HINATA
10 MONTHS LATER
I'm sitting down on the blanket watching my son and daughter play with their toys. I glance at Kageyama who is already begun to cook on the grill. A few of our friends are meeting us in the park today. I'm pretty excited as the kids keep me really busy. Their first birthday is in a couple of weeks! Sugawara is helping me plan the party as I am having a hard time deciding on a theme. The plan is for me to start looking for a job in a year but some things have come up so I'm not sure if that is going to happen now. I hate that Kageyama is the main one to work but at the same time he is good at it. I like being home with our children as opposed to them being in a pricey daycare center. Seohyun snatches the toy from Lay causing him to cry.
"Seohyun…."I sigh taking the toy from her. She looks at me frowning like her daddy. "You be nice to your brother." I put the toy aside giving them both something they can play within peace. Seohyun red curly hair bounces as she plays with the toy I just gave her. She really has so much of Kageyama personality. She absolutely hates having a dirty diaper and likes for things to be on schedule. Like she cries as when I am off schedule of getting them up in the morning or feeding them lunch. She might not be able to tell time but that internal clock she has is a beast. If I'm even 5 minutes behind she is fussing. Lay is very laid back like me, that is not where his name comes from. He looks up at me smiling with the new toy in his hand his caramel eyes just as bright as his smile. His dark hair is so thick now. I smile looking at our children. I love my babies so much, I can't believe they are 11 months already. They're sitting up on their own, crawling but not doing much else yet.
"Hey Kageyama," says Kuroo walking up with Kenma. They have two double strollers in tow with their 3 girls and 1 boy. Kenma looks beyond exhausted and I don't blame him. His babies are only 2 months.
"Glad you guys could make it," smiles Kageyama walking over to them. "I got some steaks, pork loin, hot dogs, hamburgers, peppers, corn on the cob." Kuroo laughs as Kenma makes his way over to me with the one stroller.
"All this meat man," Kuroo states looking at the grill.
"You know I love my meats," smirks Kageyama. "We also got some snacks and drinks on the table over there. Chips and other kid-friendly snacks." Kuroo nods.
"Meaning some fruit and veggies?" questions Kuroo.
"Yup" replied Kageyama. He is firm in our children eating healthy and not eating a bunch of junk. Hard to do when I still enjoy the junk myself.
"Kenma, do you want anything?" Kuroo asks.
"Water," replies Kenma sitting down on the blanket with me. His kids are sleeping at the moment. Lay starts fussing wanting to be held by Kenma. He crawls into Kenma's lap. "Hey Lay, how are you doing today cutie." Kenma picks up Lay as he giggles while Seohyun looks at Kenma but continues to play with her toy. Kenma kisses his cheek and giving him a hug before putting him back down. Lay likes Kenma and Sugawara a lot. Not sure what the appeal is but I'm not complaining. At least I can have them babysit and know he won't give them any issues. Seohyun is the one who always gives everyone problems. "God I don't think I will be able to get up from here."
"It's fine," I reply. "I'm sure your mate will wait on you hand and foot." I see Kuroo making his way over to us with a bottle of water in hand.
"Kenma, you let me know if you need anything okay," he says. "Since the babies are sleep I will keep them with me. You go ahead and enjoy yourself."
"Oh I most certainly will," he replies taking the bottle from Kuroo. Kuroo squats down kissing Kenma before standing up going back over there with Kageyama. I'm grinning so glad to see my best friend finally getting along with his mate. "God I can't believe you cared two babies at once. This shit….uh crap is for the birds." I giggle because we try not to use bad language around the kids.
"I loved being pregnant," I reply. "Well not sleeping at night wasn't fun but other than that I liked it. Now caring for the kids. The first 2-4 months is the hardest. Thank God Sugawara was available to help me because…I don't know it was just so god damn hard."
"You also didn't have to work," huff Kenma. He opens the water bottle taking huge gulps. "God I would have never bonded if I knew me getting knocked up was a result."
"Awww don't be that way," I replied crossing my legs leaning forward. "You're alpha just really loves you. I mean the fact that he wanted offspring with you is huge." Kenma rolls his eyes as we spot Akaashi. Little Jimin is walking now but Akaashi is carrying him at the moment.
"Hey hey," he greets. "How is everyone?"
"I was saying how hard it is being a parent of 4," says Kenma looking up at him. "How are you?" Akaashi laughs.
"Being a young mom is great isn't it," he states with much sarcasm sitting with us on the blanket. "I'm surprised that Suga and Daichi aren't here yet."
"They're in route," I replied. "Oikawa and Iwaizumi are coming too. I think Oikawa said something about wedding cake testing today or something."
"Oh yeah that is coming up soon," notes Akaashi as Bokuto is running over with a water for Akaashi and juice for their son.
"Hey," he says waving once he hands over the beverages. "Did you guys need anything?"
"I'm great," I smile. "How are you doing?"
"I'm doing good," Bokuto replies. "Those kids have been working my nerves."
"It's mostly the 5th graders," explains Akaashi.
"They're so devious," says Bokuto. "Were we like that in school?"
"I wasn't," I laugh. "I think it is because kids see so much nowadays." I watch as Jimin interacts with Seohyun or at least tries. She is frowning at him, she will warm up to him but it might take a little while.
"So true," says Bokuto. "I have to keep the TV on Nick Jr and Disney. I like Disney better though."
"Me too," I agree. "I try not to put the kids in front of the TV too often though." Kenma is looking at us.
"Oh god…." he says slowly. "Soon this will be my life."
"It's not so bad," smiles Bokuto. "I promise. I'm going to get some food." Bokuto walks away going to the table. Akaashi looks at Kenma.
"You look so handsome," he points out. Kenma blushes but I can tell he likes the compliment deep down. I look up seeing Kageyama bringing me a plate. I didn't even have to ask, my mate knows what I like. He got me a hamburger, pork loin, and some chips.
"Thanks, babe," I tell him. He also grabbed me some water as well.
"You know I have to make sure you're taken care of," he replies. "Once the corn on the cob is done I will get some of that for you as well. I'm going to take Seohyun and Lay while you eat. Akaashi would it be okay if we took Jimin? I don't want him to be left over here alone."
"Of course," replies Akaashi. "Let me help you since you have to carry the twins." Kageyama picks up our children as Akaashi takes Jimin hand leading him over to the table. He looks so cute with his little legs trying to keep up with Akaashi. Lay is looking over his shoulder at me for a moment probably wondering where daddy is taking them. Once he sees the food he will forget about me. I'm glad we packed up those portal-able high chairs because trying to feed them on this blanket would have been hard. Kenma looks at me tilting his head.
"Something about you is different," he states.
"Nothing is different," I lie. I bite into my burger moaning because it is so good. Have burgers always been this freaking good, I don't know…
"Are you really going to lie to me," says Kenma. I finish chewing drinking some water as Akaashi joins us with a small plate.
"Hinata I must say Kageyama is an incredible alpha," he states. I can hear Bokuto growl. "You're head alpha, an awesome one at that Bokuto." Bokuto smiles before turning back towards their son. "God he is so easily threatened." I chuckle.
"You guys haven't bonded yet," I reply. "I'm sure once you do he will simmer down."
"Don't change the subject," says Kenma.
"What subject?" asked Akaashi before eating some pork loin.
"Doesn't Hinata look different," he points out. Akaashi is staring at me for a moment chewing slowly.
"Well yeah," he replies. "He's pregnant." Kenma mouth drops open.
"No way…" he exclaims before looking at me. "Is he right?" I blush as I nod my head yes. "What!"
"I'm not telling too many people," I reply. "I mean most people already judged me for having two kids before the age of 25." Akaashi rolls his eyes.
"The judgment is so unreal," he replies. "I must agree on that. At least you are bonded and married. They made it sound like you were sleeping around with a lot of alphas or something."
"How far along are you?" asked Kenma still in shock.
"I'm 11 weeks," I reply. "Kageyama is so excited."
"Was this one planned?" asked Kenma. I smirk because it totally was. We were successful on the first try, neither of us was surprised. We probably shouldn't have been trying again so soon but we wanted the children to be close in age. I don't think we will have any more after this…maybe. I see Kageyama glance at me because he could feel my happiness. He says something to Kuroo before walking over to me.
"I can't believe this," says Kenma. "You kept a huge secret from me. I need details!"
"I wonder who is going to have kids next," says Akaashi thoughtfully. "I wonder if it will be Noya. He is pretty smitten right now although he would never admit it."
"I'll be back," I tell them standing up meeting him halfway. I am curious myself to which one of us will have kids next. Only time will tell. Kageyama pulls me in for a kiss as soon as he gets his hands on me. Kageyama leans down releasing a small growl rubbing his scent on my neck in long swipes.
"You're so beautiful," he mutters.
"You're just saying that because I'm carrying our baby," I whisper.
"I would have said it regardless," he says into my ear. "I'm so glad you're my mate."
"Me too," I reply. "Me too."
Author's Note: Thank you to everyone who followed this story until the end. I know this was a long one but I enjoyed being on this adventure with Kageyama and Hinata. I do plan to write off several spin offs from this story but it may take me a while to get around to it. It will be worth it once I get around to it!
