Notes: my first (and probably last) mpreg written on a whim after I found a really cute picture of Luffy and his baby; no doubt a little OOC, but it was more or less a one-shot written in two days

Nausea

"Hey, Luffy!" Usopp waved when he noticed the boy as he was climbing down from the crow's nest, Luffy's figure leaning over the railing. Frowning when Luffy didn't respond and seemed to be ignoring him, Usopp trotted over. "Oi, Luffy. Didn't you hear me?"

The sound of gagging filled Usopp's ears and he hesitated before realizing Luffy wasn't leaning over the railing; he was pitched halfway over it with his head out of sight. Running up to him, Usopp was shocked to see Luffy retch again, his chest heaving as he struggled to breathe. "Luffy...?"

Still breathing hard, Luffy pulled his body back to raise his head and wipe at his mouth with the back of a hand. He turned to Usopp with tired eyes. "I think I'm sick."

"I'll go get Chopper," Usopp agreed and rushed towards the men's cabin. "Chopper! Oi! Luffy's sick!"

The reindeer rubbed his eyes with a hoof. "Usopp?"

"It's Luffy," Usopp said. "He's throwing up."

Chopper bolted upright at the urgent tone in Usopp's voice and even Zoro and Sanji tensed in their hammocks. "What, where?"

"Up on the dock."

Fatigue

"What happened?" Chopper asked, taking Luffy's temperature as the boy groaned, eyes drooping closed.

"Luffy. Oi, Luffy. Don't you dare throw up on me, you hear? I'll make you pay more than you'll ever be able to repay me," Nami warned when Luffy clutched at his stomach, head settled in her lap as she held his bangs back.

"I don't know," Usopp said. "I was coming down from night watch and he was at the railing. I thought he was just up since he's been sleeping all the time, but then I heard him throw up. All he said was that he thought he was sick."

Chopper frowned. "He's been sleeping a lot?"

"Almost as much as Marimo," Sanji said, ignoring the angry retort. "Every time I go into the men's cabin those two are always asleep on the couch."

"He's a bad influence," Nami grumbled, glaring at the man in question. "You hear me?"

Zoro scowled from Nami's side. "Shut up."

"Asshole! Don't speak to Nami like that!"

"His temperature is a little high," Chopper admitted, stopping another generic fight before it started. "Not high enough for a fever, though."

"Will Captain-san be alright?" Robin asked.

Chopper nodded. "He should be fine, but he should go rest just in case."

Chest Sensitivity

"Zoroooo," Luffy whined quietly, squirming when Chopper pressed against his chest. "Ow!"

Chopper frowned. "That hurt?"

"Yeah," Luffy said, scowling at the little doctor when he pressed a hoof against his chest again. "Still hurts."

"Hmm... Heightened sensitivity?" Chopper mumbled to himself. He pressed his hoof against Luffy's arm. "Does this hurt?"

Luffy shook his head. "No."

Chopper then pressed hard against his knee. "This?"

Luffy snickered and his foot twitched against his sandal. "No, that tickles."

"Just your chest?" Chopper asked and his expression darkened when Luffy nodded. "Did you get into a fight and not tell me about it?"

"No," Luffy said quickly; he feared Chopper's medical wrath just as much as anyone else. "Not since the marines last week and I wasn't even bruised then."

"Well..." Chopper scanned Luffy's body, quick darting around for any disguised diseases or dangers to the boy's health. "I'll have to look into this, but I can't think of anything right now."

"I'm feeling better anyways," Luffy insisted, sitting up and grinning. "See?"

Chopper frowned and pointed at him. "You're not getting off the hook, though! I want you to tell me everything that happens until I figure this out!"

"Okay," Luffy assured him with a smile. "I promise."

Chopper nodded. "Good. Now go rest, okay?"

Luffy sighed. "Okay."

Cravings

"Sanji! I'm hungry!"

Sanji sighed. "Not right now, Luffy. Lunch is almost ready."

"Please?" Luffy whined. "Just one snack? I promise not to come back until lunch!"

"Well..." Sanji frowned, hesitant to believe him. "Only if you don't come back until I call for you and no stealing Nami-san and Robin-chan's snacks either!"

"Promise!" Luffy nodded.

"Alright then," Sanji said, smiling despite himself when Luffy's eyes lit up. It never got old to see Luffy fully appreciate his skills meal after meal. "What do you want?"

Luffy thought, looking up at the ceiling. "Mea- Olives and ice cream!"

Sanji had to stop chopping vegetables to turn and stare at the Luffy. "What?"

"Olives and ice cream," Luffy repeated but seemed just as perplexed at the odd outburst.

"Are you serious?" Sanji asked, frowning when Luffy nodded enthusiastically.

"Well... okay," Sanji said, casting another wary glance at Luffy before turning to the fridge and grabbing a large tub of vanilla ice cream before reaching into a small cupboard above. Returning to the counter and grabbing a bowl and spoon, he gave the snack over to the waiting teen. "Is this what you wanted?"

"Thanks, Sanji!" Luffy grinned after inhaling the food as per usual and offered him the empty bowl. "I promise I won't come back!"

"Right," Sanji agreed distractedly, staring at the item now in his hands. He shrugged after a moment's consideration and dumped it in with the other dirty dishes. "Who ever heard of such a strange combination? That weird rubber-man..."

Aroma Sensitivity

"Lunch!" Sanji shouted as he opened the door to the gallery. "Nami-san! Robin-chwan! Your meal of love had been prepared!"

"Yay! Lunch!" Usopp and Luffy cheered, scrambling to their feet from where they had been wrestling for the last slice of Nami's mikan she had thrown at them, a special treat no one ever gave up without a fight. Luffy stuffed the item into his mouth when Usopp let go and grinned proudly, chasing the sniper to the gallery only to stop short at the doorway.

"Ahh-!" Luffy yelped, slamming a hand over his face and stumbling back. "Smells!"

Sanji scowled. "What did you say, shitty rubber?"

"What did you make, Sanji?" Luffy whined, swallowing hard against the bile rising in his throat. "It's really strong."

"What are you talking about, Luffy?" Nami snapped, breathing in deeply. "Don't be rude. It smells delicious."

"Ah, Nami-swan's too kind! How you spoil me!"

"Since when have you ever been repulsed by food at all?" Zoro asked as he made his way up the stairs.

Luffy looked up at the man from where he'd fallen, hands still clutching at his face. "It's not bad, Zoro, it's just really strong!"

"It's not too strong," Sanji retorted sharply. "Sit down, assholes. Lunch is served."

Luffy frowned again and followed Zoro in, eyes watering as he sat down. "Nnnnn..."

"If the smell is upsetting you, Captain-san, perhaps you should eat outside," Robin offered, smiling up at Sanji. "Right, Cook-san?"

"Anything Robin-cwan desires!" Sanji sang before scowling and picking up Luffy's plate, dragging Luffy out by the back of his vest. He shoved the food into Luffy's chest. "Here."

"I'm really sorry, Sanji!" Luffy told him urgently, hugging the plate. "I really want to eat your food and I'm really hungry! Everything you make is always yummy so I was just really surprised! I'll eat inside!"

Sanji felt a pang of guilt and sighed at the teen. "Don't worry, idiot. You're sick, right? It's not your fault. I'll try to air out the gallery after lunch."

"Thanks, Sanji," Luffy mumbled. "Sorry."

"I told you not to worry about it, okay? Just eat everything and I'll be happy."

Luffy beamed up at him. "Okay!"

Sanji chuckled and turned back through the doorway. "Good."

Mood Swings

"Zoro!" Luffy whined, falling into the swordsman's lap and hugging him tightly.

Zoro woke with a start, frowning at the teen in his arms. "What the hell? Get off."

"I thought you were gone," Luffy muttered into his neck. "I woke up and you weren't there..."

Still frowning Zoro reached a hand up to rest in Luffy's hair. "What are you talking about?"

"I had a dream you were angry at me and it felt really real," Luffy said, drawing back to stared at the swordsman. "Then I woke up and you were gone. I thought you left."

"Why would I leave?" Zoro asked, not waiting for an answer before pulling Luffy closer into a kiss. "Stupid. I'm not going anywhere."

"I've never had a dream that real before," Luffy said before yawning. "It was scary."

"You're still tired?" Zoro asked.

"Mhmm..."

"Maybe I am a bad influence on you," Zoro chuckled.

"Zoro, don't say that!" Luffy barked suddenly, causing Zoro to stare at him in surprise. "You're not a bad influence on me! I love you so I don't care! Are you saying I shouldn't be around you? Do you hate me?"

Zoro blinked a few times at the sudden outburst. "Luffy... I never said any of that."

"Well you meant it," Luffy huffed, getting up. "Whatever. I'm going to see Usopp."

"Wait," Zoro said, catching Luffy's wrist. "Stay. What's gotten into you? I never told you to leave, did I?"

"No," Luffy said before allowing himself to be dragged back down. "I guess not."

"Then go to sleep if you're tired," Zoro said.

"Okay," Luffy nodded, head resting against Zoro's chest. "But promise you won't leave."

"Not even when I die," Zoro assured him with another kiss pressed into his hair.
