MIDORIYA

"Why don't we eat and talk about it over dinner," he says walking over to me. He kisses my cheek. "What were you and Kirishima talking about. You were beaming with joy for the most part." I laugh nervously as I get our plates ready.

"He wants Bakugou to bond him," I explain ignoring the last hint he is throwing out there.

"I'm surprised that Bakugou hasn't," says Todoroki getting out two glasses.

"What makes you say that?" I ask although I wondered the same thing.

"It's an alpha thing," says Todoroki. "We call tell when the alpha loves their omega and he certainly loves Kirishima."

"That's great news!" I exclaim. "No reason for Bakugou to tell him no." I'm glad to know that Kirishima has no reason to be nervous. I'm more than positive now that Bakugou will accept his offer to bond. "Are you getting out the wine?" I begin to prepare our plates.

"No," replied Todoroki. "I think we need to drink some water."

"That's fine," I reply. "I need to get to the gym anyway, I'm getting flabby."

"You're not flabby," says Todoroki sitting the glasses on the table. I carry our plates over sitting them in our usual spots. "You look perfectly fine."

"If you say so," I say sitting down at the table. We begin to dig into our dinner. I am trying to think of what to say. Todoroki ends up beating me to the punch.

"So I noticed you haven't had your heat," noted Todoroki before causally chewing. My heart skips a beat. Of course, I noticed. I just keep hoping it will show up, sometimes it can be late. I try to push my thoughts aside of what Kirishima said. I could have easily taken the test that I have back at home but…..I don't want to…..I'm scared to.

"You keep up with that?" I ask trying to keep my nerves down. "I mean I have to but I didn't expect you to keep up with it."

"You're my mate," he states. "How could I not. Are you not worried?"

"Not really," I replied. "I mean I have been stressed or whatever. I'm not complaining, with finals, us bonding, it was a lot going during that time. I'm glad to not have a heat." Todoroki chews some of his food before sitting a box on the table. I glance at the box noticing right away it's a pregnancy test. I begin to feel frightened. "Todoroki…."

"I'm not asking," he states firmly. "You're taking this test." I go back to staring at my plate. I really don't want to take it, I just can't have a baby right now. I mean things are going so well. They are going better than I ever imagined. I know Todoroki wants a family, he promised to love me, take care of me…..but a part of me still doesn't want a baby. "You will be fine even if you are."

"I know but it wasn't on my to-do list okay," I reply. Todoroki looks at me and I can feel my words hurt him. "It has nothing to do with you."

"I already know you're pregnant for sure," says Todoroki. "I haven't knotted you one time since we bonded. I just this test to confirm everything."

"How can you be so sure?" I asked. "Besides we are a fated pair. Who is to say you are suppose to knot me? Science could be against us for all we know!"

"We forgot to use protection more than a couple of times," says Todoroki. "Mostly during your heat and a few times after. Us being a fated pair shouldn't interfere with me knotting you. It's a part of the process to conceive unless you already are." I bit my lip trying to keep it together.

"Did you really forget to put on protection?" I ask.

"You know I did," he says tilting his head. I can feel his fury within me for asking did he forget. I mean he wanted a family. What the hell am I suppose to think? "Look, this is nothing for us to be fighting over."

"I wasn't fighting," I reply feeling embarrassed. I can't believe I forgot to tell him to wrap things up during my heat. I was just so glad to…I don't know how to say it tactfully, connecting with him I guess. I can't believe I could be so stupid but he felt so good inside of me. I just don't want to admit that. I'm pretty much at fault too. I stepped in when I could telling him to use a condom but I guess it wasn't enough. I sigh because it is not like we can't afford to have a baby. I just want to focus on my work. A baby change all of that.

"Don't feel bad," says Todoroki. I can feel his shyness although it doesn't show. "I enjoyed making love to you too without protection. I could have said something but I didn't. I would apologize but I am not sorry for making love to my mate in the manner that pleased us both." I look at him with so much admiration. I nod my head yes in agreement with him. I only remember us forgetting the condom one time but one time is all it takes. It felt beyond amazing. He certainly knows how I feel since we are so connected. I snatch the test off the table walking to the bathroom. Todoroki doesn't try to stop me. He's not happy with how I'm taking this but how did he think I would take this. I'm only 20 years old, I'm in school, I'm working…..oh god how can I be a hero if I'm pregnant! I take the test following the instructions. I lean against the bathroom counter waiting for it to be ready. Deep down just like Todoroki I already know the results. I open the bathroom door and Todoroki is standing right there. He holds his arms out to me. He isn't smiling or frowning, he just wants to comfort me. I fall into his arms holding on so tight.

"S-Shouto…"I sob before laying against his chest.

"It's going to be okay," says Todoroki rubbing his scent into my hair. "We're going to be okay." He kisses the top of my curly hair as I allow the positive test to fall to the ground. I bury my face further into his chest as I begin to cry.

Author's Note: I was almost not going to make it to getting this chapter up. I have been feeling really down mentally. Some great friends helped me( you know who you are ) and I feel a little bit better. Anyway we all knew Midoriya was pregnant XD…..Feel free to guess the baby gender! Next chapter is going to be intense.
