Prologue: A Day to Remember

'Falling, faster into the water below… The sky shining above, glaring at me, mocking me. It wasn't fair. This wasn't how I pictured my life ending. I wanted to be the pirate king… It isn't fair… All my dreams, crushed...' A redhead boy about six years old thought falling towards the mouth of the hug sea king. Said sea king had thrown him up and was intent on eating him. At least that was the plan till a huge black bird swooped in and rescued him, flying back to an island. "What?" The six year old looked surprised. Someone saved him.

"Are you alright?" the black bird asked.

"I'm fine… but how are you talking?" the redhead asked.

"Magic, or a devil fruit. You're choice," the black bird chuckled as he put the boy on the ground.

"I want to say magic, but I know its a devil fruit," the six year old said with a pout.

"Devil fruits are like magic. No-one knows they how they work," the bird chuckled as he changed back into tall man with cooper blonde hair and stunning blue eyes. The man looked to be in his late thirties or early forties.

"That means I have magic too!" the redhead said proudly.

"That's right," the man smiled to the boy. "Now, my name is Henry. What's your name?"

"Ryu," the six year old said with a smile. "Have you seen my older brother Trace? And my little brother Eren? They were in the wreck with me. Trace has black hair and blue eyes. We're not related by blood by he's like an older brother to me! He's fourteen. And my little brother has brown hair with red tips and my orange eyes. He's about a week old."

"I didn't see anyone but you, but my son Levi was helping someone who had a baby in their arms," Henry told the redhead. "My little boy is around your age. How old are you Ryu?"

"Six," the pirate king to be told him.

"My son Levi is six too," Henry smiled to the boy as a black haired boy with the same stunning eyes as Henry walked over with a baby.

"Mama. The baby isn't the breathing. What do I do?" the boy asked.

"Give him here Levi," Henry smiled as took the baby, rubbing where the baby's heart was and doing some CRP on the baby.

"Eren!" Ryu cried, seeing baby brother. "Did you find Trace as well? Is my big brother okay? He was with Eren! For that matter what's wrong with Ren?!"

"Ryumi! Thank the gods you're okay," a black haired teen said as he held the redhead close. He was soaking wet and looked very worried about the little baby. He had let Levi carry him mainly because he wouldn't give the baby back. He rushed off with the baby before Trace could stop him as well.

The baby coughed a few times before he started crying. "There we go little fella," Henry smiled as he put the baby lightly over his shoulder and patted the baby's back as he was coughing a little

"Eren! Can I have my little brother back?" Ryu asked as he held his arms out.

"No! Mine!" Levi told the redhead as he put his arms to Henry. "I want baby!"

Ryumi looked ready to cry. "But he's my little brother!"

"Levi, be nice," Henry told his son who just huffed. "I will give him to back to you and Trace, Ryu, once you three have a warm shower and dry off and change your clothes. You'll get sick otherwise." Handing the baby to Levi and looking at his son seriously. "You show them where the house is and let Trace and Ryu have a shower or bath while you shower and dry Eren. When I get back after looking to see if we have more survivors, you are to give Eren back. Am I understood Levi? Do I have to call papa?"

"I understand, but call papa. I want a baby!" the black haired six year old told his mama.

"You can share my brother with me," Ryu told him. "My mama and papa were both males too. They had this gene that's really only common on our island called the mpreg gene. Females are pretty rare where we live. The island is in the grandline! Levi, would you be okay with me sharing Ren with you? He can be both our brothers if you want?"

"Mama and papa are both males! And okay!" Levi told the orange eyed six year old. "Mama lives here with me and papa sails around the world! He comes back for visits and gives me and mama presents and he makes mama go red in the face when he hugs him sometimes."

"I miss my mama and papa… Mama and papa wouldn't wake up thanks to Kurt… Trace had run away with me and Eren… We made as far as here, in the west blue, till a sea king attacked and the ship crashed…" Ryu said teary eyed.

"I'll have a look around and see if I can find anyone. Alright? Then I will be at the house," Henry told the boys. "You boys are staying with us, alright?

"Mama and papa weren't on the ship with us. I tried shaking them awake and there was so much red liquid coming out of them… Trace picked me up and then Eren up and ran…" Ryu told the man. "That was a week ago. Eren had just been born an hour ago when that had happened… Trace wouldn't tell me why they wouldn't wake up…"

"So was there anyone else on the ship besides you, Eren and Trace?" Henry smiled as he bent down to Ryu's level. He could understand why Trace didn't tell the boy the truth, how do you explain to a six year old that their parents are dead and never coming back?

"Just the sailors," Ryu told him. "Oh and Oliver! He's thirteen. He pushed me out of the way of the sea king and then jumped out of the way himself. He's Eren's Garde Royal," Ryu told him, speaking in french for the last word. The copper haired man couldn't place the accent both him and Trace had till that moment when the redhead spoke french. The redhead took this moment to get out of his older brother figure's arms. (Royal Guard)

"Then why don't I go see if I can find Oliver and the sailors and you boys go to my house and wait for me?" Henry smiled to the boys and Levi seemed to be in love with baby as he holding the little fella against his heart. "I'll feed Eren when I get back."

"That would be great if you look for Oliver and the others," The teen nodded to the man. He was hoping Oliver was okay.

"Alright, I'll be back as soon as I can be. Levi, show to them to the house, okay?" The devil fruit eater said smiling to his son before changing into a large black bird and taking off to the sky.

"Okay mama!" the black haired boy smiled as he took Ryu's hand and held the little boy in his other hand easily. "Lets go!"

"Oi, two hands on the baby at all times," Trace told the six year old.

"Trace says that to me too, so don't worry about it," Ryumi giggled at the black haired teen.

"That's because you might accidentally drop him if you hold in one hand, like Oliver almost did, remember Ryu?" Trace told the redhead as Levi let go of Ryu's hand and held with both hands.

"No drop baby! Baby little and fragile and die!" Levi said as he was holding the baby with both hands. But he walked right next to the redhead.

"Ouais, et il a appris sa leçon de ne pas laisser tomber mon petit frère aussi," Ryu said in an overly cheerful voice. He didn't take to well to when Eren got hurt. He was an overprotective brother. He basically pranked Oliver non-stop and he still hasn't stopped after Oliver dropped him. He was planning on stopping tomorrow or the next day soon. (Yep, and he learned his lesson not to drop my baby brother too)

"You can meet Jace! He's my friend! He's really shy!" The six year old smiled to the redhead. It was clear the black haired boy had no idea what the redhead had said. "He's eight!"

"I wish I had a friend… I was stuck in the castle and there weren't many other kids and the ones that were their were the servants kids and were too afraid to be my friend because I was the heir to the throne…" The redhead said, looking upset.

"Jace and I can be your friends!" Levi smiled to the redhead.

"I'd like that," Ryu smiled.

"Cool!" the black haired boy smiled as they were walking and then went left, walking along a path and seemed to be hidden among the trees. It was like a secret path, Trace liked but didn't like it at the same time.

"I thought we were going to your house so me and Trace could get warmed up?" The future pirate captain asked as he suddenly sneezed and shivered. "I'm cold…"

"We are. We live in the house in the forest," Levi said as he pointed to a rock. "See? We're not far now. That rock looks like cat, so we're really close." Walking round a bend, they came to a huge space with several vegetable packs and some fruit trees and a beautiful big house. "See! Home!"

"What do you wanna be when you grow up Vi? I wanna be the king of the pirates!" Ryu told Levi before he started sneezing again.

"Um…. I don't know. An explorer like papa maybe?" the black haired boy said not having thought about it before. "Or maybe a gunmen like mama? I don't know."

"You could join me and be on my crew!" Ryumi told him.

"Okay!" Levi nodded as he pushed open the door to the house.

"You leave your house door open?" Trace said with a raised eyebrowed.

"Yeah. Everyone on the island is mama's and papa's friend," the six year old nodded to the taller black and older black hair kid. "Why would we lock our door?"

"Levi..." an upset voice said as he walked into the house. There was a blonde haired boy sitting at the bottom step. He had bruises and a black eye.

"Jace! What happened?!" Levi asked his best friend as he ran over him.

"Can I stay here with you? Please? I don't want to go home..." Jace cried as he hugged his best friend. "I don't want to go home..."

"Of course you can stay! You can sleep in my room!" Levi nodded his head. "Jace, this is Ryu and Trace. Ryu and Trace, this Jace. This little one is Eren!" Showing Jace the baby. "I need to show Trace and Ryu to the bathroom so they can have a shower and warm up. Can you get the fire going for me?"

"Sure, thanks Levi," Jace nodded as he was rubbing his eyes and smiled to Ryu and Trace. "Hello… I'm Jace..."

Trace couldn't help that blush that crossed his face. The blonde kid was so cute… sure, he was a kid and six years older than the blonde. But he could tell he was going to grow up and be very good looking and the kid was tall and cute and Trace wouldn't have guessed that the blonde was only eight. He would have thought that Jace was closer to his age.

"Hi! Vi said we could be friends, is it okay with you if we're friends? Eren is my little brother, in case you wondering so um yeah…" Ryu said, nervously.

"Sure… we can be friends," The blonde nodded with a soft smile on his face.

"Yay!" Ryu cheered with his hands thrown up the air. "Maybe when you're older you can join my crew! I'm going to be the kind of the pirates! Trace is going to be my first mate! Eren will be the cabin boy! And whatever you and Levi want to be you can be!"

"If Levi is going to be there, sure," Jace nodded his head.

"What would you like to be on the crew?" Ryu asked.

"I don't know..." Jace said quietly, half hiding behind Levi. Despite their obvious height difference.

"We can figure it out as we get closer," the redhead smiled to the blonde before turning his head to the black haired teen. "What about you Levi?"

"I don't know. Explorer like papa? Gunman like mama? I like music too! Music is fun!" Levi smiled as Jace walked into the lounge to start the fire and Levi showed Trace and Ryu to where the bathroom was so that they could have a warm shower to warm up. "I'll get some clothes for you guys then do a bath for Eren. Okay?"

"Then you could be the musician!" Ryu smiled and told the black haired boy the same age as him. "You should have a position that you love! I'll help Jace find a position he loves to do as well! And okay we will do that!"

"Here's the bathroom. There are towels already in there. Just use them," the musician told the two.

"Will you take a bath with me Trace?" Ryu asked.

"Of course," Trace smiled to Ryu. "We have a shower first while waiting for the bath to fill up."

"Then bubble bath!" Ryumi told him.

"Sure," the teen smiled as Levi walked off to get them some clothes. "Are you going to bring the clothes into the bathroom Levi? Or leave outside it? Take them to lounge room?" Which was where Trace was guessing that Jace had walked off to start the fire.

"I thought the lounge. Then I could put the clothes near the fire and the clothes could be nice and warm for you. Do you want normal clothes or pyjamas?" Levi asked them.

"Do you have Pjs with foxes on them?" Ryu asked the other. "I love foxes! Foxes are the best animal in the world! See?" Transforming into a small nine tailed kitsune, or mythical fox creature, made of fire and about the size of eight week old labrador puppy.

"I think so, and cool! I would show you my powers but they're icey and cold and you guys might get sick if I do," Levi commented as he opened a door. "I'll show you guys after your shower."

Trace opened the door to he bathroom and closed it once Ryu was inside with him. Trace started up the shower so that it was warm for the redhead and then walked over to the bath and turned it on so it could fill up. Adding some bubble bath that he could find.

"Get undressed and hope into the shower Prince Ryu," Trace told the redhead as he was making sure the hot water was going in the bath tube.

"Mmkay!" Ryu nodded, transforming back to normal and doing just that.

A few hours later…

Levi was curled up on the couch sleeping with Eren on his chest. Jace was sitting on the ground in front of the couch near the black haired boy. Just watching the fire that he had got going for Levi's guests.

"Vi," Ryu whined as he was poking the black haired boy. "I want Eren."

"Levi is sleeping. You can just take the baby if you want him," Jace commented as he had his legs pulled into his chest.

"But then Vi might freak out," Ryu told him then resumed poking Levi's cheek. "I don't want to scare him."

"Sleepy… go away mama..." Levi muttered as one hand swatted at the redhead.

"Not mama," the redhead told him. "I want Eren."

"Mine..." the blue eyed boy complained as he was rubbing his eyes.

"He's mine too," Ryu huffed at the black haired six year old. "I wanna hold my baby brother!"

"Fine… take him then..." Levi said moving his arms off the baby off his chest.

"Thank you!" Ryu beamed at Levi as he took his brother, holding him near his heart like he knew that Eren liked so much.

"Whatever," Levi muttered as he got on the ground. Jace removed his arms and straightened out his legs as the six year used him as a pillow and easily fell back to sleep. Jace looked outside and could see that it was already dark. Henry hasn't come back yet and that worried the blonde eight year old. Where Henry?

"I wonder where Mr. Henry is… I'm worried… mama and papa always said bad things happen after dark… And that one should never go out after dark..." the redhead said.

"I don't know..." Jace said sounding worried. "I thought Henry would be back by now… it's past dinner time and he normally gets Levi ready for bed about now..."

At the mention of dinner the redhead's stomach growled loudly. "I'm hungry…" Ryu whimpered as he wrapped one hand around his stomach, seeing how he was still holding Eren. They hadn't had dinner yet.

"I'll go make us all something to eat," Trace smiled to the redhead as he ruffled his hair "And both hands on the baby Ry."

"Right, sorry," Ryu apologized as he resumed holding the sleeping Eren with both hands. Ryu placed a kiss on the top of the baby's head, very happy to have his little brother with him. A snail that was on a desk in the corner of the room suddenly started ringing loudly and it startled the sleeping one week old baby. The baby boy started crying very loudly. Everyone in the room looked over to it. No-one had expected it to suddenly ring as Levi stirred again rubbing eyes as he sat up.

"Shh, Ren it's okay, it's okay," Ryu said softly as he rocked him, trying to calm him down. "Ryry is here, don't worry."

"Papa is calling late again..." Levi muttered sleepily as he got up, walked over to the snail and answered it. "Hi papa..." the six year yawned.

"Hey Spitfire, is Chicken there?" the voice on the other end asked.

"I don't think mama is home yet..." the black haired six year old said rubbing his eyes and looking at Trace and Jace. "Did mama come home yet?"

"No," Trace shook his head.

"Not that I heard or saw," the blonde answered with a shake of his head. "Hi Mr. Malic!"

"Malic, just Malic. I keeping saying that. Calling me Mr makes me feel old!" the voice complained.

"But papa is old," Levi yawned.

"How hurtful!" Malic said, sounding hurt. "That's so mean! Stop being so mean to me Spitfire! I'll have you know I'm quiet young at thirty-five!"

"Old," Levi repeated to Malic. "Papa should come home and make baby with mama."

"I should! It would be fun~" Malic laughed. Unfortunately this was what Henry walked into hearing, having just gotten home.

"And Jace is living with us and being my new big brother. His papa beat up him again," Levi told his papa.

"Malic, are you corrupting our son again?" Henry said as he walked into the lounge with blood on his clothes.

"Mama!" Levi shouted as he ran over to Henry with the snail and hugged his legs.

"What? I love to corrupt him," Malic said to his husband. "Also Levi, tell mama to go and beat up Jace's papa for me okay? It seems he needs to be taught a lesson… again."

"I'm right here," Henry sighed as he took the snail from Levi. "And we'll talk later Jace sweetie, okay?"

"Okay..." Jace nodded.

"I know," Malic chirped happily. "I'm going to be home soon. I was on my way when I called and Spitfire just gave me more of a reason to come home. We should make another baby~"

"Levi is just saying that because he saved a baby and teenager from drowning today," the copper haired man sighed as Levi was looking at Henry. "I saved another little boy whose the same age as Levi. I could only find one other person from the boat crash. I dropped him off to Doc. I'm going to take Trace, Ryu and Eren to see him tomorrow."

"But I want another baby," Malic whined, sounding like he was pouting. Henry was sure his husband was pouting on the other side. "Please~ It'll be fun~ And you know you wanna~"

"We can't make what I already have and am," Henry told his husband.

"You're already… You're pregnant?" Malic asked in shock.

"Yes, from your last visit ten or so months ago. I already found last out week. How the hell I have been pregnant for ten or some odd months and not known is beyond me," Henry sighed as he sat on the couch.

"My mama was pregnant for five months but he said that it could last up to a year for other males," Ryu told Henry as he had finally calmed down his little brother.

"I know Ryu sweetie. I was pregnant with Levi for thirteen months," The thirty something man smiled to the redhead.

"So you were really big?" Ryu asked Henry. "Mama was big when he was pregnant with Ren!"

"It was like having a watermelon taped to me," Henry sighed as he patted Levi's head. "I normally start to show around eleven months. Which should be in a week Doc thinks."

"So that's the kid that's Levi's age? I wanna keep him!" Malic told Henry.

"Well considering his parents are… I will talk to about it fully later Malic. But yes, I was thinking if Trace and Ryu want, that could live with us," Henry said as the baby was sucking at Ryu's shirt and making whimpering sounds.

"I think Eren is hungry too… I don't know how to fix that…" The future pirate captain said as he looked to Henry. "Mama would never let me see when he fed Eren. And he would never let me help either…"

"I don't fully blame your mama on that," Henry commented as Levi was staring at him. "I'll feed him Ryu. I'll give him back to you once I have. What is it Levi?"

"You have blood on you mama," Levi said pointing to the blood stains on his clothes.

"I know. I found someone and they were hurt and bleeding," Henry told the boy who nodded his understanding. Henry was telling him that it wasn't his blood, but someone else's on him.

"Was he wearing a grey cloak and had orange hair?" Ryu asked.

"Yes, he did," Henry nodded to redhead. "I took him right to the doctor the moment I found him. He was bleeding badly and looked very pale."

"That was Oliver!" the redhead told him. "Is he okay?"

"He was hurt, but I think he should be okay. He was alive and breathing when I last saw him," Henry told the redhead as he took Eren and moved his shirt. Eren latched right onto Henry's nipple and started sucking. Seeming happy as he was feeding.

"That's how you feed a baby?" the orange eyed boy asked, surprised.

"Yes, but only grown ups can do it," the copper haired man told the boy. "So you boys can't. And neither can Malic because he isn't pregnant, nor has he had a baby." Making sure that the boys understand that they couldn't feed or do what Henry was doing. "But when he gets older. We can move him onto bottles and you boys can help feed him then."

"Oh! So only mamas can do it!" Ryu realised as Henry told him that. "Okay then! I'll help when he gets older!"

"Good boy," Henry smiled to the redhead. "How long until you get home Mally? A few months? Weeks? Days?"

"About three days if all goes well," Malic told him.

"Alright, we'll talk then about everything," Henry told his husband. "I need to organise these bys something to eat and then get them to bed. It's getting late." Henry hadn't meant to be out for long.

"I got dinner," Trace told him from in the kitchen. "I've already started it!"

"Thank you Trace!" Henry said from the couch. "Ryu, you look very cute with those black PJs with the orange fox on them." Smiling to the redhead. "I'll do something about Jace's dad tomorrow. Alright Mally?"

"Yeah! Foxes are the best animal in the world!" Ryu told him. "I can turn into a fox with nine tails and made of fire!"

"That's very cool," the thirty-nine year old man smiled to the redhead.

"I can make ice and snow and make it cold!" Levi told Ryu as he made a fox out of ice in his hand. "See!"

"Awesome!" Ryu said with stars in his eyes.

"Alright Chicken. I'll call you first thing in the morning to let you know how things are going. Later, love you~" Malic told Henry.

"Where are Trace, Ryu and Eren sleeping?" Jace asked.

"I want to sleep with Vi!" Ryu told Henry.

"Love you too Mally. Levi, say good night to papa," Henry told their son.

"Good night papa!" Levi said to Malic as he kissed the snail. "Sending love and smiles and hugs! Love you!"

"Love you too Spitfire! I'm sending you, mama, Jace, the new boys and baby kisses, hugs and more from my end too," Malic said brightly.

"So does that mean your my second papa?" Ryu asked.

"If you would like me to be your second papa and Chicken your second mama, yes. But we won't force anything on you," Malic told the six year old.

"Love you then papa!" Ryu beamed. "Please be careful."

"Alway am Sparkplug," Malic laughed lightly. "Alright. Talk to you all in the morning. Love you and miss you."

"Love and miss you too," Henry and Levi said at the same time before the snail hung up. "If you want to sleep Levi, I'm fine with that. But Eren is sleeping with me okay? In case he wakes up needing to be fed in the middle of the night. Baby sleeps and eat lots when they're this little." It was probably a good thing that Henry had kept all of Levi's old baby and toddler things. Sure, Henry had planned to have another child or two with Malic. But it still a good thing that Henry kept the things instead of throwing them out and then having to get new things.

"Can I sleep with you and Levi, mama?" the pirate king to be asked.

"If you like too, sure," Henry smiled to the redhead. "Are you okay with that Levi?"

"Yes," Levi nodded to his mama. "Jace can sleep in my bed and I'll sleep with mama, Eren and Ryu in mama's bed. Because mama's and papa's bed is really big."

Eleven years later…

"So we're going to be setting out today, huh Vi?" Ryu asked as he smiled at Levi.

"That we are," Levi nodded with a smile. "It's going to fun. Right?"

"Where we going Levi-nii? Ryu-nii?" a brown haired eleven year old asked his two older brothers. "Where's Trace-nii and Jace-nii?"

"Trace and Jace are already on the ship," Ryu told him. "You have Oliver with you right?"

"Yes!" the boy nodded as he pointed to the trees. "He's over there." The brown haired boy also had red tips at the end of his hair and he was holding onto another boy's hand. "We wanted to go to the ship with you!"

"Yeah, I already decided you two were coming with anyway. I promised mama and papa I would take care of my petits frères," the redhead told him. "I'm going to try and get one or two new crew members then we are going to the Grandline to find the One Piece! It's going to be great, Eren, Jai."

"I hope!" Eren smiled as the copper haired boy let go of Eren's hand and hugged Levi's legs.

"Don't worry Jai. We'll go say bye mama," Levi smiled as he picked the almost eleven year old up.

"I still don't understand why you have to be his favourite," Ryu pouted.

"Because I'm better than you, obviously!" Levi said teasing as he spat out his tongue at the redhead.

"Eren, who is your favourite?" Ryu asked, honestly curious as well as pointedly ignoring Levi. He never really asked before. He asked Jai and he had pointed to Levi.

"Jai!" Eren answered as he hugged Ryu. "Or do you mean favourite big brother?"

"No, no, my feelings are hurt!" the pirate captain pouted to his little brother. "It's so mean! I wanted to be someone's favourite!"

"But you're Levi-nii's favourite. Why does it matter?" Eren asked with his head tilted to the side.

"Because Levi has Jai! And I don't have any cute younger brothers who thinks I'm his favourite!" Ryu pouted, obviously sulking.

"Ryry is my favourite big brother! Trace-nii is big meanie!" the cabin boy told the redhead. "And Jace-nii is weird."

"Trace is my favourite though!" Ryu said to his little brother. "You're second." Teasing Eren with that. Ryu didn't consider Levi to be his brother for the sole reason that he liked him like he would a boyfriend. Not that he has ever had a boyfriend, but he had it bad for the black haired teen. If he did consider him a brother he would probably be in a tie with Trace.

"Levi is always Jai's favourite. It's mean!" Eren complained to the redhead. "I'm no-one's favourite." Pouting as he hugged the redhead harder. Ryu laughed as he picked little Eren up, smiling at him.

"Ru, I'm taking Jai to say bye mama. I'll meet you guys at the ship, okay?" Levi said as Jai had his head buried into Levi's chest. The little copper haired boy has always been clingy to Levi and they were sure it would only get worse with strangers around. Jai clung to Levi like glue when there were people around, especially strangers.

"I'm coming with you," Ryu told Levi. "And I can't choose between you and Jai though Eren, so you have to settle for second. Though I'm pretty sure Oliver thinks your his favourite. Right Oliver?"

"Of course, Eren will always be my favourite," Oliver smiled as he walked over. "Let's go then. Before Trace tries to jump Jace since they're alone."

"The two of them are dating so I'm pretty sure that will happen sooner or later," Ryu reminded him.

"Since when was this and why wasn't I informed?" Levi commented as they were walking. The black haired teen easily carried Jai, since the boy was on the short and smaller side of kids' his age.

"I have no idea why you weren't told. They've been dating for a few months now," the redhead said, sounding confused. Levi should've been told about the two of them dating…

"It's because Levi-nii would death glare Trace-nii," the brown haired boy told him from Ryu's arms. "Jace-nii said Levi-nii glares at people lots!"

"But Trace is our older brother and Levi has approved of Trace and Jace from the beginning," Ryu said, sounding confused again. Did Jace and Trace not know that? "There was a reason why he glared all those other people away. He wanted Jace and Trace together. It was clear from the get go that they both liked each other. At least it was clear with Trace."

"I'll talk to Jace about it later," Levi said with a small wave of his hand. "It's not that big of a deal." Jace was just being worrywart, again.

"So is it like you and Levi-nii? How you two like each other?" Eren asked.

"What are you talking about it?" the black haired teen said to Eren as he looked shocked by this new fact.

"You two look at each other with love in your eyes! And Ryry-nii sometimes stutters and blushes too! And so do you! Like when you two had the accidental kiss!" Eren told him. Ryu was doing a very good impression of a tomato by the time Eren finished.

"Eren is right you both clearly like each other," Oliver agreed, only making Ryu redder with that comment. "Ryu blushes more than you though. But you still blush."

"I do no such thing," Levi said with a slight blush over his face.

"But your doing so now!" the cabin boy argued.

"Am not. It's just hot," the musician told Eren as he was walking faster. Jai was looking up at Levi's face and just hugging his brother more.

"But it's winter and it's going to snow some time today!" Eren argued with the teen more.

"He's got you there Levi," The orange haired twenty-four year old laughed.

"Shut up!" Levi said, blushing worse. Jai snuggled into Levi's arms easily as he closed his eyes and Levi couldn't help but smile down at the little boy in his arms, Jai snuggling grabbing his attention away. "Let's just go say bye to mama and go to the ship. Jai's tired."

"But papa said to get Ryry-nii to confess by the time we get to the ship," the eleven year old said.

"Ru, remind me when we see papa again that I need to kill him," the black haired teen told the redhead. The teen was still annoyed at his father for what he did last year when he told Eren and Jai about sex. Luckily, Jai had fallen asleep during the explanation, so he wasn't really listening. Though the day after Jai's tenth birthday, about three months after Eren's, Malic had told him what sex was. Levi was still mad about that too.

"Right," the redhead nodded as they stopped.

"Jai, we're here buddy," Levi said shaking him a little. The boy fell asleep and it had Levi worried. He wasn't sure if it was normal for a kid to sleep as much as Jai does.

Jai rubbed his eyes as sat up a little. "Mama?" Looking at small grave and getting teary eyed.

"What's wrong baby?" Henry asked as he got down from a ladder.

"Mama!" Jai said looking at him and putting his arms for him.

"I'm coming, I'm coming," the copper haired man said as he put the basket of fruit in his hands on the ground and walked over. Jai clung to Henry the moment he got close enough. Levi knew that Jai had nightmares at times and he got very scared and worried that Henry would die. Like they're pet dog did, that was who the grave belonged to.

"Hey! Don't I get a goodbye hug too?" a tall black haired male asked with a pout.

"Papa!" Jai smiled happily seeing him.

"Hello little Black Blood," Malic smiled he engulfed Jai and Henry into a hug. "You joining or what Spitfire?"

"How about I kill you?" Levi said looking annoyed.

"How about we say you did and don't?" the black haired man smiled to his oldest son.

"He's annoyed about how you decided to tell Eren to make sure I confess to Vi," Ryu told him, glaring pointedly at the man. He never should've told Malic that he had a crush on Levi. He knew better.

"What? You two should confess to each other and get together already. It makes things less awkward for everyone later Sparkplug," Malic told the redhead.

"Malic, I told you to the give the boys time. They will get together when they are ready," the copper haired man told his husband as he hit him in the gut with the back of his hand.

"Mama!" Ryu cried, his face beet red. "That's not helping!"

"Mama is meant to be helping you? I thought he was meant to help me, he is my husband," Malic teased the redhead.

"I'll help you in a minute," Henry said looking annoyed, making a threat out of the line. "Six feet under." Malic just laughed as he thought the threat was cute and hilarious. He knew Henry couldn't actually hurt him. Not unless his husband was really pissed off about something. Then Henry smiled to his oldest biological son. "Now Levi, come here so I can hug my baby."

"I still don't think you boys taking Little Dove and Black Blood is a good idea, what if something happens?" the explorer said as he was hugging Jai. The little copper haired boy was being hugged sandwiched between his mama and papa.

Levi ignored Malic and hugged Henry and Jai, mostly Henry. "Miss you already mama."

"Miss you already too baby," the copper haired man told the seventeen year old as he gave him a kiss on the forehead. "Ryu, you and Eren come here too. I want to give all of my babies hugs."

"Jai and Eren are coming with," Ryu said stubbornly. "They are my precious little brothers. They're coming with and that's final."

"I'll be fine Malic," Henry told his husband as he hit him again. Levi pulled Ryu and Eren for the hug and just snuggled against Henry. "Besides, you're likely to see them more than I am and you can check on them."

"No you won't be fine," Malic told him. "You are being stubborn Chicken. And if you have to take them, then me and mama are going to go and make you another little brother~"

"No!" Jai told Malic. "Mama have us. Mama no need new baby." Hugging Henry tightly.

"But I want another little one!" Malic pouted.

"One who would old enough to be our son's child?" Henry said looking at Malic with a raised eyebrow.

"Yes!" the forty-six year old told his husband. "I want another little one!"

"Don't you think we're getting too old for this?" Henry sighed at Malic.

"Never!" Malic argued teasingly with his lover. "Besides I'm planning on staying until the baby is born because you won't have anyone else to here to help you during the pregnancy."

"So like when I fell pregnant with Levi? Until Josh come to see me and then stayed for a while?" the fifty year old said looking at his husband.

"Exactly," Malic nodded and snuggled into the cooper haired man. "I'm sure the marines and whatever pirate crew that wants to hire me is willing to wait until you give birth for me to go searching for whatever they want. I am the best explorer out there."

"Well, that is true," Henry laughed lightly as Jai shook his head. "Jai baby, we're not replacing you and the others." Jai shook his head again and held onto his mama. "Levi and you are so different." Henry sighed as he petted Jai's head.

"I was exactly like Black Blood when I was younger," Malic sighed, remembering exactly what caused him to change. Malic grit his teeth as he thought about his asshole of a father. The one that killed his mother and little brother. He couldn't protect them, so he had to grow stronger, had to keep people from getting too close so they wouldn't get hurt too. The only way to do that was to show a sadistic side, push people away by being mean. Luckily though, his older brother James was still alive and currently a Marine Admiral. "Never change Black Blood."

"What? Took three years to talk, refused to sleep unless your big brother was in bed with you and didn't start walking until you were two?" Henry said looking at Malic. Henry had been worried he had something wrong with Jai. Levi was the first baby in the mothers group to walk and talk. Jai was the last. Jai still has a few problems with talking, but Levi had some problems when he was speaking, so it wasn't that bad. Jai was and still is though, much quieter than Levi ever was.

"Yes, I was exactly like that," Malic nodded. "My dad thought it weakness and so tried to beat it out of me. It didn't really work. Well not until he decided to kill my mom and little brother, Eric. But you know that already."

"Yes hon, I know," the copper haired male nodded as he gave Malic a kiss on the nose.

"Mama no need baby," Jai told the pair.

"Levi was very excited when I was pregnant with you Jai. He even picked your name," Henry told his youngest son. "A baby isn't bad. It gives you someone else to love."

"I like being youngest!" Jai huffed and looked away from Henry and Malic. "Youngest favourite. I like being favourite."

"You will always be my favourite Jai," Levi laughed as he ruffled Jai's hair.

"Eren and Ryu too?" Jai asked.

"Yes, they're my favourites too. And yes Jai, you're their favourite too," Levi nodded to his little brother. "A little brother or sister isn't a bad thing either. It means that papa will have photos and stories to tell us when he visits."

"If it's a girl I want to use the name Alice," Malic told Henry. "For no other reason than I like that name!"

"Okay, and Jai can choose the boy name," Henry nodded as he looked at Jai.

"... no baby," Jai said stubbornly.

"Jai, we can't stop mama and papa from having a baby if they want one," Levi sighed at his little brother. Why was Jai being stubborn about this? Levi looked to Eren and Ryu, his eyes were saying everything. They needed to reinforce to Jai he is their favourite and a baby wouldn't change that. Jai seemed to have a some kind of unwritten fear of being replaced because of a new baby.

"Jai always favourite! Jai number one!" Eren told the almost eleven year old. "We're almost like twins! Jai can never be replaced, right Ryry-nii?"

"Right Ren," Ryu nodded with a smile. "After all, we're leaving now. Not hanging around for the new baby to be born and taking the baby with us. So clearly Jai is the favourite and the new baby isn't. Besides Jai, you don't want mama to get lonely without us being here do you? The new baby will stop mama from being lonely without his favourite here."

"... but new baby be new favourite… don't want that..." the copper haired eleven year old said hugging Henry. Henry just soaked up the hugs, Jai was rarely this clingy with him, so excuse Henry that he was enjoying the fact that Jai wasn't being clingy to Malic or Levi and didn't want his mama.

"The new baby will just be another favourite. We're all Mama's and papa's favourite so there's no way we could be replace," Ryu told Jai. "You won't be replaced, there will just be an extra favourite. Kinda like getting crew members. We're trying to add to our family."

"... okay..." Jai nodded seeming to understand what Ryu was saying.

"What do you want the baby to be called if it's a boy, Jai?" Henry smiled to the little boy happily.

"..." Jai said nothing as he was thinking. "Eric! After papa's little brother."

"I love that name," Malic stated with a smile. "Your such a sweetheart, little Black Blood."

"Unlike some people," Ryu said, teasing his papa

"Hey! I'll have you know I'm very sweet!" Malic said sticking his tongue out.

"That is a very good choice for a name," Henry told Jai who was smiling brightly at being praised by both his papa and mama. "You be good for your big brothers and you all stay safe. I'll make sure to call you guys at least once a week to check on you and I'll follow the papers the best I can to know what you boys are up to."

"Of course we'll stay safe! And I'll try to answer when I can. Just be looking for the Kitsune Pirates in the news paper alright?" Ryu smirked.

"Okay, I can do that," Henry smiled to the redhead. "Papa, me and the new baby will do that while we're looking at the papers. I'll make sure the new baby will know exactly who all of his brothers are."
