Super Science
Ch.113: Stop! Baby time!...Again?
A few days later, at N.I.P., Izuku was in the lobby speaking with Josie about his daily schedule when suddenly the doors opened, and his mother walked in with three bento boxes in her arms. Seeing her, he exclaimed in joy, "Mom!"
"Hi, sweetie, I brought you, Egon, and Eri some lunch.", she said, greeting back while holding out the boxes.
"Aw, thanks, Mom. You're the best!" Izuku told her while taking the boxes. Just before he left to deliver them, he noticed his mom acting strangely. She was slightly pale and looked like she had run a short marathon. "Mom? Are you okay?" he inquired.
"Yeah, sweetie, I'm fine. I just need to sit down for a minute," Inko told him while flopping onto one of the couches and fanning herself with her hand.
"Mom, are you sure you're okay?" Izuku asked, coming to her side and fanning her with a book.
After cooling off and catching her breath, she admits, "To be honest, I have no idea. I've been really tired, light-headed, and aching in my chest. I'm puking for no reason, and I think my period came early. Not to mention, I've been getting hot flashes and strange mood swings. I almost threw the remote at the TV when a reporter said something, and I'm not even sure what it was that set me off?"
"Wow! That sounds like something. Let me have Doctrine and Chopper look at you.", Izuku tells her while handing off the bento boxes to a moon dog and helping his mom to the medical wing.
After being brought into the medical wing, Inko underwent several tests to determine what the issue was with her. After about an hour, Chopper and Doctrine finally entered the waiting room where Inko was sitting.
They say across from her, and Chopper begins first, telling her, "Well, Ms Midoryia, your tests came back, and you seem to be in perfect health."
"Well, I certainly don't feel healthy.", Inko firmly interjects.
"That's what we're trying to figure out." Chopper sighs, clearly stressed about not finding the answers yet.
"I already did the moment you walked in.", Doctrine said out of the blue.
All eyes fell upon the woman, Inko most of all, as she exclaimed in irritation, "Then why haven't you said anything, Doctrine?"
"Just like to double-check these certain things.", the old woman vaguely replied.
"These certain things?", Inko repeated.
Doctrine then pulled a chart from her jacket and handed it to Chopper, saying, "Here."
Chopper, just as confused as Inko, opened the folded paper and gasped! Inko was put off by this and asked in concern, "What?"
Chopper looked between the woman and the paper several times before finally giving it to her and saying, "I think you should see for yourself."
Handing the paper over to her, Inko quickly skimmed it as her eyes grew bigger and bigger until she gave a sharp gasp and exclaimed, "No way. That's impossible. But I'm…but he's…I didn't think we could."
"Well, I suppose congratulations are in order.", Doctrine stated casually.
As Inko was trying to process all the information she was given, Chopper jumped to her side and asked, "Ms Midoryia. I don't want to alarm you, but how are you going to tell Izuku? He didn't exactly take it too well when he found out you were together."
Inko hadn't yet thought about that, but she knew exactly how to handle it and replied while standing up, "I guess I'll just have to give it to him straight."
The moment that Inko walked out of the medical wing and into the hallway, she bumped into her son, who had been waiting for her the whole time. Seeing his mom walk out, he smiled and ran up to her, saying, "Mom! Are you okay? Did they find the issue?"
"I'm fine, and they did find the problem.", Inko told him.
Izuku, practically vibrating already, nearly shouted at her in concern, "Well, don't leave me in suspense; what was it?"
Inko had no idea what to say or even how to say it, so she just handed the paper to him. Confused, Izuku took the sheet and read it. Looking it over a bit, his eyes grew wider and wider with each passing moment, causing Inko to become more and more concerned.
But before she could say anything, he son suddenly screamed, "What? What!? WHAT!"
With that, he dropped the paper and ran like the dickens!
"Izuku, wait? " Inko tried to call out but only received a mouthful of his dust trail.
Meanwhile, back in Egon's office, the man had finally gotten a break and was now winding down to enjoy the bento graciously provided by his girlfriend.
Seeing and smiling at the context of the box, Egon said to himself, "Boy, I sure love Inko's cooking."
Just before he could take the first bite, his office door was manually swung open, and Izuku barged in while yelling, "EGON!"
Egon quickly ducked behind his desk, knowing what that tone meant, and gripped in fear, "Oh God, what now!?"
Izuku rushed around the desk, grabbed the man's collar, and yelled, "You've been fucking my mom!?"
Hearing this, Egon calmed down and told him in a blaze tone while rolling his eyes, "Izuku, get over it. We're adults, and adults have sex. What's the big deal?
"How could you!?", Izuku yelled at him.
"How could I-what?", Egon questions him.
"How could you get my mom pregnant?!", he further explains.
Egon's face goes placid with that statement, and a moment later, he passes out. Izuku releases him, and Otto strokes in with a defibrillator in his arms.
"And he's down. I got this," Otto tells him while pushing the boy to the side. He then readies the machine and says, "Clear, " before slamming it on his chest and bringing Egon back to life.
Egon gasped in the air while sitting up as Otto packed the life-saving equipment and left. After catching his breath, Egon tells Izuku, "Oh God! Izuku, I could've sworn you just told me your mom was pregnant."
"She is!", Izuku exclaimed.
"I need a minute.", Egon replied as he pushed Izuku off him while huddling in the fetal position.
But Izuku grabbed him again, this time at his eye level, and shouted, "No, you don't! You need to explain!"
In a half daze, Egon replied, "Izuku, I'm sure you know how the birds and the bees work."
Izuku growled at his insanity and yelled, "Not that! Why did you get my mom pregnant!? Did you not use protection!?"
"Of course we didn't!", Egon yelled after finally getting himself back together. He then pulled himself away from the boy and explained while standing up, "Izuku, your mom is over 40, stressed out, overweight, and short. And I take such little care of myself I'm fairly certain my sperm count is nada. Also, she's allergic to latex, and we found that out the hard way."
Izuku rolls his eyes while taking mental note of his mother's new allergy and tells the man flatly, "Well, it looks like you beat the odds because she is!", Egon looked off to the side hearing this and bit his fist in frustration while thinking, right before Izuku followed up asking, "Now what are you gonna do?!"
Egon shook himself from his mind and asked dumbly, "What do you mean?"
Izuku narrowed his eyes and stated, "Are you seriously not going to take responsibility?"
"Of course I am I…oh my God. I need to make an honest woman out of her! I need to marry your mother! I didn't think it would happen this fast!?", Egon expresses with increasing amounts of realization one after the other. "I still have picked an engagement ring!", he stresses in shock before bolting out of his office and yelling down the hall, "Hatsume! I need you to make me an engagement ring pronto!"
Only to be replied with a very enthusiastic woohoo!
As Inko stayed and sat near the medical wing, hoping her son didn't do anything rash and waiting for his return, she stewed in her thoughts about all that had happened and would happen. She was pregnant…again and at her age! She had a child, another new child to care for. Could she do it? Would she be willing to? It was all scary once again! She wished Mitskui was there to comfort her and help her through this uncertainty.
Then she heard a voice call out to her, "Inko!"
Looking down the hallway, she saw Egon running at full speed!
"Inko!", he called out in excitement. Only to watch the man's foot get caught on a conveniently placed bar of soap and slide past her and down the hallway while yelling, "Inkooooooooooo!"
Only for the man to crash into a utility closet that a maintenance robot had just opened to retrieve more cleaning supplies! Inko gasped at seeing him crash, followed by several kinds of cleaning supplies and utilities flying out in all directions.
She got up, raced to him, and asked, "Egon? Are you okay?"
"I guess?" Egon replied unconvincingly from the underside of a mop. After pulling it alongside several dozen other cleaning supplies and shaking off a bucket on his leg, he frantically asked Inko, "Is it true, are you-?"
The only thing she did in reply was smile at him. Egon's eyes sparkled with joy as he suddenly grabbed the woman under her arms and lifted her up while spinning her and laughing!
Letting her back down, he hugged her tightly while saying, "Oh, Inko! I'm so happy! I wish my parents were here; they always wanted grandkids." The realization dawned on him, and he took a step back while saying, "Oh! I'm getting ahead of myself."
Egon then took one of the woman's hands and got down on one knee before her, Causing Inko to gasp. At the same time, Honey Lemon, who was attracted by all the commotion, looked in to see what all the excitement was about and got a full view of the scene before her!
She gasped loudly and yelled down the hallway, "Guys, guys! It's happening!"
Within seconds, the area was flooded with scientists and bodyguards, with Chopper and Doctrine peeking out from the medical wing doors. Egon was not happy about the attention, especially since all of them were pathetically trying to hide themselves or peek behind corners. But he sighed and decided to go for it before he lost his nerve.
"Inko, from the moment I met you, I was terrified. Which I guess could be a first-in-all relationship. But after that, I couldn't help but feel this unwavering attraction to you even now. I was so happy when you said yes to our first date and even more so when…", he coughed while slightly blushing, making the woman blush and everyone else chuckle at his inference. Getting back on track, he said, "Ahem! Anyway, what I'm trying to say is I love you. And I never expected things to go this fast in our relationship. I wanted to wait a bit longer, but I guess things happen for a reason. So, Inko Midoryia. Will you do me the honor of marrying me?", he asked while opening a small ring box with a single wedding band.
Inko was on the verge of tears at this, and holding her emotions back long enough to speak, she replied, "Oh Egon, yes. Yes, a thousand times!"
Egon then picked up Inko again and spun her around in a hug while everyone clapped, cheered, whistled, gave well wishes, or exchanged money for bets. All the while, Izuku stood off in the background and watched this all happen with a satisfied yet uneasy disposition. Sure, he was now sort of okay with Egon and his mom together, but now things had gone to the next level, and he wasn't too sure how he felt about it. At least his mom is happy.
"I love romance!", Honey Lemon squeaked in delight.
"Congratulations, you two!", Rogue said while clapping her hands.
"I'm s-s-s-s-so happy for yo-o-o-o-ou two!", Chopper bawled out.
"Reminds me of my third wedding.", Genus said with a whimsical sigh.
This one statement, out of the sea of man, caught everyone's attention and ceased all noise as all eyes fell upon the ever-changing man.
Noticing this, Anima looked around at everyone and argued, "What? I'm not divorced. All my previous wife's just died of old age."
Hearing this, no one could bring themselves to do or say anything! All except for Egon, who said one thing they were all thinking, "Genus…just how freaking old are you!?"
