Longer chapter here. Enjoy~

"You want to look good for Nami and Sanji, right?" Zoro asked Luffy as he tried to brush his hair, but Luffy wasn't having it this morning. Hopefully the bad mood would go away before the couple came back. Zoro knew Luffy didn't mean to be fussy, but it was still frustrating when he didn't do anything he was told or asked to do. Zoro knew just forcing him to do something would hurt his feelings, so he just tried to go with it and treat his mood like a handicap.

"Let's go get some breakfast. I'll ask for Dadan to make pancakes," Zoro tried to bribe him, but Luffy still had a grumpy face. Zoro just sighed and crouched in front of him. "Luffy, what's wrong?" he asked kindly.

"No…" Luffy said sadly, not knowing how to convey what he was thinking. No was the closest thing he could say that had to do with his feelings. Luffy sat down on the floor and curled into a ball. He hoped Nami and Sanji wouldn't walk away and never come back, like all of the others.

"Luffy, they liked you. I'm sure they're gonna come back today," Zoro said gently, guessing on what Luffy was upset about. "Let's go wait for them." Luffy nodded and stood up, taking Zoro's hand with his tiny one. Looked like Zoro was right about what Luffy was sad about.

The day passed slowly while the brothers waited. Luffy was moping the whole time even though he had pancakes. Zoro would be angry if the couple didn't come back, but a little after lunch, there was a knock on the door, opened by Dadan. When Nami came into view in the hall, Luffy gasped and ran over to her, thankfully not tripping. Zoro got up and followed after him, but didn't hold his hand. He was sure Luffy wouldn't want to be babied right now. At least not by Zoro.

"Hi, Luffy!" Nami said happily, with a big smile as she crouched and held her arms out. Zoro smiled in fondness as Luffy hugged Nami. He was worried how Nami and Sanji saying no to him would hurt him, since he'd been upset all morning, thinking they might not come. Luffy had never really clicked with someone else like this besides Zoro. He did his best not to get jealous. At least Luffy's mood went up. Luffy let go of Nami and pointed to her while looking at Zoro.

"I see her. I told you they'd come back," he said gently with a big smile, which Luffy returned. The little one then lead Nami to his books enthusiastically and handed her the same book she'd read to him yesterday. Nami had dog eared the page they left off on and read from there while Luffy sat in front of her and watched her. She gave Luffy a warm fuzzy feeling, like Zoro did.

Sanji watched the scene with a smile, sitting on the carpet next to the ten year old. "Zoro?" he asked but continued to watch his wife and her little ball of joy at the moment.

"Hmm?" Zoro replied.

"Can you tell me what's different about Luffy?" Zoro sighed. It really wouldn't be fair for Luffy to get too attached when the two would just leave after knowing his problems. The ten year old lead Sanji to the other room, only to hear sudden crying. Zoro went back to the room to see Luffy crying while he looked at his brother from across the room.

Zoro hurried over to him. "I'm sorry, Luffy. I won't leave again. I thought you'd be okay with only Nami," Zoro told the little boy gently as he crouched in front of him. Luffy gave him a big hug. "I won't leave again. I'll be right here. I promise." Luffy held out his pinky, which Zoro intertwined with his own. Zoro sat down next to him and handed him his giraffe, putting his arm around Luffy's small shoulders, who was hiccupping. Nami was able to get the little one's attention back and have him listen to her read animatedly.

Sanji had to sit next to Zoro and said nothing, waiting for Zoro to speak to him. "When our mother was pregnant with Luffy, she was a hard core alcoholic. That's why he acts differently," Zoro confessed. "I've basically raised him from a baby. Our parents weren't exactly involved with us."

Sanji sighed. "I'm sorry to hear that. What's been affected by the alcohol?" Sanji asked. Zoro only answered because Sanji sounded genuinely concerned. He, too, did like Luffy. It would be sad if Nami couldn't adopt him because of disabilities that were in no way Luffy's fault.

"He's clumsy and uncoordinated, can't seem to learn how to talk, he has a hard time falling asleep. He's very easily distracted and can get really moody. He won't grow at a normal pace. He's just a bit slow in his thinking a lot of the time," Zoro listed. "That's everything I've noticed so far." He observed Sanji's expression as he spoke. Sanji's frown got deeper as he heard everything about Luffy. It was truly sad. "Tell me. Is there any chance you two are taking both of us?"

"I don't know. I know Nami wants you two, but we've never had children before, and two is a lot to suddenly start with. Especially with one who's mentally handicapped," Sanji said truthfully. "We can afford it, but neither of us is skilled in parenting yet. But I know, based on what just happened, Luffy can't be without you. Can he?"

"No. He usually gets upset when I'm even out of his view. I thought we could talk in private while he was distracted by Nami, but I was obviously wrong," Zoro told him, sounding immensely guilty. Seeing Luffy cry hurt, and seeing him cry because of Zoro hurt even more. "He's never clicked with someone like this before. He's always been very friendly, but he seems to be infatuated with your wife. And it looks like the feeling is mutual."

"Looks like it." Sanji took a deep breath. "Can I ask you something personal?"

"Doesn't mean I'll answer it, but go ahead," Zoro replied, somewhat suspicious of whatever Sanji was going to ask him.

"How did you raise him? You were seven when he was born. How could a child raise a handicapped baby? I just can't see how it'd be possible." Zoro wasn't sure if he would answer, but Luffy just was so in love with Nami that Zoro would do anything to keep the two together and keep Luffy happy like this. So he'd tell the truth.

"Luffy was born prematurely," Zoro began. "He was very sick for a while. I'm the one who named him. I pretended like our home life was fine, which may have been the wrong thing to do, I don't know. Our mom was still drinking after Luffy was born, and I did a lot of researching and I wouldn't let him breastfeed from her, so I stole or bought formula to keep him alive. I learned everything from the internet, and changed his diapers and became his parent.

"I started noticing things weren't exactly right when he was still under one years old. He couldn't sleep, was often fussy and distant. Always really distracted. Then it was a nightmare teaching him how to walk. He constantly fell down and I had to cover the room in pillows and blankets so he couldn't hurt himself.

"Once he was old enough to not need formula, I shared the food we were given, but I gave most of it to him because I thought he'd grow bigger if he ate more. But he doesnt grow normally. He's almost four, and he's still so tiny…" Zoro said distantly.

"Eventually, an incident happened where we had to leave the house and finally seek police help. Then we were both put in foster care. I never told anyone about his problems, though others can see it. Only a little bit. They never see all of his problems. There's nothing anyone can do about it anyways. Not as of now. So I'll continue to take care of him, and I won't regret it or resent it. Luffy is my life," he finished. Sanji eyed him from the side.

"You know, you really don't sound like a ten year old. I take it more than just taking care of Luffy has hardened you?" Sanji observed, causing Zoro to frown and go back to paying attention to Luffy. He and Sanji had been talking quiet enough so it didn't distract Luffy from hearing his story.

Sanji switched subjects, asking Zoro, "What kind of foods do you two like? I'm a cook."

"Luffy likes snacking on carrots and Cheerios. We've never really snacked on foods much, so that's really all I can tell you," the ten year old replied. "We try and conserve food, even though we're given plenty. We don't waste food." Sanji smiled at this. It was time for him to tell a personal story.

"When I was a child, me and my guardian were left stranded on an island for a month, with little food. It was only a bag full of perishables. I conserved it for all those days, and even ate the food when it was moldy. We obviously got off, but ever since then, I've never wasted any food, and don't let others when I cook for them. I'll feed anyone who is hungry, regardless of whether they can pay or not. I will never forget the pain of being terribly hungry," Sanji told him. "I try not to have anyone else ever feel that if I can help it." Zoro smiled at this. Sanji seemed like a good guy.

"I never liked people wasting food when I looked in the garbage carts outside. That food could be going to someone who would actually appreciate it," Zoro responded. "Luffy will eat anything, but he loves pancakes and pasta. Preferably butterfly noodles. When he eats, most of the time he makes a mess and I have to wipe his face and hands off because he's not too good at holding forks or spoons. Just a warning if we ever eat meals together."

Luffy interrupted their conversation and Nami's reading by patting Zoro on the knee and pointing to the TV. "Luffy, we just watched it. Don't you want to play with Nami?" Luffy furrowed his small brows and shook his head. "Alright," Zoro caved. Then he addressed the two adults. "Luffy wants to watch The Lion King with you." Nami smiled.

"Is that your favorite?" Nami asked the little one. Luffy nodded with a smile. Zoro always felt it was strange Luffy could understand what others said most of the time but could still not speak back to them. Zoro usually knew what Luffy was trying to communicate from experience and understanding all of Luffy's signs. Then there were moments when Luffy had no idea what was being said to him, like the day before when Luffy had to be told to lift three fingers to show his age.

"I don't have a problem watching it," Nami said sweetly. "I haven't seen it in a long time." Luffy clapped his hands once, happy Nami was going to watch his favorite movie with him.

"Does he understand Mufasa's death?" Sanji asked Zoro quietly as they both stood up.

"No, he doesn't. I think he thinks he is just sleeping. And he doesn't really understand the crying part. If he did, he'd be upset and I wouldn't let him see the movie again. But luckily he doesn't have a clue." Zoro stayed right next to his brother as they all headed to the TV. Some of the other kids sighed. The movie was on all of the time and they'd grown tired of it long ago.

When Luffy was almost to the couch, he stumbled and fell forwards, but Zoro was there and gently caught him under the stomach naturally. Neither one acted like this was surprising. They just kept walking towards the couch, now holding hands. Sanji didn't look surprised either, but Nami did.

"Is he okay?" she asked Zoro, sounding concerned. Zoro picked up Luffy and sat him on the couch in the corner where he liked the nestle in with a blanket on, which Zoro got and put over Luffy with only his arms and head out from under it so he could suck his thumb. Zoro replied as he got the movie set up.

"He's fine. It happens all of the time." Once the movie was set up and running, Zoro asked Luffy if he wanted to sit next to Nami. He nodded with a smile, and Nami sat right next to him. She would watch the movie over and over with him if he wanted. Luffy was just so sweet, even if he did act a bit out of the ordinary. She had had to pull his attention back multiple times while she read to him, but he always focused again with a smile.

"Luffy, I'll be right back. I'm going to get your Cheerios, okay?" Zoro asked him. Luffy nodded okay, making Zoro smile. He left to pour some plain Cheerios into a small bowl and brought it back. "Good job," he told Luffy for him not crying about Zoro going out of his view. Luffy smiled at the praise. Zoro handed Luffy his plastic bowl of cereal and pressed play on the movie, sitting next to Sanji on the floor against the couch.

Luffy pat Nami's arm with his small hand and offered to share his Cheerios with her, who smiled and ate a few pieces from his bowl. Sanji would look up at him sometimes, and was interested that Luffy's attention never strayed from the movie while he either snacked or sucked his thumb.

"This is the only thing that keeps his attention from straying for more than twenty minutes," Zoro told Sanji quietly, noticing his gaze often directed at his little brother.

"Only this movie?" Zoro nodded.

"I think he also likes the music. Did you see his face during the opening?" Zoro asked the man. Sanji nodded with a small smile. Both he and Nami had watched as Luffy's eyes practically sparkled while watching the opening scene. It was very cute. Luffy seemed like a little bundle of joy, though Sanji was told he could be pretty moody. Sanji had looked up symptoms of FAS, and moodiness was one of them. But everyone had their share of moodiness, so Sanji couldn't really see anything wrong with him being occasionally moody.

Sanji was even coming to like Zoro. The kid seemed to treat Sanji as an equal, and if they adopted him and Luffy, he knew, to Zoro, Sanji would never be "daddy". Maybe the cool uncle. Now, Luffy, on the other hand. Well, he could see Luffy calling him daddy, whenever he finally spoke, but only if Nami stopped hogging him. So Sanji would make him some delicious pancakes some time. He was sure he'd be allowed to use the kitchen here since the foster mother seemed to like how the short relationship was going so far.

Zoro paused the movie when Luffy said his name. "Potty," was all Luffy said. Zoro nodded and put him back on the floor and held his hand as they walked into the hall. Nami found Luffy's voice adorable and wished someday he'd use it to call her mommy.

"We'll be right back," Zoro told Nami and Sanji. Luffy was walking quickly. He really had to pee.

Nami sat on the couch with a smile while the two waited. Sanji stood up and sat on the couch next to her.

"I know what's different about Luffy," he said, gaining her attention. "Their mom drank a lot while she was pregnant with him," Sanji told her sadly. Nami's smile was replaced by a scowl.

"How awful," she replied angrily. Then she sighed. "Sanji, I really like Luffy. And you seem to like Zoro. Now that we know what's different, we can be better prepared. What are his symptoms? Did Zoro tell you?" she asked, her anger gone, now replaced with sadness at the thought of not adopting the brothers.

"Clumsy, easily distracted, moody, not able to speak, terrible at falling to sleep, slow sometimes and he isn't growing at a normal pace. There could be more health problems wrong with him that Zoro doesn't know about, Nami."

"And? We'll help him. It's not like we're dirt poor and can't afford a doctor. I just… he's what I imagined when I thought I could get pregnant," she told him quietly. "I don't mind having anything not normal about him. And Zoro seems to have been taking care of him and he's only ten."

"He was seven when he started raising Luffy. He's basically Luffy's parent," Sanji said.

"If a seven year old can raise a handicapped baby, then why can't we?" she asked sharply. Sanji had just given her powerful ammo for her point. This made her husband sigh.

"I just don't want either of us to get hurt if something goes very wrong," he said, thinking more about Nami than both of them. When Nami had a hard expression while looking at him, he finally said, "Let's just have more visits before we make up our minds."

"My mind is already made up, Sanji."

"Nami, we just met-"

"We're back," Zoro said as Luffy walked back quickly, making Zoro have to speed up to stay at pace with the little one. Zoro picked up Luffy when he lifted his arms in front of the couch. But when Luffy got set down he walked precariously closer to Nami and patted her lap. She set both arms on either side of her so Luffy could climb onto her legs. Zoro sat down next to him and Nami, Sanji on the other side.

"Ready to watch again?" Zoro asked, playing the movie when Luffy nodded. Nami looked at Luffy with such love. She was telling Sanji the truth when they decided to try that she imagined a Luffy. He didn't look like the little one did in her head, and she didn't imagine her baby having some sort of handicap. But Luffy's smile was the smile she'd seen in her head. The eagerness in his eyes when he saw her and his tight hugs.

She hesitantly wrapped her hands around his tiny body, not wanting to upset him, but he made no move to stop her. Sanji closed his eyes momentarily watching the two with a sigh, then looked back to watch the movie.

Zoro didn't miss this. He could guess what Sanji and Nami had been talking about while Luffy and Zoro were gone. Based on what Sanji had told him earlier, Nami wanted the two of them, and Sanji wasn't sure. But Zoro could see the trace of defeat when the man looked away and back to the movie that was almost over.

A bit before the movie ended, Sanji got up to talk to Dadan about cooking for Luffy. When he left the couch, Luffy watched him leave with a frown. Where was the nice man going? Nami saw Luffy's confused face, but he quickly brought his attention back to his favorite movie. Zoro also watched Luffy's reaction. The little one obviously liked Sanji, too, even though they hadnt interacted with each other at all yet.

Dadan told Sanji he was free to use the kitchen, and was given the same warning Zoro had given him about Luffy's eating habits. How messy he was. But Sanji knew it wouldn't be a problem because they had been planning on having a baby after all, and a baby is messy when it eats. So it would be ridiculous for Sanji to get irritated with the boy.

He had done more research on his phone earlier, and knew Luffy was probably developmentally delayed not just for his body. He didn't behave like a four year old should, since he was told Luffy was close to his birthday. He still behaved like a young toddler. But Luffy couldn't do anything about it, even if he knew what was different about himself, so there was no use thinking too much about it.

Sanji told Nami he was going to the store to get ingredients. Zoro asked Luffy if he wanted pancakes, to which his eyes lit up and he nodded. "Do you want chocolate in your pancakes?" Zoro asked after Sanji requested he did so. Luffy looked confused. Chocolate in pancakes? Instead of repeating the question, Zoro told Sanji he should make Luffy a sample when he got back. Luffy still looked at him, confused as to why his brother wasn't explaining.

"It's a surprise Luffy," Zoro whispered, like it was their secret though the two adults could hear them. Luffy nodded. Usually surprises were nice, like when he was given a bowl of ice cream, or when Zoro set up a big bubble bath for him where Luffy could get lost in the foam. Dadan had gotten mad at Zoro after that mess, so that was a one time surprise that wouldn't be happening again.

Sanji left just as the movie finished and Luffy stretched, he climbed off of Nami's lap and was ready for Zoro to put him back on the floor.

"Do you want to watch another movie while we wait for Sanji?" Zoro asked his brother. Luffy nodded. He liked sitting with both Nami and Zoro. The older brother pulled out a bunch of movie cases and told Luffy to pick. He chose How to Train Your Dragon and reached for Zoro's hand while he walked the few feet back to the TV stand. "Do you want to be in my lap?" Zoro questioned, to which Luffy nodded and Zoro sat cross legged on the carpet, giving Luffy the space to plop down in the empty hollow between Zoro's folded legs.

The movie began, and whenever Luffy's attention strayed, Zoro would whisper, "Look, a dragon!" in Luffy's ear. It worked every time, even when there was no dragon on the screen at the moment. Luffy really liked the music in this movie as well, though it was much more different than The Lion King.

Sanji shopped for ingredients for the best pancakes he could make Luffy. He was slightly irritated with Nami and how she didn't even consider his opinion in it, which was a bit unfair since Sanji would be the father after all. It was supposed to be a decision both agreed on. Luffy was cute and sweet and Nami loved him already, but he was worried about what would happen if Luffy came home with them. He couldn't really see a problem with Zoro, though he had a bit of an attitude. But he seemed very mature.

But no one knew how Luffy would react going some place different and around others besides his brother. He also didn't want to get attached to a child only to have him develop more and more health problems all because his birth mother drank while the bitch was pregnant with her son.

But Sanji had a feeling no one wanted to adopt Luffy. Well, not when they knew. From the question Zoro had sprung on them the moment they met, and his tired face, they'd probably never been approached with anyone with experience. And who would adopt a child with mental and physical problems with no experience?

Plus, Luffy seemed to need supervision every moment he does something. He knew Zoro did that, but he didn't have other things that are necessary to be an adult.

It's not that he dislikes the little boy, it's just that he doesn't want extra burdens on their first child. For Nami's sake. But who knows if they could have had a baby with problems? They couldn't exactly just leave their baby even if it had a mental problem... He was very torn.

Meanwhile at the foster home, Luffy had needed a break from Nami. Zoro had assured the woman it wasn't personal, and after doing things for a while, Luffy retreated to Zoro's lap to read picture books for the little one. It was a routine occurrence, and if Luffy didn't get his break when he needed it, he'd go into a sour mood, and Zoro didn't want Nami or Sanji to see Luffy upset yet.

Nami had agreed and just watched the two from the couch with a smile. If she was able to adopt them, she wished that she could do what Zoro was doing. But Nami wasn't going to rush with the affection with Luffy, since she had a feeling he'd be overwhelmed by too much physical contact with a near stranger. And then she got to thinking that they might be going too fast. Just because Luffy was super happy and affectionate with Nami didn't mean he wanted to spend every moment of every day with her, regardless of whether he gets sad when she leaves.

When Sanji came back with a couple bags of groceries, Nami was sitting on the couch, now on her phone. He went to the kitchen to put the ingredients in the fridge if they needed to and walked back to his wife.

"What are you doing over here?" he asked. Nami just smiled and informed him that Luffy had needed a break. Sanji frowned.

"It's fine, Sanji. You said it earlier. We just met. Maybe… we're going too fast after all. I don't mean I don't want them, it's just I want to be gradual with Luffy. I don't want him to be overwhelmed by us coming over every single day."

"Nami, I don't want to burst your bubble, but we aren't adopting cats here. They have a choice to come with us or not. Luffy really likes you, but Zoro said he's been friendly with everyone that visits. You might just be another friend he found and enjoys playing with. I really don't want you to get your hopes up," Sanji told her gently, causing her to wear a hurt frown. "Zoro says Luffy is infatuated with you, but Luffy's way of thinking is different than ours, or anyone else without a mental issue." He sighed at Nami saddened face and kissed her forehead. "I'm going to ask if he wants pancakes." Sani then walked to the brothers and crouched in front of them.

"Hi, Luffy. Do you want some pancakes," when Luffy didn't answer, he just stared at the picture book with a frown.

"He needs his break to be a bit longer," Zoro explained about his brother. "Luffy, after your break, do you want some fluffy pancakes?" he whispered in his ear. To this, Luffy responded with a vigorous nod of his head.

"Pancakes it is," Sanji said with a soft smile to Luffy, but the little one had already looked back to his picture book as Zoro began to read again. Luffy then put his giraffe down and reached over to his box of toys, Zoro supporting his torso as he did so, and pulled out his pink fluffy pom pom he liked to hold sometimes.

As Luffy took his long break, around twenty minutes, Nami was looking at furniture for their room (if they were adopted) on her phone, while Sanji was looking at something much darker. He was researching symptoms of Luffy's disorder, and as he looked, he got more uneasy every article he read. So many things could go wrong throughout Luffy's whole life.

When he looked over the couch to Luffy sitting in Zoro's lap, looking at the picture book but with a far away look, he felt pity for him. But he'd never want to adopt because of pity. Luffy reacting to his cooking would be a defining moment.

Luffy and Zoro walked back to the couch after Luffy finished his break, still holding his fluffy pom pom in his small hands. He smiled after he saw Nami and Sanji on the couch and remembered the tall man would make pancakes. But then he got distracted momentarily from something outside. Zoro walked behind him and whispered, "Pancakes, Luffy," gaining his attention and his walking to Sanji. He patted his leg and lead him to the kitchen. Sanji gave a small smile and followed the little one as he held his hand so he wouldn't trip over his own feet.

Luffy was sat on his bigger high chair that he had to sit in because he got unbalanced on regular chairs and watched Sanji cook.

"Luffy, remember this?" Zoro asked as he held a chocolate chip in his fingers. Luffy furrowed his brows. He'd only seen chocolate in squares or bars. "Here, taste it."

Luffy took the small chocolate and ate it. Luffy recognized the taste. "Chocolate, right?" Zoro questioned gently. Luffy nodded. It tasted good. "There's going to be chocolate in your pancake, okay? Do you want to try that?" Luffy was still confused. "I'll show you, okay?" Zoro asked kindly. Luffy nodded. Luffy was being slow again, but Zoro had expected it. He was always confused about new things, even though it should be obvious what Zoro was telling him.

When he and Luffy would get adopted, he knew the first few days would be very scary for him. Zoro would probably end up carrying him everywhere, since that was what happened at every new foster home they were sent to. It was always really sad when Luffy woke up in the morning curled up in a ball, scared of the unknown, sometimes crying. He would cling to Zoro like a baby monkey, since the only thing that was he was familiar with was his brother.

When the sample pancake was made and given to Luffy, Zoro cut the pancakes into little bite sized pieces and gave Luffy his plastic fork with no sharp edges.

"Okay, Luffy. Do you see the brown stuff? That's the chocolate. Okay? It's okay if you don't like it, but try to not to make a mess," Zoro said with a reassuring smile and touched Luffy's hair. He and the two adults watched Luffy stab one of the pieces with his blunt edged fork and stared at it, his hands shaking a bit like usual. He ate it and looked blank as he processed the new food, knowing pancakes don't usually taste like this. But then Luffy smiled a big smile. It was really good!

"Did you like it?" Nami asked. Luffy smiled at her and nodded. "Sanji made it," she said and pointed to her husband. The little one look to him and clapped his hands twice, then went back to eating the little pieces of his pancake.

Sanji gave a small smile. Finally Luffy acknowledged him. He had been a bit sad about how confused Luffy was and seemed a bit frightened at first, but at least now he likes the pancakes. So Sanji turned back to the stove and made bite sized pancakes with chocolate chips in them. It was only a few moments later when he looked back to Luffy to see he'd eaten all of the food already, and had smudges of chocolate on the corners of his mouth.

When Zoro saw Sanji's confused face, he said, "His stomach is a bottomless pit when he likes something." He then turned the Luffy. "More?" Luffy vigorously nodded his head. Sanji took his plate and put the mini pancakes onto it and served it back to him.

"Can you get a sippy cup for him from the cupboard?" Zoro asked Nami. "And put some juice in it from the fridge?"

Soon Luffy had his juice, but wasn't doing anything with his food, he just looked at Zoro, waiting for his brother to cut them up. "They're already small, Luffy. Do you want them smaller?" But Luffy looked back to his food and noticed the pieces were already small. So he ate happily for the last fifteen minutes, impressing Sanji and weirding out Nami that he could eat so much while still being so small.

"I thought you said you two don't eat much," Sanji said to Zoro, who was watching Luffy in case he choked.

"Pancakes are the exception."

Luffy ate happily and when he was done, Zoro wiped the chocolate off of his face and small hands. It was getting late, and Luffy had just had an early dinner. He was stuffed and couldn't eat anymore. When he yawned, and every realized it was now late afternoon, Nami and Sanji were ready to go for today.

Nami asked Luffy if he wanted to see them again, and of course he nodded, making Nami smile. "Okay, then. I'll see you tomorrow Luffy," she said and gave him a gentle hug while he was still in his special chair.

"Bye, Zoro," Sanji said as Nami nodded to Zoro as goodbye.

"See ya."

Luffy had no trouble falling asleep that night. He was exhausted from so much socializing. So the two went to bed relatively early, even for them. Zoro wasn't tired but he wasn't going to pass up the chance of Luffy having a great night's sleep. However, the abundance of sleep couldnt get rid of his fussy mood the next day.

Cliff hanger! sorta.

Disclaimer: I know it must take time to choose to adopt any child, and Nami is going very fast. I just didn't have the energy to add in months of more wondering and deciding because then the fic would be a crap ton longer and it's already almost at 70,000 words.

Anyways, please review.
