Sanji continued reading, wanting to know more.

×××Alright I'm investing in a camera. I like writing in this but it's getting tiring and it hurts now writing so much. I can't imagine writing when baby girl is born. I'll be recording her now.

×××It's almost the end of August. Still no baby girl. Just one more day. I've had to see the doctors every week. They say it's waiting game. Since baby girl didn't come early she'll either be on time or late. I'm really going to have to think of her name aren't I? Well luckily Scarlet helped me pack the birth bag. So when it's time I'll be ready. It has everything well need. A copy of my birth plan. A robe. Socks and slippers. Toiletries. Pajamas to wear after birth. An outfit to wear home. An extra charger that longer than the one I have now. Scarlet bought me a comfortable pillow and a soft towel. I pack my insurance card. An eye mask and earplugs. That's all for me. Scarlet packed that. As someone who has experience with this it was helpful. Then she packed for baby girl. Just an outfit to wear when we go home and a blanket for her too.

×××These last few hours were tiring. I should start from the beginning. It was September 1, that morning I had been feeling off but tried not to worry to much. Jason wasn't gone yet. I did my morning excessive but the feeling was still there after, even though Jason was gone by then. Wanting to be safe I made my way to the hospital. It seemed to take for ever by the bus. I couldn't get comfortable for shit on the bus and it was getting really hot and I was snappy to everyone. I just wanted to get to the hospital fast. Now that i knew something was up. Well when I got there I could barely walk and no one was willing to help me. But now that I think about it it may be because I was grumpy and glaring at everyone. There was one person who did but she was a patient. She had a bandana over her head and was stuck to an IV bag. As She helped me my water broke. She was as frantic as I was as we got to the hospital. She helped me all the way till Jared had showed up to help me. I had her call Jared, he said it took a while to get to the house for my bag. After ten hours, at 3:15 I gave birth. After getting changed and I asked Jared to get my diary and where to find it. He left us to go home. It's almost midnight now so I need rest.

×××One thing after the other. I was starting to second guess myself. I guess no one will ever really know but I was planning on giving baby girl up for adoption. Surely she wouldn't need me. She's to precious for me to take care of. Like you've said I'm just a brute, a muscle head, stupid and ignorant, no way I could take care of her. I was sure someone else could give her a better life. I got a form and was about to write and sign it but I didn't want to risk it. What if She ends up in an orphanage? I don't want to do that to her. That and the nurse dropped her off for me to feed her and for the skin on skin contact. I couldn't let her go after that. I fell in love with her, even more than I did when she was in my stomach. So I through away the paper. Sorry for wasting paper. The nurse just took her away leaving me some time to write. I don't know why but I feel good. With my resolve I feel better. I don't feel all that worried about taking care if baby girl.

Sanji saw more tear stains as he continued to read.

The doctors warned me but to think my hormones would still be in affect. I just didn't expect it. The patient that help me passed away while I giving birth. She was so kind and happy for a sick patient. Cancer, is what she had. I thought I could thank her for helping me out. I talked to her mom and did my best to comfort her but it was also affecting me. I told her what she did and she seemed proud of her daughter, Megumi. Megumi wasn't even supposed to be walking but there she was to help me. After talking to her mom I asked if I could name baby girl that and she hugged me and said yes. Baby girl is now Megumi. Megumi. I like It.

Sanji smiled at the paragraph. So that's how Megumi got her name. Sometimes he wondered, but he just couldn't ask.

×××Just signed Megumi's birth certificate. It's really happening. I'm a parent and Megumi is mine. Megumi. I had thought about naming her after someone I knew when I was little. She was almost named Kuina but I didn't want to remember Kuina when I called her name so I dumped it. It felt wrong for some reason.

×××Jared should be here any minute now with the car seat. It's mandatory to have if I want to leave with Megumi. The nurses are all telling me I should enjoy the peace now while I still have it but I couldn't sleep so here I am, writing. I wonder if you'll ever see this cook. I guess we'll never know. I wouldn't mind if you never did. Reading back it's embarrassing.

×××Megumi and I are in my room. I'm on a little down time. Megumi is asleep so with nothing else to do in here writing. I finally found a place. Let's hope I get it. Lucky for me Scarlet and Jared bought me a camera as a gift. I started using it immediately. As soon as they dropped me off. I really like it.

Sanji turned the page to see it's empty. Guess since he was using the camera he didn't feel the need to write anymore. Sanji closed book and set aside. He learned a lot of things. Again.

Zoro almost put Megumi up for adoption. Things would have been a lot different if he had. Maybe Zoro never would have told him he was pregnant. Would Zoro have been a police officer? Would they have even meet? Would they have ever got to love Megumi? Would Sanji and Zoro ever got together like they are now?

Probably not. He shouldn't think about the things that never happened. Those things didn't happen and he loves both Zoro and Megumi.

Sanji looks over and sees the clock. Damn it's almost lunch. He gets up and makes some sandwiches for them both.

As he sat at the table Zoro didn't show up. After he finished his three sandwiches he got up and checked on Zoro. He walked into his room to see the marimo sprawled across the bed snuggly in the covers snoring like no one could hear him. He closes the door and goes back to the kitchen. He saves Zoro's sandwiches and put them in the refrigerator for later.

As he goes to the couch he eyes the diary. Then he looks over at the box. Since hes got time to fill he'll watch some of Megumi's baby videos. He sets the t.v up and puts in a DVD that seems interesting. He sits on the couch and presses play on the remote.

Watching those videos got Sanji thinking. He loves Zoro, and he loves the present but he would like to understand Zoro more. What's in his head.

By the time Zoro woke up it was well past dinner. Sanji made himself dinner since Zoro wasn't awake yet. When he finally did wake up Zoro ate the sandwiches. After that they watched a movie together before heading to sleep.

"Wheres Megumi?" Zoro asks as he get back under the covers now realizing he hadn't heard her since he woke up. Sanji smiled at Zoro as he got into his pajamas.

"You weren't awake, it seemed like you needed some rest so I told Zeff to keep her for the night. He'll drop her off after lunch tomorrow." Plus he wanted time for themselves he's about to ask a risky question, for him anyway. He wouldn't know how this would end. It could end with a fight for all he knows and he wouldn't want Megumi to be here if it does. As Zoro starting to lay back down on his side of the bed the blonde stayed standing. With all his courage here he goes. "Zoro do you see us ever getting married?" He loves Zoro but he wants a relationship that's going somewhere. Sure they have Megumi but it's not like she was planned. She not some check mark of theirs of the dream future. He just wants to make sure, especially after Lohan.

He sure is taking his time.

But ten seconds seems like forever when someone is freaking out. "Are You asking me to marry you? Crazy idiot, but I'm no better." Zoro answers still laying down.

"Why?" Sanji asks now getting into bed himself. Zoro turned to face the cook as the blonde got into bed.

"Because... I can't find it in myself to say no. I love you and only you. No one else. I don't want to leave you. I want to spend forever with you. And its not for Megumi but for myself. I happy with you." Zoro answers with a smile. Sanji felt relieved. He felt tears well up in the corner of his eyes. He gave Zoro a long and passionate kiss, pulling the marimos body flushed close to his own.

They must be two crazy idiots in love with their beautiful daughter.
