Chapter Eight
"Hello, Todoroki-kun, and a friend!" A worker greets the frequent visitor and his packmate.
"This is Midoriya Izuku, a packmate," Todoroki introduces, "he's going to meet mom. She's been wanting to meet the person that helped turn my life inside-out."
"Lovely to meet you, Midoriya-kun! This will be a lovely surprise for her, lord knows she needs it," the worker says, "you know where her room is, if you need anything just call out. Have fun!"
"Thank you," Todoroki nods before leading his packmate to the door he sees every Sunday, his hand resting on the Omega's lower back.
"Are you ready?" Midoriya asks as they stand in front of the entryway.
"I feel like I should be asking you that, Midoriya," Todoroki counters with an awkward smile.
"Do you want me to wait out of the room for a moment? Or do this on-?" Midoriya starts, noticing the worry bleeding into his friend's face.
"No! No, I just... want this to go alright, and for you to not stress at all," Todoroki cuts him off, calming his voice instantly once he sees the shocked look on his packmate.
"Todoroki-kun, your stress is stressing me," Midoriya counters, grabbing onto the Alpha's hand.
"I'm sorry!" Todoroki exclaims, looking over the Omega frantically.
"Shouto," MIdoriya's voice takes on a more firm tone.
"Alright alright," Todoroki sucks in a deep breath and releases it slowly.
"There's nothing that you should stress about, you mentioned that she wanted to meet me. Besides, if I feel uncomfortable, or you, I'll play a pregnancy card or an Aizawa card. I'll understand, Todoroki-kun," Midoriya soothes.
"Alright, let's do this," Todoroki nods. "Can... Can we hold hands still?"
"Of course," Midoriya smiles, squeezing his and reassuringly. "I'll hold your hand through the whole meeting if I have to."
"Thanks," Todoroki whispers before holding the door, Zwalking in, hand moving behind him as Midoriya follows.
"Shouto!" A feeble yet silvery voice exclaims.
"Mother," Shouto smiles, " I have someone important I want you to meet."
Midoriya walks out from behind the Alpha and smiles warmly at the other Omega. "Hello, Todoroki-san, I'm Midoriya Izuku, but call me Izuku. Todoroki-kun has talked a lot about you and I'm excited to finally meet you!"
"O-Oh! What a pleasant surprise," Todoroki Rei smiles, slowly standing up from her chair to stand in front of the duo. "Shouto has talked about you as well, it's nice to finally put a name to a face. I'm Todoroki Rei, but call me Rei, sweety."
"I'm going to check in with Aizawa-sensei," Todoroki says before pulling out his phone.
"Why-?" Rei asks, looking from her son to Midoriya.
"Aizawa-sensei wants us to check in every half an hour, just a precaution of the... pregnancy," Midoriya explains as Todoroki hits send and puts his phone back into his pocket.
"Between him and the rest of our class, they're very overprotective of our pregnant pack Omega," Todoroki adds, clenching his Omega's hand a tad tighter.
"Don't act as if you're not overprotective, Todoroki-kun!" Midoriya scowls.
Todoroki lets out a low whine in response, freezing when his mother lets out a soft giggle.
"It's nice to see you relaxing with someone," Rei smiles. "I thought that your father would keep you from having this kind of family, something I could never give you." She looks down, eyes glazing over with unshed tears.
"But you're helping him now," Midoriya says, stepping forward to wrap an arm around the older woman and guiding her over the bed, Todoroki following behind them. "The only father I know left me at the age of five. For years, my wish was for him to come back, to get a call, a card, something. But I never did, and I knew I was the reason he left."
"Izuku-kun," Rei whispers in horror as the greenet settles them on the bed, Todoroki sitting on the other side of Midoriya.
"I wished I had the option to know why he left me, why he hated me enough to leave me and my mother. He was never there for me, but you had the chance to be there for Todoroki-kun, and you two are using that chance," Midoriya smiles, letting out a calming, milky scent to calm the mother. "And I bet we could get you out of here, my momma has been wanting someone to room with ever since I moved into the dorms."
"H-How? Wh-What do you mean b-by 'we'?" Rei questions looking hopeful at the pregnant Omega.
"Aizawa-sensei and other Pro-Heros would love to help Midoriya with anything they can," Todoroki explains, wrapping an arm around the Omega's back, who almost instantly leans again.
"And if that means helping my packmates with something, then I'll love to help!" Midoriya exclaims reassuringly.
"Thank you so much, even if it's just an empty promise," Rei whispers.
"I don't do empty promises, Rei-san," Midoriya smiles, smiling brighter when the female Omega gives a small, shy smile back.
