For pearl, one year of awesomeness

Epilogue

It has been a quiet morning, so when his men stirred before noon Shanks was mildly alarmed. But when a familiar slender hand pushed the opening of his tent to the side he closed his eyes again while a grin grew on his lips.

"You're almost cute when you pretend to sleep."

Shanks open one eye and grinned even wider. "I never pretended to sleep, my love. Just waiting for you to join me down here."

With a small chuckle Mihawk slipped out of her cloak and under his covers. Not a second later Shanks was hovering above her, planting a small kiss on her lips.

"Good morning. You are wearing an awful lot of clothing." Mihawk just shook her head. She should have waited outside for him to join her.

"And you are still an awful lot of drunk, handsome. Before we celebrate though, don't you want to know what we are celebrating?" Shanks blinked a few times, trying to remember today's date.

"We are celebrating something specific? Erm… it's not our birthday… It's not our anniversary… it's not Luffy's birthday…" Then his eyes snapped open.

"You are not pregnant, are you?" Mihawk closed her eyes to keep calm but couldn't help a small smile.

"No, calm down…" She opened her eyes again and looked straight in his.

"But it is about our little one." She leaned over to her coat once more and pulled a piece of paper out of it while Shanks kept mumbling about how he hadn't been freaked out to begin with.

"Here, take a look at this. He's really doing it, Shanks." Confused Shanks took the paper out of her hand and with a few seconds delay a toothy grin spread on his face. Then he jumped up and was out of the tent in seconds.

"He's done it! EVERYONE! Luffy's officially a pirate now!"

Mihawk stepped out of the tent behind him just in time to see Benn shake his head while turning away from Shanks' lack of covering.

"Let's hope Luffy's wearing clothes at least…"

Thank you all for reviewing on the last chapter, I really wasn't sure about it then. There won't be a continuation like there was with ONE but this epilogue I think goes very well along with the oneshot and give some kind of closure :) I hope you enjoyed this small extra bit!

I was glad I could thank you guys for your feedback :)

Until next time! :D
