Nemuri Kayama, aged 23, was a young and up and coming hero by the name Midnight. She had been able to gain quite a lot of notoriety due to her flirtatious and playful personality. Especially since thanks to her first costume, the hero commission had been forced to put in regulation on heroes' costumes. Due to the number of complaints, mostly from parents. But Nemuri was able to work around that without completely losing her appeal. Being a hero was hard, extremely stressful most days; it was why Nemuri loved her weekends. Time to cut loose and have some fun, thankfully, it was rare she was recognized as Midnight, so she was able to enjoy her nights off without the worry of someone asking for her autograph or a parent coming up to her to start something.

Her Saturday night routine, while basic, was enjoyable. Drag her friends Yamada and Aizawa out to a new bar, catch up since they last spoke. Get wasted on shots and try to pick up whoever she thought looked either cute or durable for her needs. The number of times she snuck out of her one-night stand's apartment was unreal, especially when he or she woke up in the middle of her sneaking out, Nemuri would never forget the time one girl ended up chasing her around her apartment.

This time, however, the plan was changed, Nemuri was pissed. After taking down a villain that was going to blow up a school, Nemuri came face to face with a stuck up mother who demanded she leave, so that she wouldn't corrupt the students. She tried to be professional, but then the bitch slapped her, thankfully Aizawa and Yamada were already on the scene and were able to hold the R rated heroine back. At the same time, the mother was arrested by one of the officers on-site for assault of a hero. After that encounter Nemuri had decided to end her patrol early and hit a bar on her own to cool off, the last thing she remembered was talking to a green-haired tourist over from America, who seemed quite lovely.

Nemuri woke up feeling incredibly sore the next morning, her hangover making it feel like Yamada was using his quirk inside her head. She tried to get up, but when she tried, she felt incredibly weak and sore with the lower half of her body. Remembering what she could from the night before, she chalked it up to she scored with the tourist, and he was likely a beast in the sheets, this was proven further after noticing the number of love bites she had littered across her body. She decided to leave it be and tried to sleep her hangover away. This became easier when her cat, Sushi, decided to hop up onto the bed to snuggle with his owner. Midnight even hungover could never resist a snuggle from such a cute cat

The next couple of weeks proved to be different for Nemuri. She felt terrible in the morning, was more emotional when dealing with parents. Also, her appetite had shot up, especially for katsudon for some strange reason, she didn't hate it, but for some reason, she felt like she had to have it every other day. It got to the point that her friends had come over to make sure she was okay after not showing up for the fourth week in a row for their weekly catch up drink

"Nemuri, you ok?" Mic asked as he knocked on the bathroom door, only to hear Nemuri throw up again.

"What does….it sound like…to you?" Nemuri groaned, through the door, Yamada sighed.

"So she feeling any better?" Aizawa asked as he walked in with a 2L bottle of water for Nemuri before he could reply, the pair heard the sound of Nemuri throwing up again and the toilet flushing. "Well, guess not," Aizawa groaned, emotionless as usual. Just then, the bathroom door swung open and out stepped Nemuri, who was a mess, unkempt hair, not wearing her pajamas right and her face looking rather pale.

"Nemuri, you sure you're not sick?" Yamada asked

"Come on, Yamada…..I... never…get sick" Nemuri groaned as she took the bottle of water from Aizawa and chugged the contents in one sitting

"Yet here you are" Aizawa replied in his dead tone

"Oh shut it Aizawa, it's probably something I ate" Nemuri screeched

"You know, you have been eating more than usual the last couple of weeks, maybe it's that" Yamada pointed out, it had been strange at her sudden appetite.

"Or your lifestyle is catching up with you, pretty sure the number of drinks you have whenever we go out and the fact you screw anything that moves."

"HEY, I HAVE STANDARDS!" Nemuri screamed as she grabbed Aizawa's collar, ready to kick her friend's ass. "Besides, what makes you think you can comment on my sex life, hell, even my social life! If I didn't drag you out on our nights out, you would be at home all day with your cats, like some crazy cat person," Nemuri growled at Aizawa, almost like a feral beast.

'Not to mention you keep losing your temper at even the smallest things," Aizawa thought to himself, not wanting to pour gasoline on the inferno that was Nemuri. Thankfully Yamada was able to calm Nemuri just before she could throw Aizawa through a wall. Afterward, they called up Recovery Girl to book Nemuri to find out what was up with her.

After cleaning herself up and changing out of sleepwear and into her civilian clothes, Nemuri made her way to see Recovery Girl. The youthful hero took a sample of Nemuri's blood to find out what's wrong with her. Thankfully it didn't take long for the results to come back, the results, however, weren't what Nemuri was expecting

"…I'm pregnant?" Nemuri asked

"Yes, dearie, according to the test, it says you're a month into your pregnancy."

A MONTH! How the fuck didn't Nemuri notice this? Looking back, it all made sense to her, though. Her sudden appetite, being sick almost every morning, her temper being worse than usual. A part of Nemuri was glad after her wild night out, she had been avoiding anything alcoholic, granted that was mostly to avoid another hangover. Nemuri let out a groan as she bowed her head in shame, only looking up when she felt Recovery Girl place her hand on her shoulder.

"Don't worry, dearie. Some people don't even realize they are pregnant until they go into Labour." Recovery girl smiled. "It is different for everyone. But there are a few major do-not's that you need to know about, the major being smoking and alcohol. I will set up some check-ups for you. In a month, we can do a scan to see the baby itself, to see how it's are doing. But I will be on call if you have any questions." Nemuri nodded as she rubbed her belly, now aware she had a little passenger on board.

"I take it this wasn't planned?"

Nemuri chuckled at Recovery Girl. "What gave it away?"

"Sad to say, but I've seen your reaction plenty of times, but that's to be expected when you're not only a hero but a doctor as well. So who's the father, I know you spend a lot of time with young Aizawa and Yamada" The older hero chuckled as she heard Nemuri let out a disgusted groan.

"Ewww, please, those guys aren't even close to my type" Nemuri shivered at the thought of being intimate with those two, maybe in another universe but not this one. "But, to be honest, I don't know who the father is, all I know is he was a tourist who was cute and seemed quite nice."

"Ah, I see …... Nemuri, I know this is a personal question, and you have no need to answer me but, do you plan on keeping the baby?" Recovery Girl asked seriously, she hated that she asked that question, but it needed to be brought up. Being a single mother was bad enough for most, but add being a hero on top of that, and that's almost certain to fail.

Nemuri took a moment to think about what the older hero asked her. She knew she is taking on one of the toughest jobs known to humankind in raising a child. She thought about everything, public reaction, her agency learning about this, the challenges she faces raising the child alone. But deep down, she knew her mind was made up.

"I want to become a mom and raise my baby."

"I understand." She nodded

Nemuri let out a few chuckles. "You know, it's funny. A part of me always wanted to be a mom, being there when they first start walking, their first word, and having a blast embarrassing them when they finally brought someone home, and I can embarrass them with all the baby photos."

"Oh I can see you enjoying that last bit" The pair laughed together for a while, this was why Recovery Girl was so loved in the hero community, not only was she amazing at her job but showed she cared for her patients. The pair talked for a while on what Nemuri could and couldn't do, due to her pregnancy. Recovery Girl also reminding Nemuri if there was any issue, all she needed to do was call her.

It's been three months since Nemuri learned she was pregnant, and it was starting to show. Nemuri's baby bump had begun to show a few weeks ago. Thankfully the R rated heroine had informed her agency about her pregnancy and planned to raise the baby shortly after she learned of it. Unfortunately, there was a problem.

"YOU'VE GOTTA BE KIDDING ME!?" Yamada screamed through the phone

"Yeah, those pigs are still causing me issues with maternity leave" Nemuri growled back

"What's the excuse this time?" Yamada asked

"Apparently, I didn't fill in the form right…. bullshit I filled it out perfectly and tripled checked it, hell even Aizawa said I didn't miss anything." This sadly had become the norm for Nemuri lately, every time she tried to sort her maternity leave, the guys running the agency would put another roadblock in her way. She didn't know if it was out of spite since she had overheard this screwed with a few photoshoots they wanted her to be in or the fact she had refused to do patrols for safety reasons.

"Seriously, this is getting stupid," Yamada shouted, he hated one of his best friends was going through this, all-cause she wanted to start a family. "This is getting out of hand. Even Aizawa is pissed off with these guys."

"Yeah, I know, I'm tempted just to set him on these guys" Nemuri chuckled, Yamada, laughed along with his friend, even he had to admit that would be a refreshing sight. Mainly since Aizawa always acted like he didn't care, but the pair knew how much he did.

"Listen I got to go, but how about we meet up in a couple of days, maybe ask Aizawa or even Tensi if they know someone who could help with this" Nemuri hummed in agreement with Yamada's plan, worst case at least they could get a laugh with the meetup. Hanging up his phone, Yamada leaned against the wall as he let out a sigh, unaware his conversation had gotten someone's attention.

"Oh my, are you okay, Yamada?"

Being caught off guard, Yamada rather embarrassingly screamed like a little girl out of a horror movie as he fell on his backside. Looking to where the voice had originated, Yamada quite literally found himself face to face with his boss, the principal of UA university, Nezu.

"Oh, Principal Nezu I…" Yamada said as he quickly stood up and patted the dirt off his hero costume, trying to look presentable to his boss.

"Oh please, just call me Nezu" Nezu chuckled in his ever pleasant tone

"Oh ok Nezu, well I'm ok but…. I'm worried" Yamada said somewhat reluctantly

"Oh, worried about what?" Nezu asked once more

Yamada was reluctant to talk about this since it was Nemuri's problem and not his own, but he knew if anyone could help, it was Nezu. His intellect was considered unrivaled. "It's my friend Nemuri Kayama, you see three months ago she learned she was pregnant and she decided she wanted to raise the baby. But the agency she is with is making it near impossible for her to get her maternity leave sorted, and I'm worried this could give her unneeded stress that could affect her baby."

Upon hearing Yamada's story, Nezu let out a sigh, another story of humans being complicated, what a surprise. "Hmmm, I see, you know I do remember hearing Recovery girl mention Young Kayama recently about how she had been treating her. But back to the topic at hand, you say her agency seems to purposefully be giving her trouble just because she wants to start a family?" Nezu pondered on the story for a moment before a light bulb went off in his head, signaling he had another one of his genius ideas "Well, thank you for that Yamada, you've given me something to think about."

Nezu made his way to his office, while leaving Yamada confused at what he had just done, a part of himself hoping it was something good.

'If I recall correctly, Miss Kayama record did show she had the ability to become a teacher thanks to her grades and our Modern Art class requires a new teacher, maybe I'll visit the famous Midnight' Nezu thought as he walked to his office.

Nemuri wasn't expecting this when she got home, outside her apartment was her former principal, Nezu. The white-haired rodent beamed when he noticed Nemuri.

"Why hello Miss Kayama, it's been a long time" Nezu cheered as he walked up to his former student

"Principal Nezu, why are you here?" Nemuri asked, slightly confused at Nezu's sudden appearance

"Oh I just happened to be in the neighborhood and thought I drop by and see how you were doing"

Yeah, Nemuri could tell that was horse shit, not implying Nezu wasn't a kind pers….well whatever he is. But Nemuri knew he was up to something, but she decided to play along, at least she wouldn't be bored.

"Well, thanks for the gesture, why don't we go inside and chat. It beats talking outside, and we can enjoy some tea" Nezu agreed that would be best and stepped to the side so Nemuri could open her front door.

After getting inside, Nemuri let Nezu by as she shut the door. Still, afterwards, she heard hissing, worrying something was wrong, she ran to the living room, only discover it was Sushi hissing and swiping his claws at Nezu.

"Oh my god, I'm so sorry, Sir!" Nemuri apologized as she picked up Sushi to calm down her cat.

"It's ok, your cat is likely just defending you, and it's territory, likely seeing me as a possible threat" Nemuri knew that last part was right. Mainly Nezu being a threat, the animal did have comic villain level genius.

After calming Sushi down, Nemuri made her way to the kitchen and started making some tea. "So how are things at UA these days, Yamada deafen a kid yet?" Nemuri shouted towards the living room.

"None to my knowledge, granted earlier today he did seem quite upset about something relating to you" Nezu shouted back, only to see Nemuri walk through a second later

Nemuri handed Nezu his tea as she sat down on her couch. "Really, what was he saying?"

"He said you were having issues with the agency allowing you to take maternity leave, and it was causing you unneeded stress," Nezu replied as he took a sip of his tea. "Oh my young Kayama, it's good to see at least one of my students knows how to make a good cup of tea," Nezu praised as he continued to drink his tea.

"I sort of had to learn how after learning the reason I can't drink alcohol for the next five months," Nemuri chuckled "But yeah…. those paper-pushing idiots. Keeping putting up roadblocks, from either saying I missed something and have to redo the form or telling me they're too busy to finalize the details." Nemuri growled, the mere thought of those pricks making her blood boil.

"Well, while I may not have gone through what you have been going through young Kayama, I believe I may have something that could help both of us" And here it is, what Nezu was here to discuss.

"Ok, sir, what's the deal?"

"I would like to offer you a job as a teacher at UA."

"No way I'm do…..wait what?"

"I would like for you to become a teacher at UA, specifically the new modern art teacher. Your record shows you had a passion for that subject, and your intellect backs this up, not to mention my personal belief," Nezu replied with glee.

Ok, Nemuri had to be either dreaming, or someone whacked her over the head with something heavy. No way her former principal would offer her a job, especially with the fact she only can work a couple to a few months until she would have to take maternity leave.

"You have to be kidding me. Like Yamada or Aizawa bribed you to do this kind of deal, right?" Nemuri asked, still thinking this had to be a dream or prank.

"Wrong, but you can thank Yamada for this. You see our old modern art teacher is set to retire soon and so far I hadn't been able to find a suitable replacement. But once hearing Yamada mentioned you, I remembered what I previously stated about you." Nezu responded with his usual glee.

"But…even if I take the job, I'll only be able to work for a three, maybe even four months if I'm lucky, before I would need to take time off" Nemuri fired back, knowing that Nezu hiring her wouldn't be much use to him for at least a year after she gave birth.

"Oh I'm well aware, I figured out a little plan that would work out for both of us quite well" And out of literal nowhere, Nezu pulled out a stack of papers and handed them to the still stunned Nemuri. "It's unlikely, but if there is an issue or problem with this proposal, I will be happy to discuss the terms further."

Nemuri looked through the paperwork, and she was shocked, Nezu was offering her better pay, better hours, and a more flexible schedule until her child was old enough to start school. This had to be a joke. These kinds of chances are the stuff you see in those terrible tv shows…. that Nemuri watched ironically…. But when she looked up to Nezu, the mouse bear dog creature just smiled.

"So, Miss Kayama, what do you think of my proposal?" Nezu asked, just as he asked though, he suddenly had Nemuri pull him into a bear hug and squeezed him like he was a giant teddy as she repeatedly said she take the job. The white-haired rodent chuckled at his former student response. He was glad he had overheard Yamada now.

July 15th, Nemuri wasn't expecting today to be anything special. Like usual, she got up, made herself and Sushi some breakfast, before slipping into some comfortable clothes, after putting on her long-sleeved shirt. She rubbed her baby bump affectionately, a part of her was worried though, she was two weeks past her due date and was concerned for her unborn child. Recovery girl had helped Nemuri calm her nerves, saying the baby will be born when it's ready, and she just needed to be patient. Nemuri finished getting changed and made her way to UA. She'll admit she should be staying home but prefer being at UA. She had Yamada there to keep her company and Recovery girl if something was to happen.

Besides, at least this way, she could get ahead of her class assignments.

But someone else had different plans.

Nemuri was in the middle of marking a test when suddenly she almost keeled over in pain. Nemuri felt in excruciating pain as she gripped her stomach. Remembering Recovery girl lessons, Nemuri tried her best to control her breathing. This was proving more difficult than she expected when she was taught. She then heard the door of the teachers' lounge and a panicked yelp, looking up. Nemuri saw it was Recovery girl. She be lying if she wasn't grateful to see the youthful hero.

Recovery girl rushed over to Midnight. "Dearie, are you ok?" She asked

"I-I-its….t-ti-ime" Nemuri groaned, finding it difficult to speak thanks to the pain.

"Ok, sweetie, just remember what I told you, remain calm and watch you're breathing." Recovery girl instructed as she pulled her phone out to call an ambulance.

"I-I-it….hu-h-hur….ts" Nemuri grasped as the pain felt like it was getting worse.

After calling the ambulance, Recovery girl pocketed her phone and held her patient's hand. "I know, dearie, it's going to hurt a lot, but it's going to be worth it, remember that" Nemuri nodded back in response.

The ambulance arrived a few minutes later, and soon, Nemuri was carted off to the hospital. The next few hours had to be the most painful experience in Nemuri's life, even more than the time she fought a villain with a broken arm and leg. But the second she heard the cries of her baby, she knew it was worth it.

After been given some time so the nurses could clean the baby and Nemuri could try and rest.

"Congratulations, Miss Kayama, it's a healthy baby boy," The nurse congratulated as she carefully handed the new mother her baby, wrapped in a fluffy blue blanket. Nemuri held her son close as she looked at him, and to be frank, he had to be the cutest thing she had ever seen. Damned if people say she only thinks that just cause it's her own child, her son was drop-dead adorable. From his puffy cheeks, his little hands, the tiny strands of green hair, and when the little guy opened his eyes, Nemuri was shocked, he had her blue eyes.

'Seriously, this level of cuteness should be illegal or something.' Nemuri thought as she held her son close to her chest

"Hello there~" Nemuri cooed in the mostly baby-like voice she could do "I'm your mommy, and you and I are going to have so much fun annoying your uncle Yamada and uncle Aizawa~." Nemuri chuckled as she was already planning on all the things she and her son could do to annoy her friends.

"Excuse Miss but do you have a name picked out for the baby?" the nurse asked

"Hmmm, how about Izuku, you like that, Izuku?~" Nemuri asked her son. The little infant smiled at his mother, that was enough of a response for Nemuri. "Well then, welcome to the world, Izuku Kayama."

A/N: And thus a new fic is up, this idea has been on the backburner for a while but I got a ton of fluff planned. If your curious, I got the idea after doing the midnight chapter of Izumi Aizawa and loved writing Nemuri like that

Anyway updates are slower than usual due to the fact I've been fighting a cold for the past ten days, so I'm taking the chance to rest and think on various projects. I hope you have a good day and you enjoyed the fic.
