"It's fine...can you just tell me what's wrong?" Bokuto asked.

It was around 7 in the morning and (Y/n) had still not woken up. All the doctors were busy and couldn't even see him.

The 4 men were left in confusion after the whole scare and it was even worse since the doctors just took (Y/n) and left them in the dark.

It actually took the whole children's ward by surprise.

It was only a miracle how Kiyoomi was able to park the car properly. He swerved into the hospital driveway.

"THERE! THERE!" Atsumu was tapping the man's shoulder violently as the tyres made a screech sound with the car coming to a swift hault.

It was almost like a scene from those spy movies, Kiyoomi was legit the best driver.

They all hopped out of the hospital speeding in as the sliding door almost failed to open at their pace.

"Si-"

"SOMEONE COME HERE NOW" Bokuto bellowed making the few people there move in his direction.

"What happened!?" A nurse asked.

"DON'T ASK SO MANY DAMN QUESTIONS- TAKE HER" Atsumu yelled dragging the man close to them.

"Check her pulse!" A female nurse rushed over to their side.

After some pulse checking, the woman's face twisted into an expression Bokuto did not like.

"Wh-what what's that!" He frowned "what's with the face!?"

"She- her pulse is really weak!"

"WELL STRENGTHEN IT" Bokuto yelled at the man who tried to calm him.

"Bokuto, please calm-"

"I AM CALM"

"We're gonna treat her right now sir. Calm down" the woman reassured walking away with the toddler.

"Hey- Where are you- WHAT'S GOING ON!" Shoyo yelled, they were all confused as hell.

"They're taking her for tests"

"Forget the damn tests" Sakusa yelled, grabbing the man's collars "FIX HER" he yelled, shaking the nurse.

It just showed how serious the whole ordeal was, even Sakusa was finding it hard to keep his cool.

You couldn't blame them. They had the greatest scare and honestly, Shoyo thought she died.

After calming them down, the men found themselves in the waiting area.

And it was then, they all realized what they looked like.

Atsumu was shirtless with green basketball shorts, a collagen face mask on his face and no shoes

Shoyo had a white tank and white pajama pants that had yellow smiley faces all over. No shoes

Bokuto was shirtless, with grey sweats on. Also, no shoes.

But Sakusa had on an expensive-ass silk Pyjama set. With a matching eye-mask around his neck. His intricately styled black curls were knotty and a whole mess. Also. No shoes.

"Oh god.. is- is this how I left the house?" Shoyo whispered covering his face in shame.

"At least you have a shirt on" Atsumu rolled his eyes rubbing his freezing nipples.

"Can you not do that in public?" Asked Sakusa, eyeing his collegue.

"Wanna do it for me, Omi-Kun?" Winked Atsumu, making Sakusa blush and huff.

"I don't think this is the best time to flirt" Shoyo commented, pointing at Bokuto who was staring at the floor, a void of emotion.

"Don't worry man... she's fine" Sakusa exhaled patting the man's back.

"O-omi-omi... that- are you sure?" He asked, teary eyed.

This made Sakusa wince. First reason was the fact that he'd never seen Bokuto like that, and the second was...he didn't know.

"Of course! She's the strongest 3 year old we know!" Shoyo beamed. "Just hang tight-"

"I've brought you some cl-"

"I know you!" Shoyo gasped pointing at the man who was holding spare shirts.

"Oh.. Hey" Smiled the man who dropped the hospital slippers on the floor. "And they're clean."

"He's shi- sho-"

"Shirabu" He corrected "and yeah. You gave us all quite a scare you know"

"Will she be alright?" Asked Bokuto who began putting on the shirt, not caring where they were from.

"I don't know...sorry"

"WHAT!? AREN'T YOU A DOCTOR" Atsumu yelled.

"Med-student. Intern. We don't really do much" He shrugged. "I was just told to- I gotta go"

"WAIT! WHAT ABOUT (Y/N)!?"

◇

That question was not answered.

"Your daughter passed out due to mass exhaustion. But now that we're here, I have a few questions" the doctor stated. "I know you're eager to see her."

"Sure.. just- let's make this quick"

"You said your daughter had a fever, yes?" The doctor asked.

"Yeah" Bokuto nodded "but she's been having nightmares recently."

"Nightmares...every kid gets those" The doctor muttered "you say she was adopted?"

"Yeah she was.. about 4 months ago I think" the father responded.

"I see... well. The household she came from, was it.."

"It was bad, Doctor. Real bad."

"Do you think her nightmares are a result from that?" Asked the doctors.

"I- obviously!" The man stated in a 'duh' tone

"Well, have you done anything about it, Mr. Bokuto?"

"I...yeah I stay with her when-"

"I mean, Professional help." He said.

This made Bokuto come to a realization. He never actually considered the fact that her old family still remained in her memories.

He was so hell-bent on making new ones that he forgot there were already old ones drilled in her brain.

"Um.."

"Of course." The doctor scoffed "I'll reccomend her going to Child-Therapy."

"Alright." He nodded feeling absolutely dejected.

"The fever is being treated and I'll prescribe some small amounts of melatonin. I suggest she takes therapy so she won't rely on the medicine too much"

"Yeah thanks.."

"That will be all." The doctor said curtly and Bokuto left immediately.

✯✿✿✯

"Hey, Bokuto!" Someone called. There was a lady standing right in front of him. Heavily pregnant.

"Oh- it's you...wow you're uh.. you've gone far" He stated, he didn't know how exactly to put his words without offending the pregnant woman.

"Yup! I'll be under labour any time now" she shrugged "so.. what's- why are you here?" She asked.

"Oh my daughter passed out last night" He stated "it was....quite a scare for all of us"

"Yeah... I can see, no shoes." She chuckled "we're on the same boat" she joked, pointing at her bare feet.

"Mhm.."

"

You look out of it" she commented

"I am... parenting is hard" He stated "I thought it knew what I was doing but...damn"

"Aww" she chuckled "alright then. Bring it in." She smiled spreading her arms motioning for him to hug her.

"Huh?"

"You know being pregnant makes me all sappy and I'm also pretty comfy" she joked "come here big guy"

Reluctantly, Bokuto gave In and hugged the nice pregnant lady, letting out a sigh. It was pretty awkward due to the height difference- and the obvious baby bump.

"I gotta go check if (Y/n) is awake now" He sighed "thanks for the hug man" he smiled.

"Alright! Let's go" she mirrored his grin.

"Huh?"

"Let's go- I've never seen her in person" She shrugged.

"Oh uh- okay let me help you to-" Bokuto fumbled with his words trying to help her around to the room.

"Get off me Bokuto! I'm pregnant, not crippled" She smacked his arms.

They both walked in casual silence to the room and Bokuto opened the door first letting out a loud gasp.

"CUPCAKE YOU'RE AWAKE" He yelled.

She was crying, but she made grabby hands at him as she whined while he rushed to her side.

Her next words made his heart melt.

"D-daddy!" She cried as Bokuto wrapped his arms around her.

"Did she j-" Atsumu gaped.

"She did-"

"Of course! It's me Cupcake- it's daddy" He laughed patting her back as he hugged her tightly. "It's okay honey, it's alright"

"Aw~ she's so cute! The baby fever's back" The woman smiled as a tear rolled down her cheek.

"I-"

"Is that-"

"Shi- Tana- Sen- Kiyoko-San!?!" Shoyo hopped off his seat "How did- come sit down!" He uttered frantically, trying to help her inside.

"I'm fine!" She huffed "is that (Y/n)?! She's so precious I think I'm gonna cry!"

"You're already crying"

After (Y/n) had calmed down the noticed Kiyoko smiling at her.

"Hey honey" Kiyoko waved, moving up to the girl's bed.

"Your tummy's big" she commented making Bokuto laugh and Omi facepalm.

"Mhm!" Kiyoko nodded, "it's because I'm carrying a baby"

"A....baby" the toddler's eyes widened "where is it?"

"Inside my tummy" the lady explained, tapping her belly.

"...did you eat a baby?" (Y/n) asked, looking a bit...creeped out.

"Oh no... I uh- it's because I wanted to be a mommy! So I got a baby in my tummy. He'll be here soon" she explained. Leaving out all the juicy details 🥴.

"When?"

"Any moment now" she smiled "you wanna feel my tummy?"

"Mhm" she nodded sheepishly.

The whole ordeal made Bokuto want to melt. He grinned like an idiot as (Y/n) rubbed Kiyoko's bump with such a curious expression.

The girl got a little more confident and put both hands on the bump. She flinched as she felt a small kick on her left hand.

"He kicked" Kiyoko giggled at the child's expression.

"Why?" She asked, she began to think this baby was a mean one.

"Just to show you he can feel your hand"

"KIYO- KIYOKO" a man yelled stomping into the room.

"And the loud husband" Sakusa grumbled.

"Hey man!" Atsumu smiled.

"Tanaka-San!" Shoyo waved.

"Huh- what's going on?" The man asked dumbfounded.

"I found a cute girl and- she's so cute I think I'll start crying again" Kiyoko explained.

"Aw.. baby, you've been gone a while and I got worried" The man exhaled shakily. "And the doctor told you to put on your sli-"

"But the tiles are cold!" She whined.

"Please?"

"No."

"Is the baby gonna come now?" The toddler broke the silence.

"Cupcake we have to be patient."

"I wanna see him now. Please?"

"My heart" Atsumu whispered.

After some long child-friendly explanations, Tanaka managed to divert the topic of discussion

✯¸.•'*¨'*•✿ ✿•*'¨*'•.¸✯

"Mhm?" Bokuto smiled at her, he could barely keep his eyes open.

"Come.." she said tapping the bed.

"Cupcake that's your bed, I'm okay on the chair."

"share...please?" She pouted.

"Ugh... I can't say no to that face" Bokuto groaned. "Alright, scoot over. Your dad's a big guy."

After some movements Bokuto managed to squeeze himself on the bed with his daughter snug on his chest.

"you know, sweetie. You can't call me Kou anymore okay?" He smirked.

"Mhm." She shrugged trying to adjust her position.

"Don't worry honey. I'll be the best dad ever okay. And I promise you won't have any scary dreams anymore okay?" He spoke hoarsely. He could barely keep himself away.

"Promise?" She asked, beady eyes boring into his.

"I promise!" He grinned. "Now go to sleep. You're not supposed to fight the melatonin"

Not understanding much of what he said, she nodded and fell asleep a little while later.

Bokuto was excited, yes.

The fact that she was okay! Then also the fact that she called her dad.

But Bokuto was beyond exhausted. He couldn't even express it. What he needed was sleep.

He could rest easy. His teammates were home, asleep probably and everything was good
