Whitetiger789: Thank you.
Xerzo LotCN: Hmm…okay? I think…sorry, but your review left me a little confused.
Kaiyeti: Thank you. Yes they are. Maybe. Keep reading to see what happens.
Becca Faye: Good to hear.
Please enjoy the possible last chapter before I start working on the sequel.
Tsuyu sat in the living room with Reneta in her arms. Tsuyu smiled down at the child as Reneta looked around and spotted the ring around her finger and her eyes widened as she stared intently at the diamond resting on the band, "Isn't it pretty, sweetie?" Reneta blew spit bubbles as she looked up at her adopted mother in confusion, "Daddy gave it to me last night and he asked me to marry him," Reneta squeaked and Tsuyu smiled as she shook her head, "It means we're going to be a proper family, and mommy and daddy are going to start sharing a room and maybe one day we'll give you a baby brother or sister to play with and-"
"Don't you think you're moving a little fast there, Tsuyu?" Tsuyu looked back and saw Izuku leaning up against the doorframe leading to the hall with his arms crossed and a smirk crossing his lips, "We just got engaged last night, and we don't want Reneta thinking she's going to get a brother or sister anytime soon, right?"
"Oh you're no fun," Izuku chuckled and walked over to her and sat beside her, "Besides, we are going to have to give Reneta a little playmate sooner or later and I do want to have at least two more children,"
"We'll see what the future holds, Tsuyu," Izuku wrapped an arm around her and kissed the side of her head. Tsuyu slightly smiled, only to be interrupted by the sound of Reneta squeaking.
The two looked down and Tsuyu smiled before holding Reneta closer to her, "Don't worry Reneta, we haven't forgotten about you," Tsuyu lightly kissed her forehead as a knock at the door caught their attention.
The newly engaged couple sat across from their friends and the ten stared at the small family of three before Mina crossed her arms, arched a brow and spoke, "So…Eijiro and I tried to call you two last night but no one answered and when we stopped by, we knocked on the door for close to ten minutes before your neighbors on the right told us that you went out for the evening,"
"That's right," Tsuyu nodded and arched a brow, "We were celebrating the fact that Reneta is officially our adopted daughter."
"Wait? We thought that she was already your-"
"We had to wait to hear from Social Services before it became official," Izuku cut Eijiro off, "And after dropping Reneta off at my mother's…and finding out that she had our caseworker over for dinner…Tsuyu and I went on a date an-"
"Date? Like an actual date?" Momo, Mina, Ochako and Tooru asked in unison, "And when did this happen? Are you two together or-"
"We are…we've talked the day all of you met Reneta," Tsuyu boldly stated, "And after that, we tried dating and…last night…well-" she held up her hand and their friends stared at the ring in disbelief, "While on our date last night, Izuku proposed and obviously I said yes,"
The room fell silent for several minutes before Katsuki spoke, "What the hell, Deku? You and Asui are-"
"Katsuki," Ochako quietly hissed at her boyfriend, "I'm sure they have a good explanation to this and you shouldn't lose your temper in front of Reneta like that," all eyes looked down at the child in Tsuyu's arms and Reneta stared at the blond man with wide eyes before Ochako spoke once more, "Now…what exactly happened last night? If you two just started dating, don't you think it's a little early to be taking this kind of step in your relation-"
"Like I told Tsuyu last night and my mother earlier, dating is for people who either don't know each other or barely know each other, and Tsuyu and I know everything about each other better than anyone," the room fell silent for a moment and the two stared at their friends in confusion, "Uh…you guys?"
"Well…we need to celebrate," Eijiro smirked, standing up, "Let's go, the first round is on you two and-"
"We're not drinking," Tsuyu said in a stern tone and narrowed her eyes, "Izuku and I drank more than we normally would last night and ended up coming home and spending the rest of the evening together.
When we woke up, we were both hungover and on the verge of throwing up. Izuku made sure I got what I needed before he worried about himself…that and…we don't want Reneta to spend another night away from us this soon," Tsuyu frowned and looked down at Reneta, "I was the one who suggested that we start trusting our parents and you guys to watch Reneta whenever we decide to go out, but I don't want to leave her alone again this soon. I'm sorry, but we're not going out…you guys can stay here and we can have a small party if you want,"
"O…kay," Mashirao arched a brow, "So…can we drink or-"
"No one is drinking in front of Reneta," Tsuyu looked up and shook her head, "I don't want Reneta exposed to something like that. It's a bad habit and I don't want her to pick up on any of those,"
"So what's going to happen when you two decide to jump th-" before Denki could finish, Kyouka punched his arm and he hissed in pain before looking at the purple-haired woman next to him, "What the hell, Kyouka? What did I-"
"You were about to make an inappropriate statement in front of our niece, idiot," she hissed and narrowed her eyes, "I don't think Tsuyu and Midoriya want Reneta to know about drinking and I'm more than positive that they don't want her knowing about that anytime soon!"
"Jeez, kill a guy for trying to make a joke why don't you?" Denki mumbled under his breath before he looked back at the green-haired family and frowned, "But seriously, what are you two going to do if you do decide to spend…time together?"
"Well…we'll ask Tsuyu's parents, one of her siblings, my mother or one of you guys to watch her for the night…if that's okay with you guys,"
"Are you kidding?" Tooru smiled and shook her head, "Mashirao and I would love to watch Reneta," the man next to her stared at her in confusion and Tooru looked at him with a serious look behind her eyes, "It would be fun watching Reneta, right Mashirao? It'll be like we have our own bundle of joy in the house and-"
"Uh…Tooru…you know that Reneta is our niece and not our daughter, ri-"
"Of course I know that, just let me have this,"
Tsuyu and Izuku watched as their two friends bickered back and forth in slight amusement, "Question," the two looked up at Momo in confusion, "Who's going to watch Reneta while you two are on your honeymoon after you get married? You won't be able to get any alone time with a child to care for and-"
"We'll worry about that when the time comes, Momo," Tsuyu answered before looking down at Reneta and Reneta looked up and began blowing spit bubbles and Tsuyu faintly smiled, "For now we want to spend some time with her before we get married and have to leave her for a few days,"
"That sounds reasonable," Shouto chimed, "As you've stated, Reneta really hasn't been in anyone else's care since you two found her," Tsuyu and Izuku slowly nodded before ignoring their friends and looked down at Reneta.
Hours slowly passed and everyone had gone home while Tsuyu and Izuku stood in the nursery and watched as Reneta soundly slept in her crib. Looking down, Izuku saw a small frown painted across Tsuyu's lips, "Do you want to talk about it?"
"We're engaged…we're going to be married soon," Izuku hummed and nodded as Tsuyu sighed and looked up at him, "What's going to happen when we do have children? Are we going to push Reneta to the side, are we going to ignore her or do what her parents did and leave her out in the-"
"And here's where I become the voice of reason for once," Izuku frowned and placed a firm hand on Tsuyu's shoulder, "Yes, we're engaged. I asked you to marry me last night and as far as I can tell, you said yes…after I explained why I found it funny when you said we just started dating, but still,"
Tsuyu groaned and looked down at Reneta, "But," Tsuyu slowly looked up once again and Izuku took a deep breath and shook his head, "Even though we are bound to have children one day and everything, that doesn't mean we're going to push Reneta to the side, ignore her in any way, or do what her asshole parents did and put her out in a storm for a random couple to care for her. We're her parents and nothing will change that.
Reneta came into our lives that night and we basically had to fight Wo Mai to adopt her the following morning. Your parents, your siblings, my mother and our friends all adore her, Mr. Yagi even managed to write a good report in order for us to keep her and…I believe she's the reason we're together,"
"The reason…okay, I'm a little lost here. What do you mean by that?"
"I mean…if we hadn't adopted Reneta, or even found her that night, and our friends didn't come over and reminded us about our second year in high school after explaining our relationship then, would we be here right now? Or would we be playing the best friend card until we end up hating each other and one of us moves out?" Tsuyu stared at her fiancé before letting out a light throat laugh, "Huh? Now what are you laughing about?"
"You…you're a dork, Izuku," Izuku arched a brow and Tsuyu smiled before wrapping her arms around him and kissed his cheek, "But you know what? I love you for it,"
"Heh, I'm glad I have my uses around here," Izuku chuckled and kissed her forehead, "Besides, what are you really worried about? Aren't you the one who said something about giving Reneta a little playmate sooner or later?" Tsuyu hummed and nodded as Izuku wrapped his arms around her and rubbed her back, "Why don't we get some sleep? Something tells me that these next few weeks or months are going to be hectic,"
"I think you're right," the two separated and looked down and watched as Reneta slept, "We still have to tell my parents and siblings about our engagement…I just hope our mothers don't take a hundred pictures like they did when we told them that we were dating,"
"Wait…didn't my mother agree not to do-"
"She can always go back on her word, Izuku," Tsuyu sighed and rested her head on his shoulder, "We should go to bed…we wouldn't want to wake Reneta up," Izuku hummed and nodded in agreement before the two of them turned and quietly walked out of the room and closed the door behind them, leaving it opened a small crack before turning and going down the hall to their room.
Well…this first installment in what I hope to be a trilogy was a fun write, and I truly hope people enjoyed reading it as well. I will start the sequel soon, so keep an eye out for that.
Anyway, I was going to have them tell Tsuyu's parents, but I decided to save that for the sequel and have their friends find out first, and besides, I don't think I had them tell their friends that they were together so two birds one stone. I don't know how well this will be posted, only because I'm using my phone's hotspot to get it done and hotspots aren't entirely reliable.
Please enjoy everyone and please let me know what everyone thinks.
