Our Family - BakuDeku

Week 40

Midoriya POV

Kacchan has been on paternity leave for about 2 weeks now. I am one day overdue and I just want it to be over. I roll over in bed, wincing as my stomach cramps a bit. I put on a hoodie and slowly make my way to the kitchen. 'Morning baby' Kacchan says and kisses my forehead. His arms rest around my waist and I pull him in for a kiss. We pull apart and stay cuddled together in the kitchen. I wince again as my stomach cramps. 'Are you okay Deku?' Kacchan mumbles. 'Yeah, I'm fine. My stomach is just cramping' I reply. 'Maybe you're going into labour' Kacchan says. 'Tell me if they start to get worse or closer together' He says and I nod. 'What do you want for breakfast?' Kacchan questions. 'Buttered toast and chocolate milk!' I say excitedly and I hear Kacchan laugh as he gets things ready. I sit down at the table and wait. Kacchan soon places down a plate of toast and a glass of chocolate milk before heading back to the kitchen to grab his. We sit down and eat. I wince a few times and let out a whine but breakfast goes well.

We spend most of the day on the couch watching movies as I wait through the cramping. We are on our third movie when I let out pained squeal and grab my stomach. I let out a groan and Kacchan turn to me. 'Are you okay?' Kacchan whisper. 'That one was definitely a contraction. Get ready for no sleep tonight, this baby is ready to come out!' I laugh. I groans again and gently massages my hips. The pressure in my pelvis is growing and it's becoming uncomfortable to sit on the couch anymore. 'Do you need anything? You seem uncomfortable. Should I call the midwife?' Kacchan questions. 'No, don't call the midwife. Wait until my water breaks. Can you get the exercise ball out though?' I question. Kacchan nods and goes to the cupboard. He pulls out the ball and places on the floor. He helps me off the couch and I sit on the ball, bouncing softly. Kacchan sits on the floor in front of me, watching. I bounce as another contraction hits and I hold onto my stomach. We stay like that for a while. We play the movie again and just enjoy each others company. 'Kacchan?' I whisper. 'Yeah?' He says quickly turning to look at me. 'Can you get the bath ready?' I question. 'Is it... Are you...' Kacchan whispers. 'No, not yet but soon' I say and Kacchan disappears to the bathroom. I can hear the sound of water running as I try to get up. I walk around the lounge and kitchen slowly, stopping every so often when a contraction hits. I was holding onto the kitchen counter breathing through a particularly painful contraction when Kacchan came looking for me. 'Deku? Where are you!' Kacchan yelled out. 'I'm in the kitchen!' I yell back and Kacchan walks in. He squats down in front of me. 'The bath is ready. Do you want me to call the midwife?' Kacchan questions and I nod my head. Kacchan pulled his phone out and dialled the number I listen to the number ring and begin to walk around again. Kacchan's arm wraps around my waist while he talks on the phone. I whimper as another strong contraction hits. Kacchan hangs up the phone and leans down in front on me again. 'The midwife is about half an hour away. What do you want to do?' Kacchan questions. 'Can we sit down? My feet are getting sore' I say and Kacchan leads me to the couch. He sits down and pulls me into his lap. I relax in his grip and cuddle into him, focusing on my breathing. I whimper as my stomach contracts again and I hear something pop. I can feel hot liquid running down my leg, dripping on the carpet and covering Kacchan's lap. 'Did... Did your water break?' Kacchan mumbled not sure whether he should laugh or panic. I try to answer as the pressure in my pelvis grows. I half heartedly nod and Kacchan helps me up. He wraps his arm around me taking most of my weight. We slowly make our way to the bathroom and Kacchan helps undress me. He helps me into the tub. 'Smile for our friends Deku' Kacchan says before taking a photo. He angles the camera so only above my chest can be seen. He send the photo to the class group chat and puts his phone down. I can hear it vibrating as our friends blow up his phone. Kacchan sits beside the bath and helps me breathe through the contractions. 'Kacchan, can you help me out of the bath?' I whisper. 'What, why?' Kacchan questions. 'I- ummm- I need to go to the bathroom' I whisper. 'Deku, you need to stay in the bath' Kacchan says. 'But I need to go really badly' I say. 'No, you don't. That's the baby pushing on your pelvis, it makes you feel like you need to go but you need to stay in the bath' Kacchan explains. I pout and sink further into the bath. I hear a knock at the door and Kacchan goes to answer it. He walk back in soon after with the midwife and someone else in tow. 'Hi Midoriya, This is Himari. She's training under me so if your okay with it, she will be assisting me' Our midwife explains and I nod. She quickly unpacks her bag and begins to tend to me. Himari stands back and watch until the midwife calls her over. She talks quietly to her before turning to me. 'Has your water broken yet?' She asks. I nod and Kacchan speaks up. 'Yeah, it broke while he was sitting on my lap' Kacchan says, gesturing to his half dried pants. 'You can go change your pants if you want. You have time' Himari says and Kacchan leaves. 'Do you want an epidural? We still have time but you'll have to make the decision quickly' The midwife explains as Kacchan walks back in. I look up at him and he looks back and nods. 'Yes please' I say and she gets a needle out of the bag. Himari helps position me and I take a deep breath as they push the needle in. It hurts but I couldn't care less. I sit back up and wait. Kacchan sits beside me in silence. 'How long do you think we will be waiting?' Kacchan asks the midwife. 'Probably a few hours' she replies and I sigh. 'Hey! What if we call the group chat. They've been blowing up my phone for a while and it would distract you' Kacchan questions and I nod. Kacchan calls the chat and the phone pops up with many frantic and excited faces. Uraraka, Iida, Todoroki, Mina, Kirishima, Denki, Shinsou and Sero all join and they start talking over each other. 'One at a time, I can't hear all of you!' I laugh. Everyone quietens down and Uraraka speaks up. 'So how are you feeling Deku?' Uraraka questions. 'I'm feeling good. I'm glad that I'm not at risk with this pregnancy so there's no rush' I answer. 'Are you at the hospital?' Kirishima questions. 'No, I'm at home. We chose to have this baby at home. Say hi to our midwife' I say turning the camera towards her and she gives an excited wave. We continue to answer questions and talk with our friends for about an hour. I've handed the phone to Kacchan and I'm lying on the side of the tub. I continue to chat until the midwife comes up to talk to me. 'Has the epidural kicked in yet?' She questions. 'Yup, can't feel a thing below my stomach but is it suppose to make me feel sick?' I question. 'That's a common side effects. I've got some bowls in my bag in case you are sick' She answers. I lean back in the tub breathing through a contraction. Kacchan is chatting to everyone about whether it's going to be a boy or a girl among other things. I can feel my stomach turn and sit up to try to stop the nausea. It suddenly gets worse as I rush to sit up and throw my head over the side of the bath. I vomit onto the tiles and cough and gag. I watch it splatter and I can't help myself as I vomit again. 'OH FUCK! IZUKU! Sorry I gotta go!' Kacchan yells before hanging up. The nurse shoves a bowl under the mouth as I continue to be sick. Kacchan turns to the midwife. 'Is this normal?' He questions. 'Yeah, It's normal after an epidural. That's why I brought some bowls. Do you some old towels so we can clean this up?' She questions. Kacchan leaves and comes back with a handful of towels. Himari and Kacchan clean up my mess while I heave into the bowl. 'I am so sorry!' I say in between gags. 'It's alright hun, we know it was an accident. You would have said something if you had time' the midwife says. She comforts me as my heaving finally dies down. The atmosphere relaxes and Kacchan sits beside me. I nuzzle my face into his neck. 'That was so embaressing' I whisper. 'It's okay, although I would've liked some warning' Kacchan laughed. I whine as a strong contraction hits and my hands hold onto my stomach. My face goes red as I push a little. 'Do you need to push?' the midwife questions and I nod my head aggressively. 'Okay, on my count. 1, 2, 3!' the midwife yells and I begin to push. My body slumps as I rest. She calls Kacchan over and shows him something. I push again and again. Kacchan's hands dip into the water along with the midwive's. She guides his hands as he grabs the baby. I give one final push and Kacchan grabs them, pulling them out of the water. He hands them to me and I can feel the tears fall down my face. 'It's a baby girl!' Himari says as Kacchan cuts the cord. 'And she was born with a full head of hair!' Himari says excitedly. Kacchan's eyes snap up to the little girl as if everything in his brain clicked together. 'Wait... why has she got white hair? Did you cheat on me with Icy-hot?' Kacchan says. 'What?! No! Kacchan, my dad's hair is naturally white!' I reply. 'Oh...' Kacchan mumbles. We have a quick laugh as I cuddle with my new daughter. Kacchan snaps a picture before sending it and a few texts. 'Old hag, Aunty and the kids will be here soon. Do you want to move to the bed?' Kacchan questions. I hand the baby to Himari and Kacchan helps me out of the tub. He gently dries me and wipes the sweat of my forehead. He helps me into a loose fitting maternity shirt (Fuck boxers! I just had a baby) and I get into bed. Kacchan pulls the blankets up to cover my bottom half and Himari hands me my baby swaddled in towels. Kacchan climbs in beside me and I hand the baby to him. The midwife hands me a bottle full of electrolytes and I drink half of it before handing it back to her. We sit there admiring our new addition until the bedroom door flies open. The kids come racing in and mum and auntie aren't far behind. 'What did I tell you about running and yelling. Mama just had a baby and he is probably tired and sore' mum tells the kids and they apologise. She holds their hands as they make there way to the bed. Kacchan hands our baby pack to me as the kids climb onto the bed. I wince a little at the movement and they settle down on either side of me. I pull the blankets away and show them their new sibling. 'She's so small...' Takeo says. Mum and aunty Mitsuki come over for a look and mum's eyes begin to water. 'She's got white hair just like your dad...' Mum begins. 'Please don't cry' I plead as my eyes begin to water. She wipes her eyes and turns towards Kacchan. 'Do you guys want some food?' she says and Kacchan turns towards me. I try to stifle a yawn and Kacchan turn back to my mum. 'I would love some food but I think Izuku just wants some sleep' Kacchan says. Mum gets his message as she ushers the kids and Aunty Mitsuki out of the room. I hand the baby to Kacchan and look around. 'Do you have a name in mind for her?' Kacchan asks. 'Yuki... because her hair reminds me of snow' I say. I pull the blankets up my body and look over at Kacchan. 'Get some sleep Izuku. You did amazing' Kacchan says as I close my eyes and let sleep take over.

I wake a few hours later. I can hear the kids with my mum and Aunty Mitsuki down stairs. Kacchan is beside me on his phone and the midwife and Himari and tending to the baby. 'Hey Izuku, How are you feeling?' the midwife questions. 'Tired and I need to pee' I say as I shift in the bed to try and get up. Kacchan is by my side in an instant. 'Hold on!' the midwife says as she comes over to help me up but as soon as I stand up I can feel the liquid gushing down my legs. 'Did you just pee yourself?' Kacchan questions. 'Also another common side effect of an epidural. He has no feeling in his lower body so he has no control over his bladder' the midwife explains. I blush as the liquid drips down my leg. I can hear the door open and Aunt Mitsuki comes in with a plate of food. 'I honestly don't think this could get any more embarrassing' I mutter. 'It's alright honey, I had the same problem when I had Katsuki' Aunty says while placing the food down. She grabs a towel and places it on the floor while the midwife helps me sit on the bed. Kacchan helps clean me up while aunty cleans the carpet. 'How many more times will this happen?' I question. 'Well, the epidural takes about 24 hours to wear off and you going to have to pee at least every hour' the midwife explains. I groan and shift in the bed, pulling the blankets up. Kacchan grabs the food and sits down beside me while Aunty leaves. He grabs a small amount of food and holds it up towards my mouth. I open and he feeds it to me. I munch slowly and swallow. I instantly know that's a bad idea. 'Kacchan!' I say and he hands me a bowl. I grab it off of him and hold it under my mouth. I vomit up what little is left in my stomach before the midwife grabs the bowl off of me and throws it away. I close my eyes and try to slow my breathing as I listen to my little girl cry. I open my eyes and reach my arms out. Himari hands Yuki to me. 'She wants a feed, do you know how?' Himari questioned. 'I've had 4 kids. I think I know how' I laugh and she smiles. I lift my top up carefully and watch as she latches on almost instantly. I don't even notice when I start humming to her and watch as her eyes slowly close and she falls back asleep.
