TODOROKI
I flip over the burgers that I'm currently cooking on the grill. I don't want to burn them as I like my burgers medium. I can now see why my mom has been coming here with the babies in the past couple of months. The weather is finally not too hot where the kids can enjoy themselves. I can feel Midoriya giddiness causing me to look over at him.
"Good job Yuri!" he exclaims. Yuri is standing on his lap as he holds her up by her hands. She is giggling causing him to smile more. Her cute little freckles are lighting up with her pigtails swinging as she balances herself on Midoriya's legs. Her hair is so thick but curling under a little. I feel so proud seeing her green hair and red ends. A perfect blend of Midoriya and I. My mom just got done setting up the child fence to keep the kids in. They are just about 6 months old now. Midoriya and our children are inside the fence playing on the blanket.
"This should keep them from wandering too far," she explains to my mate.
"Thank you!" exclaims Midoriya. "We should certainly do this more often." I agree this is really nice. Makes me wish we did something like this when I was a kid. Midoriya and I finally got them all on a schedule. We both have a good balance in making sure we are home every afternoon. The only time we are late is if someone is doing something criminal and we need to step in. When I say step in meaning our skills are highly needed. Thank god Midoriya is known as the upcoming symbol of peace. This has helped the criminal activity die back down. My mother leaves Midoriya with our children walking over to me.
"Are you doing okay today Shouto?" she asks. I nod my head yes. I am so glad I have my mother here to care for my children. I plan to change my hours when the children start school. I want to be home in the afternoon when they get there although I know my mother could be there to help it out I want to spend time with our children. "Things are going so well with you and your mate?"
"Much better than I could ever have hoped with us being young parents," I replied. Midoriya is my fated mate. We didn't know this when we met. Our children were conceived the first day I mated him during his heat. It's such a long story but one I definitely would love to tell our children in the future. Edit version of course. "How are you today mom?"
"I'm doing well," she smiles. I'm jealous of how she looks so carefree but I looked older than I am due to being a father. I can scent her nervousness causing me to become curious.
"Is there something bothering you?" I ask checking our burgers quickly before turning back to her. I'm not used to seeing her so nervous. Mother clasped her hands together before looking up at me. "I invited a guest today to join us with the BBQ."
"What?" I question in surprise. My mother barely leaves the house. She is doing much better than when she first arrived at our home. She barely left but I chopped it up to the kids being young that she didn't want to take them out. Soon as they hit 3 months she started to venture out in the SUV we purchased. Midoriya and I carpool to work so this works out for us for the time being. My mother blushes and I now know this has to be a love interest. "You're dating someone?"
"Not dating exactly," she replies. "I just want to see how things will go…..please keep an open mind Shouto."
"Of course I will," I reply flipping my burgers. I think it is great my mom is stepping out of her comfort zone. She hasn't had a real mate in 20 years plus years.
"Thank you," she replies softly with her white hair blowing in the breeze.
"How did you meet them?" I ask. Mom chuckles.
"It's a man and I will explain more once he arrives," she replies. I don't know why she is being so secretive about this. I want my mother to enjoy herself and the things she missed out on. Especially since my father had her in that damn home for years until I got her out. She walks away with Midoriya leaving the little play are coming over to me.
"Hey…." he says grabbing my hand. "You feel agitated." I nod my head yes. Being bonded allows him to feel my emotions. Sometimes he can dig deeper but most times it's not necessary.
"Mom invited some guy here," I reply.
"She's dating?" questions Midoriya in surprise. Glad to know he didn't know this as well.
"I'm not upset with her not telling me," I explain. "I just feel like she was trying to keep it a secret."
"I understand your feelings," replies Midoriya. "I mean when does she have time to go on dates?"
"They aren't officially according to her," I explain. "I can tell she is liking him though. I could scent her high feelings of closeness to him."
"I'm glad," he replies. "She deserves all the happiness in the world." I nod in agreement. I grab the plate seeing that the meat is ready. Midoriya kisses my cheek before joining my mom once again. I throw some hot dogs on the grill when my phone rings. I see Bakugou is calling me. He never calls me. I answer of course curious to know what he has to say.
"Hello," I greet.
"What the fuck are you doing?" asked Bakugou. I'm use to his tone at this point. I can picture that damn scowl on his face.
"I'm grilling with my family in the park," I reply. "Enjoying this late May weather, I hope this is not work related."
"It's not," he replies. I can hear his voice shaking a little. It was small but enough for me to catch it. I can't baby him about it. It's not my thing plus he hates that.
"What can I assist you with?" I ask calmly.
"Fuck….." mutters Bakugou. "Um, I wanted to know uh like…shit!" This must be serious. He never stumbles over his words. "This is alpha to alpha so don't go getting any ideas okay!" I don't say anything waiting for him to continue. "Good. Um, when Midoriya got knocked up did you pull out?"
"Hell no!" I exclaim with my alpha flexing. Midoriya was our mate. I would never pull out. I clear my throat gathering myself remembering I'm outside. "You have to remember Midoriya and I had a different situation. I honestly forgot to wrap things up."
"Goddamnit!" shouts Bakugou.
"I'm assuming something similar happened to you?" I ask. I can hear his quirk of explosions going off in the background.
"Uggghhh…" he groans. "I forgot to grab a condom but I did pull out though." I raise an eyebrow.
"How were you able to do that?" I ask curiously. "What about your knot?"
"I pulled out before it expanded idiot," he replies. I fold my arms making sure my spatula doesn't touch my clothes.
"You do know we ejaculate before the climax," I explain.
"Shut up!" he snaps. "I fucking know that!"
"Then why are you calling me?" I ask. I know why he is calling me. He needed someone to talk this out with. Bakugou bonded to his best friend and boyfriend Kirishima which means this is not something he trusts Kirishima with. He talks to Kirishima about everything.
"Do you think I knocked him or whatever?" he asked. I think carefully remembering Mirio Midoriya's previous mating partner pulled out and he didn't get pregnant, thank god. Midoriya is my fated and can only have children by me.
"There is a chance you did," I reply. "Not going to sugar coat it for you. If you stop knotting him you will have all the answers to your main question."
"Thank god," he huffs. "I'm still knotting him."
"You should be good," I reply. "For now…"
"What's that suppose to mean?" asked Bakugou.
"I can't give sound advice," I reply. "As I said, Midoriya and I situation are different." Midoriya and I being the first fated pair in over 150 years we are still learning things as we go along. He was pregnant immediately. I recall health class saying most mates have to wait 4 weeks to really know if they are pregnant. I never knotted Midoriya because he was pregnant during the time we bonded. For someone who had high marks, Bakugou remembers only what he wants to. I guess he figured this wasn't so important to remember.
"Fuck….." he mutters. "I don't have time for this shit….I mean look at you. You look like you're 40, you're tired all the time, got fucking grays popping up….."
"I don't look 40," I state appalled. "What gray hair!"
"Whatever," he replies. "If I can get a damn freebie I'm taking it!" I roll my eyes knowing he is not going to answer my damn question. I don't really have gray hair, do I?
"Good for you," I reply.
"Later Icy Hot," he states ending the call. I sighed putting my phone up. I get back cooking. Once everything is done I plate my mom and husbands food making my way over.
"You guys can eat first while I watch the kids," suggests mom.
"You can eat first," I reply. "I can watch them." Midoriya stands up taking a plate.
"Aren't you hungry?" he asks.
"I snuck in a hot dog while cooking," I reply. Midoriya chuckles. I laugh until I spot the last person I wanted to see, my father. "What the hell is he doing here?" Midoriya turns around and I can see my father sizing my husband up. He has never meet Midoriya face to face since we bonded.
"Shouto," my dad states sternly. I notice he is actually wearing jeans and sneakers. I didn't know he owned such clothing.
"Father," I reply. "You're actually not working."
"I said I would be here," he replies.
"Enji!" calls out my mom running to his side. I don't miss the scent of their lust as she tangles their fingers together. No way…. Mom turns to look at me. "Shouto, I invited your father." My heart drops causing Midoriya to gasp lowly. I know he felt my feeling regarding this development.
"Why?" I asked not taking my eyes off my dad.
"What do you mean why?" asked dad. "Didn't she tell you?"
"I was working my way up to it," she says to my dad. It was in a tone where she was begging him to not say more.
"You could have warned me at least," he replies. My dad runs his hands through his short red hair. "Look, son, I know we have a lot to talk about…."
"There is nothing for us to talk about," I reply. "The only reason I'm letting you stay is that mom wants you here." Midoriya grabs my hand trying to calm me. I glance at my children and I can see them looking at me scenting I'm upset. I notice Ren is holding his arms out. He wants my mom to pick him up. I see my father moving towards him. "What are you doing?" I barely held in a growl not liking him near my children.
"Picking up my favorite grandchild," he states picking Ren up. "You're going to be the strongest aren't you." Ren laughs as I look on not believing this is happening.
"Please don't say that," says Midoriya. "We don't play favorites in our family."
"I keep telling him not to say that," says mom.
"What do you mean you keep telling him that?" I asked glaring at her. "This is the first time he has seen them?" My mother blushes and I know immediately this is not the case.
"He ran into me 3 months ago at the park," she replies. "It's too much to explain right now."
"You let him around my kids without telling me!" I bark my anger spikes. She knows how my dad treated me as a child. Kept me from siblings, trained me 24-7, beat my ass on a regular. He was not a loving father at all. Why the hell would I want him around my kids? He is already targeting Ren. My mother flitches as Midoriya hand tightens in my grasp.
"Shouto I don't want any problems," says dad shifting Ren to one arm holding him easily. Ren lays his head on my father shoulder showing me just how comfortable with him he is. He looks so much like Midoriya with his little green curls going everywhere white bangs standing out more than ever. "I'm trying here. I really want….."
"No," I replied shaking my head. "You get the hell away from our kids." All I can think about is what he did to me.
"Shouto," says Midoriya. I can feel my mate becoming concerned as he should be. I'm beyond pissed right now. If I can't get my anger under control Midoriya will need to mate me. We're not in the position where we can right now.
"Give me a chance," says dad. "You gave her a chance and she almost destroyed your face," I growl viciously as Midoriya grip tightens on my hand.
