Shouta felt it was better to bring Katrina with him to pick up Eri. It would be the time he would tell the little girl she would be coming home with them under the school's custody. Shouta rapped his knuckles against the little girl's door. She perked up, "Mr. Aizawa!"

Shouta shoved his hands into his pockets, "We've been given permission to bring you to the festival. I also brought a familiar face."

Shouta stepped more into the room and the auburn haired woman popped her head through the doorway. A smile graced her features, "Eri!"

Eri pushed herself off of the bed and ran towards the woman. Her little arms wrapped themselves around the woman's legs. Shouta's brows raised up. Katrina moved the bag she was carrying to behind her as she knelt down. She ran her fingers lightly through the little girl's hair, "How are you feeling?"

Eri moved her arms to wrap around the woman's neck. Katrina looked up at her husband to see he shrugged. Katrina turned her attention back to the girl and nuzzled her face into the girl's thick hair, "I miss you too, Eri."

The little girl pulled away, "I hear you will be at the festival too."

Katrina's smile widened, "Of course! I am always curious what the other students would put forth. Plus it's always great seeing people having fun and be happy."

Eri asked a serious question, "Do you think I can have fun and be happy?"

Katrina's face softened. She held onto the little girl's tiny hands giving them a squeeze. She answered, "Of course. I'll make sure it'll happen. You know Mr. Aizawa's class is pulling out all the stops. They're going to do a concert with dancing. Midor- I mean Deku would be a dancer. Maybe we can point him out on the stage with Lemillion."

Katrina had to remind herself the little girl only knows the two who put out their necks literally for her by their hero names. Eri looked determined, "I hope I can have fun and be happy."

Katrina winked, "I will guarantee it. How about I'll help you get dressed and fix up your hair before we go?"

Eri nodded quickly. Katrina stood up leading the girl to the bathroom to change. Shouta moved to lean against the wall with his arms crossed. He took this moment to close his eyes. He welcomes any down time to take a cat nap. The new parents were glad Togata agreed to look after the twins as they went to pick the little girl up.


Katrina pulled out a little dress with a dress overalls. She held it out to Eri, "What do you think?"

Eri's tiny hands touched the fabric. Her eyes started to water up, "It feels so nice."

Katrina immediately knelt down in front of the girl, "Hey now... Are those happy tears, I hope?"

Eri nodded moving her hand to wipe them away. Katrina moved closer to the little girl, "Here let me help you."

Katrina pulled up her shirt end and wiped away the girl's tears. Eri started, "W-wait your shirt!"

Katrina chuckled, "It survived throw up. I think it can handle tears."

The woman pulled the dress off of the hanger. She handed the dress to the girl, "Here you go. I also brought cute little boots and tights to wear underneath."

As the little girl changed, the auburn haired woman pulled out the tights and boots. Katrina gushed as she pulled out a little purse, "I saw this and thought you would like to have it. Carry any souvenirs you may get at the festival."

Eri popped her head out of the dress' head hole. She blinked at the bag seeing flowers on each side of the purse. Eri went ahead and grabbed the pair of tights and slipped them on. Katrina held out the purse, "If you want to wear it that is."

Eri nodded feeling light blush dust her cheeks, "I do!"

The little girl pulled the purse over her head to her shoulder and it hung on the opposite side. Katrina tapped the boots, "Alright! Put these bad boys on and I can get started on your hair."

Eri slowly slid her foot in the boot but almost lost her balance. Katrina was quick in steadying the girl, "Woah there."

Katrina kept a good hand on the girl as she slipped on her boots. The girl whispered, "Thank you."

Katrina smiled, "I'll always be here to help. Now what were you thinking of your hair?"

Eri held up her white strands in front of her face. Katrina smiled softly at the girl's determined face. Eri pointed to the woman's hair, "Like yours."

Katrina nodded, "Alright, we'll go with that. Turn around."

The girl followed the woman's instructions. Katrina pulled out a hair tie, a bow and a hairbrush. Gently, Katrina brushed Eri's hair to get out any tangles. Katrina pulled back the girl's front strands to the back of her head to make a half up and down ponytail. Placing the elastic around the small pony tail, she grabbed the grey bow and pinned it ontop of the pony tail. Katrina smiled, "Wanna see what Mr. Aizawa think about it after you check it out?"

Eri turned around with a quick nod, "Please!"

Katrina quickly picked up the little girl and held her up to the mirror, "What do you think about it?"

Katrina watched the little girl move her head around seeing what she did. Her eyes widened at the bow, " I like the bow, Miss Katrina."

The woman wouldn't tell the girl she bought the girl multiple types of hair accessories and it's sitting at home. She want to keep it as a surprise. Katrina placed the girl back on her feet, "Ready?"

Eri was already reaching for the door calling for Aizawa, "Mr. Aizawa! Mr. Aizawa!"

The man opened his eyes slowly, "Hmmm?"

He blinked a few times at the little girl who nervously showed him her outfit and hair. She asked the man, "What do you think?"

Shouta smiled, "It's cute."

Katrina's eyes nearly bulged out of her head, "It takes you this long to say the word 'cute'."

Shouta rolled his eyes pushing himself off the wall. Eri looked concerned. Aizawa knelt in front of the girl seeing her concerned look, "What's wrong?"

Eri asked honestly, "Do you not think Miss Katrina, Youta and Anne cute?"

Katrina bit her lip to hide her laugh. Shouta glanced up at his wife who was covering her mouth to hide her laugh more. Shouta turned his attention back to the girl and grabbed hold of her hands. His thumbs ran across the tops of her hands. He answered, "Always. Everyday. I think you, her and the twins are beautiful."

Katrina placed a hand on her heart, "Oh you know how to woo a woman, Shouta."

Katrina couldn't help but let out a little laugh as she picked up the bag, "I love you, Shou."

Shouta stood up holding out his hand for the girl to take. He mumbled to his wife, "Love you too, Kat."

Katrina appeared on the other side of the girl. She held out her hand for the girl to take. She asked her, "Ready to go home?"

Eri's eyes widened, "Home?"

Shouta answered her, "Yes. You're coming home with us. The school decided to take you in and you'll be staying with me."

Katrina added, "And me! Of course the twins will be there as well. We got your bed all ready too!"

What was unsuspected was the girl's hands removed themselves from their hands before she wrapped her arms on each of their legs. Katrina and Shouta looked down at the girl. They could feel the girl shake from the sudden tears. Katrina placed a hand ontop of the girl's head, "Let's go home, Eri."

Eri squeezed her arms tighter around their legs. Since she did that, they could feel her nod. Shouta knelt down with his back towards the girl, "Hop on."

The girl wiped her face from tears. Katrina gave her an encouraging thumbs up, "Trust me, it's fun."

Shouta's tired eyes sent a light glare to his wife who gave him a smile in response. Eri slowly climbed on Shouta's back. Her arms wrapped themselves around his neck. Shouta quickly stood up pushing the girl up a bit. She bounced on his back. Her chin was now resting on his shoulder. Katrina's smile never left her face, "Ready to have some fun?"

Shouta felt the girl nod into his shoulder. The three of them made their trek back to the school. When they went to pick up the twins and Togata, Togata gushed at Eri's new look. He kept calling her cute. He isn't wrong, the little girl is cute. Katrina insisted the trio to go on ahead of her as she had to feed the twins. She would meet up with them before the concert of class 1-A. She wants to see Eri's face when she sees the performance and the rest of the festival. It will be her goal to make the girl smile. Midoriya already had that in mind when he came to her the day before.

A rapid knock was made on the small Aizawa dorm residence. Shouta grumbled, "I'll get it. It's probably Mic."

Katrina opened her mouth to entice Julieanne to make the same motion as the woman spoonfed the infant. Shouta opened the door revealing his student, "Ah. Midoriya."

Midoriya took a quick glance at his homeroom teacher. There was baby food on his shirt and hair. Midoriya nervously spoke, "O-oh Mr. Aizawa... I was wondering if Miss Katrina would be here."

Shouta looked behind him, "It's for you, Kat."

Katrina wiped away the mush dribbling out of Julieanne's mouth, "Almost got it all in. He can come in, Shou."

Shouta stood to the side, "Come in."

Midoriya wringed his hands in his shirt's fabric when he stepped in. Shouta took his spot in from of his son and fed the boy some beet mush. Katrina looked up quickly at the green haired teen, "What's up?"

Midoriya moved his hand to his hair shaking it through it, "I... I was wondering if you can help me with something."

Katrina raised an eyebrow, "Okay?"

Midoriya cleared his throat, "I want to make Eri-chan some candied apples in case there weren't any at the festival. She loves apples, you see. I want to make her-."

Aizawa interrupted the teen, "Midoriya."

Midoriya looked down, "Ah. Right. Sorry."

Katrina smiled at her daughter who squealed happily, "I can help you. How about right after I feed her we can go to the store and pick some apples and the ingredients up?"

Midoriya felt happiness surged through him, "Really?! Wow, thanks!"

Shouta reached over picking up the spoon from his wife's hand, "Go. I'll feed her."

Katrina looked up and down at her husband, "But she already got you a couple of times. You sure you want to go through that battle again?"

The father of two dipped Julieanne's spoon into her food, "Go."

Katrina stood up, "Alright well then. I'll go get the keys and my wallet."

It took the two a few tries since she didn't want to give any hand at the process other than giving him instructions. He burnt the sugar a couple of times but in the end he was able to get it down and create a couple candied apples for the little girl. Everyone had that one goal in mind to make Eri smile and give her happiness.
