Tenko pressed a gloved hand carefully against the swell of Inko's belly. His red eyes were wide in amazement. The boy gasped. "It moved!" Inko smiled. She always smiled with them… and with Hisashi.
Her husband was… different from what Dabi was used to. He made weird jokes and asked after his interests. He couldn't cook but tried anyway, roping in him and Tenko to try with him. He didn't use his quirk and doted after Inko constantly, treating her sweets and holding her hand while they worked. The air around him felt light and peaceful.
Dabi felt someone take his hand. "Dabi, would you like to feel the baby kicking?" He nodded to Inko and inched a bit closer. "His name is going to be Izuku. Are you excited to have a little bro- another playmate?"
He glanced over to Tenko who was nodding vigorously. Dabi shrugged. He had other siblings before. It wasn't that amazing. Inko pat his head. "Hisashi and I found a nice house with a yard. You'll be able to have your own rooms. Won't that be nice."
"Mrs- Inko." Dabi wrung his hands together, his flames trickling over his knuckles. "Is, is the baby what you wanted?" Are you going to keep us?
Inko blinked in surprise, the smile vanishing. "Yes, I've wanted children for a long time. I'd like to consider you both my children as well, if that's what you'd like."
He hesitated for just a moment. "I would."
