Chapter 37

Sometimes Toshinori would be lucky if their child kicked in the womb while his thin face gently rested against his wife's stomach when they laid in bed for the night.

Months were passing as quickly as the seasons were changing, and their little one was growing bigger and bigger as time progressed. (Y/N) was glowing in her pregnancy, both in a literal sense and as well in her heart, for finally having the change at being a mother.

This however did not stop Toshinori and her doctors for having mild worry about her well being since she got pregnant at an older age than the majority of mothers. As she was in her later thirties and nearing her forties this of course led to a better chance at birth complications that could potentially risk the life of both mother and baby. Due to this risk, which still at her age was very small, the couple made sure to stay very commutative with their doctors, follow every recommendation they had, and took all the prenatal vitamins as prescribed by the doctors to ensure the best outcome for this pregnancy.

Despite these concerns, the months the woman experienced during her pregnancy was very uneventful. She simply had to go through the process of being a first-time mom, thankful that she had her loving husband Toshinori at her side. They could relate very well to each other in this sense, as he himself would be a first-time father.

The man, while his wife was handling the biggest portion of the pregnancy, did all he could make her comfortable while her body went through changes, her moods shifted, and keeping everything grounded around them while their world slowly was about to change. All the heavy lifting of anything, whether it be something with yard work in their backyard or even a heavy dish of food for supper, was all done by him as soon as they found out she was carrying. Toshinori fretted over his wife even more so than usual, and perhaps even more than he did when she was terribly injured in her big fight some years back. While his actions were all in good conscious (Y/N) sometimes had to shake her head at how ridiculously protective he acted over her.

She was pregnant, silly. Not broken.

This however did not stop her doting husband to do his research and gather knowledge regarding the in's and out's of pregnancy and parenting through the internet and books he was able to get his hands on. Though reading up on this information did help him understand (Y/N's) pregnancy a bit easier, the retired man knew that text on a screen or in a book couldn't hold a candle to talking about his concerns and asking the proper questions to someone who had actual experience in the baby department.

The blonde man reluctantly sought advice from an old colleague of his, a man who was currently holding his place as the number one hero in Japan.

Endeavor, being one of the least likely to be reliable sources Toshinori found, had a lot to say about the topic.

"Humph...despite my opinions of you old man you've done well to taking care of your wife already during her pregnancy. There's not much advice I can give you." the red haired hero muttered gruffly through the phone, sitting alone in his office at his hero agency. The sky outside was drifting to gray, signifying the high probability of rain coming that evening. The hero had just about prepared to make his leave for his large estate when he had gotten the call from the retired hero, making him drop everything at that moment.

While Endeavor, the hellfire hero always seemed to make a big stink over All Might and his success, constantly comparing himself to the man and stepping all over others to try and reach the other man's near impossible level, there was a hidden respect there that was never really admitted. Maybe this was why the man with the flaming facial hair took time out of his day to help the retired hero out with his queries, even with the bickering.
