Chapter Three

"Valkyrie!"


You looks to see who called your name, it's a female reporter and she's holding a microphone. You figured a little interview after taking down the villain wouldn't hurt. It's been awhile since you've been seen on any news coverage shows or taken any interview shows since you decided to take a break from the hero life after hitting the 5 months pregnant period and all the way until now. You didn't want to have any attention regarding a family with you and Hawks to be known.


Especially when Hawks is in contact with the League.


"Yes?" You asked, smiling kindly at the reporter.


"This is our first time seeing you back in action after months!" The female reported said very enthusiastically. "How does it feel?"


You chuckled. "It feels great. I'm happy to be saving people again."


"That's wonderful! If you don't mind me asking, why did you take a break for a couple of months?"


You looked at the reporter, panicking in your mind at her question. You didn't think they'd be somewhat straightforward about you being gone for those months. You were gone because of your pregnancy and after giving birth to Naofumi too. You didn't want the public to know just yet about you giving birth to Hawks' son. It'll definitely be a huge problem for the both of you.


"I decided to focus on my students!" You responded, giving her another bright smile. You looked off in the distance, "I want to see them grow into great heroes and I want to help in their paths as well. A lot has happened and I wanted to be there for my students..."


"I see..." The reporter said, giving you an apologetic look. "There's been some rumors about you and Hawks--"


You weren't even able to listen to what the reporter had asked you because you were whisked away. A smile spreads on your face, looking up to see Hawks' face as he has a confident smirk on his lips. He flaps his wings, flying up into the sky as he slows down his pace and you could see the look of excitement on Naofumi's face. You weren't expecting Hawks to still have your son, but then again, you did leave Naofumi with him.


"Good thing I saved you, huh?" Hawks laughed.


You rolled your eyes playfully. "Yeah. I would be in quite the pickle if it wasn't for you."


"I know!"


Hawks fixed his hold on you, holding both your hands as he flies through the air holding your hands and having Naofumi in the baby carrier. You looked up at Hawks' handsome face and you blushed, looking down and seeing the the tops of buildings. You couldn't believe that you still get flustered from seeing his face every now and there after being with him for 4 years and even having a child with him.


"Why did you bring Naofumi along?" You asked, looking back up at him.


Hawks glances to his side. "Your best friend wasn't home so I decided to bring him with."


Hawks lands on his balcony, opening the door with a few feathers as he carries you inside. You smiled, knowing that he likes to carry you whenever he gets the chance to and once you were near the couch, he sets you down gently. He takes Naofumi out of the carrier and places the boy on the ground. Naofumi crawls around the living room as Hawks removes the baby carrier on his chest.


He falls into the couch once it was off, throwing his arms out and you lean against him. Your eyes are on Naofumi, watching your son crawl around the living room until he found a toy of Endeavor and started to play with it. You smiled, a laugh escaping your lips as you knew that Hawks is a fanboy for Endeavor.


"Hey Keigo," you started, feeling him run his fingers through your hair. The man lets out a hum, telling you that he's listening. "I think we should talk to my mother."


"About Naofumi?" Hawks asked, his eyes landing on his son.


You nodded your head. "Yeah. Before the public knows and I'm sure the Safety Commissions is gonna be upset."


"Who cares if they're upset," Hawks stated. You lifted yourself off his chest and he settled a hand on your waist, looking at you. "I'm being serious, [Name]. They're not even going to get rid of me because they need me."


"That's not my main concern, Keigo," you said, shaking your head. "My main concern is the public knowing. If the public finds out and it's bound to happen if we tell them or it gets out, the League will know. They've been a problem for my students the so far and what if they come after me or use Naofumi to blackmail me."


Hawks narrows his eyes, you know it's not directed at you. "I'll protect Naofumi. I won't let them hurt him or you."


"I know you will," you said, putting your head back on his chest. "I just hope everything will turn all right. I have my mother to worry about and I haven't talked to her in at least a year. Then we have the Hero Billboard Chart coming up."


"Oh yeah..." Hawks trailed off. He scratches his head, a displeased look on his face. "Do we have to go to that? Everyone already knows who's the Number One Hero."


You chuckled, ruffling up his hair. "It has to be announced officially. Endeavor was temporary the Number One and now he's going to be the Number One officially. I bet you're happy, Keigo."


Hawks looks away, a blush on his cheeks. "Why would I be happy? I just want someone to be able to ease the public and I can't do that."


"Whatever you say, Keigo," you laughed.


You removed yourself from Hawks, standing up from the couch and you noticed the sleepy look in Naofumi's eyes. You smiled, walking over to your son and you picked him up, holding him in your arms and you made your way back to Hawks. You sit down besides Hawks, leaning against his body as you hold Naofumi and you feel Hawks rest his chin on your shoulder.


Hawks kisses your head, looking back down at Naofumi. "You know, he's going to have a pair of wings as his Quirk."


"That's what you hope for," you said, shaking your head.


"No, I know he's going to have wings," Hawks laughed, squeezing your arm gently. "Both his parents have wings so he's bound to join the us bird-folk."


"Do you know how ridiculous you sound?" You laughed.


"You like it though," Hawks remarked.


You rolled your eyes playfully. "Whatever." You looked down to see Naofumi asleep and you stood up, removing yourself from Hawks. "I'm going to go put him to bed. I'll see you in the bedroom."


"Okay," Hawks chimed.


You walk to Naofumi's room, going to turn on the lights in the bedroom, but Hawks's feathers beat you to it. You looked over your shoulder at him and he gives you a cheeky smile, shrugging his shoulders. You chuckled, going into the room and walking towards Naofumi's crib and setting your baby down. You stared at him with a smile on your face, tucking him with the blanket that has Hawks on it. It's a cute blanket and Hawks picked it out himself.


Naofumi wasn't a planned pregnancy between you and Hawks. You don't want to call Naofumi a mistake because that's not how you saw your pregnancy although it was a shock to you and Hawks. The two of you didn't use protection so it was bound to happen, but you were on birth control. How Naofumi was made was a mystery since you were on birth control at the time. However, you're glad to see Naofumi and happy to have a child with Hawks too.


You walked away from Naofumi's crib and towards the door, turning off the lights and you made it to your shares bedroom with Hawks. Your boyfriend already lying down in the bed with the TV on and a movie playing. You still have to change out of your hero clothes so you make your way towards the closet, changing out of your clothes. You put on one of Hawks's hoodies, a red one that a phrase in the back of the hoodie.


"You want Endeavor's help with the Nomus right?" You asked, making your way towards the bed.


You had one knee on the bed, getting ready to get fully on it before Hawks snatches you into his arms. You smiled, staring into his chest as his arms are around you and you hold his shirt. You inhaled and then exhaled deeply, your body relaxing as you're in a comfortable position with Hawks.


"Yeah..." Hawks trailed off, his eyes glued to the TV. "I'm going to be the producer for him."


You laughed and Hawks adjusts his position. He's moves to his back with you still in his arms and you're sitting on him. His hand settle on your waist and the other hand goes behind his head as he looks at you with a carefree smile on his lips. Your hands are on his chest as you look at him and you shook your head at his words.


"If you ever say that to Endeavor, I'm sure it'll piss him off," you said, Hawks playing with the hem of his hoodie that you're wearing. "He won't like it, but I'm sure he'll listen. Besides, you'll get to be with him and talk to him! He's your favorite."


Hawks looks away, a pout on his lips. "Why do you gotta bring that up all the time?"


"Because you're a fanboy of the man," you explained, letting out a laugh.


Hawks sits forward, you fall back into his lap and he wraps his arms around you, holding you close. You blinked a few times, letting your arms wrap around his neck and you feel his breath hit your neck. You tangle your hand into his ash, blonde hair as he holds you close.


You let out a hum. "Something the matter, Keigo?"


He lets out a grunt. "No. I just like having you in my arms."


"And I like being in your arms," you confessed.


He tightens his arms around you and you smiled. Hawks falls back into the bed with you still in his arms as he holds you. You just let him hold you, loving the warmth and the feeling of his arms around you. And the two of you just lay there in the bed like that, holding each other.
