Hey guys, here is the next chapter and this time it revolves around Izuku and Ochako. It's going to be a bit long get comfortable and enjoy!
The day Ochako and Izuku have been waiting for has finally arrived! They were so excited and getting through the school day proved to be difficult. It felt like the school hours dragged on longer than usual. Ochako and Izuku understood how Momo and Shoto felt. When school was finally over, Ochako and Izuku headed to their dorm rooms. Ochako closed the door, sat her backpack down, and immediately started to change out of her school uniform. While she was changing, she looked at her reflection in the mirror. She stared at herself for a minute or so. She still looked the same, but she knew that will soon change. She placed her hand on her lower abdomen and smiled.
"I can't wait to see you baby," Ochako said softly
She went back to getting dressed. Once she was in regular clothes, she set aside her school uniform and tidied up her room a bit. She suddenly got a text notification. Ochako stopped what she was doing and got her phone. It was from Izuku. She opened her phone and went to his message:
Izuku: Hey Ochako, are you almost ready to go?
Ochako: Yes I am. I was just about to head down in a minute.
Izuku: Okay. We can catch the next train in about 15 minutes if you want.
Ochako: Sure!
Izuku: I know we'd be a little early, but I'm just so excited.
Ochako: Me too. I can't wait to see our baby.
Izuku: After your appointment who did you want to visit first, your parents or my mom?
Ochako: I think we should visit your mom first. She is closer and I'd love to see her again.
Izuku: I'm glad. You know my mom really likes you.
Ochako: I'm happy to hear that. Okay, I'm about to head down. I'll see you outside in a few minutes.
Izuku: See you soon.
Ochako closed her phone and put it in her pocket. She then went back to the mirror and tried to fix up her hair a bit. She made sure she had everything before leaving her room. She made it outside and saw Izuku already waiting for her. He had a smile on his face.
"Ready?" asked Izuku
"Of course I am," said Ochako
"Let's get going."
Izuku and Ochako left UA campus together and headed towards the station. They got on the train just in time. Once the doors closed, Izuku and Ochako found a place to sit. They held hands as they waited to get off at their stop. About 10 minutes later, they reached their stop. They walked off the train and left the station. Izuku had his phone out and was using the GPS to help them get to the private hospital. The walk from the station wasn't very long. It took them about 5 minutes to reach the private hospital.
(Private Hospital)
Izuku and Ochako held hands as they entered the building and made their way to Obstetrics & Gynecology office. When they entered, they only saw 3 people in there waiting. None of them looked familiar to Izuku and Ochako, which relieved both of them. Ochako went to get checked in while Izuku found a place for them to sit. He figured it was best to stay away from the others in the waiting room. Drawing attention was the last thing they wanted. Izuku sat down and looked at the stack of magazines. Most of them were about pregnancies and others were about newborn infants. As he started going through them, Ochako approached and sat down. She saw Izuku going through the stack of magazines and decided to look too. It took a few minutes for them to each find a magazine that caught their interest. Izuku looked through a magazine about newborns while Ochako looked through a magazine about pregnancies and stories from mothers. As they read, the other people in the room were being called. This was fine with Ochako and Izuku since they were hoping to be the last ones called.
"Oh wow!" exclaimed Ochako
"What is it?" asked Izuku
"I just read this story about a mother who gave birth on a plane and her baby wasn't due for quite sometime."
"Wow! That sounds scary."
"Yeah, but thankfully the baby survived."
"Well, that's good news."
"Izuku I don't want to travel on a plane anytime soon."
"Why would you?"
"I'm just saying I don't want to get on a plane."
"Don't worry. It's not going to happen."
"Well what are you reading?"
"I'm reading about newborns. It's pretty interesting. Did you know newborns love being swaddled and hearing your heartbeat if you have them lay on your chest?"
"I'll have to remember that once our baby arrives."
They continued to read through the magazines until Ochako was called by the nurse. Izuku and Ochako sat the magazines back with the others, stood up and walked to the nurse.
"Good afternoon Miss Uraraka. How are you today?" asked the nurse
"I'm doing fine and I'm excited," she replied
"So am I," said Izuku
"Well you should be. Follow me so we can get you setup and into ultrasound," said the nurse
Ochako and Izuku followed the nurse into an area where Ochako was weighed, had her blood pressure checked, temperature checked, etc. The nurse wrote down each of the results. Once she was done, she led Ochako and Izuku into a dimly lit room. They looked around the room which wasn't very big. It had an exam table, a few machines, a screen on the wall, and some other things.
"Miss Uraraka, you can have a seat on the exam table and you can have a seat there," the nurse said to them
"Thank you," said Izuku while taking a seat
"The doctor will be in soon," said the nurse
She stepped out and left the door halfway open. Ochako sighed loudly as Izuku stood up and took her hand.
"How are you feeling?" he asked
"I feel excited and I'm happy that we finally get to see our baby," she replied
"I'm happy too."
"I wonder what our baby looks like."
"Well it's still small and probably still looks like an embryo. Don't worry, our baby will grow."
"I know that. I just hope it's healthy."
"I hope so too."
Izuku leaned in and gave Ochako a kiss. The doctor entered the room which caught both their attention.
"Hi there Miss Uraraka, I'm Dr. Hikari and I'll be doing your ultrasound today," she said
"Hello," said Ochako
"And you must be dad," said Dr. Hikari
"Yes ma'am," said Izuku
"I'm glad you're here. Shall we get started? Miss. Uraraka, please lay down and lift up your shirt," said Dr. Hikari
"Okay," she replied
Ochako slowly lied down on the exam table and lifted up her shirt as Dr. Hikari setup the ultrasound machine. It hummed as she tapped some keys. Izuku took Ochako's hand and held it. She looked up at him and saw a smile on his face. Izuku softly stroked his thumb across Ochako's knuckles. Dr. Hikari walked back over to them with a gel bottle and a paper mat. She placed the paper mat below Ochako's lower abdomen and slightly tucked it in the front of her pants. She then picked up the gel bottle.
"Don't worry, this gel is warm. Are you ready?" she asked
"Yes," Ochako replied
Izuku watched as Dr. Hikari squirted some of the warm gel on Ochako's belly. Dr. Hikari then took the ultrasound wand and moved it around on Ochako's belly. Izuku and Ochako looked towards the screen. It was dark at first, but then the inside of Ochako's womb appeared. Dr. Hikari continued to the move wand around on Ochako's belly.
"Okay baby, where are you?" asked Dr. Hikari
"Is something wrong?" asked Izuku a bit concerned
"Oh no, don't worry. When babies are this tiny it takes a minute or two to find them. It's like they're hiding."
"Oh I see."
"There's the baby!"
Izuku immediately turned his attention towards the screen. Ochako continued to watch the screen, never taking her eyes off of it. Dr. Hikari zoomed in and started taking measurements and even pictures. Izuku and Ochako were in awe. Smiles spread across their faces. Mrs. Nori had shown them many art drawings of babies at different stages, but this time they were looking at a living baby, their baby. Dr. Hikari pointed out to them where the baby's head, arms, and legs were. Izuku continued to smile while Ochako began to tear up.
"Would you guys like to hear the baby's heartbeat?" asked Dr. Hikari
"Yes, we'd love to," said Izuku excitedly
Dr. Hikari tapped some keys on the ultrasound machine and a fast paced whumping sound echoed through the room. Tears formed in Izuku's eyes while tears poured out from Ochako's eyes. Listening to their baby's heartbeat was amazing and it was so beautiful. They got to listen for a few minutes until Dr. Hikari turned it off. She continued to move the wand around on Ochako's belly and examine the baby.
"Okay by the looks of it, you are 9 weeks along. You're near the end of the first trimester," said Dr. Hikari
"Oh wow!" said Ochako
"Do you know when Ochako's due?" asked Izuku
"Yes, she's due July 10th," said Dr. Hikari
"Hey, that's close to your birthday Izuku," said Ochako happily
"Well how about that? You'll have to have a double celebration," said Dr. Hikari
"We will," said Izuku happily
"I'll go ahead and print out a few pictures."
"Oh would you print out some extras please? We want to give a copy to our parents."
"Sure!"
Dr. Hikari began printing out the pictures and then reset the ultrasound machine when she was finished. She handed the ultrasound photos to Izuku and paper towels to Ochako. She then grabbed her clipboard and began writing things down while Ochako slowly sat up and cleaned the gel off her belly. Izuku threw the paper towels away while Ochako pulled her shirt back down and straightened it out.
"Everything looks good and baby is doing very well. Miss Uraraka, are you taking your prenatal vitamins?" asked Dr. Hikari
"Yes ma'am, everyday," she replied
"Very good, keep taking them everyday. Also maintain a healthy diet."
"I will."
"Make sure you don't go overboard on the sweets. It's okay to treat yourself once in a while, but not all the time."
"I got it."
"Okay, I'll see you again in 3 weeks. Keep in mind that the next appointment will be a regular checkup."
"You mean I won't get to see the baby again?"
"You will when you're 20 weeks along?"
"Why does it have to be that long?" asked Izuku
"It's not good to perform so many ultrasounds. It can cause problems for the baby," said Dr. Hikari
"Oh, we didn't know that," said Ochako
"Don't worry though. You can hear your baby's heartbeat at every appointment," said Dr. Hikari
"How?" asked Izuku
"I use a device called a fetal doppler. It checks the baby's heart rate and is required at all regular routine checkups," said Dr. Hikari
"Does it hurt?" asked Ochako
"No, not at all. You'll see at your next appointment."
"Okay."
"Do you two have any questions?"
"I can't think of anything," said Ochako
"I can't either," said Izuku
"Well then I'll see you guys again in 3 weeks. You can setup your next appointment at the front desk before you leave," said Dr. Hikari
"Thank you," said Ochako
"Yes, thank you," said Izuku
Dr. Hikari left the room as Izuku helped Ochako off the exam table. Izuku grabbed the ultrasound photos and followed Ochako out of the room. When they got back to the waiting room, Ochako went to setup her next appointment at the front desk while Izuku sent a quick text to his mother.
Izuku: Hey mom, Ochako just got done with her appointment. We're going to come by and visit for a bit. We should be there soon. I can't wait to tell you how the appointment went. Love you.
Izuku put his phone away as Ochako approached him.
"Shall we?" she asked
"We shall," Izuku replied
(Train Station)
They held hands as they made their way out of the private hospital and to the station. It was going to take about 10 minutes or so to get to the apartment. Once they made it on the train and waited for their stop, Izuku and Ochako looked at their ultrasound photos. They couldn't stop looking at their baby.
"I'm so glad we finally got to see him or her," said Ochako
"Me too and hearing our baby's heartbeat was incredible. I just can't get over it," said Izuku
"It is truly amazing."
"It still blows my mind that our baby is growing inside you."
"Well that's how the beginning of life works."
Izuku placed his hand on Ochako's lower belly and then leaned over to give her a kiss. Ochako kissed him back and rested her head on his shoulder. She sighed happily as she watched things pass by through the window.
(Midoriya's Apartment)
Izuku and Ochako happily walked up to the door and knocked. Inko answered in a matter of seconds.
"Hey you two!" she said happily
"Hi mom," said Izuku
"Afternoon Mrs. Midoriya," said Ochako
"Sweetie you can call me Inko," said Inko
"I hope this is a good time," said Izuku
"It's always a good time. Come on in you two," said Inko
Izuku and Ochako took off their shoes in the entry way before making their way to the living room. To their surprise, Mitsuki was there. She was sitting on the sofa drinking some tea.
"Oh, hello Mrs. Bakugo," said Ochako surprised
"I'm sorry mom, I didn't know you had company over," said Izuku
"Hey is that any way to say hello to your auntie Mitsuki?" she questioned
"No. Sorry auntie Mitsuki," said Izuku sheepishly
"Well come over here you two. There's plenty of room," said Mitsuki
Ochako and Izuku each sat beside Mitsuki while Inko went into the kitchen to get more tea and snacks. Mitsuki reached over and gave Izuku a hug and then did the same to Ochako.
"So what's new? How are you feeling honey?" Mitsuki asked Ochako
"I'm feeling great. I actually had my first ultrasound today," she replied
"Yeah I know. Inko told me and also said you two would be visiting. I want to hear all about it."
"Um…..Mrs. Bakugo?"
"Yes sweetie?"
"You didn't tell Katsuki anything did you?"
"Don't worry sweetie. Your secret is safe with me. I never tell Katsuki any secrets. The brat can figure it out by himself."
"It isn't that we don't want to keep this secret from him or any of our other classmates. We just still have to be cautious about this," said Izuku
"It's already bad enough that a few of our classmates discovered our secret," said Ochako
"And Katsuki still doesn't know? HA!" said Mitsuki
Inko came back from the kitchen with more tea and snacks. She set the tray down and made herself comfortable.
"Well, how did your appointment go?" Inko asked
"It went well and I'm 9 weeks along. My due date is July 10th. I'm also glad that we finally got to see the baby," said Ochako
"Here mom, this is for you," said Izuku handing her an ultrasound photo
Inko happily accepted it and gazed at the photo. A smile spread across her face and tears formed in her eyes.
"Awe, that's my grandbaby," she said happily
"Oh let me see! Gimmie, gimmie," said Mitsuki holding out her hand
Inko handed the ultrasound photo to her and she happily looked at it. Mitsuki smiled and awed at the baby.
"What a precious baby. You two are truly blessed," she said
"Thank you auntie Mitsuki," said Izuku
"I can tell he's going to be wonderful," said Mitsuki
"He?" questioned Inko
"How do you know it's a boy?" asked Ochako
"I can just sense it," said Mitsuki
"Oh like the time you sensed our boys will be girls?" questioned Inko
"Wait what?" questioned Ochako
"Mom, no one wants to hear that story," said Izuku embarrassed
"I do!" said Ochako happily
"Come on Izuku, it's a great story. Let your mother tell it," said Mitsuki
Izuku blushed as he sighed. He grabbed some snacks and started munching on them.
"When Mitsuki and I were pregnant, she really believed that we were going to have girls. She begged Masaru to take us shopping for baby girl clothes," said Inko
"Did you buy any?" asked Ochako
"You bet we did. Well, at least I bought a few. Inko only bought one outfit," said Mitsuki
"That's because Hisashi wanted me to wait till we knew and didn't want me to get my hopes up," said Inko
"Were you disappointed when you found out I wasn't a girl?" asked Izuku
"Of course not honey. I was going to be happy with a boy or a girl. When I finally found out, I was over the moon. Your father was also happy too," Inko replied
"Well I admit that I was disappointed a bit. I was looking forward to dressing you two up in cute dresses, taking photos, setting up those cute tea parties," said Mitsuki
"But you were still happy about Katsuki," said Inko
"Of course I was. He may be a pain in the ass, but I love him. I'll always love my baby."
"So what happened to those girl clothes you bought?" asked Ochako
"Well I had to take all of it back to the store, but Inko held onto that outfit," said Mitsuki
"Why did you hold onto it mom?" asked Izuku
"Well Izuku, I had hoped that someday I would have another child and it would be a girl," said Inko
"You wanted more kids?"
"Yes. I didn't like the idea of you being an only child. I was worried about you growing up feeling lonely. I had hoped to give you a sibling and your father liked the idea too. Unfortunately it didn't work out that way. Your father's job had him transferred overseas and he couldn't say no. He left when you were three years old."
"Mom, I was never lonely. I had you, aunt Mitsuki, uncle Masaru, and Kacchan. I still remember a lot of the fun things we did together too."
"Oh baby."
Inko started to tear up. Izuku got up from his seat and gave his mom a hug. Ochako found the moment very sweet. It warmed her heart. After a few minutes, Izuku sat back down and Mitsuki handed the ultrasound photo back to Inko.
"So are you two going to find out the gender?" asked Mitsuki
"We thought about that and made the decision to be surprised," said Ochako
"That's wonderful," said Inko
"I wouldn't have been able to wait that long, but I'm happy that you two want to be surprised in the delivery room," said Mitsuki
"Are you hoping for a boy or a girl?" asked Inko
"Our hearts are open to either one. No matter what this baby is going to be, we're going to love it," said Ochako
"I'm so happy to hear that," said Inko
"Did you get to hear the heartbeat?" asked Mitsuki
"Yes we did. It was amazing," said Izuku
"I cried tears of joy," said Ochako
"Listening to your baby's heartbeat is the best moment in the world," said Inko
Izuku, Ochako, Inko, and Mitsuki continued to chat for a while longer. Soon it was time for Izuku and Ochako to leave. They wanted to visit Ochako's parents before they headed back to UA.
(Uraraka's Apartment)
15 minutes later, Izuku and Ochako arrived at the Uraraka's apartment. Even though Ochako had a key to the apartment, she decided to knock. Mrs. Uraraka answered a few moments later.
"Hello Ochako, hello Izuku," she said happily
"Hey mom," said Ochako happily
"I hope it's okay that we dropped by," said Izuku
"Of course it is. Please come on in," said Mrs. Uraraka
Ochako and Izuku took off their shoes and followed her into the apartment. They went into the small living room. Mr. Uraraka was sitting at the table drinking his coffee. When he saw Ochako, he stood up and embraced her.
"It's so good to see you sweetheart. I missed you," said Mr. Uraraka
"I missed you too daddy," said Ochako
"Hello Izuku. It's nice to see you too," said Mr. Uraraka
"Likewise," said Izuku
Once Mrs. Uraraka got drinks and snacks, they all gathered at the table.
"So what's new?" asked Mr. Uraraka
"I had my first ultrasound appointment," said Ochako
"You did?"
"Oh sweetie, I'm so sorry. I forgot," said Mrs. Uraraka
"It's okay. I know you guys are busy sometimes," said Ochako
"Here, this is for you guys," said Izuku handing them the ultrasound photo
They took the photo and looked at it. Mr. Uraraka grinned happily as Mrs. Uraraka put a hand to her chest and awed.
"It's so beautiful," said Mrs. Uraraka
"Thanks mom," said Ochako
"Your baby will definitely have good looks," said Mr. Uraraka
"Are you guys going to find out the gender?" asked Mrs. Uraraka
"Actually we decided to be surprised," said Ochako
"Awe, that's great," said Mr. Uraraka
"You know your father and I didn't know what you were till the day you were born," said Mrs. Uraraka
"Really? I didn't know that," said Ochako
"Being surprised in the delivery room was the best moment of our lives," said Mr. Uraraka
"I look forward to our moment," said Izuku taking Ochako's hand
"How did your appointment go sweetie?" Mrs. Uraraka asked Ochako
"It went well. The doctor said I'm 9 weeks along and my due date is July 10th. It was amazing seeing the baby on the screen," she replied
"We also got to hear the baby's heartbeat. It was incredible," said Izuku
"That's wonderful," said Mr. Uraraka
"I hope I get to attend your next ultrasound. When will that be?" asked Mrs. Uraraka
"It won't be till I'm 20 weeks along," said Ochako
"That's quite a ways away," said Mr. Uraraka
"I know, but they said they can't perform so many ultrasounds because it's not good for the baby," said Ochako
"Well I'm looking forward to the next ultrasound," said Izuku
They continued to chat for another hour or so until it was time for Izuku and Ochako to leave.
"Awe, do you have to go already?" asked Mrs. Uraraka
"I'm afraid so," said Izuku
"We'd love to stay longer, but we have to get back to our dorms before curfew," said Ochako
"And we don't want to raise any suspicion," said Izuku
"We understand," said Mr. Uraraka
"Please come back and visit again soon," said Mrs. Uraraka
"Don't worry mom, we will," said Ochako
"We love you sweetie," said Mr. Uraraka
"I love you too daddy," said Ochako
"Izuku, you keep taking care of my little girl and grandchild," said Mr. Uraraka
"I will sir," he replied
Once their goodbyes were made, Izuku and Ochako held hands and made their way to the station.
(Train Station)
Izuku and Ochako made it onto the train just in time. There were quite a few people, but they managed to find a place to sit. Izuku pulled out the ultrasound photo to look at while Ochako opened her phone and went to the group chat:
Ochako: Hey guys, Izuku and I are finally heading back to UA.
Momo: How did your appointment go?
Kyoka: Yes please tell us!
Ochako: It went well. The doctor said I'm 9 weeks along and my due date is July 10th.
Tenya: Hey that's great Ochako!
Mina: You got a picture of the baby right? Let's see that baby!
Kirishima: Yes, please show us!
Ochako: [Image delivered]
Momo: Awe, so cute!
Shoto: Precious.
Denki: A real cutie.
Kyoka: Oh what a sweetheart!
Mina: My heart is melting!
Ochako: Thank you guys.
Tenya: How did Izuku react?
Ochako: He loves our baby so much; he's actually sitting next to me staring at the ultrasound picture now.
Momo: Awe, that's sweet.
Sero: He's going to be a good dad.
Tenya: You all will be good parents.
Mina: Thanks Iida.
Momo: Yeah, thank you.
Kyoka: Are you going to find out the gender?
Ochako: No. Izuku and I want to be surprised.
Kyoka: You have more patience than I do. I don't think I can wait that long. I want to know.
Mina: Me too.
Momo: Speaking of genders, Shoto's sister Fuyumi is planning to throw me a gender reveal party.
Ochako: She is? That's very nice of her.
Momo: And I'll make sure you're all invited.
Tenya: Including me?
Momo: Of course. It wouldn't be right to leave you and Sero out.
Kirishima: Thank you. Please let us know when it is.
Momo: Shoto and I will keep you all updated on that.
Ochako: What's for dinner tonight?
Denki: We're planning to make Lemon Chicken Curry with vegetables
Ochako: That actually sounds really good right now
Sero: What time are you guys going to be back?
Ochako: Oh we should be there in about 10 minutes. We're almost at our stop
Momo: Okay. You two be careful.
Tenya: We'll make sure no one suspects anything.
Ochako: Thank you. We'll see you soon.
End of Chapter 14. I love how this chapter turned out and I can't wait to get the next two chapters out. I'm planning to work on both of them before releasing them, but it depends on my situation. I'll do my best to get the next chapter or chapters posted soon. I just have a lot going on right now and I'm in a bit of a tight jam right now. Well I hope you look forward to the next chapter.
