MIDORIYA

A MONTH LATER

I'm happy with the fact that I'm pregnant. I'm still not too thrilled about it being 5 kids but I'm happy to be pregnant none the less. Our appointment was a success. The doctor was super excited to know we conceived so soon, not that it was planned but they don't need to know that. I haven't told my family yet and I can only imagine how that is going to go. Todoroki doesn't want anything stressing me so he is only allowing me to work, no school. Trust me this was not an argument I would win so I agreed. I didn't care for school that much anyway. I rub my 3-month belly that looks more like 4 months. Right now I probably look more fat than pregnant. God, I hope the babies wouldn't be too crowded in there.

Being on desk duty sucks though. I spend time surfing the internet until there is something for me to do. I pretty much file reports and do research on villains when need be. Every time the criminals or villains are arrested we add more to their paperwork. Sometimes I wonder why do they keep trying? What is driving them? I look up from my current stack to see Mirio walking over to me. I haven't seen him since…..Neko kidnapped me. I shake off the fear that goes through me just thinking about him. He is locked up still awaiting trial which is next week. Not much to ask in my opinion but the rules need to be followed for everyone including him. Mirio smiles brightly at me as he gets closer.

"Hey Izuku," he greets. "How are you feeling?" I know what he is hinting at and I don't want to talk about it.

"I'm fine," I reply. "Tamaki isn't off for another 30 minutes."

"I know I came here to see you," he says.

"Oh," I replied. "You could have called or text."

"I wanted to speak in person," he replies. "Do you have some time to talk?" I think about it for a moment.

"I guess I could take my 15," I say thoughtfully. "Did you want to go for a short walk?"

"Whatever you want to do," says Mirio almost laughing. "This is your break and I'm crashing it." I lock my computer and files in my desk before walking with Mirio out of the station. Todoroki would be glad to know I am going on a walk. Trying to keep me as active as possible while I can. Nothing too bad but just a little activity.

"I can tell something is on your mind," I tell Mirio looking at him. "I swear I'm recovering from what happened. Please don't worry about me so much." I'm really shaken and glad to be on desk duty at the moment. It would be really hard for me to focus and being pregnant isn't helping. I actually feel jumpier compared to before. I'm not use to be taken off guard. It happened not once but twice.

"It's not that," says Mirio as we start to walk down the street. "I wanted to talk about the pregnancy." Oh god…

"You haven't told anyone have you?" I asked. "Only select people know. I still need to tell my mom."

"Are you serious?" asked Mirio looking down at my belly. I blush hard.

"I'm sure some people have figured it out," I reply. "I have been really busy so I haven't gone by to see my mom yet."

"Oh," says Mirio. "She must hate that. I know she probably misses you a lot."

"She does," I reply. "I talk to her often so she is okay. If you run into her please don't tell her,"

"You know I wouldn't do that to you," he says looking at me. "So I wanted to talk about how we didn't use protection that one time…" I feel ill as I do recall that moment. He was in a rut and refused to put a condom on. "I'm sorry, I didn't want you to feel bad but I wanted to make sure it is not my baby you are carrying." I instinctively place my hands over my stomach thinking no these are Todoroki's children, not yours. "You can stay with your mate but I want to be there for our kids if they're mine."

"Slow down," I say almost out of breath from shock. I can hear my phone buzzing and it's Todoroki. "I need to take this." I turn away from Mirio. "Hey…."

"Are you okay?" asked Todoroki skipping pleasantries. "I can feel your anxiety increase, what's going on?"

"I'm fine," I sigh. "We can talk about it when I get home."

"I won't be able to focus until I know what's wrong," says Todoroki. "You're carrying our children so I'm going to be more on edge about these things." I sigh because he most certainly is but I don't blame him especially after what happened.

"I know," I replied. "I'm on a 15-minute break so I don't have long to talk since I'm chatting with some other people."

"Other people?" says Todoroki. "Is that why you're on edge? I know you don't want a lot of people knowing. Although you are getting a little big there."

"Well jeez thanks," I say before smiling. "I need to go I'm being so rude right now." Todoroki chuckles.

"All right, I will see you when you get home," he replies. "Take care of yourself okay."

"I will, bye," I say ending the call.

"Other people," says Mirio. He is unable to keep his emotions in check. I can scent that he is not happy I didn't tell Todoroki I was talking to him. Mirio being an alpha he should understand that Todoroki would more than likely be flipping his shit right now. "Is that what I am now?"

"You're an alpha I use to mate and now I'm pregnant," I explain. "My alpha would try to kill you." After Neko, I know Todoroki will not hesitate to attack, friend or foe.

"So how are you going to tell him about me possibly being the father?" asked Mirio. I wish he would stop saying that. It's too upsetting for me to even consider that.

"You let me worry about that," I reply trying not to snap at him. I know he can smell my discomfort and he lets it go. He starts telling me about his job and what he has been up to. I admire how I don't speak to him as often but he never lets me feel that way. It's sad that I'm listening but not at the same time I'm not. I have a lot on my mind. My break is half over and we start to make our way back.

"I guess you have to get back to work," says Mirio as we get close to the building.

"Yeah," I say slowing down my walk. There is this uncomfortable silence between us. "Once I inform Todoroki I will let you know and we can go from there." I stop walking and sigh. "I honestly don't know how we are going to handle this besides doing a DNA test. I really don't want to put the children at risk." Mirio nods.

"I understand," he says. "I just appreciate you trying to find out the truth."

"Of course," I reply.

"Can I hug you?" asked Mirio. I look at him and he looks so sad I can't say no. I nod yes. Mirio leans down hugging me. He is hugging me tightly but not too tight. I pat his back lightly before he pulls back placing his hand on my stomach. I'm a little choked up because what if these babies are his, no, they can't be. Sadly, I can't ignore the fact they could be. My eyes shoot up feeling my mate. The fury rolling off of him is just as intense as the day he rescued me from Neko. I look around searching for Todoroki knowing he is here.

"What's wrong?" asked Mirio. How can he not feel that? Scent it?

"Mirio…,"I say continuing to scan the area. I hear Todoroki's growl as he comes flying out of nowhere tackling Mirio to the ground. Where the hell did he come from? They both hit the ground. Mirio reaches out to strike Todoroki which he dodges to the left before moving off of Mirio. Todoroki releases a dark protective growl that gets the attention of everyone around us. Mirio is growling as him and Todoroki start to circle each other, waiting, ready to fight, to draw first blood. Todoroki is beyond mad, I can feel his fury making my skin burn slightly.

"You dare touch my omega!" screams Todoroki. I have never seen him yell at anyone. My heart is beating so hard in my chest as I don't know what to do.

"Those could be my babies too you know!" says Mirio.

"The hell it is!" yells Todoroki as people start to run for cover with his anger rising.

"Todoroki…."I whimper as I fall to my knees. I hate being seen as weak but in this case I'm thankful. He immediately turns away from Mirio which I know was hard for him to do. I can feel his alpha still wanting to fight Mirio. Todoroki runs over helping me stand up. I feel dizzy, I don't have the strength to pick up my head. Todoroki can feel it through our bond.

"Midoriya what's wrong?" he asked rushing me inside the building. He leads me to sit down on a bench in the lobby.
