Pack Means Family

Pups Are Trauma Experts

It was around lunch when the trio of boys were led into the hospital.   Nemuri and Emi met them in the lobby.

"Mama! Ma!" Katsuki cried as he raced for the women.   He skidded to a stop when he spotted Emi's arm in a cast and sling.   Tears welled up in his eyes and he hugged himself as he stepped backwards.  

"Oh, come here puppy," Emi said as she crouched down.   "Ma's gonna be okay.   A hug from my baby would really help."

"I'll hurt you," the boy sniffled, eyes locked on the cast.   "Broken arms hurt..."

Nemuri crouched beside her mate.   "Granny took away a lot of the pain already.   I promise that your ma is okay to hug.   In fact, Granny told us that the more hugs and cuddles you can give, the quicker she'll heal."

Katsuki slowly inched forward.   The blond was extremely gentle as he finally hugged Emi.  The green haired alpha pulled him close and tight.

"See," she smiled, nuzzling his hair.   "I feel better already."

Katsuki cried against her shoulder, clinging to her.   He barely registered as Nemuri helped Emi lift him and adjust her hold so she could carry him close.

"You boys ready to see your dads?" Nemuri asked her nephews who nodded, looking worried.  

She motioned them to follow and led them deeper into the hospital and then up to a recovery floor set aside specifically for heroes.   It had more security to prevent villains as well as fans from getting to recovering heroes.  They made their way down the hall to a room where Hitoshi could hear the parents talking.  He and Izuku started walking faster.

Nemuri opened the door and let the boys walk in.   Aizawa lay in the hospital bed, leg in a cast and resting on a small pile of pillows.   Yamada was seated beside the bed, gauze covering the burns he had on his arms.

"Papa? Dad?" Hitoshi whispered, eyes wide.

"Hey there, pup," Yamada smiled.   "You can come closer."

"There's my brave boys," Aizawa smiled, still groggy from the surgery.   

Hitoshi walked closer, nervous as he stared at them.   "You're hurt..."

"Oh, baby boy," Yamada smiled as he pulled Hitoshi into his lap.   "We're heroes.   We'll get hurt sometimes when we go out to save people.   I'm happy we were able to save our friends."

Izuku stared, eyes wide and terrified.  Aizawa watched Hitoshi turn and cling to Yamada, then turned his eyes towards his youngest son.

"Izuku, come here," he said softly, holding out his hand.   He smiled as Izuku moved forward slowly until he was at the bedside.   "There's my brave omega with claws.   I'm so proud of you.   You were so brave to let us know what was going on.   We were able to save Ekko and her pack because of you."

Izuku blinked big eyes up at him, then whimpered and gently tapped the bed.   Power Loader moved forward and lifted the boy up so he could move to curl up with his dad.   He whimpered softly, pointing at the leg.

"That?" Aizawa smiled.  "I promise it doesn't hurt.   I was just being stupid."

"Your dad chased one of the bad guys out the window," Yamada said as he snuggled Hitoshi.  "And he was so focused on stopping them to save the kids that he tripped and fell!"

"That's right...make me sound so graceful," Aizawa groaned even as Katsuki snickered.

"Shou, you face planted on the sidewalk," Yamada smirked.   "And broke your leg in three places doing it."
