Chapter Text
"Hello, princess." You picked up Kaori, spinning her lightly while doing so and placed her back down on the alphabet circle rug. "How was your day today?" You smiled, kneeling down to her height.
"Um... um... um..." She had her face pointed towards the ground, twisting her shoulders lightly as she avoided your gaze. "I um... I went in my pants after nap." Her voice sounded sad.
You couldn't help but smile a bit. She's always been aware of going to the bathroom, so when it happens, which is very rare, she gets pretty upset about it. "Well, that is a-okay. We'll just wash the clothes when we get home. It's no big deal." You smiled and lifted her up, taking note in the different pants she was wearing verses the ones you put her in this morning. "How about we head to the toy store? We can get you one of those new cat plushies that came out."
Her eyes lit up and she began nodding. You chuckled and picked her up. "The clothes are already in my bag." She chirped as you began to sign her out.
"Sounds good. Do you have anything else?" You questioned, straightening out her shirt a bit.
"Nope!" She shook her head. "Tomorrow we're making rocket ships though!" Her eyes once again lit up and she used her arms to flail.
"I'll be looking forward to seeing how you end up making it." You booped her nose and said goodbye to the daycare teachers and some of the little kids as you both walked out of the door hand in hand.

Making your way throughout the toy store, you didn't take any notice to peoples staring. It was normal for you since you were a 22 year old who definitely looked like a 22 year old with a tiny 3 year old child, you got looks all the time but paid no mind to them. Your attention was on Kaori as she picked up anything and everything she could get her hands on from her seat at the top of the cart. "See any ONE thing that you're interested in, besides the plush?" You questioned, pushing the cart around various aisles.
"Ummmmmmmmm." She droned out as her eyes danced around the toys. She went to look back at you when something else had caught her eye. "Um, mommy?"
"What is it dear?" You brought your eyes from the toys to her.
"Daddy?" She raised her hand and pointed passed your shoulder.
It took a moment for your brain to process the word she just said. But once you did, your heart began racing, eyes widening as you turned your head a bit. The sight of a twin revealed itself to you, but he had gray hair and your heart rate decreased, but just slightly.
"Y/N?" Osamu's voice spoke out as he tilted his head a tad and walked towards you, pushing along his cart.
"Hey, Osamu. How's it been?" You spoke out rather quickly, turning your back from Kaori slightly.
He shrugged, "It's been good. But man, has it been a while."
"Well, yeah, you and Atsumu did go to University and all." You gave a small chuckle, relaxing just a tad.
"Yeah, yeah. But oh, who is this little lady?" He smiled towards Kaori, his eyes crinkling.
"I'm Kaori! And I'm 3!" She smiled largely as she held up three of her tiny little fingers, talking proud.
"3?! Well, aren't you a proper young lady." He ruffled her hair, earning a bigger smile, her eyes sparkling.
"I am! Mommy has me in preschool and we're learning letters! I know A, K, M, L, C and O already!" She bared her teeth with her smile, showing a perfect set of full baby teeth.
"That's amazing!" He cooed then brought his attention back to yours with a slight bit of a furrow. "I didn't know you were with someone during our Senior year?"
You widened your eyes a bit, it was no surprise that he was able to calculate that. Struggling to come up with something to say, another voice reached your ears, that of which made your heart rate quicken again. "Oi, 'Samu, who are you talk...ing... to..." His eyes landed on yours as his talking slowed. "Y/N..."
"Oh, hey Atsumu." You gave a gently smile, eyes unable to reach his. "So, I see you both are back home then?"
"Yep! We finished the classes and graduated last week." Osamu spoke up first.
You nodded your head then something else kind of clicked. "Oh, why are you both here? Like, in the kids toy section?"
This time Atsumu spoke up. "We're picking out presents for our cousin's newborn."
"Oh, that sounds fun." You nodded but then Atsumu poked his head around your body.
"A child... Who are you?" His attention turned to your daughter.
"I'm... Kaori..." She spoke out, furrowing her small eyebrows as she looked back and forth between the twins, confusion clouding her mind.
"Well, hello Kaori." He smiled. "I'm Atsumu. We look so similar because we're twin brothers. So, you don't have to be so confused." He chuckled out then turned his gaze to yours with a hint of question. "How old is she?"
"Oh, um..." You paused hesitantly but Osamu then had spoken up.
"She said she's 3, right?" Osamu questioned as he started twirling his fingers around her low ponytails.
"Y-yeah." You chuckled awkwardly, fiddling a bit with Kaori's foot.
"Awe, is that so?" Atsumu smiled at her but then you could see something had clicked with the way he turned his head and looked at you.
"Yeah, yeah. Well, we should probably get going. Have to make dinner and such. I'll see you both around!" You spoke out quickly and began heading to the register with whatever Kaori had in her hands at the moment.
"You got it!" Osamu waved.
"Wait! Do you still have the same number?" Atsumu quickly yelled and you paused then turned to him, nodding your head. "Good. I'll uh, catch up with you later then." You gave another nod then checked out at the register, heading home.
Is this really happening?
