Strapped to the gills with the two infants, Katrina decided this would be a good time to check out the festival. Each twin had their favorite toy which is still their father's plush doll. A familiar voice called out through the mass of students, "Kiiiiiitttyyyyyy Kattttt~!"

Katrina turned around seeing a hyperactive blond bouncing on his heels. His orange tinted glasses slid down his nose so she got a clear view of his green eyes. Katrina narrowed her eyes, "Shouldn't you be patrolling?"

Hizashi waved his hand downward to brush the topic off, "I don't wanna miss anything, ya know that!"

The blond bent down and waved his fingers in front of Youta who was taking front carrier seat. He cooed, "How's the little man?"

Youta waved his arms up and down, "Zaaa... Zashi!"

In the inside, Katrina was crying. Hizashi's eyes widened and a smile broadened, "Woah! He said a word! Was that-..."

The blond looked up at the mother who slightly hung her head. Hizashi rubbed his neck, "So that was his first word, huh?"

Katrina nodded sullenly, "It was. Julieanne's was papa and now his is Zashi. I've been replaced by a cat."

Hizashi lightly pointed to himself, "Or me?"

Katrina's cheeks puffed out, "I don't know what's better getting replaced by you or the cat."

Youta kept chanting 'Zashi' once he got the word down. A loud 'papa' came from behind her making Katrina turn around seeing her husband strolling up. Hands, as always, in his pockets. Katrina huffed, "Shouldn't I be a first word? I mean I am the one who brought these two into the world. I feed them. I clean them. I do everything for them and I came out second to a cat."

Hizashi added in, "Or me!"

Katrina turned back to the blond giving him a glare. Shouta's eyebrows raised in surprise, "Youta said his first word?"

Katrina nodded, "He said Zashi."

Shouta glanced at his best friend. He broke Hizashi's hope, "He meant the cat. Once he started crawling, he would follow Zashi around and play with his tail."

Now the blond sulked, "I was hoping..."

Katrina reached around and slapped the back of Hizashi's head, "You hoped? What about me? I'm their mother, for heaven sakes."

Shouta let out a puff of hair. He placed a hand ontop of his wife's head, "Maybe next time."

The other two perked up. Katrina tilted her head, "Next ti-... Shouta."

Hizashi's smile broadened as he wrapped an arm around the woman's shoulders, "Ohh more!"

Shouta rolled his eyes moving to walk past the two, "I mean later. Not now obviously. These two give us the run for our money."

Katrina wiggled out of Hizashi's grip. She turned around walking backwards teasing, "Go back to patrol, Mic! You're a pro-hero. Act like one!"

She winked with a smile at the pouting grown man. She turned around back to her husband. She looped an arm through his bent arm. Shouta glanced down at his children, "I can take one if need."

Katrina pursed her lips, "If you want. I can hold them both. Shouldn't you have Eri?"

Shouta stopped moving to pluck his daughter out of the carrier. He explained, "She is with Togata and Midoriya. She's fine. I plan to meet back with them before my class' performance."

He held the infant in front of him with an arm underneath Julieanne's diapered butt and the other across her chest. Julieanne was kicking her feet up and down enjoying her father's arms. Both parents started to walk towards the auditorium. Katrina kept her eye out on what the other classes had to offer. Katrina lightly tugged on Shouta's sleeve, "Class 1-B is doing a play of... Romeo and Juliet and the prisoner-... Oh boy that's a long title. Can we check that out as well?"

Shouta let out a very long sigh, "Sure why not."

A small voice called out to the woman, "Miss Katrina!"

Katrina stumbled on her footing. Shouta glanced down seeing a familiar white haired girl hugging tight around his wife's legs. Katrina maneuvered herself to look down, "Oh! Eri!"

Eri moved her head upward resting her chin on Katrina's knee cap. Togata rubbed his neck, "Once she saw you, she ran from me. Sorry about that, Eraser."

Shouta tore his eyes away from the little girl then to the third year. Shouta gestured with his head towards his wife, "If it's her, it's alright."

Togata gave the teacher a thumbs up. Katrina knelt down to the little girl. Youta smiled his gums once he caught sight of the little girl. Eri blinked when Youta thrust his Eraserhead plush in her face. Katrina lightly scolded her son, "Youta don't shove things in people's faces. It's not nice."

Youta slightly retracted his outstretched arm but held the toy out nonetheless. Eri remembered what the woman said when they first met and slowly took the plush from him. She held it to her chest, "I'll keep it safe for you till you want it again."

Youta blew a raspberry with a smile on his face. Katrina smiled as well, "I'm sure you will. You want to head to Mr. Aizawa's class' performance. We were just heading there."

Eri perked up, "Really? Can we?"

She looked over at Togata. Togata gave her a thumbs up, "Of course! We were heading that way anyways."

Eri took the initiative and held out her free hand towards the woman. Katrina blinked then with a wider smile she placed her hand in the little one's hand, "Alright!"

Aizawa and Togata stayed behind the two females. Katrina was pointing to things around the two towards Eri and Youta while explaining what they were. Togata tore his sight from the two to the homeroom teacher. He studied the older man who held a babbling happy infant. He noticed the little infant girl had her hair in a small top of the head pony tail. The hair strands fanned out making it look like a little fan. He would be lying if the girl didn't look like the one holding her to the 'T' when he uses his quirk.


Katrina turned towards Togata, "Do you mind lifting her up so she can see? I wish I could but I got a baby strapped to me."

Togata smiled big. He swooped over to Eri scooping her up, "Of course! I want her to see the whole performance!"

He placed the girl high in his arms. He turned to her, "Can you see?"

Eri nodded as she scoped out the stage. Katrina placed a hand on the tall teen's shoulder, "You can go closer if you are able to. We are going to stick towards the back due to the twins."

Togata bounced on his feet, "Alright! Let's see if we can get a closer shot on Midoriya!"

The two adults watched the third year move through the crowd so Eri can have a closer view. Shouta spoke, "Let's see how this goes."

"Let's see how what goes? I am trembling in anticipation over here!"

Both parents turned their heads to the new voice. Katrina scolded her friend, "Hizashi! You're supposed to be on patrol."

Shouta grumbled, "This is me caring. Get back to patrol."

Hizashi bounded in between the couple. He waved his fists in front of him underneath his chin, "Oh come on you two! I just want to watch for a little bit."

He moved his hand out making his index finger and thumb come close to show the measurement, "Just a little bit."

Shouta droned, "Present Mic. Patrol."

Hizashi slumped his shoulders. He mumbled, "You two are no fun."

Katrina grabbed the man's leather jacket pulling him back towards her when he started to walk away. Katrina reminded him, "We have a pamper day soon. That'll be fun plus I'll record the performance. This is the first time Shouta's favorite class gets to make it this far in the year and be able to perform in the cultural festival."

Hizashi perked up giving the woman a thumbs up. He turned around giving Youta a big kiss on his chubby cheek, "Your mama is a doll."

Youta giggled. Before the boy could grab hold of Mic, Mic pulled away, "I guess I'll go on patrol."

Shouta reminded him sternly, "You've been on patrol. You've been slacking off."

Hizashi turned his head up as he walked away, "I don't know what you are talking about, Eraser!"

Just like Katrina promised, she was able to pull out her video recorder and held it up. Shouta asked, "Where did you hide that?"

Katrina moved a bit showing where it was, "It was strapped to me but hidden due to the carrier."

Shouta drawled, "You don't have to, you know?"

Katrina huffed at her husband, "I got to be proud visibly since someone I know wouldn't show these kids how proud he is. Now shhh, it's starting!"

The curtains were pulled and the students of Class 1-A started their performance. Katrina noticed she got Eri and Togata in the video off to the side. She could see the astonishment coming off of the young child's face. A small smile started to itch its way upward. Katrina found it hard to pay attention to the performance as she watched the wave of emotions burst on the child's face. Out of nowhere, Katrina felt tears water up. Katrina had a hard time holding the camera and had to close it. Shouta immediately looked worried, "Kat! What's wrong?"

Katrina looked up at her husband with a couple of tears falling down on her face. Shouta looked confused as a smile was on his wife's face. Katrina was glad she shut off the camera at the end of the performance so she got everything. Everything including the first time Eri smiled. Katrina wiped her tears away, "Eri... She smiled, Shouta! She smiled. We got her to smile!"

Shouta's lips slowly started to turn upward. Julieanne squealed happily. Youta was throwing out raspberries with a smile on his face. Shouta leaned down towards his wife and kissed her forehead. This was a proud parent moment, well hero moment being able to take away a little girl's demons that haunted her for so long.
