The Father of My Child

Chapter 3: It's all so crazy.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

It was early in the morning since last nights indecent with brook and her and Luffy's talk. The suns light could be seen peaking out over the ocean as Nami sat near the top of sunny's head. For a long time it was a habit of hers coming here next to her Captains spot. She had woken up rather early for no reason at all other than too many thoughts in her head and feeling too happy to sleep in.

She had no where to go today and pretty much had nothing planned. Yesterday her and Luffy went to check this months sperm donors list and unfortunately, found nothing once again. So now its going to be another thirty days until she'll check back in again. Why was Nami happy? She really didn't know herself or, at least not for sure. Her mind kept thinking back to her and Luffys talk under the clock tower and on their way home, just before they saw brook and the crew run out on deck. So a good guess was that it had something to do with that talk.

Nami took in a deep breath before letting it go and running her fingers through her hair. "I never knew Luffy wanted his own kid." Talking to herself about the information she was told last night through her and Luffys short conversation.

Last night as Luffy and Nami made their way from the sperm bank and back to the thousand sunny.

Luffy asked Nami a question. "Nami? What kind of kid do you want anyway?"

She was still resting her head on Luffy's shoulder, Captain and Navigator still locked together by laced fingers. "Hmm. I guess I wouldn't really care if it was a boy or a girl. But I do want my baby to always be smiling. Happy and laughing all the time."

"What else?" The ship could be seen off in the distance, thanks to the full moon lighting up the city.

"Well." Nami let out a sigh. Thinking of what else she wants in her child. "I want my baby to be strong. Able to fight off anyone and keep its loved ones safe. To be able to make a lot friends and sail around the world. Just like me."

Luffy smiled. "Shihsishi! Who knows? Your kid might be the next Pirate King!"

Nami lightly elbowed him. "Or the first Pirate Queen." But then a thought occurred to her. "You know, Luffy. If you married someone, they'll become the first Pirate Queen." The thought of Hancock came back into mind. She quickly lifted her head from his shoulder in a panic. "Not that you should get married or anything!"

Luffy looked at her confused. "Why shouldn't I get married? You're not the only one who wants kids."

"You really want kids?" But before Luffy could answer, a bunch of crashes and bangs could be heard on board the thousand sunny. "What the heck is that all about?!" Just then, they saw Brook jump on top of the crows nest with the rest of the straw hats out on deck.

Back near the head of the thousand sunny. Nami staring off out into the endless ocean.

The sun was staring to rise a little higher when she heard the rest of the crew awake, the first ones out the boys door being Sanji followed by Franky. "Good morning!" She waved to them.

"Morning Nami-san! Are you ready for yours and Robin-chawns magnificent breakfast?!" The cook wiggling his way over towards the kitchen.

But before Nami could answer, Franky started pushing the cook faster into the kitchen. "You mind hurrying it up Bro? I gotta a bunch of new SUPER ideas for the baby proofing ship, and Usopps going to need all his energy after spending it yesterday!" A big smile on the shipwrights face as both of them entered the kitchen.

Once entering, they both saw the swordsman of the group standing at his post with his arms crossed and his one good eye fixated on their crazy skeleton crew mate. Brook was VERY tied up while sitting at the back of the table. Just staring back at Zoro before noticing two of his friends walking in. "Can you please untie these ropes? I don't know what came over me last night, but I assure you that I feel much better now."

Sanji made his way to his cooking station while ignoring the skeleton. "So, did brook try and escape at all last night?" The blond asked but received no answer from the swordsman. Sanji waited for a few seconds before trying again. "Hey shitty swordsman, I asked you if brook tried to get out last night." He was getting the things ready for breakfast while waiting for an answer only to be ignored again. He let out a frustrated sigh while dropping what he was doing to walk over towards Zoro. "Are you ignoring me because I launched you into the mast when I tried to kick you at brook last night?"

Zoro just kept staring straight ahead at brook, not even acknowledging the cook.

Sanji was staring to get mad. "Oh stop being such a child about it, I said it was an accident! Well, mostly an accident. I thought smashing your face into the mast would get rid of that scary face of yours." Letting out a small chuckle and smile.

Franky was busy getting a cola from the fridge before commenting. "I don't think he can hear you bro."

At this point, Sanji got right in his face, the blond one revealed eye staring into Zoro non scarred one. "I guess that ugly ass seaweed hair finally clogged up his ears!" Sanji was waiting for him to react to the insult only to hear something like a... snore? The cook squinted his eyes while leaning close to the swordsmans face. "Are you... sleeping?"

… snore...

Brooks jaw fell open with surprise. "And I thought I could go along time without blinking. Although I don't have eye lids to blink."

Both Sanji and Franky stared at brook as if waiting for something.

Brook just stared back at them for a few seconds before, "What?"

"Aren't you going to say skull joke?" Franky asked while using a finger to lift his sunglasses.

Brook just tilted his head with a frown. "What's a skull joke?"

Sanji's eye grew big for a second before just walking back to just start making breakfast. "Man, Chopper better hurry up with finding out whats wrong with you."

Franky finished off his morning cola and started making his way out of the kitchen. "Well I'm gonna go wake up Usopp and Chopper. They asked me to get them up around this time." Franky made his way out the door and looked over the deck. Nami was still standing next to sunnys head while Robin seem to be reading a book on one of the deck chairs. He then went inside the boys room.

Nami was still standing there with her thoughts until she heard the yawn of her captain. She turned around with a sweet smile before waving Luffy to come over. "Morning Captain! Sanji just now went in to make breakfast so its going to be awhile before he's done. You wanna talk?"

Luffy returned the smile except it was his always, face splitting grin. "Morning Nami! Really?" Luffy asked about the food with a frown on his face. "Sanji needs to start waking up earlier!" He pouted as he made his way over towards Nami near Sunnys head.

Her eyes followed him as he walked towards her and almost past her. Luffy seem to be going to sit on the ships head but Nami didn't want that. So she reached out and grabbed his upper arm. "I was hoping we could talk face to face instead of me yelling over the railing like usual." Nami then let out a small laugh. "It's not like how it used to be on the going merry."

"Yeah, I guess you're right. Okay!" Luffy stood next to her before dropping to sit on the ground and placing his legs through the railing. Then he looked up at his navigator. "What do you wanna talk about?"

Nami just looked at him for a second before shrugging her shoulders and deciding to sit next to her captain in the same fashion as him. After scooting closer to Luffy and slipping her legs through the railings; causing both their legs to hang freely from the ship, Nami let out a deep sigh before asking, "Its really crazy, isn't it?"

Luffy just kept his grin. "What is?" His head leaning to the side with it resting on the railing while facing Nami, who was on his right.

"All of this." She stated with her gaze going back to the ocean. "Everything you and me,... and everyone else have been through. All the friends we made, the people we beat." She then did the same as Luffy, resting her head on the railing in front of her and truing to look at him. "All the smiles you gave me. All the blood, sweat, tears and near heart attacks from you going off and doing things without thinking. All the..," Nami paused to find the right word. "Fantastical... places we've seen. Just thinking back on it now, it all seems so damn crazy. Never in my life, my wildest dreams would I have thought this is where I would end up."

"Are you happy?" Luffy asked with a very serious face.

Nami stared into his eyes. Thinking for a few seconds at the serious question. But a few seconds for her meant a few minutes to Luffy, thanks to the fidgeting he was displaying. So she decided to hurry and answer him. "Yes, my Captain. I'm happy that you've shown me all these wonderful things." Nami reached over with her left hand and placed it over Luffys.

Luffy smiled and opened his hand so they can lock their fingers together, just like they did when walking home to sunny last night. "I don't know why you're thanking me. You're the one who got us to all those awesome places! Without you, we wouldn't have made it anywhere near the grand line. Let alone me becoming the pirate king."

Nami felt so proud of herself after hearing Luffys words. "Well? Aren't you going to thank me for getting you to the one piece my king?" She smirked at him with a playful wink.

Luffy just turned his eyes to the sea. "Nope. Friends shouldn't have to thank each other." He could see Nami smile as she shook her head. "... But thank you." Luffy said seriously. Letting go of Nami's hand before reaching behind his back, lifting the straw hat from its string and placing it on Nami's head.

Nami reached up and placed her hand over the crown of the hat. Pushing it firmly onto her head with a nostalgic smile. "I thought you said friends don't thank each other?"

Instead of answering instantly, Luffy stood up and started making his way towards the kitchen with his hands in his pockets. "Someone can mean more to you than a friend."

Nami was left sitting there confused while staring at the retreating back of her captain. "More than a friend?" But before being able to ponder to much on Luffys words, She felt a tap on her shoulder. Nami turned around only to see a hand coming out from under the ground and pointing towards the woman getting up from her lawn chair.

Robin was setting her book aside on the table before asking her friend, "Are you coming for breakfast? I'm sure the rest of the crew are starting to argue with Sanji's, 'ladies first' rule. Especially Luffy."

"Yeah, you're right. We don't want another fight after all." With a sigh, Nami got up from the deck floor and placed a protective hand over the straw hat that Luffy had given her. Heading to the dinning room with her friend. And after breakfast, she'll ask Luffy what he meant by 'Someone can mean more to you than a friend.'.
