Chapter 2: Growing a Little and Meeting Family

As months pass by, I was slowly reaching a year old, relearning many things (mainly relearning muscle memory), but I have yet to crawl. Not that I don't want to move or anything, but I just want to walk, not crawl. I know that I'm worry my parents, so I'm detirrmined to walk today.

Right now I'm being babysat by a very calm Kuma, who just happened to fall asleep several minutes ago. I carefully (and oh so quietly) climbed out of my crib and stood silently watching Kuma. After making sure he stayed asleep, I tested my walking ability. I had a waddle, but I was sturdy and oddly enough was silent as a ninja.

I waddled to the cracked door to the hallway and silently pulled it open. I looked down the hallway on both sides and grinned. Nobody was here in the hallway. I swiftly made my way to where I could feel Dady was at. For some reason I couldn't feel Mommy right now. Yeah, I just said feel; I can literally tell who is who just by their pressence.

I waddled straight upto the door that I just knew Daddy was behind. This door, like my own, was cracked open. Again, I silently pushed it open. Daddy was standing on his balcony, so I decided to crawl under his desk. I wonder when they will notice that I'm missing. I grinned and snuggled into the carpet and slowly fell asleep.

After what felt like a few minutes, I woke up andeverything was silent. I noticed Daddy's feet next to me and was hit with a mischievous thought, 'Let's tie Daddy's shoes together!'

After tying Daddy's shoes together I started crawling to the closet and glanced up at Daddy, noticing that he was asleep. I crawled into the closet and pulled it mostly closed so I could see out it. After some time passed Kuma walked in and went to Daddy, waking him up.

"Dragon, Sheiarra is no longer in the nursery." Kuma stated. "We were taking a nap and when I awoke, she was no longer in the room."

Daddy stood up quickly and went to take a step, but because I tied his shoes together earlier, he tripped. Daddy looked down with wide eyes after he got up, and quickly redid his shoes the correct way. I nearly busted out laughing after that happened, but I was quick to hold on to my laughter.

"Is someone trying to sabatage or prank us?" Daddy asked quietly.

"I don't know, but we still have to find Skylarra. It's almost time to feed her." Kuma stated smoothly. I grinned as they left the office door open when they left in a rush, well Daddy did anyway.

That's when I felt a presence similar to Mommy, but not quite her. I got curious and decide to go find it. I got up and waddled out of the closet and office, looking down both sides of hall. Daddy and Kuma were already gone, so I waddled towards the presence and followed it all the way down four different hallways.

When I finally got to the room It was in and looked in, I was immidately noticed by said presence. The presence was an old man (to me atleast) that was very fimiliar, Silvers Rayleigh. He gave a very toothy grin and picked me up while I squealed and babbled at him.

"Well now! I thought Sheila said you didn't know how to walk yet." he said while I babbled and giggled at him. "Let's get you back to your Mommy and Daddy, shall we?" I burst out in loud laughter after he said Daddy, while he chuckled at my behavior.

Rayleigh carried me down the hall where my parents and Kuma were discussing where to search for me. As we rounded the corner, I couldn't help but to laugh loudly when I saw Daddy. Thus everyone stared at Rayleigh and me.

"Ray! Where did you find her?!" Mommy yelled as she rushed over to us to check me over.

"I didn't. She waddled her own way to me." Rayleigh stated. "I thought you said she couldn't walk yet, Sheila." They all looked at me in suprise.

"So where were you today, sweetheart?" Mommy asked looking at me and grinning. I let out a loud laugh again while she took me from Rayleigh.

"I mwake Daddy twip." I stated, while laughing at Daddy. He looked at me in shock, while Mommy smirked.

"And how did you make Daddy trip?" Mommy asked, while glancing up at Daddy. He was blushing and looking away.

"Shoes." I stated plainly. Rayleigh and Mommy cackled together, while Daddy took me from Mommy.

"That was really mean to Daddy, Sheiarra...but I have to admit...it was kind of funny, too." Daddy said while grinning. "And I see you met your Uncle Rayleigh as well." I looked at Rayleigh then grinned and reached for him.

He took me in his arms again and I reached up and hugged him around his neck. I saw a sadness in his eyes as I looked up at him.

"Unca Ray-ray huwrt." that statement startled everyone in the room. I stared sadly up at him, knowing that its the type of pain that goes away slowly. I lean against him to give my confort, while he smiled grimmly at me, taking the offered comfort.

"Its okay, it'll get better slowly." he said while i slowly fell asleep in his arms being fed.

Its been about a year since I met Uncle Rayleigh and I no longer have the childish lisp to my speach patterns. I recently convinced Daddy to teach me how to read and write just so I don't get too bored all the time. I advanced in that very quickly to the shock of my parents.

Today, though, I was bored rather quickly. I had already read through all my books several times over. So, I decided to go see what Daddy was up to. I approached Daddy's office door, where I knew he was as I can feel him in there somehow, and I opened the door to walk in. The problem was that Daddy was on the transponder snail.

"Daddy?" I asked quietly, thanking whatever higher being that our transponders were private ones. Dragon looked up and grinned, motioning me to him.

"Father, I'd like to introduce you to someone when you get here, alright?" he asked proudly, while picking me up.

"What is this about, Dragon? I've been trying to get a hold of you for a while now!" a rough, unknown voice yelled through the transponder as I stared wide-eyed at it.

"You'll see when you get here." Daddy said while chuckling. He looked at me after hanging up and saw me staring at him in curiosity. "Now what did you come to Daddy for, Sheiarrah?"

"I'm bored, Daddy!" I said, pouting. "I've read all my books at least three times and practically memorized them! I need new books or even writing material!"

"That was quite the rant there. I'll take you shopping soon, but we have to go meet your Grandfather Garp." Daddy said patting my head gently.

"Jiji?" I asked, tilting my head. Does this mean I get to meet Garp's crew?

"Yes, your Jiji." he chuckled at me. He stood up, putting me on his hip and walked to the small ship that we sometimes go out on. I looked around the ship as Daddy got it sailing. I loved this ship, it was so beatiful.

I grinned as I climbed up to the crows nest and looked out to the sea as it gave off a peaceful feeling. I could this was where I'm meant to be. Well, almost. I feel as if I should be under the water.

It was about two hours later when I finally felt some people off to the left of us. We had already anchored about 30 or so minutes ago, so I looked towards the approaching people. They weren't too far from us, so it didn't take long for them to pull up beside us and board our ship.

The first person I took notice of had to be my Grandfather Garp. He was in his Marine uniform and- holding a bundled blanket? The blanket felt like a person? Then it hit me. He was holding a baby in a blanket. (Yes, I had stupid moments. Shut up.) The second I took notice of was a younger looking Aokiji. Why was he here? Maybe he was still training his devil fruit powers? The rest stayed on their own ship.

"Alright Dragon. I'm here now, what is this all about?" my new Jiji asked. Daddy grinned, as he had noticed that I had climbed down and hid behind him before they got to the ship.

"You don't have to be shy, Sheiarrah," Daddy started speaking. "they're good people." I peeked around Daddy again, blushing.

"Daddy, is that Jiji?" I whispered quite loudly, looking up at him. He lifted me up and placed me on his hip, then faced Garp. Garp had the most amusing flabbergasted expression his face when he saw me. I blushed again and hid my face in Daddy's shoulder.

"Yes, sweetheart, that's your Jiji." Daddy told me gently, amused that I'm being shy towards Jiji and Jiji's expression. "Father, I'd like you to meet your granddaughter, Monkey D Sheiarrah."

"A gr-granddaughter?" Garp stuttered. "I have a- I mean I knew you would have children soon, but I never thought that I'd finally actually get grandchildren. How old is she?" I turned my head to look at Jiji and noticed him staring at me. My curiousity now out weighing my shyness.

"Sheiarrah will be two at the beginning of July." Daddy stated proudly. This made both marines look at me in shock.

"And she can speak in complete comprehendable sentences?" said a very stunned Aokiji.

"Do you want to hold her, father?" Daddy asked. I grinned and reached towards Jiji, wanting to be held by him. Daddy looked at me, then Jiji. Jiji gave a blinding grin and shfted his hold on the baby to one arm so he could the other to hold me. He gently took me from Daddy and looked me over.

"She's gorgeous. She has the family onix coloured hair and very pretty ocean coloured eyes. It looks like she has mermaid blood in her." Jiji started to rant about the observations he had of me.

I ignored him in favor of looking at the baby in his other arm. The baby had black hair and the cutest freckles. I then look up at Jiji.

"She's a quarter mermaid, father, but it came out strong in her." Daddy stated. Jiji nodded in understanding.

"Jiji, who baby?" I asked curiously, pointing at the baby in his other arm. Jiji looked down at me and then to the baby.

"This little one is my adopted grandson, Portgas D Ace." he said while grinning. This little baby was Ace?

Just as I looked at the baby again he opened his eyes. He looked at me and squealed while squirmming to be put down. I giggled at him and did the same. Jiji laughed at the two of us and placed us down on the deck. I decided to ignor the adults in favor of playing with baby Ace.

I was laughing joyously as I chased Ace around the deck of our ship. When I noticed a very strange presence in the sea and walked over to the edge of the deck and looked over the railing. There was something or someone in the water.

"Daddy?" I called out to the adults, getting their attention. They came over to where I was curious about what I wanted.

"What is it, sweetheart?" he asked softly. I looked up at him frowning.

"What is that?" I asked, pointing into the sea towards the presence.

"What is what, sweetheart? There's nothing there." he asked confused.

"You don't feel it, Daddy? What about you Jiji?" I asked quietly, as I felt sorry for the presence, as it felt as if it was lonely.

Jiji and Daddy looked startled by this question and looked at each other in worry. They then looked back to the sea for a few seconds until their eyes went wide in shock. They looked at me and then back to sea several times.

"Tell me what you feel, Sheiarrah. What does it feel like to you?" Daddy asked me. I look out at the sea and consentrated on the presence.

"Someone or something is lonely, as if they'vebeen alone for a long time. Why would you want to be alone for a long time? It hurts to be alone, doesn't it?" I ask them quietly. They share a look and nodded, as if agreeing.

"Why don't you try calling for them, sweetheart?" Daddy asked me smiling. I nodded and leaned over the railing.

"HELLO?!" I shouted out to the lonely presence. It let out a wave of shock and then I felt curiousity from it. It came closer and closer until a very pretty orca popped up out of the sea, making me squeal in suprise.

"Hello?" a voice came from the orca, at least to me there was a voice. I grinned and waved at the orca.

"Hello, my name is Sheiarrah. Why do you feel so lonely?" I asked it sadly. It looked at me in shock.

"I'm Orma. My mama left me here when I was asleep two years ago and that's why I'm lonely." Orma anwsers honestly. I looked up at Daddy and Jiji, only to see them looking at me in shock. I tilted my head curiously.

"Daddy can we keep Orma?" Daddy looked over at Orma and then, after a few minutes nodded his aceptance.

The rest of the day past by with the adults discussing my bloodline and me playing with Ace and talking to Orma. When the time came to go home, I sadly had to say goodbye to my new baby brother Ace and my new Jiji Garp. Orma followed me home as well. I hope Mommy likes Orma.

A/N: So, what did you think? Should I change some things? Should I make it differnet? What did you think about the addition of baby Ace and Orma? I need a little help with ideas for her early life, any sugestions are welcome.
