"Da" someone called from the backseat of the car.
Mihawk glanced in his rear view mirror and looked at his infant son that was strapped in his car seat. "What is it Zoro"
His son began talking gibberish that went on for a good minute. Mihawk listened though and when he was sure done he responded "For the last time Roronoa, we are going to the red haired idiot's house, because today I cannot watch you due to work. Don't make me have to tell you again."
Zoro didn't say anything else but looked out the window instead. Though they were only five minutes away from Shank's house, somehow Zoro found the time to fall asleep. Mihawk rolled his eyes at his slumbering son and quickly worked to undo him from the damn carseat. He swore that the day Zoro grew old enough to be without a carseat he was going to take it and shred it to pieces.
Swearing under his breath he finally freed his son from the damn contraption and made his way to the gate of the house. Ringing the buzzer he waited in the winter cold for Shanks to answer. He cursed at himself for forgetting a blanket or jacket for his son. Not wanting Zoro to get sick due to the cold, he tucked his son in his large coat, where his head was sticking out on the top. A strong cold wind hit the two and Mihawk felt his child shiver.
Feeling his annoyance for the red haired man grow, he once again pressed the buzzer. After a couple of moments, they finally heard a response. "Hawky and little Zoro don't you two just look adorable!" Mihawk ignored the camera in the corner of gate and how the lens began to zoom in their direction.
"Hurry up Shanks, my kids freezing out here and if he gets sick I'm going to break all your alcoholic bottles."
The gates immediately opened and Zoro laughed. Mihawk wasn't sure if he was laughing at Shanks reaction or something else but he just assumed that it was about Shanks. His son was quick like that.
As Mihawk walked towards the front door, he began to ask Zoro some questions. "So Roronoa do you want to spend the day with the idiot?"
"No!" Zoro exclaimed.
Mihawk chuckled at the reaction and asked him another question. "Are you going to be good for Shanks?"
"No!" Zoro yelled and shook his head.
Mihawk smiled and patted his son's head "That's my boy"
"Well look at that handsome fellow there, oh and his father is here too" Shanks laughed at his own joke. The joke that he greeted Zoro and Mihawk every time he saw them.
Mihawk merely shook his head and handed the bag with all of Zoro's necessities in it. Taking Zoro out of his coat, he placed him on the floor. With a nod at Shanks, he headed for the door to leave.
"Da!" Zoro yelled.
Mihawk turned around and looked at his son who was still sitting on the ground. "What is it Roronoa?"
Instead of answering, Zoro instead looked at Shanks and then at his father who was halfway through the door. He raised his arms to him and his bottom lip trembled. "Da!"
Mihawk sighed and shook his head. "No Roronoa, I will pick you up later."
He turned around and was going to walk out of the door when a chuckle from Shanks made him turn around. "Stubborn just like his father." Shanks muttered.
He turned around to see that his son was struggling to stand up by himself. If that wasn't great enough, Zoro took his first step towards his father. He wobbled but regained his balance. When he was sure that he was balanced, his hesitant steps vanished and he wobbly walked the distance that was between he and his father.
He didn't have to reach up to his father, since the man was on one knee with his hands stretched out, to catch his son in case he fell. But he didn't and he didn't stop walking till he collided with his father's chest. Mihawk chuckled and picked his son up with a ear to ear grin.
"That's my boy!" He exclaimed and ruffled the baby's hair. He didn't even see that Shank's had brought out his camera and was snapping pictures. While Shanks was snapping pictures, he barely noticed that Mihawk had grabbed the baby bag and was now walking out the door.
"Hey where you guys going?" He exclaimed.
Mihawk turned and yelled back "I'm going to spend the day with my son, you idiot."
"But I already invited Luffy and today was going to be their first play date!"
Shanks ducked out of the way, as a flying bottle almost hit him in the face. "Stop saying idiotic things you idiot!"
"Well what about your mission!"
"Jimbe will cover for me! Today I'm spending the day with my son."
"No!" Zoro said with a smile on his face. Mihawk chuckled and smiled along with his son.
Shanks watched as both of them walked away with wide grins on their faces. Shaking his head he said under his breath "What a bunch of weirdo's."
