Chap3 secret baby

Chapter3

Touya has cemented the fact that he’s keeping this baby. With or without Hawks he’s keeping this baby. Single parents raise kids all the time, he can do the same with his baby.

Hawks wanted to meet up the next morning and had suggested a time that just happened to be before Touya had to be in school. Did he know? Or was it a lucky guess? It was hard to tell. It was made even harder because Touya is bitterly aware that he knows next to nothing about Hawks, or how much Hawks knows about him. He doesn’t know what he may have told him during their drunk hookups. And that… that’s the important part, really.

He’s distracted on the train, almost missing the stop where Hawks had told him his agency is near. He’s not going to Hawks’ agency, but a news station. Hawks hadn’t wanted to meet him at his agency… Shame? Or just being smart?

Can his pregnancy hormones be fucking with his head? Touya swears he isn’t this paranoid before, it’s just… He’s not looking out for just himself anymore. Even his siblings, who depended on him and Fuyumi more than either of their ‘parents’ won’t need him as much as the kid in his stomach is going to. He’s gotta put the kid first, has to choose to be better than what he was given.

And what does he really know about Hawks? Not much.

He doesn’t even know Hawks’ real name. He has no idea how Hawks will treat him, will treat the life in his stomach. A few good fucks doesn’t tell him shit.

He truly doesn’t know anything about him… That's…

Fuck. That’s dangerous. That’s every bit as stupid as his mo– as REI accused him of being. That Enji sneered at him across a training room.

“Touya!” He’s greeted at the front door by Hawks. Hawks wraps him up in a hug as soon as he gets close enough. He tucks his nose into Hawks neck and inhales the scent of his alpha. Warm, and safe. Spicy and the familiar softness of his jacket. He wouldn’t do that if he was mean right? People like his father don’t go around hugging people.

He hasn’t ever seen Enji inhale Rei’s scent after a bad day like Hawks always seems to do with him. That couldn’t be an act. It couldn’t … right?

“I was worried about you,” Hawks mumbles. He’s got his own nose tucked into Touya’s neck and is breathing in Touya’s own faint scent, diluted by scent blockers. If it bothers him, he doesn’t say. He just presses closer for a moment. It’s hard to remember his fears, when everything in him says Hawks is safe. But Rei thought that too, didn’t she? There were pictures, with her eyes shy and hopeful, as she gazed upon her flaming groom. Look how that turned out.

“I’m sorry, Hawks.” Touya clings to Hawks as he pulls back, arms strangely reluctant to relinquish their grip on the warm material of the coat, letting go feels almost like a physical blow to his instincts. Demanding him to keep his alpha close while he’s distressed.

“You okay?” Hawks asks and pulls back to give Touya a kiss and looks him in the eyes. His eyes are searching again, and Touya normally doesn’t mind the scrutiny but he feels too exposed right now.

“Yeah, let’s just go inside. I don’t really want to talk about it out here ” Or anywhere. Definitely not out here.

They head inside and down a hall, until Hawks’ dressing room is to their left. Hawks lets Touya get comfortable while he gets ready for his interview, excitement and nerves making his movements sharp, birdlike. It's… cute. Touya can focus on the cute instead of his gut, a knot of tension heavy and churning. He can focus on Hawks making kissy faces at him in the mirror as he finishes his makeup. Hawks must have kicked the cosmetologist he normally has out for him. Again Touya questions if its because of the shame a young pregnant omega will add to his reputation. What if he just wants a chance to pay him to keep their relationship and baby secret and not a chance to work something out? Hawks never had mentioned taking him to meet his family and they only talked about dating once. Hawks had probably just wanted a easy lay. Touya is alright with that, afterall he had just wanted a good lay too. Also if Hawks doesn’t want anything Touya has only himself to blame, he’s the one who blocked the alpha out of nowhere and then expected him to drop everything and pick him back up again. Who’s to say Hawks hasn’t already found a better omega and was dating them?

“If you want you can watch from in here, when I get back we can talk.” Hawks gets pulled out of the room, bare seconds to turn and offer the quick sentence, feathers fluffed despite a harried attendant attempting to smooth them down with a stiff bristled brush.

Touya turns on the screen in the room and watches Hawks get interviewed, filing away the precious little information he can glean from the smiling hostess and Hawks’ own easy grin. It would be a good cover too… if they didn’t notice the hand on his pants, knuckles white from the force they’re exerting.

“I saw you worked with Endeavor on this last project. What did you think of the property damage he’s done? It seems like he lost his temper with that last villain?”

Hawks gave an easy going smile to the reporter and leaned back against the couch, hand still tightly fisted but his rustling wings neatly capturing the camera’s focus. Touya knows how to do that too, distract the cameras, the teachers, nurses. Hawks look more real though.

“I loved working alongside side Endeavor. Although, I didn’t get to talk to him much unfortunately. He did what he had to do and I’m sure the property damage isn’t as bad as you say. The villain in question was an omega mouthing off pretty hard to him. He’s an alpha,Endeavor just let his instincts as an alpha get the better of him.”

He what?

What little of Touya’s stomach left unknotted quickly turns to ice. Ice, for all it burns, that freezes him in place, one hand slowly covering his stomach, like he can shield his unborn child from that man. From… from it all.

“You’re saying that it’s completely fine to smack omegas around?” The hostess has a smile like a shark, and there’s blood in the water. She adjusts herself in the chair, leaning forward and the microphone dipping closer to Hawks, waiting for his response with bated breath. She’s not the only one, Touya couldn’t breathe if paid to do so.

Hawks’ eyes widen and he sits up a little straighter. “Absolutely not, The omega in question was a villain resisting arrest. Heroes have the right to use excessive force to bring criminals in.“

It could be a lie… He doesn’t know. He doesn’t know. He can't… No. He has to. Has to protect his kid. However he can. Right now it doesn’t matter that Hawks doesn’t know. He’s basically saying that talking back, something Touya excels at, means omegas and children deserve to get slapped.

“No need to get so defensive, young Hawks. I’m just saying Endeavor is not very approachable and he’s always had bad popularity ratings due to how much he seems to just hate children. He’s got an attitude problem and we hear that he wouldn’t work beside you due to your inexperience” she smirks and waits for Hawks to agree with her.

“Well, I can’t do much about my inexperience. Yes I’m young and newer to the job. But I would definitely entrust things to Endeavor. He’s the number two hero! I’ve always looked up to him. ”

Touya doesn’t remember the rest of the interview. He knows the woman repeatedly tries to go after Hawks’ young age and inexperience.

When Hawks does come back in the room he’s frustrated and starts speaking right away.

“I just don’t get what everyone’s problem with Endeavor is!” He paces back and forth across the room.

“I don’t like how angry he is. I wouldn’t trust our kid around him.” Touya is tense back on the couch but Hawks doesn’t seem to notice.

“He’s a dick who shouldnt be around children,” he flinches back into the couch on reflection when Hawks whips around.

“He’s great with kids! I would have no problem with him looking after our kid. He’s just grumpy! I don’t know what you want to do about our baby yet but if we keep them then I’m asking him to babysit and be their godfather.”

Touya’s stomach drops. He can’t breath for a moment and has both hands locked around his stomach.

Enji is never going to know this kid even exists.

He opens his mouth to say so and to explain exactly how he knows how horrible Enji can be when Hawks turns around and his large spread out wing sends everything on table flying.

Touya flinches and Hawks curses as he starts picking it up.

The scent of anger and frustration heavy in the room.

“I want an abortion.”

Hawks freezes and looks at Touya.

“You don’t want to keep the baby?” He asks shocked.

“No, I don’t.“ Touya thinks about how careful Hawks has been to keep him out of sight and adds on another lie. If he’s going to raise this baby alone then he’s going to need more money than he currently has stashed away.

“And you’re going to pay for it. And for me to keep it quiet. Otherwise I walk out of here right now and tell that woman I’ve got a story for her.” Touya stands up off the couch and stares Hawks down. He can do this for his baby. He can keep them safe.

“You came here to blackmail me?” Hawks looks absolutely furious and Touya lets his face go blank. Not a single emotion to be read off it.

“Yeah, I did. We’re not anything, Hawks. I don’t know why you thought a baby would change that.”

“Who do you think you are that you can just blackmail me?” Hawks growls. A low angry alpha growl. If Touya wasn’t so used to Endeavour pulling the same shit he would have backed down.

“Todoroki Touya. Unless you want to explain to Endeavor you knocked up his only omega son without even the decency to court him or ask for permission to court me , he’s old fashioned like that, then I suggest we get talking numbers.”

Maybe Hawks was just that embarrassed of Touya but he buys the lies Touya is selling and Touya leaves unharmed and several thousand dollars richer.
