"This can't be right..."
Izuku paced in his upstairs bathroom, his hands fiddling with the test.
Grabbing the pregnancy package he reread it.
One line for negative and two for positive.
The omega picked up the stick squinting, he looked at it carefully.
A faint second line showed, it wasn't prominent but it was undeniably there.
He couldn't deny it anymore; he had done at least five other tests, all of them positive. He should have picked up on it, the puking, the late heat, all the signs were there.
He felt his stomach coil into a knot.
Blood was rushing through his ears and his heart threatened to burst out of his chest.
No,no, no.
He tried to slow his breathing when a second thought crossed his mind, how was this going to work?
They were going steady for five years since he confessed to him in their final year at UA, they had moved in together over two years ago and he had been number one hero for nearly a year. His life was just starting to get figured out. He wasn't ready to be a parent!
They weren't even married, sure they were mated, but it's not the same as real marriage...
He could…. get an abortion. He felt instantly nauseous every inch of him recoiled at the very thought.
No, he couldn't,he already felt a connection to the cells forming in his womb. His omega nor he would ever go through with that, even if he had only known he'd been pregnant for a little while he already loved them.
A drop of sweat slithered down his brow. Then that lead to the question;
How was he going to tell Katsuki?
He paled at the thought. How would he react?
He had calmed since their high school years but he still had a scarlet temper.
The alpha was surprisingly attentive and he paid close attention to Izuku's emotions. He cared a lot for him, he was a good alpha.
Sure he still had his flaws, but he loved him and that's more than the omega could ever ask for. But since Bakugou was so attentive he wouldn't be able to hide his pregnancy. What if he didn't want their child? What if he didn't want him anymore?
His vision blurred with tears, they streamed hotly down his face as a lump thickened in his throat. He whimpered pathetically.
His hands went over his mouth as he sank to his knees sobbing.
What was he going to do?
"I'm back, nerd."
Katsuki called, shutting the door behind him. He just finished his patrol and was finally home after his rather boring and uneventful shift. He dropped his keys onto the shoe cabinet. Slipping off his heavy army style boots, dropping them on the floor.
"Welcome home, Kacchan."
Izuku said, appearing at the end of the entrance shuffling his feet nervously.
The air was tinged with their intermingling scents of his smoked wood and spice along with Izuku's pine and wild flowers, but a bitter tinge of distress pheromones was disrupting the aroma.
" Hey, what's the matter? Did somebody hurt you?" He questioned stepping closer.
The alpha had a growl rumbling in his chest, already preparing to dismember whoever upset his omega.
"Huh? Oh, sorry, um no, I'm fine r-really." The smaller male studdard and avoided his gaze.
"Right, so your stinking up the place with destress pheromones for no reason?" He said, again stepping closer to him.
"Um, yes?" He said giving him a nervous smile, it sounded more like a question than an answer. Katsuki leaned down looking carefully at his face, he gently hooked his fingers under his chin and brought him into a kiss.
It was gentle and voiced his obvious concern for him. Izuku tilted his head back to deepen the kiss.
He tasted sweet, he could also taste some underlying katsudon he must have had for lunch.
Nevertheless it was a flavour he would never get sick of.
Against his inner protest he pulled away after a minute looking deep into his viridescent green eyes that held so many shades and layers of emotion.
There was love, obviously affection for his alpha, but they also held concern... And fear.
"Izuku, you know you can talk to me right?" He said, trying to get him to open up.
He looked away, and bit his bottom rosy pink lip, rolling it between his teeth. He looked so kissable right now but he held back waiting for him to speak.
His mouth opened but no words came out, he shut it again as sweat rolled down his forehead.
His distress was imminent as more pheromones seeped out, when an odd scent caught his attention. It was Izuku's, there were the normal flowers and conifer but there was an undertone of honey and milk.
It was odd but not unpleasant. He inhaled deeply, studying it a little more.
The omega tilted his head downward so that his jade colored curls fell over his eyes hiding whatever emotion the alpha would have picked up from them.
"W-we need to talk..." he said, breaking his silence.
This made the alpha shiver with discomfort. He didn't like the way he said that, exactly how serious was this?
"Alright, but after dinner I'm fuckin' starved." He growled with a loud gurgle from his stomach to accompany it.
The greenette laughed at his boyfriend shaking his head softly.
"Okay, food first. I haven't eaten since noon anyway.." he said following the blond into the kitchen.
" I know I tasted the katsudon~" He said, sending him a smirk and a wink.
To his delight Izuku turned red, even after five years of dating he still had that effect on the man.
"Oh my god, shut up!" He said throwing a dish towel at him.
Katsuki laughed with a terrifying grin forming in his face.
"Wanna do that again Deku?" Even though his expression was serious there was a teasing lilt to his voice that ebbed him on.
"Maybe I will, Dinamight~" He said, placing a hand sassily on his hip.
Taking that as an invite he charged.
Izuku squealed in mock fear, running away.
He ran around the island trying to get away when Katsuki changed his direction, making him run straight for him.
"Gotcha!" He roared his arms reaching for him.
They closed in open air as the latter ducked under his shoulder, he was smaller than Katsuki at 5'6, and Katsuki being 6'0.
But what he lacked in size and stature he made up for in speed and agility.
He flashed the alpha a teasing grin,
" What was that? I thought you 'got' me."
He growled playfully, " Sneaky fuckin' minx."
He darted down into the living room that was open to the kitchen, his feet thumping on the hardwood floor.
The blond haired alpha gave chase tearing after him.
He skittered onto the carpet, he realized too late that he was cornered.
" I got you now!" Bakugou wore a shit eating grin closing in on the omega.
He looked around frantically for an escape, his eyes caught the opening just over the back of the couch.
Making a break for it he jumped onto the couch, tearing through cushions for escape.
" Oh no you don't!" He yelled, grabbing the Omega's ankles. He tripped with a startled yelp falling face first into the pile of cushions.
Bakugou yanked him towards him smiling like a fool, he didn't care though he was having fun.
Deku was giggling uncontrollably his shirt came halfway up his stomach exposing some of his creamy white skin.
Taking advantage of the opportunity the blond bent down blowing a raspberry into his lover's stomach.
He burst into more laughter hitting him lightly over the head.
"OKAY-ok- I-" He laughed even harder as another raspberry was blown,
" I surrender! You win! Mercy- mercy-!"
" Damn right I win!" The blond laughed,
" I'm Bakugou fuckin' Katsuki!"
" And that you are~" Deku laughed, his tone teasing as he stroked his boyfriend's ego.
"Hah-?! You want more?!" He said grinning as he leaned in again.
The greenette shook his head furiously, he just sobered up from his laughing fit. His sides were already aching from laughing so much.
The green eyed latter seemed to remember something that made his expression go sour.
Katsuki's own thoughts flashed back to that talk he was talking about earlier, was he thinking about that?
He remembered that they were supposed to be cooking before they got sidetracked. The faster they ate, the faster he could get Izuku to spit it out. And he knew the longer the nerdy omega thought about it the deeper in his head he would get.
Standing up he reached out his hand to his mate. Izuku seemed to snap to attention and gratefully took his hand. Grabbing Deku's waist he pulled his body flush against his own, holding his gaze.
He kissed the tip of his boyfriend's freckled nose loving the way his mouth squirmed into a smile.
" Let's make dinner, shall we?" He gestured to the kitchen, with a fake and poorly done British accent.
Izuku giggled responded in one of his own, "Let's~"
He didn't know what was on the green haired Omega's mind but he was determined to make him feel better.
After all, how bad can it be?
The couple were cuddled up on the couch after a delicious dinner of spicy curry prepared by the bomb himself, they were resting and watching a movie while having some well deserved snuggles.
Izuku's head was resting on the blond alphas chest as their legs were inter tangled, opposing arms hanging over the couch.
"Hey, Kacchan." Izuku started looking up at his boyfriend. His eyes were closed, his chest rising and falling rhythmically, his heart beating steadily in his chest.
He hummed acknowledging that he heard him.
" I- I think it's time we had that talk now.." Izuku tried to ignore the increase in his heart rate as he said this.
Ruby eyes peeked from under tan eyelids. Sitting up a little so he could get a better look at Izuku's face, he sat in silence waiting for him to begin.
Izuku gulped, he had been running through what he wanted to say in his head over and over, but when it came to saying it out loud the words died in his tongue.
His throat seemed to close as his anxiety spiked.
'Maybe this wasn't a good idea.' He thought panicking.
'But it's too late to go back now!''This was a terrible idea!'
"Izuku."
He was pulled from his thoughts looking up at his alpha.
"Your mumbling again nerd, stop your rambling and just spit it out already."
Even though his words were less than gentle his voice was soft, soothing his nerves. He rubbed gentle circles into the greenette's back letting out a steady stream of calming pheromones.
Deku took a deep breath trying to calm his nerves, he appreciated Katsuki's comfort, helping to ease the knot forming in his gut.
" Okay..." he said after he had calmed himself down enough to speak.
"So," he began slowly,
"Do you remember my last heat?"
The blond seemed taken aback, but his face fell into one of deep thought as he thought back.
" Yeah... it was about..." he seemed concerned as he realized, " A month and a half ago..."
Izuku nodded solemnly.
" Wait, wouldn't that have meant it should have happened already?" He started to look panicked.
Izuku nodded again wondering if he would figure it out before he even told him.
" Are you sick? Is something wrong?" He gently gripped his face, turning it as he examined him.
" Maybe we should see a doctor..." the blond was reaching for his phone on the coffee table already getting ready to schedule an appointment.
"No, I-it's n-not th-that..." had cut his boyfriend off gently, making him put down his phone.
Taking his hand he guided it to his chest, gripping in between his fingers.
He held tightly, cause he knew it was probably going to be the last time got to hold it.
After all, he was just going to abandon him. There's no way he's ready for a pup. He would be a single parent fending on his own...
Before he knew it he started crying.
Kacchan gently pressed his face to his chest gently running his fingers through his mop of soft green curls.
The alpha complained absently patting his head.
"Gah, you're so emotional, always crying' and shit, I wish you'd spit it out already, if you're not sick then what's wrong?"
He was taking his sweet time to tell him and his patience was already starting to wear thin but he held it together and waited for his omega to speak.
The omega sat up suddenly, causing him to sit up too. Wordlessly he grabbed Katsuki's hand again. The alpha gave him a questioning look but let him do as pleased.
To his confusion he placed his hand against his stomach.
Pressing his palm against the gray knitted fabric of the sweater he was wearing.
He looked at Izuku's face with confusion looking for an answer to his question.
Izuku's eyes were glittering as tears pricked the corners of his eyes, threatening to fall. His freckled cheeks were flushed and his bottom lip quivered.
Katsuki would have wiped them away but he was too dazed and confused trying to figure out what he was implying.
"Katsuki..." his eyes flew from his hand to Izuku's face again...
"I'm pregnant."
