one and a half years later
hiro is two almost three

"so we were thinking of adopting." makki told you and you tore your eyes away from kyo who was flipping through a baby book that made farm animals when he pressed a button.

when he first used the book, he pressed on the rooster button and cried when the loud sound of the rooster flew out of the book without warning.

"a boy or girl?" you were sitting in the living room with kyo and makki while mattsun, hajime, and hiro were outside.

"i don't mind. i just want a kid that we can call our child." he sighed and ran his hand through his hair. "and i want the way that kyo and hiro look at you and iwaizumi. with this pure look of admiration and love and knowing that they love the two of you more than anyone else."

right on time, kyo pushed himself off the floor and walked over to you. he climbed into your lap and showed you his book.

"see." makki lifted his hand up and gestured to you and kyo. "i want a bond with my kid like the bond you have with yours."

"makki!" hiro ran into the house at full speed and held up a small collection of flowers. the dinosaur hat he loved so much was still on his head and he was wearing overalls with a dinosaur printed on one of the pockets. "look, look, look!" he flew into the couch and the stood up.

"shoes." hiro looked down at his shoes and started to yank them off his feet which then resulted in him taking off both his socks and shoes.

"sorry, mommy." he tossed his shoes onto the floor and kicked the spot where his shoes just were. he handed a flower to makki who thanked him and then jumped off the couch and climbed onto the couch next to you.

"fower." kyo reached out his hand and hiro placed a yellow flower into his little brother's hand. kyo held onto the flower like it was the most fragile thing in the world and made sure not to drop it.

"hey." hajime walked into the house with mattsun in tow. he leaned down and pressed a kiss to your forehead before hauling kyo up into his arms.

the one year old let out a gasp and protectively held onto his flower. hajime pretended to drop him and kyo let out a even louder gasp. "i'll never drop you, buddy." he said and hoisted kyo higher on his hip.

hiro took the opportunity and slid closer to you, handing you a purple flower. you thanked him and wrapped your arm around him so he could lean against you.

"so, did he tell you?" mattsun asked and nodded over to makki.

"yeah. i think it's cool you guys want to adopt a kid. that kid will need a lot of energy to keep up with you two though." hajime caught the flower that kyo let go of before it dropped onto hiro's head.

"boy or girl?" hajime asked and looked down at you. you looked right back at him and raised your eyebrow. you weren't pregnant, but knew that you two did want to have another baby again.

"dunno. either one." mattsun plopped down next to makki and had one arm around his shoulders. "but we thought now would be a cool time cause, one, we want a kid. two, you two are in the middle of baby making so we thought why not adopt a kid so they can grow up with your kids."

the two of them looked over to kyo who was gasping continuously when hajime let him lean back over the couch, pretending like he was going to fall. his little hands grabbed onto hajime's arms and he looked up at his dad in shock.

hiro was quietly talking to himself while separating the flowers apart by color. he handed you another three flowers and then jumped off the couch with the rest of the flowers and ran off somewhere.

"so, if you're planning on having another kid, do you want a boy or girl?" makki asked and you waved your hand at your husband since he had the same answer every time.

"a girl." 

｡+ﾟ☆ﾟ+｡★｡+ﾟ☆ﾟ+｡★｡+ﾟ☆ﾟ+｡★｡+ﾟ☆ﾟ

"i didn't think you guys would actually have another kid." makki stared at the pregnancy stick laid out on the table in shock.

you were sitting on a chair with your legs tucked against your chest and hajime was holding your body against his. you were halfway out of your chair and you just wanted to crawl into his lap. "i don't know why i put myself through such pain."

hajime pressed his lips to your forehead while he also stared at the stick. kyo and hiro were in their high chairs and eating their baby snacks, sometimes leaning over to exchange their snacks even though they had the exact same ones.

"for another one of them." hajime turned your head over to your babies. hiro looked over at you two when he noticed half the attention was on him. his lips tilted up into a toothy smile and his eyes seemed to light up when you turned your attention to him.

he gathered up a bunch of the little circular fruit snacks into his hand and held his palm out to you. "snack?" you held out your hand and he dropped them.

"you're right." you handed off the snacks to hajime and then moved closer to your kids. kyo immediately started to wiggle around and reach out for you. "except that pregnancy is a pain in.. everywhere. literally everywhere. i'm not even exaggerating."

mattsun helped wipe kyo's face clean and pulled the tray of the high chair off for you to pick kyo up. he held onto your shirt and tried to cling onto you, his arms barely wrapping around you.

hiro looked up at you and his brother and then over to his dad, looking for attention. "daddy?" he kicked his feet and slapped his hands on top of his tray. "up. up. up, up." hajime calmly began to take hiro out of his high chair while the toddler was talking his ear off with the same word.

"you know, we're not gonna get a child right away." makki tore his gaze off the positive pregnancy stick.

"well then you better hope this is a boy." you pointed at your stomach and kyo repeated your movement. his tiny finger poked at your stomach and he looked up at you, confused. you just kissed his nose and his whole face crinkled up before a bright smile lit up his face.

"yeah, and to see him trying to get your pregnant again until a girl pops out." mattsun nodded over to hajime who had hiro on his lap and haru sniffing hiro's foot. hajime had one hand on his son's legs to keep him from kicking.

"hey, i'm fine if we don't get a daughter." he interrupted. "i just prefer one girl after these two." he tickled hiro's stomach lightly and hiro's feet started to kick and his hands were trying to push his dad's hands away while he laughed.

you let kyo down on the floor and hiro slid off hajime's lap to join his brother. the two of them started to grab ollie and haru's dog toys and started playing with the two dogs.

kyo tried to throw one of the toys like he watched you and hajime do, but the toy barely flew two feet. kyo looked like he wanted to cry but hiro quickly grabbed a ball and showed kyo to roll the ball against the floor instead.

"come on, kyo." hiro laid down on the floor and started rolling. his younger brother looked at him in curiosity before squatting down to the floor and dropped down to the floor, chest to the ground.

makki and mattsun leaned over to the side to watch the scene go down and you and hajime had your heads turned.

"you have to rolls, kyo." hiro instructed and continued rolling until his body hit the wall. kyo started to roll to his side and hiro let out a happy laugh before pushing himself up off the ground and clapping for his brother.

"we've raised rocks like the ones in frozen." hajime said and his hands fell over your stomach. you looked down at his hand and wanted to throw up at the image and thought of being pregnant again.

but having another child wouldn't be the worst thing in the world. the pain of the pregnancy, that would be the worst thing.

hajime started to wrap his arms around you even more and kiss your cheek as if he felt your nerves. "we can stop having kids after this one if you want." he said softly so that the couple across the table couldn't hear.

you didn't answer him and just melted back against his chest. "but then kyo and hiro are already so close, what if this one gets pushed to the outside?" you said and turned your head into his shirt.

"you need to think what you want and not what our kids might be like in the future." he tapped your thigh and grabbed onto your hand.

"i don't want them to be lonely." you remembered how your parents were never home and always throwing you over to semi's house or hiring babysitters and nannies.

"come on." hajime sat up a little. "kyo! hiro!" he called out and the two boys turned around. they started running as fast as they could to you which wasn't that fast. hiro reached you two before kyo did and he started to try and climb up hajime's chair.

"come on, champ." he removed one arm from you and used it to scoop up his son.

once kyo approached you, you leaned down a little and picked him up. his hands grabbed onto your face and you stuck your tongue out at him. he watched you for a second before copying your movement. his little tongue sticking out like you.

"that's so cute." makki whispered to mattsun and tugged on his boyfriend's jacket. they still weren't engaged or married or anything, just dating which was surprising for those two.

"how do you feel about having another brother?" hajime asked hiro since he would understand better than kyo. "or sister?"

"sister?" hiro tilted his head and looked over at you.

"maybe."

"brother?"

"possibly."

"another kyo?"

"not another kyo." hajime grinned when hiro looked back and forth between you, him, and kyo. "just another sibling."

"new.. sibling?"

"yep."

"i wants a new sibling!" he jumped up on hajime's lap and started bending his knees up and down in excitement.

"will you love your new sibling like you love kyo?" hajime brushed hiro's brown hair away from his face.

"uh huh." your oldest son nodded repeatedly.

"you'll let them play with your toys?"

"yesyesyes."

"how about share your dino hat?" hiro didn't even let kyo wear his hat. a frown now replaced hiro's smile.

"daddy.. no."

"but hiro, you said you loved your new sibling." he was just teasing at this point. you shoved his arm and stood up with kyo. his head rested on your shoulder while his hand played with the necklace you were wearing.

"but dino hat." hiro bought both his tiny hands on top of his head above his hat like someone was about to take it away. "it's hiro's hat. only hiro."

you let kyo down in his baby walker and he stared up at you, uninterested in running around like hiro did. he would rather stay with you instead of walking around the house.

"mommy." he dropped his body to lean against the walker. you walked into the kitchen and he followed you. his expression was bored and he looked like he would rather be anywhere but standing in the little walker.

you grabbed a milk bottle for him and shook it up before sliding down to the floor and handing it to him. he gave you a smile before bringing the bottle to his mouth and drinking from it.

you stayed next to him and rolled him in his walked back and forth while he was trying to not to laugh and spill his milk.

the way babies laughed over nothing, you found your two sons excelled in that. hiro was all laughter and barely any crying while kyo would be smiling all the time as long as he was near you.

"how do you feel about a new sibling?" you asked him and tapped your fingers against his tiny hand. his wide eyes turned to you and he dropped the bottle that was nearly empty.

from the table, hajime turned his head to look over at you and saw that you were talking to kyo while the little baby had a curious look in his eye and smiling up at his mom.

"go hug your mom." hajime said to hiro and let him back down on the floor. "she looks like she needs one."

hiro didn't hesitate before sprinting over to you, throwing his arms around your neck. you returned his hug and kissed his cheek.

kyo reached his arms out and hugged one of his brothers legs since he couldn't reach you.

right in that moment, you knew that the pain of pregnancy would be worth it for moments like these.

｡+ﾟ☆ﾟ+｡★｡+ﾟ☆ﾟ+｡★｡+ﾟ☆ﾟ+｡★｡+ﾟ☆ﾟ

"can i ground this kid the second they come out?" you buried your face into hajime's hands and did everything to take your mind of the pain.

for the past few months, the baby inside you has been kicking you to the point where you stopped getting excited about the little kicks.

"we'll know that this kid is more wild than our other two." hajime was sitting on the edge of your bed.

"more wild than hiro?" you could only imagine what chaos the house would turn into.

"more wild than hiro." hajime's phone rang and he withdrew one hand to answer it. "it's makki." hajime dropped the two boys over with mattsun and makki since they wanted to see how well they could work with kids.

"so, hypothetically, what should we do if hiro started a stick fight with random kids at the playground?" makki's words made you lift your head up.

"a stick fight?"

"he found a long stick and is now pretending like it's a sword and challenging some other kids to fight with him." makki explained.

"is he winning?" you asked and leaned over to speak into the phone.

"yeah."

"then let him keep fighting. don't let any of them get hurt though. how's kyo?"

"mattsun is trying to convince him to slide down the slide. he said that the first time his belly felt weird and mattsun told him that his stomach dropped and the little kid cried because he couldn't find it."

"you know you're supposed to start with the smaller slides and not the ones where you have to climb up a million stairs to get to." hajime started to spin ring around, something he did when he was nervous about his kids or you. you were certain that ring had been spinning for the last couple hours.

"well, now we do. how's the new baby going?"

"hell." you answered. "absolute hell."

"we think this kid is going to be more wild than hiro." hajime told makki while moving closer to you.

"more wild than the kid i'm watching fight people with sticks right now?" makki's voice held uncertainty.

"we'll have an answer when he comes out.."

"... i already love him." you lifted up the newborn baby boy in your arms. hajime was still spinning his ring around and he stared down at the boy. "my little troublemaker."

"our little troublemaker." he pressed a kiss to your forehead before moving to sit next to you on the bed, cradling your body against his like your were with the newborn. "iwaizumi kakeru."

"you sure he's not a girl..?" hajime teased against your forehead and you glared up at him.

"i hate you."

"no, you love me. and i love little kakeru here." hajime tapped a finger to kakeru's nose. "i'm only joking about having girl."

"you sound serious."

"i'm only joking, i promise. i love all our sons and i love you. my beautiful, most wonderful, amazing, gorgeous wife. best girl in the entire world."

"stop with the compliments. i refuse to get pregnant again for another hundred years. not after this one kicked my stomach like a football." you squinted down at kakeru even though his eyes were closed.

"another hundred years?" hajime questioned. "planning on living that long?"

"don't know. i would like to live another hundred years without going through that pain again." you gently moved kakeru from your arms over to hajime's.

"how disappointed do you think the boys will be when they find they have another brother and not a sister?"

"i actually do hate you."

｡+ﾟ☆ﾟ+｡★｡+ﾟ☆ﾟ+｡★｡+ﾟ☆ﾟ+｡★｡+ﾟ☆ﾟ

"so." hiro and kyo were looking down at kakeru who was laying on your bed and cuddled up in blankets. they haven't stopped staring at their new brother since they first saw him.

in the car when you and hajime picked them up from mattsun and makki's, they just looking at the middle seat where kakeru's baby carrier was.

"say something before your mother blames me." hajime said and ruffled their hair. hiro's dinosaur hat dropped from his head and kyo moved further onto the bed.

"at least he isn't crying this time." you gestured to hiro while kyo came closer to you and leaned against your side.

"mom said she's not going to give you guys another sibling for the next hundred years." hajime sat down between kyo and hiro.

"a hundred years?" kyo gasped and peered up at you. "mommy, that's.. a hundred years!" he looked between you and kakeru.

"i know." you nuzzled your nose against his and a smile replaced his gasp.

"can he play yet?" hiro pointed to his new brother and bent down to pick up a stuffed animal from the floor.

"not yet." hajime stole the stuffed monkey from his son. "but you can help change his diaper."

"ew, no." hiro crinkled his nose in disgust. "can i help feed him?"

"maybe in a few months." hajime's eyes dropped to your chest and you flicked his nose. he smiled at you innocently before tossing the monkey stuffed animal over to you.

"guess whats." kyo tugged on your hand, catching everyone's attention except kakeru. "makki and mattsoons are en.. en.." he looked to hiro for help.

"engaged!"

"they're what?"
