Their honeymoon ended up being put off until the beginning of September due to a sudden spike in crimes that required either a strong set of arms/legs or a combat to the elements. By the time September rolled around both men were completely drained and ready for a vacation and some much needed couple time. Cuddling is nice but, they've been ready for the next step since they got married in spring.
Izuku collapsed on their bed freshly showered, "I have been ready for this for months."
Shouto comes over and nuzzles his husband, "Villains are a pain in the ass." He agrees giving Izuku a soft kiss that earns him a happy sigh and a hug that drags him onto the bed. "I want a family with you." he says quietly.
"Me too." Izuku replies pulling Shouto onto his chest. "But, for now we have a 3 am flight and we should sleep." Shouto nods curling up in his husband's arms and drifting off almost immediately. Izuku began to softly snore shortly after his face buried in Shouto's hair. 3 am came way too soon in his opinion but, Shouto loved to cuddle and hated to get up when he was safely tucked in his husband's arms. After some hassle and trying to avoid the press at the airport they boarded a plane to Nassau Island. Shouto fell asleep curled up against Izuku in their first class seats which turned into a hammock like bed. Izuku he could tell was reading or snoozing himself. He did rouse Shouto to eat when the food cart came around but, was content cuddling otherwise. The 17 hour flight was uneventful aside from some turbulence that led to Shouto crying into Izuku's shoulder. "Shh it's just turbulence." He soothed his husband stroking his hair. He kisses his hair and holds him close until the plane is past the rough air. Shouto hiccups and looks up at him through his bangs, "It okay to be scared." Izuku assures him kissing his nose drawing a blush out of his husband. They arrived at Nassau Island at 4pm local time and immediately head for the hotel after claiming their luggage. "Wow." Izuku breathes once they get to Atlantis Hotel.
"Y-yea." Shouto agrees weakly as Izuku checks them in. Once they get to their room they strip and shower together. Izuku promises that they can go further later as they change for a much needed date night. By the time they get back it's 1 am and they're both too drunk to even think about sex. The next day Shouto feels hot when he wakes up and looking back he should have known what the sudden fever meant. Izuku says they can go out later once their hangovers are gone. He agrees but, their day out ends up being Izuku becoming oddly agitated and protective of him. By the time they get back to their room Izuku is red faced as is Shouto and they decide to stay in after placing the do not disturb sign on the door. They had a very good night and every day after that was even better. Their month long honeymoon is over before they know it and they head to the airport to return to Tokyo.
Shouto has felt off ever since they returned from Nassau but, he assumed it was a random travel related bug. He missed one day of work when the nausea and vomiting spells kept him worshipping their toilet or in bed with a hot water bottle on his belly to ease the cramps. The next day he felt fine and went to work like normal. As the months passed he had random bouts of odd cravings but, he and Izuku figured it was stress as their recent case was ongoing and very stressful. Stupid cannibalistic crime rings and no that was not something he ever thought would exist in the world of heroes. It was March when he first noticed that he'd gained weight and pinches gently at his belly sniffling, "Zuku am I fat?" He says suddenly startling his husband.
"What brought this on?" Izuku asks setting the iron aside and going to him.
"I'm fat…" He replies pinching the slight pudge that he'd gained. Izuku hugs him and gently rubs his belly.
"Stress eating is a thing babe. We both are very guilty of that lately. You're not fat though."
"I'm n-not?" Shouto asks wondering why in Kami's name he's suddenly so sensitive about his weight.
"No you're perfect but, if it's bothering you we can start going to the gym again?" Izuku replies nuzzling his neck. Shouto feels angry suddenly and pulls away startling his husband who sees the anger and puts his hands up, "It's your body in the end…" He says weakly.
"Humph!" Shouto storms off into their bedroom and slams the door before starting to cry making Izuku worry but, he gives Shouto his space to cool off. He goes to the room once the ironing is finished opening the door.
"Sho?" he goes into their room and finds a lump in their bed. "Honey are you okay?" Shouto looks up at him tears going down his cheeks and hugs him sobbing apologies. "Aw no… shhh shhh." Izuku rocks him and cuddles him until he stops crying. "I'm not mad just confused mostly?" He kisses Shouto's head and runs his fingers through his hair.
"W-what's wrong with m-me?" Shouto sobs confused himself.
"I don't know Sho but, we'll get through this odd funk together." Izuku soothes and he smiles.
He visits Recovery Girl the next day Recovery Girl examines him for several minutes before he's allowed to lower his legs and redress. "You're seven months pregnant." She tells him and he freezes,
"I'm w-what?!" He squeaks. "I c-can't be...I was t-told I'm an alpha…."
" Given your upbringing it doesn't shock me that your second gender was misread as exactly what Enji wanted to hear." She sighs discarding her gloves and telling him to lift his shirt. He obeys and she pours cold gelon his belly, "Everything seems fine." She turns the machine off and wipes the gel off. She tells him to go home and rest.
Shouto thanks her and leaves shell shocked a self care book and folder in his hands. He gets back to the flat and goes to their bedroom knowing Izuku is at work and won't be home for a few more hours. Tears fill his eyes as he fully realizes, "Oh my god I'm going to be a mother…" He whispers to the empty bedroom. He smiles hugging his belly excited to tell his husband the news as soon as he gets home.
Izuku doesn't come home that night….
