Disclaimer: I do not own One Piece at all. Just Sun,Rae, and the babies
the beginning was hard to write. i erased it, like, five times. But I finally got it the way I wanted it. SO please enjoy.
About five months had past since that night when Kenn felt the anger. He couldn't bring himself to tell his mom. And a part of him didn't want to accept it either.
He had tried so hard to get over the fact that he killed his father. When he was finally able to coop with it, he feels him alive.
Kenn sat near the ocean, thinking about what he should do. 'I doubt he'll be stupid enough to come looking for her. Maybe he'll find some mermaid and be with her instead.'
"What you thinking?" He looked over his shoulder to see his mom approaching him. Her stomach had gotten way bigger since they found out about the pregnancy. Everybody thought she was five months into the pregnancy, but now they're not so sure.
"Nothing mom."
"Really?" He noticed the roll on her eyes. "Kenn, help me sit down." He stood up quickly and gave her his hand. She held onto it tight as she lowered herself down onto the sand. When she was settled down, he returned to his spot.
"Like I said mom, I'm not thinking of anything."
"Sure, yeah right. Now what's bothering you?"
"Well…" His thoughts ran around quickly, he was trying to think of something else to tell her. One thing popped to his mind.
"Kenn, you better tell me quickly before I attack you."
"I'm worried about you mom. The doctor isn't sure how far along you are. What if you have the baby right here or what if you have it so suddenly and Zolo will freeze and none of us will know what to do."
"Calm down. To make you feel better, I've been writing letters to my doctor explaining how paranoid everybody is. He's prepared a room for me that I can move into any time I want. To make everybody feel better, I'm moving in next week. Ok?"
"Yeah, I feel better." She leaned over and gave her son a hug.
"You don't have to worry about me. I'm the mom; I should be worrying about you."
"Nothing to worry about with me."
"Really? What about those late night battles with Zolo?" His eyes widened. She found out the secret. Did Zolo spill it out?
"What battles?"
"Don't play dumb with me. I use to play that game with my mama all the time."
"How'd you find out?"
"Did you know Zolo talks in his sleep? He kept going on about how he now has a new rival and he was going to defeat him. One night, he screamed out your name in anger. So I figured it out."
"Wow, mom's smart."
"And don't you forget it." She gave him one last hug and used his shoulder to help herself up. When she was walking back to the house, she passed by her daughter.
"Siria, remember this. Men always have some kind of weakness." Her daughter looked at her weird before continuing to walk towards her brother.
"Uh…did I miss something?" She stood behind him.
"Nope. Only that she's gonna leave in a week to the hospital."
"Already, but didn't they say she was only five months into the pregnancy?"
"They said they think she's five months, but they're not sure. She wants to be safe."
"You told her to do it, didn't you? You've always been the 'better safe then sorry' type of guy."
"I didn't do it, I swear. She could just tell that I was worried. And so is everybody else."
"Whatever." She was getting ready to walk away until she heard her brother start talking again.
"Sis, Dad's still alive." She gasped.
"What? No way. I saw him die."
"He is."
"Well…maybe we'll be lucky and he'll move on with his life." She tried to think positive. But it was hard. She never forgot how he threatened to kill her.
"I doubt it. Just don't tell mom. She's already worrying about me and Zolo. All this stress can't be good for the health of her or the baby."
"Deal. This stays between us."
-------------------------------------------------------------------
That night, everybody decided to gather for a family dinner; Sanji was cooking, of course.
Sun and Zolo rested in their bedroom. They didn't have to be at Nami's house until 8. And it was only 6:30 pm.
Zolo was running his hands through Sun's hair while she just smiled up at him. These quiet moments were some of the ones she enjoyed the most.
This quiet moment was interrupted by a strong, pulsing pain she felt inside her stomach. She hissed from how sharp it felt.
"Are you OK?"
"Yeah, I'm fine." She tried to ignore the pain but it only seemed to get worse every time.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, I'm sure." She stood from their bed and started to head towards the bathroom that was in the middle of the hall. When she was halfway there, the pain caused her legs to suddenly give out on her. She fell onto the ground, she clutched onto her stomach.
"What's going on?" She whispered to herself. One of her hands came up to her mouth to shield her cough. She felt something wet on her hand. When she looked, she saw blood.
"ZOLO!" She cried out for him. He came running to her side. "Zolo, something's happening to the baby." That was all she had to say. Her picked her up, bridal style, and ran out of their house. Thankfully, most of the crew was outside.
Sanji was fishing, Luffy was 'playing' with Rae, and Usopp was teaching Mariko, Bliss, and Siria about art. Kenn was no where in sight.
"Guys, get the ship ready." He yelled at them.
"What's going on?" Nami came out of her house.
"Something's happening to the baby." Zolo informed everybody.
"Well, what you waiting for? HURRY UP!" Nami yelled at the boys. Sanji dropped the fishing pole and ran towards Luffy, pulling him away from Rae. Usopp followed them as well.
"We'll watch the kids." Nami assured Sun.
"You better take care of my sister, Zolo." The ship came closer to the shore. Zolo ran up the ramp and they took off.
"Hang on, honey." He ran down the stairs of the ship and entered a room. He laid her down onto the bed in there. "Please hang on."
"Zolo…it hurts." She was still grasping onto her stomach in pain.
----------------------------------------------------------
Kenn strolled along in the forest behind the houses. He always went there when ever he needed to think.
He suddenly felt an urge to go back to his home. He didn't know why the urge wouldn't go away. So he just complied with it and headed back.
When he got there, he noticed that all the guys were gone. And he also noticed that his mom was missing.
"Hey bro." He saw his sister running towards him.
"What's up?"
"Something was wrong with mom. Zolo and the others are rushing her to the hospital right now." Kenn was shocked.
"What?"
"They think something's happening to the baby." He stayed silent. He knew how much his mom cared about this baby.
"What can we do?"
"There's nothing you can do." Rae and Nami came over to him. Rae was the one speaking to him. "Just relax. We'll see what happens. Let's go into the house and eat something." Rae practically had to drag Kenn into the house.
He sat on the couch, staying silent the entire time. He didn't feel like talking at all. Every once in a while, one of the girls would come and seat next to him. Just to check up on him.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The hours that past seemed to turn into days. And soon, it was weeks. Nobody got even one letter from them. To be able to comfort each other, everybody temporarily moved into Rae's home.
"The kids are asleep." Nami came walking into the kitchen where Rae is.
"How long are we gonna call them kids? They're practically grown ups."
"I will always call them kids." They both took a seat at the kitchen table and drank some coffee. "You're worried, huh?"
"She's my sister. I can't help but be worried. And add on the worry from Kenn, I just want to hear that my sis is healthy."
"And the baby too." The two went on about random stuff until they heard a loud thud. They quickly placed their cups down and ran outside to see what it was.
The Merry Go has returned. Rae and Nami were anxious and nervous at the same time to hear the news.
"Gang way, coming through." Luffy and Usopp were under the huge wooden crate, Luffy in front and Usopp in back. Luffy had no trouble at all, but Usopp was having a hard time holding up his side of the crate.
"Be right back." They both ran into Sun's and Zolo's house. Sanji was the next one to come off the ship; he was carrying a few bags.
"Hello my sweet. It's great to see your gorgeous face again." He gave Nami a quick kiss on the cheek before following after Luffy and Usopp.
Last to come off the ship were Zolo and Sun. Sun was in a wheelchair and Zolo was the one pushing it.
Rae and Nami noticed the little something that Sun was cradling in her arms. They gasped; it had to be the baby.
When Zolo was finally off the ramp, the two girls couldn't help but rush over to see if it was really a baby.
"Sis, you're alive." Rae wrapped her arms around her sister's neck and gave her a big hug. Nami came in on the other side and did the same thing.
"Of course I'm alive. Did you think I was going to die?" The three of them shared a laugh. Nami and Rae moved away to get a better look at the bundle in Sun's arms.
"Sis…is it really?" Sun and Zolo looked up at each other before looking at Rae and nodding. Sun gently removed some of the blanket covering the bundle to reveal the face of a sleeping baby.
"Guys, meet my new daughter, Zira."
