Not as planned 1.5 - Katsuki and Eijiro von Puraido (A/B/O Verse) ================================================================================ Kapitel 18: Katsuki Bakugo + Eijiro Kirishima: +7 Years – First Trimester (+Izuku) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Katsuki felt really big for the past couple of weeks. He couldn’t see his feet any longer, which kinda freaked him out. He was mostly at home in his nest, and while Hiroto was at work, usually Momo was with him, she brought Yuki and Enko over, too. She didn’t mind staying with Katsuki, since she was at home all the time and Shoto was working, too. Katsuki enjoyed the company, especially the pups, he couldn’t wait to hold his daughter in his arms. One evening Hiroto came home, rather stressed. “What’s wrong?” Katsuki asked as he waddled towards his distressed mate. “Ah, my parents showed up at my workplace to show me my new sister. My mother tried to guilt-trip me in coming back if I really wanted that my sister grows up never knowing her older brother.” He grimaced. “I feel bad for the child, but I won’t have contact with my family.” Katsuki rubbed carefully over Hiroto’s back. “They are such a nuisance. You don’t have to go back if you don’t want to.” “I know … They made such a terror in the school, it was so embarrassing, my boss was royally mad. She was scaring some of the children.” “Damn, your mother is such an asshole” he leaned his head against Hiroto’s shoulder, he purred a little to soothe him. He turned around to hug Katsuki, he rumbled as an answer to the purring. Eijiro dove headfirst into more and more work. He even did all the damn nasty paperwork. Since his condition still wasn’t the best, he usually took easier jobs, he dealt with the day-to-day robber. Most of them were easy to handle. He also took more intensive care of Ryuu, he was doing the hero job still only half time, so he could invest more time in his son. He also tried to focus more on Mae, she deserved it! Yet, the intrusive thoughts about the other alpha still wouldn’t leave his head and it drove him, in some nights, to insanity, especially when he slept with Mae and his thoughts trailed off, he felt immensely guilty. But what could he really do about it? Yeah, nothing, this train had left the station. Katsuki didn’t know what he was supposed to do in that situation now, he was nine months pregnant and this situation scared him to death. If he were not pregnant, he would have dealt with it better, at least he knew that he could defend himself properly, but now? Karen Okuda came rushing towards him. “YOU” She came to a stop in front of him. Katsuki grabbed the handle of the shopping cart tighter. He just wanted to get the grocery shopping done while Hiroto was at work. How did this woman even know that he was here? “What do you want?” Katsuki asked. “You are the ‘mate’ of my son, right?” Karen spat, she said the word ‘mate’ as if it was an insult. “That little disabled omega …” Her voice was so condescending. “Tch, I’m not an omega!” Katsuki growled. “Oh, sweetie, you are. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be pregnant right now.” Her voice was mocking. “And your pregnancy is, what we need to talk about.” She grabbed his arm. “You are pregnant with my grandchild! And I want you to give it to me! You are not fit to be a mother, you are confused, you don’t know where your place is. I must fear for the life of my grandchild.” She scoffed. “What the hell are you talking about?” Katsuki tried to pull his arm away, but she had an iron grasp on it. “Ouch, you’re hurting me!” “Pah, you’re just a weak little omega after all, and you will listen to me. I have no idea what you did to my son, but you will not take him away from me!” “You are crazy! I’m not giving you my pup! Now let me go! Hiro doesn’t want anything to do with you because you’re a fucking racist bitch!” Katsuki hissed. “How dare you talk to me like that?!” Karen smacked him one time on the cheek. Katsuki was shocked that she did this in public. He stumbled a few steps back and he tried to keep his balance, but he fell over his own prosthetic leg. He closed his eyes and awaited the impact with the ground. But it never came, instead, two strong arms caught him. “Hey, lady, that’s not very nice, don’t you see that he’s pregnant?” the person growled. Katsuki opened his eyes again and looked up, he inhaled sharply, when he saw the familiar purple ball hair. Mineta looked at the woman while he steadied Katsuki. “I see that! He’s carrying my grandchild, and it is not safe with him! He doesn’t want me to see it!” she got louder. “I can’t imagine why” Mineta answered sarcastically. At that moment, the manager of the store came over. “What is going on here?!” He questioned. And then a screaming tirade from Karen ensued. She whined about Katsuki and that he wouldn’t let her see her grandchild, and how rude he was, and that he stole her son. Katsuki was still shaking and he felt dizzy all of a sudden, the loud high pitched banshee screeching of Karen was too much for him. Mineta noticed, and he brought him over to the area where the benches were so he could sit down. “Are you okay?” his former classmate asked. “I don’t know … I feel weird.” His cheek was throbbing, and together with the spinning of his head, it made him feel nauseous. “I think I have to vomit.” “Oh, wait, I get a bucket or something.” Mineta disappeared and shortly after that, he reappeared with the bucket. He gave it to Katsuki, he also gave him a bottle of water. “Thanks …” Katsuki murmured before he took a sip. He placed the bottle next to himself and grabbed the bucket, just in case. “Strange that we meet always during grocery shopping” Mineta chuckled, he tried to lighten the mood a bit. “Yeah, really strange” Katsuki tried to smile a little but he couldn’t. Instead, he mustered the other man. “You’ve gotten big,” he noticed. “Yeah, I transitioned to alpha, I grew because of the hormones” he stated. “Right, those work miracles” Katsuki remembered his own growths spurt. “Jep, but it doesn’t matter now, how are you feeling?” Mineta changed the topic back. “Still weird. My head’s spinning.” “Do you want me to call an ambulance? This doesn’t sound good” Minoru was nervous. “I don’t know … Ah-” Suddenly, Katsuki clutched his stomach as the pain was shooting through it. This wasn’t right, this wasn’t supposed to happen! It was early February, and he wasn’t due for like two more weeks. “Yes, an ambulance, please …” He flinched as more pain was waving through his body. “Alright, give me a sec.” Mineta grabbed his phone and called an ambulance. Tears shot into Katsuki’s eyes, and suddenly he could feel something wet running down his legs. “Shit … I think my water broke …” Mineta told the operator that they needed to hurry now, he hung up and tried to comfort Katsuki. “C-can you call my mate?” Katsuki gave him his phone with shaking hands. “Of course,” Mineta called Hiroto too, he immediately finished up classes and left, he would drive home first to grab the prepared bag for Katsuki, he would meet him at the hospital. Karen was still screeching somewhere in the background when the paramedics arrived. They brought Katsuki to the ambulance and then drove him to the hospital. Before that, he thanked Mineta again for his help. Hiroto arrived shortly after Katsuki at the hospital, he immediately walked over to the delivery room, Katsuki was so happy that he was there. They would do the C-Section soon, he was slightly scared. “I’m glad you could make it” Katsuki was under the influence of painkillers already. “I’m here, everything will be okay”, he placed a kiss on Katsuki’s forehead and grabbed his hand. The doctors worked on him quickly and after some time, the crying of a newborn pup filled the room. Katsuki thought it was the most beautiful sound in the world. The nurse cleaned the pup quickly, while the doctors closed Katsuki, after that he was allowed to hold his baby girl for the first time. He cried tears of joy when he held her, she was so small! But thankfully she wasn’t in any danger, she was developed enough to survive on her own already. He scented her thoroughly. The nurse helped Katsuki to position his daughter for breastfeeding for the first time, Hiroto looked down on the two and he thought that he was the happiest man alive. A while later, Katsuki was brought into his room, he had given his daughter to Hiroto, his eyelids were heavy and he drifted off to sleep. When Katsuki woke up, his parents were in the room too, they were talking with Hiroto, who had their daughter on the arm. She was sleeping peacefully. “Hey, Katsuki,” his mother greeted him, “how are you feeling?” “Exhausted, but happy” he answered with a soft smile. Hiroto gave him his daughter, and he couldn’t do anything but marvel at her beauty. She was perfect! “Do you have a name for her already?” Masaru asked. “Yeah, her name is Kira,” Katsuki said with a smile. “That’s a pretty name” Mitsuki carefully patted his head while looking down at her granddaughter. A while later, Katsuki told Hiroto and his parents what happened before. Hiroto was absolutely fuming, he promised he would talk to his mother again, that this was unacceptable. Eijiro and a few of the others visited Katsuki in the hospital, the redhead was very surprised to see Mineta here. “Hey, how are you doing?” Eijiro asked. “Oh, I’m doing good, better than ever” Mineta smiled. “You helped Katsuki, right?” Hiroto asked. “Yeah, but I didn’t do much, I just called the ambulance” he shrugged. “But still, thank you!” Hiroto offered his hand and Minoru shook it. “No problem.” They were allowed to see Katsuki and the blonde was very happy to see them all. He was holding Kira and he was just done feeding her when they entered. “Damn, so cute” Mina jumped up and down. “Will she be a Bakugo or Okuda?” “Bakugo, definitely” Hiroto jumped in. “And damn I can’t wait to take his name too when we get married” he sat next to his mate, who let out a delighted chirp. “Do you have a plan for when this will be?” Eijiro asked. “Hm, not yet, I want to get back to my normal form first, but I hope it will be this year” Katsuki explained. Mae wiggled her dog ears slightly and looked to Eijiro, she had Ryuu on her arm, the toddler looked over to the bed, he babbled some things. After that he let the others hold Kira for some time, not too long though. When Eijiro, Mae, and Ryuu came back home and after Mae had put him to bed for a nap, she sat next to Eijiro on the couch. “Is something the matter?” Eijiro asked her. “Well … I don’t know, but when Hiroto and Katsuki talked about getting married … I kinda wanted this too” she mumbled. Eijiro felt slight discomfort rising up in him. He kinda figured that she might want this eventually, but he hadn’t really thought about this yet, it was still kinda different as it were with Hitomi. “I … understand …” he started, Mae looked towards him. “I, look, I’m not going to ask you now, because that would feel not right, it would feel … insincere if you know what I mean.” She nodded. “Yeah, if you would ask me right now after me telling you, I would probably say no too. I don’t want to force you into marrying me, you should want that for yourself. You just should know, that I want to marry you.” Eijiro observed her. “I want to have a real family with you, Eiji, I know we had a rather rough start, the pregnancy and all, it wasn’t at all what I imagined my life to be. I always dreamt of a big happy family, I always wanted many, many pups, a loving husband … we would take care of the pups, so both of us could also work too and so far those points work out, I have one pup, an awesome partner who actually is engaged in the life of his child … But I am not married yet, and … you are not happy in this.” The alpha flinched. “W-why would you think I am not happy?” Mae had a very serious expression. “You seem to forget that my Quirk is Dog Whisperer and I have traits of a dog quirk. My senses are heightened and my dogs can sense your distress pretty well too. Ever, after the underground incident, you’ve been off. Even after the cure and every time we have sex you are not there mentally. I can sense that!” A deep blush spread over Eijiro’s face, he turned away slightly and covered his face with his palm. “Damn, I tried my best to not let anyone notice …” “Maybe you could have fooled someone with lesser senses” she gently placed a hand on his shoulder. “Look, I am not mad or anything, I know that you are going through a lot, but I wish you could tell me what is on your mind.” Eijiro sat there for a few moments. He didn’t know what he was supposed to do now, she said she wasn’t mad, but what if he actually told her? He slowly shook his head and cleared his throat. “I … don’t know why this came up when it did. Since I was in the underground, fighting all the time against other alphas … I remembered something from far, far back,” he started, “and ever since I am kinda awkward in the proximity of other alphas.” He looked down to the ground. “Oh? Is it like … fear?” She asked. “No, I’m not afraid of alphas, it’s actually quite the opposite …” he mumbled. “I get aroused by them …” She raised her eyebrows. “Okay?” “Yeah, you see, I had some sexual encounters with alphas, before we dated … male alphas, and I … I don’t know, I really enjoyed the power play. And don’t get me wrong, you can also be quite powerful in bed, and I really like it when you dominate me, but … I …,” he blushed deeply and he began to stutter, “kinda want to … have a dick up my ass sometimes …” out of embarrassment he couldn’t look at her, but he heard her gasp. “Ooooh” she made a long sound. “That’s what’s wrong …” She cleared her throat. “I forgot that you are bisexual.” He slowly lifted his head and turned towards her. “I mean, yeah, of course, I can’t help you with that desire …” “I’m sorry, Mae, I know that it’s insensitive and that I shouldn’t think about that. I feel unmanly for doing so, I feel like that’s cheating …” “Nah, it’s okay, I mean, I guess I would be a little bit bothered if you’d fantasized about other women while we were doing it, but since you think of guys … I can’t really say anything” she puffed her cheeks a little and tilted her head, she seemed to think about something. Eijiro still felt really bad about it all when she continued to talk. “How about swinging?” Confused, he looked up. “Huh?” “Yeah, I mean, you want sex with a guy right, And … well before we met my guilty pleasure was gay porn.” She said nonchalantly. Eijiro’s eyes widen. “It wouldn’t be cheating if I am watching you, or I don’t know even participate? As long as I am aware of what you’re doing with other partners.” Eijiro stared at her, wide-eyed, open-mouthed, completely baffled and his brain seemed to short-circuit for a second. She chuckled and snapped her fingers in front of him. “Hey, Earth to Eijiro, someone in there?” Still dumbstruck Eijiro blinked. “Eh, yeah, I am, I just … I was just surprised that you would say that. A-are you really okay with that? Me sleeping with other men?” “I mean, if I can watch, sure” she smiled at him. “Oh, yeah, of course, no problem!” He started to grin, still with blushed cheeks. How on earth did this work out somehow? He was so afraid of telling this to Mae … “So … how we are going about this?” He tilted his head. “I mean, we could visit a swinger club, or we do this during your rut? Service Top Alphas are not uncommon” she mentioned. He thought about it for a moment. “Yeah … that could work. We should do that when my rut comes up” he nodded. “Thanks!” She raised her eyebrows. “What for?” “For being so accepting of that. I was scared of how you’d react to that …” He sighed. “Don’t worry about it. And who knows, maybe this will release some tension” she smiled again. “I hope so too” He leaned over and kissed her. Life was a tad bit stressful for Katsuki and Hiroto, they had to get up quite often during the night, Kira woke them up almost hourly. She was a little screamer and Katsuki feared that she had inherited this from him since Hiroto was usually very calm. After a couple of weeks, Katsuki was still on maternity leave, they had decided he would go back to heroics in April before the next school year started, and Hiroto would stop working then. This way he didn’t have to abandon his class right before the end of the school year. Katsuki walked into the office, the pup was secured to his chest in a cloth. He purred nonstop to keep her calm. “Oooh, look who’s there!” Sougo greeted him. “I see, you bring the little creature with you, a human sacrifice?” Kuroko wondered. Katsuki growled at her. “Don’t touch her! She’s not a sacrifice!” “Kuroko, you can’t just call pups creatures!” Satsuki scolded her. “Everyone is a creature. Katsuki is a creature too, and the pup is a creature but smaller” Kuroko deadpanned. Katsuki shook his head and sighed. He walked over to Michiko’s desk. “I meant to tell you that I come back in April. Well at least for a few hours, I still need to properly learn how to fight with the prosthetic.” He informed her. “That is not a problem at all, Katsuki. I am happy that you’re coming back soon. And I’ll make sure that you don’t overwork yourself.” “Appreciated.” Toya stood up now and walked over to Katsuki. “Can I hold her?” The blonde smiled and unstrapped his daughter. He gave her to Toya. The omega purred happily. “God, it’s always a great feeling. I remember when I had Hotaru in my arms for the first time” he said between his purring. “It’s been so long since she was so small …” Katsuki mentioned. “Yeah, I know!” Toya chirped. “What about you all?” Katsuki turned. “Do you ever plan on having pups?” He looked between the females. He kinda knew already where Sougo and Toya stood. “Never,” Kuroko said immediately, “unless the Unholy Lord grants me the Immaculate Conception.” “Uh … okay!” Katsuki blinked a few times. “I thought about having pups, but I don’t even have a partner, so no” Satsuki said. “I would be up for a pup, whenever Toya feels ready” Sougo answered, Toya blushed a little. “Never thought about having children. Would probably give me huge anxiety attacks to gain weight” Michiko murmured. “I would probably not have a problem in siring a child but being a dam is not my cup of tea.” “Understandable” Katsuki answered. “I have a question” Kuroko perked up. “It’s something that Saeko mentioned. Do you plan on getting a knot?” Katsuki flinched and blushed. “Why the hell are you interested in this?” Katsuki growled. She shrugged. “Just curiosity.” He sighed. “No, there’s no need” he mumbled. “Why not?” she questioned further. Grumbling, Katsuki answered, he knew that she wouldn’t let this slide. “Because I’m a bottom, or power bottom at best.” “Ahh, makes sense. But did you never think of switching?” She tilted her head. “Nope, I rather have something shoved up my ass, I enjoy that more” Katsuki deadpanned. “Fair enough” Kuroko lifted her hands. “Now excuse me, I’ll go on patrol.” “Wait, I’m coming with you” Satsuki stood up and followed her. “Why is she even asking such things? I thought she’s not interested in sex?” Katsuki was still, even after all those years, irritated by Kuroko’s behavior. “She just enjoys messing with people” Sougo and Michiko answered at the same time. “It’s kinda creepy when you guys do that …” Katsuki mentioned. They both laughed at that. Eijiro’s rut was coming up in March and he was kinda nervous. He was never really in a swinger club before. Mae and he walked over to the reception, they booked a room for Eijiro’s entire rut. They got a room key and they wandered around in the club, there were dozens of couples in the lounge, sometimes there were singles. Everyone got a batch to make clear what secondary gender they had. Surprisingly many betas were also here. Eijiro could smell the ruts of the other alphas seeping through the entire building. It was quite an unusual sensation, he usually stayed away from other rutting alphas, the exception had been Tetsutetsu and of course the other alphas on the disastrous school trip in their second year. Mae wore exquisite and expensive closing, an elegant dark purple dress, it was revealing and she also wore a harness and a collar. She had a black armband around her wrist, she had gotten it at the reception, to indicate that she was just here to watch her partner. Eijiro was in a red suit with a black dress shirt. He wore a light and dark blue wristband to indicate that he was looking for alpha males. “Wow, I’ve never been here before” Eijiro mumbled. “Me neither, but I am kinda thrilled.” Mae had a huge grin on her face and her ears moved around as she listened to all the different voices. They sat in the lounge on a big crème colored couch and enjoyed a few drinks when Eijiro noticed that he slipped into his rut. He saw some couples having sex in the lounge, which was totally fine, it really didn’t bother them too much. Another couple approached them eventually. The man was a really big alpha, he was taller and broader than Eijiro was, he seemed to be European he had short golden hair and incredibly blue eyes. He wore a damn tight button-up shirt and even tighter leather pants. He also seemed to be much older than Eijiro, at least ten years. Next to him was an omegan woman with long black hair she wore a tight blouse and a black corsage, going into a mini skirt, with a train that almost reached the ground. She wore high leather boots and fishnet tights. “Hello there,” the alpha greeted him with a thick accent. “May I sit with you?” His voice was dark and soothing, he had a low rumble in it. “Oh, yes, sure!” Eijiro patted on the cushion next to him, the alpha sat down, while the woman kept standing. “I’m Aric, that’s my friend Morrigan” he introduced them. “Nice to meet you, I’m Eijiro, that’s my girlfriend Mae” Eijiro did the same. Mae waved at them. “I see that you are interested in male alphas and I just couldn’t turn my eyes away from you” Aric charmed him. Eijiro was kinda nervous, but on the other side, his rut was coming in quickly and he felt himself less and less caring. “Oh, you couldn’t?” Eijiro tilted his head. “No, it’s been long since I had such an attractive alpha like you. It would be an honor to be at your service” he let out a dark chuckle and this sent chills down Eijiro’s spine, he had butterflies in his stomach. “Well, that’s great to hear!” He grinned out of nervousness. “I’m sorry, it’s the first time I am here, so I don’t really know what to do” he scratched his cheek. Morrigan chuckled a little. “No need to worry, Aric is a very devoted service top.” She said in an even thicker accent. “Oh, that’s good!” Eijiro grinned. “He really wants a dick up his ass,” Mae said. This made Eijiro blush, but because of the reddish light in the lounge, this stayed unnoticed. “Mae!” he growled a bit embarrassed. “What? Tell the things how they are!” She laughed. Aric and Morrigan laughed too. “That’s no problem for me, you want dick, I can provide it” Aric answered. “I hope you don’t mind Morrigan watching?” “No, absolutely not, Mae is watching too”, with his thumb he pointed to Mae. “Are you two partners?” “No, we are not romantically or sexually involved,” Morrigan said. “He is gay and I’m ace, but I quite enjoy watching men having sex. We met at an event and we simply clicked, since then I accompany him.” Morrigan told them. “Oh, okay, I understand” Eijiro groaned suddenly as a surge of lust hit him. “M-my rut is about to start. We have a room here if you want to follow us?” “Of course, go ahead!” Aric gestured for Eijiro to move and the four of them made their way up to the room. Eijiro didn’t exactly know what to expect, but he definitely liked it, Morrigan and Mae sat on two extremely comfortable-looking chairs, while was pushed onto the giant bed by Aric. He had told him beforehand what was okay and what not so they could now start. Aric kissed Eijiro a little before he started completely undressing him. He didn’t take long and since Eijiro drifted off into his rut, this was exactly what he needed. The older alpha flipped Eijiro on his stomach and growled a little. This was met with another growl by Eijiro’s alpha. He didn’t quite like it at first. Aric put on a condom and smeared lube over his dick and Eijiro’s entrance. “You want a dick up your as, you can have that” he low-growled into the younger alpha's ear. A shiver ran down Eijiro’s spine as two fingers pushed into his ass. He squirmed under the older alpha. “Do it” he growled with his alpha commanding voice, not that it would do anything with Aric. Without hesitation and without complaining, Aric placed his dick in front of Eijiro’s hole and he pushed himself into it. Eijiro bit down on the pillow and he squinted his eyes shut, damn that hurt! But his rut-ridden brain ignored the pain. Aric did a pretty good job in keeping him down too. Eijiro immediately noticed the difference in experience, Aric moved completely differently from Tetsutetsu back then. Aric knew how to make him crazy, he could delay his orgasm for ages. The redhead actually had to beg him to finish it – for this round – because he couldn’t endure it anymore. “Do you want me to knot you?” Aric asked. “Y-yes! Do it” Eijiro panted heavily he was drenched in sweat they were going for some time now. Aric pushed somehow even deeper into him and then the knot expanded. Eijiro whined and his head sunk onto the mattress, tears were streaming out of his eyes. He felt so damn full, he really wasn’t used to this, but it was a great feeling. It was however still a little different from back then … While they waited for Aric’s knot to deflate, they talked a little. They found out that Aric was from Iceland, ironically he got an ice quirk, while Morrigan was from Ireland, but most of the time she had lived in the Scottish Highlands. Morrigan asked if she should use her gravitation quirk for some fun. She could freely control the gravity of any object. Unlike Ochako she could not only decrease but also increase the gravity. Eijiro said, that she sure could do that a little later. While they waited, Mae went over and she took also a little care of Eijiro. She wouldn’t get fucked by him during this rut, but she also wanted some fun. Over the course of the next couple of days, Eijiro had constant power struggles with Aric. While he never tried to top Aric, he tried to fight for dominance, sometimes he got it, but more often he lost, which was frustrating on the one side, but it also drove him to try it even more. They worked through the whole package of condoms fairly quickly. At the end of Eijiro’s rut, he felt like his asshole was completely destroyed. He was so exhausted. “Wow, thanks, Aric, I … I’m still shaken up,” Eijiro said, he was lying on the mattress, still too exhausted to move a muscle. “No problem, Eijiro.” Aric rumbled. It amazed Eijiro that he hadn’t entered his rut while serving Eijiro. They cleaned themselves, even though Eijiro felt still really weak. “Whenever you need my service again, come and visit me. I am here for the rest of the year before we move on.” “Alright, good to know, thanks again” Eijiro smiled at him. When they got home Mae grinned at him. “Sooo? How did it feel, that dick up your ass?” She had a teasing voice. “Oh, it felt great! Painful, but great!” he said. “Thank you for letting me do this!” he kissed her and she laughed. “No problem, dear.” She purred. “I hope you can help me equally well during my heat next time!” “Oh, darling, I promise I will” he crooned. +++ Life was still good but damn, was it hard at the moment. Lucia was god damn hard to deal with during her pregnancy. Alpha females were generally really difficult during pregnancy. Even though they were biologically capable of having pups, they were still not originally meant to carry them, that was the reason the fertility of their egg cells was so low. Their hormones during pregnancy worked in even more overdrive. Most symptoms an omega had they had even worse. And because of their low chance of getting pregnant in the first place, they got even more protective of their unborn pups. Sickness, cravings, mood swings all that was amplified. She had luckily warned him beforehand, otherwise, he would probably be shocked massively. She nested pretty heavily, the only time alpha females nested was during pregnancy, she would growl and snarl at him sometimes if he came too close, for her comfort, but only hours later, she would let out a wailing sound to call him back, she needed cuddles. Only Kieran was allowed to be with her all the time if he wanted to. Izuku was currently at work in the fire station, he sat on a chair and leaned his head back. “Damn …” Juri, one of his co-workers said. “You look exhausted.” The beta looked at him skeptically. “Yeah, Lucia is already pretty damn hard to deal with, and she’s only in the first trimester” he groaned. “Alpha ladies do be pretty nasty, while pregnant” Andrew added, he was an alpha too. “Me cousin’s wife is an alpha and he had to go through that five times.” “Yikes. I mean, I love her, I really do, but it is kinda exhausting to float to the store in the middle of the night to get her some pickles.” Izuku grimaced. Charlie, a beta, laughed. “Pickles, huh?” “Yeah, she loved pickles before but now she’s devouring them. I saw her eating pickles with donuts lately …” He cringed. “Ooof, cravings, are weird,” Juri said. “Oh, don’t be so rude,” Abby said, she was also an alpha and the paramedic in charge. She had an omegan wife who was also expecting. “Nah, I don’t mean it in a rude way” Izuku waved his hand. “I support her as much as I can, but I can still find it weird, no?” Abby growled at him. “I mean my wife eats tuna dipped in chocolate so I guess … that’s fair.” “Ahhh, nooo way!” Charlie’s eyes got wide. “Now that’s disgusting!” “She likes it anyway” Abby sighed. The sirens blared suddenly and they got called to an emergency. They all got up and ready. The fire was luckily quickly extinguished and no one was seriously injured. Only one woman had slight burns on her arm, but she got treated at the hospital very quickly. When Izuku got home this night, he was pounced at by Lucia, she crooned and rubbed her face against him. “You’re back!” she made some more happy noises. “I need some love!” Izuku laughed and picked her up, bridal style, and carried her to the bed, Kieran stayed with Inko at the moment, because of her huge sexual drive. He was careful with her, every time they had sex, it was almost too tame for her taste. The sheep had lambs too and Izuku was now full-time busy, he worked one twenty-four-hour shift and had then two days off before he had to go back to work. He also took care of the animals – sometimes in short breaks from work, he had always a radio with him and he would usually float to the scene directly. He was also working on the enlargement of their cottage, plus he took care of Lucia. But he was still happy, he would do anything for his family, even though he didn’t really have time for himself, but he knew that this would get better someday. The time passed incredibly quickly, and before he could even grasp it, it was April again, most of the sheep had their lambs now and Lucia calmed a little bit down too, she was mostly in her nest she had not much energy to do something else. The pregnancy was wearing her out. Izuku was lying next to her, holding her in his arms, one hand trailing over her belly, he was rumbling to soothe her. She was a bit upset, she had yelled at him earlier and now she felt bad, he did his best to convince her, that nothing was wrong. “Hey, Izu … I wondered something” She started. “What is it, love?” he kissed her on the temple. “I wondered if you would marry me, and adopt Kieran legally?” she looked at him. Izuku raised his eyebrows. “Of course I would! Kieran is a son for me already, but I’d love to adopt him properly. And I would also love to marry you.” “That’s good, I’m glad to hear that” she smiled. “But why do you come up with this now?” He wondered. Lucia shrugged. “In case something happens to me, I don’t want Kieran to get ripped away from you, if something happens, you’re the only one he has left. My entire family is gone, he has no other living relatives any longer”, she said. Dread befell Izuku. “Lucy, why are you saying such things?” “Because I do have a heart condition, and pregnancy is really hard. I just want to make sure, that in the worst-case scenario, Kieran is safe with you” She had a very serious look on her face. Izuku’s expression was also very serious, he knew that she had some medical issues and that anything could happen. “I promise you, if something should happen, I will take care of Kieran as if he is my own!” She was relieved. “Thank you!” she leaned over and kissed him deeply.
