Sorry for the very long delay. I didn't have any motivation till now. I had this chapter in mind already and I thought that I at least share it.
I do not own One Piece as it belongs to its rightful owners.
Time skip final chapter: Pregnant Fathers
It still feels weird. Either it's the fact that she's back in her own room for a long time, or that she has her own body back, she'll never know.
But as she changed into her bra, she finally realized that it neither of them. It was the fact that her father still has her heart in his possession and that there is a hole in her chest.
She grumbled in frustration remembering the scene, but calmed down shortly as she put on her signature blouse.
As she finished dressing for the day, she opened the blinds in front of her which reviled the ocean.
She took a deep breath and smiled as she flopped on her bed which was right next to the window.
It's the tenth year anniversary since they first met.
Beth has actually been looking forward for this day, not like she'll admit it to anyone.
At the same time, she won't need to hide it from anyone as they already know what's so special today.
"Hey Shachi," the red haired older man turned around as Beth exited her room, "Have you seen dad?"
"Yeah I have." Replied the older man. "He's waiting for you at the top deck."
"Thanks!"
She grabbed her shirasaya and dashed towards the deck.
When she reached, she saw Law in his outfit from the timeskip wanted poster.
"Yo." He greeted her with a soft smile.
"Yo." She replied with a lazy smile, "Did you really plan to hang out here in the New World? I thought you said it's too dangerous here."
"Not if you're strong enough." Law replied with confidence as he gazed into his daughter's silver and new emerald pair of eyes, "Besides, this was the first island we spend quality family time in."
Beth chuckled, remembering the time.
"Yeah except that, it wasn't what I call quality. You hit me there for the first time."
"Well I don't have to now." Law pulled out a cube shape object in his pocket, "Not when I still have your heart."
Beth tried to grab it but alas, Law is still too tall for her.
"Can we just go now?" She grumbled when he patted her hat.
"Sure. Bepo, we'll be back by 3 30. Try to come back to the sub in time if you leave."
"Aye captain!" Bepo waved before becoming depressed.
"Why the gloomily face Bepo?" Shachi asked the polar bear.
"Captain usually takes all of us along with him when we hang out. But today, we're not going to be on captain's side."
"Well it's not the first time." Penguin pats Bepo's back. "He did the same thing when he allied with the Strawhats. But this time, he just wants to spend more time with his daughter. And this time, we're sure that's he's 100% safe."
"Yeah. And besides," Hyo grinned, "now that neither of them are around, we can sneak into their room or do some bro time."
"As weird as that sounds," Shachi replied, "I like the sound of that. Way to think like a man Hyo!"
"But it does sound weird!" Bepo protested, "Because I a bear! Not a bro!"
Nobody bothered to reply his ignorance.
The mall area have somewhat grown a bit, but it didn't change that much and that was all that mattered to them.
"Wanna disguise as an officer again?"
"Nah." Law replied, "There's no need for that if nobody recognizes me."
The first thing they did when they arrive is to go shopping.(Yup Beth did most of the planning) Law watched as his daughter dashed throughout the floor trying different clothes of all shapes and colours.
"How do I look?" Beth questions as she wore a light blue sleeveless turtleneck with dark blue jeans.
Law remained silent for a while, trying to choose the right words to describe her.
"You look like avatar Korra."
Beth blinked blankly as he finished his frank statement. After a few glances, she did sorta look like Korra. The only difference in them is their eye shape and colour as Beth has sharp eyes with emerald eye on her left and grey on the right. Also her figure is more slender then Korra's and that their fringe direction are different with Beth not having any mini splits.
"You're right. So it's a no?"
"No."
Law wasn't much of a shopper so he just stood in a corner while Beth did the actual shopping. While being bored however, something did caught his eye.
"Hey Beth, how about trying this dress?
Beth picked up the dress and gave a sour face.
"But it's pink. And you know I hate pink."
"Just try it. I'm sure they have other colours too."
Though reluctant, she decided that it couldn't hurt as she knew that her father may have a limited sense of wardrobe, at least he good at picking clothes .
"What do you think?" Beth questioned as she drew out the curtains.
Law carefully analyzed her changed clothes. She's now wearing a light pink tube dress with the skirt part of it just above the knee length. He also noticed that she's also wearing a white breast jacket with a thin brown leather belt.
"You look more lady like in that dress. Almost better than the way Nami-ya dresses."
"Do I?" She questions, "Maybe. But I don't look myself in this."
"Well it can't hurt since you don't any dresses in your wardrobe."
But Beth didn't reply him and decided to change out after all.
Beth wanted to buy more clothes but Law didn't let her as he told her that he would pay for the clothes but she'll have to carry them all by herself.
So she decided to lessen her items since neither of the guys in the sub are available. In a bad timing too. She even scouted for them. However for once, they actually didn't eavesdrop.
Dammit.
"Hey Beth." Beth turned around as Law got up from the bench their sitting on, "I going to the bathroom for awhile. I'll be back by 10 minutes."
"Yeah sure..."
Beth stated as she stared at him, trying to peep into his thoughts.
*Reading my mind means deduction in allowance.*
Dammit. Again.
While he disappeared, she wandered around the shops. Glanced at the changes of the place and decided not to buy anything else till Law returns to pay for the rest of her shopping.
She then returned to the same bench as nine minutes had pass.
Eventually Law came back with two drinks in his hands.
"Cool, I didn't know that you knew the existence of bubble tea."
"I do know how to keep up with the times, honey." Beth gave an awkward stare when he purposely said 'honey', but Law remained cool as he passed the drink to her, "Buy the way it's orange crush with 0% sugar."
"...Thanks..." Beth took the drink and drank it. "Buy the way, what's yours?"
"Bubble tea." Beth blinked as Law continued slurping his drink. "With extra chewy pearls."
"Wow. It must be a miracle to get someone like you to drink that.
"Not really." Law smirked, "All it takes is a overly nice polar bear who you couldn't say no to."
Beth snickered as she tried to reply but she was interrupted by a man and a woman.
"Hi excuse me," the woman spoke as she pass out a flyer, "would you two be interested to see the big fireworks that would be seen all over the world tonight?"
As they tried to give her their reply, a man suddenly showed up to advertise as well.
"Then you should show up at the sky-garden to book a spot." Just when Beth thought that it was over, he spoke again, "Are you two a couple by any chance?"
Beth blinked but still spoke anyway, "Dude, he's not my boyfriend."
"Oh?" The man was stunned along with his business partner and a curious Trafalgar Law, "Then is he you're brother?"
"He's not my brother either."
She continued to surprise the advertisers while Law just silently slurp his drink.
"Opps. Sorry." The lady spoke, "We just thought that you both look around you're 20s so we thought-"
"Yeah we are. Like exactly 20 years apart."
That only made the distributors more stunned.
"He's my dad. And he's 36 years old."
There was a silent awkwardness in the air.
"Oh I see now! Ahahahahaha!" The lady laughed awkwardly. "Anyway, please come for the fireworks..."
They scrambled away leaving Law and Beth alone.
"You should really stop messing with people Beth."
Beth smirked at his sensitivity, "Just be grateful that you still look young enough to be my "boyfriend'."
Time seemed to pass by really quickly. As they decided to look at the outside mall, then they had lunch, went back into the mall and won a 10 000 Beli prize. (They obviously cheated) Got chased by a mariner who recognized Law, (old habitats die hard) and had lunch at a Italian restaurant.
The father and daughter decided to go to one last stop to a pastry shop before going back to the sub.
"What are you doing?"
Law questioned his daughter as she opened a bottle of mustard and point it towards the cupcakes.
"Payback."
She replied with an evil grin.
The shopkeeper would have stopped her but would not at the same time as the cupcakes were already paid.
While halfway pulling of her prank, Beth was suddenly tackled from her waist by a bear hug.
"Beth née chan!"
The sudden reaction caused her to spill a bit of mustard. She turned around to see two children one boy and the other a girl. Beth grinned as she saw the two blonds which she then nudged their perms.
"Karen, Kevin, whaccha doin' here yea little punks!"
"We just wanna see you Beth san!"
Law looked at the twins both in awe and confusion. They both seem to resemble someone he knows of. They both had long curly blond hair with their fringe covering over one eye, sky blue eyes and was wearing simple blue top, ash brown bottoms and white shoes. The only difference between the two was that Kevin had short hair and a visible right eye, while Karen on the other hand has shoulder length hair and her left eye is visible.
He walked behind Beth and whispered.
"And they are?"
"Twins Kevin and Karen. Helped them during the south blue earthquake. Which by the way, Karen's older."
Law nodded then stared at both of them carefully. He remembered Beth talking about them before, but he didn't imagine that he would meet them this soon. Let alone in the New World. Which would mean...
"Ah! There they are!"
Heads were turned to the direction of the scream. However what they did not expect was that the voice belonged to a more behave Kid.
"Kids, you should have known better than to ran off like that without telling us first."
"Sorry." The twins said in sync, "But we were so excited to see big sis Beth again!"
Kid blinked heard at the twins, then looked up and saw the two Trafalgars. Beth gave a simple greeting while Law remain in his usual position.
"Ah Beth-" Kid paused then stood up, "Can yo-"
"Trafalgar!"
This time, it came from an irritated Killer with a very pregnant Bonney holding the hand of a child looking no less than five. He had dreamy amber eyes and was messing up his pink locks.
"Finally found ya!" Killer shouted in an unmannered tone which both of the Trafalgars found it an earful to hear.
"We've been looking all over for you since last Thursday!"
Last Thursday? Both Trafalgars thought hard on the events last week, but they just shrugged.
"Don't you dare give me that look!" He roared pointing at Law, "You were the one that caused us to pass out and switched our bodies after that!"
"Did I?"
"Oh for cryin-Just switch them back already! I've been living a nightmare with those two the way they are now for a week!"
Law activated his room, which created a sphere like field covering the distance between Kid and Killer. After that, he used shambles.
"I'm back!" Killer was so delighted that he bear hug his twins unknowingly. "Kids, you're old man is back!"
While the 'Killer' family is celebrating, the Eustass family on the other hand was staring at each other blankly.
"Oi Trafalgar," the voice belonged to Bonney but strangely enough, she sounded deeper than she should. "You think this is funny? You didn't change me back at all dammit!"
"Oh."
"Don't you dare tell me oh! I'm still not back in my own body!"
'Kid' was staring at his hands curelessly until 'he' finally realised,
"Oi Trafalgar, why the hell am I in Kid's body?!"
"My ROOM can only be circular. And you were in the circle that I created Bonney ya, don't blame me for your carelessness."
While the adults were arguing among themselves, Beth noticed that 'Bonney' was grabbing his son's hand too hard to the point of crying. She managed to release him from his 'mom's' new found strength. She also took the opportunity to switch their head accessories to prevent confusion.
"This is serious! My body could go to labour any minute now! And if he carelessly uses my powers, he coul-"
GYAAA!
Everyone got startled as soon as they heard a cry from the pregnant woman.
"Shit!" Bonney ran towards Kid and grabbed him bridal style before he could collapse, "The baby's coming! And this is Mall Island, there aren't any hospitals around here!"
While everyone was panicking , Beth gave a look at Law which he returned with an approval nod.
"We have to take him into the sub, Now!"
Those remaining on the submarine were shocked to find out that the duo were back so soon. However they were even more in shock to have a patient who is going to labour, let alone it be Kid.
"Come on Kid! Push harder!"
Bonney was using the mechanical arm to hold onto Kid's grip.
"It freaking hurts... And I can't tell if it was my stomach breaking or you crushing my hand..."
"Don't be such a pussy! I been through it before when I had Garnet-"
"Arghhh! I wanna die!"
"Don't you dare die in my body!"
The medics were scrambling around the room. Shachi went out of the room to get hot water, Penguin was screeching for the necessary tools for the upcoming child birth, Law was inspecting the monitor of Kid's heartbeat and Beth was tasked to secure the child once it's time.
"Come on Eustass!" Beth exclaimed, "Just a bit more! I can see the head coming out!"
Those not involved watched through the window and was mesmerised as they were witnessing the strangest invent in their lives and they couldn't be a part of it.
"Mommy gonna be okay?" Garnet said anxiously while grabbing onto Killer's pants.
"He'll be fine," Killer said in a calm but secretly in a worrying tone. *Hopefully.*
With one last terrible squeeze from his metallic hand, the screaming came to a stop, only to be replaced by heavy panting and silence.
Though Kid was relieved that it was over, everyone else in the room knew that silence was not a good sign. Beth carried on and cut the cordon with a pair scissors, quickly moving towards the couple with the small babe in her arms.
Beth didn't need to look at anyone to know what they were feeling. The soft sobs from the 'father' was all she needed to hear. Beth examined the infant carefully. He has scarlet like his father's, but she couldn't hear anything from him. She was a bit reluctant to show them their newborn as she did not want to break their hearts. But as the parents, they have right to know.
"All is well."
Beth whispered to herself as she was about to pass the babe to Bonney.
And there was a sudden bawl heard throughout the room.
The parents' expressions immediately changed as soon as they heard it. Everyone else was just relieved that the infant was alright. Beth no longer had qualms to show the baby as she pass it to Bonney.
"And I'm the one who gave birth to this little shit!"
Kid remarked as Bonney hugged babe tightly with 'her' arm; thrilled to experience the joy of his new son. Bonney kissed Kid at the corner of 'his' lips before he join in the bear hug; relieved that they both could pull it through.
Everyone else outside flooded into the room to see the star of the moment with different looks but similar feelings. Bepo was excited as this was his first time seeing a human infant, the apprentices had neutral faces as they grew up in an orphanage, the twins couldn't stop bouncing around the bed excited to look at their new god sibling, Killer looked expressionless but was happy for the both of them while carrying Garnet around his arms so that he could see his new baby brother, and Garnet finally showed an expression rather than his usual dazed face.
Law could tell that he's going to love his new baby brother.
The children along with the remaining heart crew members were playing outside the docked submarine. The remaining adults were sitting on the sub gazing at the others playing with each other. They remained motionless except for the girls as Kid was breast feeding 'her' babe while Beth was swinging her legs at the edge of the sub.
"Nickel," Kid faced Beth direction as she spoke, "is sucking your nipple."
Law smirked to himself while the flustered Bonney nudged Beth's head accidently bumping into Law's.
"It's Nick for short and I know it's a weird name but it was Kid wanted it and he earned the right to it."
The Trafalgars raised a brow while Bonney sighed and explained.
"For each time we have kids, Kid and I would make bets on what we should name him. Gemstones from me and metals from Kid, and whoever the child resembles more of would have the right to name him."
The Trafalgars nodded in sync before turning towards Kid.
"So Eustass ya, how did it feel like to be in labour?"
"Hell." He replied dryly but looked down at Nick who just fell asleep, "But it feels much more sensational when I was the one who made it possible for him."
Law smiled softly and ruffled of what little hair he has on him.
"At least you got to see your son."
Killer nudged Kid's shoulder and glanced at Law. Kid looked at Law sympathetically and passed the infant to Bonney who then passed it to Beth who was about to pass him to Law. Law glanced at Beth and smiled as he ruffled Beth's hat.
"Especially on the first time, you did a great job."
Beth blushed cockily as Law hold the babe and wrapped him tighter with the blanket. Their hearts soften as he rocked the baby passionately.
"I know it's hard without the other member," Killer said, "but not impossible."
"And where are you going with this Killer ya?"
"Well it's just that... My ex girlfriend had my kids without both of us knowing and she didn't want them at all, so she just dumped on me and I never saw her again. The twins took it hard about not having a mom, especially Karen. I think why she looks up to Jewels and Beth so much, because she's doesn't feel like the oldest girl whenever she's around either of you."
Killer sighed to himself before talking again.
"And maybe it's just a feeling as though Kid maybe the only one among us guys who has actually delivered the baby, but metaphorically, we also had been pregnant too."
They were giving weird and judging stares at him but Killer wasn't done.
"I mean think about it, after you're died and mine abandoned us, we had to bear the burden of raising them all by ourselves. But the effort paid off with joy taking its place."
Law gazed softly at Beth. Then brought her shoulders closer to his.
"Yea, it sure did."
...
"By the way, can you change us back yet?"
"Sure, but I think I can stand you much more being like this."
...
"Jerk."
As I mentioned before, I'm going to rewrite this story completely as I could no longer see it the way I used to. Further Warning that the story would be very different but the general idea would remain the same.
For those who want no change towards the original story can leave a review not to. I would label the newer one as a separate story but I will not make anymore chapters for it except for the last story arc.
Thank you to those who has reached the end of the page.
Final attempt: The rebirth of Trafalgar Law (encounters with his wife)
