Chapter 2 - Reborn

I died.

The fun field trip that I was anxiously anticipating, had ended in a car crash that had flipped me to the cliff of the highway.

I wonder where I'll go. I wasn't very religious so I don't think I'll end up in heaven or hell but I also don't believe in reincarnation. Maybe I'll just be a particle floating in the universe overlooking nothingness. Not that I don't mind that as I would rather stare at billions of stars and planets; because all I saw right now was blackness. Is this my punishment for what I've done in my life or is there really a God thatโ€”

"NO! I MESSED UP!"

"Please, please, please, please! Don't go that way! Turn around~ the other way~" it sounded like a woman who was trying to persuade a toddler to not walk away from her.

"Oh noโ€ฆ"

That was the last thing that he remember before he opened his eyes and was blinded by a strong light. Smelling the strong odor of a hospital while trying to adjust his blurry vision. Thinking that maybe he had survived and he had made it to a hospital, he tried to move his head but it felt too heavy. So he tried to move his hands, and he was able to; same with his legs, but then he tried to at least move an inch of his entire body before someone put a hand beside his torso.

"Shush, shush, shush. You sure like to move little man~" A woman was cooing to a baby.

He was thinking and with that thinking, he came to a conclusion but that conclusion was OBVIOUSLY not the correct conclusion.

In a few seconds, he had finally regained his vision and he was able to see a white ceiling but when he looked to his left, a blond woman was standing right up in his face. Surprised and confused he tried to question her or at least make things a little less awkward from the way she was just staring at him.

"Bah. Bah bah? Bahโ€ฆ"

โ€ฆ๐˜•๐˜ฐโ€ฆ

"Oh! How cute, look Hina! He is only 4 months and he is already babbling!"

The woman above him was excitedly calling out to another nurse in the room, wanting to show off the baby that she had been taking care of.

This proves his conclusion to be right.

He was a baby. He had been reborn.

The other nurse finally showed up in front of him and was cooing at him but he didn't react. Instead, he just stared at the woman like she was dumb. Dumb for trying to coo at him who was obviously not reacting to their fascination with him. The nurse looked at him a little concerned, seeing that he wasn't reacting the same way he used to before but soon they were distracted when they hear people coming into the room.

"Mr. Todoroki, you're here early than I had expected. Hehe, I guess you are eager to take your baby."

๐˜ž๐˜๐˜ˆ๐˜›โ€”

"I'm just trying to be punctual." Todoroki had said in a stern tone.

He was trying to take a peak but he forgot that he was inside a crib and wasn't able to see anything aboveโ€”either way, he wouldn't be able to move his head. Overwhelmed by the situation, he started to babble.

"Aww, he is also excited to see you!" one of the nurses said.

๐˜–๐˜ฉ ๐˜ฑ๐˜ญ๐˜ฆ๐˜ข๐˜ด๐˜ฆ, ๐˜ซ๐˜ถ๐˜ด๐˜ต ๐˜ญ๐˜ฆ๐˜ต ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ด๐˜ฆ๐˜ฆ ๐˜บ๐˜ฐ๐˜ถ๐˜ณ ๐˜ง๐˜ข๐˜ค๐˜ฆ ๐˜›๐˜ฐ๐˜ฅ๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฌ๐˜ช!

"HAHAHAHA! Would you look at that, Endeavor! The kid likes you too!" an awfully ๐˜ง๐˜ข๐˜ฎ๐˜ช๐˜ญ๐˜ช๐˜ข๐˜ณ laugh resonated in the room. The 'laughing' man came into view and a blond man stood with a big, really big smile. Who else could that man be other than All Might.

Endeavor followed right after and stared down at the baby.

The 'baby' froze. Staring hard at both of them with his mouth agape.

โ€ฆ๐˜ธ๐˜ฉ๐˜ข๐˜ต?

That wasn't Todoroki Shoto but instead, it was his father who looked a little bit younger than what he remembered him to be. Next to him stood All Might with a more youthful appearance.

"Who says who's happy? The thing looks terrified to death." Endeavor said.

"Come on. Anyways, what is his name?" All Might asked him.

Endeavor, still staring at the baby, said in a monotone voice. "Yuki. Todoroki Yuki."

"Oh, that's a lovely name." the nurses complimented him.

"...You just came up with that name, right?" All Might sighed.

The man in question did not respond but instead went and got the baby carrier ready.

"Sir, please remember to feed him every three to four hours and change his diapers. Also, when cleaning him make sure to clean all between his neck because some people forget thโ€”" one of the nurses was informing Endeavor about the basics of a baby before she was interrupted by the other nurse.

"Don't worry Hina, Mr. Todoroki already has 5 children and the youngest one is the same age as Yuki."

๐˜ˆ๐˜ฉ๐˜ฉโ€ฆ ๐˜ด๐˜ฐ ๐˜'๐˜ฎ ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ด๐˜ข๐˜ฎ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ข๐˜จ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ข๐˜ด ๐˜š๐˜ฉ๐˜ฐ๐˜ต๐˜ฐโ€ฆ

The baby, who has now a name, was gaining new information. First of all, it doesn't seem like he is Enji Todoroki's biological child, so he was being adopted. Second of all, why is he going into adoption when he already has five children? Third of all, this never happened in the original story.

Endeavor took Yuki out of his crib and was buckling him up onto the baby carrier. Saying his farewells and thank yous to the nurses, he started to walk down to his car.

Once they arrived in the car, he learned the answer to his second question.

Why was he adopting a baby?

Well, because of a ๐˜ฃ๐˜ฆ๐˜ต.

While Endeavor was on the phone, which he put on loudspeaker, he heard someone making fun of him. They were making fun of him for making a 'ridiculous bet' on taking care of another baby or more like they were betting him on "I bet you would never adopt a baby in need?"...

โ€ฆ๐˜'๐˜ฎ ๐˜ง๐˜ถ๐˜ค๐˜ฌ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜จ ๐˜ฃ๐˜ฆ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜จ ๐˜ข๐˜ฅ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฑ๐˜ต๐˜ฆ๐˜ฅ ๐˜ฐ๐˜ท๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ ๐˜ข ๐˜ฃ๐˜ฆ๐˜ต. ๐˜ˆ ๐˜ฃ๐˜ฆ๐˜ต.

Yuki stared into space while contemplating his life of a few hours. Not believing that he was in an anime, he was reborn, he was being adopted into the Todoroki family, and once again in an anime.

While he was in his thoughts he started to hear a slight whisper that made him flinch.

"๐‚๐š๐งโ€”๐ฆ๐žโ€”?๐‡โ€”๐œ๐š๐ง ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎโ€”"

Quickly glancing around the car he saw nobody, so he looked over to Endeavor to see if he had heard something but it seemed like he was too concentrated on the road.

Maybe he was imagining thingsโ€ฆ
