    Katsuki walks into the living room and sees Deku playing with the baby girl, who looks just like him, Usagi.
  "She really likes you." Deku looks up at Katsuki.
   "Y-You think so?" He lightly blushes. "I'm glad, it kinda feels like I'm a big brother."
   "Midoriya I need to ask a favour."
   "What is it Bakugo-kun?"
   "I have to go into work on a very important mission, but Shoto won't be back until dinner time, is there any way you could help me out with picking up the kids?"
   "Sure, just tell me where to go!" Deku smiles brightly "Would it be okay to take them to a park after I pick them up?"
   "...... As long as your back before Shoto, he'll probably get worried if no ones home."
   "Okay I'll do my best to beat him."

Later that day
   "Katsuki, kids, I'm home!" Shoto calls out, but no one replies "That's odd, is no one home?" He walks around looking for his family, but no is home. Shoto pulls out his cellphone and callsKatsuki.
   "What do you want?" Katsuki sounded kinda worried.
   "I was just wondering where you and the kids are... Is everything okay?"
   "I was called into work for a very important mission.... Midoriya said he would pick the kids up from school and watch them until you got home."
   "Well they're not here."
   "He said he was going to take them to the park. He was supposed to beat you home though...."
   "Don't worry. I'll just go to the park. Do you know whi-" the door opens
   "Oh, hello Todoroki-kun." Deku smiles "It seems you beat us home." The kids start walking in and greeting their Papa.
    "Never mind, they're back. I'll see you when you get home." They hang up. "Busy day?"
"He picked us up then took us to a park." Inko said, sounding very annoyed by this.
"It was really fun Papa!" Akauri said happily "Midoriya has a really cool quirk too Papa!"
"You used your quirk in public?!" Shoto sounds angry, his fire showing a bit.
"T-Todoroki-kun please calm down, nobody was around!"
"SOMEBODY IS ALWAYS WATCHING!" He's now covered in flames. Usagi starts crying and the oldest 3 took that as a sign to gather the younger siblings and take them to another room.
"I-I-I'm sorry To-"
"I don't think you under that you put my family at risk! Everyone here know that our Izuku doesn't have a quirk, what if someone saw you without you knowing?! They're going to know something's up!"
"...." Deku  takes a breath before walking out the door, Shoto follows him, his flames dying down due to the wind.
   "Where do you think your going?! I'm not done talking!" He grabs Deku's wrist only to have it slapped away.
   "I'm not your child, I don't have to listen to you!" He glares  "I get that you're upset, but I don't appreciate you acting like that especially in front of your kids. They didn't have to see that side of you!"
   "I...." he sighs "You're right... I just lose it when it comes to the safety of them..."
   "Todoroki-kun, I would not put them in danger and if something would to happen, just know I would fight with everything I've got to keep them safe. Unlike your Izuku, I have a quirk. I'm sorry I used it in such a public area, I won't do it in the future while I'm here."
   "My kids are my life...."
   "I understand that."
   Shoto's phone rings
   "Oh no.... it's Katsuki..."
   "Did the kids tell him?"
   "Most likely" he picks up
   "WHY THE HELL DID YOU GO ALL ENDERAVOUR IN FRONT OF OUR KIDS?!" Katsuki was so loud that even Deku could hear him.
   "Katsuki I-"
   "I'M ON MY WAY HOME NOW!"
    "What about your mission,? You said it was very important!"
    "ARE YOU FUCKING STUPID?! NOTHING IS MOR IMPORTANT THAN MY FAMILY'S WELL BEING!" He hangs up
    "I'm dead."
   "Did he call you Endeavour?"
   "Whenever my temple gets bad he'll call me by my father's hero name....."
    "Why his name?"
    "To let me know I'm in the wrong."
    "Sorry I got you in trouble."
     "No, it was my fault."
    "Dad was is on his way home." Inko walks out crossing her arms "He didn't sound too pleased with your behaviour Papa."
   "You called him on me?"
   "Yes, you made Usgai cry, that is unforgettable."
   "Midoriya, would you help me out with dinner?"
   "Uh, sure..." he walks past Shoto.
    Once they are in the kitchen Inko sighs and looks at the green haired man.
   "May I ask you something."
   "Uh, sure, what is it?"
   "You.... You don't have any children of your own, right?" Deku nods his head.  "So I don't exist in your world..."
   "Well I wouldn't say that.... True you are not mine and Todoroki-kun's child in my world, but who's to say you aren't someone else's child. I mean take me for instance, I'm single and the number one hero in my world, but here I'm a mother of 11 amazing kids and married my childhood friend, along with a good friend from high school. I don't think that would even be possible for me in my world, but I'm kinda glad this was the outcome for me in this world, it even makes me a little jealous." Deku chuckles softly
    "....." she looks away, hiding her face. "Do you really think I exist?"  Deku is very confused by this.
   "Sure! It's very much possible, don't you think so too?" He smiles brightly, but Inko doesn't look happy at all. "Is everything okay Inko-chan?"
   "I don't know....." she walks to the fridge and takes out some meats and vegetables.  "How about...." tears start falling from her eyes "Beef stew... For tonight..."  Deku quickly takes the items from the 15 year old, placing them on the counter top before rushing back to her.
   "What's wrong? Are you hurt? Is there something in your eyes? Should I get your Papa?" Deku is looking at her face trying to see if anything is wrong with it.
    "No, I'm fine.... Please stop..."  she lightly pushes him away as she wipes her tears.  "I don't know what happened, but I'm okay..." she walks away from him and starts to chop up the vegetables.
   "Inko-chan?" She stops cutting, slamming her hands on the counter top.
   "Just don't!" She raises her voice, Deku stares at her shocked ".... Please Midoriya.... Just stop..."
    "Inko-chan... I'm sorry if I upset you, but I honestly don't know what I said wrong."
   "You didn't say anything bad...." she takes a breath "It just sounded like something my mom would say..... I guess I miss him more than I thought." She looks down, feeling guilty.
   "It okay to feel sad or lonely sometimes, missing your mom is perfectly okay, but holding your feelings in isn't good. It can actually make it worse. Have you talked to your parents about this?"
   "I... I don't want them to feel guilty for how I feel...." she looks up at him.
    "I think it would actually make happy if you told them. I mean I'm happy that you open up to me." He smiles and pats her head  "Shall we start cooking?" Inko nods and they work together to make the stew for everyone. Little did they know, Shoto was right around the corner, listening to the conversation.

     Katsuki is still upset with Shoto for scaring the kids, but he chose to wait until after all the kids were asleep to bring it up. Right now the adults are in the living room, Shoto and Deku are sitting on the opposite sides of the couch, whil Katsuki is standing next to a one sitter chair.
   "I'm sorry." Shoto holds his head down. "I know I was I was in the wrong for this."
   "But it was my fault for usi-"
   "I don't care what started! I care that you lost control in front of our kids! You made the children feel uncomfortable in their own home, Inko was the only one would was brave enough to call me and I've never herd her so upset before.... I thought something really bad had happened..."  Katsuki sighs as he sits down.
    "I feel really bad about that.... I never wanted to create that type of atmosphere for them." He holds his head down in shame.
   "Stop beating yourself up and fix it then!" Katsuki scolds Shoto.
   "Right. I'll make sure to make it up to them."
   "I think this is really hard on everyone..." Deku said to himself out loud by accident.
   "Midoriya.... Is Inko okay? She never opens up to me or Katsuki, only her mother."  Deku looks at the two other men in the room.
   "Yes?"  'It's not my place to say, but...'  "I hope we can find you Izuku soon though...." the two stare at him "It's just- It has to be hard on them you know?!" He starts to get nervous.
   "Right," Katsuki sighs "I'm going to bed, night." He gets up and walks away.
   "Yeah me too, I'm tried." Deku goes to the guest room. Shoto just sits on the couch, not wanting to move at the moment.
   'I think I'll just sleep here tonight.' He closes his eyes and drifts off.
