Pregnant month 1 day 4
Memorable meeting
I twist and turn in bed looking up at my wooden ceiling. I just could not sleep as yesterday conversation went through my head. Koji sister is part of the revolution army and the reason she went to the island is to investigate a help signal they receive months ago. They don't know who sent it but she was closes to the island so they sent her to investigate. Also later today they said they are going to free the island. That's awesome and all but how? I dont know but staying in bed makes me more antsy. I guess I will get up and watch the sunrise since I can't sleep. I throw my warm blankets away from me as I got up and dress. I walk onto deck and breathe in that crisp morning air. I watch as the sun rises and enjoy this moment of peace because who knows how long it will last. I rub my belly and Ace responds a little harder than normal. I raise an eyebrow and in the corner of my eyes I watch as Sora stands beside me. We say nothing as we watch the sunrise together.
"Sora I was wondering about something. You don't mind if I ask do you"? I watch as she node at me to continue.
"A few weeks ago in the paper…Ace was executed. I was wondering if you know him. I ask because the sunset reminds me of his fire on his wanted paper". I played with my ring and Ace gave me a gentle tug. I watch as Sora gave me a sad smile.
"I do know him. He owes me lots of money. Here I am sitting at a bar enjoying my lunch when he comes sits beside me and starts a conversation with me. He was friendly enough and he ate lunch with me. He eats almost as much as you do. Anyway he got up said goodbye to me and ran out of the bar. Before anything registered with me the waitress ask if I was paying for both. I had no choice but to agree". I pat my stomach trying to discipline a embryo. Ace! Unbelievable. I can't believe you played the trick you did when we first met on this poor lady. I hope it didn't end the same way it ended with me or there will be no we. I felt Ace and that warmth of a hug like when I was back in that shit hole. Good answer Ace. I watch as Sora eyes cast downwards and she had such sadness.
"I also know him because our first commander was his brother. He should be on the ship that's coming to this island. He would not stop talking about the times he grew up with his two brothers. It is like through though story I knew him more than I did. He is still getting over his death so if he acting all moody it's because he still morning for him but he better. How do you know Ace"? Sora looks at me and I rub my stomach as I think of an answer. I had no idea you had another brother Ace? I thought Luffy was your only brother. I did not get any reply do to the fact that I think Ace is in shock. He did tell me once that he lost a brother a long time ago. I guess Ace never found out that he lived. If I meet your brother I think he should know at least about you and how you ended up in my belly. What do you think? I got a small tug and I think that is a yes. I turn to Sora and decide to give her half an answer.
"A long time ago, on my island Ace docked on my island. He did the same thing to you as he did to me. I also paid for his meal and left the bar and went out looking for him to give him a piece of mind. When I did find him he was sitting at my cliff and smiling out into the ocean. Seeing that smile made me forget his bill. I decided to sit down beside him and for hours not a single thing was said as we watch the ocean. We left in silence but then the next day he was there and apologies about yesterday and from there we became really good friends. My island takes a log pose three weeks before it sets. So within that time I became in love with him and he somehow he did the same. I know its very clesha but he was the first person who treated me like a person and I could not help it. Before he left he gave me this ring and said to come with him. I was stupid enough to deny so instead he said one day he will come get me. The last time I saw him was him waving as his boat sailed away". I could not help but feel my tears fall down my cheeks as I look out into the ocean. I know I will see you again Ace but it still hurts to know that you are dead. I felt Sora wrap her arms around me as we both cried and the only one who witness this moment was the rising sun. She let go of me and we wiped our eyes. I felt a lightness as I rub my stomach.
"I have seen you rub your stomach a lot. Why is that"? I stop as I embarrassingly scratch the back of my head.
"The reason that is because I am pregnant". I covered my ears as she squealed in excitement!
" Oh my god. How long are you along? Is Ace the father? Oh my god! If so Sabo has to know. You have to tell him. He going to be an uncle ahhhh. This is so exciting"! My eyes widen as she came to a conclusion without me saying anything. I guess I can say yes. If so and I see Sabo then I will explain everything to him in private.
"Sora calm down. Yes I am pregnant with Ace child and I am two month and 8 days pregnant. You have to keep it a secret ok. I want to tell Sabo since I am close to being his sister in law or something. So can you keep quiet"? I couldn't even keep up with how fast she nodded her head. I huff in relive and Koji pop his head out of the kitchen. When did he go to the kitchen? Whatever. He called us for breakfast and I walked while Sora happily skipping. I rolled my eyes as I sat down and my usual pile of breakfast was placed in front of me. Sora light up with realization as she looked at me. I gave her a question look but she just waved her hand telling me to eat. We enjoyed our breakfast in silence and when we finished I help them clean the dishes. Koji and Sora both protest agents my help because I was pregnant but said I am fine. They let me dry. I grumbled in annoyance because I am not useless for not another few months. God what are they going to when I'm 6 months with you? I feel like they won't let me do anything.
We walked out into the autumn sun and I awed at the huge ship in front of me. Wow! Now that is a huge ship. The ship dock beside our crappy little boat and I watch as a plank was lowered onto the island. I watch as a fish men, two women, and a man walked onto the island. The fish man was yellow, tall, and had a beard. He looked down at us and I looked back trying to be brave. Ace let his warmth surround me and it made me feel better. The women on the right had long brown hair, brown eyes, and a warm smile. The other women was hugging Sora. She was the shortest with short brown hair, she was warring a hat and a blouse to match the blue hat. The man captivated my attention the most. He had a blue top hat, blond hair, a burned scare covered his left eye, and he had a metal pipe attach to his back. It also sent Ace into a frenzy in my stomach as a grimace in so much pain I had to sit down. Ace calm down. I don't know why you are so mad but god it hurts so much. Tears brimmed at the corner of my eyes as sickness washed over me. Oh god I am going to be sick. I role over to the side of the dock and through up my breakfast. I felt Sora lift up my hair out of the way and looked at me in understanding. While the shorter girl rubbed my back. The guys looked concerned at me and the fish man walked away. Ace calmed down and my breakfast was now fish food. I wobbly stand up with the help of the two girls.
"Sorry about that". I rub my stomach trying to sooth Ace temper and my stomach.
"You don't have to be sorry Koko. You are pregnant but our doctor should check up on you though. Just to make sure you are ok". Sora smile at me and I smile back.
"Oh you're pregnant! Congratulation! Who the dad? Whops forgot to introduce are self. My name is Kola. The guy that walked away is Hack, the women is Coco, and this here is Sabo"! At the mention of Sabo my stomach tense up again. Ace you better calm down. I don't know why you are mad but you should be happy knowing he is alive. SO CALM THE FUCK DOWN! Ace did just that and I guess I took to long for Sora liking and answered for me. I face palmed and watch as Sabo went into to shock. He walked up to me and placed his hands on my shoulder and looked me straight in the eyes. His eyes showed me so much sadness but their was an once of hope.
"Is it true? Are you really caring Ace child"? He ask me and his voice and arms were shaking. I wanted to say yes but there was more to the truth and he should know. I turn towards everyone and made sure to send a glare towards Sora.
"Can I have some alone time with Sabo? I need to discuss something with him and it is private". They walked away and I walked to the edge of the dock to sit down. I let my bare feet submerge into the ocean. I felt my strength leave me but the cool water relaxed me. Sabo followed my lead and looked at me sternly.
"If you are lying to me about this then that's a sick joke". I hush him as I let my legs gently swing through the water and my hands played with the ring.
"Sabo. I need you to listen to me without interruption. From the beginning to the end. You can ask me question when I am done. Understand"? He nodded and I started at the beginning on how Ace and I met. His promise to me and the ring. How when I read his death in the paper I went and ate the poisonous fruit to be with him only to find out it was a devil fruit. I explained how I am currently carrying Ace and in 3 more months he will be born into this world again. How Ace communicates with me and that I talked to him in a dream not too long ago. To say Sabo changed to shock to pure happiness in seconds was amazing. I continue telling him how Ace will regain all his memory in due time and Sabo was now bowling. I finish with my story and he wrapped me in a hug. Sabo kept repeating thank you over again and I soothingly hug him back. He pulled away and I couldn't help but smile with him.
"So since your pregnant with Ace that means earlier when you were sick that was him". I nodded and Ace somehow stayed silent through the whole time.
"Does anyone else know about Ace".
"Nope. I can't tell anyone. If the marines find out I will be chased and killed. You are the only one that knows and I want to keep it that way. For now can your pretend that this is Ace child and keep it a secret". Sabo got up and he helped me up.
"I can keep it a secret but where will you guys go? I'm sure I can pull a few strings for you to stay with us. Also may I tell Ace something"? I smile up at him.
"I have a few ideas and I will keep yours in mind. No mater were I go it will be dangers. Also he is your bother so tell him what you want". I lift up my shirt to reveal the now small bump. Sabo bends down and I felt his warm hand rub my belly.
"Ace I am so sorry I never contacted you and Luffy after the accident. I was hurt really badly and by the time I was healed it was too late to go back. I tried so hard to get home but they would not let me. My boss convince me to join him and I am trying to make this world a better place for us Ace. For Luffy, for you, for a place to belong. I am so sorry I was not there for you when you needed me the most. If I was there then maybe you would not be in this mess. I'm so sorry and you will always be my brother". Sabo stood up trying to hide his falling tears. I felt Ace give me a tug and I think that's his way of apologizing.
"Sabo. Ace just told me he forgave you. Not by words but by the feeling in my belly. I think he really cares for you and was just mad that you never contacted him". Sabo rub his eyes and we walked back to everyone.
"Now let's do whatever operation leave the nest means". Everyone nodded and an understanding was sent through me and Sabo.
