30 minutes passed by, and Ume passed out on Ace's lap. He ran his fingers through her hair, and noticed that her forehead was still hot. He sighed softly. "What is wrong with you.."
Luffy came barging in their room, which caused Ume to shoot up from her nap.
"Guys, Sanji has a feast in the galley! WITH MEAT!"
Ume groaned and hid her face in Ace's lap. Ace sighed and glared at Ume.
"We will be there in a minute."
"Jeez, Sorry Ace. I'm just hungry!" He ran out of the room and down the hallway.
Ace sighed and looked down at Ume. "Hey, you hungry, babe?"
Ume shifted, and peeked up at Ace and shook her head. "I know, I need to try to eat." She sat up slowly and yawned. "I still feel kinda icky."
"I know. But you need to eat something, like you said. Come on, after you're done eating, you can sleep more."
"Oh god, that sounds AMAZING." Ume groaned softly as she rose out of bed. She stumbled over to the door and looked over at Ace. "Come on, I'm not going without you!"
"I'm coming, I'm coming." He met her at the door, and soon they made their way to the galley. It was like a party, everyone was laughing, drinking, and having a good time. Ace and Ume walked through the door, and everyone grew quiet. Sanji stood up and held up a champagne glass.
"A toast, to the newly engaged! May your marriage be happy and blessed!"
"Amen to that!" Luffy reached for a pile of beef shanks. Sanji slapped his hand and glared at him.
"Go ahead you two, get something to eat!" Usopp cheered brightly. With that note, everyone began to feast.
Ume stood up and tapped her wine glass "Thank you, everyone. We are truly blessed to have great friends like you! I would like to invite you all to stay for awhile with Ace and I at our home."
"That's so generous of you, Ume." Sanji said brightly as he ran to hug Ume. Zoro grabbed ahold of his arm and stopped him before he could touch her. Both of them broke out into an argument, as Robin and Nami chimed in.
"Sounds great, it would give me time to catch up and study your island." Robin stated as she sipped her champagne steadily.
"I second that. Being on the sea all the time is quite tiresome. Besides, we don't want to leave you two there alone, and then the marines show up again. We want to protect you. You both are like our own crewmates." Nami looked over to Luffy, who was still shoving his face. She took a deep breath and nudged him. "Isn't that right, captain."
"Oh, yeah." He said with a full mouth. He gulped his food down and chased it with a mug of grog. "Anything for Ace and Ume! I want to explore the island some more!"
After an hour of eating, drinking and communicating with each other, Ace stood up and bowed to the crew. "Thank you all for this wonderful party, but Ume and I should really go to bed. Ume's still ill, after all." He took Ume's hand and helped her up.
"Yes, thank you everyone for the meal. I'm sorry I don't feel so well."
"Don't worry about it, Ume. We are just happy that you two joined us." Sanji stood up and began taking dishes to the sink. Nami stood up and helped him gather dishes, and the other crew mates began to file out of the galley.
"Thanks again, goodnight everyone." Ace led Ume back to their room. He laid her down and soon cuddled close to her. "How are you feeling?"
"Full. And icky. And cold. Very cold." She buried her face in his chest and hugged onto him tightly.
"We'll be back home soon, and then we'll talk to the doctor and get you better." He kissed her forehead and nuzzled her. "I love you sweetheart."
"I love you too, Ace." Ume soon fell asleep
