okay my trip to California sucked major ass, but I loved visiting my aunts and uncials. Anyways, I've had major writers block and I'm going to try to pull together another chapter, I really should be working on my book report that's due Monday but there's a 100 percentchance its going to snow all Sunday and Monday so I don't think I'll have school, well lets see if my brain can pull something up for you all, I know you want this chapter but don't rush me please, I love you all but the pressure is intense….okay here we go

The boys returned that night, to find Sanji was missing. This was a shocker to all accept Zoro and Ace. Zoro knew Sanji couldn't handle himself, Ace knew that Sanji was caught by Bridgett. The group was In the kitchen, the girls over by the stove and the boys sitting at the table wishing food would appear.
"Vivi-Chan? Vivi…VIVI!" Nami yelled in the princesses ear. Vivi looked up and responded in a shocked tone
"H-ha-hai?" ( hai means yes in Japanese for all you dubbie fans reading my story) she asked. Nami punched the girl in the head lightly and crossed her arms
"you can be so blonde at times Vivi" Nami said
"don't be mean to her" Ace said over his shoulder. Vivi grabbed a pan from the stove, she didn't know why Sanji left it there, it wasn't like him, but aside from that she walked over hitting Ace in the head with the frying pan.
"what was that for?" Ace asked holding his head and looked up at her
"stay out of our conversation!" she scolded him
"don't give me that look, it doesn't suit you" Ace said. WHAM! Another hit to the head
"shut up!" she yelled
"don't hit me wit the damn frying pan" Ace said.
"fine" Vivi said and reached over him and onto the table and grabbed a spatula from this morning, Sanji must have been lazy to leave things laying around, she whapped the spatula over his head and crossed her arms. The others just laughed at Ace's expression.
"Vivi, you should tell him now" Nami said
"no way, I'm still on strike, even though I talked to him" she said and hit Ace in the head. Ace grabbed the spatula and turned around in his chair looking at the girl, they were at eye to eye level
"tell me what?" he asked
"I'm not telling you" she said
"I'm not afraid to hit you with a spatula" Ace said waving the spatula back and forth. Vivi snatched it and swatted him on the face and smirked
"that was cold" Nami said then laughed
"flies can be so pesky, can't they Nami?" she asked in a mean girl tone
"totally, a pain In the ass" she said and laughed even more. "oh go ahead and tell him" she urged
"no, it's a happy thing and right now I fell…a little…dizzy" Vivi said, her eyes fluttering as she fell forward, Ace caught her and blinked.
"hey, Chopper, mind taking a look at her?" he asked and picked her up bride and groom style heading out the door.
"coming" Chopper said and ran out the door in front of him and to the medical room, Ace fallowed and was fallowed by the rest of the crew. Ace laid her down on the bed and stepped away as Chopped ran over with a thermometer and put it in the girls mouth. After waiting a minute he pulled it back out and shook his head. He grabbed a towel off the shelve and threw it into a bucket of water on the other side of the room.
"she has a fever of 101, but I don't know what the cause is" Chopper said.
"I do, but I don't want to ruin her surprise" Nami said
"surprise?…OH!" Chopper shouted then made a face of glee.
"what's going on?" Ace and the others asked.
"S-E-C-R-E-T!" both Nami and Chopper said. Carue was standing at the door with a confused look, he couldn't get in so he sat outside watching.
"now out! Let Vivi sleep" Chopper said and pushed the boys out and let Carue in. the medical room was very small he was surprised most the crew got in. Nami was jumping up and down with glee. Chopper walked over to the bucket of water and pulled the rag out, ringing it, then walked over to Vivi placing it on her head.

"what do you think is wrong with her?" Ace asked
"who knows, women are odd" Usopp said. Ace and Zoro gave him and odd look
"if she's running a fever then Chopper can heal here with in hours, so why did he seem happy that she was sick?" Luffy asked.
"ware did you come from?" Zoro asked watching their Captain chew on his meat frozen meat, he did not come into the medical room with them, in fact he wasn't even with Ace when the older brother boarded the ship.
"well, when a man loves a woman they tend to-" Ace slapped his hand over his brother mouth
"don't even finish what you were saying Luffy" he said and sighed. Little brothers can be so wrong in the heads.
"I think we should focus on finding the love cook" Zoro said
"that doesn't sound like you, but I do agree" Usopp said
"not a bad idea, but I want to make sure Vivi is okay first" Ace said
"but he could be dead laying in a ditch some ware" Zoro said with a worried tone. All silence fell upon them and Ace's, Luffy's and Usopp's mouths dropped. Zoro was worried about Sanji! OMG! Its was not normal
"I'M HUNGRY! AND HE'S THE ONLY ONETHAT KNOWS HWO TO COOK A DESENCT MEAL!" Zoro yelled at them.
"sure, whatever you say Zoro" Usopp said
"I thought you were my pimp Zoro" Luffy said
"shut up!" Zoro yelled hitting Luffy, he knew the captain was joking but he didn't like that, it didn't fit in with the moment for him. Ace bit his lip to keep from laughing as he watched Usopp and Luffy pick fights with Zoro.
"so your coming out of the closet now" Usopp said
"do you want me to hold your hand while we tell the world?" Luffy asked
"its not like that" Zoro yelled at them and hit their heads. Ace laughed then walked over to the door and peered in the tiny window towards the top. Vivi was sleeping soundly on the bed with a washcloth over her eyes and forehead. Nami was talking to Chopper but Ace couldn't hear.
"you shouldn't eaves drop" Robin said
"you shouldn't sneak up on people" Ace said and looked at her
"what's going on?" Robin asked
"Vivi is sick…I think, and Chopper wont tell me what it is" Ace said
"nothing I can't get out of him, wait here" Robin said and opened the door and entered the room.

"Robin-san, hello" Nami said with a huge smile
"hey, what's wrong with the princess?" Robin asked
"you can't tell Ace" Nami said
"sure thing" Robin said
Chopper smiled then looked at the door. He walked over and pulled it open watching Ace stumble threw the door.
"don't disturb the peace, she'll be find In the morning, go to bed" Chopper said and pushed him out and locked the door.
Ace crossed his arms and sighed, he walked over to the boys bickering at one another then around them heading for his room. He walked in and closed the door jumping from the stairs to the bed landing on the fluffy ness . He rolled over so he was staring at the ceiling and sighed.
"you know, I can tell you what's wrong with her" came a little girls voice
"what do you want Bridgett?" Ace asked
"aw, I hate it when your mad at me" Bridgett said walking over to the mattress sitting on her knee's next to it. She was in another fancy child's lolita outfit, it made her look like a life sized baby doll. Ace stared at her with a glare. The moon shined threw the open windows so he didn't have to use his powers to find her.
"do you want to know?" she asked
"no, I rather wait till Chopper or Vivi tells me, hell I'll even listen to Captain Smoker instead of you" Ace said.
"you know, he's in town" she said
"then why hasn't he come after us?" Ace asked
"he has a special something with a special someone on this ship" Bridgett said "perhaps it could be the reason of Vivi's illness or maybe even be the reason why Sanji is missing"
"I know you have Sanji, and I know who your sleazy hit man is, Mr.2 Bon Clay, he's the only known person to have eating the devils fruit of copy" Ace said
"so you have been doing research instead of finding me, good idea, that's why I didn't see you roaming the streets earlier, and that is why your brother was not with you" Bridgett said
"I see you never give a man a chance of privacy" Ace said
"only you my sweet" she said and held her hand out and brushed her fingers across his cheek. Ace grabbed her hand and pulled her forward sating up so they were at eye level
"you leave me and Vivi alone, everything was perfect until you came into the picture, I worked to hard for her and I'm going to marry her as soon as this shit is over" Ace said
"can you even prove you love her?" Bridgett said
"what do you mean by that?" Ace asked
"if you can't prove your love then you can't truly love her" Bridgett said
"shut up, you little brat, quite playing mind games, I'm tired of this, I'll kill you if I have to, just to make this stop" Ace said
"killing me would be pointless, Vivi would hate you more, even if she did hate me, she is the peace princess, she dose not like violence" Bridgett said
"how do you know that?" Ace asked throwing her hand to the side
"because I used to serve under her" Bridgett said then smirked as she turned walking back into the darkness of the room and disappeared into the night. Ace laid back and sighed closing his eyes hoping the night would go by faster, he wanted to see Vivi.

"oh my god!" Robin yelled like a school girl
"I know!" Nami yelled, since Vivi joined the crew Robin had been more open about things so it wasn't unnatural for Robin to say 'oh my god' every one in awhile
"do you know what this means?" robin asked
"you bet I do" Nami said and clapped her hands together
"you two hush, Vivi is trying to sleep" Chopper said
"I've been awake for a bit now Tony-kun" Vivi said
"how are you feeling then?" Chopper asked
"I'm better just a bit dizzy" Vivi said with a smile
"I can't believe its really going to happen" Nami said
"don't get to excited" Vivi said
"but, your going to have a baby Vivi, aren't you excited?" Robin asked
"of course, its just…" Vivi sat up and pulled her knees up hugging them and stared at the white bed sheets "I don't think I can tell Ace" she finished
"have you forgiven him?" Chopper asked
"yeah" Vivi said
"you didn't seem like it when you were hitting him with cooking supplies" Nami said
"because I can't find a way to tell him I've forgiven him" Vivi said
"you should tell him soon, I know he is doing a good job at keeping his anger under control but there is only so long until he'll snap" Chopper said
"yea, I plan to tell him soon enough, but I think he might do something extravagant to get my attention, so I'll wait till then" Vivi said
"okay, its up to you, I just can't wait till I can be an aunt!" Nami squealed and clasped her hands together
"I'm going shopping for baby stuff soon so make a prediction on if it's a boy or girl so I know what colors to pick out" Nami said and stood up stretching. Robin stood up as well and headed for the door
"good night Vivi, get some rest, I'll make sure we make a big breakfast so you wont starve" she said sounding like a mother. Vivi nodded
"good night princess, good night baby" Nami said and giggled before waving good bye to the princess and opened the door leaving the room. Carue and Chopper looked at Vivi and she stared back at them.
"what are you going to name it?" Chopper asked
"Cossette" Vivi said and smiled. She knew the name was French but she has a good friends by that name in France.
"you know its going to be a girl?" Chopper asked
"it's a woman's instinct to know, yes, I'm positive it's a girl" Vivi said and smiled laying back in the bed. Carue laid his head don and closed his eyes.
"good night princess" Chopper said and pulled the light switch then jumped down leaning against Carue as his pillow.
