Chapter 17 - Chapter 17 – Morning After, Awakening Reflections, and Pregnancy Realization

The first rays of sunlight spilled across Momo's mansion, glinting softly off the polished wooden floors and catching in the fine dust that danced lazily in the golden beams. The air was warm but gentle, carrying the faint scent of baked bread and brewing tea from the kitchen. The mansion had an unusual calm to it, a quiet that felt almost sacred after the tension and heat of the previous night.

Izuku stirred first, stretching slightly on the sofa where he had spent the night after training. The blankets were draped loosely around him, and he could hear soft movement from the nearby rooms—Ochaco, Shoko, and the faintest, almost melodic hum from Rei, who had quietly returned earlier in the night.

Ochaco stirred, yawning softly, her hair falling over her shoulders like a curtain of brown silk. She rolled over to face him, shyly peeking at him. "Morning… Izuku," she whispered, her voice a mixture of sleepiness and something warmer, more intimate. Her small hand brushed against his forearm as she adjusted the blanket around her, and the system hummed faintly in response, logging devotion and emotional closeness.

He smiled gently. "Morning, Ochaco… you sleep well?"

She nodded, cheeks tinged with pink. "Yeah… better than I expected." Her voice wavered slightly, and she glanced toward Shoko, who was sitting quietly, wrapped in her quilt, eyes half-lidded but aware.

Izuku's gaze followed hers. "Shoko… you okay?"

Shoko's lips parted slightly, a faint flush rising to her cheeks. "I…think so. I just…was thinking." Her fingers brushed absently along the quilt's edge, and the system hummed again, sensing the pulse of potential awakening energy. She remembered the subtle shiver and warmth that had coursed through her body the night before—the ice of her quirk tingling, reacting to her emotional arousal.

Flashback 1 – Shoko's Awakening

The previous night played in her mind, vivid and impossible to ignore. She had lain awake, hearing Ochaco's soft murmurs and Izuku's comforting presence, feeling a warmth in her chest and a pulse of tingling along her arms and legs. Her ice quirk had responded, shimmering faintly along her skin, reacting to the mix of longing, nervousness, and burgeoning desire she felt.

I can't…this is…different, she had whispered to herself, fingers tracing lightly over her own skin. Every shiver, every pulse of warmth, every faint gasp she had given silently had been logged by the system, marking her as ready for full awakening once she interacted more intimately with Izuku.

Ochaco, noticing Shoko's blush, leaned closer, her shoulder brushing Shoko's. "You're blushing," she teased softly, and Shoko's reaction was immediate—a small gasp and a deeper flush. The system hummed approvingly, recording the emotional resonance and teasing interaction as yet another spike in awakening potential.

Flashback 2 – Ochaco's Awakening

Ochaco remembered the previous evening vividly too. Sitting beside Izuku, blanket over both of them, her pulse had been wild, her chest tightening as he had brushed a strand of hair behind her ear. She remembered the warmth pooling low in her body, the shiver that ran through her spine at his words of reassurance.

I like being close to him… I trust him… she had whispered, and her quirk, subtly weather-based, had reacted, a faint fluttering in the air around her that she couldn't explain but felt deeply in her bones. That moment had cemented her emotional connection and marked her first significant devotion spike.

Flashback 3 – Isabella's Awakening & Pregnancy Realization

Meanwhile, Rei had woken during the night, the faint afterglow of last night's intimacy lingering in her mind and body. She had pressed herself closer to Izuku while he slept, fingers brushing over her own skin, teasing herself as the faint pulse of his presence and the system's hum coursed through her.

Then she had felt it—a subtle, undeniable awareness deep in her abdomen. She froze, realizing the system had already begun allocating her pregnancy metrics. Her mind raced, heart hammering. Four small pulses of life, the system informed her, the inherited fertility from Izuku's unique DNA ensuring multiples.

Four children… from him… she whispered, both awe-struck and overwhelmed. Her body tingled from head to toe, quirk lingering faintly around her like a warm aura. She pressed a hand to her abdomen, feeling the faint life pulses registered by the system, and the blush rose to her cheeks.

The system hummed softly, the devotion metrics spiking further due to the shared intimacy, the pregnancy trigger, and her growing emotional attachment. She let out a breathless whisper, barely audible: "Izuku… I… I'm yours… completely."

Morning Breakfast – Present

The three women and Izuku eventually gathered in the dining area for breakfast. Ochaco poured tea, Shoko quietly sat beside Izuku, and Rei, still faintly flushed and glowing from both the pregnancy realization and previous intimacy, moved to the table with a soft, graceful motion.

Dialogue flowed naturally:

Ochaco teased Shoko: "You've been quiet all morning… thinking about last night, huh?"

Shoko's eyes flickered away, cheeks warming. "N…no! I just…uh…was sleepy."

Rei's eyes lingered on Izuku, a soft, contented smile curving her lips. "Breakfast smells amazing… thank you," she murmured, though internally she could barely focus, still processing the news of her pregnancy and the four children growing because of their unique system.

Izuku smiled, heart swelling at the subtle chaos of emotion, devotion, and anticipation all around him. "I…want everyone to feel at home here," he said softly. "We're all together now… and I'll make sure no one feels left out."

The chapter ended with a quiet, warm scene: sunlight spilling over the table, the soft hum of the system weaving through the room, and the first hints of deepening bonds between Izuku and his harem members. Awakening metrics, devotion spikes, and pregnancy indicators were subtly integrated, promising long-term growth and intimacy for each member.
