Hello! How have you been? I know that I rushed the last chapter with all the love thing, but you have to understand that what I'm writing it's not about how they fall in love but what they are now.

Anyway we're still in the flashback.

Disclaimer: I don't own One Piece.

Chapter 9.

Flashback.

It has been a month since that night. Everything had went well... yeah… Genzo was not really happy of their relationship and he didn't hide it. Nojiko was glad that her sister was smiling again.

Zoro was starting to think about opening a dojo in the village, like his master. Nami thought it was a great idea and she knew a good place near their house. Yes, their house.

He was in love with her and for the first time in his life he somehow wanted to settle down and be by her side forever.

She was in love with him, truly in love. She had no fear, she wanted to protect him the way that she could.

She wrote many letters to Robin and Vivi. She really missed them too, but Robin was in Ohara doing research and Vivi was the princess of Alabasta so it was difficult to go see them.

Time passed and one month then two months has passed. Zoro was sure of something he wanted to pass the rest of his life with the navigator. He wrote a later to his master, to tell him about everything, he got a reply some weeks after. In the letter his master had suggested him to ask her to marry him. How he asked her was something that no one would have except of a man who is proposing, but well it was Zoro.

Zoro was sitting at the kitchen table, reading the letter for the first time. Genzo was sitting in front of him and Nami and her sister were in the kitchen cleaning the dishes. He finished reading it and put it on the table, takes a breath and said.

`` Hey Nami! Would you marry me? `` Asked Zoro.

Genzo choked while drinking his coffee, Nojiko looked at her sister, who just said: `` Yes``

`` Cool`` Replied Zoro.

`` What? `` Shouted Genzo.

Zoro and Nami looked at him.

`` I refuse! Nami you can't marry him! And you… You didn't even ask me for her hand! `` Said Genzo.

``Oh right… I forgot… Can I have her hand since she love me? `` Asked Zoro with a smile.

One month after that it was the big day, it was a simple ceremony with everyone from the village. They had tried to contact their crew mates but the only person they were able to reach was Robin who couldn't come but wish them the best. Vivi also couldn't come…

Nami was wearing a simple white dress and the ceremony was also simple. Zoro's sensei came; it was the first time that he met Nami in real life.

They had written their own: Zoro was the first one to start.

``I have found my home here in your arms

Nowhere else on earth I'd really rather be

Life waits for us, share it with me

The best is about to be

So much is left for us to see

When I hold you

Because

Hope was all I had until you came

Maybe you can't see how much you mean to me

You were the dawn breaking the night

The promise of morning light

Filling the world surrounding me

When I hold you

And I will always do ``

Nami let a tear fall down from her eyes.

It was Nami's turn:

``Let me be the one you run to

Let me be the one you come to

When you need someone to turn to

Let me be the one

To set things right

When this whole world's turned upside down

For love and understanding, to find a quiet place

For silent understanding, a loving touch

Come to me when things go wrong

Because I love you ``

At the end Genzo told Zoro that he could kiss the bride.

Zoro and Nami shared a passionate kiss.

During the reception they all made a speech and then it was time for the first dance.

(Carpenters, We've only just begun)

We've only just begun to live,

White lace and promises

A kiss for luck and we're on our way.

We've just begun.

Before the rising sun we fly,

So many roads to choose

We start out walking and learn to run.

And yes, We've just begun.

Sharing horizons that are new to us,

Watching the signs along the way,

Talking it over just the two of us,

Working together day to day

Together.

And when the evening comes we smile,

So much of life ahead

We'll find a place where there's room to grow,

And yes, We've just begun.

`` I love you Nami…`` Said Zoro during their dance.

`` I love you too`` Said Nami.

`` Nami, we truly have only just begun `` Said Zoro.

Nami didn't replied but just smile…

They didn't have a real honeymoon because they stay on the island. Weeks passed, Zoro finally opened his dojo and Nami had something really important to tell him.

Nami came to his dojo, the students were taking a break and she had brought him apart of the group.

`` What's it? `` Asked Zoro to his wife.

``Zoro I must tell you something really important. `` Said Nami to a Zoro who start worrying about what she was going to tell you.

`` Zoro, I'm pregnant. `` Said Nami.

A minute passed and no reaction. But suddenly Zoro took her in his arm and hug her strongly.

`` I'm going to become a father! `` Finally said Zoro.

`` Yes!`` Said a now crying Nami.
