A/N: So it's Mandalay the last of the Pussycats. She came out of nowhere with that last vote that broke the three way tie so here we go!
Guest: Once all the poll choices are done there will be three bonus chapters for special request characters, so look forward to that as they will be complete mysteries until they're posted.
Nabe-Chan: Izuku had three kids with Tsu and he had a daughter and an adopted son with Camie.
Baurs374: Your persistence is admirable my friend you, to the point I could see myself changing my mind on Mitsuki. Also it's been years since I've played or watched Yu-Gi-Oh, so I have no idea about card game etiquette especially in a professional session, but for me when I was playing Yu-Gi-Oh that was one of the best ways I got new cards was pretty much gambling what I had in duels with other kids, and I wanted to have that kind of tension in the story.
Dragon Bone Z: I hadn't heard of Kamen Rider until watching a Youtube video by Mother's Basement so I'm not all that familiar with it, but it's pretty much power rangers right?
The sound of hurried breathing could be heard from a bathroom in a studio apartment. There sitting on the cold tile of the bathroom floor sat a young woman. She had chocolate brown hair that was in a serious state of bedhead and looked as if it had been clenched by her hands several times on the verge of being pulled out. Her green eyes were bloodshot as she fought to hold back tears. Her breasts heaved with each intake of breath that stung her throat. This young woman is Shizuku Midoriya daughter of Mandalay from the rescue team Pussycats and Izuku Midoriya Commissioner of the Hero Public Safety Commission.
The source of Shizuku's distress were the items lying on the floor in front of her; three pregnancy test all showing a positive mark. "How did this happen?" She asked herself before her brain answered for her refusing to allow her the escape from reality she so desperately wanted. She knew exactly how this had happened she was careless, drunk and horny. A few weeks ago was Shizuku's twentieth birthday and like every newly legal person she'd wanted to drink to celebrate so she and a few friends plus their friends had a party.
Shizuku as a new drinker should have paced herself and paid attention to how drunk she was, but she hadn't and in that drunken stupor she'd flirted with a guy and brought him home with her. She could imagine the look on her parents' faces at that admission especially her father's. The disappointed look in their eyes would wound her worse than any villains she'd fought. Of course when she'd woken up the next day he was gone, which at the time she'd thought was a good thing. She didn't want to look at the ramifications of her drunkenness with the hangover she'd had.
Pushing that entire night to the deepest parts of her consciousness she'd endeavored to forget it and continue on with her hero career, but the weeks after that encounter had left her feeling sick physically. At first she thought she might have come down with a cold or maybe it was the lingering effects of her hangover, but after two weeks of vomiting and stomach problems a pit began to form in her stomach about what it might actually be. Of course she'd tried to ignore and deny it, but after throwing up her guts for the better part of last night she'd rushed out to buy several pregnancy tests and now here she was.
"I can't be pregnant! I just moved out of my parents' house! I'm just starting my career!" She shouted to the walls. Shizuku had graduated UA two years ago and landed a job at the Uravity Agency. Her parents had been so proud even though her mother was a bit jealous that Shizuku had chosen not to join the Pussycats. Mandalay understood that Shizuku wanted to forge her own path with no help from her or her father. "Yeah nice going Shizuku not even two years out of the house and you've gotten yourself knocked up. I'll have to take time off from work for who knows how long. I'll have to move back in with mom and dad, because I know jack shit about raising a kid!" She shouted laying her head on her knees.
I don't have to raise it. I could just abort it. She thought to herself before feeling a lightning bolt of guilt rip through her. The thought of killing her unborn child just tore her conscience to shreds. Tears sprang up in her eyes. "I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO!" She shouted at the top of her lungs as she started crying even harder.
Mandalay was sitting on the couch her knees curled up to her generous chest. Her toes peeked out from the paw print bathrobe she wore as she watched some trashy reality TV. She knew it was garbage, but dammit if Ryuko hadn't gotten her hooked on it. "Oh girl get over yourself." She said to the TV before a rapid knocking could be heard at her front door. Mandalay sighed as she set her cup of coffee down on its coaster and walked towards the door hissing like a cat as he bare feet stepped onto the cold wooden floor. "Why didn't I grab my house shoes?" She asked herself as the rapid knocking continued.
"I'm coming, I'm coming!" Mandalay shouted as she opened the door seeing her daughter's grief stricken face as she fell into Mandalay's arms crying. "Shizuku what's wrong?!" Mandalay shouted as she tried to console her daughter and figured out what was wrong with her.
After calming down some Shizuku was sitting in the recliner nursing a cup of tea as she stared into the steaming liquid. "That's what happened." Shizuku said before slowly sipping the tea. She couldn't bear to look her mother in the eye knowing the disappointment that would be there. Her parents were two of the most lawful people she knew. Of course that went without saying given her mother's occupation.
"Shizuku how could you let this happen?" Mandalay said in a calm and even tone. If Shizuku didn't know better she'd have sworn her mother was genuinely curious. "We raised you better than that. You always, always, always use protection especially in a situation like that. Where was your morning after pills?" Mandalay asked as Shizuku flinched and felt tears in her eyes.
"I didn't buy any! I didn't plan to go to the party to fuck. I just wanted to drink with some of my friends and when I woke up I was just so hungover and embarrassed I didn't even want to think about it anymore. I'm sorry mom. I know I fucked up, but I don't know what to do. I'm twenty years old I don't know how to be a mom. I'm still trying to figure out how to be an adult and a hero!" Shizuku shouted as she put down her cup to cover her eyes and curl in on herself.
She didn't know what to think anymore. She was so lost and scared she hadn't felt this way since her work study. As she lay there squeezing in on herself she felt her mother come close to her and hug her. "I'm sorry Shizuku. I know this is scary." She said stroking her daughter's hair as she cried. At this moment everything Shizuku had was let go and she freely cried into her mother's arms like a baby until she had nothing left.
Mandalay looked at her daughter and shook her head seeing that Shizuku was asleep she lifted her daughter and carried her to the room she shared with her husband and pulled the covers over her. Mandalay walked out of the room and went back into the living room and dialed a number on her cellphone. "Izuku we have a bit of an issue." Mandalay said as she began to explain the complicated situation that their daughter had gotten herself into.
Shizuku slowly came awake. Her eyes were heavy and irritated no doubt from all the crying she'd been doing today. She sat up slowly as she heard a pair of voices speaking. "I can't believe she let this happen. This is the most irresponsible thing she's ever done Shino! This isn't something that can just be taken care of or looked past, because it doesn't just involve her anymore there's an innocent life hanging in the balance and whether it lives or dies is in the hands of our obviously too irresponsible daughter!"
Shizuku flinched at her father's raised voice, but also because everything he said was true. She was irresponsible. She'd made a mistake and now was too scared to do anything about it. "Keep your voice down Izuku. Shizuku is in there sleeping she's had a rough enough day without you yelling about how much she messed up. Trust me she knows and not only does she regret what happened, but she's scared out of her mind. You and I were fully prepared to have a child and still there were nights we couldn't sleep. I had you at least can you imagine what she must be going through?" Shino asked.
Shizuku opened the bedroom door and walked down the hall into the living room. There stood her dad. He was tall with his green hair combed back. On his face was a pair of rectangle glasses that he adjusted to look at her. He was wearing a black suit with the letters H.P.S.C on the left breast of the suit. Izuku stood ramrod straight as his green eyes bored into Shizuku. She knew this look from her childhood all too well. Her father was disappointed which in her eyes was worse than him being mad. "H-hi dad." She said weakly as Izuku continued to stare at her.
"Is that all you have to say for yourself Shizuku?" Izuku said coldly as Shizuku bit her lip.
"I-I'm sorry dad. I know I messed-." Izuku cut off her apology.
"Don't apologize to me Shizuku. You should apologize to yourself for putting you in this situation and then apologize to the child growing inside you. You did more than mess up Shizuku this is serious, and as such there is no time to waste. What do you intend to do with the baby?" He asked crossing his arms. Shizuku looked up at her father not really understanding his question.
"W-what do you mean?" She asked as Izuku made a sound of disappointment.
"Don't try to dodge the question. What are you going to do Shizuku? Right now there is a life growing inside you and no matter the circumstances of its creation it is a part of you. You need to decide if you are going to accept or reject that life." Izuku said bluntly as Shino gasped.
"Izuku you can't mean for her to abort it!" She asked as Izuku looked at her.
"I don't mean for her to do anything. This is purely Shizuku's choice. If she wants to abort it I will drive her to the clinic myself, if she chooses to keep it then she'll have to deal with that. It's her choice Shino neither you nor I can make it for her." He said looking at Shino and then back at Shizuku. "So what will it be Shizuku?" He asked his daughter as she fell to the couch and gripped her head.
"I don't know, I don't know. I don't want to get rid of it, but I don't know if I can care for it. I don't want to be a bad mom. Please I need your help, please help me be a good mother!" She shouted. So many things could go wrong when having a child. What if it wasn't healthy? Could she stand to see her child like that, furthermore what kind of quirk would her kid have? She was a telepath being able to read people's thoughts as well as communicated with them.
Shizuku remembered her childhood trying to control her quirk and not read people's minds or keep her thoughts to herself. It was hard. Could she train her kid as well as she'd been trained. As these thoughts threatened to swallow Shizuku whole she felt a pair of strong arms hug her. Shizuku opened her eyes as she heard sniffling beside her.
"I-I'm so glad you chose to keep it. I wouldn't have been able to look at you the same way if you didn't Shizuku and that terrified me." Izuku said pulling back showing her his eyes were just as full of tears. "Listen well Shizuku I was not mad that you got pregnant. I was disappointed you let this happen without any preparation or consideration, but making a mistake doesn't make you a bad person. Running from your mistakes does though. That's the lesson I wanted to teach you." He said stroking her hair. "I'm sorry I scared you, but I had to know and you had to be the one to make the decision if either I or your mother had made that decision for you, you would have held it against us." Izuku said kissing Shizuku's forehead.
"Shizuku you never have to worry about us not helping you. We love you and we'll love your little girl as well." Shino said as Izuku coughed.
"I think you mean baby boy." Izuku said wiping the tears from his face as he stood up to face his wife. The two stared at each other for a moment before hearing Shizuku laughing. "Thank you mom, dad thank you so much!" She shouted wiping tears from her face.
Shizuku lay in a hospital bed completely drained as she heard crying in the room. She looked over at her father whose hand she'd been crushing for the past ten hours. Izuku smiled painfully as he wiped from Shizuku's forehead and then kissed it. "Good job Shizuku." He said as the nurse approached with a bundle wrapped in white blankets.
"Here you are mommy." The nurse said as she placed the bundle in Shizuku's arms. All that could be seen of the infant was their face. Rosy cheeks that seemed as fragile as soap bubbles and a tiny mouth that issued forth gentle breaths. A mess of emerald green hair crowned the baby. "Hello, hello little one." Shizuku said as she used her quirk to connect her and her child's mind.
"So is it a boy or a girl?" Izuku asked as Shizuku looked up.
"It's a-."
A/N: In this world Izuku is quirkless as such he never pursued being a hero instead he acquired a job in the H.P.S.C and worked himself up to the top. He and Mandalay met through their work and fell in love.
