Notes: Three months. Three months since I updated last. Honestly hate that feeling. I really do.

But Life just has a way of keeping you busy with something precious that you can't help but be happy. Being a father is such an experience while tiring, I wouldn't change it for anything in the world. I want to thank you all for the patience for waiting for this to come.

After the chapter, have more to explain what happened with my schedule. Enjoy!

Stirring in her sleep, Katara hummed in satisfaction to the warmth she felt. Shifting her body, she sighed as an arm pulled her closer, smiling as her forehead pressed against Shoto's cheek. Slowly opening her eyes, she glanced at her boyfriend laying there peacefully, remembering how they were watching a movie late last night before both passed out. She pulled him in for a small hug as well, giggling as he hugged back in his sleep. She really had to admit she was surprised that despite how cold he started or quiet he was, he really did love physical contact all the time.

After a moment she moved aside, yawning and looking out to the light coming through the window. She crawled out of the bed and stared outside, watching as the sun barely crept over the horizon. Several days had passed since she returned from the Iida house for the holidays, and several days since she was offered by them to be more than just a guest in their home. An offer that brought a new closeness to Tenya and everyone else in his family. She couldn't help but smile that they truly did care for her to be included in their lives as well, feeling like she finally found the peace of mind here she needed.

Hearing the groan behind her, Katara smiled and turned back around, walking forward as he woke up. "Goodmorning." She said.

"Hmm..." Shoto muttered before his eyes widened, realizing where he was. "Katara? I fell..." his cheeks reddened slightly realizing what happened. "I... fell asleep in your room again. That really isn't supposed to happen here."

"I don't think Aizawa sensei is going to expel you for a little mistake," Katara sat back on the bed with him. "We just fell asleep. Don't worry."

Sighing, Shoto gave a small shrug. "I guess you're right. "He said, looking over and seeing the new necklace he gave her, still around her neck since he put it on. "It really does look like it belongs there."

"Huh?" she looked at him surprised by what he meant before seeing him smile, noticing where his eyes were aimed. "Oh," She chuckled and touched it, noticing how it felt different than the one she had all those years. "Even if it isn't the one from before, it feels right having something there. And knowing it was from you makes it more special."

"I'm glad you really like it." Shoto responded with a smile... although he couldn't hide the strange feeling inside of him, something she noticed right away.

"Hey, what's wrong?" she asked.

"It's nothing. Just... something in my dreams." Shoto mumbled and sat up. "It's no big deal."
