Despite being a U.A. student, everyone saw you as a cold and unapproachable girl. You didn't talk to anyone, avoided any attempt at connection, and never sought company. This attitude made many people hate you and consider you arrogant. It was then that the nickname that would follow you everywhere emerged: "Hollow Shadow." Your classmates used it without hesitation, other students did too, the teachers repeated it, and even Nezu and All Might mentioned it casually.
But none of them knew the reason behind your behavior.
From a young age, you had lived under constant abuse. Your parents took out their frustration on you: yelling, hitting, and unjust punishments. Until the neighbors, tired of hearing about your suffering, called the police. Your parents were arrested, and you ended up living with an aunt you had never met. But by then, you didn't trust anyone anymore. Even so, deep down, you longed for someone who could love you unconditionally.
One day, in Aizawa's class, you started feeling sick. The nausea was so intense that you had to leave immediately and run to the bathroom, where you vomited. Uncomfortable and scared, you decided to go to the hospital after school.
They ran several tests, and the doctor returned with a folder in his hand.
Doctor: “I have the results… and I need you to listen to this calmly. You're pregnant. Approximately two months along.”
The world seemed to stop. It made no sense. The doctor continued in a soft voice:
Doctor: “We know you haven't had sex. We discovered unusual activity in your second Quirk. It can cause a spontaneous pregnancy if your emotions become extremely intense. It's rare, but possible.”
You froze. Then, a warm feeling spread through your chest. For the first time, you felt hope. That baby would be your family, someone you could love and protect. You decided to keep everything a secret.
From that day on, you stopped training intensely. You avoided dangerous missions and focused on helping the wounded. You got a job as a supermarket cashier with short shifts. You experienced mood swings, constant hunger, and a deep desire to protect what was growing inside you. A month later, during an ultrasound, the doctor smiled gently.
Doctor: “Congratulations… you’re having a girl.”
That simple sentence ignited something within you. You thought about brushing her hair, holding her, giving her what you never had.
Two months passed. Five months of pregnancy, almost imperceptible.
One afternoon, you were in the dormitory common room eating vanilla ice cream when everyone started gathering. Bakugo placed a piece of paper on the table: a copy of your ultrasound.
You stared at it. Your hand moved on its own to your belly, as if protecting it from the world. And a single question formed in your mind: Do they already know I’m pregnant?
