Uraraka smiled as she pressed the button on the gate to the Todoroki residence and the butler's voice came over the intercom. "Welcome, Ochako-san. Todoroki-sama is waiting for you."
Uraraka couldn't ever get over Momo's opulent existence, she noted to herself as the gate opened and she walked down the gravel path that led through a traditional Japanese garden to the main house. She came around a bend in the path and saw Momo reclining on the covered deck while the twins played in the front yard.
The twins were as adorable as ever. Hotaru and Isamu were almost mirror images of each other, with Hotaru's hair half black and half red, while her brother, Isamu had half black and half white hair.
"Chako-nee!" Hotaru squealed in glee as she charged her, arms extended as Uraraka scooped her up, careful not to make the toddler float. Isamu followed his sister at a more sedate pace as Momo laughed.
"It has been far too long, Uraraka."
"It has," Uraraka agreed as she carried Hotaru over to the deck.
"Fly, fly!" Hotaru demanded, and Ochako laughed. She sat and held the girl by the waist as her fingertips glowed pink. The toddler squealed as Uraraka "flew" the girl, making whooshing sounds as the girl extended her hands and feet.
"Is everything okay? I was concerned when I got a call out of the blue."
Uraraka's smile faltered a little bit. "Well, I got hit with some unexpected news, and was hoping to get some advice from you."
Momo frowned. "Of course. Anything." And Uraraka felt a surge of gratitude as tears tried to well up, because she knew that Momo meant it. They had been through so much at UA together, become friends, and now they shared the bond of metamours as Deku and Shoto still managed to make time for each other, despite them both having duties of being a Pro-Hero and Shoto balancing his wife and fatherhood.
Uraraka set down Hotaru and Momo called for the children's nanny, Aiko, handing them off to the older woman. "Kaa-san needs to spend some time with Ochako-nee," she explained. Hotaru pouted, but Aiko took the toddlers in hand quickly as Momo got to her feet and guided Uraraka back to the garden path. It was quiet between them for a long few moments as they walked together and Uraraka gathered her thoughts. She appreciated that Momo never rushed her and was always willing to listen.
Finally, she broke the silence. "I'm pregnant."
Momo covered her mouth as her eyes lit up. "Oh, Uraraka, this must be so big for you!"
"Heh, yeah. I mean, I'm not married to any of my partners, so I'm sure I'm going to get some odd looks."
Momo frowned. "While I don't believe that matters, there are plenty of judgmental people out there," she acknowledged. "Is that what's bothering you?"
"Well, I guess that's some of it. But, the biggest issue is that I'm not sure whether the father is Katsuki or Deku."
Momo blinked. "Oh. Oh, no. That's going to be... complicated."
"Yeah, tell me about it." Uraraka sighed. Katsuki and Deku's rivalry was legendary, and she wasn't sure she'd have the patience to deal with them fighting over her again. It had been difficult enough when they started this whole polyamory journey back in UA.
"But, you're sure it isn't Iida or Kirishima's?" Momo asked after a few moments of silence.
"Well, Iida's been in America for the last three months on assignment, so it can't be his," she explained.
"Oh, that's right. Shoto mentioned that Deku's been really missing him."
"Yeah, but he's coping. They video chat almost every night."
"That's good. Long distance is always difficult."
Uraraka hummed in agreement. "And it can't be Kirishima, because we're just metamours."
"Oh, I thought your relationship with Bakugo and Kirishima was like the one with Midoriya and Iida," Momo tilted her head in mild curiosity.
"No, it's just me and Katsuki. Kirishima usually is busy when I come over, or goes out to give us some privacy," Uraraka clarified.
"It's always nice when metamours are considerate," Momo agreed. "Denki often takes the twins for me so I can spend quality time with Jirou. Although I think he's trying to convince her that he'd make a good dad. Which he will, but I don't think she's ready to put a pause on her Hero work. Speaking of which, how is this going to affect your Pro-Hero work with Team Iidaten?"
Uraraka frowned. "I suspect Iida will put me on deskwork as soon as he finds out. I can't blame him, though. If I got hurt in the line of work it could hurt the baby... Man, that feels so weird, saying it out loud like that."
Momo smiled. "It can be a little surreal at first. How far along do you think you are?"
"Umm... I have no idea. How do you even tell?" Suddenly Uraraka felt a little self-conscious. While she'd always figured she'd have a family some day, she hadn't really learned much about pregnancy other than what little they covered in Health Ed.
"You count the weeks from when you had your last period," Momo informed her.
"Oh, well, then I'm about two weeks late, so 6 or 7 weeks, I guess?" Uraraka shrugged. "Or about that."
"About halfway through the first trimester, then. Do you have any symptoms?"
"Oh, nausea for sure. That's why I took the test. I was hoping I just had a stomach flu, but I kind of knew that it wasn't."
Momo nodded and they walked together in silence for a few minutes. "So, you said you wanted advice on something. What can I do to help?"
Uraraka smiled. "Well, I'm trying to decide how to break the news to my group. How did you go about it?"
Momo's smile was almost radiant, her cheeks slightly pink. "Well, my situation is slightly different from yours. Shoto is my only male partner, so I just told him when I realized." Everyone from Class 1-A had attended the wedding less than a year after graduation and it hadn't surprised most of the class that baby shower invites had been issued less than a year after that. "And I pretty much told Jirou at the same time. Honestly, if I were in your situation, I'd just call a 'family meeting' and tell everyone together. It might be a little messy, but then everyone is on the same page. Are you worried about how they'll take it?"
"A little," she admitted. "I know that all of them will support me, but there's always that little part of me that worries. Although, I might invite Kirishima just because he seems to be able to keep Katsuki in line the best of all of us."
Momo laughed. "That's true. I don't think he'd have made it through school without Kirishima to balance him out."
Uraraka leaned her head against Momo's shoulder. "Thanks."
Momo wrapped her arm around her friend's shoulder. "I'm just glad I could help."
