I watched as my triplets followed Luffy around everywhere he went and as soon as my baby brother sat down they swarm him asking him questions about the baby. Luffy is currently nine months pregnant with his and Usopp's first child, a daughter they planned to name Alexa. I really hope she gets her mother's and not her father's.
"Uncle Luffy, are you ok?" my youngest son's voice breaks my train of thought and I see Luffy holding his stomach in pain while gritting his teeth. Oh shit. Of course it happens when Usopp is gone for three weeks promoting his new show.
"Boys, call Papa and tell him to hurry." I say and Lucas, my oldest, nods running to the phone with Chris and Wyatt on his heels. While they were calling Smoker I tried to help Luffy.
"Smoker, your sons are calling." Tashigi says holding the phone out to me. I raise an eyebrow confused on why they would be calling me, but take the phone anyway. As soon as I pressed the phone to my ear my sons start talking all at once
"Stop. One at a time." I groan
"Dad says hurry to Uncle Luffy's house." Lucas says "I think Uncle Luffy's hurt." My eyes widen at that
"I'm on my way." I toss the phone back to Tashigi as I race to my car speeding to my brother in-law's house.
Luffy lets out another painful scream making the boys flinch. The door slams open and Smoker runs in panting. My husband picks my brother up bridal style
"You get the boys and I'll carry Luffy to the car." He says and I nod grabbing the boys' backpacks then herd my sons to the car after their father. The drive to the hospital was thankfully uneventful with the boys being obedient and listening to everything we told them. I give my cell phone to Smoker as I follow the nurses wheeling Luffy into a room.
"Usopp, time to go out in five!" the stagehand says
"Alright!" I call through the door then turn back to my cell phone. I had just called home to check on my fiancé and our unborn daughter, but no one answered making me worry. Had something happened? Shaking my head I decide to call my future brother in-law's cell phone. Strangely my youngest nephew answers
"Wyatt? Where's your mother?" I ask
"He's with Uncle Luffy." The six year old answers
"Where's Uncle Luffy?"
"The doctors took him to a room." Everything froze at his sentence
"Wyatt, what's wrong with Uncle Luffy?"
"Hang on Uncle Usopp. Papa's here." I heat Smoker in the background until he takes the phone from my nephew
"Stop worrying Usopp. Everything is fine." He says "Your daughter just decided to come out is all."
"LUFFY'S IN LABOR?!"
"Yes. Ace is in the room with him and you'll get to see your baby when you get back."
"Take care of them and I'll be back as soon as I can." I hear him grunt before hanging up. I can't believe it. Luffy's in labor and I'm stuck in Albasta promoting my new show. I won't be able to see my daughter until she's three weeks old! I feel like such a jerk right now.
The doctors were cleaning little Alexa while Luffy rested. A nurse approached me
"Um, are you the baby's father?" she questions
"No, the baby is my niece. The father had to leave for three weeks so he couldn't be here." I explain and she nods
"Thank you. Your brother didn't tell us what he wanted to name they baby."
"They wanted to name her Alexa D. Monkey." the nurse nods again before waking over to the doctors. Luffy starts to wake up
"Ace…?" he questions looking down at his now flat stomach and I stop him before he could freak out
"She's getting cleaned up, measured, and weighed." I say and he calms down as the doctor comes in carrying Alexa. My niece had lightly tanned skin and her raven hair curled around her chubby face and button nose then she opens her eyes to show off her dark brown, almost black, eyes giving us Luffy's trademark grin making us laugh. My brother is given a few moments to rest before my family was let in. Lucas, Chris, and Wyatt stare at Alexa in amazement
"Boys, meet your new cousin Alexa." I say
"She's so tiny." Chris says quietly and his brothers nod in agreement. Luffy smiles and moves Alexa so the boys could see her better
"She's really pretty Uncle Luffy." Wyatt says and Lucas reaches out laying a finger on one of Alexa's. She grips his finger smiling
"Alright you three, Papa's going to take you home while I stay with Uncle Luffy ok?" I say and my sons nod stuck in a daze
"Usopp called by the way. He says he'll be back as soon as he can." Smoker says and Luffy nods smiling softly at Alexa. I gently have Alexa let go of Lucas's finger before my family leaves. I smile watching my brother interact with his daughter and I knew he would be a great mother.
