- three days until the wedding -

After yesterday's somewhat revelation, Shoto decides to take the day off from wedding business and invites Momo to do the same. She agrees but in turn, decides to visit her maid of honor. "Hey babe, I'm going to drive to Jiro's house just for a girls day. Will you be okay here?" said Momo and Shoto nods with a small grin on his face. He gives her a goodbye peck and Momo heads out for Kyoka's home.

On the drive there Momo starts feeling motion sickness, she just barely made it to Kyoka's home before feeling like she was going to pass out. Before getting out of the car Momo takes a plentiful swig of water and pops ibuprofen. Her head was killing her since she woke up and the fact that she had many thoughts going through her head about what is actually happening to her didn't help. Kyoka had seen that Momo pulled up and walked up to her car. The girls exchanged a hug and Kyoka stopped for a moment to ask "Momo? You're so pale! Are you okay?"

Momo pauses for a moment and tries to gather her thoughts.

"I just feel nauseous, wedding stress. Nothing much." She gives Kyoka an unconvincing grin which then prompts her to tell Momo "Scoot over. I'll drive."

Momo doesn't question it and moves to the passenger seat, she sits there wondering where they're heading but doesn't say anything. 10 minutes had passed and Kyoka parks in front of a pharmacy. She gestures Momo to get out of the car and they head in the fancy looking building. "Welcome! Can I help you girls look for anything today?" asked a worker, Kyoka responds by saying "Can you show us to the nausea relief stuff?" Momo hesitates and whispers to Kyoka "Can you go? I have something else I want to look at." Kyoka nods and heads with the worker. On the opposite end of the store, stood Momo under a guide sign that read "pregnancy tests". "Here goes nothing," Momo whispers as she slips one into her basket along with a water bottle and mascara tube to hide it and goes to check out before Kyoka finished grabbing what they came here for.

Momo finishes checking out as soon as Kyoka caught up, she grabbed her bag quickly and thanked the cashier, blushing heavily and running out of the store soon after. A confused Kyoka quickly wraps up her transaction and heads back to the car to console her clearly distressed friend. "Hey Momo, I know I already asked but are you sure you're okay? You were the color of a strawberry in front of the cashier. Are you having second thoughts about the wedding?" Momo replies with "Kyoka, hand me the pills please, I'm nauseous." She says nothing more the entire ride back to Kyoka's place until they arrive.

"Sorry I'm not talking much, I just felt like if I spoke was going to vomit. Thank you for driving me." Momo then went on and explained her symptoms to Kyoka as they entered her home. Right after, Kyoka helps by saying "I can make you some tea! We can order food and watch movies all day too. I know that wedding is stressing you out, so let's just have fun today!" Kyoka's earphone jacks formed a heart and went to boil water for their tea. As Kyoka prepared the tea, Momo slips into the bathroom and does what she had been planning to do all day. It didn't hit her that it could be a possibility until last night when she laid awake thinking about how it was just up until now that she felt sick. She could attribute part of it to being overwhelmed about the wedding, but something just didn't feel right. Then it hit her, she checked her tracking app and realized that maybe it just so happens to be true.

Momo places the test on the bathroom counter and takes a breather. It would be about 3 minutes before it would yield a result and to Momo it felt like the longest 3 minutes of her life. Thoughts overtook her head like a bloody war.

"What will Shoto think? Are we truly ready for this? I do want kids but isn't it too soon? How am I going to break the news to Shoto?"

*beep*

A dazed Momo gasps and a tear streams down her cheek. "Positive." "5 weeks along."

She walks into Kyoka's kitchen holding the plastic stick of fate, with a deep breath she announces to Kyoka, "I'm having a baby."

"WHAT! Momo! Congratulations! I never would've thought that's what was going on! I'm so happy for you! Now your scene at the pharmacy makes so much more sense!" A stunned Kyoka prances around the kitchen and awards Momo a warm, bubbly hug. At that moment all of Momo's worries went away and she gave a bright, kind smile. Her best friend was by her side and excited for what was to come for her.

Kyoka breaks the hug and asks Momo, "So what are your thoughts? What will Todoroki think? This is such big news!" Momo breathes loudly and says, "When I read the result I couldn't believe it, part of me didn't even want it to be real. But having your support and realizing that Shoto is the one I wanted to reach this milestone with warms me up inside. I know it won't be easy, but being a mother is something I have given very serious thought. I just hope Shoto agrees with me."

Momo laughs and Kyoka goes in for another hug. The girls spend the rest of the day doing what they planned, movies and lots of junk food. While eating they talked about baby names and drew up scenarios about the future. "Maybe you and Kaminari aren't too far behind?" said a clever Momo, resulting in a flustered Kyoka blushing to the core and almost floating.

The pair gave their goodbyes and Momo drove off back to her place. Getting back she finds Shoto fast asleep in bed. Momo bends down and plants a small kiss on his cheek then whispers in her sweet and innocent voice "We're going to be parents."
