Ten years later.......

Bakugo POV:

'Daddy! Wake up! It's morning now!'

'Yeah, Daddy! Wake up!'

I wake up to the faces of my children up in my face. I smile groggily and pull both of them into a strangulating hug. They both scream and giggle as they try and get away. I keep them in place by poking them gently in the ribs.

'No Daddy! It's too early for tickle fights! Don't do it!' The older if the set of twins squeals.

'Well, then you should've let me sleep, right?'

They both just laugh and squirm out of my grip.

'Fine, you win this time.' I sit up in bed and stretch.

'Girls, leave your dad alone! The man needs sleep.' Ochako came in the room, a cup of tea clutched in her hands. I can't help but beam at the sight of her.

'Mommy! Daddy attacked us with tickles!' The younger of the two said.

'Well, that's what you get for waking him up.'

'That's what I said,' I reply, moving to sit on the edge of the bed.

'Daddy, look at Mommy's tummy!' The younger says, going over to her mother and touching her, only just able to reach the bump.

'I know, isn't she beautiful?' I say, going over to my wife and kissing the top of her head, only to be returned with a look that said don't kid yourself, 'Well, you are!'

I crouch down onto my daughters' level, 'Are you two gonna help with the baby? He's going to need you two to teach him lots of things because he won't know how to do anything.'

'We'll be the bestest teachers ever!'

'And bestest sisters!'

I smile, 'That's my girls,' I kiss them both on the cheeks, 'Now go get dressed, you're going to grandma and grandpa's this morning.'

They both cheer before leaving the room in a hurry. I stand up and face Ochako, who gives me a smile. I place my hands on each of her shoulders.

'You've done good, Katsuki Bakugo,' she says, placing a hand against my cheek.

I lean into her touch, 'No, we've done good. You're my driving force, love. I can't do anything without you.'

'Must make me pretty special then,' she says playfully.

I laugh, 'Yeah, pretty special.'

She stands on tip toe and kisses me gently, then more deeply before being pulled away by the sounds of the children coming back in the room.

'Come on Daddy! Get dressed!'

'We've gotta go!'

'You don't mind taking them down you?' Ochako asks. I shake my head.

'No, I don't care,' I turn to the girls, 'Alright, let me get dressed. Go brush teeth and get shoes.'

'Okay!' They say in unison as they rush back out of the room. I go over to the dresser and pull out some jeans and a t shirt, putting them on quickly before going to leave the bedroom.

'Just one more thing, Katsuki,' Ochako says, coming over and kissing me on the cheek, 'I hope you know just how proud I am of you. I love you so much.'

Even after all these years, those words still make butterflies soar in my stomach, and even more so to repeat them back.

I give her a smile and squeeze her hand tight, the hand with the finger I placed a small silver band around nearly seven years before.

'I love you too, Round Face. Forever and always.'
