Kaiyeti: Good to hear. Right. Yes, they are beyond angry at the parents. Something like that will be coming up in this chapter.
Enjoy the second chapter.
Tsuyu moaned and slowly opened her eyes. She looked down and her eyes widened as she sat up and looked around her room in a panic before looking over her bed. She climbed out of bed and ran out of her room to see Izuku standing in the living room, with Reneta in his arms as he fed her. Tsuyu breathed a sigh of relief as Izuku looked up and slightly smiled, "Hey Tsuyu," Tsuyu yawned and walked over to him, "Uh…sorry to worry you, but we both were up late last night and Reneta was crying so…I decided to let you sleep while I changed her and fed her,"
"Thanks for the early morning heart attack, Izuku," Tsuyu yawned and stood next to him as she smiled down at Reneta, "Hello Reneta. Did you sleep well?" Reneta looked up, eyes wide as saucers as Tsuyu reached down and lightly stroke her cheek, "Well finish up. We have a busy day ahead of us and there are a few people who would like to meet you," she looked up and saw Izuku staring at her in confusion, "My parents, my siblings, your mother, our friends…they're going to be in Reneta's life too, and the sooner we introduce them to her, the better."
"I…yeah well…I can't argue," Tsuyu smiled and rolled her eyes as she shook her head, "Why don't you get something to eat while I finish up here and then we'll get ready to go," Tsuyu nodded as she walked past Izuku and yawned once again.
Tsuyu and Izuku, with Reneta in Tsuyu's arms, sat in a small office, a dark-haired woman sitting behind the desk, a questionable look crossing her face while the sound of Reneta babbling filled the air. The woman sighed and shook her head, "I'm sorry, do you two mind explaining this to me one more time? You say that this child-"
"Was abandoned outside of our apartment with a note saying her name is Reneta and that the parents can't care for her and we'd like to adopt her," Tsuyu explained and rolled her eyes, "We know it sounds a little farfetched, but that's what happened," the woman hummed and narrowed her eyes, "It's true," she looked over to her best friend and lightly nudged him, "Tell her, Izuku,"
Izuku took a deep breath and shook his head, "Tsuyu is right. We were supposed to go out with a couple of our friends last night, but with the weather…we canceled and decided to watch movies at home…there was a knock at the door and…we found Reneta on the doorstep." The woman stared at the small child in Tsuyu's arms and Izuku narrowed his eyes slightly, "It's the truth. If we had gone out with our friends last night, Reneta's parents would've dropped her off on our doorstep and she would've either gotten sick or died from exposure,"
"I see," the woman took her phone out and quickly took a picture of Reneta before standing up and walked out of the office without uttering another word.
The two looked at each other and Tsuyu slightly frowned, "She's not going to let us adopt her, she doesn't even believe our story. Hell, I was there and I barely believe it. Who would leave a child in a downpour like that? You're right Izuku, she could've died from exposure if we had gone out and-"
"And now you're starting to ramble," Izuku chuckled and Tsuyu groaned, "We know what happened, we got Reneta out of that storm before she could get sick…and as for her parents…they're idiots. They should've just taken her to an orphanage, but they decided to drop her off on our doorstep for whatever reason," Tsuyu inhaled slowly and smiled down at Reneta as she looked up with wide eyes.
Hearing the door open again, they looked back to see the woman walking back into the office. The two looked at each other as the woman walked over to her desk and sat down and took a deep breath, "Well…I contacted the police," their eyes widened as the woman slowly leaned back and inhaled slowly, "But no kidnapping has been reported in the past forty eight hours, however, your story seems to have some holes in it and we will be taking Reneta to the local orphanage and-"
"No!" Tsuyu held Reneta close to her, "We wanted to adopt her. We can care for Reneta,"
"As can others, Mrs. Midori-"
"We uh…we're not married…but uh…but we live together, if that helps, and we want to adopt Reneta," Izuku frowned, "Tsuyu made a compelling argument. Why would we take her to an orphanage where she might go ignored or adopted by an unfit family when we can care for her without any issues?"
"And adoption doesn't work like this. Each potential adopting family has a background check and a social worker will check on them every so often. Now, if you will kindly hand Reneta over, I will see to it that she is taken to the local orphanage and-" as she reached for the baby, Reneta began screaming, causing the woman to back away as Tsuyu began to comfort the child.
"It's okay, Reneta, I'm not going anywhere and neither is Izuku…we're just trying to adopt you, sweetie," the child's screams so turned into a light whimper as Tsuyu cradled her and a small smile formed across her lips, "Don't worry, Reneta, we're here…and we're not going to let anyone take you from us."
The woman watched as Izuku reached up and lightly stroked Reneta's cheek, "Tsuyu's right, Reneta. No one, no matter what, is going to take you from us." The woman continued to watch as they comforted the child, "It's just…taking a little more time than we had expected, but don't worry. We're almost done here and then we'll go home,"
The light whimper turned into small hiccups before Reneta nuzzled into Tsuyu's arms, "What in the…and you two say you found her on your doorstep last night?" the two looked up and slowly nodded as the woman sighed and sat back on the chair, "Are you two sure you're not her parents? She has green hair and-"
"And so did a few people we knew in high school, but that doesn't mean anything…we found her last night and…we weren't going to pretend we didn't noticed her and let her die…we brought her in, I fed her and changed her, she slept on my bed and Izuku fed and changed her this morning," the woman hummed and looked at the child, "Unless you want her screaming again, you shouldn't try to take her form me again,"
"This is…something that's not unheard of," the two looked at her in confusion and the woman shook her head, "A child usually knows when they are in danger and will form bonds with those they feel safe with…but she's only been in your care for one night, correct?"
"Yes," Tsuyu hissed and rolled her eyes, "For the last time, she was dropped on our doorstep and we took her in! What part of that did you not hear? We only explained it to you three ti-" Izuku reached up and rubbed her back and Tsuyu inhaled slowly before shaking her head and looked down at the now slightly frightened Reneta and she smiled, "Hey…I'm sorry I was yelling, sweetie, but I was just getting tired of explaining this to this nice woman over and over again,"
"I see," the woman cleared her throat and the two looked up, a lightly annoyed look crossing Tsuyu's face, "This is…going to come back and haunt me, I just know it, but you two are determined to adopt that little girl in your arms," Tsuyu narrowed her eyes as Izuku continued to rub her back, "I'm going to get into some serious trouble, but if you're willing to wait a few moments while I go and get the proper paperwork, you two will be going home with that little girl,"
"There's a catch," Tsuyu stared at her, "What is it? What's going to-"
"As I said, there will be a social worker checking on you two from time to time to make sure you two are indeed taking care of Reneta and if they find anything wrong in their visit, they can and will take the child out of your care and will take her to an orphanage and you two can face child endangerment charges,"
"We aren't going to put her in any type of danger," Tsuyu assured, "I used to babysit my young siblings and Izuku helped me whenever I asked him," the woman hummed and nodded, "But…are you sure you can do this? Can't you lose your job or-"
"Just keep this between us and no one will get in trouble," the woman stood up and walked out of the office without uttering another word.
Tsuyu looked down and smiled at the child as Reneta looked up with wide eyes, "Don't worry Reneta, we're almost done here and then we'll be going home. We'll invite your grandma and grandpa Asui over, and your grandma Midoriya, Auntie Satsuki, Uncle Samidare, Auntie Momo, Uncle Shouto and-"
"Tsuyu…do you think it'll be easier if we introduce her to your parents, my mother and your siblings before we introduce her to our friends?" Tsuyu looked at Izuku and Izuku sighed and rubbed the back of his head, "Well…she's…she's obviously used to us after just one night, if we try to introduce her to everyone, she might get scared and start crying so loud that the neighbors might call the cops and we'll lose her,"
Tsuyu looked down at Reneta and shook her head, "And we don't want that. We're trying to prove to this woman that we're able to care for Reneta and if she's taken out of our care like that…we might never get her back again," Reneta lightly whimpered and Tsuyu smiled and shook her head as she stroked her cheek, "We already told you that we're not going to let that happen. We're going to finish up here and take you home very soon,"
"We're going to have to find out her birthdate and a few other things,"
"I know…that's going to be fun," the woman walked back into the office, holding several forms as she walked over to her desk and sat down, "Are they the-"
"The adoption papers, and some medical papers, giving us permission to do a simple allergy test and anything else that may worry you two," she looked at the two and arched a brow, "Are you two sure you want to adopt this little girl?"
"Yes, we're sure we want to adopt her," Tsuyu answered and the woman slid the papers over to the two and they began reading them over before signing each one.
