"Up there huh? Robin…can you hear me love?" Luffy asked turning to look at the love of his life as he stood in Dalton's house.
"Y..yes…" Robin breathed out, cracking her eyes open to stare up at her husband. She looked worse than before, her skin was flushed deeper and she was shivering despite the blankets wrapped around her like a cocoon.
"I'm going to take you up the mountain to the doctor alright? I need you to hang on. Just a little longer for me okay?" Luffy asked softly as he held his hand out towards his wife who smiled up at him.
"What…kind of…pirate queen…would be…taken down…by a bug bite?...I…trust…you." Robin said smiling weakly as she reached up and clasped her hand with his, her engagement ring glinting in the light.
"Just hang on a little longer my queen." Luffy said kissing her forehead before looking at the others who were gathered in the cabin.
"I'll take Robin and head up the mountain to the doctor. I'm entrusting Makino's safety to the rest of you, anyone attacks you guys…try not to kill but don't get yourselves hurt." Luffy ordered causing the others to nod slightly although they frowned.
"Oi crap-captain. If you get in a jam while carrying Robin-chwan then she could die from it. I'll go along and protect you both." Sanji said defiantly making Luffy stare at him before nodding.
"Fine. I'll accept it this time but next time I give an order…I expect you to listen." Luffy said his eyes narrowed, he let his crew walk all over him last time and that led to them getting into a lot of needless trouble. He wouldn't make that mistake again.
Despite knowing what happened last time with Nami…Luffy was too worried about Robin to really change anything. He could only focus on her safety and hope both she and their unborn child made it.
He climbed the mountain, uncaring and barely feeling most of his skin freeze and break to the point he was bleeding badly and frost bitten. He climbed the mountain, tearing his hands and feet apart, Robin on his back and Sanji clenched in his jaws.
He climbed the mountain and finally made it to the top where Chopper grabbed him when he started falling again.
"Crap brat! What the hell were you thinking?" Kureha, Luffy remembered the old doctorine's name to be, demanded staring shocked and concerned as she looked at Luffy who placed Sanji on the ground and gently handed Robin to the old woman.
"Please…save them…they're my friends and she…she's my wife." Luffy begged bowing his head before the old woman who held Robin close and looked at the dark haired woman surprised.
"We'll take care of them kid but you're torn up too!" Kureha said as Chopper in his Heavy Point picked up Sanji and moved to pick up Luffy who remained kneeling with his head bowed.
"Please help her! Robin is…she's very sick and she…she's pregnant." Luffy said causing a brief look of shock and horror to appear on Kureha's face as she digested that piece of news.
"Don't worry kid. I'll do all I can to save them both and the blond guy too. Just…just rest. Your family is in good hands." Kureha said swallowing thickly as she quickly moved towards the castle to get her cargo out of the cold.
"Chopper bring them both inside immediately!" Kureha ordered the reindeer who nodded and gently picked up Luffy as well. Luffy's vision went black as Kureha called for several different medicines.
"Luffy!" Robin said immediately when she woke up from her sickness, sitting straight up in bed and looking around warily. It looked like she was in an old stone castle…she spotted a familiar face hiding the wrong way behind the door and smiled softly.
"Hello there." Robin said softly to Chopper who backed further behind the door and gave a meek wave.
"My name is Nico Robin, soon to be Monkey Robin. What's yours?" Robin asked treating Chopper as if he were a normal person, much to his surprise and pleasure. Most people never treated him like this.
"Chopper…Tony Tony Chopper. You…you shouldn't be moving around so much. You were really sick." Chopper said as Robin gave him a warm smile before swinging her legs off of the bed. She felt a bit weak and dizzy yes but it was nothing she couldn't overcome.
"I'll be alright little one don't worry. I have to find my husband though. He's probably worried sick." Robin said wondering where Luffy was, she had thought he'd be right beside her bed when she woke up…how long had she been out?
"He's in another room. He was hurt pretty badly getting you and that other guy up here and we had to treat him immediately for frost bite. You…You're lucky you know?" Chopper asked gaining a bit more confidence as he looked at Robin who gave him a curious smile.
"I'm lucky in several ways little one. You'll have to be more specific." Robin said gently and making Chopper eep when Kureha appeared behind him.
"You're lucky your husband got you here when he did. If he was an hour later then you'd still live but you'd have miscarried." Kureha said bluntly as she looked at the younger woman whose eyes widened and her face paled as her hand shot to her stomach.
"Robin!" A familiar voice cried as Luffy darted past Kureha, who had moved just in time to avoid being run over, and towards his wife. He stopped just short of touching her, slowing down and gently pulling her into a hug.
"Are you alright? You're alright right? Do you need anything? Should you sleep longer? Is the baby alright?" Luffy asked making Robin smile but lean up from her sitting position to kiss him in order to silence him for a second.
"I'm fine dear. The doctors managed to save both of us. What about you? The cute reindeer doctor said you got hurt badly bringing me up here?" Robin asked looking at Luffy worried and taking note of all the bandages wrapped around his body. He looked like he got into a fight with Rob Lucci again, but he was grinning widely in relief.
"I'll be fine. Should have remembered to bring a rope to climb the mountain with is all. I'm just happy you both are alright." Luffy said nuzzling Robin's hair as his hand dropped protectively to her belly.
"Thanks to you." Robin said smiling at him while Luffy grinned back at her before remembering something.
"Oh yeah Sanji played body guard on the way to the mountain despite me ordering the crew to stay with Makino. He has a cracked spine but he's expected to be okay as well. He got into a fight with mother nature and he didn't really win." Luffy said with a wince as he remembered Sanji hitting the rock again.
"Is Makino alright? Where is she?" Robin asked alert immediately as she looked around for her daughter as if expecting the girl to come barreling into the room as well.
"She's fine love. Our baby girl is okay. She's with Nami and Vivi and Usopp…and Zoro too if he didn't get lost again." Luffy said calming his wife down and making her relax while Kureha raised an eyebrow.
"I know kids these days are starting younger and younger but you two already have one kid on a pirate ship and are expecting another?" Kureha asked reminding the two that they weren't alone.
"To be fair Makino is our adopted nine year old daughter who worked for a bounty hunter organization before we adopted her. Besides. Where else would the children be? It's not like wanted criminals like us can settle down on an island and not expect the marines to come knocking." Luffy said shrugging it off, neither he nor Robin had a problem with raising their children on a pirate ship. They could ask Franky to make it baby proof and child friendly when he built the Thousand Sunny which would mean there was no danger for their baby on the ship. Especially since if anyone attacked their baby Robin and Luffy would retaliate with extreme prejudice.
"That's another question I have. Your body shows signs of being pregnant for a while now, much longer than the two month growth the baby is at. Mind telling me how that's possible?" Kureha asked crossing her arms over her chest as she looked at Robin who responded by growing a hand from the wall nearby.
"I ate the Bloom Bloom Fruit but it was given the wrong name. It allows me to grow things or pause things in their growth. This includes my own body or the one inside of it. We…we want to be officially married and together for a while before I resume the pregnancy. I don't want the crew to think that Luffy and I were trapped together because of the baby or think that our baby was an accident." Robin said easily, knowing she'd have to tell Chopper this anyways since he is the doctor of the crew. It'd be hard to hide a pregnancy from the one who would be there for it the entire time.
"Understandable. Whatever not like it's my business anyways. Anyways we should probably discuss your payment for my services." Kureha said grinning slightly at that and making Luffy nod.
"Name it." Luffy said simply making everyone look at him in surprise.
"Huh?" Chopper asked looking lost and making Luffy smile at him.
"Name whatever price you want. I'll give you anything. It's the least I can do." Luffy said smiling as he glanced at Robin who smiled and felt tears in her eyes at hearing Luffy's next sentence which had Kureha mildly impressed and Chopper shocked.
"After all. You saved two of the three most important things in my life. Out of my wife and two children…you saved my wife and our unborn child. I'll pay whatever price you want."
"Just name it."
Luffy was dead serious about it too.
