Sippy-Boy

~X~

Zoro grunted as he walked into the galley, a small girl attached to his hip. Lilly, was a three year old girl who was found by herself on a jungle island. Luffy had decided to bring her with them as a new Nakama.

So, now the crew had a new job to do; to take care of Lilly.

Luffy, Chopper, and Usopp played with her, Robin and Nami gave her baths and put her to bed. Sanji fed her and what Zoro liked to say: Mothered her. While everyone else was busy, Zoro was the baby-sitter.

So, here was in the galley with a small girl hooked onto his hip, and making a nap-time drink. Usually it was the cook's job to give her, her snacks and drinks, but said Cook was in the infirmary due to a shot wound he received when saving Lilly in battle.

Zoro sighed and scanned each cupboard looking for her sippy cup. Finding it, he removed the lid and placed it on the counter.

"What do you want?" Zoro asked the young girl, keeping his voice low.

"Wam Milk, pleas, Oro!" she said her wide and bright it shined the whole room.

Zoro chuckled, he couldn't help it. The small girl was just so… cute. He went right over to the fridge and took out the milk. He pored a small amount into the sippy cup and placed it into the microwave. He knew this wasn't the way the cook made it, but Zoro wasn't sure how to do it.

On hearing the ding go off Lilly cheered and reached for her cup.

"Wait," Zoro said as he took it out of the microwave. "I need to check the tempter first," he said, seeing the cook do it often when he made warm milk for the small girl. "Lets see…," he mumbled, looking around to see if anyone was watching he then started to lightly suck on the sippy cup.

"No Mine!" Lilly said in protest taking the cup right out of Zoro's mouth and started drinking it herself. She then wiggled out of his arms and ran out of the galley to take her nap.

Zoro watched her go with a frown. "That cup didn't spill…," he said getting a sudden idea.

Later that afternoon Sanji was released from Chopper's hands and stepped out on deck. There he saw the Marimo napping next to Lilly against the side of the ship, the small child leaning against the swordsman's chest.

Usually this wouldn't strike odd to the cook, as Lilly often took naps with Zoro out on deck. That was normal. The odd thing about the little picture was that both Lilly and Zoro were drinking out of Lilly's sippy cups.

Sanji just laughed and walked away, heading to the galley to start on dinner. From then on Zoro had a new name.

Sippy-Boy.
