Expecting the Unexpected (Bakugou Katsuki x Reader - Domestic Pregnancy AU)

Week 24

Ch.9 - Week 24

"Awe!" You squeaked gently, squeezing your husband's hand slightly. "It's always so cold!"

Your doctor laughed slightly, smearing the gel further onto your stomach. "Well... we do have to keep it slightly cold. So my apologies for the sudden drop in temperature on your stomach."

You shake your head. "It's fine. Don't worry."

Your feather-eared doctor nodded, continuing to get the process set up for your ultrasound. Apparently, since you had hit the six month mark now... it was time for another ultrasound and seeing if your baby was developing along properly.

"Today I just want to check on a few things." Your doctor started, starting to scan for the small being inside of you. "Oh. That reminds me. I can give you both an accurate gender reading today if you'd like."

You blinked, looking towards Bakugou who seemed to be looking at the screen with a set gaze. Almost as if he wanted to spot the baby before the doctor could. As usual, he was determined to be the best at whatever it was he was currently doing.

Even so, it was strange to see him acting so silent and thoughtful. Not to say he never was, but it was becoming a lot more present as of late. Maybe it was the fact that in three months from now, he'd be a dad. Or that he and Best Jeanist were working hard and starting to sign legal paperwork to turn the agency over to him. Or maybe... it was because the idea that childhood and adolescence were over now had made him want to be more mature and act like it.

You couldn't know for sure. But what you did know, was that your husband was definitely trying out this 'patience' thing a lot more. Especially since he was about to have a little baby to raise and didn't want to continually blow up at them over small things.

He had also made large feats in this new way of thinking, ones you didn't even expect him to tackle so soon. But this was your husband... if he didn't take out the biggest challenges first, something was wrong with him.

As such, you had witnessed this new way of thinking first hand when he found out about Uraraka's pregnancy last week. He had seemed to take the news of a 'Deku Baby', as he put it, with a much better reaction than you thought he would. Uraraka and Midoriya had come over for dinner, and told him. As well as their hopeful plans to have your kids grow up as close friends.

He only snorted slightly, shaking his head. You could see Midoriya and Uraraka holding their breath, not sure what to make of this. But then again, they didn't expect him to kinda laugh.

"Fucking copycat..." Bakugou had said. "Still trying to surpassing me on everything I do huh? Gonna die your hair the same shade as mine next, you damn nerd?"

And then to everyone's relief, he didn't say anything negative on the matter. Only asking when to expect the 'next Deku' to be here. He tried to cover it as him wanting to know how much longer this world only had 'one Deku' to deal with... but you could tell.

Part of him, maybe a part he didn't realize... was relieved to have someone he could trust also in the same boat. For better or for worse... Bakugou was still unsure of himself as a parent, so at least, the support net was growing slightly.

Even if it had been damn Deku and Round Face who had suddenly joined in.

The rest of the week had gone well. He was working hard and adjusting to his new hours and duties... but was always home right when you were and helped make dinner. In the past, he was out an hour before you were and home right as dinner was done. So you were enjoying having someone helping you make dinner and having breakfast served to you warm, rather than having to warm up what he made you.
