him whispering to their baby, promising them that he will be better than his own father. Hawks cries after Dabi has fallen asleep, remembering the softly spoken words his mate said to their baby.

Everyone awe and coos while Touya tries to hide his embarrassed face.

Hato watches then screen intently, soaking everything up. He loves hearing stories from before his time, but he loves seeing it even more.

One evening, during a gathering with the League of Villains, Hawks noticed their curious glances lingering a little too long on his expanding abdomen. He exchanged a knowing look with Dabi, silently communicating their next steps.

With a shared nod, they took a deep breath and made the decision to confide in their comrades. As the room fell silent, all eyes turned to them, awaiting an explanation for the unexpected development.

"Dabi and I have something to tell you," Hawks began, his voice steady despite the nerves fluttering in his chest. Dabi takes his hand, caressing it gently to calm him. "I'm pregnant."

The revelation hung in the air, met with a mixture of surprise and understanding from their companions. After a moment of stunned silence, Toga was the first to break the tension, her grin widening as she pulled Hawks into a congratulatory hug.

"Congratulations, Hawksie!" she exclaimed, her excitement infectious as the rest of the group joined in, offering their support and well-wishes.

Though relieved to have finally shared their secret, Hawks and Dabi knew their journey was far from over. But with the support of their newfound family, they felt a renewed sense of determination to face whatever challenges lay ahead.

On a particularly rare night devoid of chaos, the League of Villains found themselves with an unusual abundance of free time. With no pressing missions or schemes to attend to, they decided to indulge in a rare luxury: a movie night.

"YEAH!" the League members, excluding Shigaraki, erupted in cheers, their voices blending into a chorus of excitement.

"I love our movie nights!" Toga's voice rang out, filled with genuine enthusiasm.

"Well, except the one," Spinner interjected cryptically, his words laden with insinuation.

Arashi leaned in, curiosity piqued. "Which one?"

Keigo, ever the evasive one, interjected hastily, "Oh, it's nothing. Spinner's just being cryptic for no reason."

Hato, undeterred, turned to his father with an expression of playful insistence. "Come on, Dad, spill the tea!"

"Damn it, Keigo, I can't say no to our kid!" Dabi grumbled in defeat, knowing he was about to reveal an embarrassing secret.

Keigo seized the opportunity to lay down the law, gripping his mate's jacket collar with a menacing glare. "You tell him, and you sleep on the couch."

A bead of sweat trickled down Touya's forehead as he realized the consequences of his confession. With a resigned sigh, he turned back to his son. "Sorry, baby bird."

"Well, I don't care, it's that movie night where Hawksie threw up over all of us on the couch 'cause of his morning sickness!"

"TWICE!" Keigos exasperated shout echoed through the room, punctuating the revelation with a mix of embarrassment and amusement.

Gathering in their makeshift hideout, they transformed their grim surroundings into a cozy haven, rearranging battered furniture to accommodate everyone. Toga and Twice rummaged through their meager collection of DVDs, arguing over which movie to watch.

"Let's watch a romance!" Toga suggested eagerly, holding up a sappy rom-com.

"Are you kidding me? We need something with more action!" Dabi countered, rolling his eyes.

Amidst the debate, Spinner suggested a compromise: a cheesy horror flick that promised equal parts thrills and laughs. The suggestion was met with general agreement, and soon they settled in on the couch, snacks in hand, ready to be entertained.

As the movie began to play, the League's playful banter filled the air, punctuated by bursts of laughter and gasps of mock horror. They traded playful insults and commentary, poking fun at the clichés and absurdities unfolding onscreen.

Toga squealed with delight during the jump scares, clinging to Twice's arm for dramatic effect. Twice, in turn, feigned terror, his theatrical reactions eliciting laughter from the group.

Even Shigaraki, known for his stoic demeanor, couldn't help but crack a smile at the absurdity of it all. For a brief moment, they were just a group of friends enjoying each other's company, the weight of their villainous ambitions temporarily forgotten.

As the credits rolled and the laughter died down, the League lingered on the couch, basking in the warmth of their camaraderie. In that fleeting moment of respite, they found solace and connection amidst the chaos of their lives as villains.

"Reminds me of our movie nights." Hato says, his cousins voicing their agreement.

In the midst of Hawks' pregnancy, each member of the League steps up in their own way to support him through this new chapter of his life.

Dabi, as Hawks' mate, takes on the role of primary caregiver, ensuring Hawks' comfort and well-being. He's there to fulfill cravings, cook nourishing meals, and offer a steady hand and comforting presence whenever Hawks needs it most. With his protective instincts in overdrive, Dabi makes it his mission to shield Hawks from any unnecessary stress or harm.

"Your dad is so smitten." Kazumi chuckles.

"Watch what you're saying you brat!" Touya hisses.

Bakugou glares at him "Hey! Only I can call my daughter a brat you bastard!"

Toga assumes the role of the doting big sister, showering Hawks with affection and attention. She delights in indulging his cravings, accompanying him to doctor's appointments, and providing a listening ear whenever he needs to vent his frustrations or fears. Toga's bubbly personality serves as a beacon of light on even the darkest days, lifting Hawks' spirits and reminding him that he's never alone.

Twice injects some much-needed levity and humor into Hawks' pregnancy journey. He's the master of comic relief, always ready with a joke or a silly prank to make Hawks laugh and forget his worries, if only for a moment. Twice's unwavering support and unwavering loyalty make him a trusted confidant for Hawks, someone he can rely on to be there through thick and thin.

Spinner may not be the most outspoken member of the group, but his quiet strength and steadfast presence provide a sense of stability and reassurance for Hawks. He's always willing to lend a helping hand, whether it's with household chores, running errands, or simply offering a sympathetic ear to listen. Spinner's unwavering support serves as a pillar of strength for Hawks, reminding him that he's surrounded by people who care deeply for him.

Together, the League forms a tight-knit support network around Hawks, offering their own unique forms of support and solidarity as he navigates the ups and downs of pregnancy. With their unwavering love and unwavering support, Hawks knows that he has a family by his side every step of the way.

"Thank you guys, for all your help." Keigo says, smiling softly.

"That's what a family is for Hawksie!" Toga says and once again the league is in a group hug.
