Izumi got up to take a shower, leaving Kaachan on the couch watching some TV waiting for her return. With nothing good on, he begins to look at the pictures on the walls. The thing that caught his eye was that he wasn't in any of them besides their graduation photo. He wasn't in the one taken at the hospital the day Mika was born, none of Mika's birthday parties, and none of the vacation photos either. Deep down he felt guilty for not being there for Mika or Izumi, but he started to ask himself 'Is his job really that important for him to miss out on family time?' Then he realized that they weren't a family, him and Izumi never got married and he doesn't spend enough time with them to have the right to call them that.
"Kaachan the shower is ready for you to use, I placed your towel and a change of clothes there for you too." Izumi says as she walks into the kitchen. "I'm making some pork katsu, want to stay for an early dinner? Mika is gone till 8."
For some reason he noticed her saddened tone, was it because her assumption that he doesn't love Mika. He began to think about the issue momentarily.
"Yeah I'll stay for a little bit." He said with a stoic expression. He walked into the bathroom and notices a clean bathroom with his change of clothes laying on top of the towel cabinet. He also notices that she still keeps a toothbrush and a cup for him, even though he rarely stays over. He gets out of the shower and quickly changes.
*Clank* *Clank* *Clank*
He immediately runs into the kitchen and sees Izumi on her knees picking up metal bowls. "Deku you klutz! You need to be more careful."
"Sorry Kaachan. I just felt light headed." She softly responds back to Kaachan.
He walks over to Izumi and picks her up and notices her sore, red eyes. He is momentarily shocked. "Are you really ok, Izumi? You can tell me anything, how long have we known each other?" He brings her to the dining table and places her on one of the seats.
She begins to look at him from across the table. She slowly begins to open her mouth. She knows that she needs to let him know and get it off her chest. "I- I'm pr- pregnant." She looks at his face and sees his face of realization and regret. She begins to release her tears.
