"Man they really wore themselves out.", whispered Nami as she took in the sleeping children.
"What do expect after they ran around outside for hours. At least it was good endurance training for Livy."
"Is that all you think about?", questioned the redhead.
"What's wrong with wanting her to be strong?"
"Shishishi, I think Ace is getting better with his wind powers.", added Luffy.
"Oh yeah, sorry about the trees Robin."
"Don't worry Nami, Olivia and Zoro normally take down more than that in an hour.", chuckled Robin.
The two sets of parents watched as their children slept in a clumsy embrace. The Roronoa girl was propped up against the couch with Ace's head resting on her lap, her hand draped over the boy's hip. Bella had her head on the swordsman's shoulder while her arms wrapped around the older girl's torso. Her right hand had found its way to her brother's as the two held on to each other in their slumber.
"We should probably take them to bed.", said Zoro, not wanting his daughter resting with a guy's head in her lap.
"But they look so peaceful Zoro, why don't we let them stay together tonight. You know how much they've missed one another.", suggested the historian as she looked at the content expressions on the trio's faces.
"Yeah Zoro, just let 'em sleep.", added Luffy as he reached to stroke his kids' hair. "Bell and Ace look happy being with Liv.", smiled the pirate king.
"Fine, but just for tonight."
Click. "What are you doing Nami?"
"Oh just capturing the moment.", replied the navigator innocently as she snapped a couple more shots of the cute scene. This will definitely come in handy the next time those two try to skip out on chores. And, they do look pretty adorable all curled up together., thought Nami.
"So what now guys?", asked Luffy.
"I'm thinking bed."
"But Zoro...", whined the captain.
"No buts Luff, it's already past midnight, so unless you want to clean up the mess in the living room, Robin and I are going to bed."
"Yeah Luffy, I'm pretty tired too.", added Nami as she wrapped her arms around her husband's neck. "Let's get some peace and quiet before the kids are back to full strength in the morning."
"Aw, alright Nami."
"Thanks.", replied Nami, giving the straw-hatted man as quick kiss on the cheek.
"You two are welcome to any of the guest rooms.", said Robin as she reentered the living room. The archaeologist had just returned with spare blankets to make sure the kids didn't catch a cold while they slept downstairs.
"Sounds good, see you guys in the morning." Nami bent down to give both her children a kiss on the cheek before letting her husband lead her upstairs to their usual room.
"Sweet dreams my love.", whispered the historian as she tucked the trio in, reaching out to brush Olivia's hair back so she could caress her tanned cheek.
"You ready for bed?", asked the swordsman, his hand finding Robin's and squeezing.
"Yes, lets go." Turning off the downstairs lights, the Roronoas headed to own bedroom, following the Monkeys example. After shedding their outer clothes the two crawled under the warm covers and held each other, reveling in the warmth only their partner's body could provide. As Zoro lay there, Robin already drifting into sleep, he thought about how nice it was having a full house of people he truly cared about. Man, Robin and Livy really have made me soft if I'm thinking like that., thought the one-eyed man, making him laugh.
"What's so funny?", questioned the sleepy historian. The movement from Zoro's chuckle disrupting her slumber.
"Nothing, just thinking."
"Would you like to talk about it? Robin turned her head up so that her tired blue eyes could meet Zoro's onyx one.
"Nah, it can wait 'til morning.", said Zoro as he pressed a kiss to his wife's lips. "Get some sleep Babe."
"Alright, good night."
"Night." Maybe filling this place up some more wouldn't be so bad. With that in mind the sword wielder nodded off, holding his beloved as his mind drifted into dreams of tiny hands and feet with brightly colored toys. I bet Livy would be a great big...
