Chapter Thirteen:

Crashing Waves

"Jeeze I wasn't going to vlog, but you forced my hand" Hachiko sighed as she powered up her camera and directed it at Kaito, "I thought you knew better". She tsked at the man who continued to open another bag of chips and dumped on her clean center table.

"Listen I didn't have a plate…so how else am I supposed to eat this?" the pink haired man scoffed before crumpling up the bag making Hachiko cringed in the process.

"That's because you didn't even bother asking for one" Fable muttered as she looked through the listing of homes. Toshi seemed to be obsessed with pools because in almost every home the realtor gave her has one.

"You too Cotton-chan!" the male cried out before turning to his food and began to stuff it into his mouth.

"Stop pouting, I made pudding but y'all didn't want any…so…" Fable trailed off while fanning herself with the folder that listing came packed in.

"Hey! I ate mine!" Hachiko grinned brightly as she jabbed her thumb at her chest, "and it was yummy, I'm gonna be so jealous of your kiddies being able to eat all your yummy sweets" the idol swooned.

"Oh, hush" Fable could feel her cheeks heat up, "I can always bring you some…i-if you really like them"

"OH, HELL YEAH! Give them to me" Hachiko clenches her fist at the offer making her friend laugh, "so how's the house hunting going?"

"There's so many to choose from" Fable gave a sigh and leaned back on the floor, "and they're all inn freaking good neighbor hoods"

"Oh, wow I didn't know Toshi was loaded," Kaito said as he took a sip of her drink, "All Might must pay top bucks"

You have no idea.

"I want something close to our job…and other schools for when the munchkins start kindergarten"

"It doesn't have to be close to Yuuei, Candy-chan…you have a car…and what if you stopped working there?" Hachiko hummed, "you and Toshi can car pool to work and home…don't make a choice based on only that…better yet it would be better if was based on how close it to a train station?"

"Yea, then it won't matter about the school or not, you can always take the train" Kaito added his two cents.

"That's pretty smart!" Fable sat back up, "the farthest away from a train station I would want to be is twenty minutes maybe thirty but that's pushing it" she began taking out the ones that where over thirty minutes away from a station. Fable placed a hand on her stomach feeling something bubble before letting out a small blech, "these demons are making me gassy, Toshi is only feeding me bland foods now!"

"He only wants to go easy on your stomach, and everything is making you gassy" Hachiko laughed.

"NO! I WANT FOOD! I WANT FLAVOR, I WANT SPICES, I WANT GREASE" Fable whined, "he's only feeding me plain white rice with a side of pickled vegetable and grilled fish with salt and sometimes pepper"

"He's spoiling you…wish I had a man that would cook for me" Kaito huffed

"He doesn't let me cook my own food anymore" the young woman groaned hearing Hachiko laugh in the background.

"Because he knows you'll cook what you want and not what you need" the greened eyed man smirked. He was right, the first thing Fable would have made was some good old fried chicken with mac n cheese. It's so damn American that it hurts.

"I'm so dehydrated because of this pregnancy and it sucks man" Fable groaned as her hand rub her stomach. Being dehydrated wasn't good because of the nature of her quirk it was a pain to have to drink at least double of her water intake now. Thus, Toshi had kindly bought a water bottle that holds almost a gallon of the stuff.

"How do you know you're even less dehydrated, Cotton-Chan" Kaito raised an eyebrow glancing her way.

"I see yellow now" Fable groaned as she looked down at her papers on the table, the young woman kept her top five and placed the rest back into the folder.

"Ew, we didn't need to know!" Hachiko gagged a little as she shook her head

"He asked" Fable pointed her thumb at the man sitting next to her, "so blame him"

"Change of subject" Hachiko clapped her hands together, "how are things between you and the bamboo man"

"Bamboo man?" Fable gasped placing her hand over her heart with a soft playful gasp, "not my sweet stick man"

"Yes, him" Hachiko laughed, "how are things…I mean we hardly get to see you now…since you've been together…with the babies and all"

"I call you guys" Fable pursed her lips slightly as she leaned against the table resting her hand on her cheek, "but things are more than great between us…he's gonna meet my family soon" Fable laughed "he's so skittish right now, asking what my parents and brothers would like as gifts…it's adorable really"

"Sounds like he's trying to buy their approval" Kaito muttered, "after all he's like super old"

"He is not! Toshi is only forty that's not 'super old' at all" Fable huffed and crosses her arms.

"I'm surprised that he isn't more insecure" Hachiko took a sip of her drink, "I mean he is…what man with some lover thirteen years younger than them isn't"

"He knows I won't leave him for some young fuckboi" Fable snapped at her friend, feeling veil build up in the back of her throat.

"Yes, but that won't stop the 'young fuckboi' from trying to win your affections" the idol dark eyes rested on her friend, "just wait until you have your kids and get your body back…they'll be back…and on top of that they'll see you with Yagi-san who looks half dead"

"HEY!" Fable shouted and glared at her bird-like friend just about ready to fight for Toshi's honor.

"The man does look like he has one foot out the door" Kaito shrugged, "to be honest I was freaking out when I found out you actually like him"

"And he isn't loaded!" Hachiko said, "I'm not calling you a gold-digger but that's what it looks like to the outside world" Hachiko snapped her claws, "after all you're a young pretty girl…with a sexy body…so what you be doing with a man that looks like he can die any day now…if it wasn't for money"

"I…I never" Fable's mouth went dry, did that what the worker at the store thought? She was just some gold-digger who trapped her sugar daddy with a baby? And the lingerie wasn't cheap either, the woman started to feel sick to her stomach.

"I know you won't" Hachiko laughed, "but that won't stop others from thinking such things…humans are ugly creatures"

"The press is gonna have a flied day when they find out that you're the 'Miller' All Might confess" Kaito laughed as he nudges the woman in the ribs, "and you're pregnant! Geeze you know the rumors that gonna spread 'it's All Might's kid and she's passing it off as the assistant' ya' know basically calling you a slut"

Fable groaned, and she buries her face in her hands holding back small whine and rolled over to her side. Why did he have to open his big mouth, she saw people snooping about at the school. She knew what they were, she knew what they wanted but she prays that they won't come close to finding her. The nagging in the back of her mind knew that they'll found out who she was eventful, even if Yuuei was huge staff. But how many foreigners do that employ? Not that many she'll tell you that, "can we change the subject please, I don't like discussing being branded as a whore…better yet…I'm heading home" she muttered before pulling herself up.

"Fable-chan!" Hachiko cried up watching her friend slip on her shoes and her jacket before leaving the apartment. Fable shivered slightly rubbing her arms from the chill of the night air. Tugging her jacket tightly around her bump, the young woman started walking home. Violets eyes scanned the dark streets of Musutafu, she didn't leave that far from the idol. But roaming the streets so late at night didn't sit well in her stomach.

Her shoes clicked against the concert sidewalk as she made her way home, she watched a couple of heros on night poral. It put her at ease just a bit, just seven years ago she was one of those heroes back at him. Fable sighed bitterly, she truly misses those days when she first arrived in japan. The woman entertained the idea of debuting here, after a couple of years living on the islands but things happened.

Fable silently cursed Yuuei for bringing back, her love for being a hero. She can't deny how much she missed the job, she missed saving others. Keeping her home safe, yes, she would be rusty. Hell, she's a Miller and Millers always bounce back no matter what. she was a hell of a hero before she went on the hiatus. There's a lot of hero agencies here, or should she just open her own one then, on the other hand, she just continued to just work at the school.

The young woman continued her path home, her breathing growing shallow she leaned against one the buildings to catch her breath. Rubbing her hands against her stomach, Fable pushed herself up and continued her journey home. A few minutes later her feet started to ache and cry with each step, maybe she shouldn't have stormed out like a toddler. If she didn't then she would have a ride home. It was too late for taking it back now, all she had to do was to get to the train station and everything would be set.

"You'll make a perfect meat shield" a voice came from behind the woman, as someone grabbed her arm and pulled her into the ally way. Dread sank to the pitch of Fable's stomach as she slowly turned her head. The villain behind her was absolutely monstrous, with the face of a wild dog. Beady blood red eyed gleaming under the dim street lights, his maw was pulled into a vicious snarl bearing his dangerous canines. Not thinking Fable immediately shot a high-pressure blast of water at the villain through the palm of her hand. Using his shock to back away from the beast man.

Mind racing, she pushed the panic to the back of her mind, scanning her surroundings for any sign of law enforcement or heroes. She doesn't see but hear the sirens ringing, shallowing thickly Fable nodded grimly knowing that she had to hold the villain off until back up arrived. Her only other way of escape was the opening in the ally that the beast man was blocking.

"Bitch hold still" the villain swiped at her claws cutting the skin of her arms, "I wasn't going to hurt you…but now"

"Fuck you" Fable sneered at the villain as she fell on her rear, putting up a water barrier between her and the villain. Fable scooted further away from the beast, watching him angerly try to claw through the liquid wall.

YOU WERE A HERO!

YOU SHOULDN'T BE COWARDING LIKE THIS!

FOR SHAME.

Fable gritted her teeth together, the voiced where right! She could do better than this forcing herself up on to her resisting feet. The dark-skinned woman turned the barrier into another blast pushing villain out of the ally. Ignoring the aches in her body and the pain her feet Fable summon two aqua-beings to hold the villain in place. Looking back at the villain she realized he wasn't that hard to defeat, most likely she was dealing with a young inexperienced villain.

"STOP VILLAIN!" Fable let out a breath of relief when she heard the voiced of the law enforcement, maybe after the processed him, they can give her a right home, with that she gave a small smile.

"I'm oka-" Fable's smile dropped when the police pushed down to the grown and handcuffed her. The dam holding back the flood of panic broke as her stomach harshly hit the concert ground, "G-GET OFF! MY CHILDREN" the woman's eyes blurred with tears. The men continued to push her further into the ground as the offender got away.

They thought she was the villain.

"You pushed a pregnant woman to the ground and arrested her!" he sergeant yelled at the party that not only had arrested her and dragged her to the station but let the offender go. Fable was still cuffed but only to the interrogation table as she watched the two officers argue.

"Can I go home?" she pipped up, completely done with this night already, since she arrived here they treated her like a criminal until the higher up showed up. As it turns out she looked nothing like the villain, that had a dog from quirk. Wow! Who would had guessed it, not these two air heads.

"She was using her quirk in public! What else should we had done" one of the arresting of the officers yelled pointing a finger at her.

"Oh, I don't know to see who I was fighting before violently pushing me down on the side walk," Fable said dryly "and maybe not letting him get away…I don't know maybe that" she shrugged. The two men glared at her, but the young woman just rolled her eyes. They haven't even allowed her to be checked up by a doctor.

"Maybe if you weren't using your quirk without a proper license my partner and I would have" the man tried to grasp at straws.

"OH MY GOD!" Fable groaned loudly "I DO HAVE MY LICENSE! Maybe if you actually looked it up and take damn responsibly that you're wrong …this the whole thing could be put to bed" Fable growled out, as she clenched her fist.

"You can't speak to me like this!" her arresting office slammed his hands down on the table pure unfiltered rage in his eyes.

"And you can treat a pregnant woman like this?" she growled back, "I did nothing wrong and you refuse to believe it because that would make you wrong"

"Ms. Rain Drop" the door open for a sharply dressed man to enter with a briefcase, "I'm so sorry for mistreatment here"

"Who?" the arresting officer blinked dumbly. Glancing at the man with chopper skin and jet-black locks.

"Rain Drop, a hero that transferred her from America, other known as Miller Fable" the man slammed down on her files on the table. The sergeant picked up the files and flipped through them, his face slowly loosing color.

"Let her go! Now!" the sergeant wiped his brow, "I'm so sorry Miller-san" the man bowed deeply in front of her before uncuffing the young woman. Fable scoffed looking down at the man with distaste and rubbed her wrist.

"Thank you," Fable said drily, but trying towards the man she smiled softly "thank you, Morgan"

"My pleasure" the man bowed down to the younger woman, "I came as soon as I heard the call"

"For once I'm glad my papa talked me into bringing you with me" Fable walked out the dull room with the three officers behind. August Morgan, was one of the lawyers under her father's influence. When Fable older her father, Oscar, that she was moving the thing he wanted her was her to bring August Morgan one of his best lawyers. Running her hands through her hair, the woman offends think that this was her father's plan for her to end up with the young lawyer.

"I'm sorry that this had to happen to you, Ms. Miller" the man walked shoulder by shoulder

"Whatever…I just want to get home" she groaned before turning towards the man shaking his hand, "again thank you Morgan"

"I can drop you home" the man opened the door of his car parked in front of the building, Fable wanted to say no but her feet said otherwise.

"I would like that" she sat in the passer seat, as the Morgan sat in the driver's side and took off. Fable leaned against the window as the man drives her home, it's not that she doesn't fancy him she just doesn't like his cockiness.

"So, will today be the day I'll get to see your lover?" the man grinned widely, as he pulled up to the apartment complex.

"No" Fable stepped out of the car, "do you think he'll want to talk to anyone once I enter our apartment…I don't think so…try again". Fable said her thanks and good byes before turning towards the apartment, knowing that Toshi was worried out of his mind. She just hopes that he won't be too peeved at her.
