Hey guys, here's the next chapter and I'm sure you were waiting for this one. Mina and Kirishima not only get to see their baby, but the drama with Monoma isn't over yet. What's going to happen? Read on and find out.
(Class 1-A Dormitories)
Early the next morning, Denki woke up around 5:30am. As much as he wanted to stay with Kyoka he had to get back to his room, and also get ready to meet up with Mr. Aizawa. Kyoka stirred a bit as Denki climbed out of her bed. He covered her up and gave her a kiss on the forehead. Denki quietly snuck out of the room and rushed down the hall. It took a few minutes to get to his room from the elevator. Once he got there, he went inside and quietly closed the door behind him. He started to change into his school uniform. Once he was ready, he looked in the mirror to make sure his tie was tied properly. Suddenly he got a text notification. He went to his desk and grabbed his phone. To his surprise, it was Mina.
Mina: Are you still going to meet up with Mr. Aizawa.
Denki: Yes. I plan to meet him around 6:45.
Mina: Good, the girls and I want to go with you.
Denki: Not to sound rude, but why?
Mina: The girls and I talked last night and we need to discuss something with him.
Denki: It's fine with me if you want to tag along.
Mina: Thank you! I'll be ready by 6:30, same with the girls.
Denki: Wait, who's coming along with you?
Mina: Momo, Ochako, Tsuyu, and Toru.
Denki: Okay then. I'm going to be heading downstairs to eat breakfast in a few minutes.
Mina: We'll meet you in the lounge and all head over to meet Mr. Aizawa
Denki: Okay, see you later.
Denki put his phone in his pocket and grabbed his backpack. He quietly closed his bedroom door on the way out so he wouldn't disturb anyone else. Once he reached the main floor, he headed straight to the kitchen to get breakfast. He felt there wasn't any time to cook anything so he grabbed a banana, juice, and a slice of bread. He added some butter to it and began eating. It only took a few minutes for him to finish everything. He then headed to the lounge and waited for the girls. When it was close to 6:30, the girls made their way to the lounge. Denki stood up and approached him.
"Good morning," he said
"Good morning," said Momo
"Where's Jiro?" asked Tsuyu
"She's probably still asleep. I didn't have the heart to wake her," said Denki
"Well she deserves to sleep in after what she went through," said Ochako
"Let's get going," said Mina
Denki and the others left the dormitories and made their way to the main school building. Once they entered, they headed to the teacher's lounge. Denki knocked a few times and was told to enter. Sure enough, Mr. Aizawa was there along with Mr. Kan and Principal Nezu.
"Good morning Denki and good morning girls," said Aizawa a little surprised
"It's nice to see you students all bright eyed and bushy tailed," said Nezu
"We didn't expect to see you girls," said Kan
"They wanted to come along," said Denki
"We wanted to discuss something," said Mina
"Is that so?" asked Aizawa
"Yes sir," said Tsuyu
"Does this have anything to do with what happened last night?" asked Kan
The girls nodded and Mr. Aizawa sighed as he folded his hands together.
"Well we all were trying to discuss a proper punishment for Monoma," said Aizawa
"Sir, the girls and I have a plan and we wish to share it with you," said Mina
"What is it?"
Mina and the other girls explained their plan. Principal Nezu nodded a few times while Mr. Aizawa and Mr. Kan kept eye contact. A few minutes later, Aizawa closed his eyes and sighed.
"I see," he said
"Very interesting, but what do you girls hope to accomplish from this?" asked Nezu
"That Monoma will never mess with Class 1-A ever again," said Tsuyu
"And that he'll remember what will happen when he messes with us girls," added Mina
"I don't know. This plan may be a bit cruel," said Kan
"What do you think sir?" asked Aizawa
"You know what? I'll allow it! This will reduce Monoma's punishment though," said Nezu
"So we have your permission sir?" asked Mina
"Yes you do."
"Thank you!"
"Just remember to not let it turn to violence."
"Don't worry, we won't."
"Sir what about me?" asked Denki "Am I in some sort of trouble?"
"Aizawa already told me what happened. As much as I don't like hearing about students fighting on campus, I don't have any punishments set for your actions since you were trying to protect Miss Jiro. I'm going to let it go," said Nezu
"Really?"
"Yes, but no more fights on campus. Understood?"
"Yes sir."
"Now what should we do about Monoma?" asked Kan
"After I heard the girl's plan, I think I'll just leave his punishment up to you," said Nezu
"Understood sir and I think I have a proper punishment set for him," said Kan
"Okay Denki, you and the girls are dismissed," said Aizawa
"Thank you sir," he said
"I'll see you all in class later."
Denki and the girls left the teachers lounge as Mr. Aizawa sat back in his chair.
"Sir, are you really going to let this happen?" he asked Nezu
"Well we could step in, but sometimes it's best for a student to handle the situation on their own," he replied
"We'll leave it to them then."
(Cafeteria)
By lunch time, students were getting in line to get their food. Denki had stayed close to Kyoka just in case they ran into Monoma. Once they got their trays, they sat at their usual spotand began to eat. The rest of their class soon joined them. Mina slightly tapped Tsuyu.
"You remember the plan right?" she whispered
"Yes I do. I hope this goes well. Ribbit," Tsuyu whispered back
The other girls nodded as they ate. Once they were done, Mina looked around and spotted Monoma eating with his class. She then handed Momo a piece of paper while Tsuyu, Toru, and Ochako left the cafeteria.
"The plan is in motion," said Mina
"Let's just hope this works," said Momo
"Alright, get ready."
Mina and Momo began to approach the table Monoma was sitting at, but they went in different directions. When they reached the row he was seated at, they began to approach each other. Just right behind Monoma, Mina pretended to bump into Momo. Momo dropped the piece of paper near Monoma. It did catch his attention.
"Oh excuse me Momo," said Mina
"It's okay, no harm done," said Momo
"Do we still have time for our secret meeting?"
"Yes, we should be able to do it before our next class."
"Oh I can't wait till we…."
"Shh! Not here. Let's get going."
Mina and Momo left the cafeteria as Monoma watched them leave. He then picked up the piece of paper that was on the floor. It read "Secret Meeting Place in Big Storage Room." Monoma grinned as he turned towards Kendo. She took a bite of her lunch before noticing his stupid smirk.
"What?" asked Kendo
"I knew it! I told you Class 1-A was up to something and they just gave themselves away," said Monoma
"Oh just leave them alone."
"Didn't you just hear them a minute ago?"
"Sorry, I was lost in my thoughts to even pay attention."
"I need to find out what they're up to."
"Just let it go Monoma. Sit back down before you create a scene."
Monoma ignored Kendo and left the cafeteria. In the hallway, he saw Mina and Momo standing by the entrance to the storage room. The door opened and they went inside.
"What are you up to?" Monoma thought to himself
He slowly made his way to the storage room. He wasn't sure what to do at first, but then he pressed his ear against the door trying to hear what they were saying. He only heard muffled voices which disappointed him. Suddenly the storage room door shot open and he fell inside. The storage room door immediately closed behind him. Monoma stood up quickly and saw the girls standing there facing him. He then noticed a chair.
"What's going on?" asked Monoma
"Look girls, we just caught a rat," said Mina
"You all are acting weirder than usual. Just tell me what Class 1-A is up to."
"For the last time, we're not up to anything!"
"Since he stumbled onto our secret meeting, I say we should include him," said Toru
"What do you mean?" asked Monoma
Ochako suddenly made Monoma float and Tsuyu grabbed him with her tongue. She then forced him into the chair. Ochako released him as Tsuyu wrapped him with her tongue. Monoma was stuck tied to the chair and he was getting an uncomfortable feeling.
"Come on girls, this isn't funny! Now turn me loose," he said
"It wasn't funny when you hurt Jiro either," said Ochako
"Here's something you need to remember Monoma, when you mess with one of us you mess with all of us," said Mina
"What should we do with him?" asked Toru
"I know," said Momo
She walked to the corner of the storage room and grabbed a bag. Momo, Toru, Ochako, and Mina reached in and pulled out different kinds of make up while Tsuyu kept a better restraint on Monoma. He didn't like where this was going.
"Okay, okay I'm sorry! I won't bother you or your class anymore," said Monoma
"I bet you won't," said Momo
"This is what happens when you mess with the bull. You get the horns," said Ochako
"Come on girls, let's fix his face," said Mina
"NO! NO! AAAAAHHHHH!" yelled Monoma
About 10 minutes later, Monoma's face was covered in make up and his nails were painted. He felt humiliated. What was worse for him is listening to them ramble on about the make up. Just when Monoma thought things couldn't get any worse, Toru pulled out a camera and took some pictures of him. At that point he felt defeated.
"Well, I say your look is quite an improvement," said Momo
"You had your fun now let me go," said Monoma
"Not just yet," said Mina
"What now?"
"I want to make something clear with you. If you ever hurt another girl from our class again or any other girl in this school and we find out about it, we'll come after you."
"Now promise that you'll never bother Class 1-A ever again," said Ochako
"I promise," said Monoma
"You heard him girls and if he breaks his promise these photos will hit the internet," said Mina holding up the camera
Monoma's eyes widened. He just couldn't believe that he fell for a trap. In a strange way, he felt he kind of deserved it. Tsuyu finally released Monoma and he stood up.
"Now get out of here and live in fear!" said Mina
Monoma immediately rushed out of the storage room and back to the cafeteria while trying to keep his face covered. A lot of students have already finished eating, but some of them were still eating. He made his way back to the table his class was sitting at and plopped down at it.
"Whoa, what's with you and where have you been?" asked Kendo
Monoma didn't move for a minute or two. He then slowly sat up facing Kendo and his class. Class 1-B and the other students in the cafeteria just stared at him in silence. A student managed to drop a tray and it made a loud crash on the floor. After a few more moments of silence, students started to snicker and then a roar of laughter filled the cafeteria. Monoma sighed at the humiliation.
"Nice nails Monoma," chuckled Kendo
"Oh shut up," he replied
Mr. Kan entered the cafeteria and approached Monoma. He saw the make up all over his face and his eyes widened.
"What did you do now?" he asked
"Sir, the girls…." Monoma began to say
"You know what; I don't want to hear about it. Let's go to my office now!"
"But sir…"
"NOW!"
Mr. Kan grabbed Monoma by the shirt and dragged him out of the cafeteria. The laughter soon died down and everyone went back to what they were doing.
(Class 1-A Dormitories)
For the rest of the school day, everyone gossiped about Monoma being covered in make up and even started calling him a Barbie Accessory. Mina and the other girls felt satisfied about their plan working better than they thought. She couldn't wait to share the pictures with Kyoka, hoping it would cheer her up. Mina and the rest of the class made their way back to the dormitories. The first thing the girls did was change into their regular clothes and then they met up with Kyoka in the lounge.
"How are you doing Kyoka?" asked Ochako
"I'm doing better. I'm just glad I didn't bump into Monoma today," she replied
"Oh I wouldn't worry about him for a long time," said Mina
"What do you mean?" asked Kyoka
"We gave him a make over," said Momo
"What?" questioned Kyoka
"See for yourself," said Toru
She pulled out the camera and showed her the pictures of Monoma. Kyoka just stared at first and then began to snicker.
"So that's what the fuss was all about earlier today. It finally makes sense," said Kyoka
"Well he got what he deserved," said Ochako
"You guys aren't going to get in trouble for this are you?" asked Kyoka
"No. Principal Nezu gave us permission to do this," said Mina
"Are you serious?!" said Kyoka surprised
"Yep and if Monoma ever messes with any of us or Class 1-A again then his pictures will hit the internet," said Momo
"Wow. I almost feel sorry for him," said Kyoka
"Well don't. He had it coming," said Tsuyu
"I hope we get a copy of those pictures," said Ochako
"I'll get to work on it. See you all in a bit," said Toru getting up and leaving the lounge
She made her way to the elevator and got in while the girls continued to chat.
"What do you think happened to Monoma?" asked Kyoka
"I heard that Mr. Kan put him on house arrest for a week. We won't be seeing him for a while. Ribbit," said Tsuyu
"His punishment would have been worse, but it was reduced after what we did to him today," said Momo
"I hope you're feeling better Kyoka," said Mina
"Yes, a lot better especially after seeing those pictures," she replied
"I'm glad," said Momo
"How's your arm and earphone jacks?" asked Ochako
"Don't worry I'm fine. Thanks to Recovery Girl, I don't feel any soreness," said Kyoka
"Jiro, we're going to make sure that this never happens again," said Tsuyu
"From now on we got each other's backs," said Mina
The girls got up and did a group hug. Kyoka smiled. Even though her night got ruined, her friends made her day better. Today turned out to be the best day of school.
(Mina's Room)
Later on that day after dinner, everyone went about their business. Mina went up to her room to get some studying done. Once she finished, she put her books away and changed into her pajamas. A few minutes later there was a knock at her door. Mina went to answer and it was Kirishima. She invited him in and peeked out into the hallway. No one was around and she quietly closed the door. Mina and Kirishima went to her bed. They sat down and wrapped their arms around each other. They locked lips and French kissed for a few minutes. Mina giggled softly as they lied down on her bed. They eventually broke free to catch their breaths. Kirishima caressed the side of Mina's face. She closed her eyes for a few moments and quietly sighed, enjoying the sensation of his touch.
"I love you so much," said Kirishima
"I love you too," said Mina
"I enjoy these moments with you. It feels like it has been ages since we last did this."
"It kind of does, doesn't it? I know you've been keeping busy and trying to make time for Bakugo."
"I hope you're not jealous of him."
"Pfft, no. I think it's important that you two hang out. The last thing we want is for him to get suspicious."
"You know he's going to be pissed off when he finds out our secret."
"Probably, but I wouldn't worry about it too much. Bakugo might be an angry person, but he doesn't seem like the type to hold a grudge."
"Yeah hopefully. I had to make up an excuse to him the other day."
"What did you tell him?"
"That I had a dental appointment on Friday after school."
"Did he buy it?"
"It seems like he did, but he seems to be getting frustrated more every time I have to cancel my plans of training with him."
"You're doing the best you can. That's all you can do."
"I can't wait till we can finally tell our friends our secret."
"Same here because keeping this secret is getting tiring."
"Well let's try not to stress over it. I'm looking forward to tomorrow."
"I am too."
Kirishima gazed down at Mina's stomach. He put his hand under her pajama top and slowly lifted it up until her flat belly was exposed. Kirishima then placed his hand on her belly and began to rub it.
"Hello baby, its daddy. I can't wait to see you tomorrow. I'm very excited," he said softly
Kirishima traced a heart on Mina's belly with his finger. He then leaned down, and kissed her belly. Mina let out a giggle.
"What?" asked Kirishima
"I'm a bit ticklish," said Mina
"Oh you are?"
"Kirishima no!"
Kirishima began to tickle Mina, making her laugh. He made sure he was being gentle too. Mina did her best to keep her laughter and giggles quiet, but eventually she couldn't. She tried to escape Kirishima's tickling, but it was no use. Mina then grabbed both of his hands. Kirishima seemed a bit surprised, but Mina leaned in and gave him a kiss.
"Babe, I enjoy doing this with you but we can't make so much noise. We have to be quiet," she said
"I'm sorry. I wasn't thinking about that," said Kirishima
"It's okay. We're fine."
"Well, I should let you get some rest. We have a big day ahead of us tomorrow."
"Grauntie is planning to pick us up after school and take us to our appointment."
"Hey that's great."
"Is it okay with you if she comes along to this appointment?"
"Sure! She deserves to be there."
Mina cupped Kirishima's face and gave him a long passionate kiss. Afterwards they gazed into each other's eyes for a minute or two. Kirishima then got off the bed slowly as Mina was getting comfortable for the night.
"Goodnight," said Mina
"Goodnight. I'll text you in the morning," said Kirishima
"I look forward to it."
Kirishima then walked out of Mina's room and slowly closed the door. Mina lied down and started to find her comfortable spot when she suddenly got a text notification. This surprised her, but she grabbed her phone and checked. It was from Kendo. Mina immediately opened the text message.
Kendo: Hey Mina, I hope I didn't wake you?
Mina: No. I'm still awake. I was just getting ready for bed.
Kendo: Okay, well I won't keep you long. I just wanted to tell you that I thought it was cool what you did to Monoma earlier.
Mina: Well he had it coming.
Kendo: I say his look is an improvement.
Mina: I don't think he'll be messing with us anymore.
Kendo: You bet he won't, but if he tries to pull a stunt like that again, I hope you'll invite me to his next makeover.
Mina: Kendo, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to leave you out. I feel bad now.
Kendo: Hey don't worry about it. Did you get any pictures?
Mina: You bet. Would you like a copy?
Kendo: Please!
Mina: [images delivered]
Kendo: Ha ha ha! These are great. Thank you so much!
Mina: Anytime.
Kendo: You and your class won't have to worry about Monoma for a while. He's on house arrest for a week, he has to clean an hour before school and after, he has to prepare Mr. Kan's meals, and he has to give Kyoka a written apology.
Mina: Wow, that's quite a punishment.
Kendo: Well it would have been worse if you and the other girls haven't taught him a lesson.
Mina: I'm just glad the principal allowed it.
Kendo: Well I'm off to bed. If you need anything, just send me a text.
Mina: Thank you. Goodnight.
Kendo: Goodnight.
Mina sat her phone down and checked to make sure her alarm was set before settling for the night. She closed her eyes and smiled happily. Today was a good day, but tomorrow was going to be even better.
(UA Campus)
The next day after school, Kirishima and Mina went back to the dorms to change into their regular clothes and then head off to the appointment. Kirishima and Mina made sure they were careful when they left campus. They didn't leave together, but at different times. Mina met up with Kirishima outside of UA campus. They held hands and walked to the café where Mina's great aunt would pick them up. While they waited, Kirishima bought them smoothies. He even bought one for Mina's great aunt. About five minutes later, Mina's great aunt drove up, parked the car, and walked to where Kirishima and Mina were. They were just about finished with their smoothies when she gave each of them a hug.
"Good to see you two dears," said Mina's great aunt taking a seat
"This is for you," said Kirishima handing her a smoothie
"Oh, thank you sweetie."
"No problem."
"Grauntie, do you know where the private hospital is?" asked Mina
"Yes I do and don't worry we'll get to your appointment on time," she replied
It took a few more minutes for them to finish their smoothies, but once they were done they got into the car and Mina's great aunt drove off to their destination.
(Private Hospital)
They arrived at the private hospital about 12 minutes later. Mina's great aunt dropped them off at the front entrance while she went to find a parking spot. She told them she would meet up with them soon. Kirishima and Mina went inside. They held hands as they made their way to the Obstetrics and Gynecology office. Once they went inside, they were surprised to see nobody in the waiting room. This was a relief. Mina went to the front desk to check in while Kirishima found a place to sit. When she was set, she sat down next to Kirishima. He was on his phone and it looked like he was texting someone.
Bakugo: So just how long do you think you'll be at the dentist?
Kirishima: I'm not really sure. They seem to be pretty busy and there's quite a few people in the waiting room.
Bakugo: This fucking sucks! I'd hope we get some training done today.
Kirishima: Well, how about we train tonight after dinner?
Bakugo: Won't we get in trouble?
Kirishima: As long as we use the training facility on campus we should be fine. UA leaves some places open for students, like the library.
Bakugo: Okay, sounds like a plan.
Kirishima: Great. I'll see you then. Later bro.
Bakugo: Whatever.
Kirishima put his phone away as Mina's great aunt came in and sat down next to Mina.
"Who was that?" asked Mina
"It was just Bakugo. We're planning to do some night training after dinner," said Kirishima
"Hey that's great. I'm glad you two were able to find time for your training."
"We just need to get back to UA before dinner."
"That won't be a problem."
Kirishima smiled. He felt lucky to have such a wonderful girlfriend like Mina. It didn't take long for Mina to be called by the nurse. She stood up along with Kirishima and her great aunt.
"Hi Miss Ashido, how are you?" asked the nurse
"I'm fine," Mina replied
"That's good. Please follow me."
The nurse led Mina and the others to an open area that had weight scales, blood pressure machines, and other things. Mina's weight was checked, her temperature, and then her blood pressure.
"Everything looks good," said the nurse
"That's good news," said Mina's great aunt
"Very good," said Kirishima
"Okay lets get you into ultrasound," said the nurse
She led them into a dimly lit room. It wasn't super big, but it was enough for all of them to fit. Mina and Kirishima looked around. There was an exam table, an ultrasound machine, a screen on the wall, a small counter in the corner, and other things.
"Miss Ashido, please have a seat on the exam table and there are chairs for you two to sit in," said the nurse
"Thank you," said Kirishima
"The doctor will be in shortly," said the nurse
She left the room as Mina sat on the exam table and Mina's great aunt sat down in one of the chairs. Kirishima was too excited to sit down. He stood next to Mina.
"Can you believe it? We're finally going to get to see our baby," said Kirishima
"I'm excited about that," said Mina
"Hey you two, look up," said Mina's great aunt
Mina and Kirishima looked up and gasped in amazement. On the ceiling were dozens of ultrasound pictures. It showed many different babies all sizes.
"That's incredible!" said Kirishima
"Awe, so cute!" said Mina
"Hey look at one. There are twins," said Mina's great aunt
Kirishima and Mina both awed. Seeing a twin ultrasound was incredible. A thought suddenly crossed Mina's mind. What if she was pregnant with twins? The idea was starting to scare her. She shook it off just as the doctor walked in.
"Hello. I'm Dr. Jun and I'll be doing your ultrasound today," said the doctor
"Nice to meet you," said Mina
"Are you the father?" Dr. Jun asked Kirishima
"Yes ma'am," he replied
"And you are?" Dr. Jun asked Mina's great aunt
"I'm Mina's great aunt. It's a pleasure," she said
"Well it's nice to meet all of you. Shall we get started? Mina go ahead and lie down," said Dr. Jun
As she started setting the ultrasound ready, Mina lied down on the exam table. Kirishima and Mina's great aunt stood on each side of the exam table. Mina took Kirishima's hand. They both smiled at each other. Dr. Jun came back with a paper mat and a gel bottle.
"Please lift up your shirt and tug down your pants a bit," she said
Mina did as she was instructed while Dr. Jun setup the paper mat below her lower abdomen and then began squeezing the warm gel on her belly. Dr. Jun then grabbed the ultrasound wand and began moving it around on Mina's belly. Kirishima, Mina, and Mina's great aunt turned their attention to the screen. It showed the inside of Mina's womb. Dr. Jun continued to move the wand around until she found the baby.
"There you are!" she said happily
Mina and Kirishima smiled as Mina's great aunt awed. On the screen was a tiny blob. It didn't look like a baby just yet, but it would soon. Mina began to tear up.
"Is that the baby?" asked Kirishima
"Yes and by the looks of it, it's in the final embryo stages. See those little stubs? Those will develop into arms and legs," said Dr. Jun
"That's incredible," said Mina as happy tears streamed down her face
"Just how far along is she?" asked Mina's great aunt
"She's 4 weeks along, still in early pregnancy and her due date is August 4th," said Dr. Jun
"Can we listen to the heartbeat?" asked Kirishima
"I'm sorry, but the machine won't be able to pick up the baby's heartbeat yet. It's still too small," said Dr. Jun
"When will we be able to?" asked Mina
"When you're 6 weeks along," said Dr. Jun
"Other than that, is everything okay?" asked Mina's great aunt
"Yes, the baby is growing nice and healthy. Everything looks good," said Dr. Jun
Dr. Jun finished up and began printing out photos. She then reset the ultrasound machine and handed Mina paper towels to clean up. Mina's great aunt took the ultrasound pictures as Kirishima helped Mina clean up. It only took a few minutes.
"Okay, you are good to go. I'd like to see you again in four weeks," said Dr. Jun
"Will I be able to hear the baby's heartbeat then?" asked Mina
"Yes, but not through ultrasound. I'll be using a fetal doppler."
"I understand."
"Make sure you take your prenatal vitamins. If you haven't yet, I suggest starting as soon as possible."
"Don't worry, I am taking them."
"Good and make sure you maintain a proper healthy diet. No caffeine, go easy on the sweets, things like that."
"Yes ma'am."
"Well it was nice to meet all of you. Congratulations and I'll see you again in four weeks."
"Thank you."
Mina and the others left the ultrasound room and went back into the waiting room. Mina went to the front desk to schedule her appointment while Kirishima and Mina's great aunt waited for her. A few minutes later, they all left the private hospital together and back to the car.
(Miss Ashido's Apartment)
After they left the hospital and got into the car, Mina's great aunt drove back to her apartment. It only took about 15 minutes to get there. When Mina's great aunt parked the car, they all got out and went inside. They took off their shoes and gathered in the living room. Mina's great aunt gave back the ultrasound photos, but made sure to keep a copy for herself.
"That was amazing," said Kirishima
"It certainly was," said Mina
"Your baby is so adorable," said Mina's great aunt
"I just can't believe how tiny it is," said Kirishima
"It may be small now, but it will grow," said Mina's great aunt
"It's just a shame we couldn't hear the heartbeat," said Mina
"Don't worry. You guys will get to hear it soon enough," said Mina's great aunt
"Thank you so much for taking us to the appointment."
"Well thank you for letting me be included and I'll be happy to drive you to all your appointments."
"Thanks Grauntie."
Mina gave her a hug and she hugged her back. Kirishima smiled at them and then gazed back at the ultrasound photo.
"Well, this calls for a celebration. What would you guys like to do?" asked Mina's great aunt
"Hmm…..I was thinking about ordering take-out and watching a movie here," said Mina
"Hey that's a great idea."
"What do you think Kirishima?" asked Mina
"Sounds good to me," he replied
"Then it's settled. We're going to celebrate here," said Mina's great aunt
"Will we make it back to UA before dinner? I have plans with Bakugo tonight," said Kirishima
"No worries, I'll make sure you get back to UA on time," said Mina's great aunt
"Thank you so much."
"I'm going to go ahead and order take-out. You two pick out a movie."
Mina's great aunt went into the kitchen to order take out while Mina and Kirishima browsed through her movie collection. After a few minutes, they decided on one. They picked "13 Assassins." It has been a while since they have seen an action flick. Mina was kind of surprised that her great aunt owned a copy. While they were waiting for their food, Mina opened her phone and went to the group chat.
Mina: Hey guys! Kirishima and I are at my great aunt's apartment. We're having a little celebration.
Ochako: Sounds like fun!
Momo: How did your appointment go?
Mina: It went well.
Kyoka: Let us see that baby.
Sero: Hurry! I'm so excited.
Mina: [image delievered]
Ochako: Awe what a sweet thing.
Denki: It looks like a blob more than a baby.
Kyoka: Denki! Don't be rude.
Mina: Hey it's okay. I'm just in my early pregnancy.
Tenya: How far along are you?
Mina: I'm only 4 weeks along.
Izuku: Wow that is early.
Ochako: When is your due date?
Mina: August 4th. Another summer baby!
Momo: All our babies will be summer babies.
Shoto: Did you get to hear the heartbeat?
Mina: No, we didn't. The baby is too small for the ultrasound machine to pick up the heartbeat.
Ochako: I'm sorry Mina. I'm sure you were looking forward to that.
Mina: It's okay. I'll be able to hear the heartbeat at my next appointment.
Tenya: That's good to hear.
Izuku: So when do you guys plan to be back at UA?
Mina: It'll be before dinner time and Kirishima has plans with Bakugo tonight.
Denki: He does?
Mina: Yeah, they're planning to do some training.
Tenya: We'll make sure Bakugo doesn't get suspicious.
Mina: Thank you guys. I appreciate it.
Izuku: Enjoy your celebration. We'll see you guys soon.
Mina: Thanks.
Momo: See ya
Sero: Later
Mina: Bye!
Mina put her phone down on the coffee table. Once the food arrived, Mina and her great aunt set up the table while Kirishima prepared the movie. They sat down enjoying their food while they watched their movie. About 2 hours later, Mina and Kirishima helped clean up the mess while Mina's great aunt went to get her car keys. They all got their shoes on and headed back out. As Mina's great aunt drove back to UA, Mina and Kirishima gazed at the ultrasound photo. It made them smile and they couldn't wait for the day they would finally be able to hold their baby. Kirishima placed his hand on Mina's belly. She sighed happily and leaned her head on his shoulder. It has been a great day.
End of Chapter 16. I hope you're enjoying the story so far and I'll post the next one as soon as I can. Thanks so much for reading. By the way today is my anniversary. I thought it would be great to post a chapter as a way of celebrating.
