Chapter Text
Hawks opened his eyes slowly feeling the same nagging pain in his gut. Dabi had come home after dinner and explained what had happened. He couldn’t be too upset since he did the right thing, but it was mildly frustrating. Now he wasn’t even able to sleep it off. Sleep had been a little easier with Dabi back in the nest but he hasn’t been able to get comfortable at all tonight. He kept waking up to cramps and pains, but was usually able to get back to sleep. The blonde looked at the time tiredly. 4am..he should be asleep. The hero sighed before closing his eyes to try and get back to sleep. “Ah,” he said slightly surprised feeling a ever sharper pain in his lower stomach. It didn’t feel like a kick. “Ooooo fuck,” he groaned lowly when it seemed to draw out longer than he expected. Hawks pushed himself up as he sat up in the bed and rubbed his stomach to try and sooth it. That seemed to have fixed the issue since the pain was still gone after a few minutes. Hawks relaxed a little as he went to lay back down again. “Mmmm shit,” he whined out loudly as he gripped Dabi’s arm tightly when the pain hit him again, what the hell was that!?
Dabi gasped unhappily as Hawks squeezed the shit out of his arm. Tiredly, he opened his eyes, biting back a yawn. “What the fuck?” he mumbled. “You good, birdie?” he asked, sleepily taking in his mate’s face. Hawks looked terrible. He sat up, yawning again. “You need me to get another ice bath or something?” he asked, figuring Hawks was probably just having a bad time sleeping and had woken him up dramatically.
Hawks watched Dabi slightly annoyed when he woke up and seemed tired. He hit the arsons arm lightly. “Ugh no. Something is wrong,” he told the arson before sighing softly in relief when the pain faded again. He sat up completely again before sighing. “My stomach has been cramping all night,” he admitted. He usually could go back to sleep though, now it was waking him up.
Dabi woke up immediately, brain going into overdrive. “Holy shit, like contractions?” he asked nervously, brushing the omega’s hair out of his face. “I’ve got the bags ready, and if you want I can call Kurogiri and see if we can get a portal to the hospital or something,” he said, already planning ahead.
Hawks relaxed a little when Dabi seemed to take him more seriously now. “I don’t know. Maybe? It is a bit early,” he said a bit worried as Dabi brushed his hair back. He wasn’t at 40 weeks yet. His due date was still a few weeks away. “If it’s contractions they are pretty far apart right now,” he said. His stomach was a little tight right now but didn’t hurt.
Dabi patted Hawks on the cheek before figuring ‘fuck it’ and leaning in to press a soft kiss to his lips. “It’s okay, birdie. He’s not even a preemie anymore, just early full-term or whatever, if that’s what’s happening. Honestly, I’d rather be at the hospital sooner than later, just in case. Once they really start coming you’re gonna be a mess,” he reasoned.
Hawks leaned into Dabi’s hand slightly when his cheek was patted before blushing slightly when he was kissed. The hero looked at Dabi surprised before slowly nodding to him in agreement. “Okay…I guess we should maybe get ready at least,” he told the arson. Maybe it was gone now? He wondered unsure before gritting his teeth and whining loudly when he was instantly proven wrong by a wave of pain. “Dabi,” he whimpered softly as he hunched over in the bed.
Dabi whined loudly, wrapping his arms around Hawks in a tight hug. “Okay, okay, uh, do the breathing thing, okay? I’m gonna grab the go back and see if Kurogiri can zap us to the hospital, otherwise I’ll call a cab, I don’t think the bus is running yet,” he admitted as he stood up, pulling out his phone and dialing Kurogiri’s number as he hunted for Patches and the go bag, grabbing some slip on shoes for Hawks and bringing them to the bedroom as the phone rang, etiquette be damned.
Hawks looked at Dabi upset as he was held close to him. “Okay,” he breathed out as he rubbed his face exhausted. God that really hurt. He relaxed when the pain stopped again. He really didn’t want to do this all day. He felt like he was burning up among everything. The hero slowly got out of bed before grabbing a shirt and pulling it on. He was just going to keep his basketball shorts on. The blonde looked at Dabi when he brought him a pair of shoes before sliding them on. Hopefully Dabi had everything taken care of like he said.
Kurogiri sat next to Eri as he read a book quietly. He was still on guard duty until the Nine situation was over. He quickly grabbed his phone and silenced it when it started to ring. He studied the child to make sure she was asleep before slowly standing and stepping out of the room with the door cracked. “It’s late. Eri and Tomura are sleeping,” he told the arson annoyed.
Dabi rolled his eyes. “No fucking shit, it’s like four am, idiot, I know that. Hawks is having contractions and the buses don’t start until five. Can you portal us to the hospital or something, please?” he asked, shouldering the go-bag. He handed Patch to Hawks once the omega’s shoes were on. “He’s in a lot of pain and I’m worried about taking a cab when he’s like this.”
Kurogiri listened to the arson as he was asked for help. He didn’t really want to help out but Tomura would be upset with him if he didn’t help. They were technically league members anyways…”Fine. Standby,” he told the arson mildly annoyed before starting to open the portal. He knew where the two were, it was his job to. He opened the portal in the pairs house before linking it to a portal in front of the hospital. He would give them five minutes to go through before he would close them.
Dabi grinned when the portal showed up, elbowing Hawks gently. “Okay, thank, Kurogiri. Uh, could you tell Tomura when he wakes up? And Geten? I’m worried about how bad Hawks seems,” he admitted. Usually, Hawks could handle anything but the pain was clearly getting to him.
Hawks grunted feeling Dabi elbow him before elbowing him back roughly in the side, he was not in the mood to be teased. “Is this real bad?” He asked Dabi a bit worried hearing him. This did really hurt, more than maybe anything. “I will when he wakes up and message Geten,” Kurogiri agreed coldly. “Anything else?” The fog villain asked sounding annoyed.
Dabi rolled his eyes again. “Jesus, no. I mean Eri, tell Eri, but otherwise no. Calm down, asshole. Thanks for the fucking help,” he snapped, hanging up the phone. “Sorry, birdie,” he said, rubbing his side where he’d been hit. “We have a portal if you wanna take it. Once you’re checked in at the hospital I’m gonna call my mom, but I won’t leave your side,” he promised, moving to help Hawks stand. He just needed to get his own shoes on and they were good to go. Even Hiroto’s little kitty hat was packed up. “You better not hurt your oma too much, Hiroto, or you’re only getting the half-siblings,” he warned the pup.
Hawks watched Dabi finish the call before sighing deeply hearing they had a portal. “Okay let’s just hurry,” he almost begged, not sure when he the next pain was going to hit and nervous about it. Was this really it? His pup was coming? It felt so sudden now. “Let’s confirm everything is happening first okay? It’s supposed to take a wild and I don’t want to wake everyone up,” he told his mate as he headed to the living room slowly. He didn’t like that they were leaving the house, it felt wrong. He needed to stay in his nest that he had built specifically for this but the hospital would be safer.
Dabi kissed Hawks on the cheek, trailing Hawks into the living room. “Whatever you say, birdie. You did such a good job on the nest, birdie, and I wish it could be where we have him, but I know you both need doctors. We can scent your hospital bed though once we’re there,” he promised, putting on his shoes. He held out his hand in front of the portal, waiting to lead Hawks through it.
Hawks listened to Dabi as they headed into the living room where the portal was waiting. “Okay…I just…do we have everything? Are we ready?” He asked slightly frazzled from everything moving so suddenly. He hesitantly took Dabis hand, nervous to leave the house.
Dabi kissed Hawks on the cheek. “Your phone, his baby blanket you made, my phone, our fake ids and money. Clothes for both of us, Patch, clothes for Hiroto in a couple sizes depending on how big he is, his lil kitty hat, phone chargers. Toothbrush and toiletries for both of us since we don’t know how long this’ll take. The nipple cream in case your milk comes in while we’re there and two bottles and some formula in case it doesn’t. There’s a lil card and present for you too. I just need to grab his lil carseat carrier and we’re good to go,” he explained, proud of the excellent job he’d done prepping. He picked up the carrier waiting by the door before stepping through the portal.
Hawks listened to Dabi list off everything he had packed. That seemed right, everything seemed to be covered. “Okay, let’s do it then,” he said as he shifted around uncomfortably. The hero looked around as they came out in front of the hospital. This would be easy…he just needed to stay calm and it would be over soon and he would have his pup. “Ah, hold on,” he told the arson as he gripped his hand tightly and held his stomach in the other. He didn’t understand how he could be perfectly fine then hunched over in pain the next. He thought it would be more consistent
Dabi whined, stopping in his tracks. He let go of Hawks’ hand to rub his mate’s back, letting his hand warm up a little bit in hopes it would help with the pain. “It’ll be okay, birdie. Deep breaths,” he said soothingly. They’d be fine. Hiroto was gonna be here soon, a little bundle of itty bitty wings and love and this would all be worth it. “You want me to go get a wheelchair or something?”
Hawks relaxed a little feeling Dabi rub his back as he took deep breaths until the pain died down again. He shook his head slowly. “I can make it inside, then we can get one,” he assured the arson as he straightened up slightly. “Okay, I’m good,” he assured him as he started to slowly walk again. He really just wanted to lay down but he also wanted to pace, he just felt completely uncomfortable.
Dabi nodded, leading Hawks into the hospital. They’d be fine and soon they’d have their little boy to love and cuddle in real life. As soon as the front desk was in sight he ran up to the desk. “My mate’s having contractions, uh, how far apart?” he asked Hawks, wishing he’d thought to ask before now.
Hawks walked with Dabi before looking up when he went ahead to the front desk. He shook his head slightly. “Um, maybe six minutes,” he told his mate. He probably should have been keeping better track of them but that seemed right. “Hm, that’s not quite active labor yet,” the woman said as she started to look through her computer. “We do have some empty rooms though. I can go ahead and get you into one and get you looked over,” she assured the two before waving over another nurse as they came with a wheelchair. Thank God. He didn’t want to turn back now.
Dabi sighed in relief, nodding. They still had time to get the room ready and call his mom and shit. Hiroto was gonna be here! God, he hoped the little guy looked like Hawks. He helped his mate settle into the wheelchair and then followed the nurses up to their room.
Hawks relaxed when he sat down before looking around as they were taken up a few floors to the maternity wing. He was extremely relieved Dabi was here. He hated to admit it but this was a bit overwhelming and scary. “Here we go. We have gown for you and some slippers,” the nurse assured him as he set the items on the bed. “I’ll give you some time to change and be back to check your status,” he assured the couple before closing the door as he left. The hero nodded slightly before looking at Dabi as he slowly got up from the chair. “Can you help me change?” He asked sheepishly, just wanting to get somewhat comfortable again.
Dabi nodded, setting down their stuff and heading over to Hawks. “Yeah, baby, no worries. That’s what I’m here for. You want your present now or once the baby’s here?” he asked, helping Hawks into his hospital gown. “This is gonna sound stupid, but you even look hot in that stupid robe. I’m so excited you’re having my pup, birdie. Our little boy’s gonna be here soon!” he cheered excitedly.
Hawks hummed softly as Dabi helped him change out of his clothes and into the hospital robe. “I don’t know. If it’s something for the labor or hospital I can now but if it’s something else I will later, I’m a little overwhelmed right now,” he admitted as he sat down on the edge of the bed and stretched his wings out. He wasn’t sure why his back was even sore. The hero snorted softly hearing Dabi. “Well if you want any last-minute reminders, take your pictures now,” he said amused before hissing lowly and holding his stomach feeling another contraction hit him. He hoped this didn’t take hours like it could, he couldn’t do this forever.
Dabi snickered, grabbing his phone and taking a selfie of the two of them. “It’s for home,” he admitted. “Something I saw that reminded me of you. Any last minute bets on what color his wings are? I’ve decided on red, finally. I like yours so much, and I really want a mini-Hawks,” he teased, unpacking their bag as best he could. “Promise if you break my hand you’ll kiss it better once you’re done giving birth to him?”
Hawks panted softly as his body relaxed again as he sat into the bed correctly and reclined back slightly. It was so hot in here…”That’s sweet. I’ll open it after,” he assured his mate before flashing a peace sign for the picture. “I think I’m going to hope for white. I think it will be cuter,” he teased back softly as he rubbed his stomach. “I don’t mind a mini Hawks but I want him to look like you too, at least a little,” he complained softly. “Mm we will see, you might deserve it depending on how bad this hurts,” he told the villain tiredly.
Dabi pouted, pulling his chair up to get as close to Hawks as possible. He kissed his mate on the cheek, overwhelmed with affection. “Well, if he doesn’t, there’s always the next kid,” he teased. “I wonder if we’ll get a kid without wings. That’ll suck for them,” he realized, pout a little deeper. “Sorry I knocked you up on our first go. We should have gotten to have waaaaay more sex first. Like so much sex. We’re not telling Hiroto we made him in a fucking industrial area, are we?”
Hawks watched Dabi scoot over to him as he got close and kissed his cheek again. He would complain but the attention felt good right now. “Yeah true,” he agreed with a small smile before humming. “It’s possible. If he gets fire though he could still fly, just a bit different,” he pointed out. He didn’t want to mention he could do it like Endeavor does. “And maybe he could do that slide thing in the air like Geten and Shoto if he has ice,” he added warmly. He was sure no matter what his pups would be able to keep up. The blonde looked at Dabi hearing him before smiling softly, it seems like that was so long ago now. “It’s okay. We are figuring it out, we can tell him a..edited version…and you’re right…I don’t know what would have happened if you didn’t. I like to think I wouldn’t have done something awful, but I really don’t know,” he whispered softly, a bit horrified how things could have turned out.
Dabi sighed, grabbing Hawks’ hand and squeezing it tightly. “Yeah. I’m glad to not be in prison. And that none of us are dead, except Magne, but that’s not on you,” he said with a sigh. “I’m just glad we got you away from the commission, and that they’re never gonna touch Hiroto. I know it’s been… bad sometimes. And weird with my dad. And that I’m a jackass, but I like being with you. You’re my mate, and I’m excited to be lame and married and happy with you and Hiroto,” he reassured the omega.
Hawks smiled weakly to Dabi. He was glad he wasn’t in jail too or dead. It would have destroyed him to have to do that to him. “Me too,” he agreed as he squeezed Dabis hand back firmly. “I like being with you too Dabi…your everything to me and I need you,” he told the villain with a thoughtful look. He was feeling a lot of emotions, sadness but joy. He just needed him in his life, he would be lost without him.
Dabi nodded. It still stung to know Hawks had been trying to betray him that first time, but he’d made his choice and it was being with Dabi. He wasn’t dead and his future was probably gonna be fine. “I need you too. We’re a team. I love you so much, birdie,” he cooed, kissing Hawks on the forehead and cuddling up as best he could.
Hawks relaxed a little hearing Dabi as he nodded and cuddled back against the arson slightly. He looked at the door hearing a knock as the nurse came back in. “Hello. Let me get some information and then some test before the doctor gets here to check you out,” they explained as Hawks nodded slightly as he sat up in the bed, keeping a hold of Dabi’s hand. He answered the questions for the nurse before letting them check him over between contractions. “Blood pressure is still looking high. We will keep an eye on that,” he assured them as he finished up. “The doctor will be in shortly. Do you need anything? Water? Ice?” He asked the blonde. “Yes, that sounds great,” Hawks agreed, he would love a drink and ice.
Dabi kissed Hawks on the cheek, humming happily. “Do we know how long until the baby’s really coming? I wanna let my mom know when she’s about to be a grandma,” he explained. “But y’know, before he’s pushing and stuff. I gotta be here for that.”
The nurse laughed softly hearing Dabi. “Yes, the doctor will be able to give you a better idea once he sees how dilated he is. Things won’t get really going until his water breaks,” he explained. It seemed like they would be here for a bit. “Thank you,” the omega told the nurse as he nodded and stepped out of the room. Hopefully things got moving fast. “Can’t believe he decided to come in the middle of the night,” he said tiredly.
Dabi rolled his eyes. “I can. We’re both pretty rude. Your whole image was pretty playful bad boy, and I’m a serial arsonist. Even if he’s a good kid, he’s gonna be an asshole. Look at Shoto,” he pointed out. “I’m gonna call my mom now just because I don’t want to deal with her once this gets really stressful,” he explained, pulling out his phone. The sooner she was dealt with the better.
Hawks snorted softly hearing Dabi as he rubbed his stomach. “His gonna be a little rude pup huh?” He said amused before nodding slightly. “Yeah okay. Just don’t take too long,” he said worried, wanting him at his side when the doctor came in.
Dabi nodded, dialing his mom’s number and stepping into the en suite bathroom. At least Hiroto was coming before Yuki, he knew it would be a problem if that hadn’t worked out.
Rei groaned softly hearing her phone going off before lifted up as she yawned. The woman perked up seeing it was her son calling. “Toya. Are you okay?” She asked surprised and worried, it was pretty early so she figured it was something important
Dabi laughed softly, shaking his head. “Yeah, mom. I’m totally good. But Hawks and I are at the hospital, his contractions are like five, six minutes apart. Figured I’d let you know, grandma,” he teased happily. “I’ll call you after too, but I figure he’s gonna need me during so don’t expect a ton of updates.”
Rei rubbed her face tiredly as she listened to her son update her on the situation. The woman lit up as she smiled brightly. “Really!? How exciting,” he squealed happily. “Yes please, update me as soon as you can. Send pictures,” she told her pup happily, glad that she should have a grandson by the end of the day.
Dabi laughed again. “You got it, mom. Don’t worry, he’s got a model for an oma, he’s gonna be born photogenic,” he said fondly. “Love you, mom. And I miss you. Will you tell Natsu and Fuyumi and Shoto? Hawks is really freaking and I don’t wanna leave him alone any longer than I have to,” he explained.
Rei laughed softly at her sons humor. “Of course. I love you too dear. I’m so happy for you,” she cooed warmly. “I will let them all know. Go be with him. Just let us know when you can,” she assured him, not wanting to stress them out anymore than they must be.
Dabi sighed, happy his mom was being more normal and supportive than crazy today. “You got it, mom. Love you,” he repeated before hanging up and returning to Hawks’ side, seeing he had a cup of water and bucket of ice now. “She’s gonna tell my siblings, so now I’m all yours until we have to share each other with our little guy,” he cooed, patting Hiroto. “Your brother still won’t kick for me,” he told the pup, sighing. “But you love your daddy, don’t you? You better.”
Hawks looked up when Dabi returned before relaxing when he returned to his side. “Okay good,” he said relieved as he watched him pat his swollen stomach. “Really? I’m surprised, Shigaraki is pretty far along,” he said unsure as he sucked on an ice cube. His baby should be moving around more. “Is he kicking at all?” He asked worried.
Dabi sighed, nodding. “Yeah. He wasn’t for a little bit, because of the low fluid, but now he is but just not for me. He probably doesn’t know or trust my voice the way Hiroto does, because he kicks for Tomura and Eri,” he explained. “It’s fine, he’ll probably learn to love me. Or not, but there’s worse things. He’s gonna love his mom and sister, and hopefully Hiroto.”
Hawks relaxed a little hearing him. “I’m sure everything will be fine when his born. His just a baby don’t be too hard on him,” he told his mate as he patted his shoulder before gripping it and whining loudly feeling another wave of pain. He hated how intense these contracts were, he was just glad he had some time to recover between them.
Dabi sighed. “I fucking hope so. I love them both so much already. I keep picturing them, lil blond guy with wings and a little white-haired guy with Tomura’s mole all cuddled up like kittens in a basket or something. They’re gonna be so stinking cute,” he cooed, wincing as he was gripped. He offered his mate both of his hands to squeeze.
Hawks tried to listen to Dabis cute thoughts as he breath though the pain. He kept a grip on Dabi’s shoulder but did take one of his hands as he trembled heavily before jolting slightly. “Ah! Crap, I think my water broke,” he told the villain feeling water under him.
Dabi winced, squeezing Hawks. This was so fucking sudden “Can we get a fucking doctor in here or something?” he shouted, panicked but still calmer than he’d thought he’d be. “My mate’s water broke!!” he shouted, annoyed they weren’t getting immediate help.
Hawks panted softly as he watched Dabi panic slightly. “Relax babe, relax, that doesn’t mean his coming any faster,” he assured him, not needing him to panic more than he was. He looked up as the nurse hurried over to them. “I can get these blankets changed and I’ll let the doctor know right away,” he assured them before starting to pull the blanket from under him as he lifted up. Hawks blushed deeply as he nodded, this was so embarrassing.
Dabi patted Hawks’ hands, giving him what he hoped was a reassuring smile. “You’re doing fucking awesome, birdie. Best oma ever. Hiroto’s so excited to meet you,” he praised, kissing his mate on the cheek. “Thanks for keeping him and for telling me. Knocking you up is the best thing to ever happen to me,” he cooed, hoping the sweetness would be distracting.
Hawks listened to Dabi as he was praised and thanked for doing all of this. “I want to meet him,” he agreed in a slightly desperate tone. He just wanted to get through this and have his reward. “Hello. It’s good to see you two again. Little one eager to get here huh?” The doctor asked as he came inside and put his glasses on as the nurse came in behind with more ice, water and a new blanket for him. “37 weeks shouldn’t be a problem. I’m sure were expecting a healthy pup,” he assured the two as he looked through the paperwork on his clip board
Dabi sighed in relief, smiling slightly at the doctor. “Yeah, no, he’s ready to be cuddled. How dilated is he?” he asked, despite the doctor not even having checked yet. “We’re going with Himura, right?” he double checked. “The world doesn’t need more Todorokis.”
Hawks felt a bit better now that the doctor was here and didn’t seem panicked like they were. “Let’s check,” he told the two as he pulled out the foot grips for the omega. “Put your feet up here and I will take a look,” he told Hawks as the blonde groaned softly, he hated this. The hero slowly put his feet up. “Yeah Himura sounds good,” he agreed with his mate as the doctor started to check him over.
Dabi sighed in relief, staring the doctor down. He knew it was needed but it felt weird having some dude all up in Hawks’ business. “Himura Hiroto. It’s adorable…” he sighed happily. “I get to do the cord and whatever, right?” he asked eagerly.
Hawks grunted softly in discomfort as he was examined before relaxing when the doctor pulled back and had him lower his feet again. “Yes of course,” the doctor assured him as he pulled his gloves off. “Your dilated to a seven. We don’t expect any pushing until you’re at a ten and your contractions are closer together. You have some time. I suggest you get some rest. Did you want the epidural?” He asked the omega. They probably had a few hours. Hawks hummed softly before looking at Dabi. He wasn’t exactly planning on taking the medication but damn this was already hurting pretty bad. He could manage but it would help. “What do you think? Did your mom get it?” He asked a little unsure about it.
Dabi shrugged. “No fucking clue. My dad would have been weird about it either way. The pain seems insane and I’m here to make sure nothing happens to either of you even if you’re loopy. I mean, I figure the pain is gonna fuck your brain up too, so do you wanna be pain-loopy or drug-loopy?” he asked, willing to support either way. “I just want you to do what’s best for you birdie.”
Hawks listened to Dabi before nodding slightly in agreement. “Yeah that true…I think I want to take it,” he told the doctor. He really didn’t want to be in extreme pain this whole time. And maybe he could get some sleep this way. “Of course. We will get it set up and be back soon. We will have to have you step out of the room while we put the epidural in but it will only take a minute,” the doctor explained to Dabi.
Dabi whined unhappily but nodded. “Be really fucking careful with him. If you hurt either of them I will be burning this hospital down with you inside it,” he informed the doctor, giving Hawks a kiss on the forehead before stepping outside. He texted his mom the selfie of him and Hawks, taking a deep breath.
Hawks whined softly hearing them say Dabi had to step out for them to get the epidural in. He watched the arson leave as the doctor and nurse started to set the machine up. They helped him up and leaned him over to put the needle in his back. Honestly it felt almost as bad as the contractions. The two helped him get comfortable in the bed again and set up before letting Dabi back in. He could feel the medication start to hit him as he grabbed an ice cube to suck on. He already felt more tired and relaxed.
Dabi sighed seeing Hawks was totally fine, if a little tired. “Good drugs?” he asked, snuggling up to Hawks again and offering his hands. “I hope he’s one of those chubby pups with round little faces and toes. I wanna kiss his tummy,” he cooed, already psyched for their baby.
Hawks smiled as he watched Dabi come over and join him again as he nodded slowly. They were pretty good. He could still feel some light pains, but it was so much better now. “Mm me too,” he agreed happily. “I suggest you both get some rest while you still can. I’ll be in every so often to check his progress,” the doctor told the two before stepping out. Hawks yawned softly before looking at Dabi. “I think I am going to nap,” he mumbled softly.
Dabi nodded, yawning quietly and resting his head on Hawks’ shoulder. “I’ll probably nap too, birdie. Just wake me up again once you get closer. You still wanna wait on your present?” he asked.
Hawks nodded slowly in agreement as he closed his eyes and nuzzled up to the arson lightly. “I will. Yeah I wanna wait,” he assured him. He was too tired and out of it right now to open it right now. “Night,” he told his mate softly as he drifted to sleep.
Dabi passed out pretty quickly, already exhausted before the emotional rush of their pup coming. In just a few hours he was gonna have a little winged guy to hold and cuddle and love. He and Hawks were gonna be parents, finally, and everything was gonna be perfect.
Hawks slept hard for a few hours, getting checked out a few more times as nurses and doctors came in and out of the room. It didn’t bother him much since he was able to easily pass out again. The hero looked around tiredly we he was woke up again but the doctor seemed to be staying and calling for the nurses to do more. It was getting a bit harder to sleep through the heavier contractions anyways. Hawks gripped Dabis wrist as he started to wake up more, his head was more clear now from the medication. “You’re fully dilated. You will probably feel the need to start pushing soon. We are just getting everything ready for you,” the doctor assured him as he relaxed back slightly. He didn’t really feel that yet, just a numbing pain in his lower stomach and legs.
Dabi yawned again, barely believing they were in the hospital as he woke up. Hawks was gonna start pushing, which meant basically that Hiroto was here. He grinned excitedly, kissing Hawks on the forehead. “You got this, Keigo,” he cooed, squeezing his mate’s hands. “He’s ready to meet his oma,” Dabi continued, giving another kiss. It was probably important to just be sweet right now.
Hawks looked at Dabi when he was kissed on and held onto. He didn’t realize how long this whole process took. The sun already seemed to be up in the sky. “Yeah, his coming soon,” he agreed a bit nervous as he gripped Dabi’s hand and took a sip of his water. He wasn’t ready for this, but it didn’t take too long before he started to feel the pressure the doctor was taking about as he let out a low groan. “Are you started to feel pressure?” The nurse said as he seemed to be watching his heart rate. “Yes. Yeah it hurts,” he admitted. “That’s natural. You’re just going to start pushing with those contractions,” the doctor assured him as he placed a thing of plastic under the omega to catch the water and after birth.
Dabi modeled the breathing that Hawks was supposed to be doing, kissing Hawks again on the cheek. “You got this. If you can fight giants you can definitely give birth,” he praised, hoping he was doing this right. He felt pretty useless frankly, but if he could make Hawks feel better that was something.
Hawks looked at Dabi hearing him before slowly starting to copy the breathing he was doing. This was a bit different than fighting but he was right, he could do this, it was natural. The omega continued to whine and squirm slightly in the bed as he tried to keep up with his breath as he pushed with the pressure. It felt like this was taking hours. He wanted to hurry and get this pup out of him. “Fuck Dabi,” he complained loudly as he kept a tight grip on the alphas hand, refusing to let go no matter how long this was going to take. “You’re getting really close. Just a few more big pushes and we should have the head,” the doctor encouraged. That was some good news at least.
Dabi beamed, though his hand was fucking killing him. Hawks was doing awesome and Hiroto was practically here. He just knew his little guy would have the cutest blond hair, just like his oma, and that they’d be adorable together in every photo he took of the two of them. “I know, I know. It’s awful, but it’s for Hiroto. You’ve already done so much for him, now you just gotta keep pushing.”
Hawks groaned loudly as he watched Dabi and gave him a firm nod. He was almost done, he just had to push through this last bit. He started to push as hard as he could as he yelled out. The harder he pushed the worst it felt but the doctor kept on encouraging him to keep going. “I have the head, just one more big push, your almost done,” the doctor assured him as he panted heavily before screaming loudly in pain as he pushed as hard as he could. The blonde dropped back against the bed when the pain dropped considerably, and his head went fuzzy as a weak cry started to fill the room. His chest warmed instantly, that was his pup, he was here and he needed him.
Dabi kissed Hawks quickly on the forehead before dropping his hand. “I’m just gonna go take care of him,” he explained, running to Hiroto, a little startled by the shock of red hair on the pup’s head. Aside from the wings and the skin tone being a bit closer to Hawks’ than his, and the fact Hiroto was a normal size, he looked almost exactly like Dabi had as a pup. The hair was… disappointing, but it wasn’t enough to bug him, not when his pup was here and screaming for his oma. Dabi watched nervously as the doctor held his pup, waiting to cut the cord. He just wanted to hold the baby for a moment before handing him off to Hawks. “He’s beautiful, birdie,” he called to Hawks, overwhelmed by how small Hiroto was. His wings looked so silly and useless.
Hawks nodded weakly to Dabi as he let his hand go so he could go see their pup and make sure they were taking care of him. “Just cut right here, then we will wrap him up for you,” the nurse encouraged Dabi as the doctor held the pup up for him to cut the cord. He wanted to see him. He sounded so upset and scared with his little cries of distress. Hawks had a hard time he could only imagine how his baby felt.
Dabi nervously cut the cord, relieved when everything seemed totally fine and the nurse started cleaning Hiroto off and wrapping him up. “They’re doing a great job with him, birdie, he’s just nervous without you,” he assured his mate. “He’s got your wings,” he cooed, excited for the tiny red feathers he knew would be scattered all over the apartment. “And your eyes, I think, he’s mostly keeping them closed. He looks so much like both of us,” he cooed, holding his arms out for the crying pup.
Hawks perked up a little hearing Dabi explained the pup to him as the doctor started to clean him up and work on him. “Really? Are they red?” He asked softly as he tried to clear his head again. He wanted to see the baby so bad. He could see the nurse bring Dabi a bundle in a light blue blanket and set it carefully in his arms.
Dabi cooed, holding his pup close to his chest so the pup could hear his heartbeat. “Yeah, maybe a little darker,” he said, tone soft and sweet. “But definitely red.”
He kissed the squalling infant on the forehead, taking in what he could smell of his tiny baby scent. Hiroto was perfect, even if his hair was awful. “You wanna see your oma?” he cooed, taking Hiroto to Hawks. He wanted to hold him more but could see Hawks was getting anxious.
Hawks watched intently as Dabi held the pup and kissed his head. His cries were making him anxious, he really wanted to make sure he was okay. The hero relaxed when Dabi brought him over him as he held out his arms eagerly. “He sounds so upset,” he said worried. He knew it was good for babies to cry but he didn’t think it would be so heart breaking.
Dabi nodded, giving a big huff as he watched Hawks cling to their pup. “He’s just nervous. It’s his first time outside in the world. You, uh, see his hair?” he asked, not sure how to process the color. “Also, can I take a photo for everyone?” he asked, already missing the baby’s soft body in his arms.
Hawks cradled the pup quickly as he held him against his chest. The pups crying seemed to start quiet down the loud whimpers instead. “Yes. Red. I wasn’t expecting that,” he admitted a little worried Dabi was going to take issue with that. He really didn’t need more comments on how the pup wasn’t his. He let the pup grip his finger as he looked up at Dabi. “Yeah, just don’t get anything gross please,” he begged the arson. His lower body didn’t need any pictures right now. His upper part probably didn’t look amazing either but the pup would make up for it.
Dabi nodded, taking a really adorable photo of Hawks beaming down at their baby. “He looks a lot like I did as a baby,” he pointed out, sending the photo to his family and the League before putting his phone away. “Hey baby boy,” he cooed, hoping Hiroto liked him. He offered his finger for the pup to grab with his other hand if he wanted.
Hawks relaxed hearing Dabi as he smiled. “Yeah he kind of does,” he agreed as he watched the pup scrunch and unscrunch his face, making soft noises as he tried to figure himself out. He was so beautiful~ The blonde watched Hiroto wrap his little fist around Dabi’s finger as he settled down more in his arm, pressed his face against the hero’s chest slightly either for the warmth or scent.
Dabi awwed softly, eyes filling with his bloody tears as his pup held him. “He’s so smart, look at him figuring shit out,” he cooed. “He’s so itty bitty. How much did he weigh?” he asked the nurses.
Hawks laughed softly as he watched Dabi warmly. His chest was too warm and full of love to feel anything else at the moment. “I love him so much,” the hero said affectionately as he brushed his fingers through the wisps of red hair on the pups head. “Seven pounds and two ounces,” the nurse provided helpfully.
Dabi pulled his phone out, texting both group chats the pup’s weight and taking a zoomed in photo of Hiroto’s scrunched up little face. “I love both of you so much,” he agreed, glad that Hiroto didn’t seem to mind the warmth of his finger. “Once you let go, lil man, I’m gonna go get your new best friend and your stylish lil hat,” he informed the infant.
Hawks smiled hearing the weight. That sounded like a good size. He felt so light in his arms. He watched Dabi take some more pictures as his phone started to ding with messages. He was sure everyone wanted to talk to him and see what was going on. “Mm he might not ever let go, looks like his try to get comfortable enough to sleep,” he said amused. Dabi might be stuck there for a while if Hiroto had his way.
Dabi laughed quietly and sat down, not minding in the least if Hiroto kept him captive. “Well, if he’s sleepy then I better settle in,” he cooed. “Look at his little bitty face. He’s fucking perfect. I guess he’s probably gonna be okay with my flames, huh, if his hair means anything.”
Hawks smiled brightly at Dabi. He was feeling a lot better than he had in a long time. He felt pretty good with his pup in his arms. The hero chuckled softly as he gently traced the infants lips as he moved them like he was sucking on something. “Either that or his looking for food,” he reasoned amused before nodding. “Yeah maybe, he probably has a fire quirk,” he said amazed. His pup would be so strong…but he was hoping for something else, something where the commission wouldn’t go after him so hard. This was exactly what the Commission and Endeavor wanted.
Dabi hummed, looking down at Hawks’ chest. “Are you just supposed to put him on your boob?” he asked, not sure how nursing was supposed to start. “God he’s smart. I love him so fucking much already,” he said softly.
Hawks blushed deeply hearing Dabi. “I don’t know,” he said embarrassed. “I can help you get adjusted if you want to try feeding him,” the nurse offered as he came over. The hero hummed before nodding lightly. “Yeah that would be great,” he agreed as the nurse picked up the infant slightly and turned him more onto his side. He didnt love how they seemed to man handle the pup but Hiroto didn’t seem to bothered by it as he latched onto his chest, releasing Dabis finger in favor of holding onto his chest as he nursed. Hawks grunted softly at the feeling. It was really weird but comforting in a way. “Wow he did that really fast,” he had impressed. “That’s a good sign. He looks extremely healthy,” the nurse complimented.
Dabi cooed and awwed, taking a photo of Hiroto nursing just for the three of them. Now that he was free, he went and grabbed Patch and the kitten hat, placing them beside Hawks. “God, he just knows you’re his oma and loves you already,” Dabi marveled.
Hawks blushed when Dabi took a picture of him and the pup. It was embarrassing but he would want that for later he was sure. He was so happy they got to do this on a hospital and not in some warehouse on the run. That would have been horrific alone and scared. “His a smart little guy,” he praised as he pulled the blanket down on his back to look at his little wings. So far they were just the empty base with fuzzy red feather covering them that matched his hair. He wondered how long it would take for his feathers to grow in. “They are so little,” he cooed warmly as he rubbed the little wing gently. It was so soft.
Dabi reached out to pet the fuzzy wing, heart melting. It looked ugly-cute the way most little birds did when they hatched. “I can’t believe yours were that small once. They’re like the biggest thing about you,” he pointed out before returning to the bag, pulling out a small stuffed Japanese Sparrowhawk that made the bird’s cries when squeezed. “It’s dumb, but I thought the two of you might like that it does the bird sounds. Something for you to practice with until he squawks or whatever,” he said happily, placing the toy beside Patch.
Hawks watched the pup lovingly as he made a few soft noises, gripping at his skin with his little hand. “I know. It’s hard to believe,” he said amazed before yawning softly and nuzzling into his pillows. The doctor seemed done as the team focused on cleaning the room up. “Mm it’s cute. Was that the present?” He asked curiously as he patted the baby’s back gently.
Dabi nodded, a little worried it had been a terrible present. “Yeah, I mean, I wanna get like flowers and shit too, but I don’t wanna leave you alone so I was gonna pay Geten to bring some when he visits,” he admitted. “Sorry if it sucks. I just like that you get to be yourself now and not like whatever the commission forces you to be. Did you see he has bitty talons instead of nails?” he asked.
Hawks smiled softly hearing Dabi. “I love it Dabi relax. I’m just glad you’re here,” he said warmly. He wouldn’t have wanted anyone else here but him. He couldn’t imagine how embarrassing this would be with Enji instead. “Thank you,” he cooed softly as he looked over the toy before nodding as he looked down at his pup’s hand gripping at his chest. “Yes, they are so little. I’m glad they are short,” he said amused.
Dabi nodded, wishing he could climb into the hospital bed with them. They needed to get home as soon as possible, he wanted to guard them in the nest, not this stupid room. “Yeah, me too. We’ll send Spinner a photo of his lil hand to ask about maintaining them, how could he say no to a hand so small?” Dabi wondered. “I know I already said this, but thanks for fighting for him and for us. It would have been a lot easier for you to just get the abortion and send me to prison or kill me or whatever, but this is perfect. He’s perfect.”
Hawks laughed softly as he stroked the pups hand gently. “Yeah I bet he will have an idea,” he cooed warmly as he continued to look over the pup. He was hard to take his attention off of him for very long. The blonde looked up at Dabi hearing him before smiling, “It was the best thing I ever did,” he told the villian before kissing his pups head gently. “But we still have to be careful. His perfect…and I know the commission and Endeavor isn’t going to stop now,” the omega said worried. He wasn’t going to let anyone take his baby from him.
Dabi nodded, petting Hiroto’s soft hair. It looked terrible, if he was honest, but it was so soft and Hiroto was so otherwise perfect he still couldn’t find it in him to be mad about it. “I’m not gonna let anyone hurt our pup, birdie. He’s ours,” he assured his mate. “I want to hold you both so bad. Stupid small hospital bed,” he complained. He hadn’t even gotten to scent his baby yet.
Hawks let Dabi pet the pups head. It felt like the baby was just sleeping against him at this point instead of eating. “I know. I want you to be up here too,” he agreed tiredly. “You’re all fixed up now but you’re going to be sore. You should rest the rest of the day and we can look at the both of you tomorrow to see if you’re ready to go home,” the doctor explained. “You’re free to eat and anything you need to do. The nurse here is going to take him for just a second to get him looked over and get a diaper on. If you have an outfit you want him in she can put that on for you. And lastly, I just need you to fill this out for the birth certificate,” he continued before offering a clip board to Dabi to go over. Hawks frowned at the idea of passing his pup off but carefully lifted the baby up over to the woman waiting for him.
Dabi pulled out both outfits, not sure which would fit best and grabbed Hiroto’s kitten hat, handing them to the nurse while he balanced the clipboard on his hip. “Be careful of his little wings,” he warned the nurse, sitting down to fill out the paperwork. “He’s just ours to take home now, basically,” he marveled, hurrying through the paperwork so he could return his attention to Hawks, knowing the omega was gonna be stressed without the pup to hold. “When they bring him back, can we facetime my mom?” he asked, wanting to show the baby off to literally the whole world.
Hawks watched her take the outfit before moving to the other side of the room to take care of what she needed to with the baby. He fixed his shirt before sinking back into the bed, pushing his damp hair back to try and make it look a little better. “Yeah you can. Not for a long time though. I’m pretty tired,” he warned the arson. He was not in the mood to be scolded by his mom right now and wanted to keep this short until he has more energy to deal with it.
Dabi nodded, biting back another yawn. Leave it to Hiroto to come at the ass crack of dawn. “He’s got a lot of both of us, you must be pretty happy he looks like me, I know you were hoping for that,” he said casually.
Hawks listened to Dabi before laughing softly hearing the arson as he nodded. “Yes I am. He looked like me too though. His better than I could have imagine him,” he said delighted. His pup was the cutest thing his ever seen in his life. He did wish Hiroto didn’t have Enji’s hair color but he knew it was just Dabi’s genetics. He would been perfect if they had decided to stay with the Todoroki’s.
Dabi sighed, giving Hawks a soft squeeze. “I know he’s mine. I can just… tell, you know. I feel weird about his hair, but I know it’s just my lousy genes, and if I loved him any more than I already do I think I’d burst,” he reassured the omega, not wanting Hawks to doubt his feelings. “I’ll get used to it. Eventually it’ll be Hiroto’s hair color to me, not my dad’s.”
Hawks smiled at Dabi hearing him, glad he wasn’t listening to the others. This was his pup and he didn’t want Dabi to think any different. “I know. It’s not great but it’s his and his perfect,” he told his mate before beaming at him. He was a little nervous this would lead to a fight and he really didn’t want to argue around this. “I love you,” he cooed to the alpha as he kiss the villains lips softly as he leaned over to him.
Dabi shrugged. “He’s got everything else going for him, wouldn’t be fair to every other pup in the world if his hair was exactly what we wanted,” he teased, returning the kiss from Hawks. “I love you so fucking much, Hawks. Thank you for being my mate.”
Hawks pressed his forehead against Dabi’s hearing him. “Mm that’s fair. How unfair would be if he got your blue flames and my wings? Hopefully his a little cooler than you are,” he teased softly, hoping the pup’s firepower was a little less than his dads or he could cause some real damage.
Dabi whistled, shaking his head. “God I hope so. Did he feel… warm or anything to you?” he asked, curious if Hawks had noticed anything, though he hoped and suspected they still had at least a few months.
Hawks hummed softly hearing Dabi. “No not really, but to be fair I have been burning up forever now,” he told the arson. Everything had been way too hot for him. It felt like they had been in the middle of summer for months. He actually felt a lot better now.
Dabi snorted. “Maybe that was him. He felt normal to me, but that probably means he’s hot to everyone else,” he reasoned, curious as to their pup’s body temp. He really hoped Hiroto didn’t get blueflame.
Hawks laughed softly. “Yeah maybe. I figured it was a pregnancy thing. Has Shigaraki been hot too?” He asked curiously. He wasn’t sure if his pups quirk was what was overheating him or the pregnancy.
Dabi shook his head, laughing. “Uh, no, he’s been super cold, actually. Which…. If we’re following that line of logic… huh. I guess I got an ice baby on the way too. Geten’s gonna be psyched. I was just worried he was gonna have something like decay. We already got him little gloves and shit though, don’t worry,” he comforted Hawks.
Hawks tilted his head slightly as he laughed softly. “Wow I didn’t know quirks had much affect on the parent. Maybe just temperature based,” he wondered, pretty interested in the idea of it. It could just be a coincidence though. The blonde lifted his head quickly heading Hiroto start to cry again as the nurse dressed him. “His alright. Probably just needs to be burped,” the nurse assured him seeing his attention turn to them.
Dabi held his arms out for the pup, wanting to give burping a try. The last time he’d actively done it was with Natsu but as awful as he’d been to baby Shoto he’d been awesome to baby Natsuo. He carefully positioned his son over his shoulder, gently bouncing the baby and giving him a few soft taps while being mindful of his wings. It seemed to do the trick as Hiroto made a soft hiccupy noise and settled down. Pleased with himself, Dabi kissed the pup on the forehead before handing him back to Hawks for more cuddling. “What’s his body temp, nurse?” Dabi asked curiously.
Hawks watched the nurse bring their fussing pup back over to Dabi so he could burp the poor baby. Pups were so helpless it almost scared him. He relaxed when the arson got the trick done and Hiroto started to calm down again. The blonde smiled brightly as he took the pup back and laid him against his shoulder to cuddle. He couldn’t believe this little guy was in him not an hour ago…it seemed unreal. “Little warm but still good. Everything looked great. Before we have you released when need to make sure his using the bathroom correctly so please alert us when he gets a dirty diaper. Other than that, I will let you rest,” she told the couple warmly before taking her leave.
Dabi gave Hiroto a tiny boop on his bitty nose, smiling fondly at the baby. “He’s pretty easy so far. You should have heard how much Natsu complained about everything. He’s nice and calm like Shoto and Fuyumi were. And he definitely seems to recognize us, you see how even when he fusses for us it’s different than how he was acting with the nurse?” Dabi gushed.
Hawks smiled as Dabi poked the pups nose as he curled into his shoulder and seemed to have found his fist to suck on. “He definitely seems a lot calmer around us. It’s amazing his able to recognize us,” he said delighted as he nuzzled his cheek into the pup’s hair. “I hope he stays all sweet,” he said amused, taking a quick sip of water. “You think…you think your mom is gonna freak seeing his hair?” He asked worried.
Dabi shrugged. “Pull his hat over it if you’re that worried, but she’s already seen the photos of him. He’s got your eyes, thankfully, she’s weirder about my dad’s eyes,” he explained, thinking of Shoto’s face. “Told you all the talking to him would help. It makes pup smarter if you talk and play music and stuff. He’s gonna be a little bitty genius,” Dabi cooed, incapable of being a tough asshole around the baby. “If she’s weird, I will hang up,” he promised, dialing his mom’s number for a FaceTime.
Hawks listened to Dabi before slowly nodding and grabbing the little cat hat to make sure it was snug on his little head. They would know it was because of Dabi’s hair. “Yeah it really did seem to work,” he cooed as he gently brushed the pup’s cheek as Dabi called his mom. “Toya!” He heard Rei call from the phone. “Oh his so beautiful. I have been looking at the pictures. Fuyumi is going to help me frame one,” she rambled slightly from the villain’s phone.
Dabi laughed brightly, nodding along to his mom’s gushing. “Isn’t he adorable? You can’t see super well in the photos, but he’s got Hawks’ eyes, and he definitely recognizes both of us which is adorable,” he cooed. “We went with Himura, hope you don’t mind,” he added, holding the phone up to the baby’s face as he gummed on his little hand.
Rei listened to her son gush about his new baby. She couldn’t believe her pup was a father now…and she had missed so much. She awwwed softly when he held the phone up to the infant who seemed pretty content against his mother’s shoulder. “Really? Of course that’s fine, I’m just surprised you went with that name,” she said a little surprised. Her family name meant very little these days, they probably wouldn’t even approve of the child. “His so beautiful…skin to skin is very important,” she told the two as she watched her screen lovingly. She couldn’t help but see Toya in his son, especially with the pups eyes closed, she could just imagine it was him. “I wish I could hold him…” she said longingly.
Dabi smiled sweetly at the pup, heart full. “It’s better than dad’s or Keigo’s. Now he’s tied to you and to Geten. The offer still stands if you ever want to move here, mom. God knows it’s gonna be a handful with a five year old and two infants, plus I’d bet money Geten gets baby fever and is knocked up by the end of the year,” he bet, snickering a little. “He looks a lot like I did, but all fat and healthy and not sick,” he said, booping the baby ever so gently again. “He started nursing no problem at all, seems like he and Hawks are both fine there.”
Rei listened to her son proudly as he talked about the pup and how healthy he looked and seemed to be doing. “He looks so much like you when you were born,” she agreed as she watched the babies face scrunch up at the boop to the nose before slowly relaxing again. “Would you really like that? If I moved up there with you?” She asked softly as she looked away slightly and fiddled with her hair. He seemed like he needed her and she wanted to actually be there for Toya once in his life. The idea didn’t seem awful to her, she wanted to get away from all this, especially Enji. He had been a handful since the two left.
Dabi nodded, leaning down and giving Hawks a kiss on the top of his head. “Yeah, mom. That’s why I keep offering,” he said, shaking his head slightly. “He’s so fucking beautiful. I knew he would be, but God damn he’s a cute baby,” Dabi marveled, constantly distracted by their little boy. “He’s got the cutest little claws and wings.”
Rei smiled hearing him insist it would be alright. “I would love to…but I worry about Natsuo and Fuyumi,” she said unsure. They seemed to be doing well on their own but she would feel bad for leaving. She really wanted to be there for Toya though, never had before. “Claws?” She asked slightly surprised as she looked over the infant seeing the little black nails on his hand.
Dabi shrugged. Natsu and Fuyumi were both fine, but she was a mom, of course she’d worry, and she’d be giving up the ability to hang out with Shoto, which was huge. “I know. Just think about it,” he said gently. “If not, I’ll see about meeting at a third location sometime soon,” he offered.
Dabi snorted, holding up the tiny hand. “Yeah, claws. I’m not too worried about it, my friend Spinner has something similar, and he’s got it under control. Honestly, I think they’re adorable. He’s definitely got a flame quirk in there somewhere. He’s not bothered at all by my body temp and he’s got the hair and he’s running a little hot. Hawks was gonna have a heat stroke or something if he was in there any longer,” he joked. “It’s so cute how much of both of us you can see in him.”
Rei listened to Toya as she smiled softly. “I would like that. I can talk to the others about it. If anything maybe I could stay for a year or so to help with the pups,” she reasoned. They could work something out, she definitely wanted to be in her grandchildren’s lives though. “That’s good…just make sure he doesn’t scratch himself, even babies without claws try that,” she warned the two. “It does look like he would have one. I’m glad he can handle your heat though,” Rei told him relieved. Everything seemed to have worked out. Enji would be so proud of their son. If only he was a better man. “He looks just like you. The hair isn’t as straight though,” she told him, the pups hair seemed to have a bit more of a wave to it.
Dabi nodded. “You can blame his oma for that, all his big bouncy waves,” he teased playfully, placing his hand against the baby’s back just to hear him breathe. “Don’t worry, mom. We have a million of those baby gloves, I remember Natsu scratching himself like crazy when we forgot to put them on. There’s some in the bag, even, I just figured we should let him touch his oma as much as he wants right now. He’s so desperate for Hawks’ scent and shit,” he explained, smiling at his mom. “The kids would love that, mom. I can tell already that Hiroto loooooves attention. Spoiled little guy.”
Rei laughed softly hearing Toya as she watched them warmly. At least Hawks was tending to the baby well and had him healthy and strong. That was the important part. “You’re so well prepared,” she praised her son happily, he seemed to have everything he needed. “Yes the skin to skin will help with that and the nest once you get home, just don’t fall asleep with the baby in the bed. You could roll over on him,” she warmed the two firmly, that would be tragic. “I will bring it up to the others then. I can’t wait to hold him,” she told Toya excited before tilting his head. “Did you put make up on the baby?” She asked a bit confused. It was a bit hard to see with his face scrunched up but it looked like Hiroto had eyeliner on.
Dabi shook his head, grinning wildly. “Nope, I think he’s got cute little eye markings from his oma. And don’t worry, we have all his furniture set up. He’s not gonna get squished. Honestly, I just want to be in the nest with them already. I don’t know how you handled me in that box, I’m sad that we have to wait a day to go home, and they basically immediately handed him over.”
Rei relaxed a little hearing him, “Oh I see, I honestly thought he drew those on,” she said with a soft laugh. She was mildly impressed the guy had time to put make up on and not ruin it while giving birth. It made more sense he was born with them. “It was extremely difficult but we knew you would be okay and would come home soon. That was the most time your father had ever taken off of work,” she remembered fondly. She wished she could stop thinking about that man, but it felt almost impossible, he was a part of her even if their bond was all but gone.
Dabi laughed, shaking his head. “Most people do, but nope. He’s got little bird-markings. They’re so cute and dramatic on his oma, and they’re even more adorable on him. You made a cute kid, birdie,” he praised, so proud of his little family.
It hurt to hear his mom still obsessed with his dad but honestly he got it. On the rare occasions his dad didn’t suck, he was awesome. He’d be a lot less crazy, or at least a different type of crazy, if his dad had never favored him. “Did you feel colder during Natsu and Fuyumi’s pregnancies? Tomura’s cold all the time, and I’m wondering if that means Yuki got the ice I never did,” he inquired.
Hawks listened to the two tiredly as he cuddled with his pup. He was glad Rei seemed more interested in the pup than him, it was a bit of a relief. The hero laughed softly hearing Dabi’s comment about his markings. Hiroto did look like he his outer eye markings but not the ones near his nose. It was pretty cute. “Mm I sure hope so with everything we went through,” he said amused as he kissed the pups head gently, continuing to listen to the two of them chat. Rei hummed softly at the question. “No, not really. I did feel very warm while I was pregnant with you though,” she explained as he thought about it. She didn’t feel colder though while pregnant with any of them.
Dabi hummed, considering this. His mom’s quirk was pretty fucking strong all things considered, she probably just was cold on some level all the time. “Well, we’ll see I guess. Probably only another couple of weeks until you have a little brother to bother, Hiroto,” Dabi said fondly, imagining the pups all curled up and happy. It would be nice if Yuki had an ice quirk, they could regulate each other’s temperatures in the crib. “Are all babies this sweet? He feels extra sweet. I remember Natsu being pretty independent as much as an infant can be, or at least not very needy, and Shoto’s always been quiet.”
Rei nodded slightly, it would be nice for one of his kids to have an ice quick too, just so she knew some part of her was in there. “How exciting. I’m so happy they both are doing well,” she said proudly. She was a bit concerned about his other mate. At least Keigo wanted his family around, Shigaraki seemed more happy keeping her son away from them. “They are all pretty different I have found. All unique in their own way. You will rarely have two that are the same,” she told him, this one could be an angle and they next be needy and angry.
Dabi tilted his head, petting Hiroto’s cheek, beaming when the pup nuzzled him adorably. “What was I like?” he asked, genuinely curious about his infanthood for maybe the first time. “I bet you were just as hungry then as you are now,” he told Hawks. “Are you gonna get your oma’s bird-appetite?” he asked the pup.
Rei hummed softly at the question as she gave her son a sheepish look. “You needed a lot of attention. I could barely put you down without hearing the end of it. You ate pretty normally. Started crawling a bit later than the others but you did start to talk faster than them,” she listed off slightly for her oldest. Hawks thought that sounded pretty reasonable. “Mm I hope not, don’t know if I can keep up with him if he does,” the blonde teased Dabi as he watched the phone screen.
Dabi smiled. “Don’t worry, birdie. He’s gonna learn that formula is okay sometimes too. We’ll keep you fed, little guy,” he assured the infant. “I guess I was just born loving you,” he said to his mom, feeling strangely tender and closer to her now that he was a dad. “Love you, mom. I’ll call later, but I want to make sure Hawks rests.”
Rei felt a jolt of warmth hit her hearing Toya. That was maybe the nicest thing his ever said to her. It also brought her to tears, she would probably break down as soon as they were off the phone. “I love you too Toya. His beautiful. Let me know as soon as your home,” he told him, her voice thick with affection for her pup. “I’ll talk to you later,” she agreed.
Dabi nodded, smiling happily at her. “Will do, mom. We gotta get your handprints in the painting me and your oma did, little guy,” he cooed, kind of obsessed with how small and squishy Hiroto’s tiny hands were. “Bye, mom,” he called, hanging up and settling down next to Hawks. “You did so well in labor,” he praised his omega, not sure if that was weird. “You’ve been fucking awesome this whole time. I’m so proud of you.”
Hawks relaxed a little when the call ended and it was just them again. He preferred it this way. He didn’t know when he had become such a shut in. “Thanks,” the omega replied with a slight grin before yawning softly. “You have been a great dad, I know you’re gonna be even better now that his here,” the hero said warmly before humming softly as he looked at the baby. “Do you want to hold him? I don’t want to fall asleep and he fall down,” he told the arson tiredly, wanting to get some sleep now.
Dabi nodded, feeling entirely all too eager to hold the pup. “Yes, please. He’s so stinking cute. I dunno how some alphas can be so disengaged from their pups, he’s like the center of my world now,” he admitted. Not caring if it was weird, he pulled off his t-shirt, knowing Hiroto would be happier against his skin before carefully supporting the infant’s head and neck as he grabbed him. The pup was a perfectly healthy size but he still felt too small. He sighed in relief when rather than pitch a fit the baby seemed just as happy to cuddle up to him. “If he gets hungry, you want me to wake you or try a bottle?” he asked.
Hawks smiled warmly as Dabi pulled his shirt off and eagerly took the pup. He was lucky his alpha was so interested in his family, he loved that about Dabi. The omega laid the bed back some as he got comfortable. “Mm wake me up. I wanna feed him til I can’t,” he assured his mate as he closed his eyes. “Don’t let anyone take him or nothing without waking me up,” he mumbled. He didn’t want anyone leaving the room with his pup.
Dabi gently bounced Hiroto, wondering if the pup already liked being up high the way Hawks did. It’d suck if he was afraid of heights or something, but they’d deal. Hiroto snuggled into him, perfectly content to be with his dad rather than his oma since he wasn’t hungry. “Don’t worry, he’s not leaving my sight,” he reassured Hawks, overwhelmed by love as Hiroto didn’t seem even slightly bothered by the textures of his staples and scars. The pup really didn’t give a shit what he looked like, which was nice.
Hawks relaxed hearing Dabi promise to keep his eyes on the pup as he slept. He was able to sleep a good bit before Hiroto started to get fussy again for food. This was just the beginning of the next few months for them. It was going to be a lot of short naps and startling wake ups. At least Dabi was here to hold him and watch him while he slept. “Mm, do you need me to stay up a while so you can sleep?” He asked the arson as he woke up to feed the pup for the third time that day. It was getting pretty late and he was worried Dabi wasn’t going to get any sleep.
Dabi nodded, yawning loudly. “Yeah, you can definitely try. I don’t even know that I can sleep. I’m all fucking wired and protective and shit, it feels weird. But I’d like to close my eyes without worrying I’m gonna hurt him or let him get hurt,” he admitted, fascinated by how Hiroto knew just what to do to get his dinner. “Thank God I took the time off work. He’s already a full-time job,” Dabi said tiredly.
Hawks nodded slightly to the villain as he nursed the pup, bouncing him gently. “You should try. For at least a while. Maybe lay on the couch?” He suggested tiredly as he wiggled his finger gently as Hiroto held it. He had the most beautiful pup in the world…”Yeah for real. They know you started your time off right?” He asked Dabi between a yawn, not sure if he had started it yet.
Dabi nodded, wandering over to the sofa and collapsing, not even bothering to put his shirt back on. “God I hate sleeping on sofas,” he mumbled. “I should be holding you while you hold him in the nest. Thank God it’s comfortable since someone isn’t gonna let us get a full night for the next several months,” he complained tiredly, shutting his eyes.
Hawks watched Dabi as he walked to the couch and dropped down. He hated sleeping on couches too, his wings just didn’t allow it really. “I know…hopefully we will be headed home tomorrow,” he said in a hopeful tone, really wanting the same thing. Being cuddled up in his own bed sounded great. “Mm just make do for now. We will be home soon,” he assured the alpha exhausted.
Dabi nodded, yawning loudly. “Yeah, yeah. Be good for oma, Hiroto,” he mumbled before promptly passing out. Despite his complaints, he was too tired to not sleep well. Hiroto coming had taken a lot out of him, and the emotions were still running high. He had a living breathing baby now. He wondered what the League would think. Spinner would be glad he didn’t look less birdy than Hawks, at least.
Hawks smiled softly as he watched Dabi pass out. He deserved some sleep at least for a bit. The blonde finished the pup before the doctors brought him dinner and set aside a box for Dabi when he woke up later. It felt good to get some food into him after everything his been though. His body was really starting to feel the soreness now that he was off the medication. He hoped he would bounce back fast…it seemed like he got pretty lucky avoiding stretch marks, he had that lotion and cream on all day plus he was young, that probably helped. After about two hours of him mostly just gushing over the pup, he was crying again for food. This kid really could eat, his chest was already feeling sore after a day. He got Hiroto feeding again before looking at Dabi, that should be long enough…he needed to eat anyways. “Dabi,” he called to the arson before grabbing an ice cube and throwing it at the villain to try and wake him up.
Dabi felt something cold and wet smack him in the face. Startling, he tried to sit up and promptly rolled off the sofa, groaning loudly. “Shit… you guys good?” he mumbled, rubbing his head where it had hit the floor. “Don’t do that again, god,” he whined, standing and stretching.
Hawks covered his mouth seeing Dabi get startled as he rolled off the couch. He was doing a poor job of holding back his laugher. “Sorry babe,” he said between giggles. “They brought you food. Sandwich, fruit, rice and a cookie,” he told the villain amused.
Dabi rolled his eyes, stretching some more. “Awesome. I’m fucking starved. How’s baby birdie doing on food? You wanna try formula next time he’s hungry? I don’t want you so sore you can’t function tomorrow, and it’s gotta feel weird having him gnaw on you, even if he’s toothless,” Dabi reasoned, grabbing his meal and returning to the couch. “Plus, he seems extra hungry, even by baby standards.”
Hawks listened to Dabi as he stroked the baby’s soft hair, he still couldn’t believe his pup ended up with Endeavors hair…”Yeah that might be a good idea,” he agreed. “You have no idea how weird this feels. Like, not bad but definitely not good. A little calming,” he tried to explained. “But yeah, I’m already feeling pretty raw,” he complained. His chest stung a bit, a break would be awesome.
Dabi eyed Hiroto’s hair. “At least it’s bouncy and stuff like yours. Maybe he’ll get little curls. That’d help. Or maybe it’ll darken or lighten or something. Do you think we should like… get one of Tomura’s goons to run a DNA test now? Not for me, but in case my dad or the commission finds us? We could tell everybody everything about my dad and the commission and that he’s ours and we’re in love, if we had to. I just want like some kind of safety net so he can’t steal him,” Dabi explained. He really did know Hiroto was his, but he wanted more ammo because he knew his dad wouldn’t play fair.
Hawks listened to Dabi a bit unconvinced that’s why the villain wanted the DNA test. “We don’t need one. Endeavor knows it’s not his pup and wouldn’t risk trying to prove it with a test. We can get one if that happens but it’s not like the public will believe it,” he told the arson with slight annoyance at the idea. If they wanted to steal his pup, a piece of paper wouldn’t stop them. He already declared he love for Endeavor on Tv, him saying he loved a villain after being ‘kidnapped’ would never be believed.
Dabi shrugged. “I dunno, I just feel powerless. I don’t want him kidnapped or something. I get so fucking pissed thinking about our childhoods,” he explained, finishing his sandwich and moving back to his chair beside the bed, letting Hiroto grab his finger. “I wish they’d believe us. I mean, it’s not even like my dad is considered nice by his fans. Is it that hard to imagine he’s an asshole more often than not? I really do know he’s mine, birdie, I’m just scared. They put you in torture school. That’s fucking crazy. I’m worried I’m gonna have a hard time punishing him when he’s a little asshole, I can’t even imagine being mean to him.”
Hawks relaxed a little when Dabi didn’t get upset, that made him feel a bit better. He rubbed the arsons arm gently as he came over to sit with them. “I know…but his hero work has always been honest. His never had a scandal other than what we know but that’s not public…of course they will believe him over a villain and an omega…” he reasoned. He probably would have too if he didn’t know the truth. “I would if never suspected him to do this…it’s still hard sometimes. Knowing…I keep wanting to think that maybe his confused or mislead but…his just a shitty person,” the hero said sadly. He really wanted Endeavor to be a good man…rough around the edges but good. “I worry about that too. I don’t want to be too hard on him, my punishments were strict and firm,” he agreed disheartened. This was going to be tough. The omega smiled slightly at Dabi hearing him. “Good…you’re the only guy I have been with. Be weird if he wasn’t,” he tried to joke weakly with Dabi.
Dabi cuddled up to Hawks as best he could, kissing the omega’s jaw softly. He missed the light scruff his mate had more of before Hiroto, but maybe once he was weaned it’d come back. “Speaking of being the only guy you’ve been with, I know you’re still mad at me, rightly so, and also you’re gonna be too sore to fuck for a bit, and whatever, but let me know if you want like… a handjob or a blowjob or something, or just whenever you’re ready to like. Make out. I know we’re not gonna have time and everything else, but I miss you, and I don’t even have to get off during, but I miss getting you off. You’re fucking adorable when you’re horny,” he said, covering Hiroto’s tiny ears when he spoke. “I just want to make us right again.”
Hawks nuzzled Dabi back lightly, getting used to the affection between them pretty easily. It just felt right. The blonde blushed deeply hearing his mate offer to get him as his face burned red. “Aw jeez Dabi I really can’t even think about that stuff. Let me forget how bad it hurts to give birth before we try and mess around again,” he told the villain, not completely rejecting the idea but he definitely lost his sex drive for at least the next few weeks. “We need to get my birth control too before we start messing around too much too,” he warned, wanting to be way more prepared this time.
Dabi nodded, laughing brightly. “Yeah, whatever birth control you were on clearly wasn’t any fucking good,” he joked, ruffling Hiroto’s soft hair. “I know it’s early to talk about it, I just want you to know you’re still the sexiest guy I’ve ever met, maybe hotter now, actually, and that I still want you. Again, no idea how other alphas don’t think it’s hot when their omegas have kids. You let your body go crazy just to give us a baby, the devotion and stuff is sexy, plus you’ve got insane hips now.”
Hawks pouted softly hearing Dabi. “Yeah you’re telling me…you’re late a few freaking times and you get knocked up. Maybe I’ll try a once a month thing this time so I don’t have to worry about being too busy to pop a pill,” be decided with a slight yawn. He relaxed a little hearing Dabis compliments. “Thanks…it’s nice to hear at least. I definitely have to get back into my workout routine now. I really gave up the last two months,” he admitted. He was basically glued to the bed lately. It was a nice break but he didn’t have an excuse anymore. “I don’t even want to know what is gonna happen to my body the next few weeks,” he complained softly. His stomach was down a lot but still had a bit of a bump to make him look pregnant.
Dabi kissed Hawks again, happy to be close to his family. “That’s a good idea, I mean they have a bunch of options. God I hope we never have multiples. I’m already so worried about having Yuki be basically the same age. And you got bigger than I thought near the end. It was hot, sure, but how the fuck are you supposed to move at all with more than one kid in there? Or a kid that’s bigger than Hiroto?” he wondered.
Hawks nodded along in agreement. He felt the same way. He really didn’t want to deal with twins anyways and had no idea how they would both fit either. “I don’t even want to think about it. I had enough trouble with one. With two I wouldn’t even get out of bed,” he told Dabi as he finished feeding the baby. Once if didn’t feel like he was nursing anymore, he moved the pup to his shoulder to burp.
Dabi watched Hiroto’s little bald wings flutter, mouth hanging open slightly. “They’re so fucking cute. Promise me we’ll save his feathers. I want one of his next to one of yours in the baby book. I wish we could do wing prints or something. They’re just so fucking tiny. How are they gonna grow into something like yours?” Dabi marveled. “I bet Yuki’s a bratty baby. Eri’s adorable and I love her lots, but she’s definitely Tomura’s daughter,” he said, shaking his head.
Hawks beamed at Dabi slightly when they gushed at the pup. He was cute, too cute. “Sure. We can add it to the book,” he assured his mate as he patted the babies back gently. The hero frowned slightly. “Yeah you’re telling me…that kid hates me,” he complained softly. He didn’t even have a chance to make a good impression on her.
Dabi shrugged. “Why don’t we just have Deku tell her how cool you are? She’ll be all over you. She worships that little geek,” Dabi said, snorting. Eri sure looked up to that loser. “Plus, she’ll like Hiroto, she loves dolls and babies. It’ll work out. Just give her a cupcake and tell her how much you love her lame friend.”
Hawks listened to the arson with an unsure look. “Yeah maybe…I can try at least. But honestly I don’t know how much I can expect her to like me when Shigaraki hates me,” he pointed out. It didn’t seem likely the kid would be interested much in people he hated.
Dabi shrugged again. “Not as much as he hates Deku. Seriously, she’s a sweet kid at the end of the day. It’ll be okay. She’s pretty smart and you’re like the most likable person ever. Even I liked you, way before we fucked,” he admitted, blushing softly. “I need to talk to Tomura about my mom moving. He seems fine with it, supportive, even, as long as she doesn’t put weird omega stuff on Eri. I’m thinking she can have the place Tomura gave me, and we’ll take Atsuhiro’s or Geten’s. I think they were gonna screw once me and Tomura left. Weird amounts of horny energy.”
Hawks hummed softly, that was true…Shigaraki really hated those kids and Eri adored them. “Yeah guess we will see. She was really mean though,” he whined softly as he pouted to the alpha. His never had a kid cuss at him like that. “Really? I’m surprised they got together so fast. Guess they had a good vibe or something. Is Eri going to fix you up soon? I know you talked about that being in the table,” he asked Dabi. He would be delighted if they could keep him alive longer.
Dabi nodded. “I sure hope so anyway. I think she’s nervous. She’s never done anything so extensive and internal only stuff is new to her, plus she killed her birth dad, I guess, when her quirk manifested, so there’s dad trauma,” he explained, huffing. “I’ll ask her next time I see her.”
Hawks whined softly hearing Dabi. “Yeah I’m a little nervous too. Pleased don’t get zapped out of existence, or like, go under 18. I don’t want to have to raise you and our pup,” he told the villain a bit concerned. He just had to trust this…even with the risk Dabi was confident and he trusted his judgement
Dabi snorted. “I’ll do my best not to get you on the creep radar for being with a minor,” he teased, touched by his mate’s worries. “It’ll be okay. We’ve survived a lot. I’m not gonna let her quirk take me out. Do you think he’ll be an early talker like I was? We’re both pretty chatty.”
Hawks rolled his eyes slightly. “You better not. Or you ain’t touching me until you’re legal again but I really don’t wanna be a cougar,” he complained with a huff. He wondered if someone had a fast forward quirk or something out there. The hero hummed as he looked at Hiroto. “Don’t know. Wouldn’t be surprised though,” he told the villain warmly as he moved the pup back to his chest and checked the time. 1am…this sucked. “You ready for another shift?” He asked Dabi tiredly, wanting to sleep again.
Dabi nodded, making gimme motions with his hands. “Oh yeah. How can I say no when he’s so damn cuddly?” he said, smiling hugely at the pup. He knew exaggerated faces and mirroring their expressions were good for babies, he did it all the time at work. “C’mere, hatchling. Daddy’s turn,” he cooed, kissing his pup on each cheek before letting the baby relax against his chest. “They sleep like eighteen hours a day, like a cat, you know? So even though it’s gonna be crazy, at least he won’t always be awake,” he reminded his mate.
Hawks relaxed when Dabi accepted before carefully passing the pup his father, earning a few whined from the infant until he was laid back down. “Would be great if he did it all at once and not two hours at a time,” he told his mate as the blonde got comfortable in bed. “Just wake me up if he doesn’t take the formula or you need a break,” he let the arson know with a yawn before covering up. He was so used to being hot the cold felt stronger
Dabi nodded, patting Hiroto on the bottom. His little onesie was so adorable with its tiny wing-holes. He knew he was biased, but Hawks was hot as hell and they’d made an adorable little pup. He was excited to try bottle feeding Hiroto. He knew the pup wouldn’t like it as much as nursing, but he was clearly gonna need it and he wanted another chance to bond with the baby.
Hawks woke up again a few hours later feeling a lot more rested as the nurse came in to check on them and give them their breakfast. He really rather eat Dabi’s food than this hospital junk. He was encouraged to try and get up and use the bathroom before they left today. He wasn’t looking forward to that but he would be lying if he said he didn’t have to pee. “I’m just going to take him real quick and check him over then check his diaper,” she told the couple as she held her arms out to Dabi to take the pup.
Dabi bit back a growl before reluctantly handing over Hiroto. The pup hadn’t been psyched about the bottle but eventually his empty tummy had won out and he’d nursed. “Be gentle with him,” he reminded the nurse, like it wasn’t her job to do this daily. Once the nurse had Hiroto, he began eating his breakfast, wanting to be home sooner than later.
Hawks kept his eyes on the nurse as she took the pup to the other side of the room to look over him. He didn’t like how the pup immediately seemed to start crying and whining loudly. Poor thing had no idea what was going on just that he was away from his parents. It broke his heart. He tried to bare it as he ate breakfast with Dabi. Food still made him a little nauseated, but he didn’t feel like he was going to puke like he had while pregnant.
Hiroto’s fussing was infuriating. He wanted to snatch the pup up and basically throttle the poor nurse, but this was all needed stuff. “He likes us, that’s good at least. I was kind of worried he’d only like you,” Dabi admitted, finishing his food quickly.
Hawks laughed softly hearing Dabi. “Of course he likes you. You’re his daddy,” he said warmly as he finished up his food. “I don’t feel too tired anymore. If you wanna try and get some sleep before we can go,” he encouraged the arson. He figured they would just be checking him and the baby over a few more times and get them out of here pretty soon he hoped.
Dabi flashed a thumbs up, kissing Hawks on the forehead. “We did so fucking good, birdie. You did so good. He’s perfect,” he praised his mate, heading back to the couch to crash. He was still exhausted. Nothing had ever been this important or exciting before.
Hawks smiled as he was kissed and praised by his mate. Everything had gone pretty well at least. The best part of joining the MLA was that they got to do this together. He would have been pretty distressed without Dabi here. “Thanks babe,” he cooed back softly before looking up eagerly when his pup was returned to him. He didn’t mind spending the morning with the little guy while Dabi got some needed sleep.
Dabi yawned, curling up lightly on the sofa. Everything was so fucking overwhelming even though it was good. Soon they’d be at home and their little pup would be comfy and safe. He drifted to sleep, glad for any excuse to rest.
Hawks cared for the pup for the next while, talking to the nurse and doctors when they came in and checked on him and the baby a few times. They seemed to approve of everything and think he was doing well. That was a big relief. Not too long after the doctor came in let him know they both looked great and if he felt ready to go. He was definitely more than ready. It was already 7am and his been here long enough. The hero sent a feather over to Dabi to tickle his face as the doctor left to get him the release forms. Dabi was going to need to call a car or another favor in because he was not walking home.
Dabi sneezed feeling the brush against his nose, sitting up without getting hurt this time. “We good to go?” he mumbled, blinking around the room. “You want me to see if Kurogiri will help out again?” he offered, reluctantly grabbing his shirt and pulling it on. He wanted a photo of just him and Hiroto but didn’t want to bother Hawks with such a silly request until they got home. “I’m so glad he’s all healthy. I didn’t realize how worried I was about that until I knew I didn’t have to worry anymore.”
Hawks laughed softly when Dabi sneezed at the action. “Yeah they are getting the papers right now so we can go. They said we are all good so far,” he assured him. “Me too, but his perfect~ our perfect pup,” he said happily before gently laying the pup in the bed. “You wanna help me get dressed?” He asked, needing clothes on.
Dabi nodded, grabbing the backpack and pulling out the outfit he’d picked for Hawks. It was all stretchy and oversized and hopefully comfortable enough considering he’d just pushed out a human person. Dabi picked up Hiroto and gently placed him in the hospital basinet before helping Hawks stand. “We’ll pick you up in just a second, baby bird,” he promised the baby. “We just gotta get oma in clothes.”
Hawks let Dabi help him stand as he groaned at the soreness in his thighs and hips. “Thanks. I feel pretty weak but honestly not as bad as I thought I would,” he told the arson as he stripped his top off and started to pull on the loose shirt they brought for him. “I hope he does okay not being held. It’s good for them to have some independence.” He reasoned as they dressed him in some normal clothes.
Dabi stuck his tongue out, making faces for the pup every so often so as to keep him engaged. He didn’t want the little guy feeling abandoned. “He’ll be fine. He’s strong, I can just tell,” Dabi reasoned, carefully helping his mate dress. It was insane to him that Hawks could just walk and stuff after all that. “You wanna try and do his handprints today, if you’re up for it? I’ll set everything up and hold the painting, you can just sit down and press his hands to the canvas. And then I’ll take him and rinse him off,” he offered, wanting the hands captured as tiny as possible.
Hawks laughed softly when Dabi made faces for the pup. He seemed recently content laying down kicking his feet gently. The pup seemed like he was trying his hardest to focus on his surroundings and his dads face. “Yeah we can. Just make sure he doesn’t eat any of it,” he warned the arson as he got his pants on carefully before relaxing and slipping his shoes on. “It’s gonna be so cute,” he gushed.
Dabi nodded, giving Hawks a big smile. “Don’t worry, I’m not gonna poison him. We’re just making a little keepsake. I figure we’ll put his handprint in his baby book too, while we’ve got it painted,” he reasoned, pulling out his phone and calling Kurogiri.
Hawks laughed softly hearing him. “Yeah I know just be careful. And I saw somewhere you should just dab a little into him to see if he has a reaction before putting more on him,” he explained as they finished getting him dressed. He sat back down as the doctor came in with the forms and started to go over what he should be doing the next few days and reasons to come back to the hospital.
Kurogiri cooked breakfast for Shigaraki and Eri. His ward had been in a terrible mood sense he came home from that dinner. He was relieved it wasn’t because of his pick of outfits though. He didn’t understand why Tomura kept hanging out with Dabi when he seemed to make him so mad. Speaking of which..the villain looked at his phone seeing Dabi was calling. Kurogiri sighed before answering his phone. “What now?” He asked slightly annoyed. He wasn’t a taxi service…
Dabi groaned at Kurogiri’s tone, nodding and giving Hawks a thumbs up to let him know he’d be careful of Hiroto’s skin. “Shut up, you don’t get to be a condescending bitch to people when it turns out you’re like thirty and you have a regular ass face. Can we get a portal home, please?” he asked. “Also, are Tomura and Eri up? It’s been like a day and he hasn’t said anything about Hiroto. Is he still mad I didn’t lie to Hawks?”
Kurogiri scoffed softly. “I don’t see how that changes anything,” he said annoyed as he stirred the eggs as they cooked. “I can do whatever I please, especially after the mood you put Tomura in. His been upset ever since that dinner,” he scolded the arson. “I’m cooking them breakfast now. Eri is awake but I believe Tomura is still in bed,” he reported.
Dabi groaned unhappily. “It changes everything. It’s fucking weird. He’s just mad because I didn’t want to lie to Hawks. It’ll be fine. If he’d speak to me it’d be fine quicker. Can you put Eri on? I want to show off her little brother,” he complained. “Also seriously, just make a portal. It’s easy.”
Kurogiri huffed softly. “I don’t care. His pregnant and you keep upsetting him. It’s bad enough his having the pup, don’t make him loose it by stressing him out,” he scolded again, not wanting to get into this again. “She is about to eat her breakfast,” he said stubbornly. He was keeping the fog around his face down like requested so his emotions were a lot more clear. “Woah is that Kurogiri? What the fuck,” Hawks said surprised as he joined Dabi on the screen.
Dabi nodded. “Isn’t it crazy? He’s just some guy! And he’s barely older than us. What were you, twelve or something when you started taking care of Tomura?” he asked rudely. “Anyway, shut up. Yuki’s gonna be fine. Hey! Eri! Come over here and make Kurogiri show you your baby brother!” he yelled, hoping the pup could hear.
Kurogiri watched the two annoyed, regretting showing them his identity. “Seventeen.” He corrected before huffing softly when he was told to shut up. He could heard Eris feet quickly padding over as he sighed deeply. “I wanna see. Let me see,” she complained, tugging insistently on his sleeve until he lowered the screen for her to see the couple. Tomura wouldn’t approve of this.
Dabi rolled his eyes. Like seventeen was better. Who was he before he was basically Tomura’s dad, the world’s best babysitter? Why would All for One give his adopted son to a random teen?
Dabi grinned excitedly when Eri ran over and moved the phone to show off Hiroto. “This is Hiroto, Eri, your little brother. You can see his little wings better when he isn’t in the box, but look at his little eyes, he has cute markings like eyeliner,” he said proudly, thinking Eri might like that.
Eri looked over the phone eagerly as she was shown the pup. She frowned slightly in disappointment. “That doesn’t look like my brother,” she told Dabi. The baby kind of looked like that stupid bird but he didn’t look like her dad or her mom. It definitely wasn’t Yuki, he would look like them. Hiroto didn’t even look like her dad a little bit. He was a cute baby she guessed but she wasn’t really sure he was her brother.
Dabi’s smile wavered at Eri’s words. “Well, let me show you my baby book next time we hang out. When I was born, my hair was red just like his is,” he explained. “But he does take after his oma, you’re right. You know, Eri, even if he never looks like you, he’s still my pup and you’re my pup, so I’d like for you to be his big sister. You’re a smart, kind girl, and Hiroto could use a big sister,” he prompted gently.
Eri tilted her head slightly hearing Dabi. He had red hair? She thought his hair was white like hers and now it was black which she didn’t really like. “Your hair is supposed to be white though,” she pointed out, not sure how his hair changed so much. The girl shifted around slightly at the encouragement. “Um…yeah okay I can try. He is cute kind of,” she admitted as she watched the baby curiously. She wanted to be nice to the baby because she was sure his Oma was awful.
Dabi laughed, heart aching a little bit. “Well, maybe, but it was red when I was born. My quirk manifesting and getting stronger is what made it turn white. My littlest brother has hair that’s half-red, half-white, and my other brother and my sister both have white hair,” he told her. “Genetics can be really weird. But what’s most important is that Hiroto is a pup and he’ll be so happy to have a big sister and a little brother to love and be loved by,” he encouraged, wiggling his finger to show off how Hiroto grabbed it.
Eri listened to Dabi as she hummed softly. “Really? Do you think my hair can change colors? I don’t want it too. Maybe the pups hair will turn white too and he will look like me,” she said a bit more excited as she watched the baby amused. “Okay I’ll be a good big sister. Is Hiroto gonna come live here? I wanna hold him,” she explained happily.
Dabi shook his head. “No way, kiddo, your hair is totally safe. Your quirk would have already changed it if it was gonna. When you’re a teenager, you might want to try adding color or something, but other than that you should have perfect white hair for the rest of your life,” he reassured the pup. “He’s gonna live with me and his oma, but you can visit him as much as you like, and eventually we’re gonna get a big apartment with a bedroom just for you for sleepovers,” he promised.
Eri was relieved her hair was going to stay the same. She liked her hair and was happy it matched her moms and did match her dads if he didn’t change it. She frowned hearing they wouldn’t be coming to live with them. “How am I gonna be a big sister if they don’t live here? I don’t want to stay there I want you to come here with the baby,” she explained a bit annoyed. She didn’t get why he wanted to stay with the ugly bird anyways.
Dabi sighed softly. “Well, maybe someday we’ll all live together or something, but that’s not what your mommy and Hiroto’s oma want right now. Hiroto needs his oma more than anything right now. His oma’s gotta nurse him and make sure he’s healthy and safe. But you’ll be a fine big sister. I’m still a big brother even though I don’t live with my little siblings. Do you think you could do something special to help me? Hiroto needs some more art for his room. Looking at art makes babies smarter. Do you think you could draw him some stuff and bring it when you visit?” he asked.
Eri whined softly hearing Dabi as she stomped her foot slightly, not happy that they were being kept away from her. She was sure her momma would let them come live with them. He already wanted Dabi here. “It’s not fair,” she said annoyed before huffing softly as she listened to his request. “Fine. I’ll draw him some pictures of us cause he can’t come here,” she assured him.
Dabi beamed at her. “Thanks, Eri. You’re the best,” he assured her. “Do you think you and your mommy want to come meet him today? I’d love to teach you how to hold him,” he offered.
Eri listened to Dabi as she looked down as little. “I don’t know. Mommy has been mad at you,” she admitted. She had tried to comfort him but he was really mad about him not wanting to hang out. “Maybe Kurogiri will take me,” she told him, not sure if her mom would go at all.
Dabi frowned, but nodded slowly. “Yeah, well, ask him for me, okay? And if not then you and Kurogiri can come, but tell him it’d be good to see him,” Dabi said slowly. “You go eat your breakfast now, kid, and tell Kurogiri we still need that portal home,” he prompted her, waving at the phone.
Eri listened to Dabi before nodding eagerly to him. “Okay. Bye daddy,” she said proudly as she waved back as him before hanging up to the phone to tell Kurogiri what she was told to.
Hawks frowned slightly as he watched them. “You sure it would be a good idea for Shigaraki to come over?” He asked concerned as he carefully picked the pup up and put him inside of his carrier so they could go. He didn’t seem thrilled by the carrier as he started to fuss loudly in the seat. “You think he will be okay using a portal?” He asked concerned as he buckled the baby in gently.
Dabi nodded. “Yeah, we don’t have to let him touch Hiroto, but I think he’ll get paranoid and freaked if we had Eri over without him. Besides, hormonally and shit, it might be good for him to see a baby. It’ll be fine, birdie. I’m not gonna let anything happen to the two of you,” he promised, patting Hiroto’s cheek. “Sorry, baby bird. I know it sucks being in that thing, but we gotta get you home. He’ll be fine though, really. Kurogiri’s quirk is totally safe.”
Hawks sighed softly hearing Dabi. “If you’re sure…but I swear Dabi, if he makes one wrong move I don’t know if I’m going to be able to stop myself,” he warned the arson. He would kill with guy without a second thought if he presented a danger to his pup. The blonde looked at the warp gate as he suddenly formed in their room. “Alright…guess we can try it. Hurry and get home and get straightened out so he can get out of this thing,” he told the villain, not liking how the pup was crying outside of his arms.
Dabi nodded, grabbing the rest of their stuff and stepping into the portal, relieved to be back in their living room. “Birdie, if he tries to hurt Hiroto, I’ll kill him myself,” he promised, kissing his mate on the forehead. “Welcome home, Hiroto,” he cooed down at the baby. “You wanna sit with him in the nest for a bit while I unpack and shit?”
Hawks smiled softly hearing Dabi, glad he would do that even against Shigaraki. He stepped though the portal with his mate as the pup started to cry louder, probably startled by the sudden change. “Yes. I want to get him calmed down,” he agreed as he started to unbuckle the baby from the seat. He felt awful for make him cry so much. He held the pup close as he bounced him gently. “Let’s go lay down~ yes, would you like that?” He cooed to the baby as he headed to his room to show him the nest. He hoped it was good enough.
Hawks carried the pup to the room before gently laying him in the bed. He pulled his shirt off and replaced it with his house robe before kicking his slippers off and laying down, moving the infant to his chest as he started to calm down quickly against him. It felt good he could settle the pup with just his presence.
Dabi laughed softly, taking his shirt and shoes off. He figured Hiroto needed the skin to skin and it’d be easier to just not wear it right now. He put all their dirty clothes in the hampers and unpacked everything else before bringing the stuffed hawk and Patch to Hawks in the nest. They looked so fucking beautiful together. Smiling, he climbed in beside his mate. “Seems like he settled just fine.”
The hero looked up at Dabi hearing him as he came in to join them. “Yeah his not too fussy, just got scared I think,” the omega explained as he pressed against his mate.
Dabi snuggled up to Hawks, watching their baby cuddle into his oma. Hawks was a natural with the kid, which was awesome. “Yeah, the carseat probably felt weird. We should let him sit in it for a few minutes every day to get him used to it,” he suggested. “I don’t want him to freak out like that if we need to get him in it in a rush,” he suggested. “He sure loves you lots. It’s so cute.”
Hawks nodded slightly in agreement. “Yeah he will need to get used to it. I’ll scent it too to help him feel comfortable,” he told the alpha as he laid his head on his shoulder. “Yeah he does…I can’t believe I just had a kid..” he said amused as he rubbed the pups back gently. This all felt so unreal. He had a tiny person now that would grow up into someone.
Dabi nodded in agreement. “Yeah, I’ll scent it too. He’s just so small. His tiny little talons are so much cuter than they have any right to be. He really does look like he has eyeliner and nail polish on. High fashion baby,” Dabi teased.
Hawks laughed out hearing Dabi as he pressed his head against his. “Most definitely. His a stylish little guy huh? I wonder what his gonna be,” he mused happily as the baby squirmed slightly against him, mouthing slightly at his chest. “His gonna cover me in drool,” he said amused.
Dabi laughed loudly as Hiroto drooled. “Get used to it. He’s gonna be teething on us eventually. We promise to love you just as much when you’re annoying, Hiroto,” Dabi cooed. “My mom seemed totally fine with his hair. Honestly, I think she liked it, seemed to remind her of baby me.”
Hawks hummed softly. “Yeah, among other things. I’m not looking forward to how gross babies are,” he teased back softly as he nuzzled against the villain slightly. “Mm yeah, I was a little surprised…maybe it is mostly the eyes or something. Or maybe she was just having a good day,” he told him softly. “Hey would you..would you scent me?” He asked softly. It has been a while since he had with everything that happened and he felt ready for him to scent him again, he was kind of craving it.
Dabi beamed, nodding eagerly. “Fuck yeah, but only if you scent me back,” he said, already leaning in and scenting his omega. “I dunno, he does look like me. He’s got the same nose, I think,” Dabi mused, not that worried about it. “She’s having more good days than bad. I think it’s good she’s wanting to maybe move here. God knows we’re gonna need help if we have primary custody of Yuki too. Hiroto’s already a lot of work and it’s been a day.”
Hawks blushed slightly as he nodded in agreement. He was glad Dabi was eager to scent him again. The blonde tilted his head to let the alpha scent him properly. “Yeah would probably help her being away and having more like minded people around that don’t worship her abuser,” he reasoned before pressing back against Dabi as he started to scent him back. “I can’t imagine having two little ones like this. My attention is already consumed by just one,” he said tiredly.
Dabi nodded, slumping into the bed and Hawks as he was scented. “Yeah, I think she’d do well. Hopefully she’s actually considering the move. What do you bet Geten brings Atsuhiro when he visits? God they’re like insanely mushy. It’s bonkers. Like super lovey dovey.”
Hawks relaxed down with his mate once they were both re scented and covered in each other like they were supposed to be. “Yeah it would be good…and you found a new apartment? You think they are gonna move in together soon?” He asked, still surprised they hooked up so fast and seemed so in love. The hero laughed softly. “He probably will. It would be a start for me meeting league members again,” he offered. He needed to get back on their good sides. It’s not like he hated them or anything.
Dabi snorted. “Twice still really likes you, and Atsuhiro is pussy-whipped. Spinner’s just gonna be happy to have another heteromorph eventually so that just leaves Tomura and Toga, and if you act sweet and loving enough to me you can probably win her over too. It’ll be fine,” he reassured his mate. “But yeah, I figure we give my mom the apartment Tomura gave me and then take either Geten’s or Atsuhiro’s depending on who moves in with who. Then we can get a room set up for Eri and another crib and shit,” he explained. “Plus you can decorate more. You’re really good at it.”
Hawks listened to Dabi as he nodded slightly. “Yeah I can try that. At least most the team doesn’t hate me,” he said a bit relieved that they were more reasonable than he thought. “Okay that sounds good…maybe Compress could just take the whole nest so I don’t have to redo it?” He reasoned, stroking the babies soft wing in his fingers. “Gives us a little time to adjust before moving too,” he said a bit relieved.
Dabi nodded. “Yeah, if we ask Geten to ask him to do it, I’m sure it’ll happen. Hiroto seems so much happier when he can smell both of us. Do you think his little wings will be itchy or something when the feathers come in?” he asked, not sure what growing feathers possibly felt like. He kissed Hawks on the cheek, humming thoughtfully.
Hawks laughed softly hearing him. “He is whipped huh?” He teased softly. “At least Geten likes me,” he said amused as he looked over the feathers. “Um…sometimes around the base they itch but not anywhere else really,” he explained. “Maybe when the real feather come in it might for a bit,” he explained as he looked over the baby’s back where the wings were spouting from.
Dabi gently ran his fingertips over Hiroto’s little wings, considering this. “Is there anything we can do for it, like how people put lotion on rashes or whatever? I hate the idea of him being uncomfortable for even a minute while he’s so small and can’t really tell us,” Dabi admitted softly. “But yeah, super whipped. Geten had him in a fucking kimono. It was so weird.”
Hawks sighed slightly. “I’m not sure. It’s usually itchy cause it’s dry so yeah maybe lotion?” He suggested before yawning softly and nuzzling against the alphas shoulder. “That’s cute. I didn’t think he wore anything but suits,” he said amused as the blonde closed his eyes, feeling pretty comfortable in the bed and a bit tired. He just needed to recover from this.
Dabi nodded. “Yeah, neither did I. Literally I had never seen his face or him wearing anything other than his stupid Western suits and now he’s just doing whatever Geten wants. I guess they’re happy though, and Geten super needs to get laid,” Dabi mumbled tiredly.
Hawks snorted as he shook his head slightly. “His totally gonna make that guy marry him before they fuck. He got like controlling vibe about him,” the blonde said amused. “Or at least bond. Probably why they are moving so fast,” he pointed out before sighing. “I need to put him in his bassinet unless you’re gonna stay up. I need to close my eyes for a bit,” he mumbled.
Dabi nodded. “I bet he makes him claim him his first time. Not that Compress will mind, but still. And yeah, let me put him in the basinet. I’d like to stay up but I don’t wanna risk smooshing him because I’m so tired. I’ll put him with Patch and he’ll have our scents,” he said, rolling out of bed and grabbing the teddy, placing it in the basinet before making gimme hands so Hawks handed over the baby.
Hawks laughed softly hearing him. “We’ll I’m happy his having a good time either way,” he said warmly before looking at the alpha hearing him. He smiled at the action before handing the baby over. He knew he wouldn’t have much time before the pup was hungry again but he was already so much more comfortable. “Hope his okay feeling alone,” he said worried as he was laid down with his toy.
Dabi patted Hiroto’s red and squishy little cheek several times, heart bursting as the pup made the smallest ever yawn. “Be a good little bird, Hiroto,” he said gently. The baby seemed unhappy, but he wasn’t crying. He needed to learn he couldn’t be held every minute, as much as they might want to hold him. He stood petting the pup’s face until he closed his scrunched up eyes and seemed to be asleep. “Sweet,” Dabi muttered, flopping beside Hawks. “I know we want other kids, but they’re not gonna be as easy as he is and that’s gonna blow,” he muttered. “We got the best kid accidentally on our first fucking try.”
Hawks watched Dabi lovingly as he eased their pup to sleep. The baby didn’t seem happy but drifted off with his dad’s encouragement. He relaxed when the baby was out and Dabi joined him again in the bed. “Ugh I know…his gonna make me want another and they are gonna be completely different,” he whined softly as he quickly curled up against Dabi, enjoying the skin to skin as much as the pup would.
Dabi kissed the back of Hawks’ neck, beyond thrilled to be cuddling his lovebird again. Hawks had given birth to a whole person and he was still stupidly hot and sweet. “I knew I’d love him, obviously, but I had no idea how much. I feel like a different person now. He’s perfect, and you’re perfect for giving birth to him. Thank God we didn’t wait for the condom.”
Hawks hummed in delight as he was kissed on. “It’s such a strange feeling. It’s so different,” he agreed happily. “We could have had better timing but we figured it out,” he said relieved before pecking the villains lips softly and laying his head back down. “Love you,” he praised gently as he started to drift off to sleep comfortably. Things were going pretty well for the most part.
Dabi kissed Hawks again, nuzzling his nose cutely into the omega. “I love you too, so fucking much,” he mumbled, really believing that Hiroto’s birth was the turning point. He and Hawks would get their shit together and be bonded soon enough. Happily, he fell asleep.
