Ochako Uraraka was in her chambers with her guards getting checked out for any signs of disease when she received some rather...um shocking news.
"Ochako this is great news!" squealed Mina nearly causing Ochako to go deaf in her right ear. " Oh to finally have an heir! The King will be thrilled!" She wasn't so sure Momo would be right about that. " Is something wrong my Queen?" asked Tsu who saw the uneasiness in the Queen's eyes. "I... I don't know girls this is... well it's sudden and so many things can go wrong at this point I mean I could lose it or get hurt in battle or worse the League can find out and see it as a way to hurt the kingdom!" She was starting to get dizzy, her head filling up with all the ways this could go wrong. "'Chako calm down, one thing at a time" This time it was Jirou reassuring her and somehow she succeeded. Maybe it was her voice Ochako wondered as she took deep breaths. "First you should tell our King the news and we can go from there, I'm sure he will react positively to this great news" Momo was right, of course, Katsuki would love nothing more than a child with her, however how she was to break the news to him was also important. The kingdoms were preparing for war and she was sure he would worry nonstop about her if she told him now. "How far along am I Jirou?" "About a month," she said as her hands moved over her stomach to hear the heartbeat of the baby. "ok, ok, ok, everything will be fine just nobody tells Kacchan until we get back to the castle ok?" The girls looked at her confused. "Not to question your judgment my lady but why must we wait to tell the King?" Ochako got up and grabbed her staff readying herself to go out. "Because he won't let me help if he knows I'm... well you know... pregnant." She whispered the last word as if saying it too loud would make it real. "But you're majesty the King should know if you're to be with ch-" "Shh! The walls have ears! We have no time to tell him I have to help my people. We will figure the rest of this out when we get back to the castle and that's... that's final." The girls nodded, she was their queen after all. Brushing herself down Ochako walked out of the tent to help treat the rest of the wounded, it's just one more week and then we can tell him... yeah everything will work itself out... She smiled to herself as she walked towards the injured, seeing the relief in their eyes at seeing their healer approach. She began to cast a small healing barrier around them, chanting as she walked around checking on her patients.
