It had been a week since I had found out that I was pregnant. I don't know what I want to do yet and neither does Ace. But we'll figure it out eventually.
I didn't feel any different like I thought I would which was weird. I thought I would be able to feel the life inside me but I felt like I did before I knew I was pregnant - though I may of at the time mistaken it for tsuki tsume. At first I guess I was terrified that I had killed it from a month of normal drinking (well for me) but it seems to be ok, I'll just have to watch myself (Ace WILL NOT be drinking either so that's sweet of him too (even if he didn't get much choice)) and anyway if its gonna have a taste for anything it will be alcohol if its my kid.
And god, just when I thought my breast couldn't get bigger they did - oh joy - madeline just had to be right about that as well.
It's weird looking in the mirror now seeing as I used to see myself and now I see two (not counting tsuki tsume who's already making weight jokes - I didn't think I was meant to be showing a little at this stage though - I'm about 7 or 8 weeks)
One thing I'm really detesting about this...
"Praying to the porcelain god again?" Ace grinned standing in the doorway
Mitsuki glared at him through her messy red hair, slumped up against the toilet
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry" Ace chuckled walking over to her and kneeling beside mitsuki
"Is this what a hang over feels like?" Mitsuki asked with her head in one hand
ace laughed "I think this is as close as your gonna get to one" but it was shot down by mitsuki's glaring again
"I knew I'd get morning sickness but not this violent" She groaned
"Well since you've never had a hang over before I'm guessing its just the universes revenge"
"Anything else you want to have a go at?" she snapped whipping her head up at him before her expression changed to a more softer tone "I'm sorry, I just really hating these morning sicknesses cause it just makes me feel like crap"
"I know but your still the prettiest girl in the world to me" Ace smiled
"Your just saying that" Mitsuki huffed
"No I really mean it" Ace grinned before kissing her cheek "Now lets get some more food into you. Don't bite me though like last time"
Her eyes light up at the mention of food.
"Oh and Madeline said she could preform a ultra scan for us" Ace added
The light in her eyes suddenly died at the thought.
"Everything seems to be in order," Madeline confirmed as she wiped the gel off the ultrasound detector and put it back into place (you may not want to know why or how she had gotten this machine but she had and no questions had been asked) "The development is going smoothly; you'll know the genders in a matter of weeks. I suggest you try to make appointments with doctors when you can."
"Genders?" Mitsuki and Ace looked at each other, and then turned back to Madeline
"Yep there's two in there" Madeline sighed as if it was obvious "It explains the vicious vomiting, which Sabo is cleaning up, food intake increasing and the extra weight" faintly you could hear sabo cursing from the bathroom.
The ultrasonic machine buzzed lightly then went silent after the sound of cutting paper ended. Madeline handed the roll with the ultra sound pictures on.
Madeline was a toxicologist like Mits but she was also a jack of all trades apparently with medicine. Mitsuki knew this first hand since Madeline would always patch her up...even if it was so she could continue training straight away and it was mostly her 'motivators' that got her injured in the first place.
She fixed on her glasses and gestured to the white and black lines, "if you can see this round structure, it's the beginnings of the cranium, and this is the umbilical cord."
Mitsuki and Ace nodded in at the same time, their eyebrows furrowed and concentration visibly present.
"Hey Madeline..." Ace started, looking away from the pictures.
"Yes?" she asked tiredly
"I was wondering... is it okay, to, y'know... whilst she's pregnant?"
"Ace!" Mitsuki hissed with wide eyes - shocked he'd ask such a thing though she was kind of curious now as well.
Madeline chuckled "every guy asks the same thing every time"
Ace gave a satisfied grin to Mitsuki, then turned back to hear Madeline's reply.
"It's not advisable to initiate rough intercourse as bleeding may occur, keep it at an intimate level. You should very well be able to keep at it until birth. But at some points it may be frustrating for the woman."
"Awesome!"
"Ace!" Mitsuki nudged him lightly in the ribs.
"How was the scan then?" Sabo asked when he met mitsuki in the corridor as he finished in the bathroom
"Good, both are healthy and I've done no apparent damage to them over the month I had no idea I was carrying them" Mitsuki nodded
"Did you say both?" Sabo grinned
"Yeah, twins" mitsuki beamed
"2 more little rascals to annoy your crew then" sabo laughed
"I know Benn's gonna have a fit since me by myself turned his hair grey" Mitsuki chuckled at the idea of benn pulling his hair out with two kids running around
"Is Ace ok?" Sabo asked - family was always a issue for Ace
"He said he was fine but you know what he's like" Mitsuki sighed
"Well if someone can get him to talk its you" Sabo said before he walked back down the stairs
"Nice gloves by the way" Mitsuki smirked as Sabo left, noting the pink rubber gloves with hot pink feathers at the top and a fake cheap jewel stuck on the finger.
"Make all the jokes you want but in a few months I'll get you back" Sabo shouted back
"you may not survive a few more months" Mitsuki laughed
Ace stood over the cliffs looking over at the dying sun setting on the mirrored waves. His gaze fell to the pictures in his hand - they looked to only be blobs of white but they were so much more in his mind. Of course he was happy at the thought of being a father with the woman he loved and was marrying in a matter of months but on the other hand he was continuing the line. He didn't think he should of been born a little while ago and he should of been dead but that all changed cause of mitsuki who gave him a reason to live and now he was bringing his own into the world. What if they looked like him or worse his father? would he be able to even look at his own kids without feeling resentment? think about how bad his life had been as a kid would that mean they would go through that or even worse than his own?
"Ace" he nearly jumped when he felt a cold hand on his shoulder; he turned to see mitsuki standing behind him
"What are you doing out here, its cold and.."
Mitsuki smirked "I'm pregnant not chronically ill dummy" her eyes fell to the pictures in his hand "So that's where they went?"
Ace looked down again, shifting his weight from one foot to the others as if he was uncomfortable and trying to find a reason as to why
"It's ok" Mitsuki answered before he gave his explanation "You don't need to explain it to me. What you thinking about?"
Ace didn't answer again
"Are you thinking about him?" Mitsuki asked - she knew him well enough by now to know that look
"Yeah" Ace mumbled before he looked up at the sea again "what if they suffer like us as kids cause of who we are? they'll be in danger from the governemt and all our enemies and..." he looked down again "What if they look like him"
Mitsuki breathed, smiled and gently leaned into ace, resting her head against his shoulder as she too looked out to the ocean "We don't know about the future, no kid has a perfect childhood but we can do the best we can. Sure we have enemies but if anyone so much as looks at our kids in a murderous way I'll slay them where they stand till the kids can do it themselves." she turned Aces head to face her own "And I'm sure red hair is a dominant gene" she kissed his cheek "Don't worry about the future, lets live for the here and now"
"Ok" Ace sighed before a smile soon formed on his face as he looked affectionately at her; his hands snaking down to caress her stomach .
"Good" mitsuki smiled back at him "I think the most terrifying thing you need to think about anyway is Luffy as a uncle"
Ace's face dropped "oh god"
"Yeah" mitsuki nodded "Maybe we should get them helmets or something"
"Wouldn't make much difference, trust me"
"Well theres one thing worse" mitsui sighed "my dad as a grandfather"
"...now your just trying to make sure I don't sleep at all tonight"
Mitsuki laughed in agreement - this was one messed up family but hey no family is perfect in the first place.
A question formed in Aces head though "By the way..."
"Hm?" Mitsuki looked back up at him
"Is it just me, or do these pictures make no sense at all? Can you see the kids? 'Cause I can't."
"Nope, Not at all."
CNK corner!
So by popular demand their having twins though the genders won't be decided for a little bit. So you guys can keep leaving comments about that.
jjddma5: I like the twist. And I can so see Ace acting like that when being told he's a father.
So did I, I think it would of more to be shock than what people may think he would of done if it hadn't of been Mitsuki such as get mad or something. I really wanted to make sure that this couple did have a deep understanding about each other that would make it possible for them to have these interactions in a certain way. And I just had to add that twist, it was just calling to me to do.
Vampirelover12100: A adorable set of twins would be the best. Roger's blood line would spread even more and that will defiantly piss the Government off even more. Ha, I can see it now.
That's the idea - lets see how much we can piss off the government. Ironically it was Garp who actually predicted this if you look back so when he does find out you people better wear helmets and protective gear just in case. Spreading Rogers bloodline as well as mixin it with Shank's as well just pisses the government off.
zdenkac09:TWINS!They MUST ABSOLUTLY be TWINS! One boy and one girl the boy can be Loki, whiich was a god of pranks, and the girl could be Mariposa,which is Spanish for butterfly. This is only a suggestion but please
Twins you asked and twins you got. I have no idea for names at the moment (so thanks) but when I do I think I'll do a voting thing again in the comments where I'll give you guys a choice of names and you can decide but this won't be for a while (give Ace a break he's only coming to grips with it at the moment, don't terrify him with names).
Yioru:A little boy *-* or two little boys *-* oowww yeahhh ! \o/
I think we're all going for what pisses the government, Garp and Benn off most. But we'll see about the genders for now. And I love your stick person!
god of all:Great chapter and story so far please continue this story soon
I will be, I update as much as I can and I'm determined to get this story complete.
At the moment I'm thinking of doing a sequal to this once it's done - this story will finish at the wedding but will continue with Mitsuki's pregnancy - as well as a few spin off's and one shots I think - so far the ones I have in mind are: Roger's ghost watching Mitsuki's and Aces kids from his ghost perspective; a one of kid Ace, Luffy and Mitsuki ending up in the present with Ace and Mitsuki unknowingly meet their own kids but neither know this for a while; the present Ace, Luffy and Mitsuki accidently going back in time to meet a young Shanks and Buggy with Roger still alive; And maybe a little account of Mitsuki growing up in the perspective of Benn Beckman.
If anyones interested I'm still writing my Black veil Brides fanfic as well called Outlaw Eyes which is a Ashley Purdy x oc story.
Ok that's all for now guys, phew long section today in the corner.
Thanks to everyone who commented and I will be looking forward to reading some more since I love getting feedback from everyone.
I'll be updating next week (I hope) so keep reading!
Till next time guys!
