Life After Hope's Peak

Chapter 11 - The News

*Kyoko's pov*

I waited until the morning to tell Byakuya and Asahina about the baby. I got up early and went to cook breakfast for everyone. Toko surprisingly got up with me and came down stairs to help me in the kitchen. I cooked eggs, sausages and toast for everyone. Whilst I was busy Toko sat on the kitchen counter next to me and watched me.

"W-what's with the gloves?" She asked whilst I was cracking the eggs into the frying pan "You've always worn them"

I looked at her and made sure the eggs were okay before I took the glove off my right hand, the flesh on my hands had been badly burned and scared.

"I was badly injered in an investigation long before I entered Hope's Peak, it left its scar on me and now I hide it from everyone, I was careless which caused me to end up with a permanent mark" I told her.

She stared at my hand for a while until I put my glove back on "the other one is exactly the same" I told her as I tended to the eggs.

"H-honestly that took more balls than anyone I've ever known to reveal that" she said.

I smiled at her but then got back to cooking.

"Could you set the table?" I asked her.

She nodded and got down off the counter and took the cutlery through into the dinning room. The kitchen counter was literally everyones perching place when someone was busy in the kitchen. Breakfast was now almost done so it was time to go and wake up everyone.

One by one I knocked on their doors and shouted "Breakfast is ready!" I then opened the door so they would have to get up.

Slowly everyone made their way down stairs and into the dining room. Last down was of cause Byakuya and as he slumped into his chair Toko brought him a plate of food. I gave the other two a plate each before going back into the kitchen and grabbing glasses with some orange juice. I placed that on the table then I took my own plate of food into the dining room to join them all. We ate in silence, I was waiting for a good time to tell them all about the baby.

After everyone had finished I piped up "Me and Makoto have something we need to tell you two, I am going to be having a baby"

The pair of them looked at me shell shocked and Byakuya's jaw dropped open.

"Was that why you've been being sick?" Hina asked.

"Probably" I replied.

"When did this even become a thing?" Asked Byakuya.

"A few months ago but the pregnancy was an accident" Makoto told them.

"Where will it stay I mean it will need its own room" Asahina brought up.

That was a good point we hadn't even thought about that.

"M-Makoto will just have t-to share our room" Toko said.

Everyone fell silent and Makoto looked at me.

"I guess that could work" I finally said.

I mean it wasn't ideal but it was the best we were going to get.

"How far along are you?" Byakuya  asked.

"Probably around 3 months" I said as I looked at him.

"How did you even manage to keep this so quiet?" asked Asahina.

"Not very easily" I told them truthfully.

There was a long akward paused before I asked "Do any of you mind me having a baby? This is your house too"
