A/N :
Uh, hi guys! I've been thinking about this fic since I finished Eduardo's Route. What if MC got pregnant? What will Eduardo do? I'm so curious and I decided to make it buy my own! This will be MC Point of View just like the game does. In here, the MC has golden hair and blue eyes, unlike the CGs on the game. Instead of Captain Morgan, I will write Captain Morgan. I just love Japanese so much, hehe.. And there are also some Japanese words here. Please note that I do not take another author's idea. This idea came to me when I finished Eduardo's route, and I haven't read any Pirates in Love fan fic yet. Please bother to review this!

Ah, the wind felt so good. Even though it was night already, the sea was still beautiful. I was standing in the deck while looking at the ocean. It had been two years since I got aboard at Sirius. I already got used of being in a ship. And I was actually a Pirate now, just like the others. Even Captain Morgan said I was better than Thomas. I used a sword and a gun, just like Captain Alan from the Rika. Why? I just felt like it.. I liked swinging sword to fight, but I also liked shooting gun. Maybe it was because Russell and Eduardo taught me.

I also managed to use two swords or two guns. Not as good as Russell on swords, but better than nothing. But I preferred using sword on my right hand and gun on my left hand, not either swords or guns. I felt more secure with those two weapons. My sword was a gift from Captain Morgan at my first anniversary at Sirius, and my gun was a gift from Eduardo at our first anniversary.

Yes, I had a lover, Eduardo, who was a sadistic mean guy when I first met him. But we got along after a while and we ended up loving each other. I still sleep with him on his room. I was glad I chose him when I first arrived at Sirius. He sure was cold, but sometimes he was warm and.. Cute. I talked about this to Captain Morgan once (he asked me) and he said that I was so in love with Eduardo that everything he was and everything he did was good for me. That was true, but he didn't have to talk so bold like that! He made me blushing all the way and made Eduardo misunderstood!

Anyway, now that two years had passed, I already felt that Sirius was my home. The crew was my family. But I also thought about my real family in Yamato. I wondered how Mom, Dad, and my little brother were. Before I knew it, I forgot them sometimes. I felt really bad about it..

Suddenly I couldn't see anything but black. Someone was covering my eyes! Usually I would draw my sword and gun, but I was in the Sirius right now. It must be someone from the crew. "Guess who?" A familiar voice whispered in my ear. I smiled and touched his hands.

"It's unlike you to do this, Eduardo."

His hands removed from my eyes and I turned around to find a blushing Eduardo. He was so cute when he blushed like this.. "You should have pretended you don't know. It's pretty embarrassing to do that you know." He said. (I know, I take this from Russell's route. Sorry, Russ! I love you too so it's ok, alright?)

I only laughed and continued staring at the sea, but this time with his arms around me.

"What were you thinking about?" He asked me.

"I was thinking about my family in Yamato. I just realized that it's been two years since I left them."

"Do you miss them?"

"Of course! Don't you miss your father, too?"

He sighed and put his head on my shoulder. "Aa, you're right.." It was weird, his tone.. It wasn't like usual. What was wrong with him, I wondered? One thing I never realized, he was thinking about his relationship with his father. His hug felt warm as always, everything was fine except his tone. Before I could ask, he opened his mouth. "You know, you're getting better on fighting."

"Yeah, Captain Morgan and Christopher told me the same. I think I'm already a pirate, huh?" I smirked.

"But you never surpassed me."

"Why should I? I want you to always protect me.. So I can't get better then you, right?" I sounded so selfish! I blushed when I realized what I just said.

I could feel Eduardo's smirk as he tightened his hug. "I see, so you want me forever, huh? What an honest girl you are, Clara." He blew my ear and sent shivers down my spine. "It's getting colder, let's get in to our room." I nodded and he lent me to our room, sharing another passionate night.

A few days later, the ship was under attack. It was from another pirate ship. Newbie pirate, I think. Because there was no pirate who dare to pick a fight with Sirius, the most famous pirate group which had Pirate King as our Captain. All, except for The Rika who wouldn't stop bothering us. When the other was fighting, I only stood near the plank. Trying not to get involve. Eduardo told me that even though I already mastered my sword and gun, I was still a female that all pirates desired. He told me he would never want any guy to touch me except for him and my family.

Countable numbers of pirate tried to reach me, but the other crew pushed them away from me. They knew why I didn't fight. They agreed with Eduardo, so I was not allowed to fight except I when really needed to. I stood aside, just watching. Until those pirates started to win over. Someone managed to hit Captain until he was unconscious. And I was right, they didn't know about Pirate King. The crew panicked, and that made them started to lose. I tried my best not to scream, because Eduardo gave me sign to stay here.

Until all of them fell, full of bruises and wounds. I closed my mouth with my hand. Tears already filled my eyes. They looked awful. They also almost lost their consciousness. Even Eduardo was lying down with bloody head. 'Eduardo!' My soul shouted from him.

"Hey, look, there's a cute woman here!"

Then I realized some pirates came closer to me. I didn't know if I should fight or not. Eduardo looked at me with sad eyes and nodded, a sign that I could fight. I knew that he actually didn't want me to do this, but conditions forced him. My sword and gun were hidden by my coat, so they didn't know that even I could fight. My hands reached for my beloved sword and gun, while those filthy guys tried to hit on me. "Let's get her to our ship!" One man said. They all shouted in agreement. A pirate approached me and tried to touch me, but I quickly drew my gun and pointed it at him.

"Do you really think I would go with you?" I asked in dangerous tone.

They all laughed. "A woman shouldn't use weapon like that! Now obey us or you'll die!"

"Then I prefer die!"

"This bitch!" They ran towards me and tried to grab me. But I already drew my sword, which meant 'you're idiot enough to challenge Lady of Sirius'. They seemed surprised when they saw me using sword and gun smoothly. Well, I couldn't let them escape after what they did to my family, right? So I began fighting like there was no tomorrow. I wouldn't let my one handed long sword and my beloved gun stay calm.

In about five minutes, I already knocked them down unconscious. I didn't kill them. Even though I already became a pirate, I still couldn't kill humans. The Sirius told me it was fine, they said they would never want me to dirt my hands with blood. I quickly ran towards Eduardo and knelt in front of him. I quickly reached for my first-aid bag in my coat pocket (given by Christopher) and treated his wound. It was such a huge relief when I found out his injuries weren't really bad.. After I finished bandaging his head, I laid him down softly. He already lost his consciousness. Then I quickly treated Christopher.

My first priority was Eduardo. And then Christopher. Because if Christopher was unconscious, who would handle the other except me? Luckily he was still conscious, and after I fixed him up a bit, he could help me take care of the other. The worst one was Russell, and then Thomas. They all lost their consciousness. Christopher and I took care of them and brought them to their rooms. Christopher passed out in his room after we finished. He thanked me and praised me too.

I went out to the deck and looked at those stupid pirates that attacked us. Their ship was at our right. There were about 12 guys, and one of them dressed like a Captain. So I knocked out a Captain myself?! Incredible!

There was a plank connected their ship and Sirius. My pirate instincts worked and I decided to take their treasures! But what should I do with them, I wondered? I decided to tie their Captain to the look out, and then I planned to throw his crews to the sea. Yeah, I was cruel. Thanks to Eduardo for that. But I must make sure they didn't follow us, so I tied them and let them stay for while. I went to their ship and search for their treasure.

"Wow.." I muttered. Their treasures were.. Amazing! Golds, jewels, diamonds.. It took me one hour to take them to the Sirius! I put those lovely treasures on the meeting room since I was too tired to put them on the treasure room. And then I opened their ties (except Captain's) and threw them to the sea. They woke up instantly. I quickly ran to the navigation section and took Sirius further from them. To be honest, that was my first time took control of everything without at least Eduardo! I was scared, of course. But I felt so.. Pirate-y! It felt kinda fun!

I looked at the map. Christopher said their wounds were so bad, they needed more treatment. So I searched for the nearest port and took our ship there, which turned out to be Moldor. Uh, maybe Eduardo wouldn't like this. Anyway, when they woke up, let Captain Morgan punished those pirates' Captain. From my calculation, we should arrive there by tomorrow afternoon. Eduardo taught me about it, how to steer and calculate time. Just then I felt dizzy and sick. I ran towards the deck and throw up. Ugh, the blood smell made me sicker! I decided to get back to Eduardo's and my room.

When I entered our room, I found Eduardo still resting. I'd cleaned up his bloody body and treated his wounds, but Christopher said he was still in a weak stage. I sat beside him voicelessly and caressed his hair. "Sorry, Eduardo.. Only if I helped you sooner.." I felt tears running down my cheeks. I tried hard to hold my sob.

Just then Eduardo's hand moved and wiped my tears. "Why are you crying? I'm not like this because of you." He said in low voice.

"But still.. If I helped you instead of just standing.." I started to sobbed and my tears finally flowed down. In the end, I broke up crying. I always thought being a pirate means I wouldn't be this emotional anymore. But turned out I was wrong. I was still weak, and only adrenaline kept me going just now. That adrenaline was gone the moment I sat beside Eduardo.

Eduardo pulled me towards him and hugged me while still lying down. "I told you it's not your fault. Stop crying or I'll make you shark bait." I finally laughed at his words. He was such a tsundere, but he never failed to make me happy.

"By the way, are you okay? You're not hurt by those filthy guys, right?"

"Yeah, I'm alright. I found out that they accidently hit Captain when fighting Russell, and that made him passed out. They also didn't know about Sirius Pirate or the Pirate King. But turns out their stupid accident made them win because all of you were panic."

"So it was just an accident?"

"Yes. Now please rest, Eduardo. Christopher said you're not well enough. I'll stay with you." Hugged by him, we entered our slumber.

The Next Day...

The Sirius Crew already could walk. We were gathering on the deck, in front of the Captain I beat up. "Che, I can't believe a girl beats me!" He shouted in anger.

"What?! That's your fault for attacking us!" I shouted back.

"At least you don't have to throw my crew to the ocean!"

"They deserve it!"

"You even tied me!"

"What?! You wanna run away?!"

"Stop it, you two!" Captain Morgan said. I glared at the Captain and walked away to Eduardo.

"First, I want to ask you, Clara. What did you do after I passed out?" Captain Morgan asked me.

"Well.. After you all fell, I started to beat them until all of them unconscious. Then I tied the Captain, throw the rest of the crew to sea, and steered away. I also woke Christopher up to help me treat you all." I explained. I could hear Thomas beamed in awe.

"Good job, Clara." Nathan smiled at me.

"Why you didn't kill them?" Russell asked.

"I don't want to kill anyone by my hand.. At least let them become shark baits." I huffed.

They all (except Eduardo) chuckled. "You really sound like Eduardo, Miss Clara!" Thomas exclaimed. Captain Morgan laughed and ruffled my hair, messing it up.

"You're so a Sirius Pirate, Clara! I'm proud of you!"

And then the Captain's eyes widened. "Sirius?! Y-You're the Sirius Pirates?!"

"Oh, so you do know about us." Eduardo raised an eyebrow.

"H-Have mercy! We didn't know that you're the Sirius! P-Please forgive us, Pirate King!"

So now he was begging for mercy. After what he did. I think they didn't learn much, eh.. Normally, Pirates would know immediately about Sirius when they saw our flag. They would run away and try not to get involved in fight with us, except for the Rika of course. They really were newbies, I guess. "What's your name and your ship name? I never saw you in Pirates Conference. You're newbie, eh?" Captain Morgan asked.

"I-I'm Belazard from the Éclater, we grouped a month ago!"

A month ago? But why they had such a treasure? But I didn't asked and stayed silent instead. Ugh.. I felt like I wanna puke again. Maybe I had seasick.. I went to the ship's edge and throw up again like last night. My head started to felt dizzy again. "Clara! Are you alright?" Eduardo approached me.

"Y-Yeah.. Just some seasick, I guess.."

Eduardo was not really convinced, but I shrugged it off and walked back to the crew with him following me. "Then what should we do to him, Captain?" Russell asked.

"Let's see.. Let's just throw him to the sea like the rest of his crew!" Captain Morgan laughed. We agree immediately, while Belazard cried, begging for mercy. We untied him and made him walk the plank. Then he fell and bye, Belazard!

And then, all of us went into the meeting room. Just then they were surprised when they found the treasure I stole from Éclater. Oh, right, I haven't told them about it.. "What is this?" Captain Morgan walked and picked a diamond.

"T-This is one of the rarest diamond! But why it's here?!" Captain gaped with wide eyes.

"Oh, that.. After I tied Captain Belazard, I thought stealing their treasures would be enough payment for the damage they caused on the Sirius. So I stole them, and then threw his crews to the sea." I explained. They looked at me, surprised. I guess it was surprising that a girl that once know nothing about being a Pirate can do such thing.

"You did a really good job, Clara!"

"You really are a Pirate, huh!"

They started to praise me. Then we sat and discuss about our next location. "We should treat our wounds first. We must go to the nearest port, Captain." Christopher said.

"Then I'll do it right away." When Eduardo was going to stand up, I pulled his shirt.

"There's no need. We will arrive at Moldor about an hour from now. It's the nearest port. I already steered us there last night and checked it before I woke you guys."

They looked at me surprised again. Then they started to laughed. "Clara already be a full pirate!"

"We don't know what we should do last night if you're not here!"

"I'm glad you're here with us!"

Eduardo patted my head. "Good job. That's my girl." He smirked.

After an hour, we arrived at Moldor and met up with Eduardo's father. He helped us to the hospital without being chased by the Navy. While they got treated, I also checked myself at a female doctor. My seasick was getting worse, I must heal it. The doctor was so nice. She was an Uru, just like Eduardo's mother. She checked me up while talking with me. "So, is one of those six hot guys your husband?" She asked. She must be referring to Sirius.

"W-Well.." I blushed. Husband, huh.. We weren't really married yet. But we already act like one. Plus that Eduardo was the Uru King, and I was the Uru Queen.. It really sounded like we were already got married. Sounded kinda crazy..

"Let me guess, is it the bandana? Or the one who dressed like a Pirate Captain?"

I shook my head. "N-No, it's the one with the eye-patch."

"Oh! The Uru one? I'm an Uru myself! Why he hid his eye?"

Despite everything, I decided to tell her the truth. "His name is Eduardo. He's half Uru and half Moldor. His father is your leader. Once, he really hates his father for leaving him and his mother. But then we found out that it's for their sake. He hid his Moldor eye with his eye-patch because of it. Now he still wears it because he already got used of it."

"I've heard of him! I heard he's the King of Uru by now. He also a pirate, but on this town, pirates are our hero! Wait, are you possibly a pirate too and the Queen of Uru..?"

"I am a Pirate.. About Uru Queen.. I have the tiara, but.."

"Uru Ancient Tiara?!" She said, surprised. I nodded unsurely. "Amazing! Then you ARE the Queen! At your service, Your Highness." We joked and talked happily. I felt like a found a new friend. She said her name was Loretta. I told her my name, and we promised to see each other again one day. Then she finished checking me up.

"Congratulations, Your Highness!" She said with a happy face. Yeah, she called me Your Highness even though I told her to call me by my name. Wait, congratulations? What did she mean? That I was not really sick so she congratulated me?

"What do you mean, Loretta?"

Loretta shook my hand. "Your Highness and His Highness will have little Prince/Princess 7 months from now!"

Oh.

Wait, what?

"Huh..? Do you mean.."

"Yes! Your Highness is pregnant! It's already 2 months!"

WHAT?! PREGNANT?!

...Suddenly, I got these weird feelings. Happy, confused, tired, sad, I didn't know what else. All of them mixed into one. "Your Highness? What's wrong?" Loretta asked me. Should I tell her my position that made me uneasy? I forced a smile.

"Thank you, Loretta. I'm happy, I really do. But you know, being a Pirate makes this hard. Plus Eduardo had bad relationship with his father. He might be upset about this.. And I can't possibly raise a child on a ship. What if when the time comes, I'm in the middle of the sea? Our doctor is a man, he doesn't know anything about giving birth. And how I will tell the other crew? Also Eduardo really love being on the ship.. I don't know what to do.."

"Your Highness.." Loretta hugged me. "You can do it, I'm sure of it. Anything you choose, I will always support you."

"Loretta.." I returned her hug. "Thank you. Thank you so much, Loretta.."

When I got out from Loretta's room, I went to the doctor's room where the Sirius guys were. They were treated nicely, I see.. Christopher had a long conversation with the doctor. Medical stuff, I think. I was holding Eduardo's gun, so he couldn't do anything bad. Russell's swords were on the ship. I approached Eduardo and sat beside him. "Where were you?"

"Having my own check-up. Are you alright? There's nothing wrong, right?"

He held my hand and squeezed it. "I'm alright. The question is how about you?"

I wanted to tell him.. I really did.. But I couldn't.. "I'm fine, just like always. Doctor said I'm only a bit tired."

"That's good. The Doctor said we can go after he treats Russell. He broke his left arm. Russell and Thomas must stay, so Captain told me that we're going to stay in a hotel." Eh? Russell broke his left arm? Luckily his right arm was fine, so at least he still could use one of his two swords. Thomas' head was bleeding so bad, so it got sewed and wrapped. Captain Morgan only had a few wounds. Nathan and Christopher lost quite an amount of blood, but they got it handled already. I nodded, understand.

I was still uneasy about this child in my stomach.. What would Eduardo say about this? I was scared he would reject it.. What should I do..? My left hand rubbed my stomach. 'Stay in there, honey. No matter what daddy say, mommy will always be with you.' I thought softly.

"What is it? Are you hungry?"

Ah, I forgot Eduardo was still here.. So I just nodded. I was getting better in acting now. "Yeah.. I haven't eat anything since last night.." I said. It wasn't a lie, though. I was hungry too. Ah, I wanted Yamato Cuisine.. Must hold this or Eduardo would find out! He stood up and talked to Captain, and then we went to eat.

Eduardo took me to a Yamato Restaurant. And that surprised me! "You may get better in acting, but I still can read your eyes, Clara. You want to eat Yamato food, right?" Eduardo said without looking at me. My eyes widened at his words. 'Eduardo.. Then why don't you read my heart, about our child here?' I thought sadly.

We went in and sat. I ordered steak and Yamato tea, while Eduardo ordered seafood and mineral water. "Eduardo, is your head alright? Is it fine for you to walk around now?" I asked in worry tone. He just got out from hospital, right? What if something happened to him?

"I'm fine. Who do you think I am?"

I giggled at his answer. I was worried about our child, but Eduardo was always able to wipe my uneasiness. But still, I couldn't tell him about this child. What should I do? 'Honey, will you get mad at mommy if mommy leave daddy for you?' I whispered to my child from the back of my mind.

.

.

.

I had decided. Even though it was hard, I decided to leave the Sirius. It took me a day full to come up with this decision. I never wanted to leave Eduardo's side.. But I just couldn't tell him about this child.. What if he didn't want this child? And a ship wasn't good for a baby.. After Russell and Thomas got out from hospital, I ran away. Eduardo didn't saw me. I think they thought I was kidnapped. But the truth was I boarded on a ship towards Yamato. I left a letter on Eduardo's cabin, for all of the Sirius. I thanked them for taking care of me. But I didn't tell them the reason why I ran away. 'I'm sorry, Eduardo.. But I really can't tell you about this child.. I really love you.. I hope we will meet again, sometime..' Tears rolled down my cheeks as I stepped into Yamato's port.

It would be really hard, I knew that.

Forget about Eduardo? That's impossible..

This all was my decision. No matter how hard would it be, I must face it.

Yes, I was standing on my own.

I would give birth to this child.. I would take care of him/her.. I would always love this child just like I love Eduardo..

I'm sorry, Eduardo.. Good bye..

To Be Continue

OMYGOSHOMYGOSHOMYGOSH DID I REALLY TYPED THOSE STORY?!

Next chapter will be Clara's life after she left Sirius. And third chapter will be Eduardo Point of View, climax, and the ending. What will happen to Eduardo, Clara, and their child? Is their child a girl? Or a boy? What's the name of their child? How Clara give birth to their child? Where will she live? Found it out at the next chapters!

Any suggestion about the child's name? I haven't decided the name and gender.. I have some ideas, but not really sure about it. Give me two girl names and two boy names! One name is Japanese-type name, one name is free. Warning : Spoilers! Their child will use an eye-patch like Eduardo's! He/She will have different eye colors like his/her father. I'm not sure what the color of Uru's eyes is. So I'll make it black. Black and blue, because in here Clara have blue eyes.

Sorry for grammar fails! I'm Indonesian, so English isn't my mother language! Anyway, will you review this chapter? I beg of you!

See ya!

Updated: I edited some and changed her name to Clara (my other OC) because Aori is too Japanese for PiL. I will only use Aori in fandoms with Japanese-based names starting from now. So it will be either Aori Rihito or Clara Licht.
