Ren sits in her bed. After Katsuki had made her sit in the shower, the other girls had come and kicked him out. They had cleaned up the mess, helped her deliver the baby and washed her up. They were kind and gentle. Many of them knew the pain of loosing a child. There were memorials all over the grounds to those lost children.

Ren knew she had to pull herself together. She had a class to teach and take care of. It's not the first child she's lost, so she should be use to it by now. But it seems it never gets easier.

She takes a deep breath and stands from her bed before changing into a pair of pants and a loose fitting shirt. She threw her hair into a messy bun before moving out of the room and down to the kitchen where she proceeded to make a big breakfast for everyone.

"What are you doing?" Katsuki frowns as he walks into the kitchen to find his mother cooking.

"Making breakfast. Go wake the rest of the brats. It should be done soon and I want everyone at the table."

"You should be resting." He frowns and moves to take the spatula from her.

"I can't.. please just do as I ask?" She looks down at him, a small, sad smile on her lips.

Katsuki stops and pulls his hand away. Ren has always said cooking made her feel better. She said it's where she was most content, well one of the places she was most content.

Breakfast is a quiet affair. No one wants to say anything to upset the woman sat at the head of the table. They're all waiting for her to, well they're not sure what.

"Ren? Your husband is here." One of the many women living under the roof says as she moves into the dining area.

"Toshi? Did he say why?" She wipes her mouth and sets her napkin on the table.

"No, but he seemed upset.." She tells her. Katsuki flinches and looks down at his plate. At the other end of the table Hizashi rubs the back of his neck guiltily and Snipe looks anywhere but in the young woman's direction.

"Thank you." She moves out of the room and to the lounge where she knows he will be waiting. "Toshi?" She frowns as she spots him sitting in a chair frowning. It wasn't often the man frowned, so it was strange and Ren knew something was wrong. He wasn't crying so she knew Hisoka was okay.

"Why didn't you tell me?" He stands and looks her in the eyes.

Ren frowns and tilts her head. "Tell you what? Toshi, I'm not sure what you're talking about."

"You've had four miscarriages.. you had one last night and I wasn't there for you... I didn't know about the other two either. You suffered through them alone.."

Ren sucks in a breath and looks away. "Who told you?" She whispers not able to look her husband in the eyes.

"It doesn't matter. Why didn't you tell me Ren?" He moves towards his wife. Ren back away and shakes her head.

"When we lost our first baby you were heartbroken. I had never seen you so upset before. I couldn't put that burden on you again. So I hid the two after that and dealt with them how I deal with everything that hurts... I was protecting you from the pain of knowing. Last night.. I didn't even know I was pregnant.."

"You were protecting my feelings.. but what about you? You've been carrying this burden.. this.. hole.. and I never knew.. I never noticed.." his frown deepens and Ren hates herself for it.

"I'm sorry.. I'm so sorry Toshi.. don't.." Her lip trembles and she moves towards him. The moment she's within reach he pulls her into his arms and they just cling to each other.
