》Narrator《

After they finished checking out, they put everything into the car and got in themselves. "So what is out little Dumpling making you crave now Izu?" Shoto asked as he got the car started and began to pull out of the parking spot. "I've been craving a lot of spicy and like savory foods." He said as he put a hand on his stomach. "Well, what specifically? No matter what it is I'll either get it or make it for you." Shoto asked. "Well, I've really really been craving like Katsudon with pickles and a bunch of hot sauce on top. Like before I got pregnant I couldn't handle spicy food but now it just sounds so good and it's all I want." He laughed a bit. "Well, I guess that's not too bad. I'll have to run into the store to get a few things. I'll do you one better and I'll even make you homemade Katsudonusing your mother's recipe." He smiled, glancing over at his boyfriend before returning his eyes to the road. "You're the absolute best babe. I don't know what I would do without you." Izuku smiled. The mood swings hadn't quite hit him hard yet, but at times he would get a little emotional. This was definitely one of those times.

After some time of random chatting and driving, Shoto pulled into a parking lot of a grocery store around the corner from their house. "Do you just want to stay in the car and take some time to rest, love?" Shoto asked as he pulled into a parking spot. "Yeah, I'll be fine staying in the car." Izuku looked over at him. Shoto took out the keys and nodded. He put a hand on Izu's stomach and kissed his forehead softly. "Text me if anything happens or you change your mind about what you want." He told him. Izuku nodded in response. "I'll be back soon." Shoto got out and locked the car before walking into the grocery store. Izuku sat there and let his body take a minute to just relax. His kind of icky feeling was coming back, but he wasn't worried because he knew home was literally just around the corner. He gently rubbed his small baby bump. He was bored so he figured the least he could do was try to get the baby kicking or moving again. He applied pressure in certain spots and then took his hand away. He waited for a good bit before finally feeling a small kick. He giggled a little. He was so excited to be having a baby. It was just taking a toll on him. He never really handled being sick well before being pregnant, so obviously his body wasn't not liking this. However, he knew it would be worth all of the pain and awful feelings in the end. Izuku then laid back and closed his eyes. About a bit Izuku opened his eyes to the sound of the car being unlocked and one of the doors to the back seat being opened. "Sorry it took me so long, I decided to get some other things I thought you might like and want later on," Shoto said as he loaded the bags into the car. "Awww, how thoughtful baby." Izuku smiled a little and glanced back at him. He loved how this pregnancy made him even softer than he was normally. Shoto then put the cart away and got into the car. "Are you still okay love?" Shoto asked as he started the car. "Yeah, I'm still fine babe. I managed to get the baby to kick like once." He told him as he sat up a bit. "Awww, that's so cute. Maybe after you eat we can go lay down and see if we can get little dumpling to move." He told him as he started to make his way back onto the main road. "Yeah! That sounds amazing!" Izuku seemed to really like that idea.

Once they were back home Shoto got everything out and took it inside. Izuku got out and made his way back inside and to their room. He changed out of the outfit he was wearing back into the very oversized hoodie and boxers he was wearing before. He stretched a bit and decided to lay down for a bit while Shoto cooked. Once Shoto got the actual meal for him started he brought all of the baby items and a couple of snacks he got for him to the bedroom. "I figured you might want to get baby stuff situated already, and I brought snacks as well to tie you over until I finish your special Katsudon," Shoto said in his usual calm and loving voice. "Awww, thank you, my love." He sat up and patted the bed next to him for Shoto to place everything down. Izuku rubbed his eyes a bit and yawned. Once the bags were set down Izuku started taking all of the baby's things out. "I got a couple of small snacks that I thought you might like. "Basically just some chips and some ginger ale to help you relax a bit," Shoto told him with a small smile. "Yay sounds good. I haven't been able to keep down a lot of food recently, but I appreciate your effort." Izuku told him. "Well I figured it wouldnt hurt to try to keep it down. It's my job to make sure that you're providing properly for our little dumpling." Shoto said as he sat down in front of him and gently set his hand on his bump. "I really hope our baby gets your love for helping." Izuku giggled a little. It always floored him how Shoto could completely just turn his mood around. After they sat there for a few moment Shoto got up and got Izuku's food. Izuku ate once it was brought to him and then laid down. "I love you." Izuku mumbled to Shoto before his eyes closed. "Sleep tight, my love." Shoto said softly.
