Katsuki was now a month and three weeks into his pregnancy, and it definitely wasn't easy. Especially when finals week at school came, he had a throbbing headache through most of the tests. 

But he managed to pass all of them with flying colors, which came to no surprise. He was the senior class valedictorian and that was what he strove to be all of his high school career. 

But by the time they were graduating he would be 6 months pregnant and maybe wouldn't be the best person to speak out for their class. But, it was still his dream. 

School was definitely most difficult, and home life wasn't any more easy. Especially with him and his dad just having to keep this weird secret from his mother, Mitsuki knew something was wrong with her son but hated to confront, and she would also be furious finding out about her son's intimacy before the age of eighteen. 

She was always really weird about Katsuki though, she also had some abusive tactics. Whether that be emotionally or even at times physically. It wasn't easy to live with her all his life, but he made it work. 

But he couldn't think m about her reaction now, he had multiple tests to study for and he couldn't be at school. The whole morning he'd been sick and just decided to work from home, to make it easier for himself, and so his classmates didn't have to hear his loud gagging and dry heaving when nothing would come up. 

So, that's why a lot of the time when he felt nauseous he'd just drive himself home and make sure that instead, his father had to deal with the disgusting noises. 

"Hey, dad? Can I have some help on something?" Katsuki didn't need help with anything for school, it was more of a personal question that could wait, but Kat has recently become more of a immediate person, needing constant answers. He just needed reassurance a lot. 

Masaru was tidying up the house, but he rushed over when he heard his son call for him. He was much more on edge and panicked when it came to things. "Yes? What's wrong? Water? Snacks? Literally anything?" He asked, trying to catch his breath. Damn, their house was definitely huge. 

The teen just looked to his father as he blinked, he didn't understand why his dad worried so much, it's not like he was hurting himself. He had a past of it, but he had gotten much better. "I'm fine. Stop worrying so much, save that for the third trimester please." He huffed out and turned around in his seat. "I was thinking. What should I do? I'm getting far enough in this.. Dilemma, I'm wondering what should come of it. Adoption? Or keeping it. Abortion, again, out of the question by far." 

"Oh, I wasn't expecting you to ask this until a few more months. But, it's really up to you, no one can make the decision for you; you keep it, great. You give it up for adoption, also great." He shrugged, pulling up a chair to sit face to face with his son. 

A hum came from katsuki, he didn't exactly know what to think in this situation. It was all up to him? Really? "Well, I just need some guidance. I'm really smart with things, and I mean really smart! I'm the top of my class in the whole school, I was even as a freshman. It's almost groundbreaking, but it's so much to think about and it stresses me out. I would rather figure it out now rather than agree to something and then back out."

A shrug followed, his dad was a bit clueless on what he was supposed to think. "I'm conflicted as well, both the decisions are good ones. Not one is better than the other. You get some more freedom with the whole adoption, but then you also get to have a living being with you if you decide to keep it." He sighed, he didn't even know what his answer should be. Because they weren't struggling financially and could support Katsuki.
