-Rose's POV-

The weeks leading up to me starting at UA had been hectic to say the least. Not to mention, I had started to feel tired more easily and nauseous, especially in the mornings. Some days were so bad that I would actually throw up, but I had been trying to relax Toshi by convincing him that the sudden job change and all the new changes had been causing my anxiety to spike a little bit which caused my acid reflux to act up. He took that explanation, but I had a sinking feeling as to what was really wrong.

For weeks, I had refused to acknowledge my suspicions and just acted like what I had told my overly trusting husband was the truth. However, a couple of days ago during a patrol with Enji-nii, I had a bad bout of nausea and ended up running into a nearby alleyway to throw up in a trashcan earning a concerned expression from the flame hero, though to most people, he just looked pissed off.

As a result, Enji-nii had called and set up an appointment with the Todoroki doctor and told me to be at the Todoroki estate first thing this morning to get checked out. He was going to send the doctor to mine and Toshinori's apartment, but I insisted it be somewhere else because I didn't want to stress my doting husband anymore than he already was being both the number one pro hero and a new teacher.

Nii-san had rolled his eyes at this but relented and agreed to have me just come to the estate after Shoto left so he wouldn't mention it to Toshinori. I had originally insisted I didn't need a doctor, but Enji blackmailed me, threatening to tell Toshinori that I had been sick for weeks and not telling him. At that point, I gave in and we came to the agreement that led me to where I am today: sitting in a spare room in the Todoroki estate with Enji-nii and the family doctor as the doctor looked over my blood work. My phone buzzed, and I glanced down to see a message from my husband.

Toshi 3: I hope you are feeling better. Meet us at the USJ for training today if you feel up to it. I love you.

Rose: Thanks. I'll be there I'm sure in a bit. I gotta push myself beyond my limits ya know ;)

I smiled and sighed happily just imagining the chuckle I'm sure that earned. Anytime I actually reference going beyond or plus ultra, it makes us both think back to the beginning of us getting together and makes us laugh.

"So I assume this is good news for you then. That's great!" the doctor said with a relieved smile as Enji-Nii looked just completely conflicted between being pissed and happy. I gave them a confused expression.

"What news?" I asked, not having heard anything the doctor had said. The old man looked taken aback and Nii-san full on facepalmed. The doctor quickly cleared his throat regaining his composure.

"Ah… Mrs. Yagi, I said congratulations. You are pregnant!" the doctor repeated with a kind smile, and I swore my heart stopped as a flood of conflicting emotions invaded my mind coming out as tears flowing from my eyes.

"I-I'm gonna have a baby?" I managed to choke out, and I caught Enji-nii's sympathetic and concerned expression. He knew about my past and didn't know how I would react to being pregnant. The doctor nodded and handed me a small stack of papers.

"This is a list of the top OBGYN's in the area as well as a prescription for prenatal pills. Also, you should know you're about 4 weeks along. Is this your first pregnancy?" he asked, typing away in the computer to input all of my medical history. His question made me freeze as Enji-nii snarled at him to leave it and that I could put all the information in the paperwork before sending the doctor on his way. When Enji-nii returned, I was still in the same spot staring at the paperwork in my hand, tears streaming down my face and clouding my vision. Clearly uncomfortable with the situation, he pulled me into an awkward hug.

"Do you want me to call the big blonde oaf?" he asked, his voice gruff but softer than usual earning a small laugh from me as I jokingly hit his chest.

"Don't call him that. He's the father of your future niece or nephew," I teased trying to make light of the gravity of the news I had just received earning a disapproving look from the flame hero, "And I'll go tell him in person. They are training at the USJ today." He nodded and went into a room for a couple of minutes, his phone to his ear. In minutes, he was back beside me in his hero costume and held out a hand to me.

"Come on. My driver will take us to the USJ," he instructed and cut me off when I opened my mouth to protest, "Even if people don't know that you are married to that oaf, you carrying his child could potentially make you a target. Plus, you've been dealing with morning sickness and I have a sneaking suspicion you would put off getting that prescription filled. So I'm going to drop you off at USJ. End of story." At that, I couldn't help but smile and nod before letting my smile morph into a smirk as I decided to tease the overprotective hero.

"Awww is Enji-oji-san already becoming protective?" I teased as he just clicked his tongue and gave me a half-hearted glare before looking to the side.

"No, but Enji-nii-san is," he muttered under his breath causing me to cackle with laughter as I jumped and gave him a hug.

"Hey! Be careful! You're pregnant! You shouldn't be jumping around like that!" he scolded in a slight panic earning an even bigger laugh from me.

"I'm pregnant. Not crippled. Relax. I've been pregnant before. I got this," I assured with a smile before looking up to the sky as we walked outside to the car. Thank you, Isha. I'll be sure to protect your little sibling and give them the life I wish I had been able to give you.

On the way to the USJ, I had texted Toshinori several times and even tried calling, but I had gotten no response causing me to worry as a bad feeling started to build in my gut. Enji-nii tried to assure me that he was sure everything was fine and that Toshinori was probably just busy teaching, but I couldn't shake that bad feeling. To keep myself calm, I wrote it off as hormones. That is until we pulled up to the USJ to see it blocked off and being swarmed by the other teachers and pro heroes from UA.

My ears began to ring, as I jumped out of the car as soon as it had stopped. Enji-nii may have told me to stop, but I couldn't hear. My mind was on one thing. Please let Toshinori be okay. As I reached the caution tape, I ducked under it and when police officers tried to stop me, I pushed past them until I was able to get into the building. What I saw made my heart stop.

The ground was littered with knocked out villains. Aizawa was in a bloody heap on the floor and was being put on a stretcher by paramedics with Mic looking like he was trying to hold himself together. I felt for him, but my priorities were elsewhere. My panicked emerald green eyes scanned the building, noticing that all of the students seemed to be present and uninjured until I finally saw Izuku running towards Toshinori who was bleeding profusely from an injury where his scar was and steaming.

Wait… STEAMING? Shit! There are still students here! At that thought, my quirk activated as a reflex and I flew over to him just as Cementoss put up cement walls around us, blocking the view of Toshinori from the others as he went back to his normal form. I flew over to him, my feet just skimming the ground as I threw my arms around him in a panic. I felt him flinch as I pulled back with tears running down my face and began expecting his injuries, the ringing in my ears finally starting to die down as I realize that while he was pretty beat up, none of his injuries looked life threatening.

"Rose, dear, I'm okay. Don't worry. I'm okay," Toshinori murmured soothingly as I looked up at him with tear filled eyes as I felt the panic I had began to take its toll on me as my legs began to shake.

"Th-that was too close… You pushed it too far!.. You can't leaveuslikethat," I tried to scold but ended up slurring my words as my world went black.

I awoke to the smell of disinfectant and a stark white ceiling. My eyes shot open and I sat up quickly as I remembered everything that had happened. My eyes darted around the room until I saw Toshinori and Izuku bandaged up in hospital beds talking with Toshinori's friend, Detective Tsukauchi.

Not caring about the other two in the room at the moment, I jumped up and immediately sat on Toshi's bed, wrapping my arms around his neck, my body trembling from the stress of the days events. Immediately, I felt the blonde hero rubbing soothing circles on my back as he asked the other two if we could have a moment to speak alone. They both agreed and Tsukauchi helped Izuku in exiting the room. As soon as they're out of the room, Toshinori placed a comforting kiss on my forehead and began speaking softly to me.

"Rose, my dear, I promise I'm okay," he soothed gently, "Try and calm down, love. You don't want to have another panic attack like that." I nodded shakily and took a few deep breaths before pulling away to look more closely at his injuries as I gently grasped his face in my hands as I felt my eyes tear up for what had to be the 100th time that day.

"Toshi, you have to be more careful! I can't handle losing you… I need you…" I lamented sadly before saying much softer, "W-we need you." Toshinori gave me one of his 100 watt smiles.

"Don't worry. I won't leave you and Young Midori-" he started to comfort, but I cut him off with a shake of my head and anguish in my heart about what I was going to tell him.

"I'm not talking about Izuku, Toshinori! I'm saying that you need to be here for me and…" I struggled to get the words out. My blonde husband looked at me in confusion.

"And?" he encouraged me to continue. I took a deep, shaky breath before meeting his confused ocean blue eyes.

"Our child, Toshi..." I finally managed to get out, and his eyes went wide.

"Our child?! Y-you mean… Rose… You're…?" he stuttered, trying to get the words out. Notification: has stopped working. I let out a strained laugh at how confused he was before nodding with teary eyes and a nervous smile.

"Yes. Our child. I'm 4 weeks pregnant. You're going to be a father, Toshinori-" as soon as the words left my mouth, he had captured my lips in a sweet and loving kiss. He pulled away shortly with the biggest smile I had ever seen stretched across his face as his eyes met mine and his large hand splayed across my stomach as he spoke towards my still flat stomach.

"Hi there, little one. You have helped your mother once again make me the happiest man alive," Toshinori stated happily as he placed a kiss on my stomach earning a smile from me. Once he finished his little talk with our tiny unborn child, he sat back up and pulled me securely into his chest and pressed a firm and sweet kiss on the crown of my head.

"Thank you so much, my dear. I love you and our child both so much," he said sincerely as I nuzzled into his neck and placed a kiss on his collar bone, since that was the only place I could really reach.

"I love you to, Toshi… So much," I murmured into his collar bone as we cuddled up just as the door opened to reveal Tsukauchi helping Izuku come back in.

"Is everything alright, All Might?" Izuku questioned worriedly. I could practically feel Toshinori's chest puff up with pride as he announced to the two with a boisterous voice.

"Yes! Better than alright actually! Rose and I are going to have a baby!" he announced and I could hear the pride in his voice as I facepalmed and pinched his arm earning a surprised noise from him as he looked at me.

"Be careful announcing that, Toshi. The pregnancy is still in its early stage. So we should be selective in who knows about this," I lectured him as he looked at me with an apologetic smile but he didn't back down.

"It's alright! Only Young Midoriya and Tsukauchi know," he comforted with a smile. At that, I smirked a bit as I told him news that I knew would make him be at least a little nervous.

"Actually, them and Enji-nii know," I corrected earning me the expression I was expecting as his face paled a bit.

"Endeavor knows?..." Toshinori asked nervously, and I nodded and gave him an apologetic smile.

"He's the one who made me go to the doctor. I got sick on a patrol the other day, so he called the family doctor and had him do my check up at the Todoroki estate this morning. I was going to tell you, but I didn't want you to worry about it," I admitted with an apologetic smile. He pulled me close to him and kissed me sweetly on the forehead.

"It's okay. I'm glad there's at least someone you'll listen to about your health," Toshinori conceded as we were interrupted by a stuttering Izuku who seemed to finally get over his shock.

"Um.. C-Congratulations, All Might, Mrs. Yagi! I'm sure you'll both be amazing parents!" he expressed with a big nervous smile as his eyes met mine, obviously not forgetting our interaction from a couple of weeks back. Not wanting him to fear me anymore and realizing I might have gone a bit overboard, I gave him a kind smile.

"Yeah, but the little one will need an awesome older brother figure in their life too. Think you can manage that, Izuku?" I questioned with a quirked brow and a small smirk. At that question, everyone's favorite cinnamon roll started to tear up and gave me a huge smile.

"O-Of course, Mrs. Yagi! I-I'd be honored!" he exclaimed loudly and I flinched a bit with a small laugh.

"For the millionth time, Izuku, just Rose is fine," I reminded light-heartedly as I felt Toshinori pull me closer and speak softly in my ear words that made my heart nearly burst and let me decide that I would not let fear from the past ruin the happiness of my present.

"Thank you, my dear. I know you'll be a fantastic mother to our little one. Plus our little one will have a guardian angel older sister too. And I'll be here the whole time. I love you."
