"He's going to be okay isn't he, " she asked?

"I'm sure he will be." He hooked his finger under her chin making her look up at him, "after all, he's strong like you."

She could tell by the look in his eye, that he truly believed what he was saying. She gave him a soft smile. This man, who cared for her, her son, and their unborn child, he always knew what to say to make her feel better. "I love you," she whispered.

"I love you too," he gave her a soft kiss on the lips. " Now lets go see if we can get any updates, alright?" She nodded, holding his hand as he lead the way out of the restroom.

As they made their way out Toshinori noticed that Mitsuki was no longer standing in the doorway, but was now standing next to her husband in front of them was a doctor. She was crying, nodding as the doctor spoke. They couldn't hear what the doctor was saying, but it seemed to be good news, based on the Bakugos' reactions. When Mitsuki noticed Toshi and Inko come closer she perked up, "Katsuki is out of surgery, they are going to take us back to see him soon."

"That's great, "Inko gave her friend a soft smile, though it pained her inside that she still hadn't heard anything about her own son. She turned to the doctor with a little hope in her eyes, "do you have any news on my son, Midoriya Izuku?"

The doctor looked down at the small woman, "I'm sorry mam, I do not. But I will make sure someone updates you soon."

"Thank you that's very much appreciated," she nodded to the doctor. Toshi ran his hands over her shoulders, trying to comfort her.

A nurse soon brought the Bokugo's to Katsuki's room leaving Toshinori and Inko alone waiting for any news on Izuku. They sat there quietly. Inko once again was leaning on him and began to doze off, as her adrenaline began to wear. Glad that she was finally getting some rest, he allowed his thoughts to wander. In just a few hours his world had been flipped multiple times, from finding out he was going to be a father (again), to worrying he might lose his successor, his son. As exhausted as he was from just that(along with certain activities), he couldn't imagine what Inko had been going through, from finding out she was pregnant and worrying about how he would react, worrying about telling Izuku, to worrying about Izuku himself. She's had a stressful couple of days. She is strong, he knew that, its one of the reasons he fell for her. Her strength reminded him of his late mentor, Nana. But even strong people get overwhelmed, he knew that from experience. He kissed the top of her head and whispered, "I love you." Still asleep the greenette nuzzled in his hold.

It was well past midnight before a doctor finally came out to update them. Toshinori, being the only one of the two awake, had begun to get frustrated with the waiting. Was this how his friends, not that he had many back then, felt when he had been put through all those surgeries? As soon as he saw the doctor his frustrations faltered replaced with nervousness.

He gently woke Inko, missing her warmth as she sat up setting her attention on the doctor. "How is my son, " she immediately questioned?

"My name is Sakka Tori, I work with Recovery Girl. I am in charge of your son's care until she returns," the short, brown haired doctor said, hugging a clip board to her chest. "Izuku is stable. His injuries were quite extensive. He has burns ranging from first to third degree covering much of his upper body. We went in and removed bone fragments throughout his right hand, chest cavity, and left leg. Much of his wounds should properly heal, with the assistance of Recovery Girl and a little time. His right hand ,however," the doctor paused seemingly trying to find the proper words to say, "we will just have to see how it heals, before we assume anything."

Joyful yet sad tears filled Inko's eyes and she buried her head into Toshinori's shirt. Her baby boy was alive, he was stable. But, what kind of life would he have if he lost use of his hand?

"I assume someone has spoken to you about his hands before, " the doctor asked?

Inko merely made a whimpering sound, trying to say yes. But it was Toshinori who spoke, " yes, we were told that if his hands were to sustain too much damage there would be a chance he may lose use of them forever. D-do you think that is the case now?" His voice shook as he spoke.

"We will know more when Recovery Girl arrives in the next few days. After that only time will tell," she cleared her throat, trying to hide the solemn tone in her voice. "For now lets get you back to see your son," she gave an encouraging smile, that reminded Inko of Toshinori's 'All Might' smile, which somehow calmed her.

As Inko looked at her son connected to wires and tubes she couldn't help but think of how young he looked. Even with the stubble that had started to grow on his chin along with the bruises and burns on his face, he looked like a baby to her. Her baby, his face reminded her of all the times she would hold him, rocking him to sleep as a baby. So innocent and unknowing of the horrible things around him.

Dr. Sakka cleared her throat, reaching for their attention, "He should wake up some time in the next few hours. I will be in here every few hours to check on his condition. If you need anything let one of the nurses or I know."

"Thank you," Inko said reaching for one of the doctor's hands that had a lighter grip on the clipboard she was still hugging. As her hand made contact with the doctor's, the brunettes blue eyes flashed to a pink hue, before she stepped away from the touch.

"I-its no problem, its my job after all," she blushed as she spoke. "I'll let one of the nurses know to bring you some food, as well as some ginger ale and water. You're a little dehydrated and your blood sugar is low. Other than that the baby is doing well."

Inko and Toshinori looked at her in surprise.

"Ah, sorry reflex. My quirk is Health Scan, one touch and I can tell you anything about your body, " she raised her hand that Inko had touched, as she explained.

Inko thoughts centered on Izuku as the doctor and Toshi continued to speak. If he were awake he'd want to know every little detail about Dr. Sakka's quirk. He'd probably ask her so many questions, many that the doctor herself probably couldn't even answer. She smiled sadly at the thought. She really missed his rambling at the moment.

Toshi's touch on her shoulder distracted her from her thoughts, bringing her back to the conversation.

"Is there anyway you could keep the baby a secret for now? We haven't exactly told him yet," Toshi gestured towards Izuku.

"Oh, of course, I completely understand," the doctor frantically replied. "I'll just see my way out, so you can have some privacy, " she turned to Inko, "and as I said earlier I'll let the nurses know to bring you something to eat and drink."

"Thank you," they both noded.

a/n: Finally got another chapter done. Hope you don't mind my small oc addition for this chapter. She will be a tiny part of this fanfic, but nothing major. (Thank you Flyer on the toshinko discord for the assistance on naming her quirk)
