Deku sighed as he woke up in an empty bed. He frowned, he had fallen asleep with Ochako in his arms, hadn't he? Was he so delusional he was inventing pregnancies to feel less alone?" He sighed, no the blankets on her side of the bed were messed up. She had probably just gone to the bathroom. Deku smiled softly to himself, before frowning, was that blood on the bed? Oh no.  All day he had been thinking about what a problem this baby would be, but he didn't want it to go away. He ran down the hall 

"Ochako! Ochako!" he felt tears running down his face as he ran towards the sounds of shuffling in his living room. What was going on? He needed to calm down, maybe Toga had just dropped by.. Ochako hadn't called for help. 
"D-Deku?" she sounded confused, it was probably nothing. The baby could be keeping her up. Deku frowned as he got out to the living room and saw is wife sitting in her chair, drinking tea and watching Allmight cartoons. Odd. She usually didn't watch those without him. 

"Hey mochi. Baby keeping you up?" 
"W-we were- You were-" Ochako shook her head, she was losing her mind. "you shook me awake and asked if we could talk. We went to the living room and had a little date." 
Deku smiled softly at that "Mochi, I just woke up. You must have been sleep walking." He kissed her forehead, thank goodness she hadn't let herself out of the house. "We can have a date though." He kissed her head. Ochako sighed, she supposed that explained how he had been acting. 

"I-I've been having lots of dreams like that lately." she admitted, "you come in through my window and we just spend all night together. Watching tv, and talking. I thought it was because I missed you.."
"Maybe it is." Deku smiled at her, "What happens in your dreams?" 
"Usually we just talk. sometimes we snuggle. You ask me questions. Lots of questions." 
"What kind of questions?" Deku needed to be sure this wasn't anything to be concerned about. 

"Sometimes just the questions you used to ask.. My favorite superhero my favorite color.. Sometimes questions about us. Our marriage."
Deku frowned "Have you ever refused to answer my questions?" 
"Why would I? You know everything about me!" 
"So why would I ask you questions, Mochi?" 
"I don't know it's a dream." 
Deku frowned "I'm going to look around our house for signs of forced entry." 

Ochako nodded, "Okay." 
Deku looking around his house. His blood ran cold as he looked at the window of his bedroom, it had marks that suggested it had been opened with a crow bar. How had he slept as someone broke into his house and took his wife to the living room? He supposed Toga did that very thing frequently enough before he gave her a key that it no longer bothered him. He sighed, well the blood that was on the bed was probably not Ochako's. She wasn't acting like there was anything wrong with the baby. He sighed going to find her in the living room, her old apartment could have easily been broken into too. It was one of his main issues with it. He went to Ochako and sighed. 
"Hey mochi. What exactly did you talk to me about?" 
"Wh-why?" 
"Mochi.. It wasn't me. I think you were talking to someone else, probably with a quirk similar to Toga's." 

Ochako felt her heart sink 
"Do you need a minute?" Deku frowned as his wife started to cry, wrapping his arms around her and kissing her forehead. "Oh mochi, I'm sorry I should have been there. I should have protected you. 

"A villain knew about our baby before you!" Ochako buried her face in his shoulder, as she began to sob. Deku 's blood ran cold. 

"So they do know about the baby?" 
"Yeah. we talked about the baby a lot. I-I was at my wits end. I needed you and you weren't there." 
Deku nodded sadly "So when a look alike showed up, and offered you comfort of course you took it. I get it. I do. I just-we are going to need to think about ways to protect you two." 

Ochako nodded sadly "Okay." 
Deku sighed, she looked so scared.. He hugged her gently "But for right now.. Why don't we watch some cartoons and talk about our baby?" 

"O-okay." She murmured, curling close to him and huffing. Deku sighed, sitting down with her and holding her in his arms. She fell asleep on his shoulder pretty quickly, and he smiled weakly, he had hoped to get to ask more questions, but he didn't want to wake her. So he just sat on the couch, he rubbed her belly gently. He jumped when he felt slight movement, smiling softly as he felt tears begin to streak his face. 

"I'm sorry! I didn't mean to wake you!"  he felt his heart melting. His child was saying hello to him! "I don't think I've ever addressed you directly, but my name is Izuku Midoriya, I'm the number one hero and.. I'm also your dad. And I love you so much! I-I'm sorry we haven't met before now, but I'm not going anywhere ever again." He frowned as Ochako stirred, waking up and looking at him with a weak smile. 
"Were you talking to me?" 
"I was talking to Toshinori." he murmured 

She smiled at him and nodded, kissing his forehead "I'm sorry I fell asleep." 

"No. I think we should go to bed." Deku sighed, leading her to the bedroom where he held her, and watched her sleep. He got out of bed at four, going to call Allmight and tell him what happened. 
"Hello Young Midoriya." Allmight laughed at his feet "Might need to quit calling you that." 
Deku smiled at that, "Call the baby even younger Midoriya maybe." 
"Why are you calling me at four am?" 
Deku sighed "I think a villain was breaking into Ochako's apartment for the passed few weeks and using my appearance to get information out of her. I almost caught them with her last night." 

"What do you mean?" 
"She thought they were dreams.. but I heard her in our living room with someone this morning and there were marks on one of our windows that looked like someone broke in. She said it had been going on since she moved out. I would come and ask her questions." 
Allmight frowned "Is she awake?" 
"No." 
"Alright have her call me when she wakes up." 

Deku nodded "Okay." 

"While I have you.. Uh.. Yesterday your mother and I were driving home and we both saw Nana Shimura on the side of the road." 
Deku frowned, that sounded connected 

"And I looked into it, and it looks like this kind of thing has been happening a lot the past few weeks." 
"Like around the city? Or around the country?" 
"The city." 

Deku nodded with a frown "So do you want to meet up or.." 
"I was going to meet with Iida in a few hours to discuss it if you and Uraraka can make it." 
Deku nodded "Yeah. Of course." he didn't want to drag Ochako into this, but she was the only one who knew everything that they had talked about. 
Allmight sighed "Alright. See you here at ten." 
Deku nodded "Great. Thank you sir." 

"Thank you, Midoriya." 

Deku smiled as he saw his wife coming out to the kitchen. "Good morning ladies." 
Ochako smiled at him and huffed "Good morning Dekukun." she said with a yawn. 
"We are getting breakfast with Iida and Allmight today.." 
"Why?" 

"To talk about what you have been seeing. I guess there have been multiple cases of it in Mustafu over the past few weeks." Deku sighed, the same time his wife moves out of his house crime spikes. Why? Deku sighed 

"Did you start having those dreams before you moved out?" if the villain sensed that his marriage was weak.. It would make sense they would choose that time to strike, and now with his attention split between work and his baby it made a lot of sense. 

"I.. Yeah. I started having them about a week before I moved out." 

Deku nodded "And you told them about the baby, and about our marriage troubles?"

"Yeah.. I was just venting. I thought it was my subconsious." 
"Did it contribute to you leaving?" 

"M-maybe a little." 
Deku nodded, so this was a villain out to ruin his personal life. Villains had attacked his home life before, it happened pretty often, but usually they just tried to kill Ochako. Trying to convince Ochako to leave him? He sighed, shaking his head. It hadn't worked. He was still married to his favorite person and he was going to be a father. Everything was going to be okay. His family was fine.
