Hope you guys enjoyed this chapter.
As Mina's pregnancy progressed, the visible signs of her growing baby bump became more pronounced, a tangible symbol of the new life growing within her. The once-flat stomach began to round and swell, a testament to the incredible journey of bringing a new hero into the world. Mina and Izuku marveled at the changes, feeling a mix of excitement and awe as their baby continued to develop.
Around the middle of her pregnancy, Mina decided to officially take a break from her hero duties to prioritize her health and the well-being of their little one. It was a decision she made with the full support of Izuku and their friends at U.A. High. The physically demanding nature of hero work, coupled with the risks involved, led Mina to prioritize a more relaxed and stress-free environment for the remainder of her pregnancy.
Mina, ever the energetic and vibrant personality, found ways to stay involved in hero affairs from behind the scenes. She offered strategic advice, shared her experiences, and became a source of inspiration for her fellow heroes. Izuku, understanding the importance of Mina's well-being, took on additional responsibilities to ensure she had the rest and care she needed. But a lot differently than he expected...
One evening, as they settled into a cozy routine at home, Izuku found himself giving Mina a foot massage. At first, he approached the task with a bit of hesitation, not entirely sure about his massaging skills. However, Mina, with a mischievous twinkle in her eye, reassured him with a playful smile.
"Come on, Deku," she teased, wiggling her toes. "You're doing great! I mean, you're not Recovery Girl, but it's the thought that counts. And remember, I'm carrying your baby girl, so you better make it good!"
Izuku chuckled, feeling a mixture of amusement and love for the woman carrying their child. "Alright, alright. I'll do my best. But seriously, Mina, are you sure you're okay with this? I don't want to accidentally hurt you."
Mina leaned back, propping herself up on a couple of pillows, and sighed with contentment. "Izuku, you're not going to hurt me. If anything, this feels amazing. Pregnancy does weird things to your body, and this," she gestured to her swollen feet, "is one of them. Plus, it's a good excuse to make you pamper me a bit, right?"
Izuku shook his head, smiling. "You're unbelievable, you know that?"
"That's why you love me," Mina responded with a playful wink.
"At least she's calm and not chewing me out." He thought silently.
As Izuku continued the foot massage, Mina closed her eyes, enjoying the sensation and the rare moment of relaxation.
Amid the quiet comfort of their home, Izuku continued to massage Mina's feet, his hands working gently to alleviate the strains of the day. Mina, feeling the warmth of his touch, broke the tranquil silence.
"You know, Deku," she began with a smile, "have you thought of any names for our little girl I've been brainstorming, and I want to hear your ideas too."
Izuku paused, his brow furrowing as he considered the question. "I've been trying, but nothing has clicked yet. I want it to be special, you know?"
Mina let out a soft sigh, understanding the weight of choosing a name. "Yeah, I get it. It's not an easy decision. We want it to be perfect for her."
Just as a hint of disappointment crept into the room, Mina's eyes widened with realization. "Wait a minute! What about Miyu?"
Izuku's gaze shifted from contemplation to intrigue. "Miyu? That sounds... cute."
Mina grinned, feeling a surge of excitement. "Right? It sounds a lot like my name, who knows, she might even inherit my eyes." She said, pointing to them. He blushed, he considered her color to be the most beautiful thing in the world, there was no denying that.
Izuku's eyes lit up with approval. "Miyu... I love it. It's unique, and it has a nice ring to it."
Unable to contain her joy, Mina wiggled her toes, and Izuku released her feet. Leaning down, he placed a sweet kiss on Mina's forehead. "Miyu it is. Thanks for picking out the name." He said, kissing her cheek.
Mina giggled, a rosy blush tinting her cheeks. "Well, I do have a knack for coming up with cute things. Miyu is going to love her name!"
Izuku smiled, reveling in the joy of the moment. "This calls for a celebration. How about we reserve a fancy restaurant, just the two of us? It's my day off, and you deserve a special evening."
Mina's eyes sparkled with delight. "That sounds nice, Deku. A celebration for Miyu and us."
As Mina and Izuku strolled through the bustling streets of Downtown Mustafu, the city lights illuminated the night with a vibrant glow. The air was filled with a blend of distant traffic sounds, laughter from nearby cafes, and the occasional hum of hero patrols soaring overhead.
As they drove, Mina spotted a charming restaurant with a sign that read "Stellare Eleganza." The name intrigued them, and with a shared glance, they realized this was the restaurant they had reserved for their celebration. The place seemed to be a hidden gem, nestled in a quieter part of the city.
The couple parked their car and entered Stellare Eleganza, its warm lights casting a welcoming glow on the cobblestone pathway leading to the entrance. The ambiance inside was sophisticated yet inviting, with soft jazz music playing in the background.
A waitress, her eyes catching the couple's entrance, approached them with a warm smile. She recognized them from the reservation and greeted them with a knowing look.
"Good evening! Welcome to Stellare Eleganza. I trust you found the perfect spot for your night," the waitress greeted them.
Mina grinned, feeling a sense of charm from the place. "Thank you! We're excited to be here. We made a reservation for two, under the name Midoyria."
The waitress nodded, her eyes lighting up with recognition. "Ah, yes! We've been expecting you. Right this way."
She led them to a specially prepared table adorned with a flickering candle, offering a picturesque view of the city lights. Mina and Izuku settled into their seats, appreciating the thoughtfulness of the restaurant's staff.
As Mina and Izuku settled into their seats, the waitress couldn't help but notice Mina's subtle blush. With a twinkle in her eye, she leaned in slightly and said, "Before we proceed with the menu, allow me to offer my congratulations on the upcoming addition to your family. It's always a joy to celebrate such wonderful news." She said smiling.
Mina's eyes widened for a moment, surprised and delighted by the waitress's keen observation. She exchanged a glance with Izuku, who smiled warmly at her. "Oh, thank you so much! We're excited about it," Mina replied, her cheeks still tinted with a rosy hue.
The waitress beamed, her enthusiasm contagious. "That's wonderful to hear! Now, let me leave you with the menus, and feel free to take your time deciding. If you have any special preferences or dietary restrictions, our chef will be more than happy to accommodate them."
As the waitress left them with the elegantly designed menus, Mina and Izuku couldn't help but share a laugh at the unexpected but heartwarming exchange. The ambiance of Stellare Eleganza, combined with the news of their impending parenthood, made the evening even more magical.
The couple delved into the menu, discussing their preferences and sharing excited glances as they anticipated the delightful meal ahead. The soft jazz music and the enchanting atmosphere of the restaurant created a perfect backdrop for this special celebration.
Mina's eyes sparkled as she scanned the menu. "Izuku, check this out! They have a fancy Filet Mignon it's supposed to be out of this world. They use some rare space-aged spices or something. What do you think?"
Izuku chuckled at Mina's excitement. "That sounds intriguing! And it's our celebration, so why not go for something special? Plus, I heard the chef here is renowned for turning meals into culinary masterpieces."
After their decision was made, the waitress returned to take their orders. After ordering what they wanted, the waitress nodded and jotted down their choices.
"Excellent selections! Our chef will ensure your meal is a wonderful experience. Anything to drink?"
"Just water for me." Mina shrugged, don't want to do any damage to our baby.
"Me too." Izuku nodded.
"An excellent choice," the waitress noted before excusing herself to relay their order to the kitchen.
As they awaited their meal, Mina and Izuku took in the elegant surroundings, savoring the anticipation of the culinary journey ahead. The waitress first arrived with their glasses of water.
Izuku raised his glass of water, offering a toast, "To new beginnings and unforgettable moments."
Mina clinked her glass with his, a radiant smile on her face. "To us, and to our little one on the way."
The soft jazz music continued to play, weaving a melodic tapestry that enveloped them in an atmosphere of romance and celebration.
As they waited for their meal, Mina couldn't help but feel a rush of nostalgia. She looked at Izuku with a playful grin and a twinkle in her eye. "Hey, remember when you first asked me out? You gave me that pink flower, and your hands were trembling like crazy."
Izuku blushed, the memory taking him back to the early days of their relationship back when they were in UA, when he first saw her, his heart hitched a million ways, he knew he had to ask her out no matter how dorky he looked. "Yeah, how could I forget? I was so nervous. I thought my heart was going to leap out of my chest."
Mina chuckled, her cheeks tinted with a rosy blush. "It was adorable, though. You were all shy and sweet. And now, here we are, celebrating you knocking me up with your child." She winked. Izuku chuckled softly while Mina gave him a playful glare.
As the waitress presented their elegantly plated dishes, Mina and Izuku couldn't help but appreciate the visual feast before them, "Deku, you have to try this! It's like a party in my mouth."
Izuku chuckled, sharing in Mina's enthusiasm. "Alright, let me taste yours too." He swapped their plates for a moment, savoring the unique blend of flavors on Mina's dish.
Mina, in turn, took a bite of Izuku's meal, her eyes widening with approval. "Oh wow, this is amazing! You've got to taste it, Deku!"
And so, the exchange continued throughout their meal, each bite becoming a shared experience. Izuku occasionally fed Mina a forkful of his dish, a tender and affectionate gesture that spoke volumes about their connection. Mina reciprocated, ensuring that every bite was a shared pleasure.
As they enjoyed the delectable courses, the conversation flowed between them—sometimes about the meal, sometimes about their journey together, and sometimes about their upcoming role as parents. The soft jazz music played in the background, creating a harmonious soundtrack to their evening.
At one point, Mina couldn't resist teasing Izuku. "You know, Deku, I think Miyu is enjoying the meal too. I can feel her kicking a little."
Izuku's eyes widened with a mix of surprise and joy. "Really? That's incredible! I guess she has good taste like her mom."
Mina chuckled, placing a hand on her baby bump. "She's going to be a foodie, just like us."
As the dessert arrived, a sweet conclusion to their culinary adventure, Mina and Izuku shared a decadent treat that seemed to mirror the sweetness of their celebration. They indulged in bites of rich chocolate and velvety cream, savoring the last moments of their intimate dinner.
The night at the restaurant became a core memory, they shared selfies, with Mina kissing him many times when the photo was snapped, Mina and Izuku left the restaurant hand in hand, ready to continue the adventure that awaited them as they went near their parked car they had caught the attention of fans who recognized them as they strolled hand in hand. Whispers of excitement spread, and soon enough, a small crowd had gathered, eager to catch a glimpse of the dynamic hero duo.
Mina, always the extrovert, noticed the gathering fans with a grin. She turned to Izuku, mischief sparkling in her eyes. "Looks like we've got some fans, Deku! Ready for a little impromptu meet-and-greet?"
Although he was a bit tired from the food he ate, he shrugged his shoulders. "Sure, why not? Let's say hi to everyone."
The fans, delighted by the unexpected encounter, approached with cameras and phones at the ready. Mina and Izuku greeted them warmly, posing for photos and sharing brief conversations while signing autographs.
After bidding farewell to the enthusiastic crowd as they got inside their car, Mina whispered to Izuku,"Well, that was unexpected but fun! Our little Miyu is already getting a taste of the hero life, don't you think?"
Izuku chuckled, "Yeah, it seems like she's already stealing the spotlight. But I wouldn't have it any other way." Izuku stated they all marveled at the sight of her pregnant belly.
