Chapter 2
Hizashi took Izuku from Hitoshi when the younger alpha’s eyes started to droop and gently placed the baby in a clear cot next to Shouta’s bed. Hitoshi had let out an unhappy grunt at his new brother being taken away, but he curled up in his chair and fell asleep. Hizashi couldn’t help but compare his son and his mate to cats with their ability to fall asleep anywhere.
Knowing people had to be told… Hizashi took a single picture of his new son and put his phone on silent. With a deep shaky breath, he posted the picture in the UA teacher group chat with the caption “Say hi to Yamada-Aizawa Izuku. Male-Omega” and a bunch of emojis.
Hizashi felt his heart clutch wishing he could tell his parents, but they had died five years ago. His father died of cancer and his mother followed six months later of a broken heart, unable to live without her mate no matter how hard she tried. He knew they would have loved Izuku as much as they loved Hitoshi.
It was 5am but almost right away his phone started vibrating wildly with notifications, mostly from Nemuri, asking “what the hell is that?!” and “Why didn’t you tell us?!” mixed in with sarcastic answers of “That’s a baby Nemuri” and a few “congratulations” from the different teachers.
Hizashi gulped when a phone call cut through the notifications, showing Principal Nezu’s scary face. Stepping out into the hall so he wouldn’t wake his family, he hit answer.
“Hello boss man!” Hizashi said with every ounce of bravery he didn’t have.
“Hizashi mind telling me why you and Shouta failed to inform me of your impending family member? You know I hate not knowing things.” Nezu said calmly.
“Well, we just found out ourselves! Shouta had a distressed pregnancy, so his body was keeping the little guy a secret until he was done cooking! Doctor said it happens all the time with omega pro heroes!” Hizashi said quickly.
“Well, I don’t expect to see you for at least two weeks. And Shouta I don’t expect to see for at least the very minimum 10 weeks. Paid of course.” Nezu said, sounding more cheerful.
“You know he’s going to try to sneak back… just try to hide the baby in his capture weapon.” Hizashi joked.
“And I will send him right back home to rest. Having a baby is no joke. I won’t have him injured because of his stubbornness.” Nezu said honestly.
“Thank you Principal Nezu.” Hizashi said, starting to feel every minute of being up all night.
“You sound exhausted so I will let you off the phone. Congratulations by the way.”
“Thank you, sir.” Hizashi yawned and saw over a hundred text message notifications but decided to ignore them in favor of following Hitoshi’s footsteps and falling asleep in the chair.
A FEW HOURS LATER…
Hizashi and Hitoshi fell out of their chairs when Izuku started letting out soft pitiful cries. They were too sluggish to get up right away, but Shouta was there, picking him up. He changed Izuku’s diaper and then lowered the massive cape thing they had given him so Izuku could latch onto a swollen nipple.
“You both look like shit.” Shouta said honestly. Hizashi looked at the time and almost passed out again. 7:32am…
“The doctor isn’t going to release me until at least tonight. You two should go home and rest, then go to the store and get some baby items.” Shouta said. Hizashi smacked his forehead. That was right… they had absolutely nothing for baby Izuku.
“You sure mom?” Hitoshi asked. Shouta gave the sleepy alpha teen a soft smile.
“I’m sure… unless you plan on growing some teats and helping me breastfeed you won’t be much help right now.” Shouta said with a dead serious face. Hitoshi gave him a slow blink.
“Did you seriously try to mom joke me?”
“Yes. Now go home and get some rest. Make sure your father doesn’t crash the car.”
“I resent that.” Hizashi said with a jaw cracking yawn. They both scented Izuku one last time and Hizashi gave Shouta one last kiss before they were heading home.
Shouta relaxed after they left and then looked down at a happily sucking Izuku.
“You’ll get used to them…” Shouta mumbled to him. Izuku blinked up at him with massive brilliant green eyes and then reached a tiny hand up to his face. Shouta smiled and pressed his nose into Izuku’s palm. Everything about Izuku was so tiny… and so far, Izuku was quiet, even his cries of hunger were soft… it made Shouta’s heart clutch painfully. If he had been paying more attention to his body and not working so much… not pushing himself so much maybe Izuku would be bigger… maybe Shouta could have finally had a pregnancy he could enjoy and celebrate. Given birth in a sterile hospital and not a dirty alleyway.
Shouta shook away the emotional thoughts. No, he had to think logically. Izuku was tiny, but he was healthy and ALIVE. That’s all that mattered, not things in the past he couldn’t change. Maybe having a distressed pregnancy was for the best. He didn’t know about the pregnancy so he couldn’t over think and stress about the pregnancy. Was that why his inner omega was so quiet these past few months? It was protecting a life from… him?
Shouta startled slightly when there was a soft knock on his room door and the friendly nurse from the night before walked in with a new nurse.
“How are we this morning? I came to introduce you to my relief and check on everyone one last time before I head home!” she said cheerfully. Shouta just nodded to her as she fussed over him and then gave her relief, an elder beta nurse with deer antlers on her head, a basic rundown.
“Also, the social worker and the detective are here to speak to you whenever you are ready.” The night nurse told him.
“Just send them in, I’m ready to pass out as soon as they leave.” Shouta said and lay back with Izuku laying on him bare chest to bare chest. One of Shouta’s favorite past times when Hitoshi when he was a baby was the skin to skin and he planned to do the same as much as he could with Izuku. He placed the hospital blanket over the both of them to keep Izuku warm and placed his lips gently on Izuku’s hair. Content omega scent filled the room as Izuku’s soft, healthy baby scent filled his nose.
The nurses cooed at the sweet sight and left to send in the social worker and detective, hoping they didn’t upset their patient.
“Hello Aizawa.” Detective Tsukauchi said with a friendly wave of his hand. Shouta looked up and nodded to the familiar detective. A stern round-faced woman with grey hair followed him in carrying a folder and a clip board, taking a seat without so much as a hello to him. Shouta felt his hackles rising but tried to give the woman the benefit of the doubt. It was early in the morning after all…
“I’m Kumiko Chiaki, I am a social worker for the Japanese government and I’m here to make sure you and baby are safe. I just have a few questions and hopefully we can close this case out quickly. Since you know Detective Tsukauchi, I don’t need to explain that his quirk is lie detector and if you lie to me to protect an abusive spouse, partner, or child, I will know, and the newborn will be removed for his safety.” Chiaki said her script with an almost deadpan face. Ah, Shouta caught her vibe. She didn’t want to be here asking questions any more than he wanted to answer them, especially for a case where there was obviously no abuse. Social workers were busy and often over worked, Shouta had nothing but respect for them, so he nodded to her. Chiaki nodded and took out a pen and opened the folder.
“Full name, second gender, and occupation?”
“Yamada-Aizawa Shouta, omega, underground pro-hero Eraserhead and teacher at UA High.” scribble
“Spouse or partner, second gender, and occupation?”
“Yamada-Aizawa Hizashi, alpha, pro-hero Present Mic, teacher at UA High” scribble
“Other children?”
“Yamada-Aizawa Hitoshi, alpha, 14 until July 1st. Middle school” scribble
“Do you feel safe in your home?”
“Yes” Chiaki gave Detective Tsukauchi a quick glance.
“Truth” the detective said.
“Has your alpha partner, spouse, or child ever been violent towards you or made you feel unsafe at any point in time?”
“No”
“Truth”
“Do you feel safe with your alpha partner, spouse, or child?”
“Yes”
“Truth”
“Has your partner or spouse ever violently struck you or your child or used their quirk on you or your child in a violent manner?”
“No”
“Truth” Chiaki shut the folder with a snap after a few more scribbles and nodded to Shouta.
“After our questioning I see no need to waste any more of our time. I deem Yamada-Aizawa Shouta is in a safe place with his alpha husband and son and no more action or investigation needed at this time. He and his newborn are safe to return to his home as soon as the doctor releases him from under his care.” Chiaki let out a cough and then a plain black tape came out of her mouth. She put it in a case and then put it in the folder.
“I’m apologize if I seem short. We had a rough removal last night... If I remember correctly, you helped me remove an omega and children about 3 years ago. You took down an alpha almost 3 times your size.” Chiaki said, giving him a tight smile. Shouta had to think about it then nodded when he remembered.
“You were fearless yourself. You stood between a half feral alpha and the family. I say honestly that I could not do your job… I’d end up losing my license for overuse of force…” Shouta said.
“I’m happy to say that case had a happy ending. Not all of them do.” Chiaki said and stood up “Congratulations on your little one. I wish you both joy and health.” She bowed and left with her folder and clipboard. The detective also bowed.
“Congratulations Aizawa. He’s beautiful.” He left with another quick bow and quietly shut the door.
That night Shouta was released after one more all clear from the doctor. Hizashi and Hitoshi arrived with a brand-new infant car seat with a preemie cushion to keep Izuku safely in place and fresh clothes for Shouta.
Despite Shouta sitting in the back with him, Izuku cried the entire way home, breaking everyone’s hearts. No number of soft coos or comforting scents would calm him. He only stopped pitifully crying when Shouta took him out of the car seat when they finally parked at their home. He stared at Shouta with the wettest most betrayed eyes Shouta had ever seen on a newborn.
“I know I know, but it's not safe for me to hold you while in the car.” Shouta whispered into his hair. Izuku let out a few left-over whimpers and then relaxed into his mother’s chest.
“You didn’t like the car either.” Hizashi told Hitoshi fondly. Shouta was not prepared for the disaster that was his living room as soon as he walked into the door. Every surface was covered in baby stuff.
“Hizashi what the HELL.” Shouta snapped.
“Ok this wasn’t us! Most of this was our friends! Nezu even sent over a year’s worth of diapers!” Hizashi said, motioning to diaper mountain in the corner, with every size from preemie to large toddler. Shouta felt his eye twitching.
“At least we didn’t have to spend a lot of money on the stuff we did need…” Hitoshi said, rubbing the back of his neck.
“There’s even stuff for you. Nemuri brought over nursing bras and shirts!” Hizashi said trying to be helpful by holding up the offending items.
“Why would I wear a bra?” Shouta growled.
“Well, this bra has two middle fingers and this one says, ‘if my boob offends you, good’” Hizashi said happily “And this shirt says ‘MILF’ and this one says, ‘it takes a hot mama to make warm milk’ which I thought was clever.” Shouta gave him a completely dead stare making Hizashi sweat.
“I suppose those ones are acceptable…” Shouta finally relented. He just wanted to go to his nest and fall asleep.
“I made you food mom. I can take Izuku while you eat.” Hitoshi said. Shouta handed him over gratefully and went to the table to eat. The table was full of baby items as well, but Hitoshi had been kind enough to make a spot for Shouta to sit and eat comfortably. It was only rice, fried fish, and miso soup, but Shouta thought it was amazing and wolfed it all down.
Hizashi insisted he take a shower and Shouta was too exhausted to argue. Izuku was staring blankly as Hitoshi cooed at him on the couch, so Shouta went to take a long hot shower.
Shouta finished a long relaxing shower and put on his (internal cringe because he couldn’t think of another name for the massive pad) diaper. He put on some oversized clothes and was about to brush his teeth when a loud, terror filled shriek reached his ears. He slammed the bathroom door open, almost certainly putting a hole in the wall with how hard it hit, and almost slipped while flying down the hallway.
Hizashi was trying to console a very loudly wailing Izuku while Hitoshi looked completely guilty and freaked out on the couch. Shouta hadn’t meant to, but he snatched Izuku away and snarled at them, fangs poking out and eyes turning a golden yellow.
“WHAT DID YOU DO?” Shouta screamed, his heart racing. Hitoshi looked ready to cry so Shouta took a few deep breaths, letting out his calming omega scent for himself and his pups. Izuku finally calmed into quiet hiccups and buried his face in his mother’s chest.
“What… happened?” Shouta got out as soon as he could speak calmly.
“I was just showing him a toy…” Hitoshi sniffled. Shouta and Hizashi looked confused.
“Did you accidentally… drop it on him?” Hizashi asked. His back had been turned when Izuku had let out his terror filled shriek.
“No, I swear! It was just the first one I grabbed out of the bag.” Hitoshi said holding up a soft looking rattle that was All Might’s head in a stupid chibi cartoon print. Shouta took it from him extremely confused now and shook it. Izuku didn’t lift his head from his chest and didn’t react to the rattling. Shouta slowly moved Izuku and held up the toy. As soon as Izuku saw it his tiny eyes got wide, and another terror filled shriek cut through Shouta like a knife. Shouta tossed the toy to Hizashi and rocked Izuku while he sobbed.
“Hizashi… every single blonde idiot themed thing gets removed. Hitoshi I am so very sorry for my reaction earlier. I have no excuse and I shouldn’t have done that.” Shouta said. Hitoshi stood up and hugged his mom tight and Shouta returned the hug with one arm.
“What baby is afraid of All Might…” Hizashi mumbled to himself as he shook the rattle lazily.
“This one. Now get rid of it and anything else with his face on it. Poor Izuku and Hitoshi are traumatized and shaking. We’re all going to sleep in the nest tonight. My nerves and my omega are going crazy now…” Shouta said with a shaky breath. Hizashi gave him a mock salute.
“I shall join you as soon as everything is bagged up!” Shouta nodded and led Hitoshi down the hall to their nest. It was a comfortable round circle of blankets, pillows, and extra clothes that just smelled like their little family. Shouta lifted his shirt to get Izuku to eat one last time before bed and pulled Hitoshi into his other side. Hitoshi melted into his mother’s side and showed no sign of being angry or afraid of him.
“I really am sorry for my actions earlier Hitoshi…” Shouta whispered into his hair.
“I know mom.” Hitoshi whispered sleepily. Hitoshi always slept best in his parents’ nest, a source of comfort and warmth. He hoped when he eventually found his omega that they made a nest just as great as his mom’s.
After Izuku finished eating Shouta made a mini nest right next to him that kept Izuku protected but close. He wrapped both his arms around a sleeping Hitoshi and passed out with no trouble. Shouta could barely open his eyes when Hizashi climbed into the nest with them and wrapped his arms around his eldest pup and mate. All the All Might merch was bagged up and would either be exchanged or donated.
In the morning. Right now, everyone in the Yamada-Aizawa household was sleeping peacefully.
